Never has a man been more method
ical in his work than Professor Ruskin,
nor more precise in obedience to the
rules he has laid down for his guidance.
His working hours have always been
from in the morning until noon, and
on no account whatever would he ex-
ceed the limit. Within those five daily
hours has all his work been produced
books, lectures and business, public and
private correspondence. Work in the
afternoon has always been by himself
forbidden, unless it took the form of
reading. Eis earlier works, of course,
were written at Herne or at Denmark
Hill or while on tour on the CONT
nent. His later ones huve been wrought
In great part at the flower decked table
Of his study, overlooking Coniston lake.
A wonderful room, that long study of
his, with his Turner's upon the walls
and ranged in ranks in the great Turner
cabinet upon the floor, with its book
cases Of wonderful missals and manu-
scripts and early black letter books and
the original manuscripts of half dozen
of Scott's novels, with its superb Lucca
della Robbia Virgin and Child" over
the fireplace at one end and the mineral
cabinet at the other. With what pleas
ure did Ruskin show them to me on my
first visit-the unrivaled collection of
agates and the equally perfect collection
of gold ores and the rest.-McClure'

The Chinese Hunchback.

I am reminded of a picture pur-
chased some time ago. bought 1t be-
cause thought it was the ugliest pic
ture had ever seen. tried to find out
the history or meaning Of the thing for
some time without any success until q
few days ago. while studying Taoism, I
found the ugly man was one Of the
Taoist gods. In his early days his spirit
had the power of leaving his body ard
roaming over the universe alone. When
off ON one of these trips. wolves came
and ate his body. So when his spirit re-
turned it found only few bones. After
hunting around for awhile the spirit
found the body Of dead hunchbaok
beggar who walked with an iron cane
In his lifetime. The spirit crawled in
this body and has lived in it ever since.
Tih Kwalei, for that Is the gods name,
carries gourd on his back, which, If
the breath were blown out of it in the
heavens, would bring back his original
body. According to last accounts, the
breath has not flown out of the gourd.-

THE FIRST IRISH POTATOES.
Dir Walter Raleigh Planted Them Nes

Dir Walter Raleigh Planted Them Near
Cork, but the People Feared Them.
Sir Walter Raleigh was an unprip-
cipled adventurer and failed as an ad-
ministrator and colonizer, but he had
a most commendable taste for planting
and gardening, and in these branches
of effort his influence remains potent.
Three hundred years have passed since
be lived In Ireland, in the county Of
Cork, on the vast estate which had been
bestowed upon him, but the yellow wall
flowers which he brought to Ireland
from the Azores still flourish and bloom
In the very spot where he planted them.
Near by, at Youghal, near Cork, on
the shores Of the Blackwater estuary,
stands the Affane cherry which he
planted. Some cedars which he brought
to Cork are still growing at place
called Tivoi. Four yew trees, whose
branches have grown and interlaced
into q sort of summer house, are point
ed out as having sheltered Raleigh when
he first smoked tobacco in his garden at
Youghal.
Raleigh tried to make tobacco grow
In Great Britain, but the climate was
not found suitable to it. He succeeded,
however, by introducing the habit Of
smoking it, in making it grow in plenty
in other places.
More important to the world than the
spot where Raleigh sat and smoked his
indian weed is another spot in his gar
den at Myrtle Grove, in this same
Youghal. This spot is still bounded by
the town wall of the thirteenth century.
1t was here that Raleigh first planted
curious tuber brought from America,
which throve vastly better than his to-
bacco plants did.
This tuber Raleigh insisted was good
to eat. though common report for long
time pronounced it poisonous. Some
roots from his vines he gave to other
land owners in Munster. They culti-
vated them and spread them abroad
from year to year.
This plant was the Irish potato. Be-
fore many generations it became the
staple food of the Irish people-almost
the only food of great many Of them.
1t was the Irish potato" which
came back to America and became the
groundwork, so to speak, of the Amer
ican farmers and workingman' daily
breakfast and dinner. Sir Walters
curious experiment in acclimatization
became an economic step OF the very
first consequence, and the spot at You
ghal which was its scene deserves mark
ing with monument much more than
do the places where the blood of men
has been shed in battle.-Youth's Com

A remarkable sight to be seen from o

While over Lake Erie Carl E. Myers,
the balloonist, says he saw clearly a
wreck lying under rs feet of water. It
was that of schooner, sunk 40 years
ago. At height of half mile the en-
tire bottom Of small lake or pond can
be clearly seen, and Mr.. Myers believes
that on a clear day an aeronaut Of good

submarine objects at depth Of 400 OF
500 feet beneath the water.

NO DISCRIMINATION.

Rock Greek Railway Denies Having Vio-
lated the Interstate Commerce Act.
The Rock Creek Railway Company denies
that it has violated any provisions of the in
terstate commerce law. as charged by Charles
VI. Wilson. of Montgomery county, Nd. In
fact, the company does not regard itself
amenabIe to that law, holding that the road
does not properly come under the definition
of railroad" as contemplated IL the act.
Henry E. Davis, as attorney for the COM
pany. has fled with the Interstate Commerce
Commission the company's reply to Mr.. Will
sons complaint, which was that the company
had violated the interstate commerce law by
charging one fare for its line within the Dis
trict OF Columbia and another for that part
lying in the State OF Maryland.
The company denies that unjust or unlaw-
full rates of fare have been collected. and that
the former charge of 4 1-6 cents per passenger
was sufficient, AYERS that the present cnarge
of 81 cents is authorized by the charter IN
der which it operates, and denies that the
advance in rates was made for the purpose OF
excluding any portion of the public from
using IT'S lines or that any discrimination has
been made.
The double tickets disposed of to those de-
string to visit property owned in Montgomery
county by the Chevy Chase Land Company
are supplied by the railway to the company,
the latter having a clear right TO make such
further disposition Of what they have pur-
chased as seems proper.
The company protests that it is no more
amenable to criticism than If it should at the
request of merchant sell him ticket over
either one of the divisions at full rate, leaving
it to the merchant to dispose of the same TO
his customers, or IN any other manner which
he might deem advantageous for his business
interests And ii Is no concern of the COM
pany that by reason of the manner by which
the Chevy Chase Land COMPANY disposes OF
the tickets. certain persons favored by the
land company are enabled to take longer
ride on its road than other persons not so ia
vored by the land company.
1t is asserted that freight is handled by the
Rock Greek Railway only for the benefit OF
residents along its line and is not used by the
public generally.

DOCTORS DON'T THINK ALIKE.
Two Declare Sanford Waters Insane ano
Two Assert the Contrary Opinion.

Two Declare Sanford Waters Insane and
Two Assert the Contrary Opinion.
The case Of Sanford NJ. Waters was brought
up in the police court yesterday morning
The arrest of Waters was made upon the com
plant of Charles H. Cragen, who charged
him with intimidating and making threats
against him.
The cause of the trouble dates back several
years when Waters was sent to the ST. Eliza
beth's Asylum for insanity. Upon his incar-
ceration his wife, Mrs Waters. was appointed
a committee to guard his property and the
complainant in the ease was made attorney
Waters was also at that time receiving a
pension for war inju juries.
During his confinement an uncle died leay-
ing considerable property 10 the defendant
the renting receipts of which were, however,
small. because of the slow improvements in
that locality. Waters at this time was paroled
from the asylum. and upon inquiring into his
financial matters accused Cragen of prevent
ing him from receiving his money by inf1u-
encing Mrs Waters to collect and retain all
moneys.
This belief increased to such a threatening
extent and Waters has acted so violently to-
wards Cragen of late that the latter secured
Waters arrest. Drs. Patterson and Kelin-
schmidt stated to the court that the defendant
was subject to deusions and would cause
trouble. In contradiction Drs. hewitt and
Maytield. the board of police surgeons, main
tanned that he was sane.
While upon the stand the accused spoke
nationally Upon making the decision. Judge
Miller said that theoretically the man was in
the asylum, and therefore beyond the juris-
6iction of the court, but on the other hand
the defendant had claimed to be able to recall
the occurrence of Wednesday last the date of
the charge, and was from his own admission,
within the power of the law. Owing to the
circumstances of the case the court certified
the defendant to the Secretary of the Interior
for examination until such time when he
could be tried for the offense charged.

Medical Association OF the District Holds
Its Semi i-annuaI Session.
The regular semi-annual meeting of the
Medical Association OF the District was held
last evening in the law building of the George
town University, on E street. between Fifth
and Sixth streets northwest Dr. George
Byrd Harrison handled the gavel and DIR.
James D. Morgan. jr., did duty at the secre-
tary's desk.
The association does its work on the quiet,
admitting no one to lis deliberations except
ing he can present membership credentials.
"It differs materially from other societies. -
said DR. Woodward, last night. 1T reserves
the right to go into executive session. when
transacting business. and really there is but
little done at any time that would interest
ANYBODY outside of its members hip We Of
ten discuss each other and talk about appli-
cants for membership in way that would
not interest the general public
The reporter mildly suggested doubt upon
that point, and Dr. Woodward added:
well it might be OF interest, but the asso-
citation is purely ethical, and it is not to be
classed with the ordinary medical society
that is to say, its business concerns only its
membership, and il is therefore a private or
ganIZation.
The hall was graced by number of lady
physicians. among whom was DR.. Anita New
comb McGee. The ladies seemed to be quite
at home, and had evidently proved them
selves equal to the duty of keeping secrets,
since their affiliation with the association has
been of several years duration.
1t is evident however that physicians have
more ways than one to dissect people, and
that they are aYerse to disclosing their
methods OF either operation.

They Will Be Assumed by the Methodist
Union of the District
The Methodist Union of the District held
an adjourned meeting last night at Wesley
Chapel, corner of Fifth and streets. Presi-
dent G. ". F. Swartzell was in the chair, and
Mr.. E. F. Simpson acted as secretary, the
secretary, DIR. C. R. Clark, being absent.
After prayer by Mr.. Alexander Ashley, the
committee appointed at the last regular meet
ing to investigate the financial condition Of
North Capitol Church, made its report. The
committee, which consisted OF P. L. Brooke,
DR.. C. R. Clarke. and G. W. F. Swartzell. re-
ported that the floating debt of North Capitol
Church amounted TO S3, 100, in notes ranging
from 500 to 800, held principally by sub
contractors on the work of building the
church, which was completed in 1892.
The committee recommended that the
union assume this debt and that the trustees,
together with a committee from the union,
take the necessary steps to raise the amount
on a second mortgage. DIR. Baldwin moved
to substitute that a committee of three be ap-
pointed to raise the amount. As amended
the report and recommendations were
adopted. The chair appointed on the COM
mittee B. H. Stinemetz, Zephaniah Jones,
and Rev. l.. T. Weiderman.
The North Capitol Church property is val
ued at about S35, 900 and is mortgaged to the
amount of $40, 900, but no trouble is antici-
pated in raising the additional amount.
There were present last night, besides the
officers, Rev. C. W. Baldwin, Rev. C. L. Pate,

ENGINEER RICHARDS REPORT.

ENGINEER RICHARDS REPORT.
Engineer w. P. Richards submitted his an
nual report yesterday to the Engineer Com
missioner. He says operations have been
mainly upon the preparation of plans for a
permanent system OF highways under the act
of March. 1898. and In arranging for carrying
out the provisions of the act of 1888. The
plans were required to be prepared in sec
tions-the first to be disposed OF includes the
most irregular groups OF subdivisions, such
as LIE Droit Park and Meridian Hill none of
them conforming to the city plan in many re-
spects. small map was prepared, showing
the present highways and the proposed new
streets. After approval these maps will be
bound, with index and explanations, and
then delivered for record.
Street nomenclature. as ordered by the
Commissioners under the subdivision act OF
1888, is recommended as the system for block
numbering for the suburban parts of the
northeast, which is made the second section.
Suggestions have been offered. Mr.. Rich
ards says, for doing away with the naming of
subdivisions and the multiplying of block
numbers, but he makes the suggestion that a
start be made at Florida ayenne, between
North Capitol and First streets west, ,,with.the
number 1900. running north with consecutive
numbers to the District line and then at
Second street running as in the other case,
and so on.
Barry Farm is named as the most irregular
and most troublesome subdivision in the Dis
trict.
Charles f. Harper, an additional private of
the Metropolitan police force, yesterday ten
dered his resignation, TO take effect at once.
His commission was for three years, from
January 19, 1894.
Barry Buckley, second vice president of the
University Club, obtained renewal yeeter-
day OF the retail licensed required by the club
under the excise law.
