The fourth volume of Taine's correspondence,
which completes the collection, has just been

from 1876 to 1892. One of the letters written
TO his daughter contains an apt suggestion for
prcscntday readers He says:

American readers are not perhaps generally
aware of the fact that there has recently been
a lively debate in England over certain ncw
editions of RuSkinS works. For some time
past Il deintive edition of his complete works
has been passing through the press, an edition
practically invalidatinS the early editions of
some of the great writer's most important pro-
ductionS. RuSkin was never man unwilling
TO ltrrn or to admit that he had made mis-
takes. He rewrOte some of his books, and iG
some greatly augmented them. In the
authorized edition, now going forward, we
have his text as he wished it to so finally be-
fore the world. But certain early editions,
having gone out of copyright have lately
been reproduced. and loud has been the OutCry.
There have been striking articles and letters
the subject in the London Saturday Review"
and these have just been put into pamphlet
by Mr.. George Allen Ruskin'S publisher. 1t is
called copyright and COpywrong: The Authen-
tic and the UnauthentiC Ruskin." OF course,
the publishers of the old editions bring for
ward divers plausible arguments, but it
tanly seems a hardship that the fame of an
author who has Overhaued and radically
changed his book should suffer from the con-
tnucd circulation of an edition which he had
rcpudiated as out of harmony with his mature
thought

WoMAN,s STATUS.

That international marriages often
end unhappiiy is not forgotten by the
trainers of the new citizenship law OF
the United States, which went into
effect on July l. Before this law was
enacted, the political status of an
American woman who had married a
foreign husband, had 5een divorced
and had continued to live abroad,
was indeed, uncertain and forlorn.
Am ,rican FEDERAL law was silent on
the subject. Our government has AS
sun ed that American woman who
mar -iei an Lien thereby lost citizen
ship and became of the nationality Of
her husband. But of what nation was
she when the union ended in divorce
Or death? To this there was no au-
thoritative answer. and an American
woman living abroad after the bonds
of an International marriage had been
dissolved was in practical effect a
political derelict. a woman without a
country. Now. however, under the
new law, her status is authoritatively
de telmined The new law provides
thaG an American woman marrying an
allen shall be regarded as not an
American so long as the union en-
dures, but on the death of her hus-
band, or absolute divorce, she may
regain American citizenship either by
residing in the United States. or, if
she is abroad, by declaring her inten-
ton to reside in the United States,
before an American consul. But IL
she prefers to retain the nationality
of her husband after his death. or
after divorce. she can do so by max
ing formal announcement. This is
one os the most important features of
the new citizenship law; it will heal

IMPORTING soNesTERs.

Importations of cage birds into the
United States have increased by
more than TWENTY-FIVE per cent, dur
ing the last four years. OF course a
great majority of such feathered crea-
lures brought into this country are
canaries, the breeding of which IN
Germany, and more particularly by
peasants in the Harz Mountains, is a
most picturesque industry, but about
three hundred other species are
brought hitler from various parts of
the world, and the methods adopted
for capturing and transporting them
are in many instances both curious
and interesting.
In earlier days it was the custom
much more commonly than now for
sailors to collect strange birds in
distant quarters of the globe and
bring them to American or European
seaports, where they disposed of
them for SINAI sums in ready money.
Even at the present time the species
imported from the Orient are mostly
introduced in this way, the traffic be
