GruR Ben Butler.

Butler has great law practice, and
many irons in the fire besides-his bunt-
ing factory, his granite quarries, and SO
on and so forth. But much of his law
practice is made up of desperate cases,
such as those claims before the court of
claims which no one else will undertake,
and in which the compensation is all con-
tingent upon success. Besides, like other
men with many irons in heating, he can
not keep them all white hot, and loses
every now and then on one of them.
Then, too, he is one of the most generous
and charitable of men. He lives on a
scale which seems extravagant to most
men, keeping up three or four establish
ments-one here, one in Lowell. one in
Boston, and so on-and treating all his
relatives and friends most generously in
all his dealings with them.
Rough and gruff as he sometimes seems,
his heart is tenderness itself, and his COM
passionate ear and hand are always open.
He gives away small fortune every year,
to say nothing of his ''thank you'' practice,
which exceeds that of any other lawyer in
the United States, and probably in the
world. Naturally, with all his shrewd-
ness, he is deceived by the designing, and
loses more money in this way than most
people give away. Unless his Forthcoming
"Reminiscences" yield large sum, Butler
will not leave large fortune behind him

J.rry RuIlt Forrr,s.es In Ru,.i..

Some extraordinary revelations have Just
been made az st. Petersburg as 70 the man
ner in which certain frontier fortresses re-
Gently constructed, and, as It was sup
posed, strengthened, have actually been
built. It appears that even in this perilous
field Of enterprise the jerry builder has
been reaping rich harvest At two sep
arate fortresses his frauds have been de
tected. A commission of revision on in
specting the walls Of the celebrated strong
hold Novo Georgievsh, formerly known as
Modlin, and situated between Warsaw and
the German frontier, found that the newly
constructed outer walls were not more
substantial than those of piece Of theat-
rical scenery.
A thin outer layer Of half bricks con-
cealed hopelessly rotten fabric composed
of the veriest rubbish-grayel, brick dust,
sand and chalk-the whole being utterly
incapable of withstanding a cannonade by
guns of the smallest caliber. These facts
having been reported to the minister of
war, the chief constructor Of the fortress
was arrested and tried by court martial,
but he escaped with so light a penalty as
dismissal from the service, it having been
proved that he suffered from a painful af-
fection of the eyes. The chief constructor
of the fortress of Doubno, the other strong
| hold concerned, was not so fortunate. The
fortress was inspected by the Grand Duke
Nicholas shortly before his illness, and he
found the walls built so contrary to the
rules of military engineering that they
were incapable Of affording any real de-
tense against modern engines of war.
In accordance with the report which he
made to the emperor on the subject, an
order was issued that the whole of the
walls in question should be razed to their
foundations and rebuilt. The chief con-
structor solved the problem of his own
punishment by blowing out his brains,
and all his subordinates who were in any
degree responsible were sent to Siberia
Every endeavor has, of course, been made
to keep these occurrences from the knowl-
edge of the public, but the facts of the case
have come to hand through thoroughly
trustworthy channel.-Leeds Mercury.

Sun Spots.

For several years the sun has been in q
quiescent condition, his surface being COM
paratively free from spots, and his promin-
ences of comparatively infrequent occur
renee and insignificant proportions. The
great luminary has been passing through
his minimum sun spot period; for the spot
producing activity of the sun is governed
by laws that the close observation of the
last two centuries has interpreted, while
observers are still cropping after the cause
Of the spots themselves.
1t takes about eleven years to complete
q sun spot cycle. though the intervals are
irregular. Each cycle includes a maxi
mum and minimum period, which are
also irregular. The spots vary greatly in
number. During some cycles the suns
face is never free from them; during others
it is unmarried for days, and even for
months. As the last maximum period oc-
Cured about 1882, it is time to antici-
pate recurrence of solar activity, and re-
cent observations show that the activity
has already begun.
Enormous fluctuations are taking place
on the surface of the sun, and will be fol-
lowed for the two or three coming years by
spots of every variety. There will be normal
spots, consisting of an umbra and penum-
bra, and spots irregular in form or gather
ed in groups. The sizes of the spots vary
from 500 miles to sc, 900 miles or more, and
they are often large enough to be visible
to the naked eye. They may last for few
days, or for weeks or months. Their dis
tribution is mostly confined to two zones
on the suns surface, between S degs. and
40 degs of latitude north and south.
Other signs of solar agitation follow in
the wake Of the sun spots. Gigantic solar
eruptions, known as rosy protuberances,
rise from the suns border, like tongues of
fame, sometimes to the height of hundreds
of thousands of miles. The earth bears
witness to the disturbed state of the sun,
for auroras flash in the heavens, magnet
ism reaches its greatest point of oscilla-
tion and electricity takes on its most brill
liant nifestations.-Youth's Companion.

A WOmanly Protest.

Miss Clara Barton writes this pertinent
criticism: "It is a good idea to give women
chance to be heard on topics outside Of
dress and fashion. It is humiliating to q
woman Of brains and opinions to arrive in
strange city, and, after being interview
ed, find her dress and manners described
at length, while her brain is not even men
toned. How do you suppose Chauncey
M. Depew or man of his caliber would
feel to go into town and find the cut Of
his trousers, the shade and pattern or de-
sign minutely described, with the style of
vest, coat and necktie, and the hair on the
head detailed at length, while not word
was said of his reputation as an orator or
railroad mans 1t is just the same with
women. 1t is belittling for women of wide
experience to find their garb Of more ac-
count than their opinions"

Love,s Fond Hope Blasted,

The tender, budlike hopes of Lewiston
youth who has been dreaming the first few
winks of loves young dream are crushed,
and he sometimes thinks that he neverwill
recover, but we think he will
He has been keeping young lady in
Raymond up nights good deal lately, and
she has been reciprocating the attachment.
The only party to the affair who was not
warmly and deeply in earnest was the
young lady's father, and for some reason
or other he didn't seem to warm up bit
and didn't seem to pay much attention to
it one way or the other. The Lewiston
young man has been over there good
deal, his disease of the heart keeping him
restless at home. Now and then he has
hitched up the horse of his father-in-law-
never-to-be and has taken his girl out to
drive in the sober moonlight, and by a ju-
dicious care in getting the sleigh out noise
lessly he has finally learned how to evade
suspicion and drive with one hand at the
same time.
A large, mellow night came along and
stopped at that town very recently, and
| the young man was caracoling the old
mans horse over the hills gayly. Coming
| back he committed great error. He tied
| the horse with slip moose. The horse did
not die. He was discovered before death
had claimed him for his own, but he was
almost moribund and the flash that had
erstwhile been in his eye had flashed out.

the extra kerosene, coal and wood that had
been consumed in the front parlor, but he

Ice and Flowers Near Mount St. Elias.


The fields of flowers skirting the forests
surpass in rank luxuriance and in brillian-
cy of color anything of the kind it has
been my fortune to see elsewhere. On the
terraces and slopes of the mountains pro-
jecting into the Malaspina glacier one may
walk for miles through fiowery meadows,
shoulder deep in sea of bloom. No daisy
meadow in New England is more thickly
carpeted with blossoms than these remote,
unexplored gardens of southern Alaska.
Winter and summer lovely verdure and
icy desolation are here side by side. Ono
may stand on the border of an ice field
miles in breadth and pluck as beautiful a
garden of flowers and ferns as ever graced
May festival.
A few hundred feet above the timber
line it is always winter. Near the lower
limit of the summers snow there are occa-
sional summer slopes so situated as not to
be swept by avalanches, which are covered
with dense plush of brilliant Alpine bios
SONS, and form a most pleasing contrast
to the sparkling cliffs of snow and ice sur
rounding them. In the higher mountains
there is absolutely no vegetation. Even
the tints of lichens and MOSES are absent
from the precipices, and all the less rugged
slopes are buried beneath snow and ice.

Forgery Made Easy.

Forgeries are encouraged by the bad
practices that have grown up in the COM
mercial houses-the use Of stylographic
pens and aniline inks. Many large houses,
recognizing the lack of character in sig
nature written with a stylographic pen,
have discarded them altogether in signing
checks and papers of similar Importance,
and other firms require documents to be
signed with steel or quill pen. A stlyo-
graphic signature is easily initiated, and
when it comes to identifying the genuine
signature difficulty is met, arising from
the effect of the movement on the essential
characteristic features. Aniline inks are
still more dangerous, because they can be
copied exactly by the use Of copying pads.

What a Small Boy Can Do.

Prince Morgan is the name of little
thirteen-ye darky boy living at Shedd,
Linn county, whose career promises to be
somewhat checkered if he lives long
enough, as it is already decidedly spotted.
He is the lad who few months ago pur-
chased gun on forged order, shot off
two fingers and then before his fingers
were well ran away from home with prop
erty belonging to others. He was captured,
but the grand jury refused to indict him
owing to his extreme youth. Not having
gun of his own any longer, he concluded
to make one himself. Securing gaspipe,
he made hole in it at the right place and
plugged the end with wood. Loading it,
he touched it off with match The plug
flew in splinters, one piercing an ear, and
the powder scattered over his face, burning
it some, yet not injuring him seriously.
He rushed into the house and told his
mother a big man in rubber suit had shot
him through crack in the barn.-Port-

Apdalusian Enthusiasm.

If African women are to be transported
to Granada to fitly adorn these ancient
ruins, the native Andalusian damsel would
vie with them for the right, for the Anda-
lusian is far more beautiful gem, and
worthy of being born in the shadow of the
Alhambra or the Alcazar.
Her form is soft and flexible, the quint-
essence of the word "pliant" applied to
her. She crouches in the smallest corner;
she robs the sharpest angle of its sharp
ness by sliding stealthily around it; she
winds her supple body through the narrow
est crevice. Her senses partake daintily of
what may be offered to them. Her nose
fingers but moment above the fragrant
chalice Of the rose; her lips sip but single
drop from the fiery malaga and reject the
rest.
Her most powerful sense Unsuitable, yet
held in check by her, and holding Others
within it's wondrous ban, is her large,
beautiful eye. In the midst of the snowy
splendor of her face this strange, black
flame is the confession of the extremes
which unite in her breast-Chicago Globe.

Sisters EIEhty-seven Years Old Who Can
Scarcely BE Told Apart.
st. Cloud, MINI. boasts the oldest living
pair Of twins in the country. Rosina and
Crescentia Sutterlee were born in Zell
Baden, Germany, Feb. Q, 1904 Crescentia
was married in 1885 to John Fritz, at their
home, and in the year 1S4s, together with
her husband and only son, Andrew Fritz,
now a prosperous and highly respected
citizen of st. Cloud, immigrated to Amer
lea and removed to Sandusky, o., where
they resided until 1857.
From there they went to Minnesota, To-
eating at st. Paul, and In 1861 removed to
their present home, which is still her
home. Rosina, the other twin sister, was
married to Edward Sweth. in 1881. Five
children were born to this couple, all of
whom have since died-three in Germany,
the other two in this country. Her hus-
band died in Germany, and as a widow she
came to this country in 1868, residing with
her son-in-law, Henry Koester, ever since.
The parents of the two women both
reached the age of nearly ninety years, and
present indications would predict longer
lifetime for the twins than that of their
parents.
The resemblance in appearance of the
pair is so great that many times intimate
friends, who have known them since their
residence here, have been deceived in their
identity. Rosina has often been mis-
taken for her sister At a time the latter
needed medical treatment and called in the
doctor, who was a friend Of her sister,
and when she became convalescent she
asked the doctor for her bill. He answered
that on account of the many favcts shown
in business relations he wouldn't charge a
cent, not knowing that she was not the
sister he referred to.
Upon one occasion John Fritz, grand
son of Crescentia, who operates a photo

to make a sitting for their photographs.
