HELEN HUNT JACKSON.
The Life Work of One of Our
Most Gifted Writers.
A CHAMPION OF TRUTH.
Joaquin Miller Says She Was the Brave,t o.
Eli Brave Women in History-she Always
Espoussi the Cause Of the Weak.
Written for the MORNING CALL.

"What the world wants snd needs in
poetry and fiction now is truth" This is
what Helen Hunt said to the writer more
than twenty years ago. And each succeed
ing year has demonstrated the correctness
OF her utteranee.
The inquiry of the cultured world lies
along the lines of truth; and the author
who has not some lesson to teach or some
truth to illustrate soon settles down to the
bottom and out of sight Noise, unnatural
ness. nonsense-these things, no matter
how brilliantly set forth, soon sink TO the
slums, and only the true and natural and
sincere survive. We look back with amaze
ment on the popularity Of some books we
once loved that are heard of no more now.
Helen Hunt had horror of popularity, and
yet she narrowly escaped it In her last days,
dying only in time. For Ramona" written
here with us. is perhaps to-day the most pop
ular story In America. She once said to me,
81 am glad Mr.. -, the present editor of the
Century, is associated with the new maga-
zine; he will keep 1t above popularity"
Helen Hunt was the bravest OF all brave
women in history. Born in the midst of
luxury and refinement, Graded in library
and reared in what is something more than
the average university Of to-day, she turned
from all these and taking up the cause of
the weaker side, the desDised savage, she
made her abode on the border and found
her lifework in the wilderness. But her
courage did not end with self-denial and

chants they take more rest than we do and
they will not open their stores during the
holidays nor on Sundays. Everything is
closed in Russia on Sunday, aud ST. Peters
burg and Moscow at this time lock much
more like Boston tnan Paris
1t is interesting to watch one of these
bazaar merchants close up for the night. In
the first place he locks up everything in the
store and seals it shut. He then comes out
side and closes his windows and locks the
front door Of his shop with great pad lock.
he then takes string and ties the paddock
to the staple and joins the two ends Of the
string together and puts hot sealing wax on
them. This he stamps with his own seal,
so that 1t will be impossible to open the lock
without breaking the seal. He then stands
in front of his closed doors and crosses him.
self and says prayer before he leaves for
the night, and he will say another prayer
when he opens up In the morning. This is
done by every merchant and the cross
Ing and sealing of these padlocks is going
on all along the arcadeS at the hour Of
closing.
The Russians do not advertise a great
deal, and Russian business advertisement
looks queer to American eyes. There are
thirty-sx letters In the Russian alphabet,
and these letters seem TO be a mbinatlCn
of the Greek, Chiuese and the Arabic char
acters. great majority of the lower
classes cannot read them. and the result is
that it hardly pays the merchant to adyer-
tise. You see few posters about the cities.
and the sandwich man is absent from these
Russian streets. Many of the peasants can
not read the signs on the stores, and for
this reason nearly every store has painted
on its walls pictures of the articles sold
within.
| saw barber sign the other day here in
Moscow which consisted of a bare-armed
man shaving patient who sat upright in
one chair, while just opposite him sat lady
who was holding out her arm, from which
stream of blood was spouJng and upon
which another barber was performing the
operation of blood-letting. In another part
OF the picture on stool was a man having
tooth pulled, and the sign intended TO con-
vey the fact that the barber within was
dentist, shaver and a surgeon. A feed
store will have bundle of hay in a door
way aud or the walls at the side of the door
will be painted horses feeding and cows
grazing.
The dairy signs are cows with maids or
men milking them, and the tea signs are
usually gaudy Cinnamon, who are slipping
tea.
Even the newest Inventions, such as the
typewriter, the bicycle and the camera, are
painted on the sgnboards in this way. and
sometimes the whole front of store will be
covered by pictures, each of which repre-
sents some article sold by the merchant.
The windows are filed with samples of the
goods sold, and not infIequently articles
are suspended on the walls outside in order
TO show just what Is offered within. Every
merchant makes his calculations with box
OF wooden buttons strung on wires, just as
the merchants do In China, ana only the
larger establishments keep book accounts

curious features that / will treat OF them In

from little ones no bigger than watch and
worth only few cents up to great paint

The baby of our Consul-Gsneral at ST.

Few weeks ago, and its nurse said that tie
und0ubted cause of its illness was because
there was no icon picture in the room In
which 1t was lying. and she would not con-
tlnue to wait upon tile child until one was
put up. In every railroad station in Russia
there is shrine of this kind, and you can
not getout Of sight OF a picture of one of the
saints, OF the Virgin or of the Savior. There
are stores here in Moscow which sell moth
ing but icons. and the pain ting Of them
gives work to thousands. LII making them
the workmen get prices according to the
size Of the saints and their number. A good
man can make three, each containing one
figure, in week, aud as he gets so cents a
saint, he makes 81 80 at this rate for weeks
work. Some of the icons are very we'll
painted, and those in the churches are often
studded with jewels and the metal work is
of solid gold Some icons are hO!ier than
Others and the most sacred are kissed by
the worshipers and candles burned con-
stantly before them.
Speaking of candles, Russia burns more
to her population than any other country In
Europe. She uses about 100000 pounds
Of candles every year, and one Of the great
sources of income Of the churches is their
candle sales. At the door of every great
cathedral there are candle-peddlers, who
have counters before them and who sell
candles to the wOrshipers as fast as they can
hand them out These men are dressed in
the uniform of the church, and they take in

what they would with them. The interior
Of this church is as large as the hall of the
House of Congress. Its halls were hung
with golden icons and there were 1eweled
icons on the pillars and set into the solid
silver altar of the back of the church. Be-
fore each icon there was silver candle

Ing the hands of the church officer who pre-
sided over each candlestick and being lit by
him and put before the saint There were
probably 500 candles burning at one time in
this one church, and when you remember
that this goes on all over Russia every Sun
day and every holiday and during most of
the days of the week you can see where the
candles go to. A large part of~the candles
used are made in houses and not in large
factories, and in fact the house industry
of Russia seems TO surpass that Of the fac
tories. 1t is estimated that there are Z, 500 600
workmen in Russia who make things at their
own homes and one authority states that
these people turn out 81, 500. 600, 900 worth
of goods every year. These people in mauy
cases peddle their goods themselves, and in
some instances they work for the fac
tories.
Russia has, in fact. mary queer trades OF
which We know nothing. Along the Volga
there are colonies who make a specially Of
breeding and raising cats, which are sold

Tolstoi. In lula, there are eighty families

and in Tamb0ff there is a section where
pigeons are bred for the sake of their
skins. which are sold at the weekly bazars
and at the fairs. The feathers are, of
course left on the skins and they eventually
form part of some lady's cloak or hat. La
