LEOPOLD Won RANKE.

Sketch of the Career of the Recently De.
ceased German Historian.
The late DR.. Leopold Won Ranke was
Germany's greatest historian. His life
was devoted to study, and his works
evidence vast research and mastery OF
materials. He had planned for the great
work Of his life history of the world,
which was to be in nine volumes, but
had completed but six volumes at the
time of his death.
Leopold Won Ranke was born al
Wiehe, in Thuringia, on December 81,
1898, and completed his sixtieth year as
professor in the University of Berlin on
March 81, 1885. He began life as a
student, his position being that of tutor
at the college of Frankfort-on-the.
Oder. His first work was published
in 1924. Four years after he was sent
officially to examine the public archives
accessible to him in Vienna, Venice,
Florence and Rome, an occupation ex-
tending over four years. During this
period he obtained the materials for the
books which successfully appeared.
The book which first gave him Euro
pean reputation was entitled 1.-The
Popes of Rome" This great work ap.
peared in 1884. Lord Macaulay's re-
view of it in the Edinburgh Revieao is 9
masterpiece. 1t made Ranke's name
familiar to English and American
readers. In 1S41 Won Ranke was ap-
pointed Royal Historiographer. It was
in 1865 that he was made president OF
the Historical Commission of Munich,
and at the same time entitled to prefix
Won to his name.
Won Ranke married an Irish lady,
Miss Graves, very superior woman,
but of retiring disposition, and who
never shared his literary work. He had
son and two daughters.
He held command of his surprising
power of mental concentration up to
within short time of his death. Last
January the writer of fifty learned books
conversed with frmness, luency and
continuity, convincing his visitors that
he was as skilful with his tongue as with
his pen. Weather permitting, the vet
eran of more than ninety years old
walked two hours day in the open air,
and wrote or dictated eight hours of the
twenty-four. He lived among his books,
thirty thousand of which lined the walls
of his study.
He was great favorite with the EN-
peror William, who presented him with
full-sized portrait of himself on his
last birthday. On the mantel-piece OF
his study stood full-length photograph
of the Crown Prince in his Cuirasser
uniform, also a gift from the original
Springfield Republican.

TRAVELLING DRESSES.
The Rage For Taiior-NIade Costumes of
Small or Underlined Pin Checks.

The Rage For Tailor-NIade Costumes of
Small or Underlined Pin Checks.
Tailor-made dresses are the fashion
for travelling, and are oftenest of small
checks, either clearly marked or else the
underlined pin checks that are merely
one or two threads of white crossing
others of color-brown, blue, red or
black. These must be all of pure wool
that will not cookie, yet of light weight
that they may not be too warm or too
heavy for midsummer journeys. For
these reasons the sleazly-woven
Cheviots and serges are made up BY
tailors, and the designs for these are ex-
ceedingly simple. Two extremes are
seen in these dresses; one, intended for
slight figures, has short drapery and
kilt skirt of very wide or. of very mar.
row plat, while the other, for these who
are inclined to stoutness, has long drap.
cry nearly covering a foundation Skin.
that has no plats at the foot. Some
times a compromise between these is
seen in a deep over-skirt made of
doublewidth wool goods, draped around
the figure, with only one seam, and
perhaps with the lower edge left to
show its sewage. The basque is
an exceedingly plain position,
with two rows of stitching
on its edges, and otherwise without
trimming. The plaits in the back of the
basque must be pressed fatty, and Sc
cured so that they will not spread open,
no matter how large the tournure may
be. The collar may be high standing
band, or else it may be a woodworking
collar that can be worn with a chemis-
cite of pique, or percale, or of tucked
linen; and it is also a good plan to have
separate chemisette and collar of the
dress material, to be used inside the
rolling collar, closing the dress up high
about the throat. making it more con-
7enient on long journeys. The coat
with such dress is of the material cut
in skeleton sacque-that is, without
lining-and may be closely fitted by
dart in each front, single-breasted, and
buttoned by small braid buttons, or.else
it may have loose double-breasted
fronts, with closely adjusted back. The
Norfolk jacket, with a hood, length
wise plaits, and belt, is also liked in
the rough homespun cloths which tail
ors use for travelling outfits; sometimes
this jacket alone is made of checked
goods, while the dress may be of solid
color, such as the ecru, tan or blue
twilled serge Of homespun.-Harper's
Bdzar.
