This was especially true in his per-

RuSkin's PeculiaTities.
The career OF Ruskin is one which.
had he lived in an age less given to
literary gossip than our own, would be
likely to puzzle the future historian. a
xaore eccentric bundle Of contradictions
never lived. yet he was far from being
an unlovable or unattrsctive character
The circumstances and conditions Of
his life have been so completely re-
torded that writer's on the literature Of
the nineteenth century need not be so
much puzzled as some OF his contempt
rsries we're in estimating his character
This work of Mr.. Harrison, while not
voluminous. is carefully written, and
complete in itself. and gives a sympa-
tbetic and just view OF the man-sueh
a view as can alone be considered fair,
in dealing with complex and unusual
character.

There is a current anecdote of a hot
tempered man who reached the railway
station one day Just in time to see his
train disappear in the distance. He gave
vent to mis- feelings in fit of very en-
phatic language. Then. turning. he saw
a meek-looking little lady, evidently in
the same situation as himself, and hur-
riedly began TO apologize. She stopped
him with a gesture. Don't apologize
sir" she said sweetly. thank you" This
may give a clue to the reason why some
of the mildest and gentIest people have
enjoyed reading Ruskin.
Not a Socialist.
Another wise comment is this. And

upon these social Utopias which were

ridicule, it is curious to note bow many

is not bad plan: and the same attitude

1t is a sorrowful and unaccountable
fact that unusual virtues are more like
ly to bring trouble upon their possessor
than usual faults, which only bring
trouble upon other people. Most Of the
troubles of Ruskin came from his high
est and finest qualities, those which he
shared with few men OF his time. His
love and reverence for his parents, his
respect and tenderness for women. were
at the bottom Of his greatest troubles.
Had he been a less dutiful son, or less
humble lover, he might have been a
happier man
This conviction forces itself upon US

Yet there have been lives sadder than
