The National CAPITAL.

TIE City Of Washington is an
object Of perennial interest TO oil
patriotic Americans. Not alone
because 10 is the great throbbing
heart Of the mightiest and greatest
Republic the earth has ever known,
but also on account Of its material
magnifcence. All Americans take
pride in its beautiful avenues, ma
jestic architecture, stately homes.
and well stored gallarics and muse
ums as things Of grandeur and
beauty in themselves, apart from
the historic interest with which
they arc invested. 1t Is a hope and
aspiration Of all young Ameri-
cans" at least, to some time or
other visit tho capital Of his coun-
try.

AMONG OUR EXCHANGES.

The case of Elliott Robley
against the Pennsylvania Railroad
Co. for s2S, 200 damage, which was
on trial at Huntingdon for two
weeks, came to "a sudden termina-
ton by Judge Furst directing the
jury to find for the defendant. Mr..
Robley, who lost his house, barn.
stock and the greater part of his
farm land, by the disastrous June
food, alleged that the damming Of
the water by the company's bridge
near his property was the direct
cause Of his loss. 1t was held by
the court that the flood was can
act of God" and that therefore the
railroad company could not be held
responsible. -Er.

The March .Hagdsinc Of american
history is sparkling number. 1t
touches a broad field of information.
and its budget of varied and delight
fnl reading is particularly valuable
addition to both current and histor-
ic literature. We have scholarly
account by W. II. Garrett, A. NJ,
Of the extraordinary controversy
concerning "The Northern Bound
AIRY Of Tennessee" which stretched
over sixty eight years, and it is in
tensly interesting just now in view
of the boundary suit recently insti-
tuted by Virginia against Tennessee
in the Supreme Court of the United
States. The leading illustrated
paper Of thenumber is a wonderfully
vivid picture Of Life in New York
Fifty Years Ago" by the editor,
whose genius in word painting com
bned with exact knowledge of the
theme produces brilliant results.
The period reproduced opens with
the completion of the Eric Canal,
and glimpscs are given, through the
diary of an old New Yorker for
twenty-five years, Of character and
affairs, Of inventions politics and
panics, Of clubs, dinners, fancy
balls, and foreign visitors. Dick
ems was here, and being then regard
ed as the greatest living novelist,
was feted and complimcnted beyond
any other writer Of his generation.

unusually full and valuable. The

ises to eclipse in practical interest

a freak of Plant Life.

A story Of one Of the most interest

Ellwood Cooper, Of Santa Barbara
As coming from him the story cannot
be anything but strictly IN accordance
with the facts. Through Mr.. Cooper's
garden there ran ON years ago a
sewer made Of red wood timber. This
sewer was again incased 10y nm outside
sewer. Across the there was
built a brick wall many feet high, and
in such II way that it was pierced by
the inner sewer. which il inclosed tight
ly. while the outside sewer ended alb
ruptly against the wall.
The outside sewer easing had in
curse of time decayed, and n euca.
lyptus tree standing soIne sixty feet
away had taken advantage Of this and
sent one OF It's roots 10 the coveted
spot in ms direct n line as possible.
Here the root entered theoutside sewer
and followed it, course rs far rs il
could. At last II came To- the wall
which shut of Its course. and il could
60 no further, the inside sewer being
perfectly tight.
But on the other side of the wall the
sewer and its double cnsing continued,
and this eucalyptus tree evidently
knew how to get there. Some three
feet high in the brick wall there was n
little hole an inch or two In diameter,
and this the eucalyptus tree was aware
of, as Its big root began to climb the
dry wall and face the sun and wind
until 1t found the hole, through which
1t descended on the other side and en-
tered the sewer again and followed It
along ~ formerly.

How Germans smoke.

Smoking in Germany is not a pas

grouped about it a respectable number
of industries. Every smoker carries a
cigar ease, "A cigar clipper, a match safe
and usually a little leather box for the
cigar tips. The tips are collected by a
society, organized for the purpose in
each province, and are sold back to the
manufacturers for the benefit Of chart

worth of such tips were collected in the
small duchy of Brunswick. The cigar
