A Story OF Ruskin.

The Bookman: Here is a true Ruskin
story that has never been published:
A certain person in this country sent
a friend of his in England an Amer
lean edition Of Ruskin's works. They
were seized by the customs, of course,
nd were in peril of confiscation, when
the consignee learned that if he could
procure a letter from Mr.. Ruskin al
lowing the books to pass into England
the customs would release them. Ac-
cordingly a letter of request was sent
to Mr.. Ruskin. who replied promptly
and with characteristic verve as fol-
lows:
"Sir: / do not see that your friends
desire to give you a present at my tx
pense is any apology for your in
trusion upon me. Yours, ETC., John
Ruskin."
The books came back to America,
but, in spite of very tempting offers,
the recipient of Mr.. Ruskin's curt re-
ply refuses to part with the auto
graph.

TRANSPARENT Shells.

Portland Oregonian: Among the
numberless curiosities sent home by
members of the Oregon volunteers
from Manila are many specimens Of
n thin semi-transparent shell used in
the Philippines for window glass. No
one here could imagine what kind of
an animal produced such a shell, and
It has been left for one of the returned
volunteers to furnish the explanation,
He says it is produced by a sort of BIZ
valve of the oyster variety, known
throughout the east as the Chinese.
1t is used for windows and also in
lanterns. The Chinese grind up the
shell and make from il the silver paint
so common in their water %colors. The
bivalve Is very common In the Phil
ippines, and a very good and cheap
substitute for'glass; one that Is eX-
tremely ingenious and suggestive Of
the value of shells. The shell is so
transparent that print can readily be
seen through it. and admitting n mel
low light in a room where it is used
as window glass. One could almost
imagine that it was some skillful iE-
vention of the natives, could not the
growth of rings be readily observed.
The outer side of the shell is percepti-
bly, rough, while the interior is per-
fectly glazed over, and in the light has
the pearly luster found in many of the
thin shelled oyster-like mollusks of
the tropics.

Faith Curc--and a Poultice.

New York Herald: 1t seldom occurs In
this enlightened age that there is not a
man Of the moment, Of the occasion, who
says the right thing at the right time
and clears away a mass Of blunder and
misconceotion.
The opportunity produced the right man
once more at the graduation exercises Of
the Bellevue hospital medical college.
He was the Rev. David j. Burrell, who
addressed the graduating class. He
opened the young doctors ears by de-
claring: Il believe In the faith cure" and
then told why:
"Hezekiah the king was going to die.
and the prophet came in and prayed. The
prophet prayed and put on a fig poultice.
That is the point of the c~ure-after you
get through praying put on a poultice.
That Is the reason l believe in faith
cure"
That is the position of the community
and the health authorities I'm a nutshell.
Nobody objects TO the prayers and spir-
itual administrations of the faith-curists.
Per Sc they can do no harm, but they
capnot be permitted to the exclusion Of
the regular practitioner.
1t is the poultice that the law insists
upon, and 1t is the poultice that will cure
while many precious appeals are mads
for divine interpretation

women did.

their heads and an aspect of grim de-
termination on their faces.
For the young woman In q $3.50 seat

Il beg your pardon, but will you
please remove your hats?"
And each had answered.:
mo, l will not"
When the first scene was over she
asked them again, and again they ans
wered NO
Then she went to the head usher and
made complaint.

madam, but L hesitate TO ask them to

for you than that. There Is a vacant

She too II.
With her face wreathed in smiles she
turned to them and said:
Keep your hats on, ladies, IL you
choose. You will not incommode me In
the least"
Then she put on her own hat, a close
imitation of q Gainsborough in its de-
sign, makeup and general scope, and
sat serenely with II on her head
through all the rest of the performance.
For she was only human, and the
provocation was great.

From an English letter: The duch-
ass of York is q most enthusiastic col
lector of parasols. She has no fewer
than 100, and all are made from special
designs in order that the combination
Of color with her costume and hat may
be perfectly realized. The duchess,
previous to going into mourning for
the queen of Denmark, was develop
ing into one Of the best dressed women
in the country. Many people think
that the little curl which her highness
wears on the forehead is an imitation
Of the princess of Wales. Nothing of
the kind. AS a matter of fact when
the duchess was a child she fell down
and cut her forehead on a fender. This
left a very ugly scar, and in order to
hide this scar the delightful little curl
which has been so freely initiated was
brought into request.

STORY OF JUsrlcE FIELD.

lists Nature.
Philadelphia Evening Post: The
late Justice Stephen j. Field of the
United States supreme court was gen.
orally regarded by lawyers as a some.
what irascible old gentleman. But an
anecdote of the venerable jurist by
Master in Chancery William Fenimore
Cooper, who formerly served as a page
In the supreme court, shows that be-
meath his cloak of %pusterity the emil
nent jurist concealed a second nature
that was sympathetic, charitable and
even tender. Mr.. Cooper is now an
officer of the court in Chicago. Since
the death of the much discussed JUS
tice, Mr.. Cooper has consented to talk
OF the days when IL was his privilege
to see the phases of Justice Fields life
little known to the outside world.
cit was Mr.. Fields custom to pro.
vide himself with new banknotes from

ment," said the master in chancery.
These he carried In a long, old fash
II pocketbook. He would never
fold a bill, and expressed his unquali-
he'd displeasure when he received in
change a soiled or old banknote. The
world will never know of the almost
interminable drain that his daily char
tiles made on the contents of that
enormous leather wallet ] have car
ried many a messenger of cheer to the
home of poverty at his bidding. While
in a peculiar mood one day, Justice
Field severely reprimanded Page Hen
ry Mccall for an offense of which the
page was innocent. But the member
of the highest court in the land could
not be persuaded that his course was
not the correct one. Mccall felt hui
inflated, but he was a little gentle
man and held his peace. Court adj
journed for two hours, and upon the
return of Justice Field tn his chambers
he sent me for Mccall. Come to my
house at z o'clock this evening" was
the only order Justice Field had for
the page he had censured. With min
gled feelings of doubt and despair, my
colleague called at the Field residence
at the time specified, was ushered into
the jurist's library, and told to hold
the books which Mr.. Field began,
without explanation or ceremony, to
take from the shelves. When the vet
eran lawyer had piled about fifteen
volumes into Page McCalrs arms, he
grufly remarked:
"llenry, I'm very sorry for the way

conduct vas unwarranted, and / beg
your pardon. Here are some choice
books. Keep them as a nucleus for

you do! Good night

II AUTO A
Lessons Learned From the Bicycle Boom,
of Use Now.

OF Ose NOW.
Ainslee's: The best idea Of the advance
Of automobile construction In America
today is gained not so much from the
fact that O couple of years ago there
were barely one hundred automobiles In
the United States. while now there s"s
thousands, but rather from the steady
progress OF new automobile inventions
and serviceable devices. The whole
country seems to have gone
mad declared an official Of the United
States patent office the other day, while
conversing with the writer. I'VE have
more patents filed for automobile devices
today than for any other branch of in
xention, and stu they come pouring In.
The same might be said Of the formation
OF new companies for automobile con-
Struction. Scarcely a day passes that the
newspapers do not record the incorpora-
ton OF a new automobile COMPANY.
Barely one year ago there were But ten
recognized manufacturer Of automobiles
In America, while now there are more
than 800. All the energy that went into
the great bicycle boom of the last de.
cade would appear to nave diverted H.
self int othe new channel Nor have tho
lessons of the bicycle boom been loat
Little fear as there need be at present OF
an overproduction of automobiles. it ia
clearly recognized that quick ~production
must be one Of the essentials OF success
Those makers who launched their auto
mobiles nrst now have the strongest grip
on the market. A case in point ia one
New York firm that succeeded in turn
ing out some 1000 steam-propelIed vehi-
Giles before Its machines were really per
fected. What these early machines lacked
was rapidly supplemented by the sugges-
lions and criticisms of the ~urchase
themselves, so that by the time the Other
makers began to put forth their new
products this company was able 70 ex-
change Its defective machines for new
automobiles of an improved nattern
which could be t.t.sted to climb steep
mountain ranges or 10 win races abroad,
For another year-porhaps two or
three years-the manufacturers will be
able to keep their prices at the nresenf
top notch, ranging from $500 to 4 0GI
The automobile Is still the newest ming
and as such appeals to the moneyed neo,
pie who can AFFORD to crafty their desire
for novelty. Princes and potentates are
among the most prominent automohiust
abroad, while In this country the hest
known advocates of the new sport ara
such multi-millionaires as William X
Vanderbilt, George Gould, Clarence n
Mackay and John Jacob Astor. After tha
automobile has ceased TO be a mere al.
version for the wealthy, Ii will behoove
manufacturers to consider the general
public. Then prices must drop. as thew
are dropping now In France for all auto
mobiles, with the exception of racing ma
chimes and vehicles for sh0w
