 Upon thinking the matter over care fully, Aunt Martha found Matilda was right, and she shouldered the whole blame, and was further humiliated by having to make due acknowledgment to the girl, who, in the depth of her seEse of wronFed innocence, was sGtIrstiHs her apron with tears. After fully atom ing for her injustice Aunt Martha left the kitchen to Matilda, with the assur- ance that she would trust everything to her in the future.
 The soothing hand of time gradually healed over the terrible wound to Aunt Martha's self-esteem, but she never forgot her awful mistake, and regarded the slightest allusion to it with severe ly silent disapproval.-Chicago Satur- dey Evening Herald.

 The first taste had queer effect on the whole company. Some dropped their spoons and raised their napkins, some paused with perpleNed faces, and others made brave effort to go on with the pudding. Then Aunt Martha her self tasted, then she smelled, then glancing wildly about, she cried: "Land sakesi What is it? Do you find anything wrong with the puddiEg?"
 There was no concealing the fact that they did, but no one had the courage to make rerly. Their looks were enough, however. and without further inquiry Aunt Martha made bolt for the pantry, from whence q moment later came the agoniz;ng exclamation: ''Forevermore! n haven't gone and pat machine oil in the sauce instead of lemon cNtract!"

THICK -SOLED BOOTS
Some with Three, Some with Five SoIes, Worn by MGrketmen
 and Others.

The description double-soled would doubtless convey to most minds the idea of the thickest-soled shoe or boot there is, but, as a matter of fact, there are made boots with five soles, making al- together a sole an inch or more in thick ness. Such boots are worn by market men, as, for instance, in Fulton fish market in this city.
 There the floor in business hours is al- ways wet. Great quantities of fish are constantly being handled. Excepting those frozen in winter, the fishes that come in boxes are packed in ice. They are always packing fishes here for ship meEt to the great number of interior points, away from the coast, that draw their supplies of saltwater fishes, and frcsh-water fishes, too, for that mat ter, from New York, and the fishes shipped are packed in ice. They seem to be forever chopping ice here, and there are fragments of ice scattered around and melting, and there's con- stant dripping, more or less, from the many ice-packed boxes handled; and they're always washing down some where to keep the market clean. So that in business hours the floor is always wet
 The marketman moves about for hours CT the wet floor and to keep his feet dry he wears, it may be, rubber boots or the fiye-soled marketman's boot, whose sole is thick enough to raise his feet clear off the foor sufficiently to keep them dry. Into the bootleg, convenient place to carry it, he tucks, when it is not in use, the handle of the hatchet which he uses in opening or mailing up boxes of fish.
 There is a three-soled boot that is sometimes worn by bookkeepers in the market, who might have occasion to ket floor to look after receipts and shipments. Five-soled and three-soled boots are worn also more or less by snackmen and by men on shore in va- rious occupations besides marketmen. They are worn by men working in big refrigerators and in cold storage ware houses, and in abattoirs. Truckmen wal tLl lGS-SOlGO UCOlS III NIHleE, put ting them or in November and wearing them til spring, to protect their feet from rain and slush and snow.
 As compared with shoes and boots of 'he ordinary kinds, the number of three-soled boots sold is small; but such boots are, nevertheless. articles of reg ular and steady use.-N. Y. Sun.

GOOD STORY SPOILED.


It is a painful thing spoil a good
story. Few things are more distressing
Than to glance over the columns Of a
contemporary and find its most at
tTactive tale, its most interesting news
lacking the essential. element of truth.
But We must take things as they are
and not as we would have them.
In its thrilling account of the Ma
tional Guard meeting ct the armory,
the Tribune's descriptive and narrative
powers were taxed to their fullest
capacity. It told of an address by
Lieutenant Gibbs, of how he talked
to the officers association on active
service and fairly outdid itself in
Telling what a large crowd was pres
ent to hear the interesting talk on
active service given by Lieutenant
Gibbs, late of battery A."
The cold, Unfeeling truth Of the mat
ter is that Lieutenant Gibbs wasn't at
the meeting and made 10 talk at all
HAD he been there he might have
talked; had he talked the audience
might have heard him; mad they heard
him they might have been interested
for it was an interesting topic that he
did not discuss at the armory meeting.
Fiction and Iancy do well enough IN
the editorial columns Of our contem-
porary, but it is bad taste to editorial
ize all over the paper

lance should not deter Americans from

WHAT RUSKIN EARNED.

John Ruskin died Sunday al his home
at Brentwood. where he had been rest
ing in his old age after an active and
useful career For some fnexplicable
reason the news failed TO come over
the wires. the first intimation of his
death having been printed in yester-
days morning papers.
tt is fitting. in view Of what Ruskin
has done for the world that tributes
of respect and gratitude should be laid
beside the monument Ct his fame. His
services to mankind were manifold. the
greatest of which. perhaps. were his
revelations of the beauties Of nature.
He was a scholar, an essayist Of tie
first rank a master of the written Ian
gUage. No matter what may become
Of his theories. the impression he has
left upon the reading. thinking world
IS doubtless deeper than that of any
English writer of the century.
He was critic whose ideals have
net found universal favor. but he never
pretended to follow established rules or
pau6ar 10 conventional tastes He
wrote as he felt, described things as he
saw them. suggested reforms that he
believed in. praised that which pleased
his fancy He wasn't a hypocTite. His
mission wasn't TO satisfy the exactions
of the public OF TO hold up TO admira-
ton the acknowledged ideals Of art
He was too original fen that-and too
partisan. There was little Of the phil
og3pher. but much of the enthusiast
about RusLin. He advocated whatever
he believed with zeal. fire. an ear
neStness that studs his style with dia-
uonds. He repudiated and rejected
what he dislibed and disbelieved with
a vehemence which made him enemies
and caused him 20 be Misunderstood by
many whose sentiments were friendly
But Buskin's writings are so full of
fruit and fragrance that one is
charmed with the perdsal, while their
stimulating incentive TO thought makes
the acquaintance useful as wen as
pleasant
1t was John Ruslin who first eN-
planned art to the common people. who
introduced it TO tie general public. He
explained the RANK ard relative i'm
portance o. the artist in the scheme Of
civilization. Ee Gragged the masters
To the Isht as public iaterest. He has
done almost as much for literature. HIS
poetry however does mes reach the
ss&ture OF his prose. which covers a
wide range Of expression and style
