JOHN RUSKIN'S
S0CIALISTIC MIX

When Ruskin began his writings
on English and italian and all other
art.--when he ventured upon person
al expression In literatuy he did
not intend to pursue letters, he
expected "a make himself an artist.
He found out that he could write.
but he never found out that by no
chance could he have painted. lie
was an artist Ina words. but not
otherwise. AS he went on he became
the preacher OF morals and esthetics
TO the English people. but he was
always modest about it. not claiming
TO be authoritative except he had
long formulated the ideas on which
he proposed TO form his ST. Georges
society. So here we present his ideas
for the governance of an industrial
community as he made them up;
and although tits not all pure gold
(for Ruskin was an aristocrat to the
limit, there is gold I'm Ruskin al
ways. and Judgment is requisite TO
discern II. In the quotation Rusl1in
will be abridged:
Any form OF government Will work
provided the governors are real and
the people obey them: and none will
work, If the governors are unreal or
the people disobedient. II you mean
to have logs for kings, no quantity of
liberty in the choice OF the wood will
be of any profit to YOU Nor VII the
wisest or best governor be able TO
serve you, If you mean to discuss his
orders instead of obeying them.
The first duty of government is TO
see that the people have food. fuel
and clothes. The second that thov
have means of moral and intellectual
education. Food, fuel and Clothes
can only be got ont Of the ground or
sea by muscular labor: and no man
has any business TO have any unless
he has done, II able. the muscular
work necessary to produce his por-
tion. or to render, as the labor of a
surgeon or physician renders. equiv

VI indeed saves both toll and time

to do their equal days duty. and the
business of the government is to see
that they have done #. before gives
any one of them their dinner. While
the daily teaching of Gods truth

ing of his sword. are TO be reouired
OF every human soul according TO
his ability. the merccnary professions
Of preaching, law-giving and nehtina
must be entirely abolished.
Scholars, painters and musicians
may be advisedly kept, TO instruct or

work; provided the duty be severely
restricted TO those who have high

in ofice need not concern themselves about
the administration Of the governmental
doctrine which paralyzed the patriotism OF
the MASSES and invited abuses on the part OF
officials.
EVILS OF THE CIVIL SERVICE SYSTEM.
The system by which officials ~wereohosen
was also calculated to breed selfishness and
indifference to the public veal as we'll as to
impede progress. The course Of instruo-
ton, as before stated, contemplated merely
the memoriaing Of the Chinese classics,
composed Of the sayings Of the 81 ges, poetry
and Chinese history.
The aspirants for honors we're not re-
quired TO think for themselves, to under
stand the problems Of their generation or TO
know anything Of the science of government
To compose a good essay upon what Con-
fucius said, upon what Menoius thought or
upon what Shun or Wan OF Voc did was
sufficient. This naturally chained each
generation to the past and locked the door
to advancement.
The successful candidate felt that his APP
pointment was due to his own merit and that
he was under no obligation to any one ex-
oept the members Of his family who had
furnished the money necessary to enable
him to take the various examinations.
Neither the securing OF the Office nor the
retaining Of it rested upon his ability to de-
wise wise policies or upon his interest In the
people at large. The Emperor with I'm"
limited power vas above him, the people
with unlimited patience below him.
In later years the examinations nave
sometimes become a farce and rank has been
offered to the highest bidder, bidding being
encouraged by an intimation that this
might be the last chance; but even when
honestly conducted the civil service OF
China was not calculated to develop the
official or to secure a good, wise and pro-
gressive government.

HOW HEART AFFECTS WATCH.
Timepiece Is Uncertain II That Organ Is
Irregular. Says 4 watch Maker.
From the Pittsburo Gazette,

Nobody would ever think that something
the matter with him would cause some-
thing to be the matter with his watch, but
a watch maker Is the cause OF much uneasi-
ness In an East End family, and all because
he Insists that he does his best with a certain
watch and that the reason IL does not keep
good time Ia because the man who carries 1t
must have an irregular heart beat.
II came about in this wise: The head Of
the family has a gold watch that cost him
5000 ten years ago. He has carried Il ever
since. but a year ago 1t began 20 act queerly.
For some days 1t lost time, and then 1t began
to gain time: again II would gain time mys-
terlously and then strangely lose q minute
or two q day. 1t had been to the watch
repairer three ines In twelve months,
and was still acting irregularly q week ago
when the mans wife took 1t to the watch
maker.
81 think / know what Is the matter with
this watch" said the craftsman. Il don't
believe that your hu sband's heart beats
regularly. Now. don't get alarmed. 1t is
not necessarily disease. He may be just
one of those men who can't have q watch
that keeps good time, simply because OF
their irregular heart beats,
"You see. a watch has a regular rhythmic
movement" said the matchmaker. 1T is
carried close to the human heart, which
ought to have a regular rhythmic move
ment, too. Now, while the watch is beat
ing away the heart Is beating also. II its
pnlsations occur regularly, punctuating the
rhythm Of the watch at specific intervals,
the rhythm Of the watch movement Is un-
disturbed; but let the heart pulsations occur
irregularly. now prlsating with the tick Of
the watch, again stopping dlscordant&y In
between the ticks. the watch Is bound 10 be
affected. Leave this watch here, and let
your husband carry your watch. which. we
know. keeps regular time. Let him wear II a
month, and see II ! am not right"
SO the woman handed her husband her
watch TO note the result. She wanted him
to consult a specialist Immediately upon her
return from the matchmaker. but he com
promised by agreeing to try the test sug-

GYPSY AND BROWNTAIL MORN.
Bay State to Spend 81 900 900 I'm ENter-
minating These Plaques.

from INC Lctpi6ton Evening journal,
The matter Of the gypsy and browntail
moth scourqes is brought 10 the attention OF
Congress by the introduction OF a bill appro-
prating $3.50. 900 for DISCRIMINATING these
nuisances. President Fernald and others are
deeply interested la this work. II is charged
that ~grafters are planting these pests In Rhode
Island and in other States. They are very
prolific, and one OF two samples sent by natl
will breed enoug h nuisances TO eventually
eat up everything green in sight. Mo- Sinc"
the locusts few over Egypt has there been
such O pest. The Middle West il u,w in
vaded. At times last year when tn" south
wind swept over Boston 1t was as hard seeing
across the street as In q driving snowstorm.
Both moths are carried great distances by
railways. The gypsy caterpillar spins a
long thread attached to tho end Of a Dough
and swings In the wind until a passing train
picks him up and carries him along. The
automobile light by night helps TO difuse
the nuisance, The gypsy Is Deepen dent upon
human agencies for spreading, for the female
moth Is not an angel and can't fly, but the
browntail moth can fly many miles. The
gypsy moth came TO us because Of the care
essness OF a scientist living In Medford'
Mass, who had an idea that by crossing the
gypsy with the common silkworm he could
produce a silkworm hat would thrive In New
England. The country has spent si.S@L.0p
the past ten years to xtermlnat this scieh-
tlhc plague. Meantime the browntail came
In on rose bushes from Holland. Nsssachu-
sets will spend 81 1000, 600 tho next thrc"
years in fighting these plaques. Tho Only
method so far successful against the brown
tail Is cutting OF It's neat swinging from the
ends of boughs and burning the bourh.
Now the Agricultural Department is seeking
a parasite. These moths, especially the
gypsy. strip both fruit trees and shade trees
