the polish of her style at first blush permit the
reader to discern. There is a piling Of the
agony in her pictures of social splendors which
reminds US of Ouida, though it is accompanied
by none of those flashes of genius which have
rescued Ouida from the limbo to which short
sighted critics would fain consign her. 1t would
be fine thing if Mrs. Ward were to abandon
her Julie de Lespinasses and Lady Caroline
Lambs, and would return TO the vein which she
exploited so effectively in her best book, THE
History of David Grieve" which she published
thirteen years ago.

The unanimity with. which the
nations OF the earth are turning
to the United States as the world
power most likely to be called
upon TO further the cause OF
peace between Russia and japan,

among diplomatists the world
over that no nation is 30 well fitr
ted to conduct the delicate nego-
tiations which must attend the
birth of that peace movement so
earnestly desired by the human
itarians Of the world, must prove
gratifying TO every patriotic
American. At this crisis In the
affairs OF the Muscovite Empire
II is evident that Great Britain
and France are debarred from
acting the role Of peacemaker
because Of their alliances with
the respective beligerants. Ger
many because Of the close friend :
ship Of the Kaiser for the Csar,
would unquestionably prove per
soma non grat& to Japan and OF
the great powers the United
States alone remains. Moreover,
throughout The prolonged hostil-
titles this country has preserved
the most perfect neutrality bs.

President Roosevelt has, oil

has rendered it possible for both

also suggested by the represen-
tatlves OF the foreign powers IN

Roosevelt's reputation as .
champion of The square deal has
extended so far beyond the con-
fines Of this country that both
Russia and Japan would expert
ence no hesitation in entrusting
their interests TO his solicitous
care. For these reasons II seems
probable that If peace negos'a.
tions are instituted, President

IMAGE RICHLY CLAD.
Jeweied Figure Of the Virgin Sold
For $25,ooo-Discovery OF its
Value an Accident.

A curious discovery has just been
made concerning an image OF the
Virgin in the chapel OF the
Co1egio de las Vizcainas in the City
of Mexico.
One day, in 1882, three Spanlards
while rambling through the city
noticed number of poor Children
playing in the street, apparently
uncared for and with no school to
attend. This meeting inspired them
to erect at a cost Of 100000 the
great, gloomy red stone building
occupying an entire block and known
as the Colegio de las Vizcianas, or de
San Ienacio or de la Paz. for girls,
CHI Fly orphans The intention OF
the generous trio. natives OF Blscay,
was 70 limit the benfits OF the school
to children of Spaniards, but long
ago this was found impracticable.
This ancient institution is conduct
ed Under the supervision Of some OF
the foremost ladies of Mexico, Ill
cluding the wife of President Diaz.
Recently some of these women re-
ceived permission TO renovate the
robes of the images in the college
chapel. To do this they unlocked all
the cases, including one of wood and
glass in which figure of the Virgin
stood for many years undisturbed.
To their amazement the apparent
1y humbly clad image proved to be
of wood, beautifully a2d artistically
.carved, covered by sheet of silver
studded with gold and precious
stones.
Competent judges say the image
represented originally the Virgin OF
the Angels and was later transform
ed into the Virgin Of the Conception,
as shown by the mautilation Of the
group of angel heads on which the
feet rested. At one time there WEI =
seven heads and three had bee'4 sew
cred. A silver crescent, now in two
pieces, had been nailed over the head
ard face of one of the angels.
The attitude Of the body is ex-
sremely natural and correct, and the
workmanship Of the silver tunic and
the veil, hanging in rich folds and
gracefully caught at the waist, is
highly praised by artists. From
crown to base the height is metre
and IS centimetres.
The jewels consisted Of 1o2 dia-
monds, 342 emeralds, 26 rubies, 1,o47
