THE City of Washington is an object of

throbbing heart of the mightiest and

known, but also on account Of its mat

pride in it's beautiful avenues, majestic
architecture, stately homes, and well
stored galleries and museums as things
ofgrandeHr and beauty iii themselves,
apart from the historic interest with
which they are invested. 1t is hope

His First Letter.

A writer in The Christian Union gives
an amusing account of the first letter
ever written to his wife by certain old
gentleman. The couple had never beer
separated in all the years of their life
until "Pa," at the age of 70, concluded
to visit some relatives in Boston.
When he was preparing to start on his
memorable trip his wife, who was to re-
main at home, said:
"Pa, you never writ me letter in
your life, an do hope when you git
safely there you'll write me a line and
let me know how you bore the journey.
I'll buy a sheet of paper and put in a
wafer, SO you won't have no tfonble
about that"
Pa was absent a week, and, faithful to
his promise, he sent a letter. 1t read
thus:
RESPECTED LADY: I got here safe,
and am very well, and hope you are
the same. l shall be glad to git home,
for the pride of the airth that see here
is enough to ruin the nation. Cad! the
women folks are too lazy to set up in
their carriages. They loll back and look

Delights Of Tob0gSaning.

You sit astride your toboggan, and
when it begins to rush down the descent
along a road as hard as iron, with the
speed of light, your first feeling is that
you would give everything you have in
the world to be anywhere but where you
are. There is, however, a wonderful
fascination about rushing through the
crisp, sharp air, taking corners cleverly
by means of guiding pegs, and sailing
down triumphantly on to the broad
bosom of the lake. So many accidents
had, however, taken place upon the lake
run that we of the awkward squad were
disposed to give it wide berth. A snow
storm altered, however, the complexion
of affairs.
Two or three inches of snow on the
hard, slippery track made the pace less
rapid; and if, blinded by the snow and
the monotonous whiteness above, below
and around, you ran off the course,
as l did, you and your sledge simply
rolled over half a dozen times in the soft
snow without the inconvenience Of
broken bones, much less of broken
neck. cannot close this letter without
abiding to the effect Of this glorious
out-of-doors life upon the nerves. am
fully persuaded that all the bromides in
the world are incomparably inferior to

A Celebrated Physician.

John Arbuthnot, the son of a Scotch
clergyman, was barn near Montrose In
1867. He was educated at Aberdeen,
where he took his doctors degree. Going
to London to push his fortune, he soon
established a reputation as q man Of
science, and before he was 80 happy &C.
cident led to his fortune. Prince George
of Denmark, the consort of Queen Anne,
was taken suddenly ill at EPSON, and
Arbuthnot. who Glanced to be there, was
summoned to attend him. The prince
was cured, and the doctor was appointed
one of the court physicians. Swift says
that he was the queens favorite ply
sician, and apartments were given him
in st. James palace. Thus distinguished
by the marks of royal favor, Arhuthnot
acquired the friendship, not only of the
leading men of his party, as Harley and
Bolingbfoke, but that of all the wits and
scholars of the time. He was their
trusted friend and adviser. He attended
Queen Anne in her last illness, and al
though he did not continue to hold his
official position in the court Of George !
he and his friend were Tories-ha
maintained great practice among the
nobility. He attended Gay and Con.
greve and Pope and Swift, and In the
verses addressed by Gay to Pope Arbuth-
not's company is said to drive sorrow
from the heart, Gas all disease his medi-
cines dissipate." Pope constantly ex-
pressed his gratitude to him, and paid
him some of his finest poetical compli-
ments. The prologue to THE Satires,
Pope's most perfect piece, is addressed
to ArbuthnOt.- Chicago Herald.

A Small Boys Reasoning.

In small city in western Wisconsin
there is a small boy who lives with his
parents. One day not long ago he and
his mother were walking quietly down
street when the little fellow noticed a
number of young cattle grazing along
the edge of the sidewalk. Said he:
Mamma, wish Mr.. So-and-So would
keep his 'halfers' off the street." His
mother, thinking to correct his pronun-
citation, said: "Heifers, Paul, not
'halfers.' The boy looked at her mo-
ment and replied: "No, mamma; think
I'm right in this matter. Amt they half
a cow and half calf: l guess they are.
and according to that they are 'halfers,' >"
said the boy, triumphantly.-Chicago

known reckless nurses to give the little
ones a dose of paregoric or soothing

AN OLD FASHIONED LAWYERS FIGHT

Con. Reuben Davis Encounter with q

In his racy book, "Recollections of
Mississippi" Gen. Reuben Davis gives
the following account of a personal en-
counter he once had with judge who
had fined him for contempt:
Ny patience gave way, and / felt my
self in a perfect blaze of sudden fury. I
had in my pocket very fine knife with
q long, thin blade. AS 1 sprang to my

threw it point foremost into the bar,
looking steadily at the judge all the
while. My object was to induce the
judge to order me to Jail and then to at.
tack him on the bench. The knife VI
brated, and the weight of the handle
broke the blade near the handle. Gen.

upon the bench beside the judge, ordered

The Literary Standard I'm America.


We say in all seriousness, that in this
new country, drunk with prosperity and
besotted as it is with material ideals, the
literary standard is as high as ever it was
in the world; and that the literary per-
Torrance is of an excellence which is
only not conspicuous because it is so
general. If any one doubts it, let him
compare an average piece of fiction in
The Atlantic Monthly, or The Century,
or Scribner's. or Harper's with an aver
age piece of fiction in Blackwood's or
Frazer's, or Tinsely's of fifty years ago;
or an average essay in one of our period
icals with an average essay of the best
English time; or an average poem of our
day with an average poem Of the
"splendid and unsurpassed literature Of
the past" or an average review in the
Sunday papers with the "really capable
criticism" of the heyday of English re.

Knights of Pythias Biennial Conclave, at
Milwaukee, Wis, July, 1890,

For this great occasion excursion tick
cts will be sold from, all principal points
n the United States and Canada to Mil
waukee and return via the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St.. Paul Railway at half rates.
As its name indicates the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul Railway is the direct
route to Milwaukee, and as the camp
ground for the Uniformed Knights Ito
which point cars and trains will be run
through without transfer) is located d.
rectly on this line, it will be seen that the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Railway
has great advantage over other routes
which are unable to furnish such facilities,

chasing excursion tickets.
