Elihu B. Washburne is the President o.
the American Exhibition to be held in o
dol, in 1887. Those who remember b
the Centennial Exhibition accomplished, IL
the way OF enlightnning the people IRON
abroad as to the resources vi our land, VIII
readily appreciate the importance OF tne
proposed exhibition. 1t Will be an exniDl
ton OF the various American products
which are to be carried into the market Of
Great Britain, and it's success is already
assured. A natural pride is felt in surpris-
ing the peopls OF the older nations, with
what the young Republic has accomplished.
Nj. Waehburne comes from q time honored
family. The history OF all the boys, bear.

and went West to grow into governors and
congressman, is a peculiar and Interesting

subject of our sketch. His whole life has
been one OF romance. 1t is about four miles
from Portland. Maine. where the singular
family. to which he belongs was raised and
from whence they drifted out to help shape
the financial and political history 81 the
West. By an accident Elihu B. became a
member OF Congress from the Galena Dis
trict, just before the war. He was then a
man OF only average position, and but Tor

crmented a valuable friendship. But for
Washburne's persistent and earnest defense
Of the hero OF Donelson, HaIleck would
doubtless have succeeded in his desire to
get rid Of him. 1t is not fair to assert that
but for his loyal support OF Grant during
the war, Washburre would not have been
much OF a man in national affairs, but the
ability with which be defended him attracted
attention. Washburne had never spoken
to Grant up to the time OF the capture OF
DoneIson. When Grant became President
he called the man who had stood by HIM in
his need. to his Cabinet as Secretary OF
State. Washburne resigned this post to
accept one as Minister to France. He has
had every honor that a man can have 10
this country. except the Presidency. and
his determined efforts to secure this last
honor, alone prevented Characterization
for a third term. Since then Washburre
has drifted out Of public affairs.

Origin of Slanting Roofs.

To find the source from which Euro
pean nations have derived the art of
building in stone, we must look to the
land of the Pharaohs. From Egypt the
craft passed to Greece, and from the
Greeks it was taken up by the Romans.
to be by them disseminated through the
north and west of Europe in the pro-
cess of colonization. The similarity in
regard to the constructive parts of the
ancient Greek buildings to some of
those found in Egypt of older date, af-
fords strong confirmation of the tradi-
ton that the Greeks borrowed the art
from the Egyptians. The Greeks, how
ever, in adopting it added a new fea-
ture, the pedment, and the reason for
this addition is easy to find Egypt is
practically rainless, All the protection
from the climate required in a palace
or temple in such country is shelter
from the sun by day and from the cold
by night, and for this a fiat roof, sup
ported by walls, or pillars with archi-
traves, is quite sufficient; but, as when
in all European countries, rain has to
be taken into account. a slanting roof
becomes necessary. The Greeks, with
their eyes for symmetry, provided for
this by forming the roof with contrrl
ridge, at an obtuse angle, from which
it sloped down equally on either side.
The triangular space thus formed at
the end of the building above the az
chitrave was occupied by the piedmont,
and this part of the facade, which owed
its birth to the exigencics of climate,
was thenceforth regarded as so essen
tial to the artistic completeness of the
work that it was said that if temple
were to be erected in the celestial re-
gions, where rain would not be possible,
the pediment could not be omitted --

Theories of Marriage.

A new theory in the suitability in
marriage IS offered by Mr.. Howells'
"Rev. David Sowell' in the current
chapters of "A Minister'S Charge"
Or, if not a new theory, it is at least
an expression of an unformulated idea
growing in popular feeling of late
years. This is, that it is much better
for woman to marry man who is
not quite up to her in intellectual de-
Velopment than for man to marry a
woman of much less mental stature.
A man has more chance to grow ment-
ally after marriage than woman, ac-
cording to the Howard-Scwell philoso-
ply, and, if his wife is noticeably inferi-
or to begin with he is very likely to grow
quite away from her, and thu. lose any
possibility of intellectual companion
ship with her. If, on the other hand,
she is his superior at the start, she is
likely to lead him upward towards
more real companionship. The Rev.
Mr.. Sewell grows very earnest in this
number, too, about the pernIcous idea
that man ought to go on with a pro-
posed marriage from false idea of
honor after either one of them has dis
covered that the best possibilities for
either are not to be realized in such q
marriage. Boston Pecord.

A Good Mans Tenderness.

Boys are sometimes tempted to think
that to be tender hearted is TO be weak
and unmanly. Yet the tendermost
heart may be associated with the strong
est and most forcible mind and will
Take, for example, the story told OF
him to whom we owe our wonderful
railway system. George Stephenson
went one day into an upper room OF
his house and closed the window. 1t
had been left open long time because
of the great heat, but now the weather
was becoming cooler, and so Mr.. Ste-
phenson thought it would be well to
shut it. He little knew at the time
what he was doing. Two or three days
afterward, however, he CHANGED to OBJ
serve bird flying against the same
window and beating against it with all
its might, again and again, as if trying
to break it His sympathy and curiosity
were aroused. What could the little
thing want? He at once went to the
room and opened the window to see,
The window opened, the bird flew
straight to one particular spot in the
room, where Stephenson saw a nest
that little birds nest The poor bird
looked at it, took the sad story in at
glance, and futtered down to the floor,
broken-hearted, almost dead.
Stephenson, drawing near to look,
was filled with unspeakable sorrow
There sat the mother bird, and under it
four tiny little young ones-mother and
young all apparently dead. Stephen
son cried aloud. He tenderly lifted the
exhausted bird from the floor, the worm
it had so long and bravoly struggled to
bring to its home and young still in its
beak, and carefully tried to revive it;
but all his efforts proved in vain. 1t
speedily died, and the great man
mourned for many day. At that
time the force of George Stephenson's
mind was changing the face of the
earth, yet he wept at the sight of this
dead family, and was deeply grieved be-
cause he himself had unconscouSly
been the cause of death - Manchester

Remedies for the Apple Worm

As large share of the fruit, with
tho worm still within it, falls to tho
ground, the picking up of these wind
falls and feeding, or otherwise destroy
ing them, or allowing them to be gath
cred by swine. will naturally suggest
itself as an efficient method. Manu-.
facturers of vinegar find it profitable to
pick up and press all windfalis; they
yield juice which will make vinegar.
The fact that mature worms search for
crevices in the bark of the trunk, in
which to spin and undergo their trans
formations, has suggested providing
them with artificial shelters for this
purpose. Pieces of old carpet, or other
wooden fabric, about five inches wide,
and long enough to go around the
trunk and lap, are fastened with stout
tack. These bands should be applied
the last week in June and examined the
first week in July, and every ten days
thereafter. Any worms or cocoons
that may be found under them can be
killed by running the bands through a
clothes wringer, or by crushing them
otherwise.
Within few years, the Western
orehardists have treated the apple-worm
upon the principle of ''nipping in the
bud" AS soon as the young fruit is
set, the tree is sprayed with Il mixture
of Paris green and water-one pound
of the poison to fifty gallons of water.
This is thrown into the tree by means
of spraying or sprinkling engine, in
the hope that a drop of the poisoned
water will lodge in the eyes of the
young apples. The newly Matched APP
ple-worm, in eating its way into the in-
terror of the young apple, will be so
effectively poisoned. that it must give
up its task. Should the small amount
of Paris green remain upon the fruit
it would be too harmful but the subse-
quent rains thoroughly wash it away
SO that there can be not the least dam
ger in using the poison in this manner.
The chief remedies used in England
are barriers, to prevent the worms
from ascending the trees to spin.
Heavy paper is fastened around the
trunks and smeared with tar; this and
other means are employed as prevents
tives. Agriculturist.
