the coats-of-arms of all the states and ma

surmounted the coats Of arms. The face of

At the entrances of the house and senate
cordons of police kept back the crowds and
reinforced the doorkeepers
The attraction was the senate chamber,
where the vice president was to he sworn in.
About fifteen hundred tickets had been is
sued to senators and other distinguished per-
sons, who rtre to be admitted to the floor,
friends of senators and representatives, to
whom the privileges of the gallery had been
extended, members Of the press and others.
At 10 o'clock the east doors of the senate
wing of the capitol were thrown open and
the visitors poured in. The tickets which
they carried were Of various colors, to indi-
cate the particular place to which each were
entitled to admittance.
In the senate chamber couches had been
placed in the semi-circle space in front of the
platform occupied by the presiding officer
and clerks. In the center of this space were
placed the seats to be occupied by the presi-
dent and president-elect Between the chairs
usually occupied by members of the senate
had been placed other seats, and directly be-
hind the last Of the senator's desks had been
placed a number Of couches and chairs

opponents, il the decision had been in our
favor.
mo other people have a government more
worthy Of ther respect and love, or land
so magnificent in extent, so pleasant to look
upon and 50 full OF generous suggestion to
enterprise and labor. God has placed upon
our head diadem and has laid at our feet
power and wealth beyond definition or cal
culatiou. But we must not forget that we
take these gifts upon the condition that JUS
tice and mercy shall hold the reins of power,
and that the upward avenues Of hope shall
be free to all people
Il do not mistrust the future. Dangers
have been in frequent ambush along our
path, hut we have uncovered and van
quishel them ALL Passion has swept some
Of our communities, but only to give us a
new demonstration that the great body Of
our people are stable, patriotic and law
abiding. No political party can long pursue
advantage at the expense of public honor, or
by rude and indecent methods, without pro-
test and fatal disaffection in its own body.
The peaceful agencies of commerce are more
fully revealing the necessary unity of all our
communities, and the increasing intercourse
of our people Is promoting mutual respect.
''We shall find unalloyed pleasure in the
revelation which our next census will make
Of the swift development of the great re-
sources Of some of the states. Each state
will bring its generous contribution to the
great aggregate of the nations increase, and,
when the harvests of the fields, the cattle
from the hills, and the ores of the earth shall
have been weighed, counted and valued,
we will turn from them all to crown with
the highest honor the state that has most
promoted education, virtue, justice and pa
triotism among its people"
The crowd Immediately about the platform
remained with heads uncovered during the
delivery of the entire address and frequently
interrupted the president with vociferous
applause. At the conclusion of the address
they cheered again and again. The presi
dent bowed his acknowledgements. He was
then escorted through the cheering crowd
on the platform into the capitol He walked
to the basement door where he had entered
the building and where his carriage was
waiting for him. He and the ex-presidenI
with two members of the committee of ar
rangements took seats in the carriage and
were driven out to join the procession.
The down pour of rain has continued sinc'

WASHINGTON, March 4.-The climax of
the great events of the day was the grand
ball at the pension building. In all its con-
ditions, it was the most impressive social
gathering in the history Of this or perhaps
any other country.
The pension building court, with its acre
of dancing floor was beautifully garlanded
With flags and flowers. In the center stood
a two-story Japanese pagoda. The lower
part of the structure was grotto built Of
rocks and ferns.

complacently. We believe that this

VIII, and, though not venomous, his
jaws are as powerful as a birds beak,
and you are not likely to forget the en-
counter. The bodies of these spiders
are very handsomely decorated, being
bright gold or scarlet underneath, while
the upper part is covered with the most
delicate slate colored fur. So strong are
the webs that birds the size of larks are
frequently caught therein, and even the
small but powerful scaly lizard falls a
victim. A writer says that he has often
sat and watched the yellow monster
measuring, when waiting for his prey
with his legs stretched out, fully six
understanding across the middle of the
net, and noted the rapid manner in
which he winds his stout threads around
the unfortunate captive. He usually
throws the coils about the head till the
wretched victim is first blinded and
then choked. In sany u~nfrequented
daSlk hooks of the jungle you comea across
most perfect skeletons of small birds
caught in these terrible snares, the
strong folds of which prevent the deli
cate bones from falling to the ground
after the wind and weather have dis
persed the flesh and feathers.-Ex-

A Chinaman ON Walking.

Nobody ever saw a Chinaman with
muddy shoes, 10 matter what the
weather, unless some hoodlums had
pushed him into apuddle. We take care
of II feet instinctively, and get into a
habit of walking carefully. If you
watch ON a muddy crossing YOU will see
one American after another pick his way
over cautiously, and yet land on the
other side with mud on his toes, while a
Chinaman will walk along after them at
his usual gait. and, seemingly not motto.
ing his feet, stepping on the other curb
withnot a particle of mud ON the tops of
his shoes. But when he crossed the
street he did not walk as the American
did. Had he done so he would have
been as muddy as they. They stepped
along gingerly ON their toes, or, at least,
the front part of the foot. In this way
they put all the weight of their body on
the thinnest part of the shoe, from top
TO bottom, and wheni it fiattened out with
each step the mud touched the leather.
The Chinaman walked over with the
weight Of his body on the heel and in
step of the shoe, and the toe barely graz
ing the ground. The foot of the shoe
that felt his weight was firm and un-
yielding, and did not spread into the
m~ud.--Fung Loud in St. Louis Globe

Gen. Knox, of revolutionary fame, was
a man of quick perceptions and ready
wit, and withal was accustomed to say
what he pleased. After the war he lived
at Thomastown. Me-, where he had a
large estate.
Gen. George Timer, of one Of the
neighboring towns, presented himself to
Gen. Knox one day as q land surveyor.
lie detailed somewhat ostentatiously his
long experience, together with his recent
purchase of q new and very superior set
of instruments. If Gen. Knox needed
any service in his line, he would engage
to give perfect satisfaction.
"You're the very man | have been
looking for!' exclaimed Gen. Knox. Il
have a hundred acres of land which l
wish to divide into house lots of ten acres
each. How many will it make::'
Timer was considerably disconnected
by the suddenness of the question, and,
naturally enough, was prepared to find
it difficult. He began to collect himself,
mentally ~re-stating the premises, and
striving to acquire sufficient GOODNESS to
solve the problem correctly.
Gen. Knox counted as many seconds
as he thought necessary, and then inter
rupted the other cogitations by remark
ing, abruptly, sob, well, its no matter
about an immediate answer. Any other
time will do just as well" and at once
fell to talking about something else.
Timer was so %ehagrined at his own
stupidity that he never preached the sub
ject afterward.-Youth's Companion.

The Parrot Joked Him.

The small sized advertising man with
the Brobdignagian mustache and the
two-ton cane is nothing if not dignified,
but his dignity received a royal shock
one morning not long ago. He resides
over near the domicile of nj James
Hitchcock. who has achieved a batting
record in the drug business second to
none. Mr.. Hitchcock owns an emerald
parrot which has remarkable command
of language, and on fine days this parrot
is given a place in the front window
overlooking the sidewalk. 1t was a fine
day when the small advertising man
passed the house, wearing his Niagara
mustache and auditorium cane. The
parrot was in the window, and as the
hero of our story walked by with great
dignity the green parrot said: "How
dye do, little boy?" The advertising man
was taken aback, but he replied: How
dye do, Polly" lie did not really mean
it, however, as he was somewhat sore on
the parrots reference to his size.-Chi-
cago Herald.
