professorship at Cambridge. His whole
life has been spent lecturing and writing
upon subjects connected with his profess

Four years ago his private secretary
thought 1t about time for Mr.. Ruskin to
die, so wrote his biography. But Ruskin
didn't die. He is still alive seventy-ei eight
years Of fage, though no longer active with
bis pen. 1t is always Of interest to know the
attitude of such man upon social and
moral questions, such as the drink prob
lem, which this man was always ready TO
denounce. Here's one of John Ruskln's
most pointed utterahces upon this great
| evil:
Drunkenness is not only the cause Of
crime, 1t is crime; and the encouragement
to drunkenness, for the sake of profit on
the sale of drink, is certainly one Of the
most criminal methods OF assassination for
money ever adopted by the bravos Of any
age or country"

Fasten in the lower barrel-head

allow shelf to be fastened in the mid

the circle must be squared. When
this shelf is securely set in, fasten the
second barrel-head back again, and
tighten all the hoops. Now saw out a
generous-sized door in the centre of
the barrel. When it opens, the shelf
with its square side should stand across
she middle of the opening. Put hinges

Some years ago the body of young man
was found in the River Mersey, near Liver
pool. In his vest pocket was a piece OF
paper, on which was written; ASK not my
name. Let me rot. II is drink which has
brought me here" The coroner was so
touched with the tragedy that he published
a description OF the unfortunate youth, and
his farewell message to the world. At the

hundred letters from as many parents all
over the country making inquiries as to
certain marks of Identification that each
might know If 1t was or was not his boy

Alex Mcclure Of the Philadelphia Times
saws: "The two boldest men he knows are
John Wannamaker OF Philadelphia and
Tilly Haynes OF Boston. Both went TO New
York. Mr.. wannamaker took the Stewart
property, the finest dry goods store in the
world, and Mr.. Haynes took the great
Broadway Central Hotel, the largest in
the city. But dry rot had crept into both
of these magnificent properties and no one
dared to grasp them, until John Wanna
maker took one and Tilly Haynes the other.
A complete and unqualified success has
crowned the efforts OF both. Verify good
rt putation Is better than riches"
