Received the Pastor.

The following regarding Rev. X. E.
Smith. who moved from this city two weeks
ago to take charge of the Methodist church
at Livingston, is taken from the Livingston
Herald: The family of the Rev. r. Il.
Smith, pastor of the Methodist church,
having arrived in Livingston. a surprise re-
ception was given them on Wednesday eve
ming. The surprise feature was quite n
success as not a whisper of the proposed
event reached the pastor, or any member
of his family, until a committee called at
the parsonage to request their presence in
church. Upon arrival they found the house
we'll filled with members Of the church and
congregation, with a goodly number from
other churches, among whom were espec-
tally noticeable Rev. Fowler and wife, Of
the Congregational church, and Rev.
Coombe and wife, of Great Falls. Both
host and guests having been called to seats.
Major Camp stepped to the front and de-
livered an address of welcome. under the
influence Of which all were made to feel at
home and in a sociable mood Ice cream,
cake and lemonade were then dispensed,
while the choir rendered some choice mu-
steal selections.

What Young Women Read.

From the New York World
The young woman of today does not read
books. She skins paper-backed novels of the
fourth rate instead.
IL you doubt, look over any news stand from
New York to San Francisco and see what ltera-
ture you find there. The newsman knows
what his customers want and supplies it. And
his customers are mainly young women
Every book publisher has felt the effect Of
this tendency. 1t is no longer possible to count
confidently upon a good sale for maste-lv
book Of essays or other book belonging to the
higher forms Of light literature. Even novels
Of the better class-those that are worthy of
cloth binding-are no longer in much demand.
The reading public of our time wants trash.
and il gets ii in lavish abundance.
Tho effect upon the book trade concerns the
publishers and dealers mainly. There are other
effects OF greater consequence. Our young
women are growing up ignorant of literature
and with perverted tastes which will prevent
them from repairing the fault in later life.
They do not read books that make them think.
and for the most part they do not want to think.
They want to kill time with the least possible
intellectual exertion.
To this there are exceptions, but this is the
rule. 1t is an age of trash.

No "Old Man of the Mountain. /"

". c. Prime in the n. Y. Journal OF Commerce
That far-famed profile in Franconia Notch,
which hundreds Of thousands have come to see
and think they have seen, which has been the
burden of innumersble publications. the sub
ject of thousand works of artists, that mighty
head of granite which seems to be the very noun
tain top itself, majestic and awful among the
clouds when the east winds sweep then across the
| forehead, that wonder OF the northern world.
does not exist! There is no Old Man. There Ia
no profile. 1t is a pure fiction OF the eyes that
look at it, and has no being in stone.
Such statement seems very wild and reck-
less to many who have looked on the great stone
face. believing that they saw a reality. But the
statement is literally true. The western side
Of Franconia Notch is bounded BY q mountain
ridge, the upper part of which for nearly two
miles rises IN blre granite clid above the
forests which cover its lower slope. This
granite wall, over mile long, ends abruptly at
point where the Notch ravine turns from q
course nearly north to northwesterly direc-
ticn. The mountain ridge bends at the same
angle, and continues northwesterly up the
wooded slopes of Cannon mountain. At the
very angle the bare and almost perpendicular
cliffs end. They end in a very shattered condi-
ton, as If some terrible powder had burst off
the sIoping ridge of Cannon mountain and
gone down the valley, tearing Of the forests
rock for two miles. When you stand
where you look at the shattered angle
Of the cliff you seem to see high
up against the sky that well-known profile.
You seem to sec it. But there is no rock hewn
face there. The illusion is produced by the
accidental position Of various surfaces and
points of rock which project from the cliff at
different places. not under each other. That
which you think is the outlined nose is long
sloping ledge. and the outermost point which
seems to be the tip of the nose is fifty or sixty
feet out of the perpendicular line from the
forehead. In short, the front view shows q
mere rough, ragged cliff, and the various pro-
jections which form the outline Of the profile
when seen from a certain angle ere scattered
here and there within a distance Of fifty or q
hundred feet north and south Of perpendicu-
lar line drawn down from the forehead, or
another such line drawn upward from the
point of the chin. The profile therefore exists
only in the eyes that see it and not in the rock
which il seems to be.

Philadelphia's New Clock Tower.


From the Jewellers Circular.
The clock tower to surmount the new city
building In Philadelphia is now ready to be
put in place. 1t is entirely Of metal, and is
intended to rest on the marble work Of the
tower, which rises TO height of 1877 feet ~
inches from the ground. Set in the stone base
are eight composite columns rising vertically
to height of sixty-seven feet eight. inches
above the marble work, and above that con-
verging toward the center to receive and SUD-
port the cast-iron base-plate of the figure of
William Penn, at height Of 173 feet s inches
above the marble work base.
The whole Of the outside shell to o height of
sixty-seven feet eight inches above the marble
work 10 of castiron sectional plates of an
average Of one inch in thickness. Not to be in
cluded in this are the four figures, the four
eagles and the clock face. These together
with the whole Of the external covering Of the
dome from the level Of sixty -seven feet eight
inches above the marble work, upward and in
GLIDING the central figure of William Penn on
the apex. which rises to the additional height
Of thirty-six feet eight inches, are to DO made
Of aluminium bronze. All portions with large
plain surfaces are made Of sheet metal not less
than one-eighth of an inch in thickness.
The face of the clock ID to DO twenty three
feet in diameter and ftg altitude from the
ground $50 feet. The clock will be wound by a
steam engine. The bell is to weigh between
20, 900 and 25, 600 pounds, and will be second in
weight to the great Montreal Cathedral boil.
which weighs q, 900 pounds, and it is expected
that its peal will be heard even in the most dis
tant part Of the city. Chimes similar to those
Of tho Westminster clock will be used, ringing
ut tho quarter. halt, three-Quartsrs and hour.
