Completed Job Too Well --- When Age Succeeds Youth When Age Succeeds Youth Patience of Married Man Port Resembles a Jungle Praise of the Automobile VOL. 21. NO. 10. Completed J Some time since a business man in a town near this city was going to leave his office for the day, and thought it was a good time to have the place renovated. Calling in a painter, he told him to putty up the cracks, paint the door, and otherwise make the place more presentable. Then he left. The door of the office was an old-fashioned affair, and in view of the fact that every new tenant had removed the lock and put on a new one, the surface looked as if it had been used as a target for rapid-fire practice. The keyhole that was doing duty at the time was about the size of a buck-wheat cake. The painter looked at the job in dismay for a moment, but, seizing his wad of putty, he soon had the cast- The change in this matter of growing old, since the time when the lady of 38 felt herself too ancient to wear a flower in her cap, is interesting. It is especially interesting at that dreadful moment when we first realize that we are ourselves no longer young. It is an extraordinary moment; pain, denial, rebellion, hopelessness. It arrives in many different ways. It used to come with spectacles—but nowadays the babe wears spectacles; sometimes it creeps upon us with a little stiffening of the joints; one does not run upstairs quite as lightly as one could. It may even reveal itself in the impatience that is felt because people do not speak quite as distinctly as they should—an impatience to which the younger generation rudely refers At the close of the morning service those members of, the congregation who lingered to exchange friendly greetings were treated to a nice exhibition of masculine patience, says the New York Press. They saw a man tie a woman's veil. It took him just eight minutes by the church clock to do it. The woman had wrestled with the refractory ends of the dotted gauze for five minutes before he undertook the job. "I can't do anything with the thing," she finally said in disgust. "I always get it drawn too tight across the face, it flattens my nose. See what you can do with it." "All right," said the man, and set to work. The loitering worshipers stopped posing and watched the proceedings. It was a sight worth waiting for. "Gimme a match." A prisoner in the hold-over in the city jail pressed his face against the grating and called to a man passing by. The call for a match comes from out of the holdover fifty times every day. About 95 per cent of the men and women who find their way into the city jail are smokers. They have tobacco, or usually a few cents with which they can buy it. They seldom buy matches, though, because spending money for matches by a man who has but a few cents is considered extravagance. "You can't imagine how many ways the prisoners contrive to save and get matches," said Jailer Emmons. "I have seen forty prisoners light cigarettes from a single match. On a day when matches are scarce a prisoner will never think of wasting a whole match. He will split it up into four This stretch of the Thames from London bridge to the Albert docks is to other watersides of river ports what a virgin forest would be to a garden, says a writer in the Metropolitan. It is a thing grown up, not made. It recalls a jungle by the confused and impenetrable aspect of the buildings that line the shore, not according to a planned purpose, but as if by accident, from scattered seeds. Like the matted growth of bushes and creepers velling the silent depth of an unexplored wilderness they hide the depths of London's infinitely varied, vigorous, seething life. In other river ports it is not so. They lie open to their stream with quays of broad clearings, with streets like avenues cut through thick timber for the convenience of trade. I am thinking now of river ports I have seen, of Autumn, for instance, of Oh, others may talk of the joys of the dance When the music is dreamy and low. Or the thrill of delight when the sail is unfurled. And the wake is a smother of snow; Or the pleasure a canter on horseback affords.

After covering the door with a dose of paint, he gazed on the job with pardonable pride, and then, shutting the door, which fastened with a spring lock, he wandered home. It was some time after the moon had gone down that the business man returned and went to the office. Pulling out his key, he tried to insert it, but for some reason the usual result was not forthcoming. Once he sought the abundant aperture where the key was wont to enter, but there was nothing doing. Next he struck a match to take a look, and then he talked too fast for publication. The painter had not only plugged up the old keyholes, but also putted up the new one, and the tenant was shut out in the cold zeo world.—Philadelphia Telegraph. as deafness. These are gradual intimations that we are not as young as we were. There are abrupt ones—especially there is the glance into the mirror some morning, after a sleepless night. Probably every woman over 45 has known the start of astonishment and dismay that comes with that glance—a creased and tired complexion, dull eyes, wrinkled throat; well! these symptoms need not be cataloged, they are too unpleasant. The woman who has had this slight shock before breakfast glances with a growing comfort, for as the day passes things change; her face is more alert, her eyes brighten, her double chin is, somehow, firmer. No; it was only fatigue from a bad night, not age, no!—Margaret Deland in Harper's Bazar. The woman was tall and the man was short, and while she bent and ducked he balanced himself on his tiptoes and tilted backward and forward and sideways in his effort to adjust the veil becomingly. At last, after much arduous toil, he succeeded in draping it to his own and the woman's satisfaction. Then he asked for the pins to fasten it in place. "Merciful goodness!" ejaculated the woman. "What's the matter?" asked the man. "What shall I do?" she wailed, "They are in my mouth. I can't get at them. You'll have to take the veil off." Being in church, the man did not say much. He took the veil off, but it was potted by the interested observers that he did not put it on again. pieces. This can be done easily with a pin. Then he announces to the crowd that he is about to light a cigarette and a crowd gathers about him with papers and tobacco. The man strikes the match with great deliberation and those who can't light up' from the match do so from the lighted cigarettes of the others. Everybody gets a smoke off of one match. Those on the outside of the cells are accommodating to those on the inside. "The women, too, often want matches. The women are in a separate apartment, but there is a small hole through the door between the two rooms, and it is nothing uncommon to see a man hold a lighted cigarette up to the hole in the door so a woman on the other side can get her light."—Kansas City Journal. Nantes, or Bordeaux, or even old Rouen, where the night watchmen of ships, elbows on rail, gaze at shop windows and brilliant cafes and see the audience go in and come out of the opera house. But London, the oldest and greatest of river ports, does not possess as much as 100 yards of quays upon its river front. Dark and impenetrable at night, like the face of a forest, is the London waterside. It is the waterside of watersides, where only one aspect of the world's life can be seen and only one kind of men toils on the edge of the stream.

THE APPEAL. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.. SATURDAY. MARCH 11, 1905. HOW GEN. NELSON A. MILES ESCAPED DEATH AT THE HANDS OF CHIEF LAME DEER A Of the many narrow escapes which Gen. Nelson A. Miles has undergone during his eventful career as an Indian fighter on the plains of the West, the one which he remembers perhaps better than all others is the incident which brought him the nearest to death, when, in a moment of conciliatory conference, he sat, mounted on horseback, shaking hands with an Indian chieftain who, together with his tribe, had been surrounded and forced to yield by the general and his following of cavalry and infantry. Gen. Miles had spent months in effecting the subjugation of the different western tribes, and had succeeded in bringing them all under the yoke of submission with the exception of one particular brave and villainous chieftain called by the Indians "Lame Deer." One morning in May, 1877, Gen. Miles, with four troops of cavalry and six of infantry, and also an additional following of many of the Indian chieftains and scouts who had joined the troops in expression of their willingness to remain peaceful, started out in the direction which it was known Lame Deer and his camp had taken across the plains. morning, the cem.

PLAN OF GARNEGIE TEGHNIGAL SCHOOLS The plans for the Carnegie Technical Schools to be erected in Pittsburgh have been announced. The buildings will cost about $5,000,000 and will occupy a site of thirty-two acres adjoining Schenley park. Andrew Carnegie has pledged himself not only to erect the buildings, but to equip and endow the schools. The School of Journeymen and Apprentices, which is to be the first of the group of schools in which men and women will receive instruction in scientific and industrial pursuits, is adapted to the night instruction of students. The school will offer a system of instruction for the further education of apprentices already at work in the trade, who will receive technical instruction, coupled with the practical demonstration necessary to their ultimate advancement into the ranks of skilled mechanics. The course of instruction will be so 1—School of Journeymen and Apprentice School of A THIS A DEMOCRATIC DOG. 1—School of Journeymen and Apprentices. 2—Administration Buildings. 3—Technical School for Women. 4—School of Applied Design. 5—School of Applied Science. Not Ashamed of a Master Who Happened to Go to Jail. Albert Rhodes was arrested last night in Clinton avenue south, says the Rochester Post-Express. Rhodes had an Irish setter dog, but Policemen Gibbons and Hazel did not notice the animal. They sent Rhodes to headquarters in the wagon. After the wagon arrived at headquarters a dog was noticed at the front door. It whined and was admitted, but was afterward ejected by Lieut. Klubertanz. A few minutes later the dog ran around to the patrol barn and was admitted. It sniffed the air and bounded into the patrol wagon. Not finding its master it set up a howl and was ejected. During the night the officers were disturbed by the dismal howls and barks of the setter. This morning the dog was admitted and made its way to the cellroom and when Rhodes' cell was opened the dog bounded in, leaped upon the inmate and showed extravagant joy. Rhodes, followed by the dog, came into the police court. The dog stood between Rhodes' legs in the courtroom and when Attendant Hart approached snarled and harked. Defective Page morning, the cavalry squadron, with Gen. Miles as their leader and followed by troops on foot, dashed from between the hills near the Indian chieftain's camp, and, a few hours later, swiftly fell upon the little village of wigwams lying upon the plain. At the first sortie upon the encampment a sharp fight ensued and a number of the Indians and soldiers fell. In the first clear light of the daybreak a little company of Indians found itself separated from the rest of their followers and surrounded on all sides by the troopers. At a signal from the general the cavalry ceased demonstrations of hostilities, and with a "How-how-kola" (meaning friend) the general himself rode forward and extended his hand to Lame Deer, who was among the group of those surrounded. It was a risky attempt at reconciliation, for the eyes of the Indian showed fierce and glaring with rage, and in his right hand at his side he grasped a loaded carbine, which could be used on the instant with the greatest effectiveness. However, Gen. Miles rode straight up to this untamed chieftain and amicably insisted upon taking his hand in sign of reconciliation. arranged that the students will have an opportunity to acquire familiarity with materials, knowledge of the basic principles employed, and of mechanical and working drawings, elements of physics and chemistry, and a familiarity with new materials and the most modern tools. In addition to the school named there will be a School of Applied Science, School of Applied Design, and a Technical School for Women, of which the following is a general description: The School of Applied Science is so designed as to administer to the needs of such a school, operative for both day and night students, and for the training of young men over sixteen years old during the periods of two or three years, for such callings as draughtsmen, inspectors, foremen, engineers' assistants, and numerous other positions above those of the skilled mechanic, where intelligence ntices. 2—Administration Buildings. 3 Applied Design. 5—School of Applied S Wonders of Watchmaking. M. Favre-Peret, who investigated this industry in the New England states some years ago, says the Annals of the American Academy, stated that the average production of 40,000 workmen in Switzerland was forty watches each per annum, while in America the average was 150 fine watches for each man employed. By the aid of special machines in these watch factories one man can make 1,200 fine screws per day, some of which are so small that more than 100,000 are required to weigh a pound. One of the finest pieces made is a "pallet-arbor" or pivotal bolt, which for a small-sized watch has a thread of 260 to the inch, weighs 1-13000 of a pound, undergoes twenty-five operations and costs but 2½ cents. Measurements are guaged to 1,25000 of an inch. The balance wheel, after being machined, weighs only seven grains, and when fitted with sixteen gold screws weighs 7.2 grains; there are eighty separate operations upon a balance-wheel, sixty-three of them being drilling, threading and countersinking holes; the drills revolve at a speed of 4,800 turns a minute, and one operator can drill upward of 2,200 holes for the balance wheel per day. For the fraction of an instant it seemed as though the hostilities were to end then and there. Grudgingly the chieftain received the proffered sign of peace, and stood waiting in sullen but submissive silence, though every nerve in his bronze-covered muscles was tense and quivering, and the old man still maintained all his suspicion of such conciliatory measures. The incident seemed to betoken a propitious ending, when on the instant, an over-zealous trooper, who had been fighting in the rear, dashed up on horseback, and decrying his general shaking hands with the wily and armed savage chieftain, coolly raised his rifle to his shoulder and covered Lame Deer with the muzzle. His action occurred at some distance from the leaders, but the eagle-like glance and shrewd and swift comprehension of the Indian chief perceived it, and at once believed that his whole force was to be shot down. With the swiftness of lightning he jerked his hand from that of Gen. Miles, and at the time of him, the fire as the weapon hung at his side, with remarkable accuracy, at the American general. In the brief interval between Lame Deer's first hostile movement and the shot, Gen. Miles had whirled his horse around, and the animal settling upon his haunches in the movement shifted the position of the general. The action saved Gen. Miles' life. The bullet from Lame Deer's rifle sped through the space which an instant before had been occupied by the General's body and pierced the breast of a trooper sitting mounted just in the rear of the general, killing the man instantly. The shot from the chief was the signal for an attack by the troopers upon the little group of Indians; an attack which was over within a moment, leaving all the band lying either dead or wounded upon the prairie. Had it not been for the instant intuition of Gen. Miles and his sudden shifting of position on horseback, the bullet which whizzed close to his head and passed through the heart of a soldier in the rear would have ended his existence then and there. and technical information are more essential than manual dexterity. The Technical School for Women is designed for giving instruction to both day and evening students. The school will be stricly practical in character, and will have for its principal aim the training of women to earn their livelihood. Its purpose will be to give to them a technical training or special skill in various subjects, which will increase their earning power. There will be practical instruction in millinery, dressmaking, etc. The School of Applied Design is designed to accommodate classes in the design, technique and mechanical processes of the various art industries specified. The purpose of the school will be to instruct those who aspire to become skilled workers as well as designers after a reasonable amount of experience, who are familiar with the industries' technical requirements.

The daughter of a most excellent family, which had great ambitions for her socially, "felt called" a month or so ago to be a nurse. Soon afterward she was searching through the big jewelry houses for a watch. She had watches, but not of the kind nurses carry. She had been told that she must have a watch with a second hand with which to compare puse beats. In a store where they almost charge for breathing she asked sweetly for a "second hand watch." The clerk stared in amazement. "Yes," she insisted, "I want a second hand watch." "We do not deal in them, Miss—" said the manager, who had known her when she was a very little girl, and her mother before her. "I beg your pardon," snapped the young woman. "I have been mistaken in the impression that this was a first-class establishment. Good day." This scene was repeated at several other reputable jewelry houses before a young clerk divined what kind of a "second hand" watch the young woman was seeking.—New York Sun.

Chief Requisite of Opals Billiards an Old Game Necktie Very Off Color Rum Omelette for Him Early one frosty October morning when the little Nimrod was sitting in a crevice of the mountain's side basking in the sun he espied way down in the valley three grizzlies, says a writer in the Metropolitan. From the former trailing he had done he knew them to be a great male and two females as his mates. As the boy watched them he say that they went off in different directions, one ascending the face of the opposite mountain, while the other two worked their way around either side of its base before commencing the ascent. As he watched them he noticed that while the bear that was climbing up the mountain's face took things leisurely the other two were going much faster and that they were heading up toward the back of the mountain. The lad, wondering what the bears were about, began to scan the mountain and discovered a band of bighorn sheep feeding on the mountain's front very near the top. Standing Wolf felt sure that something of in- Veins of opals are usually met with in soft formations, where nothing above ground indicates their presence. The search for them, therefore, often requires considerable time. But, it is not extremely difficult, for opals are generally found near the surface. Indeed, it was thought for a long time that they were not to be found as deep as twelve feet below the surface. This opinion has, however, given way in the light of evidence, because opals of great value have been discovered at a depth of fifty feet. The value of opals depends upon several considerations, of which the principal one is the color. It is important that they should be bright and not present streaks or spots alternating with uncolored substance. The most valuable are those which have red fires or mixtures of red and yellow, blue and green. Opals of a single tint are of little value, unless the tint is particularly striking and the figure beau- The game of billiards may hyl claim to great antiquity, for in "Anthony and Cleopatra" Shakespeare makes Cleopatra say: "Let us to billiards;" and so, unless we accuse the great poet of error in chronology, we have traced the game back to a period before the Christian era. In early times a similar game was played on the grass or turf with stones, and later with balls of lignum vitae and other substances. How to apply the right "twist" or "English" to the cue ball is one of the most interesting and important elements in the art of good playing. In early times only two balls were used, and each player sought simply to pocket the ball of his opponent. The red ball was introduced as a novelty to keep the game from dying out. As time has gone on the game has had a varied development in different countries. In Spain they play with three balls and five wooden pins are set up in the middle of the table. In Russia they play with five balls, two white Jean Burnett, Assemblyman from Ontario and chairman of the cities committee of that body, is known as the best dressed man at Albany. He came to New York on Saturday, returning to the capital yesterday. His visit was for the purpose of buying neckties, and he took back with him enough of these—all black ones—to stock a haberdashery. Tuesday night last he attended a fashionable reception at the Governor's mansion. The music was mellow, dreamy, heart singing, divine. The men looked superb in their evening dress—the women with their diamonds and rosebuds flashing from throat and hair, were entracingly beautiful. But where was Burnett? The minutes sped along, a cab appeared and Burnett got out. The usher at the door shied at him, the guests tittered, the governor looked solemn. Presently the governor took This is the true story of how a Mississippi editor kept his New Year's resolution not to drink vicious, malt, distilled or other variety of intoxicating beverages. On or about Jan. 3 he came to town with a small hand satchel and the good resolution not to drink aforesaid. In a short time he found himself at a table in a restaurant with a party of congenial spirits. The congenial spirits were partaking of spirits equally congenial. Only the Mississippi editor was adhering to a glass of cold, repellant, unsympathetic ice water. "Have something to drink," suggested one of the party. ed one of the parly.

After awhile, when the lower bear, the only one now in view, had climbed to a point which revealed him to the sheep, they became restless and began to ascend rapidly. Whenever the bear was seen to quicken his pace the big-horns would at once quicken theirs. Up, up, up the rugged precipice they scurried and ever faster followed the bear. After an exhausting ascent of the steepest cliff on the mountain's side the band gained the top and for a second rested. Then, as two great forms rushed out among them, confusion seized the herd and they dashed away in all directions, many beating panie-stricken over the precipice. A moment later, after having killed the couple they had seized, two grizzly bears that had ascended the back of the mountain waddled forward to the edge of the cliff and stared down at their accomplice feasting upon a sheep that had been mangled upon the craas below. tiful. Indeed, one of the essential qualities of the opal is the arrangement of the figure, which sets off strikingly the hue of the stone. When the figure is quite regular and distinct it is the more valuable, much less so when the grain is quite small and irregular. Sometimes the color appears as a single blaze or with figures regularly spaced. It may then be of a fine ruby red, and is much sought after, but oftenest the uniform tint is only green or reddish and has little brilliance to speak of. The cutting is very important for the opal; thus a thick stone will be much less beautiful than a thin stone, which, on losing part of its volume, loses also the figure. The foundation tint contributes much to the beauty. It ought to be transparent, slightly milky and harmonize fully with the different reflections of the opal, which, when it is really beautiful presents a variety of hues infinitely pleasing to the eye—Jewelers' Circular. and a red blue and yellow one The English game is played quite differently from the American and French games. It is a combination of the American games of both pool and billiards, being played on a table having pockets, as in an ordinary pool table, and the points as scored in both of the American games being counted. The French and American games are played with three balls upon a table without pockets and only "caroms" or "caroms" are counted. In America the game of billiards has undergone a rapid development on account of the great skill acquired by American players. Early in the last century the game was commonly played with four balls upon a pool table, more or less like the present English game, for both pocketing the balls and making caroms were counted, but in time this style of playing proved so simple that a table was adopted without any pockets in it—and caroms only were counted.—Outing.

"Say, Jean," he said, "you are a mighty handsome fellow and you are generally up to snuff when it comes to conforming to the proprieties of social occasions, but what do you mean by wearing that red necktie with your evening suit? Better borrow one of mine." Burnett walked to the glass, poked his nose near it and surveyed himself and then pailed until his face was cruelly white. "Honest, governor, is this tic red?" He was assured that it was. "Then I am gone color blind. I imagined it was a black one. Sure I did," apologetically.

Everyone knows that no two things are equal or alike and separate schools are no exception to the rule. As all distinctions are odious, when he says: "I am in hearty sympathy with the Afro-Americans in their great struggle for higher and better things and in perfect accord with the Roosevelt idea that every man should have a square deal regardless of race or color. But the local conditions are peculiar." He juggles with the truth in a very reckless manner. The "blushing mayor" of Richmond, Va., is making a great war on the nude in art and business too; he has decreed that no picture shall be exhibited within the boundaries of the city if there happens to be in it the figure of a woman not fully and conventionally clothed. He ordered the theatrical posters torn down where they curtained women in tights. Then he went for the corset and hosiery dealers who had corset forms and female "limbs" in their windows to display their goods. In the meanwhile a lot of other things of some importance and much more detrimental to human beings are not noticed at all. Marion Longfellow O'Donough of Washington, D.

I think he has written some very beautiful things in his 'Lyrics of Lowly Life,' and has borne his honors modestly."

"Most men who own a good watch," said a jeweler, "think they know all about it. They have the number fixed in their memory in case it is stolen. They could probably pick it out from fifty other watches with their eyes shut. But how many men know their watch is a compass and will ten miles from south as accustomed to it. Stanley, the explorer, did not know it until he had搽 his way through the dark continent and met a Belgian sailor on the coast. Every watch is a compass. If you point the hour hand to the sun the south is exactly halfway between the hour and the figure XII on the dial. Suppose, for instance, it is 4 o'clock. Point the hand indicating 4 to the sun and 11 on the watch the hand indicating 8 to the sun and the figure X on the dial is due south. No man need get lost if he carries a watch." Do You Remember? Do you remember, little wife, How years ago, I had love illumine life Sat morning and love illumine life In sunny days or winter weather? Do you remember how we two Would sit into each other's eyes, The sun would shine blue, And speech was lost in happy sighs? Do you another thing recall, How I was then then; How simply passing in the hall, We'd stop to smile and kiss again? Do you remember how I sat Through the rain in mine, Caressing it with gentle pat— One pat for every blessed line? Do you recall while at the play Through the rain in mine, Caressing it with gentle pat— One pat for every blessed line? Ah, me years years and years ago All this happened that I sing. And many a time the winter snow Has slipped from olive slopes of spring. And now—oh, nonsense; I use tell; You'll hide your blushes? Tit not.

New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons. A Political History of Slavery," by Wm. Henry Smith, is an elaborated story of the controversy over the slavery question over the early days of the 18th century to the close of the Reconstruction period in the United States. There is no introduction by Withelaw Reed which tells which Smith's career and which gives quite an extended criticism of these two very instructive volumes. strategists Top Molts. In reading certain chapters of this book one might easily imagine that the revolt against the Revolution were again being enacted in the United and elsewhere throughout the country. The events which led up to the war with Germany are thus described by the author: Dismark prepared the war, Napoleon III wanted it, the great inconvenience on. They might have stopped it by an earnest gesture. M. Thiers contented himself with a grim. He in the war our certain ruin; he knew our terrible inferiority in everything; he could have felt it. In Chapter L, the author says: "If there one thing clearly established it, I there should be formed the Constitution; who, recognizance with Christian civilization, inconsistency for which the colonies had contended, and which constitute the basis of our Republic, should be formed a great charter a name so republicative to freedom. We must conclude that they were not in no sense dependent upon the management of that day. There was no state feeling that it was injurious to society in no sense dependent upon sectionalism, and certainly confidently expected: emancipation was to be the rule. This came early northward, and it was supposed to suppose that if there had been no inhibition of the African slave trade, emancipation would have been Maryland, North Carolina, Kentucky and Vol. II. opens with a chapter on "The History of the United States," "In the history of nations weak rulers are treated with respect. They become powerful in opposition; they impel governments and real enemies to human progress. When Mr. Ricchian was brought face to face with the United States, he and overthrew the government he construed the fundamental law to be necessary, and he created, executive, imagine Andrew Jackson, the executive, leader of the government in the United States, and engaged in the work of disunion have been successful in the House? Would they have belied him? CIVIL WAR TIMES One of the most interesting chapters in the evolution of the Confederacy toward the "Negro Soldier." The author tells us that, during the Confederacy, the man mourn favored the enlistment of black soldiers; that the matter was finally resolved; that bill authorizing the enlistment of Negro soldiers was but one vote of that of Senator Hunter. But one vote of the desperate circumstances of the Confederacy saw the doom of Richmond and the "cause," a draft order was issued to force the black soldier to fight under the Confederacy, made effective, the fall of Richmond, and made effective, the fall of Richmond, and this chapter is especially at hand under its banner. This chapter is especially very interesting chapters in the book. The style is clear, uninhibited, and the author has written instructively. ... HISTORY OF THE COMMUNE OF 1871. History of the Commune of 1871. History of the Commune of 1871, by Eleanor Marx Aveling, New York International Publishing Co. translated from the French of Lissagaray of 1871, translated from the French of Lissagaray ten volume of history, dealing with one of those political convulsions: which have no frequent shock France, to its found- ment. The translator has performed the diffi- cultive translation of the grammatical and pointed style of all French which Lissagaray appears to be a master. The descriptive art of the author never was forgotten, and the chapter of this book of extraordinary happenings. History of the Commune of 1871 was the culmination of French weakness and imbecility— the culmination of a criminal torpor that had been so strong that it followed swiftly upon the heels of its predecessor. Sol陋s under that preface of military strategists Von Moltke, the pioneers of this book, one might easily imagine that the revolting crucibles of the Revolution were again brought to the country, and elsewhere throughout the country. events which led up to the war with Germany are thus described by the author: "Bismark prepared the war, Napoleon II had to leave Germany. They might have stopped it by an earnest gesture. M. Thiers contented himself with the war, he knew our tertile inferiority in everything; he could have fought our certain run; he knew our tertile war our certain run; he knew our tertile nativists have made mappable to them the folly of the attack, and supported by their allies, he said to the Tulieres, to Paris if needs it, to the impossible; we shall combat it as treasured: 'Poor France! Who will save the? The humble, the poor, who for six life-saving nests their nests under the Empire. 'While the upper class sell them for a few hours of rest, and the liberals empire, a handful of their nests under the unprotected, rise up against the still all-powerful despot. On the one hand young men, a handful of the people, faithful children of the Revolution; on the other hand workingmen unite for the study and conquest of rights, labor. In vain the empire of France forces, to reduce the workingmen." The author then follows up with a description of the contending factions which finally burst forth in all the horrors of the world. Paris, Marselles, Tooloue and Narbonne have taught human slaughter houses in this fraternal struggle which for madness and unrest has imparted parts in the history of the human family. Many new events—that is events which are not part of the period are brought forward by the author, in his work which considered either from a Literary or historical viewpoint the achievement of no inconsiderable merit.

A large, mixed audience completely filled the seating capacity of the hall. The work of the choir on, "Hush!

The mandolin solo and piano by Bryant was exceptionally good and received hearty applause. The soprano and contralto solos of Mrs. W. M. Smith and Mrs. B. F. Pierre were excellent as were also the baritone and tenor solos of Mr. Anderson and Mr. F. C. Nelson, while the quartette "Good Night Beloved," by Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Smith, Mrs. W. C. Jeffrey and F. C. Nelson was very finely rendered. Miss Manile Weir's reading was only another proof of the very rare which she possesses as a dramatic character in the drama, and an very amusing little shadow act, entitled "Box and Cox," by Mrs. Jenkep, Messrs.

BIGGEST SHOW ON EARTH That's What the Varsity Circus and Messenger is—Don't Miss It. The World's greatest indoor circus will be given at the University armory next Friday and Saturday. March 10th and 11th. Three performances will be given with a complete change of program for each performance. The circus will be given under one of Ringling Bros.' huge tents within the armory. There will be three rings, four bands of music and five hundred performers. Fourteen elegant displays have been arranged besides an after concert, side shows and a wonderful menagerie, containing all the animals known in captivity; the wonderful white elephant, the blue cow and the tall giraffe with a knot in his neck. Among the side show attractions will be seen Wang Chow Chow, king of the opium smugglers, who was captured at San Francisco through the disloyalty of his subordinates. He was surrounded by tenteen revenue officers, the chief of the service, and even then he would have escaped, but not been brought by a blow from a crowbar on the back of his head. Three men were killed in the encounter and not a man escaped uninjured. His countenance resembles a cross between a corkscrew and a scrambled egg. Wang Chow Chow will be on exhibition at every performance of the big show. Other attractions are the wonderful Louisiana mud man, who cannot live a moment out of his pool of mud, Uncle Sam's pet chicken, the glass eating newsboy, etc., etc. Society will turn out in force to attend this big show, many society people having already subscribed for reserved seats. Gov. Johnson, Mayor Jones, Mayor Smith and Hon. W. J. Bryan are to be present. All who miss the great show will miss one of the greatest opportunities of seeing a big show that was ever offered.

Among the side show attractions will be seen Wang Chow Chow, king of the opium smugglers, who was captured at San Francisco through the disloyalty of his subordinates. He was surreptitiously captured by teen revenue officers the creature of the day, even then he would have escaped had he not been brought down by a blow from a crowbar on the back of his head. Three men were killed in the encounter and not a man escaped uninjured. His countenance resembles a cross between a corkscrew and a scrambled egg. Wang Chow Chow will be on exhibition at every performance of the big show. Other attractions are the wonderful Louisiana mud man, who cannot live a moment out of his pool of mud, Uncle Sam's pet chicken, the glass eating newsboy, etc., etc. Society will turn out in force to attend this big show, many society people having already subscribed for reserved seats. Gov. Johnson, Mayor Jones, Mayor Smith and Hon. W. J. Bryan are to be present, who miss the great opportunity to miss one of the greatest opportunities of seeing a big show that was ever offered.
