A CHASTITY RELIC.
The John Brown Sonffold Now on It's Way
to the Worlds Fair.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-The scaffold
upon which John Brown was executed at
Harper's Ferry, w. Va, has arrived here
for shipment to the Worlds Fair Exposi-
tion. The timbers are in a good state
of preservation though they have served
the purposes of porch to the resi-.
dence of a son Of the man who built the
scaifold.
The gallows itself is a plain, substan-
tial affair, which would attract little at
tion apart from it's historical interest
The timbers are evidently pine, although
they have been painted over at some later
period TO preserve them. The two up
rights are beams six inches square and
the crosses Of the bar 10 in proportion.
Even the screws with which it was put
together have been preserved ard in a
remarkable manner.
John Brown was executed Dec. 3,
1859.

The waaging of the Dogs Tail.

Professor 'Elmer, in his work on
Organic EvolS Stion, is not able to ex-
plain why the dogs of Constantinople
erect the tail and carry it upright,
while the ancestral wolf and the
jackal carry it hanging down. DR.,
Joseph L. Hancock, suggests that the
reason may be fountl in the fact that
as the dog becomes'domesticated it
is prone to use the tail as AN organ
for expressing mentaA states-wag
ging it when pleased, dNopping it be-
tween the legs when disappointed or
frightened. The ancestral wolf car
ries it hanging down, becatlse in that
position it is less conspicuous and
better eludes detection. A family of
wolves playing together undisturbed
occasionally carry their tails curled
upward.
By degrees the tail acquires natu-
rally the upright position as result
of coincident evolution of the mind
of the wolf by domestication and of
the slow adaptation of the appendage
as an organ of expression. The css-
sation Of natural selection in the do
mestic dog would give the tail great
er freedom Of motion without detri-
ment to life, and artificial selection
modifies it into various shapes -

A smnrt ONCE BOYS WORK.

A clever and well known woman
writer recently paid visit to an edi-
tor to confer with him over a manu-
script he had asked of her. AS she
opened her card case she noticed only
one left. which she regretted, having
a second visit to make that morning.
She sent it in, however, and shortly
followed it. The editor was alone,
except for young clerk at table
near the door, and they were soon
discussing the article she had writ
ten. 1t did not please him, and after
considerable talk, rather decided on
each side, she arose to withdraw.
The young clerk had left the room
moment before, and as Miss Blank
passed out it occurred to her quickly
that she could secure her card, which
lay on the table near by. With a
slight movement she did so, con-
graduating herself on the happy
thought. But she did not send the
card in at her next stop. Slipping it
in her case when she was again in
the street, she saw on the reverse
side that the wicked young man had
used his employers time and his own
considerable talent in sketching an
absprdly exaggerated picture of her.

A fowl seems such a little, alto
gether insignificant thing, that it is
difficult to realize the possibility of a
great industry taken up solely with
it; and most people are greatly sur
prised, when they hear the extent of
the traffic in Sussex. Some idea of
its magnitude may be obtaided from
the following figures During 1890
about 600 tons Of chickens left this
neighborhood for London alone. A
thousand tons is d figure that con-
veys but little impression to our
mini But let us remember that
each fowl only weighs about four
pounds, and then we win see that to
make up the thousand tons there
must have been considerably over
half million of chickens, the exact

The mending of lace is an art of
itself, and many professional mend
ers, who are usually French or Ger

at this dainty task. A knowledge of

piece tears, mend it with lace thread,
which comes in small, soft balls at
five to ten cents, initiating the

The young man made up his mind

he said he wouldn't.
"Then l will leave you" she re-

Our National Statue of Liberty.

The bronze statue of Liberty which
has crowned the dome of the Capitol
building at Washington for the past
twenty-nine years is 10 feet inches
high and weighs IA, 985 pounds. The
figure was cast in five sections, the
heaviest being of A, 740 pounds weight.
The statue was all completed, except
the headpiece, prior to Dec. 2, 1868,
the finishing being reserved for that
day. Crawford, who designed the
figure, submitted his model adorned
with liberty cap" but Jefferson
Davis, then secretary of war, object
ed to such a head covering, saying
that the old Phrygian emblem was a
relic of a degraded people. The sec
retary's objections were sustained
and the well known Indian head
dress was substituted for the cap.
Crawford got 5000 for the plaster
model of Liberty; Clark Mills got
$1,000 for casting her in bronze;
money expended for labor and metal
ran the total cost up to $23, 796.S2

New YORK, Feb. 25.-lt is doubtful
if there was ever time when there was
such great variety of silks on the mar
ket, but | think the palm for beauty
must be awarded to the superb peau de
sole, which is the richest plain silk made.
Next to that come the failles and after
them the grosgrain and bengaline,
though bengaline has never been very
popular as a dress silk that was intended
for long wear, as it was confounded
with sort of French poplin which soon
cracked and pulled and grew shiny.
But real bengaline silk is good value for
wear and for appearance, being specially
valuable for mourning, as it is not lus-
trous like the other silks.
Among the new weaves in domestic
silks which are now, and justly, consid-
cred better for wear than any foreign
silk, see the tricotine, which has sur
face which looks like the inside Of knit
ted goods, and it is very handsome and
flexible, and will retail at about $1.25
