"Our content is our best having"
says Shakespeare; but it is only the
few who really know what the word
means. There ia an old Indy, how
ever, living in 4 quiet New England
town, who is actually q contented wo-
man. One day she was sitting In the
porch, placidly knitting, when a book
agent appeared. After finishing the
business part of his interview, and in
ducing her to subscribe for Scenes
from Joppa," in twelve numbers, he

"Oh, no, not too lonesome; 1 don't

Il guess the wind whistles some

Maybe it does, ! won't say it don't;
but it only makes me thankful we've
got enough fire wood"
How Is it about booksi l don't sup
pose you have n library in town."
well, no, not TO call a library" said
she, cautiously not wishing to hear her
native place disparaged; 4'but there's
books in circulation. Mis- Miles has

Husband says there's good speak
in in caucus, some of it real violent;
and if you want TO hear singin', sir,
you just como into our Sunday school.
Sometimes it fairly makes the tears
come into my eyes, to hear them little

well, well" said the book agent,
'Tyese @ a good many folks that cali

think N of 'em could come up to
you. Shut up in this lonesome place,
and making the best of it, tool Why,

"Oh yes" said the old lady, primly,
not too well pleased at hearing herself
praised at the expense of her beloved

PropeIling Trains on Up Grades.

In order TO secure the traction nee
essary TO propel trains up the steep
grades in the mountainous districts OF
the eastern and western states, 1t is
necessary TO employ very large and
heavy engines-in many cases two and
mor-entailing thereby very heavy
expense. A mechanical engineer Of
Albany, N. Y, has invented o device
which has been practically demon
strated TO secur the fractional eff
fort" necessary without the use of ad-
ditional or heavy weight" engines

Affixed under the locomotives are two
wheels in n nearly horizontal position

Of the rail, and In action grip it more

Probably no one has noted the daily
occurrences Of Partisan life, particu-
larly those that take place among the
lower classes, as Emile lola, for pure
ly literary purposes. That revolving

tragic and miserable death, by small
pox, of the once celebrated opera

London some ten or twelve years ago

This is the rankcst sort of maudlin SEN
timentahtv. Reverence for the dead and
sympathy for the surviving kindred is in
hcrent in the breast Of every American,
but occasions frequently arise where the
public good demands a sacrifice OF the in
dividual feelings. This is one of the oc-
c%asions. The motto, God helps those
who helps themselves" must now prevail
or the calamity of last Friday will leave
behind 1t a string of pestilential horrors.
Much sharp, radical human work remains
to be performed and it is well for the sur
vivors and the country that the public
authorities take a practical and not a sen
tiuiental view of the situation.

Mummified Human Heads.

: There is a most interesting ethno-
logical specimen at the art museum,
recently presented by Mrs. T. Has
saurek. 1t was brought from Ecuador
by the late Frederick Hassaurek. It
is a dried human head from the
Jivaros Indians on the Napo river,
Ecuador, South America There are
few of these heads now. The Ma
tional Museum at Washington
has one, | believe. The heads
thus treated are always trophies
taken from n slain enemy An in
cision is made quite through the skin
around the neck, well down toward
the shoulders. The skin IS then
drawn off over the head, just as one
would do in fiaying an animal, cut
tings being made wherever muscular
adhesion made it necessary. The
features are thus left intact. The
skin is then soaked in an infusion of
some kind of herb. The second step
consists in filling the skin with hot
pebbles and sand, over and over, until
it is quite shrunken and dry. The
soaking in the decoction and the
shrinking and drying are alternately
practiced until the trophy is reduced
to the desired proportions. The
mouth is then sewed up, a cord is
passed through the top of the head,
and the head is hung up in the smoke

II is interesting to read at this time
the description of the White House
which Mrs. John Adams wrote in 1900
1t was occupied in 1900 for the first
time 1t was begun in 1892, and was
fashioned after the plan of the palace
of the Duke of LeinsJer. jefferson,
the exponent of simplicity. favored a
more elaborote and ornate structure.
When Presidcpt Adams moved into the
White House, in 1900, his wife wrote
that il was on a grand and superb
scale; but that bells were wholly want
ing, that wood was not to be had. al
though the place was surrounded with
forests; that they could not use coal
because they could not get CRATES. and
that the great unfinished audience
room they used as a drying-room To
hang clothes in. But she thought the

met and have decided upon the general
lines of classification and the main cha.
racteristics of the exhibits. The Building
Committee has met twice. The first, time
general outlines were discussed and one
subcommittee was formed to visit and select
suitable sites % to report. Another sub
committee undertook the consideration of
the style and the extent of the buildings
and were TO prepare draft designs fer sub
mission to the Committee.
at the second meeting of the Building
Committee, some three or four designs and
plans were submitted, and many valuable
hints and suggestions given and taken and
greatest step in advance of all-the site
was definitely decided on.
Our readers wi i'll thus see that substan-

guarantee fund would nerve and stimulate
the COMMITTED to renewed Efforts aud ex-
ortl0n aud We are sure the gentlemen who
are serving on these Committees are deserv-

and telegraph companies, as to the rate
Of transport and for messages. Tie Gene

the question of prizes, medals and general
awards, the striking of commemorative
medals, by the sale of which the funds may
be considerably augmented, the arrange
ments necessary to provide for the daily
amusement and refreshment Of visitors, in
the way OF concerts, fire works, illuminatiOns,
and other entertainments and the organi-
cation of Restaurants and Bars. All this,
and many other important questions, will
come within the purview of the General
Purposes Committee.
At the General Meeting of the Executive
Committee, which is to take place every

and the whole position and progress of the
scheme, in it's various branches, will be
generally reviewed and confirmed, and the
Committees will go to work again, strength
