Washington at his Inauguration.

From a profusely illustrated series of
articles on the Centennial of Inaugural
tion in the April CENTURY we quote the
following: "Washington was dressed
in full suit of dark brown cloth manu-
factured in Hartford, with metal but
tons with an eagle on them, and with
a steel-hilted dress sword, white silk
stockings, and plain silver shoe-buckles.
His hair was dressed and powdered in
the fashion of the day and worn in a
bag and solitaire Chancellor Robert
r. Livingston, one of the committee of
FIVE to draft the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, thirteen years before, was
dressed in tull suit of black cloth and
wore the robe of Office. Just before the
oath was to be administered it was dis
covered that no Bible was in Federal
Hall. Luckily Livingston, a Grand
Master of Free Masons, knew that
there was one at st. Johns Lodge in
the City Assembly Rooms near by, and
a messenger was dispatched to borrow
the Bible, which is to-day the property
of St. Johns Lodge No. /, the third
Oldest Masonic lodge in the United
States.
'Secretary Otis of the Senate held be-
fore him red velvet cushion, upon
which rested the open Bible Of ST..
Johns Lodge. You do solemnly swear ,
said Livingston, that you will faithfully
execute the Office of President of the
United States, and will, to the best of
your ability, preserve, protect. and de-
fend the Constitution of the United
States i do solemnly swear re-
piled Washington, that | will faith
fully execute the office of President of
the United States, and will, to the best
of my ability, preserve. protect, and de-
fend the Constitution of the United
States He then bowed his head and
kissed the sacred Book, and with the
deepest feeling uttered the words, SO
help me Godl' The Chancellor then
proclaimed, Long live George WASH
ington, President of the United StatesI'
The instant discharge of thirteen can
mons followed, and with loud repeated
shouts and huZzas the people cried,
God bless our Washington; long live
our beloved Presidentl' The President
bowed to the people, and the air again
rang with acclamations. Washington,
followed by the company at the bal
cony, now returned to the Senate
Chamber, where he took his seat and
the senators and representatives their
seats. When Washington arose to
speak all stood and listened with eager
and marked attention.
AFTER delivering his address, the
President. accompanied by the Vice
President, the Speaker. the two houses
of Congress, and all who attended the
Inauguration ceremony, proceeded on
foot to St. Paul's Church. The same
order was preserved as in the process
sion from the Presidents house to Fed
eral Hall. The military made good
figure as they lined the street near the
church. The services in the church
were conducted by the Chaplain of the
Senate, the Rt. Rev. DR.. Samuel Pro.
voost, Bishop of the Episcopal Church
of New York.

WFOMINGS RESOURCES.

Many kind words are being said of
Wyoming in the effort of the territory to
secure admission into the Union. The
latest is from the Omaha Bee "A con-
vention to frame a state constitution for
Wyoming will meet at Cheyenne on the
frst Monday in September. At the cleo
ton last year for delegate in congress the
vote in Wyoming was in round figures
eighteen thousand, which, by the ordi-
nary rule of computation, ave the terri
tory a population of ninety thousand.
The number at present is doubtless not less
thar one hundred thousand. The terri
tory contains an area of about ninety
eight thousand square miles, about equal
to that of New York, Ohio, New jersey
and Delaware combined.
The III are great aud very di-
versiie1. The grazing fields are said to
be unsurpassed on the continent. There
is an abundant supply of timber. The
coal area of the territory covers more than
nineteen million acres. 1t is believed that
the oil fields are not equalled elscw here
on the continent. Gold, silver AID cop
per mines are found in the territory.
Marble. granite and sandstone of excel
lent qualities for building purposes are
abundant. In a word, so far as natural
resources arc concerned. Wyoming is
most richly supplied, and with the means
of development provided her growth in
material prosperity and in population
could not fail to be rapid.
For the purpose of agricultural de.
vclopment Wyoming will require an ex.
tensive system OF irrigation, but this will
not be so difficult to provide as in some
other arid sections. 1t is estimated that
from ten to twenty million acres of the
arid lands Of the territory may be re-
claimed with the water found in the
streams in the territory. The soil is
fertile and wherever irrigated becomes
exceptionally productive. There is nc
doubt that agriculture can be successfully
prosecuted with an adequate system Of
irrigation, but the wealth of the territory
will be derived IRON its great mineral re-
sources.

for statehood and TREY will urge theil
claims to consideration upon the mex

ChiIdren's Diseases---Summer Com
p~Inints.

piilhlS.
Careful statistics show that a large pro-
portion of the human family die before
reaching their fifth year; and that further
examination shows that most OF these
deaths occur from what is known as
Summer Complaints" ,''Diarrheas;"
''Chelora Iufantum;" and "Dysentery.' -
These are all strictly preventable causes of
death and it is a disgrace to the ~civiliza-
ton and medical skill OF the age hat such
mortality should occur.
OF course unhealthy surroundings and
close, ill-ventilated dwellings; sitting
sleeping rooms, hot air and improper
food have much to do in causing and
keeping up these diseases. But bad med
icatiOn has even more to do with the I'M
fortunate results. The medicine most
commonly resorted to, not only do not
cure but often %prolonG and keep up the
disease.
1t is refreshing in this uncertainty to
turn to remedies that not only do not in
iure, but hat do cure. Such are "Humph-
reys Specifics" His four, five and six
are infallible and thousands of families
use them with the most satisfactory re-
sults.-Topeka. Kas., Methodist CLau-

The Thrill of Moose Hunting.

The few moose yet in Names woods
bring no inconsiderable money an
nually to the state. I have been told
of one man who has spent S., 900 in
Maine in trying to kill q moose, and
he has neither secured the moose nor
given up the task, 1t would be greatly
to the benefit of hunters who wish to
call moose if the law was changed so
as to make September an open month,
for only during the September moon
is there reasonable prospect of sue
cess in calling. 1t was once my plea
sure to meet sportsman just in from
moose calling. His Indian had called
a moose to the water, but was unable
to get him to come out of tho bushes,
and shot into the shadows was an
successful. Said the hunter: II have
never seen any sporting to compare
with this. / could hear the moose
coming for an hour, and when he
came down off the hills to the water I
could think of nothing but locomo-
tive off the track and running through
the woods. 1 have killed no moose,
but that experience was worth all this
trip cost me. 1t fairly made my hair
stand on end to hear that moose come.
Yes, sir; it was worth $3.50 of any
mans money."-Forest and Stream.

a New Universal Language.

A Scandinavian genius has invent
ed a new universal language which he
thinks will take the starch out of Vo-
lapuk and the rest of the crop. His
root words are entirely derived from
the chief languages of modern Europe.
Professor Max Muller has published,
without comment, letter addressed
to him by the inventor written in the
new language 1t looks outlandish
enough, but anybody who has even a
moderate acquaintance with the Eng
lish, German, French, Spanish and
Italian will find that he can read it
very we'll at sight, though at the first
glance his impression is that the type
has been pied.
This new language somewhat re-
sembles the dentist who, with the for
ceps firmly grasping the offending
tooth of his patient, illustrated by a
series of tremendous twists the bar
barous methods of rival practitioners;
then when at last the tooth hangs only
by shred, he exhibited with pride his
own easy and painless method of ex-
tracing. After one has acquired all
the chief modern tongues he will find
that the proposed universal language
comes quito easy.-New York Sun.

The Bansliee.

The single superstition of which
every one has heard, and which is al
most universal in Ireland, is Of the
banshee. Bean-sidhe is the Irish name
for this wonderful creature, and it lit
orally means 1.-The woman of the fairy
mansions. Her Office is to announce
a coming death. For several nights
she appears, sometimes as a radiant
maiden, sometimes as q decrepit old
woman with long flowing hair, and
walls her plaintive lamentations for
the approaching DEATH If the death
is to occur by natural ailment, the
''keening" of the banshee is simply
measured and pathetic; but if accident
or untoward calamity are to be associ-
ated with it, then her lamentations are
loud and clamorous.
But she is easily disturbed and .vexed,
and if ever frightened away will never
return during the same generation.
This would be a calamity; for while
the Irish banshee favors no particular
class, caste or religion, she only comes
to families of long and respectable
line. She comes as a friendly spirit to
these, not as an inimical one, and to
bo known as family deserving and
possessing her pathetic guardianship,
is regarded as an honor of very ten
der and sacred character. Many truly
believe the banshee to be the spirit Of
some former member of the family.
In Munster there is powerful queen
of the banshee. Her name is Cliodhua
or Cleena, and her powerful spells are
well known to the peasantry of the
south.-Cor. New York Commercia!

What the Shah Has Done for Persia.

/ do not propose to describe in this
paper the manner in which Persia is
governed, but, in order to introduce
one of the greatest of the shah's re-
forms, would remark that by its con-
stitution his majesty was absolute mas
Ter of the lives and goods of all his
subjects. Under the absolute king the
government is carried on by govern
Drs general and governors, and de-
scending chain of lesser officials, aid
ed in the administration of justice by
the priesthood. The Koran is practi-
cally the penal code as well rs the BIZ
Die of the state.
In 1883 the shah published a procla-
nation to the effect that from that
late no one should be punished except
by operation of law, and that all his
subjects had full liberty as to life and
property. AS it had been represented
that this proclamation has been in
part annulled, it is not superhuous to
explain that the subsequent proclama-
lion Of the same year merely prohibit
ed Persians from mortgaging their
lands or hypothecating their salaries

Head Hunting In the Sopoanon Islands.
Throughout the group one constant
by sees human skulls hung up either
in or outside the house, but it is from
New Georgia and the adjacent islands
that head hunting is carried on to its
fullest extent. Among these natives
it appears TO be perfect passion. No
canoe house can be completed and no
canoe launched without head being
obtained. They make long voyages
in their large tomakos, or head hunt
ing canoes, for the purpose of secur-
ing heads, the chief hunting ground
at the present time being the two ISL
ands Of Choiseul and Isabel, ninety to-
one hundred miles away, which, how
ever, are becoming somewhat "work-
ed out" The basest treachery is often
employed. They will at times visit a
village as friends, and, after staying
for day or two, at given signal
turn upon their hosts, and either kill
them or take them alive. Such case
occurred while was at Rubiana AT
other times they will surprise or cut
off a party fishing on the reef, and no
matter whether they are men, women
or children, the heads count. The
heads, after being slightly smoked,
are stuck up along the rafters of the
roof in the canoe houses, and l have
myself counted thirteen recent heads
in a house at Sisieta. Occasionally the
head hunters themselves meet with
reverses; and while at Rubiana in
quired the reason of some particularly
fine cocoanut trees having been cut
down. was told that it was in con-
sequence of the death of chief who
was killed on a head hunting expe-
