A Sagacious Dog.

Some ten years ago NJ. Gambetta
was returning from Paris to his home
in N. He was in his trap. The
night was very dark. He went
slowly, for he could not see his
horses head. Suddenly the horse
reared. A man who was lying on
the road had felt the horses nose
touch his face, and had started up.
AS soon as Gambetta saw what had
occurred, he said: "You stupid fell
low! You came within an ace of be-
ing killed"
81 wish I had been!"
"Why SOP"

eyes; here is the only one left
me-"
Gambetta united his retriever that
was under the trap, held the coin to
his nose, and said: $50 fetch, Tom"
Off Tom bounded, and every
minute came back with louis dor
in his mouth. In half an hour the
workman had all his money again.
His master was so well pleased that
the next day he bought Tom new
collar, and had the date of the in
cident engraved on it.

The New Congressional Library.

Workmen are busy demolishing
the buildings east of the Capital prior
to laying the foundation of the Con-
gressional Library Building for which
the necessary funds have been APP
propriated by Congress. From APP
pearances one would infer that this
section had been visited by an earth
quake, SO complete is the demolition.
Some of the conspicuous landmarks
of the city are included in the num-
Der of edifces tobe torn down, among
which is Carroll Row once owned by
Daniel Carroll, of Burlington, (whO
erected it in 1899, and occupied by
the Government during the war for
housing the contrabands (slaves) that
flooded the city at that time. Subse-
quently other arrangements were
made for the contrabands, and it was
used as an annex to the Old Capital
prison TILL some manthS after the war.
1t was here that several persons
arrested for conspiracy in the assassi-
nation of President Lincoln were
confined, including Mrs Surratt. Dur
ing thetearing away of thewoOdwork
aconsiderable quantity of Confederate
money was found secreted there. On
the ground once occupied by these
buildings and many others is to be
erected much-needed building for
the Library-a building that will in
every way be an ornament to Wash
ington, and will contain the largest
library in the United States.

Take an Inventory.
Cor. Maryland Farmer.

Cor. Maryland Farmer.
AS the New Year comes near, I
would advise my brother farmers to
take an inventory. Ifthey do notdo
this, how can they tell how much
they gain or lose from year to year?
Merchants, manufacturers, ETC., take
an inventor of the stock on hand at
the close of the year, because without
this they cannot know how they
prosper. They may have on hand
stock worth a thousand dollars, more
or less than they had twelve months
before. Their bank account alone
does not reveal to them whether they
have lost or gained but their bank
account together with their stock on
hand and the excess of credits over
debts or vice versa on their books.
So it is with the farmer. We are apt
to estimate our profit or loss from
our cash account only. If we have
paid off debts or loaned money dur
ing the year, we say we have made
money, taking no account of the
stock on hand. Yet the stock we
have on hand may be worth less
than that we had year ago by an
account greater than the debt we
have paid off or the loan we have
made. Often when we think we have
lost money during the year, the in
ventory would show that we had
gained. We had improved our farms,
made them more productive, fenced
them better; we have more live
stock on hand, etc. 1t will be seen
that an inventory should be an agree
able surprise; it should show us that
our farms have grown more produc-
tive, are better fenced and cultivated;
that we have more good young stock
growing into money and more feed
to give them that we have more Ia
Dor saving and culture bettering i'm
plements and machines. But I fear
that to too many farmers, such an in
ventory would be a disagreeable en-
lightener, revealing especially less
productive farm.
The farmers stock on hand which
should be inventoried comprises his
land, buildings, fences, animals, grain
and fodder, implements and ma
chimes, household furniture, etc. TIC
inventory it is not SO difficult, espec.
tally after the first time, for then
nearly every article will be already
listed. The real value of the various
articles can be very nearly arrived
at. 1t is not possible to measure to q
cent the wearand tear of implements
machines, furniture, work animals
etc.; but this can be estimated closely
enough to make the inventory sug
gestive, valuable and satisfactory

Paper Patterns.

A description of how these efficient
aids to amateur dressmaking are
made, is given in the New York
Mail and Express
When a design has been submitted
designing styles is profession by
itself-and has been approved, COM
petent filters initiate the design in
cheap muslin, simply basting the
parts together, yet being extremely
careful to obtain a perfect and we'll
fitting model from which the pattern
may be copied.
These models, to insure a sure and
stylish figure, are fitted to a live
model, who wears the ghostly dress
till every plat is properly adjusted,
and the garment made to compare
exactly with the original design.
This cloth model is then sent to the
description-writer, who carefully rips
it apart, at the same time marking
each portion that it may be exactly
replaced from the direction she writes
to accompany each pattern.
Next comes the grader, who takes
the dissected garment and cuts an ex-
act pattern of each part, putting in
all the notches and perforations as
marked upon the cloth by the de-
scription-writer. The latter by this
time has sent the directions to the
printer, who is fast making ready the
envelopes to hold the pattern when
completed.
The grader, who has system of
measurement known only to the pro-
fession, prepares separate patterns or
duplicates of the garment properly
enlarged or diminished, to suit both
great and small. He sends these
pasteboard patterns Of the different
sizes to the cutters, who stand before
large tables with immense sheets of
tissue paper in layers of fifty, spread
before them. The pattern is then
marked upon them and cut out with
large shears, and then is handed to
girls, who, with trained fingers, rapid
ly fold and place them in the envel-
opes now waiting.
Much art-work is required in an
establishment of this kind, as the
cloth model, after fitting, has to be
sketched by skillful artists, who are
to bring out, in the most graceful
manner, the curves, folds, and vari-
GUS novelties represented in the fash.
ion, to make as acceptablea wood-cut
as possible to use in the illustrated
catalogue, upon the envelopes, and
other advertising mediums.
Over a million patterns are solo
yearly by one house, agencies being
established all over theworld, though
it is conceded that the most substan
tial orders are coming from the grow
ing West, and from towns where the
facilities for obtainining reliablestyles
are few and feeble.
From fifteen to sixty new style
are manufactured monthly, and these
sometimes form nucleus for two
hundred page magazine, partially
made up of stories, articles on ar
decoration, practical housekeeping
etc., forming still another solid me
dunn for further circulation of the
styles manufactured.
Twice year styles are "killed" il
order to keep the stock reduced t
the proper number. The undesira

Services of Henry Smith.

There are always several letters
awaiting Speaker Carlisle's eye, which
show how completely some people are
willing to make use of the public SER
wants OF the country. These letters
are communications requesting the
Speaker to decide some parliamentary
point which is troubling some organi-
cation. Occasionally a debating club
gets all torn up over something in
Cushing's Manual and agree to refer
the settlement of the whole dispute to
the Speaker of the House OF Represen-
tatives. Mr.. Carlisle usually hands
oil such letters to Mr.. Henry II. Smith,
the journal clerk and author of the
book. OF over 500 pages containing the
manual and digest, and rules and prac-
ticee OF the House. Mr.. Smith is what
the boys call a parliamentary shark"
He sits in front of the. Speakers desk
and follows the oourse OF legislation
more closely than any member upon
the floor. When the House is in q
tangle, and a. dozen men are upon
their feet making this or that parlia-
mentary inquiry, Harry Smith is the
coolest man there. Not only does he
know tho proper rulings, but his fin
gers fly over the leaves OF the reference
books, and in halfa minute the Speak
er has before him all the presidents
by which he can justify his position

A story Of the Empress Eugene.

A Story of the Empress Eugene.
The following, says the Pail Mall
Gazette, is thelatest story that istold
about the Empress Eugene, who has
ever been a striking figure since the
day she charmed Napoleon III. with
the wreath Of violets which she wore
in her golden hair. "Twas morning
then, but now the, night has come"
A few days ago, says the chronicler, g.
visitor of the Marcus church at Venice,
where the ex-empress is now staying,
observed a lady dressed in deepest
mourning kneeling in long, silent
prayer before one OF the side alters.
When at last she rose che looked
about her in search ofsomething which
she missed, and then walked slowly
away, and supporting herself by the
wall, toward the entrance. The
stranger politely offered his arm,
which was gratefully accepted, the
lady meanwhile explaining that one of
the beggars must have taken her sill
ver-headed walking-stick away, with
out which she was Every helpless"
Outside the church two liveried foot
men were waiting; the stranger on re-
firing offered his address card (alas,
for cruel Nemesis, he was German
from Berlin!), glancing at which the
lady was seen to shudder slightly and
then return the civility by whispering:
Empress Eugene, and-homeless."

The Quaker Senator.

One OF the best natured senators is
Senator Chase, of Rhode Island. He
was born in Massachusetts in 1929
and is an extensive cotton manufac-
turer. He was reared q Quaker and
still retains the peculiar style ofspeech
OF that sect. He is good story-teller
and Outlines tells the following good
story on himself upon his advent into
the senate at the expense of Senator
Voorhees,: 1t appears he had been
sworn in during Mr., Voorhees, absence
and the Indiana statesman had not
met the new Senator. A short while
after the opening of the session Mr..
VOORHEES, delivered one of his stirring
speeches and the new senator was
highly pleased with the speech and the,
distinguished senator's manner and
address. When Mr.. Voorhees, had
finished, Senator Chase approached
him and said: II thank thee, friend
Daniel, for that speech thee has just
made" Senator Voorhees, surveyed
the speaker from head to foot and
then grufly asked: "Who. are you,
anyhow If they've appointed q
Quaker doorkeeper, hell will be to
payl" Explanations followed and
then there was a hearty laugh all
around. is5 g 3s5s s5-:.ssE =; -. =.

Lincoln and Stanton,

1t has often been asserted that Sec
rotary Stanton ruled Mr.. Lincoln.
This is mistake. The Secretary
would frequently overawe and some
times browbeat others, but was never
imperious in dealing with the Presi-
dent. This have from Mr.. Watson,
for sometime Assistant Secretary OF
War, and Mr.. Whiting, while solicitor
OF the. War Department. Lincoln,
however, had the highest opinion OF
Stanton, and their relations were al
ways most kindly. The following an
ecdote illustrates the character OF the
two men and Mr.. Lincoln's method
of dealing with a. dilemma. It is re-
lated that a committee of Western
men, headed by Mr.. Lovejoy, procured
from the President IN important or
der looking to heexchange of Eastern
and Western soldiers with view to
more effective work. Repairing to
the Office Of the Secretary, Mr.. Love
Joy explained the scheme, as he had
done before to the President, but was
met by fiat refusal.
"But we have the Presidents order,
sir" said Lovejoy.
"Did Lincoln give you an order OF
that kind?" said Stanton.
"He did, SIR"
"Then he is id fool" said the
irate Secretary.
'"Do you mean to say the President
is q id fool?" asked Lovejoy in
amazement.
"Yes, sir, if he gave you such an or
der as that"
The bewildered Congressman from
Illinois betook himself at once to the
President and related the result OF
his conference. :,
ibid Stanton say I was id
fool?" asked Lincoln, at the close OF
the recital:
"He did, sir; and repeated it."
After moments pause, and look
ing up, the President said:
eff Stanton said 1 was a id fool,
then I must be one, for he is nearly al
ways right, and generally says what
he means. I will step over and see
him" George w. 'Julien's Reminis.
