n.is69 Mr.. Clark made his first trip
to Europe, and he then began TO give
his first serious attention to art. He
wanted to own some Of the worlds
great pictures, but he felt he did not
know enough TO buy them on his own
judgment. Therefore, as he had stud
led mining engineering to enable him
TO know what mines 10 buy, so he be-
gan to study art that he might know
what pictures to buy. Every year after
that up to the present has found him at
some time or another in the art centres
of Europe.
At the end of seven years he felt that
he knew enough art 10 buy his first pic
ture. This was a canvas by Lafont
called "The Difiicalt Question" Dur
ing the II years thst have followed
since that first purchase Mr.. Clark has
acquired something like 60 pictures by
famous artists. In his collection are
one by Rousseau, called n ''Landscap,
in Picardie;" two landscapes by Millet,
Failing Leaves" aud ''rhe Shepherds
Call TO the Cows large landscape,
Harvest Scenes in Brittany" by the
peasant artist, L'Hermitte; two by CO.
rot, "fhe Bacchanten and "a Land
scape in Brittany" two by Daubingny,
two by De la Croix, two by Benellurie,
one by Zelm and three by Cain. One
of the last called "The Weary Way
farers." was borrowed last year by the
artist to be exhibited in the Paris salon
in 1897. The other two by Cain are
Twilight in Paris" and The Lost
Rogue The collection represents an
outlay of nearly $4,000.

condition OF the hospital at Camp
Powers made It Of very great impor-
tance that q number Of the critically
sick should be removed to some place
where they could be cared for
under more favorable circumstances.
The City Hospital was ready and
anxious to do all In lts power for the
relief Of the boys In blue, many Of
whom were too sick to be moved any
great distance from the camp. The
problem. however. was to provide ac-
commodations. The main part Of the
hospital was largely filled with tho
regular patients. II IL only Z few
weeks since the wing was vacated, and
only partial beginning had been
made in putting 4 into shape for hos
pital uses. Necessity. however. ac-
compaishes wonders. When ofiicials Of
the staff were told In conference with
Adjutant General Richards and Sur
geon O'Neil. Saturday morning. Of the
urgent necessity for the immediate re-
moval of a number OF the worst cases
at the camp. prompt efforts were put
forth to provide for their accOmo<ia-
tion. 1t was decided that the whole
upper floor Of the wing should be given
up to the purpose. thus bringing all of
thQso pQ vI,R1tp 81
general character together, and, also
isolating them from the other patients
OF the hospital. The work Of prepara-
tion was under pressure. Every call
was promptly responded to. Carpen-
ters and plumbers were put to work,
extra help engaged. and with the
assistance Of General Richards, the
necessary beds were provided for this
part Of the hospital. and by eigh:
o'clock all of them were occupied. An
officer Of the hospital had also driven
into the country and provided for an
ample supply OF fresh milk
The weather conditions We're perfect
for moving the men, who were brought
from the camp to the hospital in
knowlto0's ambulance. and. although
all Of them were critically sick, none
OF them seemed to suffer any in effects
from the change. Saturday night tha
average temperature of these men
was 105 degrees and a number of them
were delirious. Doctors Randall and
Clement OF the hospital staff were in
attendance and everything that care
and good nursing could do for the men
was done. Sunday morning the tenn
peratures of nearly all Of them had
fallen from two to three degrees and
the outlook was more, favorable.
There are now II soldiers in this
part Of the hospital They are. Will

If necessity demands all possible
accommodations will be made for others
as the directors are unanimous in the
determination to do all in their power
for the relief Of the sick soldiers.
While our City Hospital is neither an
old or large one. it has had a record
for efficiency since it was started of
which any institution of this char
acter might we'll feel proud, and no eff
forts will be spared by it's devoted

In the Shame-Faced Land.

The seclusion of women in Korea is
carried to the utmost limit. Ladies
out of doors wear green mantle
which covers the whole countenance
expect the eyes. Nor do they willing
ly let even their eyes be seen and to
avoid meeting a man they will turn
into the house nearest OF hand.
Travellers recount that the women are
taught to shun the opposite sex from
their earliest girlhood. They are
even exhorted to talk as little as may
be to their own husbands. What is
still more extraordinary is the innate
modesty of the men. This sentiment
implies them to work in jackets and
trousers in the hottest weather; while
the richer classes use kind of bamboo
framework to keep the clothes, other
wise unbearable, from contact with

pool Of Gibeon. The time hangs heavily
on their hands. One army proposes game
of sword-fencing. Nothing could be more
healthful and innocent. The other army
accepts the challenge. Twelve men against
twelve men, the sport opens. But some
thing went adversely. Perhaps one of the
swordsmen gbt an unlucky clip, or in some
way had bis ire aroused and that which
opened in sportfulness ended in violence,
each one taking his contestant by the hair,
ana tnen with the sword thrusting him in
the side; so that which opened in innocent
1un ended In the massacre of all the twen-
ty-four sportsmen. Was there ever n bet

is true now, that that which is innocent
may be made destructive?

Tasteful Costume in stonc-Gray.

Tasteful Costume in Stonc-Gray.
The popular fancy for cloth is exem-
plified (see large picture) in stone
gray tastefully trimmed with black
velvet, worn with hat of gray and
black, and gray gloves. The waist,
which makes grateful change from
the blouse, is made over fitted lin
ing that closes at the centre-front and
includes smooth-ftting under-arm
cores. The handsome vest, which is
of velvet embroidered with jet, is at
tached to the lining at the right side
and hooks over onto the left beneath
the cloth front which is invisibly
hooked into place. The bretelles,
collar and belt are all of velvet made
over stiff foundations, and the collar
closes at the left side where it is 6n-
ished by frills of black lace. The
sleeves are two-seamed and snug to
the shoulder where they are finished
with small puffs. They are cut in
square tabs at the wrists and edged
with narrow velvet bands, while frills
of lace fall over the hands. The fare
skirt delineates one of the latest styles,
and one that will be popular during
the coming season. The trimming,
which is velvet to match the bodice, is
cut in bias bands and stitched along
each edge.
The upper portion, or deep yoke, is
shaped with . front gore that fits
closely to the figure, its sides being

Chronic Rheumatism.

From, the Industrial Netos, Jackson, Mich.
The subject of this sketch Is fifty-six
years of age, and actively engaged in farm
ing. When seventeen years old he hurt his
shoulder and q few years after commenced
to have rheumatic pains in it. On taking
slight cold or the least strain. sometimes
without any apparent cause whatever, the
trouble would start and he would suffer the
most excruciating pains.
He suffered for over thirty years, and the
last decade has suffered so much that he
was unable to do any work. To this the fre-
quent occurrences Of dizzy spells were add
ed, making him almost a helpless invalid.
