Ruskin's Handwriting.

The Strand Magazine prints some fac
SMILES of the handwriting of John Rus
kin, including extracts from letters IL
lustrated with offhand sketches. The
handwriting may not show spontaneity,
generosity and all the other traits which
the expert analyst claims to find, but 1t
is certainly characteristic and expressive.
Possibly it is to be attributed to the ar
tistic and expressive. Possibly it is to
be attributed to the artistic tempera-
ment that varies SO much from time to
time. sometimes being beautifully dis
tinct and again barely legible. A re-
markable specimen is taken from let
ter written at the age of g., inscribed
with minute care, and in stiff but not
ungraceful outlines, some Of the capitals
and figures being drawn with studied
ornamentation. Springfield Republic

Killing the Fox.

We had hunted up and down the rides
for the greater part Of a day, and finally,
with the scent at its hottest, we seemed
to have lost the fox in the neighborhood
of little cottage. with a pigsty tackled
on to it. The hounds were giving tongue
around the pigsty, while its occupants
protested with no less noise The hub
bub was tremendous and the tuEault in
creased tenfold when the second whip
climbed the sty palings and began to
search the tenement for the missing fox.
There was no sign of him. Still the
hounds kept giving tongue around the
dwelling as if the fox were there. The
whip, after drawing the pigsty blank,
knocked at the cottage door and, receiv-
ing no answer, entered. The sole inmate
was bedridden old woman, who pro-
tested with vehemence equal to the pigs
against this invasion of her privacy,
adding that no fox could possibly have
come in, for the door had not been open
ed since her grandson had gone out to
work in the merning.
The man in pink was about to retire
with apologies when bold hound burst
in through the door, with terrible
burst of melody, He stopped to ask no
questions of the poor old lady, but went
under the bed like tiger. More hounds
dashed in; there was a scufae and a
worry under the bed, shrieks from the
poor old woman that lay on it, furious
death notes of the hounds-and in a
second or two all was over. 1t took a
deal of silver and consolation to make
the lady realize that the hounds had not
killed her as we'll as the fox. She still
protested solemnly that the fox could
not have entered the cottage because the
door had been shut all the time, but it
was obvious enough, from the sootiness
of the old fellows coat, that his way in
had been, not through the door, but
down the chimney. Macmillan s Maya

Mans Sixth Sense.

There is every reason to believe that
man was once vastly superior to his
present self, :" said Claude Fales Wright,
the theosophist, in New York the other
day.
"You all have possibly heard the ex-
preston, which comes down from GEN.
turies, Frightened out of his seven
senses 1t is not ridiculous to believe
that man at one time had seven senses.
not now within our province to know.
It is possibly just as difficult to find out
as to teach person who has no sense
of music what music is You might
play and sing for such a person, but
without some intuitive knowledge of
harmonious sounds you could not make
him appreciate music. The main thing
for us to do is to get rid of old ideas if
we would learn. Socrates said that the
way to learn is to forget. If man tells
me something new, I do not doubt the
truth of it until have investigated it.
Ii we make up our minds that we cannot
do thing, then we will never do it,
intuitive qualities, which cannot be de-
fined. In man these qualities are often
strongly marked. You have noted the
peculiar influence which the presence Of
certain persons has upon you. Some
times one cannot think evil or good of
another in his presence without his
knowing it. This is sensitiveness to
which we are all more or less subject.
But we must not let this feeling control
us. We may have it and control it, and
this, then, constitutes the sixth sense.
1t is the living in the world and not be-
ing OF it-not giving up foolishly all
you have. 1t is evident that we are COM
ing to an appreciation of the sixth sense.
No doubt by philosophy we will recover
the senses, two Of which have been
temporarily dormant. "-Pittsburg Dis

millions of bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose of
manufacturing and selling laxative

KICKED THE BUCKET.
,HAT Is now A JAPANESE COM
MIrTED SUICIDE.
In the jail at Kspaa, Kauai-He had
Been Sentenced Lightly
for n Theft.

The steamer James Makee which
arrived last night brought particu-
lars of suicide at Kappa on We'd
nesday morning. Recently Jap
anese store was opened at Kappa,
Kauai, for the sale Of general mer-
chandise. A japanese was employ
ed as salesman. A few days ago
some money was missed from the
till and the Jap was suspected. He
was placed under arrest and on
Tuesday last was found guilty and
sentenced to six months imprison-
ment at hard labor. The man was
locked up in Kappa Jail. Yester-
day morning as the guard opened
the door to the cell, he was Mortified
to see the Jap suspended in the
doorway. The prisoner had hung
himself with his sash. The man
had first secured a bucket and stand
ing on it tied the sash to the rafter.
After securing the moose around his
neck, he kicked the bucket from
under. When found his toes
barely touched the floor. He had
been dead several hours. Owing to
the illness of the sheriff no inquest
was held, but when the James Ma
kee left yesterday morning at II
o'clock an inquest had been decided
on and the judge was sent for.
