printer, came to Washington in 1915.

fee, and originated, and for some years
compiled without charge, the .'Biennial
Register, better known from the color
of its bindings as the tBlue Book of
which the Government purchased o
small number of copies. Fond of
Ameican history, he in time collected a
large quantity of rare books and pam
phlets, many OF which had been thrown
away from the executive departments as
rubbish, and purchased by him of the
dealers in waste paper. In 1888 he
originated the idea of compiling and
publishing a documentary history of the
country under the title of "The Ameri-
car Archives" and in order to secure
the necessary appropriation from Con-
gress he associated himself with Mat
thew st. Clair Clarke, the Clerk of the
House of Representatives. This publ
cation was a "joy," which distributed
considerable sums Of money, for a num-
Der of years, among the politicians at
Washington, but it was the only way
in which Mr.. Force could carry ont bis
plan, and he was not enriched by it.
He was instinctively a gentleman and a
worthy diciple of Faust-tall. stalwart.

eyes, which would beam with JOY when.

numb, realizing her bitter loss, and remorse
that was yet more bitter, something came and
crouched whining at her feet.
Then, she turned with a shudder and cluthed
the arm that supported her.
Take HIM away" she cried, moaning.
tRenben, if you love me, take him out of nv
sight forever"
And then she staggered and lifted her ach-
ing eyes, and beheld her own drowsy and scared
reflection in her own familiar pier glass, be-
fore which she had actually slept and dreamed
that asonlzing and terribly vivid dream.
But, nevertheless, Reuben himself was be-
side her; and his gentle arm was about her,
his anxious gaze fixed on her changed and
troubled countenance.
Great heavens, Di., how you have fright
enod me-" he calculated, with something OF his
familiar irritation, but with sufficient tender
ness, too. II came up after you Just as You

gled and awakened. But did you mean to

And then she leaned her charming head
against nm, and her sobs came thick and fast.
But possibly that storm OF penitential tears
may have cleansed her motherhood from the
stains ofneglect, and her womanhood from the
blemishes of f~rivol:ty. Certainly that impress
slve and maryelonsly vivid dream had quick
ened her sense of the dignitied and considerate.

Put Yourself in the Horses Place.

From the New York Tribune.
1T is the worry not work that kills"
Let every owner of q horse think, when
he brings his team to the stable at
night, how much vital force has been
expended in work and how much in
worry, and then strike o balance. And
let him consider himself to be putin the
horses place, so that he ma better
know how it is himself. And thus:
A man goes out to work in the morn
ing, after having all night fought flies
of the most pestilent kind, breathed
hot, foul air, reeked in the sweat and
dust of the previous days work, eat
en- a breakfast in haste, without q suf-
ticient cleaning of his shin, and with
boots and clothing i'll fitting and CALLING
the tenderest spots upon his person.
He is then, from the flthiness of his
body, exposed all day to the
attacks of flies, which he fights with
hands and feet, but which, from the ex-
igencies of his work, he can only drive
OFT for the slightestmoment, after which
a cloud of them settle upon his face
aud exposed parts and sting him Sc
verely.
He works on from hour to hour in
the broiling sun without water to mois-
ten his mouth or to quench his raging
thirst until midday, when he rushes
home, swallows a drink of dirty water
and hastily eats a dinner in the foulest
smelling and worst ventilated part of
his premises.
The afternoon is like the forenoon,
and after this has been occupied in the
same way the man, all foul with gath
cred dust and sweat, eats his evening
meal as he dined, and lies down to rest
(D, if he can, on a filthy floor, in an
apartment that is hot, close, and
swarming with flies, which he yainly
fights as he catches an odd wink or SO
of sleep.
And so, de novo, from day to day he
fights it out on this line all summer.
Then how much of the resulting wear
and tear is due to the worry and how
little of it to the work?
Something like this is the weary CON
dition of the average farm horse. No
note is taken of the cruel lashing, the
injudicious feeding and watering, the
torment of check-reins, the hindrances
of binders, the bad treatment of the
feet by the blacksmith and other mis-
takes which produce actual disease, O
of the truly horrible nostrums and
poisonous stuff which are made use of
as remedies" for these complaints.
Thinking of these things, who can
wonder that the average farm horse,
whose useful life is naturally 25 to 80
years gets into a hole in o corner of the
farm and is consumed by prowling dogs
in less than half his allotted term Of
life?

The Summer Hotel Widow.
From the pbilaae,nbio 1imo.

A. ~. "taE
If any one who has travelled much in
the summer has encountered q fashion
ape summer resort hotel without its
widow it is very exceptional. The Wild
ow Is inevitable to the surroundings.
She IS always interesting, generally has
fine eyes and dresses well and wears d.
amends. But it is her manner, as a
rule, that is most attractive. In nine
cases out of ten she has q little girl to
whose early retirement to the arms 81
Morpheus is her greatest anxiety. OF
rather one OF her greatest, for she seems
anxious sometimes if left alone even af-
ter relieved of this ~annoyance. Har
manner is usually brilliant and effuslyo
and almost always insures her the mo-
tice n attention of gentlemen. She
uoes Things, as q matter of course. that
the young unmarried ladies are forbid
den by their mothers to do. and tha
mothers have a hard tins explaining to
the daughters why what is right for the
widow is wrong for them. The moth
ers take revenge very often by misrep-
resentlng the widow and telling the
daughters to have nothing to do with
her. But the widow has a good time
and very often the unmarried girls don't.
Stli!, according to her W standards.
she keeps within bounds, and NO matter
now hardly pressed is generally mistress
OF the situation. This is the gay young
widow. OF course there are others who
are saints in department.

Electrical Inventions.

The Electrial Exposition which op-
ened in Philadelphia on Wednesday
ought to bring many novel inventions
before the public. Some of the c%uriosi-
ties are thus described:
Many who attend thus exhibition will
doubtless be surprised to learn that the
subtle power of electricity can be made
to hatch a chicken as well as to slay a
h orse. That man can make this mar.
Vicious force q generator as well as a
destroyer of life will be demonstrated
by a curious electric incubator which is
big enough to work upon 2,l0O eggs at
once. 1t IS already p~racticing upon
several hundreds, and the incubator
will be so managed that every day OF
the show will witness tho event ola new
brood OF gay young fedglings. Per
haps the sight most pleasing to the eye
Will be that of the great electrical foun-
tain which stands in the center of the
main building. From the apex of a
stone shaft twelve feet high a column Of
water issues in theform of an aquatic um.
brella, beautifully illuminated by Z
crown of incandescent lights, over
which the water flows as it takes its
concave form. From the bank about
the fower-decked basin twelve Jets OF
cleaning water are so directed as to
catch the rays of colored electric light
thrown upon them from invisible points.
Unier the central blaze Of the lights in
the arch span a hundred feet above,
these brilliant jets look like streams Of
liquid fire; and as their m~any-hued
shafts meet and break the water is
dashed into myriads of sparkling Jew
els, falling in a shower of rainbow
splendor. But electricity has been
made to please the ear no less than the
eye. In the eastern gallery stands a
great electric organ, built by the
Roosevelt company. The keyboard by
which the organ is operated is located
