1SSS-1906. By Harry ThurSton Peck,
LID. With Frontispiece. New York:
Dodd. Mead & Co. Washington: Bren-
tano's.
No period Of American history probably
is more full of events calculated to trans
form conditions than the latest twenty
years of the republic, and no period has
been SO completely subjected to calcium
light or microscopic investigation. With
the first Inauguration Of President Cleve-
land in 1885 and the ascendancy Of democ-
racy after the long period of republican
rule, came sihnifcant political changes
which in great degree indicated the marked
changes in the social and intellectual life
of the people. From that period to the end
Of the Mckinley Roosevelt administration
in 1905 the zest with which these changes
were pursued has made the period unique
in the development Of the nation. Mr..
Peck tells the story Of these epoch-making
events with graphic force, style that
Is convincingly authoritative. and a sense
merely informing, but entertaining. The
book Is notable not merely In Its scholarly
use of available material, but in the init
mate manner Of treatment.

The Wolf in Switzerland.

From the Geographical Journal.
Apart from the evidence of its presence
in the age of pile dwellings. the earliest
reference to the wolf in Switzerland is in q
decree of Charlemagne of about the end OF
the eighth century. From this time to
the latter part Of the fourteenth century
the records are exceedingly scanty, but
during the next three centuries they be-
come very common and show the strenuous
fight against the marauder which had to be
maintained by the inhabitants, and the part
which 1t played in their superstitious ideas.
A striking fact is its abundance at the
beginning of the seventeenth century.
which is explained as resulting from the
devastation of the thirty years war. With
the end of that century the period of its
greatest abundance closed, and from hence
onward it begins gradually to disappear,
the last wolf having been killed in Lucerne
in 1865, while the western frontier districts
continued to suffer from its ravages until
quite recent date. The determination of
the animal has only been made possible by
the introduction of modern weapons.

LABELS FOR HOUSES.
Good Notices, Old and New, Rhymed
and Reasoned.

From the London Spectator.
delightful little collection of notices
has just been published, taken from old
houses, from sun dials and from bells. Some
or the house notices are however, evil
IDENTIFY newly made. They may have been
superadded upon ancient walls, but they are
eminently suited to new ones. The pic
ture they bring before the readers mind
Is modern picture. Take the following
three cleverly constructed rhymes which we
are about TO quote. Do they not make us
think of houses lately built in the present
fashion, red brick or white rough cast
trimmed with green, fanciful in conception.
plcturesquely self-conscious, suggestive OF
every artifice which makes for comfort
designed for health and hospitality, with
pf1liiant gardens open to the eye, the whole
feuoieht OF prosperity and benevolence?
IL this house thy notice win
Give kind wish TO all tneren;
And if 1t please thee, don't neglect
To Include the architect.
The writer of this rhyme thought chiefly
about the fabric. The next had his mind
on his flowers:
Give this house, oh. traveller. pray
a AZ blessing - I,! as as you ,1 pass this way;
While you're at it, bless the garden.
The last is the best verse of the three.
The lines approach to poetry:
Stranger, should this catch your eye.
Do favor passing by
Bless this house you be gone,
And 1t shall bless you, passing on.
The house notices of the past were more
grave In tone, many were didactic, some
even rather grim. For the most part those
who made them did not ask a blessing from
the stranger, but merely invoked one upon
themselves:
God shield this house from grief and fire
And sin-no more need man desire.
Some Of them would seem to have been
put upon the house as a sort of amulet to
guard it against the besetting fears of the
man who was to live there:
From the nightmare
And sorrow and fire,
And all evil things that be,
Salve Benedicite.
Another householder was more afraid Of
robbers, pestilence and want than of ere
or dreams:
May this house be ever free
From sickness. thieves and poverty.
Among the more religious notices. the
one We are about to quote pleases US best:
Enter dear Lord mi. mine house e with me,
The present writer has a dim recollection
that he has seen this before in slightly
different version, the word Thine being
substituted for Heaven a change which
makes the ve,se almost worthy of George
Herbert. The strong desire of a religious
minded man to found family could hardly
be better expressed than in the following
four lines. They breathe the very spirit Of
the Old Testament:
God, by whose gift this worke did begin.
Conserve the same from skaith, from schame and
sin.
Lord as this building built was by Thy grace,
Max IL remain still with the builders race.
Only one motto seems to have been espe-
cialy written for a workmans cottage:
lie that earneth wages by labour and
by the blessing Of Cod may have something to
spare.
The words contain a double suggestion OF
advice. Not only is the tenant to work
well, but his employer is to give him good
wage.

DESCRIPTION OF CANvAsES

The Corcoran Gallerys first annual exhi-
bition of contemporary American paintings
which opened with a private view and re-
eeption last Wednesday evening, is attract
ing wide attention and calling forth favor
able comment. Competent judges have
declared 1t the most notable display Of Its
kind that has ever been held in this coun-
try. On every side it has awakened en-
thusasm and evoked kindly criticism. The
fact that the Corcoran Gallery has pur-
chased nine of the pictures included in the
catalogue for its permanent collection Is in
itself substantial Endorsement. In no bet
ter way could the trustees Of this institu-
tion testify to their appreciation Of the
artists efforts or demonstrate more patent
iy their faith in American art The can
vases acquired were representative and in
every instance we'll chosen-paintings well
worthy of preservation and distinction.
The general character and salient fea-
lures of this exhibition were reviewed in
The Star the day that the private view
was given, but no attempt was made at
that time to treat of more than few
OF the notable exhibits.
The exhibition begins, according to the
catalogue, in the northeast gallery desig-
mated by the letter "A" Here, dominating
by its size and color all the other exhibits,
Is Henry 3. Fuller's huge decorative paint
ing, Life Disarming Death" ambi-
tious theme comparatively well handled. 1t
has been painted before, not just this way,
perhaps, but somewhat so; it's color IS dis
cordant and LIES right wing comes too
far forward, but 1t is still a powerful paint

The painter is the son of the late George
Fuller. who is ranked with the great artists
Of America, and though far less widely
known, has himself produced some smaller
works of uncommon excellence and exceed
ing charm.

NEW PRECIOUS STONE TEST.
Acid Now Used to Detect
limitations.

From the New York Times.
Wholesale dealers In precious stones are
beginning a campaign against the fraudu-
lent sale of imitation precious stones to
people who suppose that they are buying
natural gems. Information Is being sent
out to the retail jewellers of the country
as to a simple method of distinguishing
all glass limitations from genuine stones.
Now, any jeweler or any other person.
by simply dipping the stone, whether free
or set, in an acid, may learn at once
whether 1t Is made of glass or genuine.
Hydrofuoric acid, which Is quite COM
monty used in jewelry factories, Is the
only requisite. Meyer Rothschild, the pres
ident of a New York company of lapidaries,
who discovered that the acid would solve
the problem, and who impaired the in
formation to the other wholesale dealers
said yesterday that the acid will not injure
god In the least, so that stones set in
rings, brooches or other articles of jewelry
may be safely immersed without removal
from the settings. If the stone is genu-
inc diamond, ruby, sapphire, spinel, emer-
aid, aquamarine, precious topaz tourma-
line, garnet or kunzite, 1t will not be affect
ed in the least by the acid
The test is not available for turquoise
and opal, which are rapidly eaten by the
acid. Quartz and quartz gems such as
amethyst, ordinary topaz, crystal and peri
dot, are slightly etched by the acid.
warning goes with the plan to persons
not used to handling acids They are told
to wear rubber gloves or rubber finger
tips, as the acid acts violently on the skin
and to exercise caution as to the fumes
which are dangerous.
The dealers are especially rejoicing be-
cause the four stones classed by them as
precious stones, the diamond. ruby, emer-
aid and sapphire, are all proof against
the action Of the acid, so that glass ini-
tatfons of these gems will be readily re-
vealed
Except the reconstructed ruby, Mr.. Roths-
child says that all limitations of gems now
known to be In the market are of glass
Assertions that other stones are also re-
constructed are said to be false.

covered in it before it was shipped tc
