Bitter Attacks Marked tle First | Appearance of His Books. { Just over fifty years ago a genius, the worth of whose writings, accord: ing to Mr. FredericsHarrison, is equal to that of any three thinkers put to. gether, was being violently assailed on all sides. This genius, Jolin Ruskin, had in a series of articles expresgd his views on political economy and social reforms, and it was the publication of these articles in The Cornhill Magas- zine, then under the ediforship of Thackeray, that caused the storm to break. "It is no pleasure," wrote one critic, "to genius mistaking its power and rendering itself ridicule." "Eruptions of windy hysteries," Yab- solute nonsense," "ufter imbeeility," "intolerable twaddle," 'a perfect para. gon of blubbering," "his whines and snivels are contemptible --such were the denunciations hurled at Ruskin's head, while one super-critic added that it was "an act of condescension" on bis part "to argue at all with a man who can only write in a scream." In newspapers all over the country the attack was carried on, and so sulagonistic di everyone seem to the articles in The Cornhill that after the publication of the third they were stopped. And the feeling against Rus. kin's articles is farther illustrated by the fact that when, two years later, he collected them into a volume entitl. ed "Unto This Last," the first edition of 1,000 copies was not exhausted in ten years, Ruskin, however, was an optimistic prophet. "It will sell some day yet, you'll see," he wrote to his father, shortly after the publication of the book. His prophecy, has literally come true, for to-day hundreds of thousands of copies of "Unto This Last," "Time and Tide," "Fors Clavi- gera" (letters to a working man), and "Munera Pulveris" books which . gee the industrial wars of the last few years--are being sold. As evidence of the steadily-growing popularity of Ruskin's works of late years, it might be mentioned that from 1886 to 1900, when he died, Ruskin re- ceived Bo less than $250,000 royalties on his books, and since then over $120,000 hiss been paid to his estate. "It is not easy," said Mr. Hugh Al- len, a member of the famous firm which originally published Ruskin's works, "to estimate the number of copies of Ruskin sold every year, on : account of the fact that since various | copyrights have lapsed other publish. } ers have issued them in cheap edi. tions. But popular editions issued by us of such books as 'Unto This Last,' 'Time and Tide,' and 'Sesame and Lilies' have long since passed the han. dred thousand mark, and these books are selling more rapidly every day-- and selling to men of the working classes, "The interest that working men take in Ruskin to-day is really astonishing. A couple of house painters were renc- vating iny house a short time ago and one of them asked if he should grain a certain door. To have done so would have meant spoiling the whole of the artistic decoration, and I asked if he had never read Ruskin's views on art and decoration. "'Of course I have,' he promptly replied, 'so has my mate. I mere sug: gested a grained door because that is what people generally ask for.' It then transpired that these two men, inspired by Ruskin's teachings, in- stead of going to Margate or Southend when their hollday came round, were in the habit of going to Munich, Dres. den, and other art centres, and study- ng art." - Raskin would have been delighted to know these two men, He loved the 'working msn who thought for himseld, and he loved the man who, no matter how small and insignificant was his part in life, did his level best, and thus belped to build up the per. fect state. Speaking of individualism, he wrote: "All effectual advancement towards true felicity of the human race must be 'by individual, net by public, effort. Certain general mea. guide, such advancement, but the measure and law which have first to he determined are those of each man's home," It was because people, however, years ago regarded Ruskin as s painter rather than a prophet that they re- fused to treat his views on social science and political economy serious ly, telling him that every cobbler should stick to his last. And yet which they ridiculed, have not otily proved to be right, but they Hiave ¢ome to be acted upon by modern politicians and employers, fu "Unto This Last," for instance, Ruskin pleaded for national schools at Government coat, technical lasses, | CANADA'S DESTMY, | | ' practically forecasted the causes Gf sures may aid, certain revised laws M.

Bertilland believes the French Canada is to become ultimately an independent. French republic, "Fhe statesman who wrought fabric wi your Dominion," sa the "Sidney Brookes of France' "are worthy of high praise for their con. wil lr policed; but" theif handiwork He contr stril the wok foredoomed to destruction by war. rifig forces far more potent than could bé endured by the artificial bulwarks of Government. I have gone into the matier thoroughly. I have conversed with representatives of every class in your conglomerate population. After all this, the only opinion 1 can offer candidly is that yourireams of a umt- ed Dominion, let-alone a united Em. pire, are merely folly. "Vhat has the habitant of thy St. Lawrence valley in common with the fishermen of tha Fraser? Nothing. In fact it wouid be difficult to imagine two types more essentially different in creed, race and point of view. "Furthermore, there can be no reconciling the conflicting interests of this great country. Your western farmer clamors for reciprocal trade with the United States, and he will. net sacrifice permanently his material prosperity on account of a policy of selfish protection fathered by Cana- dian vested .interests. British Colum. bia's Imperialism is the bugbéar of Nationalistic Quebec. What in the one case means self-preservation, in the other signifies taxation without representation. "This viewpoint is novel, I admit," continued M. Bertilland, "but 1 look merely at facts, tendencies and anal- ogies. This great country will work out its destiny through a process of economic and political evolution. Many years may elapse before your litical rhapsodies are disillusioned, ut the hour of destiny is certain, French Canada will be a great repub. lie, including not only the two and a half millions of its people, and alse the two millions of co-religionists and vo-linguists in the United States. The middle western provinces will become States of the American Union, and British Columbia will evolve from a stage of dependency upon British nav. al protection to be either an Asiatic colony of a peity independent king- dom." Mr, Bertilland will write a series of articles for Parisian papers on his so Suilied findings of conditions in Can- a. Rede on Duke's Train, One of the characteristics of the Duke of Commaught, whether at home in Ottawa or on the road, is to take a walk before breakfast no matter what the weather may be. In this connec. tion H.R, H. himself tells the story of an incident at Port Arthur in the ear. ly stages of his transcontinental tgur To SPpretiate it one would have to hear the duke himself state his ex- perience, but it is good enough to repeat secondhand. The vice-regal car had been sidetracked for the night, away down in the railway yards, and when the duke arose in the early morning he was the first of the party to be up. Starting off by himself he walked along the railway track for half a mile or so and noticed a hig building in the distance. Not know- ing what it was he made up his mind to ask the first man he met. He had not been walking more than. five minutes before a man came along, walking to the west, and the follow. ing convensation ensued: The duke: "Good morning, sir, will you be good enough to tell me what building that is in the distance?" The other man: "How the should T know. I'm a stranger here myself. 1 was thrown off the train last night." Then there ensued a conversation as the result of which the man who was jthrown off the train was taken to ianbieg in the royal car and there joined 1 harvesters' party, with which he had left Nova Scotia. --Star Weekly. Money In the Bank. A glance at the Beptember bank re. rt shows that Canada has money in the bank.

His name is Smodden, and he hails from Calgary. He has a map showing where to find the buried wealth. He got it, he says.' from a man who got it from a woman who got it: from her sister who got it from her husband, now dead, an old sea captain, named Richard Trevan. Nobody knows exactly where Cap- tain Trevan got his information, bot there is in exsience another map that i almost certainly authentic. This is the one in possession of Captain Hackett, who sailed from Puget Sound a few weeks ago in the schooner Hes- per, bound for Cocos Island with a great amount of hydraulic mining ma. | chinery. Captain Hackett's map was drawn by the man who buried cone of the treasures. Cocos was a resting place for pir- ates in the old days before 1700, when piracy Ylourished and the Spanish main was a land of marvellous wealth, There are Auditions of hidden wealth captured fro panish ships and lo- cal towns, bot nobody seems to know where to find the hiding places. With the modern treasuré, however, it is different. i This is in two parts. One part con. sists of money and bullion and jewels sent from Pera in 1820, and is valugd at from $200,000 to $10,000,000. Peru was in danger of invasion, and the valuables of Lima, the capital, were entrusted to Captain Thompson, of a merchant brig, the name of which was either Mary Dear or Mary Dyer. Ac- cording to one story, Captain Thomp- son turned pirate himself, sailed with the Peruvian treasure to Cocos Island, and there buried his ill-gotten gains in a secret cave. Afterwards he joined forces with the notorious pirate, Ben- ito Bonito, who, for a few year®, was as terrible a sca-rover as any of the seventeenth century. But Benito and most of his crew were soon well pun- ished for their sins, and Captain Thompson, late of the Mary Dear, or Dyer, was the sole ew ok save one other. In 1844 he made known his identity to a man named Keating, who fitted out an expedition in New. foundland. Captain Thompson died before the expedition started, but he left a map and exact directions for treasure finding. The expedition went out, and Keating and Captain Bogue of the treasure seekers' ship, landed and viewed the treasure, which they found with the aid of Captain Thomp- | son's map. But there was mutiny on board ship. Keating and the captain tried to escape in & small boat with all the treasure that they had collect. ed, but the boat was overturned in the surf.' The captain was drowned. Keating was picked up by a schooner two days later. His own ship sailed home without any treasure, Keating died about forty years ago, while he was preparing for another expedition to Cocos. He left his map with his wife, who was then a young woman, and who, twenty-five years or so later, set out in "partnership with Captain Hackett on the unsuc- | cessful expedition of 1804. The trou- ble is that the map points to a part of a rocky cliff over which there has been a land slide, so that the mouth of the cave--if there is a cave--is cov- ered by tons of earth. Hired Man and His Bank Bills. As a Winnipeg financial journal points out, the "hired man" plays a part in the tight money fituation which féw people recognize. The western farmers have been withdraw. ing money from the banks in big bun- dles to pay their hired men and to defray the various expenses of their harvesting. This money does not go back into the hands of the banks as quickly as money® which is paid out in the ordinary way in the east. The hired man rolls this money up, puts it in his pocket and keeps it there until after the harvest is over and he returns to Eastern Canada. When he gets back home he puts it in the of ped it is once more available for general p es Thia feature adds to the scarceness of money at this time of the year. It is usual to say that the money is re- quired for moving the wheat. This is a general phrase, and means much. The hired man and his "wad" are a feature which simply accentuates the general situation. The hired man commences to return east about No- vember first. Autos In Western Canada. A point that strikes the visitor to Western Canada is the great number of motor cars in town and country. There are fully 10,000 motor cars and tracks in the three prairie provinces. Manitoba has 4,150. Baskatchewan is said to have at least 3,000, and some le claim that it has as many as anitobs. Alberta has fewer than Manitoba or Saskatchewan, but is buy. ing eagerly. The increasing prosperity of farmers has led them to buy many automobiles; some firms state that they sell as many new card in the country as they do in the cities. Of Manitoba's great number, Winnipeg has 2,350. . pri $1,000 to $2,000, but quite s num? wr of heavy cars have been bought. Big Salmon Shipment.

In addition to lending their approval to the proposal, they warmly praise the efforts being made by the association to combat the ravages of consumption. It is appar- ent from the wide interest being taken in the plan to devote ope Sunday to a consideration of this important sab. | ject that a great forward impetus will} be given to the movement, and it is probable that the observance of the day. will be made an annual event in the churches, Through the Hon.

It describes him al. most better than a photograph could. In the apt phrase of his native tongue you get the nonchalant, free and easy manner, which has won him hosts of friends. Hon. Louis Coderre is comparatively a new man in Parliament, though he is by no means a noviee in public life and politics. A stubborn fighter for his party, he accomplished a feat which many older and more experienc. ed men might not have accomplished, winning Hochelaga from the Liberals, who had held that constituency for fifteen years, and that by the astound. ing majority of 1,373 votes over Mr L. A. Rivet. Hon. Mr. Coderre has advanced very rapidly, being still quite a young man; in fact, few people would take him to. be 47 years old. He does not show his age. He 1s not only young-looking, i but he has the heart of a boy of twen- ty. jovial, and quick-witted. Hon. Mr. Coderre has always been looked upon by his fellow-members of Parliament as one of the most able of the French-Canadian representatives He speaks clearly and to the point. ~The new Minister is one of the best known members of the Montreal bar, and for a number of years he has tak- en a very active part in every move ment intended to improve the standing . r The Kind You Have Always Dough BE All Countericits, Imif yo% at Experiments that trifle w!
