The National CapitOl.

Few of the Congressman know the
treasures of the library; it is especially
rich in rare Americana, which are now
so costly and scarce Peter Force, the
most thorough going American collector,
sold his entire treasures to this library,
and some things there might excite the
antiquarian; for example, the plans of
the early capitol as submitted by all the
architectural ability in the country, most
of which was foreign. The old capitol
in itself is an antiquarian thing of rare
value. The supreme court does not re-
quire to be in that edifce. Meantime
work is advancing on tie capitol terraces,
which are being faced with marble so as
to increase the height of the capitol as
viewed from distance. A gentleman
who has just been around the world said
of the proportion of the dome OF the cap
itol, planned by Walter, that it was the
most elegant dome in the world, and the
most perfect in its proportions. -No0

Beautiful HarbOr.

One grand picture gallery Sydney pos
sesses and sufficiently enjoys-its harbor.
Let none who values his place in any
Australian heart murmer that he never
heard Of Sydney harbor, or hint that it
has any equal in the world When / first
sailed on it gentleman gravely assured
me that, with all its sinuosities, this
harbor, had waterfront of 1890 miles.
Deduct about two thousand and you will
be nearer the fact Deduct proportion
ate amount of enthusiasm and you still
have the sober truth that this harbor,
with its green promontories and islets,
its bays and hooks and beaches, studded
with shining villas, is of beauty that
never wearies the eye. AS, during many
months of the year, fair weather may be
counted on, there are many picnics on
the wooded shores and so much room
that none need jostle each other On
Sundays there are many excursionists,
but little bathing, the sharks being a
sufficient police force to keep all bathing
inside the palings and hoses provided at
various spots, with scrupulous separation
of sexes. d. O0naoay.

WISE WORDS.

We must have a weak spot or two in q
character before we can love it much.
The beggar is the only man in the uni
verse who is not obliged to study appear
ances.
That each thing, both in small and in
great, fulflleth the task which destiny has
set down.
Good taste rejects excessive nicely; it
treats little things as little things, and is
not hurt by them.
Be at least as polite to father, mother,
child. as to others; for they are more i'm
portant to you than any other.
Treat everybody with politeness, even
those who are rude to you. For remem-
Der that you show courtesy to others, not
because they are gentlemen, but because
you are one.
Young man, don't forget that all the
people are watching you, and most of
them are more ready to charge your
account with something bad than some
thing good.
Never pronounce man to be willful
niggard until you have seen the contents
of his purse. Distribution, you must re-
member, should be in accordance with
the receipts.
The hours we pass with happy pros
poets in view are more pleasing than
those crowned with fruition. In the first
instance, we cook the dish to our own ap.
petite; in the latter, nature cooks it for
us.
1t is not question as to whether any
man may Or may not have objects of
beauty; it is not required that any man
should make himself hermit in the
desert. A man has a right to wealth and
all that it produces, but no man has a
right to hold them selfshly and shut
Others out from their enjoyment.

One of the most interesting and valua-
BILE features of the Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity library is the newspaper bureau. A
trained editor and staff of assist
ants read all the representative dailies
and mark superior articles upon economic,
political, social, educational legal and
historical subjects. These are afterward
clipped, arranged in newspaper budgetl,
and kept in large envelopes or obIong
boxes, which are marked with labels The
lists of subjects includes everything of
value that finds its way into the columns
of the press. Bulletin boards are covered
daily with the best clippings from the
latest papers, arranged under the leading
heads of current topics.

WAXING AND WANING.


Hope and the sun are like as one
Both largest when they rise;
They shrink alike from morn till noon,
As life grows old and wise.
With what unbounded hope the boy
Begins his world-career
How wondrous large and bright with Joy
Do rising suns appearl
But as the sun grows less and less,
And paler as they climb
The vacant sky, so we confess
The cold deceits of time.
Our boyhood hopes will shrink and fade
As boyhood drifts away,
And one by one to rest are laid
The failures of the day.
And yet the sun at noon that turns
Its downward course will grow and grow
TIL in the west it rolls and burns.
As large as half day ago.
So, as we hear that other sphere,
The early hope revives,
That all we thought was ours here
May be, in other lives.

the mind of the newspaper man, the
Herefords are the imperial family of cat
tie. They contain ali the factors that 60
towards making money for the man who
owns them; magnificent in size, good
breeders and mixers, with their well
marked bodies of red and white, they
are all that could be desired. George Z.
Bell, who has direct charge of all ami
mails On the place, has dressed the cattle
for the fair in a unique and handsome
manner. The hair on the foreheads of
the Herefords has been dressed in the
prevailing style among the ladies /;
banged and curled, and while the most
extensive work in that direction has
been done upon the heads Of two ami
mails who are not of that sex, they will
be the envy of many ladies, who have
attempted to have their hair dressed for
a ball and made success, as they think.
The Holsteins are also magnificent
creatures and their black and white
bodies make beautiful contrast to the
balance of the herd; they are also ad-
mired by many and there is no gainsay-
ing the fact that they will be the finest
of the kind exhibited. Mr.. Scott will
also send over twelve head of his import
ed sheep, among them being four from
Scotland that have the proud distinction
of bearing four horns each; they will I'M
doubtedly attract much attention.

which are never entirely empty.

A flock OF crows discussed the weather.
Observing them, thrifty farmer Nick
Declared that the crows were ''gettin' too thick.

Now, would not that old umbrella do?'
So into the house the farmer went,
And away TO the field the umbrella sent.
One rainy day the farmer went out
To view the com fields lying about;
He neared the umbrella; looked inside,
Aud what he saw, made him laugh till he cried
For in there. out of the rainy weather,
A dozen crows were huddled together!
So the farmer, laughing as farmers should.
Said: II fear my scarecrow did little good"

A Business Melody.

There was man in our town, and he
was wondrous wise, for when he marked
his prices down he then did advertise.
And when he saw his trade increase,
with all his might and main he marked
still lower every price and advertised
again.
And when he advertised again his
rivals stamped and tore, to see folks rush
with might and main to patronize that
store.
And while they sat in solitude, and
saw him custom win, that man behind
the counter stood and raked the shekels
in.
And when he raked the shekels in
and saw his fortune rising, he took a
goodly lot of tin" and kept on advertis'
ing.
Each day a generous sum he'd sink
and demonstrate full plain, the more
one pays for printers ink the greater il
his gain.
