Senator Evarts' Log Cabin.

Senator Evarts has erected an old fash
Soued Log Cabin on an elevated point Of
land which he lately purchased on the Poto.
mac, just below Washington.
It is much more elegant in its finish and
appointments than were the homes OF our
ancestors in the Log Cabin days of long
ago. but probably not more conducive to
comfort
Outside, it presents the appearance Of
the typical old fashioned house Of the pio-
neers, being built Of logs hewn in the ada
cent forest and raised and chinked in the
olden style The interior viii be finished
in native woods, from the place, but, unlike
the primitive original, it will be finished in
oil
This 70 luxury to which the dwellers in
the rude Cabins Of early days dared not
aspire, it being pure luxury, and not adding
to the comfort Of the domicile.
Senator Evarts began the Log Cabin last
summer with the determination that, il
Gen. Harrison were elected, he would re-
verse the popular campaign axiom Of half .
century ago, ''From the Log Cab.l to the
White House, I" to q social axiom of the new
administration, 'sFrom the White House to
the Log CABIN"
Harrison was successful; Senator Evarts'
new, old-fashioned, Log Cabin will doubt
.ess also prove q great success. Many .
happy days surcease from the tolls and
:ares Of his great station, our Log Cabin
president will no doubt enjoy beneath its
hosp,table roof as the guest Of the genial,
senior Senator from New York.
Great as the success may be that attends
the introduction Of this old-time log cabin
20 fashionable life, it can not be greater
than the success which has attended the
introduction Of Warmers Log Cabin Sarsa-
parilla, one of the old-time, effective RENE
lies, the use Of which, in primitive times,
gave our grand parents health and rugged
I'D age.
Senator Evarts' log cabin is but another
evidence Of the tendency in fashionable
life, at present so m ,rked, toward things
primitive and antiquated. The new fashion
is for things old-fashioned, and return to
the old fashioned roots and herbs remedies
If log-cabiu days is noted with pleasure, as
their common use does .Jt permanently
injure tho system, rs the use Of the min
sral drugs Of E5dern medical practice
does.

AS the Twig Inclines.

George Westinghouse, Jr., throughout
his entire life has shown a markell me-
chanical bent and his own mind has
constantly run on Inventions, the object
of which was To do by machinery what
had previous y been done by hand.
His father owned and ope erated a
large works at Schenectady, N Y, for
the manufacture of agricultural imple-
menss, and he showed his good sense in
giving his boys, as part of their ed
ucation, practical instructions in me-
chanIcs.
George, in early days was very fond
of playing ball, and sometimes his
father, on returning to the works, would
find the lad absent for obvious reasons
These absences led to interviews. At
last it was decided that Georges work
should be arranged on the piece system
instead of on the time system. In other
words, his task was thenceforth 10 con-
Sist of a given amount of work each day
which he might expedite as much as he
pleased, and, after il was done, he was
at liberty to repair to the btu grounds
Here was an opportunity for Invention,
and the lad did not fail TO utilize it.
Without any previous knowledge of the
now well-Known disc method of cut
ting meta's, he experimental and soon
discovered that with a circular disc OF
soft sheet iron on the highest speed OF
his lathe, he could split a file. He
quickly utilized this method Of CON-
pleting his daily task, and repaired 50
early each day to the ball grounds that
his father at first feared a miscount
had occurred. On watching George at
work, however, he soon saw with his
own eyes how the remarkable feat was
accomplished.

But my angel babies accents shall be eyermore

And the bright band now around me- from

In their strength no more depending, on my
