Li Hung Chang asks the questions
that occur to e.vecy one on meeting
a stranger, but the Caucasian's obedi
ence to "taboo" prevents him from
asking them. For Instance, the ques
tion of age. Income and ability must
be settled before an acquaintance can
progress far. ,The Caucasian finds out
how old how smart and how rich a man
is by various methods, all of them more
or less indirect. Li Hung Chang's time
Is short with each individual and he
knows, or pretends to know, no usage
against asking anything he. wishes to
know. He asked Queen Victoria how
old she was, he asked Secretary Olney
if he thought he was as able as his
predecessor, he asked a railroad mana
ger the amount of his salary, and
when the official refused to tell him
Chang repeated the question, and his
victim wrote the amount on a piece of
paper. Every one must have noticed
the salary which a railroad official re
ceives Is a most delicate secret never
to be hinted at in the official's -presence.
Li Hung Chang in every case says
the thing he should not. and leaves un
said the things he should. State and
railroad officials are tumbling over
each other to get out of his way. Presi
dent Cleveland, always a close follower
punctilio, granted the viceroy an au
dience of fifteen minutes and arranged
it so that immediately after the intro
ductions were over the leave taking
should begin. Chang was being driven
back to his hotel in the time that he
had planned to ask Cleveland If he
thought he had made as good a presi
dent as Harrison, or whether he. was
a, democrat or a republican, and if so,
why so? Even Chang's oriental rusts
were foiled by Cleveland adherence to
convention. The country was waiting
for Chang and Cleveland to meet,
Cleveland knew it, and Chang never
touched him.
John Currie says he and St. Gauden's
were boys together. Referring to St.
Gauden's statue of Lincoln in Lincoln
park.-Chicago, John Currie said: "I
told him he had got it in a very poor
attitude, why-hev looks as though be
were standing before a police judge, so
bumble and.dowocast." St. Gaudens
replied: "Well, John, before you get
your statue of Lincoln dug out of
marble you will find how difficult it is
to get it to stand right."
"I have jest as much to bear of de
traction and unjust criticism as he
bad," Mr. Currie said, "and I shall pay
no more attention to it than he did. I
am going to make as tine a statue of
Abraham Lincoln as there is in the
United States, and when I get it fin
ished the people will say so. I am not
going to set up any bogus piece of work
in spite of what those who criticise me
say. Other sculptors have come here
and tried to compete with meand I have
run them out justtas I willall tho6t who
have said my work was poor. An for.
models. I do not need any, I am going
to cut this statue out of the marble
itself. Artists do not need models."
The reporter quoted the well known
words of Mictuel Angelo, who liked the
clay model of his idea better than the
finished form of it in the marble. 'The
clay is life, the plaster is death ard the
marble is the resurrection," Michael
Angelo said, but John Currie thinks he
must have been daft to spend so much
time drawing the bones and the muscles
of the body and then to waste still
more time in making a clay model when
all he needed was a chisel, a mallet and
the marble to work on. "There is no
such thing as a master," Mr. Currie
said, "all a man needs to accomplish
anything he wants to is senBc and abil
ity." After having met and talked with
John Currie there is no longer any
doubt but that he himself believes that
he is a sculptor and that he can make a
statue worthy of earthly immortality. He
is in command of the situation and he
can break up the marble in his posses
sion or use it for bis own monument or
give it over to the committee, whatever
that is, that Governor Holcomb ap
pointed. Whatever he does no one has
a right to anything more thaa a protest
unless it bo the stoneman in Tennessee,
and he has shown unmistakable signs
of dumbness.
Evidence that Miss Cathcr is at work
on the "Home Monthly" appeals in the
September number of that magazine.
"The Count or Crow's Nest" is the Btory
of a boarding house that shelters a
gentleman of France. He has a daugh -ter
who singp light opera and does not
appreciate the reason why her father
will not sell his letters from courtiers .
kings and king's favorites to publishers
who would, in exchange, turn bis
squalor into elegance. The daughter's
cold blue eyes gleam with the selfish
ness that killed pore Goriot. "The
Count of Crow's Nest" is a continued
story and in this number is without
action, but action or not the chapters
are interesting with description and
allusion. """

The picture of Jeannette L. Gilder in
the September number of The Book
man gives one a start. Her writings are
very well known in the newspaper
world. She has a column or t-o in the
New York World and in the Chicago
Tribune every week, and she conducts a
department in The Critic called "The
Lounger," but I did not know she
looked like this. The Bookman says:
"Miss-Gilder? makes the 'startling state
ment, for a woman, that she has never
worn evening dress in her life and never
expects to. Life she considers too short
for fussing over dress. The other even -iig
when she was invited to a literary
"At Home" "I will go," she said, "if
you will let me look on from behind a
screen." Miss Gilder certainly bears no
evidence of the fussing woman, and
manifests few outward signs of her
strenuous and indefatigable career.
Everyone in conversation finds her the
most genial, good humored, and amus
ing of fomen. The portrait, which is
printed in The Bookman, shows Miss
Gilder dressed in a sack coat, a neglige
shirt, and unstarched, turn over collar, a
black silk belt, short hair and an im-
men6e chatelaine fastened to the belt
on one side and a chain with pen knife
and keys dangling from it, attached to
the other side. Her arms are crooked
with her finger tips' placed lightly on
her belt in the favorite position of a
trapeze artist writing to do his turn.
The only evidence of coquetry about the
square serious figure is the rings she
wears upou her fingers.
