RuskIN HIS OWN PUBLISHER.
Believed an Author Was Entitled
to the Profits of His Work.

DcIicveu an hutnOr was EntitIeu
To the Profits of His Work.
Review of Reviews: 1t is well known
that Mr.. Ruskin was his own publish
er for many years, but the details of
the concern are not generally known.
There was no special friction between
the Messrs. Smith a. Elder and the au-
thor of Modern Painters" which led
TO the change. 1t was q matter of
principle, far deeper than could pos
sibiy be involved in a passing dispute.
II was simply that the author felt
that the men who actually
produced books did not get
their proper share of the rewards
and that the public did not get the
fun value of their outlay. And the rea-
son, he felt, was that too great a pro-
portion was swallowed up in the
transit from author to public. There
Tore II seemed clear hat the remedy
should be found in the establishment
of closer contact between writer and
reader. Here was his problem and he
resolved to experiment.
fortunately Mr.. Ruskin had discov-
cred a man after his own heart on
whom he could rely for help. This
nan was a workingman student he
had met in his drawing class at Great
Ormond street in whom he thought
he saw possibilities OF better work. IL,
had at once taken him in hand and
later business Developments have
shown the instinct to have been &
right one. Ii was in 1854 that tn,
professor and his future publisher
first met and during the three sue
ceeding years their relationship was
OF the closest kind. George Allen was
taught engraving and etching by Mr.
lie keuX, who had done some eNquis
lite work for Mr.. Ruskin, and ther
some mezzotone instruction VAS giveI
by Thomas Lupton, who had been en-
gravcr TO Turner.
Having obtained his engraver ant
otherwise useful man, the next thin:
was to get his printing press an
make arrangements for binding
These were we'll established in tn.
beautiful and quiet village of Orping
ton, in Kent. and the master person
ally presided over the works for sew
eral years. 1t was n gigantic under
taking and the critics laughed AT In
publishing business planted in tn
middle of n country field" but it be
came a phenomenal success.

ACTIVITY OF BURGHERS.
Threatened TO Go Home Unless Ac,
lively Employed.

Threatened TO Go Home Unless Ac,
lively Employed.
Bloemfontein, Wednesday,, April II
According to information received
here the Boer activity eastward of the
railroad and in proximity to the Dor
der is due largely to the fact that
Kruger and Steyn found they were
unable to keep their forces together
in inactivity, the burghers declaring
they were unwilling to remain with
the commands unless actively EN-
ployed, as they were convinced the
British game was a waiting me-. II
is believed the Boer movement was
originally designed to oblige Roberts
to weaken his forces at Bloemfonteir
inorder to protect the railroad, wher
the Beers would have attempted tC
recapture the capital.
The burghers are evidently igno
rant of the enormous force Robert:
has at his disposal. Advices from IA
rec Siding say the Beers are busily
e~ntrenching a position east of Brand
fort, running parallel with the rail
road, while still strongly holding the
Waterfall drift waterworks.

A HINT FOR SPRING.
When Housekeepers Are Frightening
the Iuferiors of Their Homa.

When Housekeepers Are Frightening
the Interiors of Their Homes.
Now that the backbone of this re-
markable winter is broken, housekeep-
ers are remarking the dingy look of the
home interior. The question Of new
wall coverings is up. Paper is dear
and short lived; kalsomines are dirty
and scaly; paint is costly. The use Of
such a cement as Alabastine, for in
stance, will solve the problem. This
admirable wall coating Is clean, pure
and wholesome. 1t can be put on with
no trouble by anyone; there is choice
of many beautiful tints; and 1t is long
lasting.
