1t is possible that before these lines are
printed the answer will be known, but at
present all London is asking as Lytton did
In his novel. What will he do with tip
the he" in question being the person who
recently managed to purchase for sixpenoe
OR II cents In American money-a book
worth in the neighborhood of $1,000 The
point Is that the London dealer who mad
yeftently parted with original copy of
Lady Hamilton's Secret History of the
Court of England for this Insignificant sum
is now offering s75 for it's return, and every
one is wondering if the lucky purchaser will
be satisfied with this tidy profit, or whether
he Will hold on to his treasure in the hone
of making few thousand dollars on Ii at
some time later on.
This remains to be seen. In the meantime
this is how the amazing sale came to be
made: The property of prominent second
hand dealer in oxford street, this rare book
which is half-leather. octave volume
with a worn and soled back-was kept with

other valuable tones in a glass case al the
back of the booksellers shop. The other
day, however, the books were taken out 10
be busted, and by some mistake the precious
Secret History found it's way Into the pox
outside bearing the legend. Any one OF
these for sixpence," and before more than
few hours had passed some one had snapped
II nm at that price and there was mourning
and lamentation in the secondhand estab-
lishment.
Did the purchaser know the value OF the
volume which he thus got for the 'raGi-
tional song? There is reason to suppose ne
did, and that he can afford to hold on TO IL
for awhile. otherwise he would prooapiy
before this have returned the book ana
pocketed the merchants SO. Meanwhile
the actual value of the history seems to be
well attested. for the unfortunate book mer-
chant points out that original copies OF this
work are exceptionally rare. and that soooo
was recently offered In New York for one
similar to that with which he has just part
ed for so insignificant sum.

OF late we have been hearing quite lot
about the mothers of distinguished authors
Stevenson's. for instance, Is brought before
us sympathetically in her recently published
letters, and now the Rev. w. T. Kingsley.
who will be ninetytwo next June and who
was the friend and intimate of John Ruskin
has been telling an interviewer about the
mother of the author of Sesame and
Lilies. Evidently she remained unimpressed
by his greatness and authority for she was
as ready to sit upon him. metaphoricalIy
speaking, after his reputation had been won
as she could have been in the earlier days
when he. was just her boy"
In telling of visit to Ruskin once Mr.
Kingsley describes how the artist-critic in
duiged in an argument with his mother. 1t
was from her, he says, that Ruskin got his
brains. George Richmond the artist was
one of the company, and some point raised
brought on a lively debate, in which Mrs.
Ruskin joined.

clined to that belief and feared getting the
worst of the argument she ALWAYS closed
the discussion by saying, Hold your tongue

Snake Hunting With Noses.

When the Australian aborgine is pushed and can find no other game, he catches snakes for food. With his won derful brown eyes he can see the faint est trail where q snake has ZigZagged through the dry moss and leaves. At nighttime his broad nostrils take up the chase. and, stopping down among the bushes. with a tough forlled stick i'll his hand to support him. he follows the track as unerringly as blood- hound. When he runs snake to earth, if he cannot surprise it ill the open and kill it by d sudden blow of his stick, he sQuats over it's hole. making low kissing or whistling sound with his lips. Soon the snake puts it's head out of the hole and peers round. In an in- Staut the forked stick descends and fixes it to the ground by the neck, and the black fellow. seiZing it behind the he!d, so that it cannot bite him, drags it out of the hole and either twists it's head off or pounds it on the ground till it's back is broken.

THE SIMPLE HOUSE.
How k May Re Act,tcvcs, Tn an I,::ss,
 Natural Way.

The simple house E1:.at nat only be simple but it must he good. Tt& ei'A} plicity is not that oi i4eS" lalsene.ss. That is something quite different Sim plicity in house design does not mean a mere denuding of ornament or it's de. liberate omission. 1t means tsat the house must be designed in d simple way that is also beautiful. Simplicity of design is based on structural devcl- opment In the hands of the skilled de si@ner these structural lines bccom" also lines of beauty. The construction, therefore, becomes beautiful construc- ton, and the simple house is achieved 1 in q natural. beautiful way,
 Fairness, severity, commonplace ness. barrenness, must not be confused with simplicity. There must be artis- tic effort or the house will be con- pletely wanting ill external merit i fussy house will not necessarily be made beautiful by stripping it of it's ornament. It may be bettered-at least it will be rid of unnecessary parts. TEe evil is more deeply rooted than that It lies in the very bone and sinew of the house, and the remedy. if there can be remedy. must be applied to the whole structure
 Mere plainness ill house building has no positive qualities of excellence. \ house that is merely plain and with no other quality has nothing else to rec ommend it. The simple house. on the other hand, has beauty in it's simplici- ty beauty due to it's fine lines and to the harmony of all the parts.- Amer ican Homes and Gardens.
