Buden-Pcwc,, asun artist.

Baden-Powelrs mother was annoyed at
the habit her son had OF iholding his pen
ell or paint-brush with his left hand
One day Ruskin called when this doubt
was in her mind. and to him the question
was propounded. Without moments
hesitation, he counseled the mother to let
the boy draw in whatsoever manner he
listed, and together they went TO find the
young artist at his work. In the play
room they discovered one brother reading
hard at astronomy. and the other with a
penny box OF water colors painting for
dear life-with his left hand.
Now I'll show you how to paint a pic
ture," said Rusliin, and with a piece of
paper on the top of his hat and Baden
Powell's penny box OF paints at his side
he set to work. taking a little china vase
for a model. Both the vase and the pic
ture are now in the drawing-room of Mrs.
Baden-Powell's London house. The re-
suit Of Ruskin's advice was that Baden
Powell continued to draw with his left
hand, and now in making sketches he
finds no difficulty in drawing with his left
hand, and shading in at the same time

Modern Russian Fiction.

The short tale now seems paramount
in Russia, and is made to contain truths,
protests, longings-even hopes. koro-
lenkos stories mostly consist of simple
daily occurrences, scenes of peasant life,
detached incidents. He does not
strive to tit human lives to his or our
preconceived notions of what they ought
to be, nor does he seek to draw deduc-
tions. 1t is because her literature is
young and fearless, unhampered by clas-
sizes, unfettered by traditions, that Russia
has been able to enlarge her borders.
What was formerly accounted discord in
music is now harmony; what was for
merly outside the domain Of art now
engages painters and sculptors. Russian
writers have long ceased to bestow their
talents on scientificaly-a plots,
or waste ingenuity on the delineation Of
characters-abortive because cramped by
the artifcialities of convention To quote
the pregnant words Of another contempo-
rary Russian, Tchehov: 1T is said that
all man requires is six feet OF soil. But
truth to tell, six feet OF ground is the
requirements of corpse. not a human
being. = Man requires, not six feet
of soil. not plot of land, but the entire
terrestrial globe, the whole realm of
nature, wherein to develop all the capa-
bilties Of his untrammeled SOU"

Ruskin's Advice to Mothers.

You bring your girls up as if they were
meant for s1deboard ornaments and then
complain OF their frivolity, writes Ruskin.
Give then not only noble teachings, but
noble teachers, and give them the helm
which alone has sometimes done more
than all other influences-the help of wild
and fair nature. You cannot baptize them
rightly in inch-deep church fonts unless
you baptize them also in the sweet waters
which the great Law-Giver strikes forth
from the rocks Of your native land. You
cannot lead faithfully to those narrow.
axe-hewn church affairs, while the azure
affairs in heaven remain for You, without
inscription: affairs built, not to- but by an
unknown God.
DO you suppose that I wish to deceive
women into the idea that whenever they
pass they will tread upon herbs of sweet
scent. and that the rough ground will be
made smooth for them by depth of roses.
So surely as they believe, that they will
have, instead to walk on bitter herbs and
thorns. The path of a good women is
indeed strewn with flowers, but they rise
behind her feet, not before them"

nice change of shirt-waists and a few
skirts would get her through the summer,
she thought. When a woman gets that
idea into her head she usually falls Into a
craze about it. Mrs. John allowed herself
to be tempted by show windows. and in
vested in three shirt-waists at 80 cents.
They looked lovely, but were short in
the front. belts are SO dipped these days.
She flew higher next time and bought four
mark-doWns at a Broadway place and had
them altered. They cost IS apiece, but by
now she thought it best to get something
good. She felt a little anxious about
shrinkage, but the salesgirl said, ooh. dear,
nor and that is so comforting. It didn't
work a bit in the tub, though. After the
first wash she could not get her arms
through the sleeves, and the collar was
choking. Then she began to grow mad.
As a result she bought her own material
and Tired a woman to make them at a
dollar apiece. The woman finished them
in one fitting They didn't 1T, and the
maker said she could not rip them for
that money. Mrs. John and she had some
discussion, and the maker at a dollar
apiece retired, taking the material With
her.
Next a hot spell came on, and Mrs. John
grew desperate. Material and I'll she was
about 81 out. and no shrt-waists Yet! She
bought one ready-made for 81. It was nice
in front but dubbed in the back. Then
she made up her mind that S.is would
have shirt-waist, and a good one, If she
lost leg trying. She went to a first
class tailor and paid IS for one. It dubbed
in the back, was short in front, Ire neck
was small She decided to surrender the
leg. It was now time to be getting away
to the country. IF I only had something
to wear she said to Mrs. Next Door.

"THE CHRISTI OF PASSION PLAY.
He is tho Son of Stove-Makcr and
Follows the Trade Himself.

During a recent visit to Oberammergau
Ida Shaper Hoxie witnessed the prepara-
tons for the Gecennial presentations OF
1.-THE Passion Play" and talked with the
chief personages OF the cast. OF these
she writes in the June Ladies Home
Journal: The Judas of 1880, the painter
and decorator, Johann Twink, because
of his excellent Interpretation at that
time and his unchanged appearance, plays
the same role again this year. The
youthful John of 1880 again assumes that
role. Though now twenty-nine years
DID, he has retained the fresh. youthful
expression of ten years ago. He spends
his days in his workshop beside his home
carving figures of the Madonna and of the
Christ.
canton Lang, Jr., the son OF a stove
maker, and following his fathers trade,
seems to have been the one person of
the village looked upon by all as the
Christ for 1900. In 1880, as child of five,
and again in 1880, he took part as one OF
the people. 1 called at his humble little
home, and was cordially received. The
plain, meagre. rude, little Hving-room
was repellant in its baroness. When the
son Anton, in blue overalls and jean
Jacket entered and smiled at me I forgot
the room. AS I looked into his face,
seemingly as innocent and sweet as q
childs, yet showing the strength and the
character of the grown man, l think l
experienced feeling akin TO that which
the friends of the lowly Jesus must have
had as they came in contact with Him in
His early years, when they were as yet
unaware of His divine nature"
