over 300. 900. and these beautiful halls are so
crowded with books. that there is n decided
demand for a Library Building. which fulfllment
is a question of a very short time. Now, lest

Won Humboldt said, there was the most rarely
beautiful civilized view in the world" We can
only point out a few of the most prominent feat
ures, and then close this already extended letter.
Immediately below is West Capitol Park, where
in some of the old forest trees have been merci-
fully spared. This park is enclosed along its
broad avenues by a heavy work of stone, upon
which, at short distances, is a most sarcophagus-
looking ornamentation. Looking above and
beyond this unhappy effort is seen the large
Conservatory, and grounds of the Congressional
Gardens, in which is placed the BarthOldi foun-
tain, so familiar at the Centennial Exposition.
Farther yet is the stately Smithsonian Institute
then comes, in the range of vision, the Agrlcul-
tural Buildings; still a little distance is the
Washington Monument; beyond this is the
White House; and near by the Executive Man

upon these varied objects of interest, the Potomac
bounds all like a wide bordering of silver.

II ROTUNDA,

Is a magnificent apartment occupying the CEN
trail portion of the Capitol. 1t is 81 feet in
diameter, 300 feet in circumference, and from
floor to dome is $50 feet. Eight largo historic
pictures line the wall of this grand room, each
in a panel Is feet by II. 1t is quite the style to
abuee these old paintings; especially is the
TRADE bitter if the selfappointed critic knows
nothing of art, but the Trumbull series are espe-
cially priced as portrait data. Charles Dickens
said when here, that no country had such a valu-
able national portrait gallery.
In truth through the great industry Of the
soldier artist, we have at least a fair record of the
features of every commander and statesman of
g the days that tried mems souls" Above each
picture is a basso-relievo of rich arabesque pat
tern in four of them are medallion heads
Columbus, Cabot, Sir Walter Raleigh and La
Sale. Above the architrave is a sunken space
about nine feet. Sig. Brurmidi, the indefatigable,
but venerable artist, who has for nearly thirty
years been earnestly engaged in identifying the
Capitol with glowing %frescoes, is now engaged in
illustrating upon this frieze with the first hun
dred years of American history. His work is
advancing rapidly, and his figures stand out in
such relief, that it is scarcely possible to realize
the work is not in stone. A short distance above
this frieze are thirty-six windows, then the dome
begins TO arch. 1.-THE Apotheosis of Washing
ton" in the dome, is also by Signor Brumidi,
and is an allegorical picture of much interest.
1t is full Of suggestiveness, and has rare merit in
its drawing and delicate tint. 1t is not gener-
ally approved. Through the west door of the
Rotunda, the

THE CAPITOL

The Capitol is situated upon Capitol Hill,
and rises IN full view of the surrounding country.
1t covers an area of three and a half acres of
ground and some idea of its vastness NAV be
attained by knowing that the long corridors on
the ground floor measure $50 feet. As near
as may be estimated it cost IL millions of dollars.
The Eastern front is generally the first entered by
the visitor, and almost invariably the East CEN
trail portIco. Upon this portico the President of
the United States is sworn in by the Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court.
Standing for a few moments on this portico,
the eye takes in the beautiful plateau known as
East Capitol Park. \ few years since this was
a well-presCrVed grove Of old trees, where weary
statesmen were glad to stroll and where children
played. The mighty trees have fallen, fit pro-
totypes of many of those who sought their CRATE
full shade. Now, broad sinuous paths, with
glazing curb-stOnes, interlace each other grass
plats, well cared for, rest the eye lastly, bronze
vases arrest the loiterer, gilded lamps of mingled
design and curious workmanship stand as stately
sentlnels, and there are promises of playing foun-
tainS. In this park, Immediately opposite the
central door Of the last front, is Horatio Green
ough's statue of Washington. This colossal
statue has attracted great attention, and has a
history which is well worth giving a few mo-
ments. 1t was ordered in 1882, to be placed id
the centre of the Rotunda, directly under the
statue of '' Freedom > upon the dome, as directly
above the vaulted chamber in the crypt which
was intended in the original building of the
Capitol. for the remains of the first President.
1t cost very near ~forty-fVe thousand dollars, and
it is a sin to allow it to be exposed to the many
changes of our climate. On each side of the
p%ortico, are groups in MARBLE The Discov-
cry - and :. The Settlement of the Country,"-

Whose fame has reached the uttermost parts of
the earth. This, the main central door of the
Capitol, has pictured in the imperishable bronze
the life of Columbus, and the discovery of
America. l will not attempt a detailed descrip-
ton of this work of art, but simply refer to it as
a great study, both beautiful and instructive.
The door has eight panels, and in each panel is a
volume of historic events. On a panel above the
door is a large picture deity given in bronze of
the g First Landing of the Spaniards at San
Salvador" This chefd'oeuvre was designed and
modelled by Randolph Rogers, in Rome, in 1858,
and cast in Munich by Won Muller in 1861. The
door is II feet high, 9 feet broad, and is set in a
bronze frame or mould about a foot wide. 1t

Come, now, what Internal barbarity
is this-leaving clothes line out after
dark. A great deal Of funny comment
is made upon the custom by thoughtless
people, but 1t Is most serious matter,
and it is high time the tomfoolery was
abolished. We are just as ready as
any body to see the funny side Of a
thing, but we have ceased to observe
any thing amusing in being unexpect-
eddy sawed across the neck or rasped
across the face by clothes-line. II is
time there was legislative enactment
to either hang clothes lines GO feet above
the earth, or make the leaving them
out after nightfall a State-prison offense
1t is most incomprehensible fact that
q clothes-line Is always hung across the
ga,,'en-path. If the yard was 10 miles
square and path two feet wide crePt
along close to the fence, and the woman
had but eight feet Of line, she would
manage to cover the path. Whether
this is because she is perverse, or can
not help it, we do not know. We only
know that il is SO, and that 1t Is an APP
palling evil. No home circle Is safe
where the custom prevails. II matters
not how good-natured man is, it mat
ters not how carefully he has been edu-
Gated, 1t matters not how lofty and no.
bic are his aspirations--the moment a
clothes-line catchs him under the chin,
especially If he has pan Of ashes in
his arms, that moment he sinks with
awful velocity to the level Of brute,
and proceeds to act out the conditions
thereof at once. In its proper place a
clothes-line Is valuable companion,
but across path after dark II is simply
brutalizing force. Danbury NeWs.

The Sting Of Bees Remedy for Rheu.
matIsm.

The Pydeoer Observation-Disclosures
Wochenbtan contains the following in
regard to the cure OF rheumatism by the
means Of bee stings. The correspond
cnt says that his wife having suffered 50
much as to be unable to enjoy any sleep
or rest for the space Of six months, the
right arm being almost lame, prevent
ing the sufferer from doing any house,
hold work, making her even unable to
dress or undress herself, and having
heard that a farmer, quite incapacitated
by rheumatism, had been accidentally
stung by bees, and thereby got entirely
cured, he persuaded his wife to try this
remedy, as the pain from the sting Of
the bees would not be greater than that
already suffered. Three bees were
therefore laid and pressed upon the right
arm for considerable time, in order
that the poison bladder Of the insects
should entirely empty itself. The effect
produced was astonishing, as the lady,
even on the first night, was enabled to
enjoy long, good sleep, the first time
for at least six months, the racking pain
being entirely gone. The arm was, OF
course, swollen greatly in consequence
Of the sting, but the swelling disappear
ed gradually upon the application Of
some cooling lotion. All pain was gone,
the lame arm recovered its previous
vigorousness, and not the least sign Of
rheumatism has since shown itself.

involving the succession to property in
England valued at over $500, 900, 900,
and which promises to become as IA
NOUS as the well known litigation for
the Anneke Jams estate. About so years
ago, on June 10, 1898, William Jen-

leaving immense wealth. At the time
Of his demise, it was stated that he was
worth in actual cash $120, 000,0 900. The
executors made every effort TO discover
the heirs-at-law, but without success.
No direct heirs were found, and the es-
tate was thrown into chancery on the
contest Of certain parties, who claimed
to be distant relatives. In this condi-
ton affairs have remained for almost q
century, and now the old estate has
again become the subject Of active liti-

Practical mothers learn much by their
experience with tho little bodies en-

common sense facts in the physical cul-
ture Of these little ones known to the
more experienced mothers may not come
amiss to those who have had but little
care of children. The foundation must
be well laid TO insure healthy and hap
py children. The child must be well
slept, well aired, well fed and well bath

practice Of these four simple rules,
much Of the physical, mental and moral
suffering in life would be avoided by
parent as well as child. II healthy

The non Mormon women of Utah
have inaugurated a crusade against

other parts Of the U. S. to assist
them in urging congress to abolish

years since polygany was planted in

has utterly failed to enact efficient
or enforce existing laws for the abo-
lition Of the crime. They further

who sits in congress, has four ac-

is composed almost entirely Of poly
gamists and members Of the Mormon
priesthood, and they have thrown
every possible safeguard in their
power around polygamy;; and the
right Of dover has been abolished to
break down the distinction between
