GREEK ART ON GREEK SOIL.
Professor Hoppin's Latest Book.
(From the Churchman,)


tFrom the Churchman.)
Prof. Hoppin's Greek Art on Greek
SoiP' is delightful in manner and sub
stance. 1t was written, like Jowett's
Plato or Walter Paters "Greek
Art with comprehension, the compre-
hension that comes from long acuuain-
lance and full sympathy with the sub
ject matter. 1t has the marks of cul-
ture and of the insight that culture
gives. In this it is in happy contrast
to some of the theses on classical sub
Jects written from the German stand
point, which are either mass of unre-
lated facts, or bound together by a
mechanical theory of the development
of Hellenic civilization. The author
holds that "the Greek sense of beauty
was a thoughtful quality of a thought
full people" This conception, as far re-
moved from the spirit of dilletanteism
as it is from the spirit of the antiquary,
gives his work a tone of dignified sin
certify.
The only safe guide in writing on
Greek art is love for the beautiful,
and a matured Judgment of what an
embodiment of the beautiful really is
Then, one can feel instinctively what
their art and mythology meant to the
Greeks Judgment of the outside of
things may enable a man to refer a
given object to a certain period or even
to a certain artist but it does not touch
the real significance of the thing at all.
1t is no more than the special skill by
which a skilled tradesman judges his
wares from samples The truths it
discovers in art must be Interpreted by
a higher discrimination. Left to itself,
it drifts into the most ludicrous errors.
and is as irritating as the discussion of
antfquarians over really great pie
ture.
This quality of sympathetic insight
lends charm to Dr. Hoppin's itinerary
and TO his criticism. The reader feels
that he is listening to the talk of one
who knows, and knows because he
loves. 1t must not be supposed for an
instant that there is anything anna
flourish or merely artistic in either the
narrative or the criticism. On the con-
trary. the learning is thorough and adj
equate, but it is not a rude and undi-
gested mass shovelled into the mind by
six or seven years of work. 1t is the

LOTTERY STORY.

The interesting report is afloat that
the Louisiana lottery, which has been
in existence in Honduras since the
summer of 1892, is about to so out of
lottery in that country has been far
from remunerative. In fact, if the re-
lieved, the losses have been so great
as to warrant the instant dissolution
of the corporation. 1t seems that the
Honduras government has been exor-
bitant in its taxes, while at the same
time its citizens have insisted that
more prizes be distributed than charac-
terized the affairs of the institution
when it had it's home in New Orleans.
Thus between fighting the government
in various and divers ways, as it has
had to do, and at the end of each year
find itself loser, there is no wonder that
it's proprietors conceived the brilliant
scheme of quitting the field. 1t is said
that there are agents of the concern
now in the State of Nevada, canvassing
the ntiment Of that commonwealth,
with the end in view of submitting the
question of establishing a lottery there
under the auspices of the government
to the people at the next general cleo
ton. Dan Stuart, it is whispered
about, is the agent of the lottery, and,
as the story further goes, has written
to the projectors, who are now at New
Orleans, that he thinks there will be no
difficulty in accomplishing the desired
purpose--that is, constitutional pro-
vision permitting a lottery, to have a
twenty-five years lease Of life.
After what Nevada has done there
would be nothing surprising in the es-
Establishment Of lottery by the State.

TWO AT A BIRTH.

In the town of b party feeling
waxed hot and relentless at a general
election. The two parties were so
equal in numbers that the variation of
a single vote one way or another might
be a matter of most serious conse-
quence. OF course on both sides sharp
eyes were open and watehful. A young
man came up to the polling booth on
election day and offered his vote. 1t
was his first appearance in the charac-
ter of an eleetor. He had just got mar
risd and he had the independence to

fewer, and when they are employed the
unusual shape. The narrow, high puffs
shown in this picture answer the pur-
pose nicely, being quite as unlike the
late dropping full puffs as are many Of
the more involved Celebrations. This
gown was biscuit colored cashmere, and
green velvet ribbon trimmed the skirt
and furnished the belt. In the bodice
the goods was gathered from the Shout
ders and caught up in the center to
form novel pair of loops. A yoke Of
the dress material was almost hidden
with lace, and was topped by a high
collar that was thickly ornamented
with bead work. Just at present cash
mere is very fashionable fabric, a
with small pin money, as it is usually
highly seryiceable.
The most startling effects in stock
ings and slippers for house wear are
now sought after, and with Fashionable
exquisites slippers are giving way to a
high shoe. The new idea is that it Is
wrong to leave the ankle unsupported
Perhaps last winters skating had
something to do with this, but what
ever caused it, the society girl has
rushed into high shoes, Hers reach at
least half way to the knee, are made
of silk, satin, brocade or glove kid, and
they lace. These shoes may match or
contrast with the gown, and the stock
ing, which of course does not show as
when slipper is worn, usually con-
trasts. The fancy will hardly spread
far but if you go in for such notions,
here are points for your guidance.

FASHION NOTES.


The newest dressy bodices into which
tulle enters have fluffy sleeves which
at the shoulders seem in rear view like
pair of cupid's wings. Taking this
appearance as a. cue, one daring wo-
man surprised her friends with gown
that had a pair of little gray wings set
on the back, as part of the sleeves, and
which served to emphasize the cupid
suggestion. The wings were gray,
spangled with blue, and the gown was
gray chiffon over bright blue satin.
While shoulder Celebrations are rarely
as odd as these, they are in great va
rlety and in many cases show no little
ingenuity. Puffs grow smaller and

Isaac Wilbur, Of Little Compton, Rhode
Island, has the largest poultry farm in

his fowls on the colony plan, housing
about forty in house 8x10 or SKIP feet

feet apart, set out in long rows over
the gently sloping fields. He has one
hundred of these houses, scattered over
three or four fields. The food is loaded
into a low wagon, which is driven about
to each house in turn, the attendant
feeding as he goes; at the afternoon
feeding the eggs are, collected. The
fowls are fed twice a day. The morn

Chicago taxpayers believe they have
saved something like $2,00O000 by the
decision Of the United States Supreme
court sustaining the citys right to open
streets across railroad tracks at the
nominal compensation to the railroad
company of ST.. Had the railroads won,
the city would have to assess, the prop
erty owners for the damages claimed
by the railroads for extending over 200
streets across the various railroad
tracks, the average amount of damages
claimed for each crossing being $4,000
The decision appears to bear harshly on
the railroads. In their claims they de-
1nanded the market value of the land
for public thoroughfares, and asked for
damages because they would have to
plank the tracks, drain the side cross
ings, construct approaches for the
crossings, erect gates, and pay wages

majority of five in tho Legislature on Joint

only one in doubt, and that It's two Iepresen.
tGtives have been put in the Democratic or

pleted.
Counting the two doubtful representatives
from summit county rs Democrats, the House
stands - Republicans and 81 democrats. The
only one in dispute is Marion county, and the
Republicans claim that the Senate stands 10
Democrats and IL Republicans. This makes
the Legislature consist of ,5 Republicans and
20 Democrats, with majority OF five on 'oint
ballot for United States senator.
Chairman McConville still maintains that
the Democrats have elected majority in the
Legislature. He contests the Republican claim
20 Noble and Wood counties and to the Marion

lature 70 Democrats TO ~ Republicans ON Joint

COMMITTEES.
The recount shows that Mr. Mason had
more votes than Fred !. Dana, who, according
70 the tally Of the wardens ana clerks of the
two districts. was elected.
Mr.. Dana was in the office of the board Of
ranvassers and registration shortly after the
result was made known, and seemed 10 lie
considerably disappointed at the result He
wanted. to know what steps he should take TO
challenge the machine result and have
another count. Commissioner Blodgett
was not quite sure about tho matter,
but he gave him the best information he had
at hand.
The mistake in the count was made in the
second district. and there was discrepancy
of nearly hundred votes i'm the ward room
count and the result shown by the machine.
According To che official count Mr.. Mason
defeated Mr.. Dana by four votes. The totals
were Dana 66s and lMason 5'2. There were
several places where the ward officers made
miscounts. but none Of them, with the excep
tion of the single place noted, made any
difference TO the result already announced.
In the vote for school committee only one
defective ballo. was cast, and but l3 blank or
defective ballots for mayor in the whole ward
This showed unusual care on the part of the
