Tho negotiations between the skilled
and willy carpenter and the prpspec-
tive Samoan house owner would
amuso, but hardly meet tho ap-
proval of the business man OF
today. Under tho propitiating in
iiuences of kava, the necessary
presents are produced TO induce
the carpenter TO undertake the con
struction of n house. 1t is begun at
once, without any terms of agreement
and the work advances until the car
pcnter thinks presents necessary,
and he ceases work. Additional gifts
being made, tho carpenter continues
the construction until he deems il nee
essary TO demand another contribu-
ton, when he again stops work. II
the contribution is not forthcoming,
labor is suspended on the incompleted
house, never 10 be undertaken for
completion by another of the craft
and forever afterwards it remains un-
finished and n public reproach TO the
good name of the unfortunate owner,
who, ut the time of its beginning, not
knowing what may DO the ideas of the
carpenter as to the cost of its construc-
ton, must either call upon the COM
munity for aid, which is generally
freely extended, or suffer the humilia-
ton of this unfinished monument

Mr.. Gabbett, district engineer at Abu
road, had q remarkable adventure with
tigers lately. Mr.. Gabbett was travel
ing by trolly between Abu road and
Rob when one of the gatekeepers
gave him khabar of a family of
tigers in an adjoining Jungle,
and Mr.. Gabbett, accompanied
by his trolly men and the old gate
keeper, started at once for the scene
of operations. He had not long to
wait before three fine tigers broke
cover, and he dropped tho foremost
dead with a well directed shot. He
then fired at the next one, but, though
the brute was hard hit, he managed
to make off toward q river bed In the
vicinity. Mr.. Gabbett then had q shot
at the third, and succeeded in wound
ing him badly, but the animal beat a
retreat into a cave hard by. In the
mean time tho tiger which had gone
toward the river bed fell in with a
shepherd, whom he mauled rather
badly. Mr. Gabbett opened fire on
stripes, who was hit and rolled over,
but charged, and was hit twice again.
Mr.. Gabbett was aiming another shot
when his foot slipped and he fell, and
the Infatuated beast dealt him a blow
on the head which rendered him in
sensible. The old gatekeeper- very
pluckily attacked the tiger with his
sword, but only diverted the fury of
the animal to himself. The brute
felled him TO the ground with a stroke
of his paw, and then returned to Mr..
Gabbett This diversion saved that
gentleman's life, for the tiger only
succeeded in ctawing him slightly
and then fell dead. a fourth tiger
also appeared on tho scene, but did
not modest anyone. Mr.. Gabbett was
brought into Abu road.-Calcutta

Mr.. Henry Irving had once a friend ;
he did not ask for orders; but, never
theles, he took the deepest interest in
the great actors performance. He sat
on h eStage night after night, till it
was time 70 ring up the curtain, and
then went up to Nh. Irving's dress
ing room, which he did not leave till
the curtain was about to be rung
down. He could lot go with him
everywhere, but accompanied him to
Southampton when Mr.. Irving was
leaving for tho continent Half heart
broken he saw him go off in the boat,
and in an hour after was missed by
his companions, whose company was
evidently Of no consequence to him.
They were in a state of great anxiety
as to what had happened to Mr.. II
wings devoted friend Three days
after he turned up on the stage of the
Lyceun theatre, having evidently
done the journey on foot, for his feet
were bleeding and his coat was cov-
cred with mud. How the poor dog
discovered his way is among the mys-
teries. MI. Irving's friend is dead;
great was the grief thereat. -Pall Mali

Both the steward and the cook had
demonstrated with Master Tad" upon
bringing into the kitchen of the White
House ''such squads of poor, dirty,
hungry street urchins TO be fed; !" and
at last Peter said that Mrs. Lincoln
must be told.
Tad flew into a rage, ran upstairs to
see his mother himself, and on finding
her out searched the place for his busy
father.
Meanwhile the small objects of his
charity waited at the lower door-for
Peterhad absolutely refused to let them
''stepinside."
The indignant boy spied his father
just crossing the yard, with head
bowed, eyes to the ground, talking
earnestly TO Nh. Seward as they walk
ed TO the department of state together.

The artesian wells of Dakota are
probably tho most remarkable for
pressure and the immense quantity
OF water supplied Of any ever opened.
More than 100 of such wells, from 500
TO 1000 feet deep, are today in Gees
full operation, distributed throughout
twenty-nine counties, from Yankton,
in the extreme south, TO Pembina, in
the extreme north, giving forth a con
slant never varying stream, which Is
in no wise affected by the increased
number of wells, and showing n gauge
pressure in some instances MS high as
1G0, 10, 175 and 1877 pounds TO the
square inch. This tremendous power
is utilized in the more important towns
for water supply, fro protection and
the driving of machinery at n wonder
plant and maintenance when compar-
ed with steam. In the city of Yank-
ton n forty horse power turbine wheel,
operating q tow mill by day and an
electric light plant by night, is driven
by the force OF water flowing from an
artcsian well, tho cost of obtaining
which was no greater than would
have been the cost of developing the
same power, moi counting the contin-
unl outlay necessary, had steam been
employed, for fuel, repairs, and the
salaries for engineer and fireman.
What has been accomplished through
the aid of natural gas and cheap fuel
in building up manufactures else
where, may some day DO rivaled on
the p~rairies Of Dakota by tapping tho
incXhaustiblo power stored in natures

By tho Hamilton turnpike, in Ham,
ilton county, o., and ON the way from
College hill, stands a large sycamore
tree that was planted there in 1889 by
Alice and Phoebe Cary. They were
then Q and - years old, and coming
home from school one day they saw a
small tree q farmer had grubbed and
thrown away in the road. This they
planted and cared for as children will,
and now the tree hourishes, and every

moments shade, and whenever the
Cary sisters went to that part of the
country they paid a visit to their tree.

BIsMAB1n WEEKLY TRIBUNE: FRIDAY. OCT. ii, 1889

suRerings endured by the Pilgrims in leaving
their homes Thus unity of place and even
unity Of time give way to make unity Of
thought more effective. To this end Mr..
Palmer resolved to make each figure Of the
pediment typical Of q thought that contrib
uted to q comprehensive whole. The portraits
are from life as far as possible. The model
measures fourteen feet In length and between
two and three feet in height. The sixteen
figures arefrom twelve to fifteen inches high,
but in the pediment they would have been
nine feet high, 90 as to appear Of life size
from the ground.
The central group represents Elder Brews-
ter standing with hands outstretched in
prayer as the symbol Of Faith At his right
kneels Rose Standish, the wife Of Miles STAN
dish, representing Hope, while at his left is
Charity, represented by Mira White and the
first male child Of the colony, Peregrine
White. Toward the left of Elder Brewster
the figures follow in this order: Self Defense,
Capt. Miles Standish, standing with his arms
folded, In Napoleonic attitude; Adventure,
John Alden, seated on cask, with his child
at his feet, all absorbed in the gun which Al
den carries, the child standing for Inves-
tigation; Meekness, Governor Carver, in q
meeling posture; Danger, an Indian crawl
ing along knife in hand, and his son creeping
after him. In the extreme point Of the pedi-
ment is placed group Of game from the
forest. ..f.

Elder Robinson.

At the right Of Elder Brewster Governor
Bradford, with axe in hand and sticks thrust
into the ground, momentarily resting, stands
for Enterprise Priscilla Mullen stands for
Purity in the attitude of attention to the re-
igious exercises Of Elder Brewster By her
side her small brother is trying to call her
attention to the antlers of deer. Elder
Robinson, who preached the last sermon be-
fore leaving for America, in sitting posture
turning the leaves of Bible in his lap, rep
resents Fidelity. The figure Of pilgrim,
known as Fatigue, rests upon the ground
with his back against the rocks A hungry
wolf means Danger, as well as the Indians
upon the other side.
The figures bear the closest inspection, for
they are all worked out with most faithful
regard to detail. Even the face Of the babe
is modelled as carefully as if it could be seen
from the ground. The grace Of Elder Brew
ter's flowing robes, the. earnest attitude Of
Rose standish, the manly vigor OF Miles
Standish, the youthful beauty Of John Alden,
the conservation of Governor Carver, the
terror inspiring red men, the heroic face Of
Governor Bradford, the childish simplicity Of
Priscilla Mullen and her brother and the
venerable presence Of Elder Robinson-all
Of these have their part in completing beau
tiful and effective whole F. q. MArHER.

because it was impolitic to accept design
that gave such prominence to slave labor at
time when the whole country was in state
of excitement upon that question.
Mr.. Palmer suggested the landing Of the
pilgrims as subject, and he proposed to
make small sketch with the figures of about
oneseventh size. He said he thought it would
not be worth while to make model cor

design would be accepted. With reasonable
assurance Of this sort, and with the recon-
mendation of Capt. Meigs, Mr.. Palmer pre-.
pared the model and carried it to Washing

tic over it, and President Buchanan favored
its adoption. But the secretary of war OBJ

ground that the order, or commission, for

When it was decided to enlarge the Capitol
the designs included the raising Of the dome
as well as the building of what are known
as the wings Of the senate and the house Of
representatives. The work was well along
when the civil war broke out, and then it was
retarded In some degree 1t was during the
early days Of his administration that Presi-
dent Buchanan, who was really charged with
the responsibility Of the whole work. decided
to call upon three representative sculptors Of
America to furnish designs for the pediment
of the house wing The pediment of the
senate wing had been already completed in
its present shape. Invitations were extended
in 1857 to Hiram Powers, Henry K Brown
and Erastus D. Palmer.

signs, because he did not consider the work

the pediment was so large that he would not
assume to decide the latter until after the
meeting Of congress This was rather a Pc
culiar view to take, because the work had al.
ready passed entirely out Of the legislative
branch Of the government. The probability
is the secretary Of war did not care to place
the pilgrims in so conspicuous part Of the
city Of Washington for the same reason that
Capt. Meigs declined to accept Mr. Browns
design, and, although he indorsed the model
as q work of art, he declared that he did not
feel like ordering it to be executed in marble.
Mr.. Palmer saw at once that nothing would
be done. He carried his model back to Al
bany, and the pediment remains vacant to
this day.
