kept It; then, going to Morgan's resi-
dence, he sent In his own card In com.
pany with that of the financier. The
ruse was successful, and he was shown
into Morgan's presence When the re-
porter had stated his reason for the
call the fnancier said: "Do you know,

SECOND RENAISSANCE.

Another Revival of Art, It In Claim
ed, Is Needed.
In order to reform our present stereo-
typed methods of art we want a sec
ond renaissance. For long years we
have done nothing but turn out from
our colleges young men stuffed with
useless scientific lumber, and they very
quickly lose it all, and there is nothing
to take its place. This is not to be won
dered at WREN throughout Europe
there is such neglect of art In our ed
ucatlon. 1t may be replied to me that
the inventions of science compensate
for the deficiency, but these inventions
are almost exclusively II not quite a
mere increase In the power of the bod
lily senses and faculties-the telegraph
In that of the tongue, the telephone In
that Of the ear, the railway in that of
the legs, the Photographic science in
that Of the eye-and these inventions
leave In ignorance the more intellectual
part of the individual Your portrait
can be taken, your voice boxed up-this
Is extraordinary-but the soul which
commands, the god which is In the
head, is forgotten.
And yet the means for altering this
state of things Is near at hand, is be-
meath our eyes We have still the same
nature that inspired those anonymous
sculptors to give us the Gothic; we still
have a sufficient number of Gothic
masterpieces intact-so many epitomes
Of nature, as have said-to show
what can be done by the man who
starts with his vision open to her
teaching.-Auguste Rodin In North

Russia is pre-eminently the land of

Of the police are stationed every 500
yards. In addition secret agents watch
the houses day and night, one being al

every house is another spy-the porter.
Go where you will, you are never out Of
the watchful eye Of the police. You
brush against spies In your hotel, as In
the theaters; In q restaurant, as In the
drawing room of a friend. 1t is ridic-
ulously easy to recognize those you
meet In the fashionable resorts. They
have evidently been instructed to dis
guise themselves as gentlemen, and for

is frock coat, silk hat and always,

Complete Treatment for Every
HumOur, from Pimples
to SCrofuIa.

The agonizing itching and burning
of the skin, as in eczema the frightful
scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of
hair and crusting of the scalp, as in
SCALED head the facial Disagreement,
as in pimples and ringworm; the
awful suffering of infants and the
anxiety of WORKOUT parents, as in
milk crust, letter, and salt rheum, all
demand a remedy of almost super
human virtues to successfully cope
with them. That Cuticura Soap, ONT
ment, and Pills are such stands proven
beyond al a. sht. No statement is
made regarding them that is not justi-
fed by the strongest evidence. The
purity and sweetness, the power to
afford immediate relief, the certainty
of speedy and permanent cure, the alb
solute safety and great economy, have
made them the standard skin cures
and hnmour remedies of the civilized
world.g
The grandest testimonial that can
be offered the Cuticura remedies is
their worldwide sale, due to the per-
sonal recommendation OF those who
have used them. From a small begin
ming in, the simplest form, against
prejudice and opposition, against
fnonied hosts, countless rivals, and
trade indifference, Cuticura remedies
have become the greatest curatives of
their time, and, in fact, of all time,
for nowhere in the history of medicine
Is to be found another approaching
them in popularity and sale. In every
cline and with every people they have
met with the same reception. The
confines of the earth are the only
limits to their growth. They have
conquered the world.

II Is matter of surprise that many peo-

disease; that those who do not keep their
