ART AND LITERATURE
The work of restoring the famous spire
»nd turrets of Salisbury Cathedral, Eng
land, which has been in progress during
th/S past two years, is now almost com
; :> ted, and it is expected that the scaf
folding will soon be removed. The work
has been carried out under the direction
of Sir A. Bloomfield, and in a recent re
port to the special committee he in
formed them that the turret at the
northwest of the cathedral was in such
a bad state that it was necessary to
take it down.. It has now been rebuilt.
The work, Sir A. Bloomfield said, was
one of great difficulty, but has been ac
complished in the most workmanlike and
satisfactory manner. Every stone that
could be reused appears again in its
proper place, new stones being intro
duced only where the original stonework
had been crushed, broken, or eomixised
of such small stones as to be unsafe. The
turret staircases at the four angles of
the tower, which have to support so
much of the enormous thrust of the
spire, has been thoroughly repaired and
strengthened. On all four sides defect
ive masonry has been taken out and re
placed by new stones weighing in some
cases more than a ton. The foundations
of the south aisle and of the west side
of the south transept have yet to be re
paired. Altogether the cost of the work
will be about £15,000, a sum which the
dean and chapter are securing with
difficulty. The deficit at present amounts
to abut £1,600, and contribution- to that
amount are awaited with some anxiety.
Tolstoi is the subject of a long letter in j
the 'Temps" of January 20, written from j
Moscow by Andre Beaunier. He reports
the Russian as still absorbed in his phil
anthropic and religious activities, hav
ing now* reached as lofty a scorn for
' science for science's sake" as he had b- J
fore expressed for art for art's sake.
The trouble is that he can make nobody
understand him. He cries out to his
fellows: "Why, open your eyes and look,
it is as clear as day!" but they remain
as blind and puzzled as ever. This Tol
stoi admits, and this is what he, on his
side, cannot understand.

A life of Maupassant is in preparation,
a joint work of French and English col
laborators —M. Hugues Rebell and Mr.
R. H. Sherard. The work is to be crit
ical as well as biographical, and w ill in
clude many of Maupassant's letters.
French and English versions will be
published simultaneously.
• * *
Another important work of c ntinental
derivation is set down for early publi
cation —an E.iglish tiansla'i n. from th?
hands of William Aicher and Miss Diana
White of Brandes' lectures, or essays,
on Shakespeare.
The Almanach de Gotha is not a di
rectory of artists, but if you look there,
not having Princes and Princelets at
ycur fingers' ends, you will find under
"Sweden" that there is a "Prince Eu
gene Napoleon-Nicolas,' 'and that he
has the right to call himself the Due de
Nericie. The "Eugene" and the Na
poleon" recall the Bernadotte origin.
The Nicolas is a compliment to a rather
aggressive neighbor—Russia.
There have been Kings and Princes
■who have written books. Generaby they
were bad and poor, and the fraternity
w ho wield the pen for a living have been
by no means courteous to these royal
authors. But people with royal blood
in their veins have rarely been artists.
That most worthy and estimable lady,
Queen Victoria, had at one time artistic
aspirations, but such authentic works of
hers as have l>een shown are about as
good as ordinary schoolgirl work. Prin *
Albert had certainly artistic p roeptions
and was a good judge of pictures, but he
never put down his ideas with pencil or
paintbrush. The pn sent royal family of
England has an art taste, shown more
paitieularly in the female line, and cer
tainly one member sketches fairly well,
though modest—as she should be—as to
her artistic claims.
There was, however, the late King of
Holland, who really could produce a
good water color which had spirit and
force With what delight the good and
genial Alexandre Dumas pere would
show to some intimate friends the
.ketches the King had made from the
seen sof 'The Three Guardsmen! One
was The Taking of the Redoubt," and
Dumas, to whom the King had given
his pictures, would tell glowingly of his
illustrious "compere," his own "cher col
lal>orateur."
We have no opportunity of knowing
whether the German Emperor of to-day
is a painter of distinction. This has not
vet been asserted. Still, it is probable
and may be shortly expected to become
known, for he is many-sided.
ln the last number of the "Studio,"
Tor Hedherg writes of the landscape
art of Prince Eugen of Sweden, and !
there are some five illustrations tak -n
of his works. In pursuit of painting
Prince Eugen went to Paris for two
years, "working eagerly in the studios
of Gervex and Bi.nnat." and then stud
led at home, having for master the
well-known Swedish artist Hugo Saini
son. According to Tor Hedberg. Prince
Eugen, who first exhibited in IStll. is
considered, "both at home and abroad,
as one of the leaders ot swetiisn iami-
BCnne painters." As far as the well
worked-out illustrations in the "Studio"
< an give a conception of color and out
line. Prince Eugen's work is excellent.
There is no attempt at overpowering
effects. What is designated as "A
Summer Night in Sweden" is pleasant
ly inspired. It shows a broad river
or estuary; with forelands jutting Into
the water, and a long extended penin
sula. There are jarring lights. It is
a quiet, soothing and poetic conception.
Why should there not be a white
blackbird or a Swedish Prince who
paints?
More private letters of Queen Vic
toria are about to appear in a London
auction mart. One is addressed, in
German, to the Duchess de Nemours,
and another, in French, to the King
of Holland. Another "lot" is a letter
written by her majesty on mourning
note paper, shortly after the Prince
Consort's death. At the same sale
several letters written by Byron to his
wife, at the period of the poet's sep
aration, will be brought to the ham
mer.

The manuscripts Daudet left behind
him include, besides .several short sto-
Ties and pages of personal reminis
cences, a novel, entitled "Quinz Ans
0O -Manage." The great novelist often
sp"ke 1., his friends of a book he pur
posed calling "Ma Douh-ur," which was
to be the last he would publish—an
account of his own sufferings and a
study of other famous writers afllicted
with ill-health. Large portions of this
work, if not the whole of it, are un
doubtedly completed.

One of the most conspicuous figures
about the Library of Congress is Paul
Laurence Dunbar, who has made so
creditable a reputation as a poet. Mr.
Dunbar is employed as one of the As
sistant Librarians, and has charge of
the division of medicine, mathematics
and the natural sciences. He enjoys
the duties of his position, and all of his
spare time is devoted to studying and
writing. Mr. Dunbar has been more
or less lionized since he came to Wash
ington, and is extremely amiable in
granting the various demands made
upon him. On several occasions he has
read selections from his own works,
and, which is not always true of au
thors who give extracts from their
own writings, he reads with expression
and taste.
PARLOR AMUSEMENTS.
Some New and Lively Games to
Brighten Inclement Evenings.
Parlor games are the order of the
day at country houses, where society
is pleased to lay aside its dignity for
a time and forget formality and ever
ts Sting sameness of the cotillion. Old
favorites there are in plenty, but the
demand for something new is none the
less constant and emphatic. Here are
a few that met with the favor of a
popular hostess of the hunting set,
who entertained a large party at her
country place last week.
The constituents of a good-looking
and well-known politician would have
been very much surprised if they could
have seen him at this same house party
sitting on the rloor playing "potato, '
He lives in an uptown apartment, and
his rumored engagement—but that is
another story and intended for the
society column. Anyway there are
four rows, six in a row, of raw Irish
potatoes. Four people were called out
at a time and each assigned a row. The
object was to pick up with a silver
spoon each apple of the Emerald Isle,
and, walking the length of the room
with it. to deposit it safely on a plate.
A difficult matter, indeed! And great
is the temptation in a crisis to give the
potato a little shove with the linger to
anything one may hold in the other
hand. This, however, would cause one
to be 'ruled off the track." At the end
of three minutes "time" is called and
the four contestants give place to four
others, after the potatoes have been
arranged again. When every one has
had a trial the prize is awarded to the
one who has the largest number of po
tatoes on his plate.
Palette is the name of a game that
has found favor . A good sized black
board is provided. Names of birds and
animals are written on folded slips of
paper. Each guest is called in turn
and selects a paper. What he finds
written here he must draw on the
board. The less he knows about draw-
Each player is in honor bound not to
tell what his paper contained, for the
prize is awarded to the one who has
guessed correctly the greatest number
of animals drawn.
At a recent party I saw a young wo
man who devoutly wished she had paid
mere .attention to her drawing master
when at school. She had to draw a
bear, and she concluded to assist her
fellow guests by trying to suggest a
well known advertisement. Amid wild
laughter, most people decided it was a
chicken on a fence.

if possible, is blindfolded, so that he
may not receive any information, even
inadvertently, that is not mentally tel
egraphed. He is brought into the room
after the company has decided whu.t
they wish him to do, and every one
fixes his mind on the matter. Not a
word must be spoken, and the "sub
ject" must give himself up to any im
pulse that moves him, after having put
all thought of himself away. The re
sult is apt to be that he does as they
will he shall.
I witnessed a Very interesting affair
of this kind last week. It was a very
stormy night and the head of the house
Bent forth an edict that the young peo
ple should amuse themselves the best
they could. They concluded to try
thought reading. There was a popular
writer in the party and he was chosen
medium. A young woman with whom
he is seen very—but that is another
story and none of our business. Any
way, she was blindfolded, and they told
her they were going to hide her watch
and she must find it. Some one sug
gested the ticking would guide her to
it. so they put her out in the hall till
they made other arrangements.
Finally the medium opened the door,
put both hands on her head and led,
her in. At first it was impossible to do
anything with her. She explained af
terward that her mind refused to rest,
that she heard the watch and wonder
ed if they had not decided, after all,
to have that, to make the test greater.
They fixed their attention and
brought every mental force to bear up
on her. At last she slipped from the
medium's hands and almost sat on the
tloor at his feet. She touched the bot
tom of hi s trousers, and as he had
just come in out of the storm they were
wet. She shivered slightly and drew
back. Five times she did this before
they could make her take from our the
fold of the upturned trousers a tiny
photograph frame.
They were delighted with the exper
iment, especially as he had called their
attention to the damages the wet cloth
would do to - the electric current." But
he felt certain that he was en rapport
with his subject and even this could not
interfere.—Xew York Herald
