SENATOR EVARTs' LOG CABIN.

Senator Evarts has erected an old fash toned Log Cabin on an elevated point of land which he lately purchased on the Potomac, just below Washington.
 1t IS much more elegant i'll it's finish and appointments than were the lbmes of our ancestors in the Log Cabin days of long ago, but probably not more conducive to comfort.
 Outside, 1t presents the appearance of the typical old-fashioned house of the pioneers, being built of logs hewn in the adjacent for est and raised and chinkcd in the olden style. The interior will be finished in native woods, from the place, but unlike the primitive original it will be finished in oil
 This is luxury to which the dwellers in the rude Cabins of carly days dared not aspire, 1t being pure luxury and not adding to the comfort of he domicie
 Senator Evarts began the Log Cabin last summer with the determination that, if Gen. Harrison were elected. he would reverse the popular campaign axiom of half century ago, From the log Cabin to the White House, to social axiom of the new admin istration, From the White House to the Log Cabin"
 Harrison was successful; Senator Evarts' new old-fashioncd Log Cabin will doubtless also prove great success. Many happy days surcease from the tolls and cares of his great station, our Log Cabin president will no doubt enjoy bcnt ath it's hospitable roof as the guest of the genial, senior Senator from New York.
 OIeitb 'tS tHe success may De tnQG arlenQS the introduction of this old-time log cabin to fashionable life, it cannot be greater than the success which has attended the introduction of Warmers Log Cabin Sarsapnrilla, ono of tho old-timc effective remedies, the use of which, in primitive times, gave our grand parents health and rugged old age.
 Senator Evnrts' Log Cabin is but another evidence of the tendency in fashionable life, at present so marked, toward things primi- tive and antiquatcd. The new fashion is for things old-fashioncd, and return to tho old fashioned roots and herbs remedies of log cabin days is noted with pleasure, as their common use does not permanently injure the system, as the usc of the mineral drugs of modern medical practice docs.

German Lightheartedness

The Germans know better how to en- joy themselves than any other people on the earth They enter into their sports with an abandon which, while complete, is wholly innocent. They put away all cares for time. There is no melan- choly among a lot of Germans, who are bent upon enjoying the feeting hour to the utmost. The old German adage, sMan lebt nur einmal' Gnan lives only once), is the guiding principle of their
 lives. In this country we have a parallel axiom which is, "Make hay while the sun shines" The meaning is evidently the same as in the case of the German proverb. But the American twists the intent of his proverb into making money, while he has tine strength to make it. And the German places upon his its lit eral expression. It is wise thing to make money while we can; to prepare in the days of youth and strength for the exigencies and decay. But is 1t wise to spend ones youth-the very best part of an existence which in its bright est phase is full of tribulation-in money grubbing ?-Detroit Faee Press.

quence may De compared to the glow of a clear fire, steadily burning almost to white heat. The solemn and the sportive are inter- woven naturally, as the serious and comic scenes in one of Shakespeare's masterpieces Mir. Bright coined almost as many adhesive phrases as Disraeli. Itwas he who first en- ployed "the Cave of Adullam" as metaphor for the refuge of the disaffected, and who com- pared the Adullamites themselves to the Scotch terrier, of which it was difficult to say what portion formed the head and what the tail.
 Indeed it was not hard for those near him to divine the secret of MT. Bright's failure in public life towards the end. The world of politics had grown
 "A world too wide
 For his shrunk shank; and his big, manly
 voice,
 Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound"
 He had been transformed from the old man eloquent into the old man garrulous; and he took pleasure in listening to the senseless chatter of others. At the clubs he was the centre of set of coteries who understood his weakness, and, while they despised it, yet valued it for it's usefulness. They knew that with the masses his was nnme yet to con- jure with it. Every idle tale, every bit of malignant gossip that could be turned to momentary m advantages for party purposes was poured into the porches of his ear, and his credulity knew no reasonable bounds He was not imbccile, but his over-great conf dence rendered him almost as irresponsible as though his mind had been entirely over- thrown The contrast between his weak and invertebrate utterances and the clear, strong sentences of Mir. Gladstone was painfully ap- parent. His queruous complainings of want of frankness in the ex-Premicrs speeches compelled Mir.

Profit in the Raisin Business.

IN London recently, a well-known artist of the camera was called in to photograph the body of a young lady who had just died under peculiar and distressing circumstances. The body was laid on sofa in the drawing room, and presented a singularly beautiful spectacle. The photographer was left alone in tho room with the body a>d took a negative. After inspecting it he was not satisfied that the exposure had been sufficient, and he took another. And then, to his amazement, he discov cred that the two negatives were not alike. The body must have moved. Not having lost all his nerve by this extra ordinary occurrence, he took a third negative, which was exactly like the second. He instantly summoned the nurse who had been in attendance on the deceased girl, and after some diff culty and delay had the doctor fetched. To cut long story short, the young ladv was not dead at all, but is at this moment convalesccnt. This is true story.

TO BAKE FISH.

Clean the fish thoroughly, wipe dry, and salt inside, stuff with any kind of dressing preferred, and confine by pass ing a coarse thread around it a sufficient number of times to hold it firmly. A portion of large fish may be stuffed and fixed in this way. When ready, place it in the roasting pan with little water, sprinkle with pepper and salt and lay thin slices of salt pork on top to season it. A good steady heat should be kept up, and the fish pasted often until nearly done, then stop, to allow tho outside to become crisp and delicate brown. The meat should be moist and delicious, not dry, as fish not pasted often enough and carelessly cooked will be.

A Lark's Far-Reaching Voice.

MT. J. s. Wood says in the Naturalist: The lark ascends until it looks no larger than a midge, and can with difficulty be seen by the unaided eye, and yet every note will be clearly audible to persons who are fully half mile from the nest over which the bird utters its song. Moreover, it never ceases to sing for q moment, feat which seems wonderful to us human beings, who find that 8 song of six or seven minutes in length, though interspersed with rests and pauses, is more than trying. Even a practised public speaker, though he can pause at the end of each sentence, finds the applause of the audience a very well come relief. Moreover, the singer and speaker need to use no exertion save ex- ercising their voices. Yet the bird will pour out continuous song of nearly twenty minutes in length, and all the time it has to support itself in the air by the constant use of its wings.

JOHN BRIGHT DEAD,
THE OLD ENGLISH STATESMAN
 PASSES QUIETLY AWAY.

Brief Sketch of His Career-Prom-
 fnent Among the Promoters and
 Advocates of the Anti-Corn Law
 League.
 This illustrious English statesman was born at Greenbank, near Rochdale, November 16, 1911, member of a family of Friends. His first introduction to public affairs was in the reform agitation of 1s31-2, and he came out more prominently among tue original pro- motors and advocates of the Anti-Corn Law League, of which he became one of the chief representatives. Alongside of Richard Cob den he labored with extraordinary zeal and energy in this cause, and his massive elo- quence contributed largely to it's success as popular movement. In 1889 he married very beautiful young Quakeress, Elizabeth Priestman, of Newcastle -on-Tyne, but she died in 1S41-a loss which he keenly felt. In April, 1S43, he made his first attempt-an unsuccessful one to obtain scat in Parlia- ment for the city of Durham. Undaunted by his defeat, he presented himself again as a candidate before the same constituency in July of the same year, when another election took place, and this time he was successful He continued the representative of Durham until 1S47, in which year he was elected for Manchester. He began to take part in the debates of the Commons very soon after his

LETTER FROM THE POPE.
His Reply to Cardinal Gibbons and
 the Archbishops.

The following is the substance of Pope Leo KILLS letter addressed to his Eminence James Cardinal Gibbons in reply to the letter of the chbshops of the United States:
 "To our beloved son James, Cardinal Gib- bons, Archbishop of Baltimore: Beloved son, health and apostolic benediction. We have read your impressive and powerful letter of the 3Oth of December, written in your own name and in that of the other Archbshops of the United States. It does honor to you, while it affords us no little consolation.
 "For nothing could be more appropriate to the time or more worthy of your high office than the public defence of the liberty and rights of the Apostolic See and the de- voted clergy of Italy against the attacks of those who, holding forciblc possession of our city, endeavor by threats of punishment to stific the very voices of those whose duty it is to proclaim the laws of the Church. And be- cause you have made this defence with pru. dence and vigor, both justice and religion owe you debt of gratitude; and this the more because your defence has the merit of constancy.
 "These striking proofs of your faith and zeal serve to bind our hearts in closer union, and inspire with the pleasing hope that your words will have weight with those even who, though not in communion with us, are at least unbiased witnesses of the injuries n- f1icted upon and the Church. Moreover. we are consoled not only because your decla- ratlons, which are in accord with those of the other dignitaries of the Church, may win the jealous support of upright and intelligent men; but we rejoice especially in this that your prayers, united with those of the rest of the faithful, confirm and increase our confi- dence in the Almighty power and ever watch ful providence of God.
 Sustained by this hope, and praying that the fitness of heavenly gifts may descend up- on you, beloved son, upon the other Arch bishops of the United States. and upon the clergy and faithful intrusted to your and their care we impart to you and them, as O pledge of our love, the apostolic benediction.
 "Given at St. Peter's, at Rome, on the 18th day of February, in the year of our Lord, 1880, the 11th year of our ponti6cate.
 LEO XIII, Pope."

ENGLAND'S GREAT BOAT RACE,
The Light Blue Eight Wins Easily.

The Light Blue Eight Wins Easily.
 The annual eight-oared boat race between the selected crews of the Oxford and Cam- bridge Universities was rowed in England over the Putney-Mortlake course of four miles and a quarter. The result, as shown by the practice, both on the Thames and on the home waters, was an easy win for Cam bridge, which brings the light-blue record one less than that of Oxford, the latter having 23 wins to Cambridge 22, with one dead-hcat.
 There was the usual large attendance. The weather was somewhat threatening, with a light fog, little wind and excellent water. The start was made at 1:15 p. m., and Cam bridge taking the lead, reached Hammer smith Bridge, mile and three quarters from the start, a length the best of Oxford. Up to that point the rowing had been excellent by both crews. heavy rain then began falling and Oxford began to drop behind. Her crew, handicapped by bad steering, became demoralized and narrowly escaped an upset. In the meantime Cambridg ge kept on and with 8 machine-like stroke was five or six lengths n front at Barnes Bridge, with only five fur longs to row. After passing under the bridge the Oxford crew made determined spurt, but could not reach Cambridge, who won easily by four lengths in 20 minutes 14 seconds.
