4 Novel Undertaking.

About year ago Hon. S. T. Suit, of
Prince Georges County, Maryland Gre
Gently elected State Senator), well
known in New York and Louisville,
started project to complete the Wash
ington monument on his own RESPONSE
bility. For the information of those
who have lost sight of him for some
years, it may be stated that this gentle
man has gone into Embarrassing, and has
the largest. fruit farm in the country
10000 trees, among which are the enorm-
Gus number of 1900 cherry trees and
1900 ounce trees, the remainder being
mostly peaches. He has also large
vineyard. Mr.. Suit not long since pro-
posed to the Washington Monument As
ISOLATION to raise 100000 to complete
the monument at Washington, which for
twenty years has been standing dis
grace to the Nation. On the 4th of this
month, his offer was accepted. He came
to this city and ordered hundred tin
boxes, silver plated, and is trying to en-
ploy seventy-fve ladies to start for sub
scriptions with seventy-fve of these
boxes. His idea is to get these ladies to
act In Philadelphia during the Centen-
NAL. He proposed that the city and
Centennial buildings shall be districted,
so that hotels, boarding houses, dwell
ings and all public places will be sup
piled with boxes, with the request on a
card that each person therein put in one
cent, or as much more as they like, the
proceeds to be taken from the boxes
each day by the Treasurer of the Wash
ington Monument Association, who
alone shall hold the keys to the boxes.
This is rather curious idea. but Mr..
Suit has so much faith in it that he says
he has already expended So, 100 in the
effort without having collected cent OF
asked for money. Mr.. Suit says he in
tends to complete the monument in the
way he has indicated, asking the Asso-
citation only for the salaries of the ladies
and the money he actually expends on
vouchers, and his whole mind seems to
be wrapped up in the project.

Show Us the Cows Horns.

A farmer at Cohoes, N. Y, dreamed
thathe was feeding his COWS, the other
night, and that suddenly one of them
reached over and whispered in his ear,
"I am going to set fire to this shed. !"
He says that he looked at the COW in as
tonishment, but she kept on repeating
the same words over and over again un-
til be awoke, and his dream was SO Wv
idly oefore his minds eye that he went
out 10 the barn to see the COW that told
him she would set the barn on fire. He
went cautiously into the stall of the
would-be incendiary, and, strange to re-
late, he discovered blaze of light In
the manager. He still thought he was
dreaming and punched himself, but it
was useless he was wide awake and
there was fire. He rushed for a pail OF
waite. that stood by the door and soon
had the fire out. That beats Mrs.
O'Leary's COW clear out of time.

MIR. Beecher,s Paper in Trouble.

After a hard struggle through many
difficulties, the Christian Union Pub
fishing Company has collapsed. The
paper itself still lives, but in future will
be published by a new company. A few
months before the Tilton-Beecher trial,
the editor of the Christian Union print
ed sworn statement to the effect chat
the circulation was over 125, 900 copies.
The advertising patronage was large,
and the concern was prosperous. The
publishers were John B. Ford & Co.,
who likewise po1lished all Mr.. Beech
er's works, including the "Life of
Christ During the trial the circula-
ton of the paper diminished gradually.
Within year the paper has lost 100, 600
subscribers, and to- day the circulation
of the Christian Union is within 25, 900
copies. John B. Ford & Go. became
bankrupts, and Mr.. Cleveland was ap
pointed publisher. The latter left the
concern few days ago, and Horatio @.
King became the publisher. A short
time ago, it being necessary to. raise
money or stop the paper, and as none
was forthcoming from the stockholders,
the managers resolved to sell the
Christian Union Publishing Company
out, bankrupt it, and make a fresh start.
A new company therefore has been
formed this week, with a capital of
$40, 900, to carry on the publication of
the paper.-.NeaO York Times.

An Infant Prodigy.

Harry Shannon, of Anacosta, Va, is
the last infant prodigy. He is not quite
seven years old, and recites with appro-
pirate gestures and elocution, and with
out any prompting, ''Emmett's Last
Speech Before Execution" Hannah F.
Gould's " Along the Sands. z Mrs. Nor
toms 'Bingen on the Rhine, and many
more speeches and poems. His memory
is remarkable, retaining whatever is
read to him at a single hearing if it
strikes his fancy. He is said to have
blonde hair, dark eyes, and a wel-bal-
anced head. He is free from timidity or
the bashf1lness common to his years.
His parents are preparing him for
career, intending to put him, as "rec
itationist |" early before the public.
They are taking most efectual way to
ruin the little fellow-the common fate
of precocity. A straight jacket is the
proper remedy for the parents, and
plenty Of open air, healthful exercise and
but Little book-learning for the child.

Paper Carpeting, Etc.

French manufacturers have method
of rendering paper extremely hard and
tenacious by subiecting the pulp to the
action of chloride of zinc. After it has
been treated with the chloride it is sub
mitted to strong pressure, thereafter
becoming as hard as wood and as tough
as leather. The hardness varies accord
ing to the strength Of the metallic solu-
ton. The material thus produced can
be easily colored. It may be employed
in covering floors with advantage, and
may be made to replace leather in the
manufacture of coarse shoes it is also
a good material for whip handles, the
mounting of saws, buttons, combs, etc.
A great deal is used in large sheets for
roofing. Paper already manufactured
acquires the same consistency when
plunged, unsized, in solution of the
chloride.
