has been discovered that tue Court is
evenly divided on the act, and also on
the constitutionality OF the election

The President had just returned
over the road within two weeks, and
found the finishing work progressing
slowly, on account OF the wet weather
and other drawbacks. 1t will require
ten days or two weeks yet to COM
plete it ready for regular trains, and
when that is done, it must go through
the formality Of being accepted by
the trustees from the contractors.
Even then 1t will not be exactly ready
for the public, for the Carrier Com

which to osgaLize their local agents,
their 'eiegraphs, etc, go that 1t will be

A Romance from far Alaska,

n young man who was in Alaska
some four years ago fell In love with
tho only young lady on the island, a
girl of fifteen, who was possessed OF
extraordinary beauty, and whose hair
fcll below her knees. But he was un-
aole to communicate the "old, old
story" to her, for she did not under
stand word OF English, nor did he
speak Russian. In his dilemma the
arrival OF the priest on his once IN two
years visit was God send, and to him
he made known his love. The priest. .
Knowing tho young man to be possess
ca OF high character and fair for
tune, thought 1t was lucky chance
for the young lady to escape from life
OF such isolation, and he willingly
persuaded the girls mother (hcr father
was dcad) to consent to the match. but
tic young lady herself was not to be
persuaded. She argued that she had
never spoken to the young man who
expressed such desire to be her hus-
Dand, and only seen him twico, and he
had been on the island only torty-cight
days, but her objections were over.
ruled, and the marriage took place.
After living in Alaska for several
months, the young man brought his
pride to his homo in Cleveland, Ohio.
Sho was astonishcd at the fashions She
saw, and declared that nothing would
induce hor to wear her hair otherwise
than fowing--as she had always worn
1t. But before twcnty-four hours had
passed her mothcr-in-law had porsual-
ed her to try tho effect of bralds around
her broad and shapely head; and now
she dresses as much III the fashion ms
any lady In Cleveland. Last year her
husband went to Alaska again and
brought home the young sister, who ls
eleven years of age, and promises to be
as beautiful as the elder. The mother.
Dcreft of both her children, still cl,nes

surgeons Pcrquisites,

An English legal journal speaks Of q
somewhat embarrassing legel question
which has arisen at Washington. A
surgeon amputatcd both legs of pa-
ttent, claimed them "as his perouisites -
placed them in spirits, and exhibited
them In local museum in q Jar with
the name of the original owner. Thc
latter, who objected to this publicity
broughtan action tor the r recovery of the
legs. No decision has been arrived ot
but the authorities are anxious in tho
matter, for, If the plalntif succeeds.
they fear othor llmbless indlyidua,s
may follow his example, and so the
museum may In time be robbed of much
of Its scientific value and personal in
terest. 1t has been suggested that the
museum authorities should take their
stand upon the principle that tho legs,
when severed, become dead, and that
at common law there is no property in
dead human body.

KERpkNG MEAT IN Hot WEATHER.
Great Is the convenience of a good re-
trigeratorl But many Of us who live
In the country have to get along with
out such convenience. Farmers
families who often depend upon the
butchers meat cart for supplies of
fresh meat, are annoyed by the bother
and waste that comes Of getting more,
beef or mutton than they can c0nve-
niently use up before 1t becomes tainted.
The most foolish waste 1. to eat more
Of 1T than you need, with the idea Of
s'saving it," the DOCTORS bill that may
result from overlooking the digestive
organs, is not 80 good show Of econ

meat: The meat should first be wiped
clean and dry. Some sprinkle it we'll
In all Its parts with salt. Others use
black pepper plentifully, washing and
wiping 1t well before using 1t, to re-
move the pepper and salt, and then
hang it in the coolest place possible
some In we'll, others IN a cellar. Per-
haps the best precaution Is to wrap it
in dry cloth and cover it with char
coal dust. Some say that wood ashes
would answer about as we'll as charcoal !;

The COLD DBATH.-AlthOugh the daily

The COLD BATH.-Although the daily
cold bath is heatlhful and revivlng, 1t
must not alone be depended upon as q
cleansing-agent. A man may bathe
daily and use his towel even roughly,
but remain as dirty to all practical in
tents rs though he escnewed clean
Illness indeed, the physical evil of dirt
Is more likely to ensue, because If
wholly neglected tho skin would cast
off the refuse matter by periodical per-
spirations. Nothing but frequent
washings in water OF at least equal
temperature with the skin, and soap,
can ensure free and healthy surface.
The feet require special care, and it. is
too much the practice to neglect them.
The omission Of daily washing with
water, and the wearing of foot cover
ing so tight as to compress the blood
vessels anu retared the circulation Of the
blood through the extremities, arc the
most common causes of cold feet. The
remedy is obvious-drcss loosely and
wash frequently. The skin plays an
important part in the prcseI vation Of

The Temples OF Paestu,n.

The Temple of Neptune is the most
Imposing of all. Like the others, It is
built of ftravertine, hard durable stone
originally, but now Drowned by age,
and honeycombed by the effects of heat
and storm. The columns, though not
high, arc not in single pieces, but in
several, laid one upon the other, the
Outings joined with exactnoss, and the
whole originally covered with stucco.
In many of the capitals the stucco cow
ering still remains. The structure Is
we'll elevated from tho ground, and al
though the surface around it must have
been raised, in the course Of ages, by
the accumulation of debris, there is no
such squatty effect as ls so common
with modern buildings. The principal
effect, indeed, is, rs has been said, that
Of solemnity and strength Of proror-
tions." 1t is architecture that COM
mands respect, even awe and reverence.
We feel that we are in the presence Of
something majestic, powerful and SOL
emn. A religion or a superstition could
not fail to take strong hold Upon the
Imagination when so dIgnifled ana ex-
allied by art.
The Basilica, 80 called, stands to the
right Of the Temple of Neptune, with
space Of 200 yards or 80 between, TO
my mind, 1t has not the simple majesty
of its mel ghbor, though larger, and al
most equally we'll preserved. Its CEN
tral space Is elevated about four or five
feet above the outer portion, and ls di-
vided into two equal parts by row Of
columns. The exterior columns are
nine in number at each end, and sixteen
at the sides. They curve considerably,
and taper toward the capitals, which
are In the form of flat button.
These temples arc none of them large.
The State House at Columbus Is as
great, or greater, in diMeuslOns than
all three Of them together, and is far
more massive In actual construction.
But it Is not their size that gives them
their impressivencss. 1t Is their maj
esty of proportion, conveying the per-
feet expression of strength and dignity.
We forget to consider whether they are
large or small wo only reflect that they
seem largc-in fact, much larger than
they are.
The Temple Of Vesta, about quar-
| ter of mile to the left of Neptune,
and fronting in the same direction, is
trulya gem. 1t occupies higher ground
than the others, ana though inferior to
them in size, shows to good advantage.
1t IL perfect. One feels that even the
iron clamps and bars which have been
placed here and there to support It's de-.
caying architecture, or hold crumbling
pieces Of stone together, ma, its exqui-
81 G proportions. 1t is even yet. in it's
decay, IL sort Of antique jewel, on which
any modern touch or addition, however
kindly meant, seems DETACHMENT. In
fact, Il is the rare property of all these
structures. but particularly of Neptune
and Ceres, that the more you study
them the less fault you can find with
them, architecturally speaking. There
Is nothing too large or too small; moth
Ing that you would add or take away
