rbsen,s Curious Fipur..

l cannot recollect having ever met a
man of more peculiarly striking appear
ance than Mr.. fbsen. He reminded me
to certain extent of those fabulous
creatures the gnomes, who play such an
important part in Scandinavian myth
ology, and are vividly described in the
old songs of the Edda. He is a man of
less than medium size, but very heavily
set. The upper part of his body is very
large in proportion to his lower limbs,
but still small in comparison with that
immense head, which, with its bushy
hair. white as snow. overtowers the
compact bodily frame.
A heavy beard of the same color would
encircle the face if it was not for the fact
that Ibsen keeps his chin shaven, dis
tinction also enjoyed by the upper lip.
l wonder if Mr.. Ibsen knows that by
wearing his beard in the manner de-
scribed he shows a very strong chin and
mouth of classic delineation. Irresist-
ible is the charm of his eyes, which are
of deep blue. like the color of the sea
on the shores of his beautiful native
north land.-Louisville Courier-J ournal

A Glance at London Society.

Take the vast London society. It is a
stiffnecked dress parade in which one
meets ones best friend once fortnight
and strangers in proportion. People
never know each other well and are al
most suspicious of those they do know.
Invitations are sent out from one to two
months ahead and people come and go
without making visib BILE impression, and
there is none of that merry familiarity
which makes American life so enjoy
able
A dinner is set affair, with no gem
eral conversation and total absence of
what the French call esprit; in fact,
most of the Englishman's pleasures are
of the macintosh and umbrella kind
The Londoner is always guarded and
suspicious of the stranger, and 1 don't
wonder, considering some of the Ameri-
cans he has had showed upon him. But,
after all, there are too many people in
London; it is impossible to expect free
dom. familiarity and hospitality among
such multitude.-Cor. Chicago News.

Where Gold Goes To.

A considerable part of all the gold

ing been obtained in the west by the sale
of exported productions. it is retained in
the east as realized profits, wealth stored
up, and to a moderate extent for use in
the arts. for the rest as representative
of value on the credit of which traders
buy and sell with the bills of exchange
they issue and the book credits they
open, and settle up the differences with
the silver money of the country.

The Labor.r should Be Hopored.

The real dignity of labor is well sym
bolized and set forth in those single acts
at the beginning or end of great work
which represent to the imagination the
whole enterprise.
The corner stone of great building is
generally laid by some official digni-
tary who, in an unaccustome6 apron
and with trowel which he uses clum-
silly. makes a pretense of doing the actual
work of putting the stone in place
Crowds stand about to witness the work
and orations are made and hymns sung
The knocking away of the prop which
sends vessel off the ways and into the
water Is an event of equal consequence
and interest, because it represents the
noble task of constructing great ship,
When one of the greatest engineering
works of all time was completed-the
construction of the Pacific railroad-it
was regarded as great honor to drive
the last spike that bound the last rail to
the earth; and the spike which served at
least temporarily for the work was
made of silver
Emperors, kings and presidents start
with their own hands the machinery of
great industrial exhibitions, themselves
typical in a high degree of the import
ance of manual labor
In a certain sense it would be more
fitting that these ceremonies, which con-
centrate into single instant's act long
periods of hard labor, should be per-
formed by one of the real workingmen
who are engaged upon the enterprise. 1t
is they who do the work. and they might
well claim that the honor of the key
ceremony belongs to them.

over $1,000, 900 which called for blankets,
clothing, woolen and worsted manufac-

up the result: ''For all manufactured

other agricultural products the prices
were somewhat higher"

A Fish Hatchery Site.

The Washington fish commission,
comprising Governor Perry, State Treas
urer Lindsey and James Crawford, a
short time ago held conference with
F. G. Reed, chairman of the Oregon state
fish commission, shortly after which
they began to look for suitable location
for the hatchery. This they have found
in the upper Okanogan county. Salmon
will be tried first, and trout afterward.
From this point they can keep the Col
umbia and all tributary rivers stocked
with healthy fish. The exact location
will be kept a secret as long as 1T is on
surveyed land, but work will shortly be
commenced. 1t is thought the SIS 200
appropriated will run the hatchery until
the next legislature, when another ap-
propriaiion will be made.-,Seattle Press
