Ruskin Said Somo Severe Things About
 It-His Denunciation.
 The extensive alterations which are proceeding at the Atheneum club, and which include the addition of a story to it's height, have been thought in more than one quarter to be likely to spoil the effect of the beautiful frieze, modelled after the Greek, that runs around the top of the building as orig ina1ly designed, says the London News. There is, however, some misapprehen- sion as to whether this is the club dec eration which has won the singular fame Of being denounced by MT. Rus kin, for, in point of fact, it was not the Atheneum at the corner of Pall Mall and Waterloo place that the great art critic had in mind. but a service" club further along Pall Mall. The de- nunciation was made in the second of MT. Ruskin's lectures on architecture, delivered in Edinburgh as long as the November of 1858.

How Women Dress in Siberia.

Sommon-elass women in Siberia wear shawls or kerchiefs on their heads while the rich women wear no head covering whatever. A traveller recent ly returned from that part of the world says that Russian woman who is otherwise trim and modern in dress will go about with her hair dish eveled to the point of the ludicrous. Less attention is paid to the head and feet than to other parts of their toilet. Tt is odd enough to see them" says this same writer, "defying dripping decks and muddy roads in the thinnest of heelless slippers, while the breezes play havoc with the loose tresses of their hair. Their shirtwaist is fer- mine terror, with broad turnover collar, fancy cuffs, cotton bows, many buttons and numerous frills, in place os the natty American shirtwaist"

4 Quarantine Against Cows.

A curious contest is going on in Tam pa, Fla Residents of certain sections of the city want an exemption made of their part of the city so that cows may graze in the streets. Other residents do not want this, and the fight is a lively one, the city administration be- ing the sufferer. So many depredations have been made recently by cows run ming at large in the streets that the irate residents and owners of lawns and flower gardens have organized shotgun quarantine against the cows and declare that they are going to mur- der some of them if they are not kept locked up.

unfortunate Impression Which It Created
 Against an Innocent Boy.
 ''I received a valuable lesson in talk ing snap judgment the other day" said retail merchant to a New Or leans Times-D Democrat man. T had managed to get some paint on my hands from marking brush, and stepped into hotel where l am well known to wash it off. Before pro ceeding with the scrubbing I took off my ring, which, as you see, is rather a handsome solitaire, and hung it on the faucet. When I went away for got to put it on, and didn't observe the fact until quarter of an hour later, Win l was in the place of friend se,-- locks away. Of course, 'l'a'sis s.stk immediately, and just as T tes1 : there was no sign of the ring in tEe avatory. A porter happened to pass NEile I was searching, and he told me that he had seen one of the bell boys take ring from the faucet a moment or two before and at once slip out of the house by the back way He gave me the name of the boy, and 1 started instantly to raise an alarm As 1 went through the office I told the clerk in loud voice, audible to q dozen people standing around, that the boy had stolen my ring and I wanted him arrested on sight. Then I tore out and gave the same word to a couple of policemen and some people I knew in the adjacent shops Inside of ten minutes I made a pretty thor ough tour of the neighborhood, tell ing everybody to look out for the thief. Then I went to my store, hot and excited, and there stood the bell boy, with my ring in his hand. He had recognized it as my property. and came over at once to deliver it. Real ly,G cannot describe my modification and chagrin. Here l had branded the poor little chap as thief and spread broadcast story that I can never wholly recall. Nobody can say how long an unjust suspicion will attach to him in the neighborhood as conse- quence of my folly. 1 gave him $f0 and have done what I could to repair the mischief The lesson was one shall never forget"

Some Truth About Champagne.

There is more champagne drunk in one year than the champagne district produces in seven, but it is interesting to know which countries take most of the genuine article. Last year the champagne district exported 19,6SO,0 900 lters, valued at 91,327 ,552 francs. Eng land bought more than half CT the to- tai. Belgium followed a long way after with 2,77S,00O liters, Germany with 859,000 and the United States and Canada with 1,419,400 Hters. Russia was satisfied with 49S, 300 liters.

First Flag Pole on the Coast.


 On the highest ground of long, low hill distant about one mile to the vest ward of the little town of Bodega, in Western Sonoma county, Cal, there stands a tall, somewhat decrepit red wood flagstaff. This ancient-looking pole is about sixty feet in height, says the San Francisco Bulletin, is bent with age and exposure, and is slowly decaying. That plain, warped old red
 wood fagpole is the patriarch of all fagpoles not only in California. but on the entire Pacific slope. For it was the first erected to fly the banner of the Union when California and all oth- CT territory in the same latitude from the Pacific to the Rockies were taken possession of by the United States.

pnve woMrN SHOOT WELL

Boston Mass, February sj.-One of the hest descriptive stories of the life and characteristics of the South African Dutch That has been told in this country sincei the outbreak of hostilities between the Brit, ish and the Boers was related yesterday by Miss Alice Kellogg. [
 Miss Kellogg arrived in this country two weeks ago after three years stay in South Africa, and this makes her story anl up-to-date narrative. Miss Kellogg Is q, graduate of the class of 1894 of Wellesley and taught class in English in the Well Hngton university at Cape Town.
 ''Tlhere is no question:. said she, "that the Boers re outwardly a very religious people. They believe the Bible literally, and have not the slightest doubt that the world was made in six days. In their homes they have prayers at least twice day, and 1t must be admitted that they support their ministers in much better way financially than do the people of some more progressive countries; and these min isters, by the way are very influential fac- tors in the community life of the Boers, filllng almost the role of local popes .

THE GOLD FIELDS
 OF CAPE NOME

Apropos of the expected great rush in the spring to Cape Nome gold fields, descrip- tion of which has been published in these columns. anything relating to the place, and of what is going on there is of especial interest at this time. Last August the Rev. Royal L. Writ, a representative of the Alaska Missions under the auspices Of the Congregational church. visited Cape Nome for the purpose of making arrange ments to establish Christian church, hos pital, library, and reading, rooms for the benefit of the miners. He found them very anxious for him to remain with them, and they accordingly contributed generously of their money to help him in carrying out his designs. MT. Wirt and his family con- cluded to face the perils of an arctic winter to carry on their great work.
 Letters written home to relatives tell of his arrival there, and some of his interest," ing experiences up to the time of the leav- ing of the last ship before freezing Of Boring sea. In one of these letters he says:
 "After my arrival at Anvil City was asked if I wished to undertake long tramp out to the hills to see for myself the exact truth concerning the reported richness of the placers. I was warned that it would be an exceedingly hard trip, but I assured my guide, was no novice at that sort of thing, and began drawing on the mutlocks he had kindly provided. At o'clock we started, and for four miles walked over the tundra, a thick growth of soft spongy moss. With ordinary boots this would have been almost impossible, but with our light mutt locks we could jump from tuft to tuft, and so keep out of the bog gJholes. There were five in our party, two old miners acting as guides After reaching the foothills the walking became better, though the tundra covers everything, even the. hills, except along the edges of streams. There are no trees fl, this whole region. The landscape E absolutely barren of vegetation other

 If possible 1t is well to have the bag that swings from platform or "ceiling." If that is not possible get "double-ender'- one that fastens from floor to ceiling.
