"Sable Island belongs to Novla Scotia , I ;
115 miles from Halifax and eighty-five mile1
east of 'Cope Canso , writes Gustnv Kobbo' It
AInsIec's for February. "It Is a treeless
Ehrubless wnfite , seamed by wind'and wave
and of ever changing aspect. A cone-shape * '
hill near the east end , once a mere unJnla-
tion of sand , ' Is now over a hundred feel
high .and Is still growing. Other hillock :
are gradually being mowed a-.ay by storms
The hillocks am liable to be undermined sc
Ewl'ftly and swept out of existence that thej
nre-carefully watched from the various sta
tions on the Island , there being "no cer
tainty how far an inroad of the sea will ex
tend after each successful attack. Even tin
coarse grass of the Island grows In a dif
ferent manner from that of the mainland
It docs not bear seed , but Bhuutsup frorr
roots' which run along under tbo ean.d. Dur-
j liij ; the winter the sand Id blown over tin
gracs and buries It sometimes three .or foui
feet deep. But the hardy blades grow ni
next'fceas.011 as if the Inland sands had pid
teeted them from the cold of winter in oidei
J to make them nil the stronger.
"the island itself Is fiRhllnt ; for self
preservation. It seems as If It drew ship1
Into.Its fatal embrace as rallying points f.Ji
j Its looeo and Khlftlng sand , thus to protec
I itself by a Tiulwnrk of wrecks against an-
( nlhllatlon by the sen. Tradition sayn tba' '
[ when'Sable. Island was dlscoverc. ' . by Caboi
In 1417 It was eighty miles long nnd tor
miles wide. In 1S02. when a rcscuo Etatlor
was established there. It was only fort :
miles long. Since then It has shrunk to Im
' little more than twenty rail ? * In length
and In width It U only a rnllo at Its widest
t Within twenty-eight years the western em
j lost seven miles. Shoals over which tin
ocean now surges aic pointed out as formei
sites of llRhthousis. One of these was s <
I swiftly undermined by the sea thnt It hat
I to be abandoned v , lib the greatest precipi

I porlntcmlcnt's house Is now under tw <

RCSRIN IN YOUTH AND ACE
Sidelight ! on tbo Character of th Great
English Writer ,
PRECOCIOUS INFANT AND LOVESICK BOY
Fcnlnroi of 111 * I.Iff n Critic n l
Author llelntlon * wllli Three-
Cnrorr ni Col-
ProfenMir ,
Precocity was the distinguishing note ol
all Ruskln's childhood. It was In 1S2G , nt
the ngc of 7 , says the New York Tribune ,
that he produced that first poem of his which
has been preserved. H wm like him to
\vrlte It from beginning to end In ft flue ,
painstaking hnnd , with no vlslblo erasure *
and only one misspelling like n mediaeval
i author 'scribe anil there Is something very
! mediaeval In the absence of capital letter. '
and stops :
Among the rushes lived n mouse
with n p.retty little house
made of rushes tall nnd hlcli
thnt to the skies were heard to sigh
while one night while she wns sleeping
comes n < loR thnt then was iweplng
uml hnd found her out In spite
of her good wnll Jor there his sight
was letter thnti our mouses HO
she was obllced to yield to foe
when frightened wns the dog Just then
at the scratching of n hen
u of In- ran and little mouse
wns left In safety with her house.
Altogether , he must have been ono of the
most extraordinary children that ever de >
lighted and puffed up the heart of n parent
Soon after the poem of the .Mouse , ho began
keeping a diary , which , however , was onlj
half n diary , taking the form of a serial
story. John himself being the principal char
acter , under the name of Harry , and enjoy
ing the. comradeship of a Muter , who wns nl
that time purely Imaginary , for It was nol
until later that the girl cousin came to share
the Ruskln home. Then he took n keen de
light In his Latin lessons. Moreover , he be
came Interested In geometry from almost th (
llrat lesson , which wns the more remarkabli
because his mathematical teacher did not
as his Latin teacher did , make htm laugl :
with funny Illustrations and remarks ot
the subject.
All this , though , seems more consonant
with the popular Idea of the maturcr Rusklt
than does the story of his early affair o ;
the heart. The lady , Miss Adcle Clotlldc
lomcc ( ] , was l. > and John Ruskln was 1'
when she. with her parents and three sis-
tcrs. visited the Huskins. Her father was
the elder Huskln's French partner In tin
wine business. She was a bright , fair haired
bnlf-Fjencb. half-English , convent-bred girl
who found the solemn , precociously learned
awkward youth prodigiously "drole. "
Iti tin * Hole of I.ovor.
Ut.skln's mother was terribly afraid o
an alliance between her son and a youni
woman of alien religion , training and na
tlonallty. But there was no real danger
for the boy's very earnestness and persist
tncy ruined his chances In the wooing
He wrote "Leonl , a Legend of Italy , " li
her honor , as well as several other levi
pi ems "to her eyebrows. " Thcti he trlei
Jo win her favor by distinguishing hlmsel
In the only field for which he was qunllflei
by nature. ' Adele Clotllde Dcmecq was tin
Immediate Incentive of Ruskin's first pub
llshed .literary efforts , but his brilliancy
when it censed to make the girl laugh , woi
him only , her reverence. In 1840 , after i
second -visit to England , she returned to he
own country and married the Baron Du
quesne. Such was Ilusktn's first and grea
love.
It was characteristic of the man's over
strung nervous temperament that his dls
appointment In love resulted in serious 111
ness. At thnt time ho was an undcrgraduat
of Oxford a fellow commoner of Chris
church but this Illness compelled him t
quit the university. In his later life Illnes
often resulted from cntich less serlou
( roubles. Mr. Jowett , In writing of his asso
ciatfot : fa n printer with the publishers o
Hazcll's Magazine , tells how Kuskln tool
to heart a piece of clumsy typographlca
work the printing of the syllable "stock1
at the end of Part II of the author's "Ulrlc' '
and the other syllable "Ings" at the begin
ning of Part III. After one protest frorj
Rusk in there was a silence , followed b
this note :
"My Dear Jowett : That unlucky extn
worry with Ulric was just the drop toi
much which has cost me a month's palnfu
Illness again. "
Of course , it must bo borne In mind tha
the writer of that note wae then , as a mos
always , an extravagantly overworked man
But he was nlso the enthusiast of fine manu
scripts and glowing Illuminated prayc
books of the middle ages who , having bough
a fourteenth century "Horace" at some stal
"In n back alley , " compared its possfssioi
to "carrying about a Gothic cathedral li
your pocket. " In 1S45 , when he visited th <
Grande Chartreuse , the whole place build
Ings and all the Immediate surroundlugs-
wns a disappointment to him.
But thin was the period of hl wrltlni
"Modem Painters , " and the mountain
round about were no disappointment. Hi
tells , In "Praetcrita , " how , as ho was belm
shown through the monastery by a monklal
cicerone , "leaning on'a window sill , I sail
something In the rtyle of 'Modern Painters
about the effect of the scene outside Upon ro
llgioiiB minds' . " The monk severely told bin
that the brethren "did not come tbero ti
look at the mountains/ which rebuki
Ruskln boweJ In silence , 'out Inwardly h
wondered , ho says , "What do you come hen

Ills career as an art critic had been be
gun In some fashion when , in his under
| gradunte days , ho flrat publicly took up thi
I cudgel In behalf of Turner against n crltl
In Blackwood's Magazine. Ruskln's fathc
took the manuscript of his son's defense o
Turner and sent | t to the painter for hi
Inspection and approval before It should bi
sent to Blackwood's. The article never go
to Blackwood's , however. Turner cooll ;
packed It off to the purchaser of the Ve
netlan scene which bad provoked the un
favorable ecmmcnt.
And neither that nor any of his eubse

Kuskln EO far succeeded In his advocac ;
of Turner's art that the older Ruskln be
cuir.o a convert to Turncrism and bough
freely of his works. But the proud , eolf
reliant English painter Is nnv.-hero records
as having cxprcbued even perfunctory thank
to his advocate.
Ruskln'g enthusiasm wns Turner's work
not the man. Ho showed this In most char
acterlmlc fashion at his firm escape from th
condition of pupilage. Ac the eon of n rlcl
nmn , bis father gave him at the cloao a
Ms Oxford career u separate bachelor OK
tabllshmcnt of his own , with an allowanc
of Jl.OOO a year not on Illiberal allowanc
for an English youngster In the early for

to buy Turners , was not a llttlo shocked
perhaps grieved , being a canny Scot , a
j John's extravagance In devoting a largo par
of his first year's Income to the purchus
j of Turner's "Harlech Cnstlo , " to adorn J.I
own rooma In London. This exploit , how
e\er , was no meio youthful squandering g
money , but a fair exhibition of the man'
deliberate beliefs as to the right use o
worldly wealth.

This period of Ui'ekln's ' llfo verges upon
the noonday glory of his Slado professor
ship of the fln6 nrt at Oxford , whore he
spent his health upon fiipererogntory labor *
and his money upon benefactions to the
university art gallery and the beginnings of
the St. George's guild. The Idle , or at most
merely ornamental , life to which so many
of the young meu there looked forward with
complacent resignation grieved him. DrawIng -
Ing , of course , was In his view not In nny
sense n merely ornamental occupation. To
n promising undergraduate member of his
drawing class who came to tell him that
the pressure of university "schools" would
oblige him to discontinue his art studies ,
ho said , with nn expression of profound
horror : "And for that. Mr. L , you ro
resolved ii | > on moral suicide ? "
'The HlnUc > - Dlnulnu' . . "
"Tho Hlnksey Diggings" still remains and
will long remain among the liveliest Oxford
Huskln traditions. For some rcnfion con
nected with parochial red tape , n certain
road In the neighborhood of the university
city was allowed to remnln almost Impas
sable to wagons , much to the Inconvenience
of the farmers and cottagers thereabouts.
Prof. Ruskln resolved that , ns so many
undergraduates were prevented from attend
ing his draw'lng ' classes by the Imperative
nccerslty of open nlr exercise In the nttcr-
ncon. they mght and should tnko their ex
ercise with benefit to their neighbors. Ac
cordingly , ho laid In n supply of digging
Implements and set an example of rend
mending Invhlch many of his "disciple * "
among the gowned youth were ashamed not
to follow. So , after much tribulation the
Hlnksey road was eventually made lit for
use" and Oxford learned n lesson.
Though perhaps not an accomplished fore
man of a. road gang , ' Uuskln was , according
to his own account , still less an accomplished
courtier. When the princess o Wales visited
the university the Slado professor of the
fine arts wne , of course , presented , and was
expected to give her royal bigness much In
teresting information on his own ppeelHl
topic. In the drawing room of the deanery
of Christ Church , after a dinner given by
Dean LlilJell. when the princess stopped to
say her appointed "few words" to Ruskln.
he. In characteristic fashion , burst Into lam
entations about the Indifference of the under
graduates to the holy art of drawing n few
girls really forming the strength of bis
classes , he said. The princess could not well
either dispute the professor's position on art
at Oxford or cordially sympathize with his
strictures on the university Just then and
there. All she could do wns to smile and
pass on to the next "don" on her list. And
the effect wns somewhat embarrassing for
Ruskin and for everybody. But among the
"few girls" of whom he had made nn hon
orable exception were the daughters of the
denn Alice ( "Alice In Wonderland" ) , Edith
and Rhoda. Very soon after the professor's
somewhat unfortunate Interview with the
princess. Miss Rhoda , the youngest of the
three , entered the drawing room , fresh from
the skillful bands of the nursery tiring
woman. All eyes turned to the door , where
this vision of adolescent feminine loveliness
appeared , and Disraeli , who was In attend
ance upon the royal party , stepping toward
her with one of his own DIsrncle < que gest
ures , took her by the hnnd : "This Is , 1 un
derstand , the young lady In whose art edu
cation Prof. Ruskln Is so deeply Interested. "
That .brought . laughter to the rescue.
From about thnt time , through the last
twenty years of his active life , Ruskln went
on working , metaphorically speaking , more
and more with a pickaxe for the ends he held
sacred , and thereby made , with many en
thusiastic disciples , many half-contemptu
ous enemies. Punch had this versified com
ment upon one of Ruskln's sharpest reproofs
to indolent wealth :
To the Heavy Swell :
An- you what Huskln says you are
The parasite ot your own cigar ?
The H. S. :
I don't think much of Wuskln's Joke.
Old WuFkin has no need to simoke.
For weeds Ills mouth's not wnjim enough ;
He's always got himself to puff.
