RUSKiN'S ART TREASURES.

Thirty of Th9m Now at H:anewood
 Valued at sl50.0oO.
 To speak of John Ruskin's art treas. ures is to think of Turner The ex- Amples by this master at Brantwood are not now so many as they onee were, in large part because of his gen. erous gifts to Oxford and Cambridge. to say nothing of the famous Loire series which. complete. he gave to the Oxford galleries To the university towns h. gave, fer instance, several beautiful water colors of Venice, of the junction of the Greta and the Tees which lie regarded as one of the very best of the Yorkshire series, the nag nifeent 9Riehmsnd. YeHlzs, now in the Fitzwilliam Museum, and others. Again, instead of remaining in his possession, The Slayer, given to him by his father about the time of his majority, is now in America. Even today, however, the thirty or so Fur her water eolors al Brentwood, be- side many sketches, each one chosen with view to some particular beauty. or characteristic, constitute one of the finest collections of the kind owned by an individual They enable us to follow the development of the artist from 1792, when as a lad of II he painted his own portrait, through his various significant phases, onward to the early forties, when he shaped some of the most wonder-proVoking and ex- quisite of his creations A value of something like f3O,0o0 has been put upon the assemblage by one who has recently been at Brentwood, but, in truth, linked so closely as they are to Ruskin's life-work, while they remain together they are invaluable. Twenty two years ago MT. Ruskin exhibited his Turner's in Bond street. The epi- logue to this fascinating notes is dated Brentwood, 10th May, 1873, and after ward comes this simple and beautiful tribute: Being my fathers birthday who, though as aforesaid, he sometimes would not give me this or that-yet gave me not only all these drawings, but Brantwood-and all else.

THE GATES OF GIBRALTAR.
Interesting Ceremony of Locking Them
 at sundown.

Interesting Ceremony of Locking Them
 at Shutdown.
 Quite the favorite sight at Gibraltar is the daily procession at aHndown for the locking of the town gates. The keeper oGthe keys, looking very like a prisoner despite his uniform, marches through the town in the center of a military guard, preceded by a regi- mental band. which plays inspiring fa- miIiar tunes. The keys, of enormous size, are borne a1oft before him as an outward and visible emblem of the vigilance Of Britain in guarding her prime military treasure. On arriving at the gates. the guards salute, the martial strains strike up with redou- bled peai of triumph. while the great doors slowly swing to, and are solemn ly locked for the night Then right about turn,and the procession marches back to the convent to deposit the keys in the governors keeping, conveying by it's passage an assurance to the pee. pie and garrison that they may rest in peace. Once the gates are shut it were easier for camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for any unauthor- ized person to go into Gibraltar Even a belated officer returning from pig sticking beyond the lines would be con- fronted by so many formalities and the necessity of inconyeniencing so high personages that he would probably prefer to encounter the discomfort of a Spanish inn without.

 Great Play.

Two tragedies were given by the sa1anese players at the Boston theater recently and the author of both-Ka- wakami-p1ayed the leading part in each. Japanese playwrights are eer- tainly versatile, and when the amount of physical labor involved in these ira gedies is considered, they cannot be said to be afraid of hard work, says the Boston Herald. The Japanese idea or The Merchant of Venice, which the author attempts to show in "Sairoku" and in which he plays the name part, proved hardly as entertaining as might be expected. It might be called Weari- some in places, owing to the protraeted dialogue and insufficient pantomime to clearly indicate what the people were talking about. The main features of the play arc copied, with some changes Thus the Jewish miser becomes a Ja. panese miserly fisherman, the pound Of flesh is three square inches, to be cut off nearest the heart of the lover or n1iser's daughter. who has borrow e 5000 rio under the pledge of flesh 'fei6ure; and an older daughter is s=' Portia who becomes the judge and (. {as tho lovers life. The play ends E-Dpt1y in the repentance of siroku, though n8t before the tragic element is devolXed in the suicide of the young er daughter. The shorter play that opened the bill ard is called Scarlet Snow" is based oh events following the visit of Commodore Perry in Japan in 1853, and the tragic fate of Minister Tairo Ramon in consequence of his signing treaty in opposition to the wishes of the exclusion party. The hand-to-hand fighting that comprises almost the entire second act and that reddens the deep snow with blood gives the name to the play, and is 8 study of muscular realism on the stage The play is viyen entirely by the men, but in "siroku' two ladies of the com- pany, Sada Yaceo and Mikami. give de- lightfu1 performances as the two daughters.

Photographed Up one Flight.

That New York is a big city which the stranger seldom learns very well, was quite fercibly impressed upon Q certain well known Californian a few days ago. He was charging about in the business district ara suddenly re- membered that he wanted to telegraph to a friend whose offices are at 195 Broadway. The Californian dashed into the nearest telegraph office, wrote out his dispateh, and covering it with a coin, passed it through the wicket to the receiver The receiver smiled What is the matter?" demanded the Californian. "Why this is 195 Broad way" said the receiver, sand your man is up just one flight of stairs. There was :. confused period that lasted about a second, and when the Califor- nian got his nerve back he calmly said: T know that. Let it go anyway. guess can telegraph across this room or this counter if I want to and have the money. We do that thing out in California every day for a joke
 The receiver may have been bluffed, but as receivers go they are hard to impress.-San Francisco Chronicle.
