Primitive Mills In Brazil.

Vice-Consul De Young. writing from Santos,
calls attention to the small corn grinding ma.
chimes in Brazil:
I'm the interior of Brazil primitive method
of producing cornmeal by pounding instead of
grinding is practiced. The instrument known
as a mojollo' works automatically, and consists
of tree trunk balanced the bank of a
stream, one end of the trunk being followed
out to form large cup, while the other end is
in the form of a peste. Water filling the cup
depresses that end of the log. whereupon the
water runs out and the other end falls back to
its original position, the pestle striking the
corn Some modern corn grinders have recent
ly been introduced, but there is a good field
for very small and inexpensive grinder to
take the place of the 'mojollo' in the Interior
where flour mills are rare and each family
grinds its own corn"

woman of 10 years They resumed their old ac-
quaintance, but in very different way. Though
Ruskin was&heaEly SO. he gave to Rose La
Touche an alteration and a passion such as he
had never felt t'before. On her side she no long
er thought of him very ugly" but was sin
gularly drawn; to him, despite the difference
in their yeats.s
The two met often. They took long strolls
together in the pleasant fields of Surrey and
at last Ruskfn begged her to make him happy
and to be his, wife. Oddly enough, however,
she hesitated, not because he was so much old
er than herseuf. but because he had ceased to
be what she regarded as "a true believer"
Some of the things that he had written shocked
her as being almost atheistic. She was her
self, underneath all her gayety of manner a
rigid and uncompromising Protestant. She
used phrases from the Bible in her ordinary
talk and when she spoke of marriage with John
Ruskin she said that she could not endure to be
'yoked with an unbeiever."
Yet her heart was torn at the thought of
sending him away; and for several years
their intimacy continued, he pleading with her
and striving hard to make her see that love
was everything. She, on the other hand, read
over those passages of the Old Testament
which seemed to bar all compromise.
At last, in 1872, when she was "a and he
53, she gave him her final answer. She
would not marry him unless he could believe
as she did. His honesty forbade him to de-
cefve her by a pretended conversion and so
they parted, never to see each other again.
How deeply she was affected is shown by the
fact that she soon fell ILL., She grew worse
and worse until at last 1t was quite certain
that she could not live. Then Ruskin wrote
to her and begged that he might see her. She
answered with a note In which she feebly
traced the words
You may come if you tell me that you
love God more than you love me-"
When Ruskin read this his very soul was
racked with agony and he cried out:
mo, no-then | cannot come to her; for
love her even more than God"
When she died, she did soon after the
light of his life went out for Ruskin.-Mun-
sey's.

Everywhere they meet other diplomats and

of the year. In accordance with the Yankee
idea, only the men OF the American households
go calling on New Years afternoon, but the

is past sundown when this round of calling is
concluded, but that does not end the day for
the tired diplomats. Most of them have been
invited to the ceremonial dinners that in great

they must hurry home and change to evening
attire in order to greet yet another hostess be-

A RUSKN STORY

In 1858, when Ruskin was in his fortieth
year, he was asked by friend to give some
lessons in drawing to a child named Rose La
Touche-whose name indeed was French but
whose family were Irish There sprang up be-
tween Ruskin and this young girl very charm
ing friendship, which, OF course. at the time
could be nothing but friendship. They wrote
each other letters and exchanged drawings and
then TOR awhile they did not meet.
Ten years passed by before they saw each
other. Meanwhile the child whom he had re-
membered as a blue-eyed saucy. clever little
blonde with ripe, red lips and hair like fine
spun gold. had become very lovely young

The Apotheosis of Hank Eden.

In glancing over the account of the
laying OF the cornerstone of the tenn
pie of peace in Holland, we observe
that this inscription has been carved
upon the stone: "Paci Justi tia Fir
mandae Hanc Aedem Andreae Car
negie Munificent'a Decavit"
1t had been many years since we
saw Hank EDEN. He was a stone
mason then, and a good one, and after
he passed from our daily view we
heard from time to time that he had
become contractor and was putting
up great buildings and bridges and
monuments and things of that sort
But at that he was the same old
Hank.
We know that he built a good many
Carnegie libraries, but we did not
know that Hank has become so great
that he would be called in to erect the
temple wherein peace like a river is
TO be damned by all the delegates un-
til they can decide whether breakfast
foods. shoes, dynamite, floor varnish
and arsenic are contraband of war, or
whether or not it is conductive to the
SutCSSS Vi uoStllltleS TO SnOOt soft
nosed bullets into your enemies stom-
achs
Alas! Hank could not stand pros
perity. In the old days he was con-
tent and proud to be known as plain
Hank Eden. In those days he
thought manicure was some sort of
medical school, and he did not know
whether or not water was used in a
Turkish bath. Here he Is mingling
with the effete and the haute monde,
and getting boarding schoolish about
his name. Now he spells it Hanc
Aedem." We are sorry. Rameses is
just being exposed, after four or five
thousand years. Hank should have
waited Mr.. Carnegie, of course, can
spell his name any way he pleases--
he advocates that-but when Hank

boyhood idol is busted all to flinders.

out for the residence of the

noon, an elaborate repast is
served. The average Ameri-

Considerably more than 200

Onion as Tale-TeIler.

There's a divorce.
"Tis very sad affair.
An onion is at the bottom of it.
OF yore hubby was fond of onions
He ate, and ate, and wifey stood it.
Then he fell in love with festive maiden
No more onions for him, much to his wife's
surprise.
The more she thought of It, the more she
wondered at the change.
Not only did he desert the orodous onions
presently he deserted altogether.

According to details furnished to
the Jewish World, mound marking
the site of the city has been exca-
waited by M. de Morgan and was
found to mark the site of the ancient
Eiamite acropolis of the city. The
excavations have produced most as
tonishing results. Here the explor-
er found superimposed, one above
the other, the remains OF three
cities. the oldest dating back to B..
G. 1000, and below these the signs
of older settlements of prehistoric
ages.
The recent discoveries show that
far more than a thousand years pri-
or to B. G.. 1900 the city was occu-
pied by the Babylonians, and that
most of the kings of that country set
up their monuments in it. When the
powerful Semitic dynasty of Baby
lonian kings contemporary with the
age of Abraham was overthrown, the
Elamites regained their independ-
ence and retained it until B. c. 649,
when the city was sacked by Assur-
,banipaI, king of Assyria, who de-
stroyed the palaces and temples.
