Every ono knows tits the homely
daughter Of the house who wears tho

Not that Il should be 80. but some
how It has fallen 70 her lot, evidently
because she Is moro helpful than her
pretty sister.
Tho homely girl has the knack Of max

When she enters tho kitchen the stub
born Dire gives in; the kettle starts .
singing; the oven = heating; the table is
strewn with raisins and spices and the
pudding begins. Her hands are 80 use

Of his plain.faced daughter whose
dresses seem to keep so long. Even
her lover, marvellous enough, is Just the
solid sort Of man papa would have
chosen for her himself.
His eccentricities she can manage;
mammals headache she can soothe, and
even the baby itself yields to her lullaby.
The children say she is the .'bestest''
sister in the whole, whole world" for
doesn't she mend the manned dolls and
olothe the naked ones?
Then, she is sure to find all the lost
tops. balls and marbles, besides being
intimate with those enhancing words
fairies, giants and Arabian steeds. But,
above all. she never tells ON you!

A Fashionable Shoemaker on Women'a
Feet,

Feet,
1.-THE feet Of Americans are, As rule.
Of smaller and-ighter build than tho
feet of Englishmen, and have more arch
and higher insteps. l worked in the best
London shops before coming to this
country, and know there are plenty Of
big feet among the English aristocracy.
The feet Of the American ladies are
smaller than those of English ladies, but
the American ladies are apt to distort
their feet in way that English ladies
do not. Now. by rights the last on
which q shoe is made ought to be three
sizes larger than the foot. There are
four sizes to an inch, 80 that would give
three-quarters of an inch room to the
foot. An English woman will take such
measurement, but if you make shoes in
that way for American ladies you will
have them left on your hands. You can
not make the shoe more than from q
size and half to two sizes above the
exact length of the foot. .Anything I
can get my foot in can wear they
say, and so we give plenty Of width be-
tween heel and ankle, so that they can
slip their feet in, and they don't seem to
mind how their toes are pinched togeth-
or when the foot settles into the shoe.
The result is the English women have 9
freer. easier gait than American women"

The Washington monument reached the

work will be done on the shaft before the
season closes. The officer in charge of the
work was asked by REPUBLICAN reporter
last evening if record had been kept
of the number - of - accidents which
had occurred since the work commenced
among the wOrltmeu and visitors. "Acci'
dents, )" he replied, "Why there have been nc
accidents This may appear strange. 1t is
remarkable; but nevertheless it is true. The
only thing that approached an accident was
the cat that accidentally fell from the top
and through the safety netting to the ground.
No, you can say that no accidents have oc-
cured during the many years that have
elapsed since the work began"

The Bible and the Monuments.

Scnnacherib's own story adds much
OF interest to the Bible account. Tho
Bible says that Scnnachcrib was Mt
Lachish while Jerusalem was invested.
We have an actual picture preserved.
made by order Of the Assyrian King. OF
his victory at Lachish. He does not
claim to have captured Jerusalem. but
only that he received tribute. The
Bible SAYS that Hczekiah gave him
thirty talents OF gold and three hundred
talents of silver. Scnnachcrib, In his
own account, says II was thirty talents
of gold and eight hundred OF silver.
But there were two sorts of silver tai
cnts, large talent and small talent;
and eight hundred Of one Is just eqnal
to three hundred Of the other. so that
the two accounts tally to shekcl. In
two eases In the Bible story Of the Kings
IL has seemed like plain mistake that
Babylon Is mentioned instead OF Nine
ych. How could Hczckiah have sent
Ambassadors with presents to Mcredach-
baladan, King ut Babylon. while Nine
yeh was the capital? The monuments
solve the riddle. They tell the whole
story of the revolt Of Mcrcdach.baladan
ut Babylon against the King at Ninevch.
The Embassy sent to the rebel was
great political blundcr. and
Isaiah was right in rcbuking it. The
other case OF difficulty is where tho
Bible tells us that Manassch was taken
captive by the King Of Assyria and car
ricd to Babylon. The annals of Esar-
haddon are very imperfect, but they
mention Manassch as tributary King.
and wo learn from them that hc (Esar-
haddon) was the only King OF Assyria
who held his court Mt Babylon. Tho
Bible Is confirmed on both these points.
Before passing from the monuments of
Assyria to those OF Babylon. we may
recall briefly tho now well.known
Moabite stone. with its remarkable con-
frmation OF the Bible story. The Bible
tells us that after the death Of Ahab.
and the accession of Jchoram, Mcsha,
King of Moab, rcbcllcd. There was
discovered, ten years ago. in Dibon, tho
capital OF Moab, stone column on
which this very Mcsha, otherwise un..
known, had given an account, engraved
nearly nine hundred years before Christ,
of the success of his rebellion. In n
long story, which reads like chapter
of the Bible. he tells of his victories.
and how he captured the cities OF Israel
by the hclp Of his god Chemosh.-S. 5.

The Material Life OF a Planet.

The material life of planet Is begin
ming to be recognized MS being no less
real than tho life OF plant or of an an
imal. 1t Is adiflcrcnt kind oi life; there
is neither consciousness such rs we see
in one of those forms OF life. nor such
systematic progress rs we recognize III
plant-lfc. But il is life, all the same.
Il has had beginning, like all things
which exist; and like them all it must
have an end. The lifetime of a world
like our earth may be truly said TO he
lifetime of cooling. Beginning in the
glowing vaporous condition which We
see in the sun and stars, an orb in space
passes gradually TO the condition OF
cool non-liminous mass, and thenc',
with progress depending chiefly on its
size (slowcr for tho large masses anu
qu ckcr for the small oncs). it passes
stead ly onward toward incrtncss and
death. Regarding tho state in which
we find the earth 10 be rs the stage OF
planets m!d-life-viz., that In which
the conditions are such that multi
tulinous forms OF life can exist upon Its
surface. we may call that stage death
in which these conditions have entirely
disappeared. Now. among the condi-
tions necessary for tho support OF life In
general are some which are unfavorablc
to individual life. Among these may
be specially noted the action OF those
subterranean forces by which the
carth's surface Is continually modelled
and remodeled. 1t has been remarked
with great justice by Sir John Hcrschel
that since the continents OF tho
earth were formed forces have been ut
work which would long since have suf.
feed TO have destroyed every trace OF
land and to have left the surface OF our
globe one vast limitless ocean. But
against these forces counteracting forces
have been at work, constantly disturb
ing the earth's crust, and, by keeping
1t irregular. leaving room for ocean IN
the deprcssions and leaving the higher
parts rs continents and islands above
oceans surface. II these disturbing
forces ceased to work, the work OF dis
integrating. wearing away and washing
off tho land would 60 on unresisted; In
periods of time such rs to ms seem long
no very great effects would be pro-
duced; but such periods as belong to
tho past of our earth, oven to that COM
parativcly short part of the past during
which she has been the abode OF life,
would suffice to produce effects utterly
inconsistent with the existence OF lilo
on land. Only by the action OF her vul-
canian energies can the earth maintain
her position rs an abode OF life. She Is,
then, manifcsting her fitness to support
life In those very throes by which, too
often, many lives are lost. Tho up
hcavals and down-sinkings, tho rushing
of oceans, by which tens OF thousands
of human beings, and still greater mum.
bers Of animals, lose their lives, are part
of the evidence which tho earth gives
that within her frame there still remains
enough of vitality for the support OF life
during hundreds Of thousands OF years
