MUSEUM GETS GREAT GIFT. Altaian Berjues* Most Valuable Ever . Received {? the Institution. with the filing of iu>- ??i? t>f ?i-nj.? mln Altman. the New York merchant, came the announcement by Dr. Ed ward Robinson, direc tor of the Metro polltan Museum of Art in New York city, that Mr. Altaian's bequest toi the museum wan the most valuable collec tion of works of art ever given to that Institution. The monetary vnlne of Mr. Altnian'a bequest Is Ineaienlable. according to Dr. Ilohlnpon. und its Importance can be estimated only when It Is under stood that Its value by far exceeds a cash, gift of $5.000.000 made by Jacob S. Rogers, the locomotive bulkier of Pntorsoh, N. J., whose bequest was said by Dr. Robinson to bo toe next largest to Mir. Altaian's, although only the Income f? nvnilnlili?. Furthermore, the value of Mr. Alt man's collection is greater than the value of all tho gifts actually made to the museum by the late J. Pierpont Morgan, because, according to Dr.. Rob inson, the Morgan collection of paint ings and art objects merely has been loaned to the museum for exhibition purposes and Is not au outright gift. At thr time of Mr. Altman'a death persons who were' familiar with the Altman collection valued it at 815.000. 000. but as a matter of fact, it Is im possible to set cash values on many of the treasures In the collection. There are thirteen Bembrandts alone in the collection. TAFT FOB ADMINISTRATION Urges Support of Party In Power at Boston Dinner.

Schopenhauer Was Not a Bit Afraid to Praise Himself Out Loud. Schopenhauer, the great German ph'l losopher, afforded vit* of the it: i . r.* tnarknble examples of self complacent*? that baa ever been known, ills naive euloglsms on his own productions are almost beyond belief. In writing to his publishers of his work he says. "Its worth und Importance are so great that I do not venture to express ft even toward you because you could not believe me," and be proceeds to quote a review "which speaks of me with the highest praise as the greatest philosopher of the nge, which u really ?ayiug much less than the yood mun Uitiks." "Sir," he ?nid to au unoffending stranger who watched bitn across a fable d'hote where he acted the part of the local "Ilou" habitually?"sir. you are evidently astonished at my appe tite. True. I eat three times us much as you, but then I have three times us much mind." Auerbach, tho German novelist, also had n great appreciation of bis own powers and work, aud many stories are told of the obtrusive way In which be dfcplnyed his vanity. A German writer says of him: "Kvery year Auer bach visits throe or four fashionable watering places, at each of-which the following episode occurs nt least thirty times. Tho novelist indulges in small talk with the little children of the na tives and invariably cuds the comer nation thus: *Know?*st thou who has beeu miking with thee? Behold Auer bach!

The cr?a tiou took ulx days, and oil the seventh there was rest. On the seventh day of the seventh month a holy observance was ordulacd, und the Israelites feast ed neveu-days and rested seven days. ; Noah had seven days' warning of the ' flood, and the seven years of plenty were foretold In rimraoh's dream by seven fat beasts, as were the seven lean j years by seven leuu beasts. We speak i of the seven heavens, und tho seventh son was supposed to lt? endpwed with pre-eminent wisdom, in short, there Is no other number which enters Into tue Bible so often as seven. No -doubt the j wide popularity of the number and the superstitions which are connected with it came from Its wide use in the Bible. Tacking Explained.
