Not History Enough to Go Round.

Washington Cor. Commercial dazetteI
An obstacle has been met with which has
checked the work upon the historic flcsco do
signed to belt the rotunua OF the capitol.
"lherc is not history enough to go round"
says the artist. The ideal scenes designed 10
represent the histury of the Now World from
its discovery, begins over the west door with
the landing of Columbus, and extends prob
ably three fourth. the way round. The work,
rs has been the verdict of the throng Of visi-
tors to the capitol since it was bcsun by
B.ulnidi few years ago, is quite fine in an
artistic point of view, the painting having
the effect of Las-rcllct Columbus CRATES
upon tho sand and America is discovered
over the back door of the capitol. The
Indian trades and Indian warfare; the strus-
gle for independence from Lexington to
Yorktown. and scenes from the Mexican war
furnish subjects for the historic pencil.
Then cones blank. The artist has laid
aside his pencil and announced that he will
not resume work until September or October.
The trouble is here. They do not know what
to do with the blank space. There is miss
Ing link in history, and the blank is bewidrr-
ing. Putting the last plume in the hemict
Of his soldiers the artist drops bis pencil and
saws in mixed Italian and English: Used
all the Indians; all the soldiers; what now"
and stops with his shoulders in his cars wait
ing for suggestion Here the matter rests
All the noble war history has been used up,
and they don't know what to I'll the space
with They do not want to draw from The
war of the rebellion, Us they deem 1t hardly
in good taste to Thus record internal tri-
umphs An emancipation pnnel was suG-
gaSted, but there was soIno Objection made
To this also.
Architect Clark and Librarian Spoiford
put their heads together to try and create
an idea for Costaggni to mould into de-
sign The result of their consultation was,
that Mr. Clark told the artist he might, if he
desired, suspend work for the summer.
Three designs We're mentioned, each OF which
raised the Italians shoulders nearer his ears,
with an expression of blank dsapproval. The
first was to represent the discovery of gold in
California. Then it was suggested that tho
artist test the power of his pencil to idealize
the driving of the last spike in the Union
Pacific railroad, or as the artist expressed it,
Laying ze cornerstone ov re railroad" And
the proposition was to fill in the space with
tragic scene of the assassination of Lincoln
and Garfield, but none of these could be
agreed upon as suitable and in good taste.

How the salt Glaze Was Discovered.

[ScientiHc American.
In 1880, very simple accident revealed to
the English potters a secret which they
ought to have learned long before from the
Dutch wares imported into that country,
maid servant at the farm Of Mr.. Yates, near
Burslem, was preparing in an carthen vessel
a salt I've for curing pork. During her tenn
porury absence the liquid boiled over, tho
sides of the pot hccame quickly red hot, and
when they again grew cold, were found to lie
covered with an excellent vitreous glaze.
The circumstance attracted tho attention Of
Mi Yates, who related it to n ncghboring
hotter who at once made Use of the discovery
and impaired it to others. The sal. glaze
soon to great extent superseded the lead
ore glaze hitherto in use, and was employed

Woman and Time.

Woman has long contest with
grim old time before she will con-
fess herself beaten. At the first
intimation that he is pen cilling she
throws a dash more of youthfulness
into her attire, and, if possible, a
little more sweetness into her smile.
For while she laughs at the audac-
ity of the wretch, as love is said to
laugh at locksmiths. She sits in
theatre and notices the fair young
faces here and there, and knows that
time is closing in on her, but she
thinks to cheat him by assuming
ignorance of his power and his in
tentions. She indulges in no spoken
"reminiscences, ceases to date her
stories, and begins to associate more
with women a great deal younger
than herself. When the crows feet
become noticeable she resorts to a
mask veil which comes just to the
top of her nose, and takes at least
five years from her record. A little
later she makes her hat defy the
thrusts of the enemy by jauntier
pause than ever. She fights the foe
openly, cheats him with her cher
ished artifices, contests every step
he takes, and scorns him always.
She never admits his mastery, as
men do. The theology of the toilet
tells her to resist age and he will
flee. This is a doctrine she faith
fully lives up to. When she feels
the weight of years upon her, she
effects not to know that time, the
all-devourer, is going to be the vic
tor after all. Just as bravely does
she fight him as though there was a
hope that she would win the day.
When she can no longer defy him
utterly, she yields grimly to his die.
tation, though she never acknowl-
! edges his mastery.

Frozen Fun.

It's very cold day when ice-cream
gets left.
A Massachusetts, editor has noticed
that the smaller the girl the more
ice-cream she will hold.
AS ice-cream weather approaches
the discreet young man becomes
colder in his approaches.
This is leap-year, and every we'll
conditioned girl will jump at an Of
fer of "vanilla with jelly"
The Boston Post informs young
men that no girl who is really in
love ever calls for third dish of
ice-cream.
The fact that no love-making is
complete without a little ice-cream
is probably why courting is some
times alluded to as spooning.
1t seems that the cases of ice-cream
poisoning were caused by cream
bought at creamery. AS very little
of the cream used is procured in this
way the danger is not great.
An exchange says that ice-cream
makes girls freckle and toe in. If
that is so our girl, bless her heart,
will have the complexion of a leopard
and will walk heels first before the
summer is half over.
Is there anything about ice-cream
that makes it's sale on Sunday a
necessity. Altoona Tribune. Well,
no; but there is something about
girls that makes buying lce-cream
a necessity every time they want
you to.
A medical journal contains an
article entitled "Notes Of Cases of
Ice-Cream Poisoning" 1t is said
that young men are clubbing to-
gether to raise fund of $500 to Sc
cure the insertion of the article in
all the papers in town. Their OBJ
ject is unknown.
When girl is in real downright
love, clear in up to her eyebrows,

must feed it to her with spoon.
Statistics show that suicides are

can escape the ice-cream epidemic

St. Vincent, 6. Mr.. Deacon of

from General Manager Marvel, of

in the matter of getting the Sec
retary of war to build a bridge over
the Red river, from the western
terminus of Pacific avenue, in ST..
Vincent, to South Pembina. A petit
tion was forwarded to the secretary
of war to this effect some time ago.
1t shows clearly the advantages the
military at Fort Pembina would
derive by such a bridge in case of a
sudden call for troops. The men
could cross over to st. Vincent,
thence by rail as the order would
direct; but as it is now, they would
be obliged to march to Neche, Dak.,
eighteen miles from the fort, the
nearest railway station on the west
side of the river, or be obliged to
depend on uncertain ferry. Mr.
Marvel gives Mr.. Deacon to under
stand that nothing will be wanting
on his part to further the cause.
