THE GREAT CHANGE.

Change is as indelibly stamped upon
the face of nature as upon the relations
of mankind. When winters ermine has
covered everything man remembers that
under this mantle bud and blossom but
await the breath of the delicately ROBBED
maiden from the south TO spring forth
into newness of life. We have passed
through one of the most severe winters
ever known in this latitude, winter
which was evidently extremely 10th to
loosen its icy grip. but the delightful
weather of late, unreasonable though it
may appear to be, is notifying us in the
language of violet and daisy, of butter
cup and blue bell that the season of
flowers and fruits, of delightful wood
land ramble and of rod and gun is fairly
at our doors. and it finds US fully pre-
pared to honor its advent in the most
becoming manner possible.
In the midst of our rejoicings, however,
we must remember that in a by far toe
short time we will be standing upon the
threshold OF another winter. 1t behooves
us all, therefore, to initiate the example

AN UNCOVERED HONOR.
From the st. Louis Republican

1t is u little curious. that there is only
one man in the country spoken of in con
nection with the Republican nomination
for the presidency, and he doesn't want it
There is drift of public opinion point
ing to Judge Edmunds, now president of
the senate and second executive officer
as the next Republican candidate for the
presidency we are told. and it is added
that ''the only obstacle to the Edmunds
boom will be Edmunds himself"
This reminds us of the notable decline
in value of the Republican nomination
since 1890, when Chicago swarmed with
bidders for it-Grant, Blaine, Sherman,
Conklng. Edmunds. Washburn, Allison,
Garfield and Others. This was less than
three years ago-and now the honor is
going begging. Nobody wants it. All
the old aspirants have retired from the
field, and no new ones have come forward
to take their places. The explanation of
the extraordinary generosity with which
all other great men in the party waive
their claims in favor of Senator Edmunds
is that the nomination will be barren and
of the Vermont senator's reluctance to
receive it. When thing has lost it's
value everybody IS willing that some one
else shall have it. So it comes about
that there is not n single candidate for the
Republican nomination in the field, 1t
seems to be generally agreed in the party
that Republicansm has run its course. and
the days when it could elect IFS president
ial nominees are over. 1t has worn a
ghostly look ever since last November.

How Paper Domes ara Made.

Is at the Troy Polytechnic Institute, the
second at West Point. and the third at
Beloit College. While that at West
Point is the largest, ours is the best in
construction and arrangement The
method used in the manufacture of the
paper is kept secret, the makers using
a private, patented process. The dome
is made in sectioDs-semi-lunes as they
are technically called. There are "a of
these sections. They are bent over
toward the inside of the edges and
of the shell is only 1882 of an inch, but
it is as stiff as sheet-iron. On one side
of the dome is the oblong opening for
the telescope, and over this is a shutter
likewise of paper, but stiffened with
wood hning) which slides around on the
outside of the dome The whole dome
is so light that the hand can turn it,
The side diameter is twenty feet and
the height is eleven feet. The floor of
the observatory is 100 feet above the
ground; we were obliged to buildit so
high because of the tall buildings
around it. The building is rapidly APP
preaching completion, and the dome is
already in place.

Capturiug the Czar,

Minister Hunt and his family rented
thelr trim little home on Long Island
avenue and went 10 St. Petersburg. The
story goes that Hunts first few months
at the court OF the Car made him home
sick. Everybody was wonderfully polite
TO him-almoSt as polite as himself in
fact; but he didn't seem to get on. Per-
haps it was his own frieidity, intensified
by the Russian atmosphere. AT any
rate, our Minister could MT get into
confidential relations with anybody, and
the story goes that it fretteS him. He
was growing thin and pale. when, one
bright morning, he received a cable
gram from New Orleans informing him
that Don Jose Domingo, a rich tobacco
importer who had been his client and
friend, had died leaving him his entire
estate. Hunts heart leapcd for joy.
Not because he was to receive a legacy
in money or lands, although he knew
very we'll the Importance of such an ad-
dition to his slender fortune; but be-
cause he remembered Domingo wine
cellar and seme particular wines that
slumhered in Its recesseS. The Gar
loves rare old wines and SO do all the
Russians. Minister Hunt recalled gold
en- days at the dead Senator's house,
when he had seen on the table wines
that were more than a century old He
smiled all over as he thought of the sher-
ry made on Don Domingos ancestral
estate in Spain, which he had brought
with him when he was eNiled for his add
herence to the Pretender; sherry fifteen
years Old, mahogany colored; sherry
fifty years Old, olive colored; sherry 100
years old. pale and clear rs amber, and
with a bouquet that filled the room with
romance and poetry. Then he sat down
at his desk and replied to the cable
gram in some such terms as these:
Send me a cask of Dominoo's l00year-
old sherry Then he waited smilingly.
Presently the sherry arrived and was
bottled. Then the Munster gave one III
the incest dinners ever given in St Pc
tersburg. He got the best wines he
could, and he got together q number of
prominent d;gnitaries, including some
of the cronles of the Car. At the
proper moment he made the guests ac-
quainted with Don Jose's century sher
~, They We're perceptibly pleased
They were kind enough to compliment
One of the cronies remarked half audi
bly, that the Car must hear of this.
When the Gar had heard OF II, and had
expressed or intimated half desire TO
near more OF IL. Minister t1unt cOnbTlNeu
to get a bottle of it to him in very
pleasing way 1t was not long before
the Gar gave the Minister O special
audience, and the latter had the pleas
ure of receiving graceful compliments
on his ability as u connoisseur. His
was kind enough to ask |
half facetiously if the world held any
more of that wonderful wine And then |
the conversation drifeed TO other mat |
tiers, and every minute the Minister rot |
nearer to the Gar. The Gar has tasted |
tho century sherry since. and our rela-
tions win Russia continue TO be of a |
character that is mutually satisfactory. |

rle Elephant Did NJ Sc i

The Rev. Mr.. Ns.f-An .siys.s i ls.ss
story in illustration 0i this :aaH,a'
wonderful long memory Of q wr0ug III
fered One of those pests of societss =,
practical Joker, visited caravan in
west of England fair and tried his stupid
tricks upon an elephant there. lie frst
loled out to it, one BY one, some gin
gerbread nuts, and when the grateful
animal was thrown off its guard he sud
denly proffered it large parcel wrap
ped in paper. The unsuspicious creature
accepted and swallowed the lump, but
Immediately began to exhibit signs sf
intense suffering, and snatching up
bucket handed it to the keeper for water.
This being given to it, it eagerly swal-
lowed quantities of the fluid. Hal
cried the delighted joker, Il guess those
nuts were trifie too hot, old fellow. "
You had better be off, exclaimed the
keeper, .'unless you wish the bucket at
your head - The fool took the hint
only Just in time, for the enraged ami
NAL, having finished the sixth bucketf1l,
hurled the bucket after its tormentor
with such force that had he fingered q
moment longer his life might have been
forfeited The affair had not, however,
vet concluded The following year the
show revisited the same town, and the
foolish joker, like men of his genus, I'M
able to profit BY experience, thought to
repeat his stupid trick on the elephant
He took two lots of nuts into the show
with him sweet nuts in one pocket and
hot in the other The elephant had not
forgotten the jest played upon him, and
therefore accepted the nuts very eau
tiously At last the joker proffered a.
hot one; but no sooner had the creature
discovered its pungency thanit seized
hold of its prosecutor by the coat-tails,
hoisted him up by them, and held him
until they gave way, when he fell to the
ground. The elephant now inspected
the severed coat-tails, which, after he
had discovered and eaten all the sweet
nuts, he tore to rags and flung after
their discounted owner. - Chamber
