would use are the exact antonyms OF
the words and expression used by

A Bit of Bangor Property.

There is one piece of real estate in
Maine which is entailed so far as such
property can be in this country. 1t is
known as Dundee, and is situated in
the town of Limington. In 1868 Francis
Small bought it with other lands from
the Indians, the original deed being yet
preserved in the family. Having de-
scended from father to son for several
generations, Humphrey Small purchased
a small section of his fathers land,
which he named Dundee, and he stout
ly affirmed that Dundee should remain
in the ownership of the Smalls forever,
and that it should be allowed to become
a forest again. Twice he was offered
more than double its value, but although
hard pressed for money be remained true
to his declaration.
On the 2Sth of November this proper
ty will have been in possession of the
family 224 years, and to commemorate
this and also to celebrate the centennial
of Limington, which vas organized in
1892, the family had a reunion and pic.
mic recently. Next year they propose
to celebrate their 225th anniversary with
a larger gathering, to include all of the
Small family that can be gathered to,

Architecture at the Fair.

The architectural standards of the
average man are the best buildings he
has seen. To show him the possibilities
of beautiful construction is to enlarge
his aspirations and make him dissatis-
fled with inferior jobs. He might cross
the seas and travel thousands of miles
without getting so effective an archi-
tectural lesson as he will get at Chicago.
He will not only see admirable buildings
there, but he will also see some pretty
bad ones, and having the good and the
bad side by side he will have so much
the better chance of Learning which is
which, and wherein consists the excel
lence or inferiority of either.
The fair buildings have cost a great
sum of money, and most of them are
only for temporary use, but we miss our
guess and our hope if they do not prove
in the end one of the most beneficent
educational investments that have been
made in this country, and as lasting in
their ultimate results as stone and iron
could have made them. Harper's
Weekly,

The Nearest Star,

One of the most clearly defined figures
in the sky is the Northern Cross, which
you will find at about 8 o'clock now
directly overhead. 1t would be hard
for you not to identify it. The head of
the cross, the bright star Deneb, is
toward the northeast, and the foot, AL
bireo, is toward the southwest. Thus the
whole figure lies along the milky way.
The has no special NEUROLOGICAL
history, nor inueed has the constellation
Cygnus the SWAMI of which it is a part.
But Cygnus is famous for containing
the star that is nearest to us of all the
stars seen from this hemisphere, sixty
one Cygni, as it is called. 1t is a faint
star Immediately under Deneb and in

The astronomers have obtained the
parallax of this star with something
like accuracy, and they find that it is

patching Up the San Marco Lion.

One of the most wonderful pieces of
mechanical work ever undertaken by
human hands has just been completed
abroad. The celebrated landmark of
Venice, the lion of San Marco, has
during the past three months been great
ly missed from the top of the mighty
column of the Marcus pla .e by strangers
visiting the City of Lagotn MS. Last year
when an examination of it was made,
it was found that the statue had fallen
into more than fifty pieces, which were
liable to come down at any moment.
This discovery gave rise to a desire on
the part of soae of the city fathers to
transfer the original lion to the Civil
museum and to make for the column an
exact copy of the historical monument.
But the Venetians were strongly OPP
posed to this, and argued that the orig
inal lion should remain in its place.
Thereupon Signor Luigi Vendrasco de-
vised a plan to repair the damaged mon
ster. With infinite labor and care the
decayed statue was lowered to the
ground and its fragments carried to the
arsenal. The experiment by which it
was thought the loose pieces could be
reunited by a smelling process proved a
failure. Giovanni Bontempi, n of the
finest mechanics of Venice, was called
in, and resolved to repair the fallen hero
by welding the pieces together in the
presence of several of the municipal of,
ficers.
More than $50 screws were used to re-
unite the separated pieces of metal, and
the cracks and interstices were filled
out with an inside lining of bronze.
This difficult piece of work was brought
to a happy close with marvellous skill.
Nothing can be seen of the repairs ex-
ternally, and as of old the lion of San
Marco bids the stranger welcome as he
enters the beautiful City of the Doges.
