A GE did not deal kindly with John
IA Ruskin, and in his closing years
the mind that conceived and laid
before the world the greatest works on
questions Of art known in any age be.
came dimmed, until he was only a
wreck of his former self. Strong and
vigorous in mind, the great writer did
not show signs of the approaching end
until 1886. 1t was at Oxford, while de-
IiVering a lecture, that the breaking
down Of his mind, active for so many
years, became apparent. IL the midst
of a lecture, which reflected ell the
depth Of his learning and the keen
ness OF his intelligence, he suddenly
became incoherent and lost the thread
Of his thought. "
From that time his life, in the seclu-
sion of his beloved Brentwood, Yves
filed with ibfaite pathos. "The Mas
ter" as 80 many Of his admireIs called.
him, was no longer the JJhn Ruskin.
of other years.
He from time to time became sub
jet to fits Of temporary insanity, and
was sometimes violent, breaking things
within his reach and refusing to allow
food to pass his lips. at times the
dark cloud would drift away from his
mind, and those about him would see
the venerable man as be once Yves.
But il was not to last. The fire Of
his intellect had ben extinguished, and
his greatness was destined to be of the
past. In all his strange moods he was
cared for tenderly by Mrs Lesern, the
adopted child of R1skin's cousin. To
This woman, who is 81 years old and
his only relative, Rlskin is supposed
to have given Brentwood and other
property.
Happy in his love of art and OF his
fellow men, Ruskin suffered more than
any one may know in his married life.
The crisis that lest to him the wife he
loved forms a remarkable chapter in
the mans life, that marks the unset.
fshness that cannot be judged by lit
tie standards. When Ruskin was
young and already famous he met one
evening at a dance in London 8 beau
titul girl. Pointing her cut to him.
the hostess told him he ought to marry
her. Loving the beautiful in art, as
he did, Ruskin was greatly attracted
by the young woman, ard the attrac-
tion proved mutual.
Ruskin married the young woman
he had met at the ball and gave her a
magnificent home. 30 charmed was
he with his wite's beauty that after a
time he brought Milleis, the painter
to his home and asked him to paint
Mrs. Ruskin's portrait.
Mllais was then 8 man Of superb
psysique, broad houldered, deep
chested and Of great strength. Ruskin
had no thought that his wife might be
irresistioly attracted by this fac speci
men Of manhood, who was handsome
and famous as well, or that his ;Fife's
beauty might win the love of MiIlais.

the Bank of Sicily. NJ. Palizollo, deputy
to the Italian parliament for Palermo, in
conjunction with the Duke of Verdura,
had bought shares to the value of 1,500,-
600 francs In the Italian General Navi-
CATION company with the money of the
bank.
Finding the shares going up in value,
he transferred them to his own account,
and, paying back to the bank the 1,500.-
600 francs, he appropriated the profits
Of the investment for his own benefit. BY

that Palizollo gave orders to man nam
