Building of the Worlds Fair, but will
exhibit in the Liberal Arts Building.
Their idea is, of course, explains the New
Tork Sun, that there is no sex in art,
and that competition in their profession
has not been with woman, but as mem

one that the women commissioners will
have some trouble to counteract in order
to preserve the women's department from
taking on the aspect of an colossal county

A Rnre Ihlinn Relic.

Jonas De Turk recently found a rare
Indian relic in the shape of "poison
pot on the Raudelbush farm, near Pop
lar Neck, in Cumru Township, Penn.
The poison pot is large fiat stone with a
circular pit in the centre an inch deep aud
two inches in diameter, bearing uumis-
taxable evidence of having been carved
out laboriously with sharp flint instru-
ment. 1t still shows plain traces OF the
poisons and acids which were mixed in
it and used in the poisoning of arrows.
The poisons extracted from the sacs of
copperheads and rattlesnakes and from
certain deadly plants were used in con-
cocting the baneful fluids, The poisoned
arrows were employed by the Indians in
killing their enemies in war and in shoot
ing dangerous wild animals.
Few poison pots of this kind arc in
existence, even in the most complete
museum collections of Indian Iehcs.-

A Ramrod Through the Brain.

An Australian journal gives the follow.
ing case, which is nearly us remarkable
as the crowbar accident to Mr.. PhineaS
Gage: "Robert Campbell, young man
connected with the Postal Department,
was admitted to the Melbourne Hospital
with pistol ramrod through his brain.
The story of the accident is that Camp
bell was out shooting with muzzle-
loading pistol. While he was ramming
home the charge the weapon exploded,
and the ramrod, which was composed of
fencing wire, with lead plug at the
end, made by the victim, was sent
through his cheek across the eye and
came ont at the top of his head.
DR.. Harris stated that when the man
was admitted to the hospital it was found
that the ramrod had passed through his
cheek, on the left side of the nose, into
the infraorbital plate of the superior
maxilla, right through the eye, going in
its course through the superior orbital
plate of the frontal bone, the brain, and
coming out at the top of the skull, about
the middle of the internal portion OF the
parietal bone. The wire portion of the
ramrod was sticking out of the skull
about six inches.
CDR. Charles Ryan, assisted by DR..
Harris, trephined the skull, having first
cut off the wire. When the bone was
removed the leadeu base came with it,
aud the eye, which had been completely
destroyed, was taken out. Antiseptio
lotion was then syringed through the ey,
socket, along the course the ramrod hac
taken, and by this means the wound was
we'll washed. Campbell is now GONZALES.

Mr.. Riis, author of GLOW the Other
Half Lives" in Scribner's Magazine as.
serts that the lack of small parks and
Fairgrounds in the tenement, house dis.
trict of New York, and the consequent
perpetual tussles between tho children,
at harmless play in the street, and the
police, are the chief forces in the devel.
opment of the "tough." The germ OF
the gangs, he says, that terrorizc whole
sections of the city at intervals, and feed
our courts and jails, may, without much
difficulty, be discovered in these early
and rather grotesque struggles of the boys
with the police.

Wonders in the Equine Foot.

The foot of horse is one of the most
ingenious and uueXampled pieces Of
mechanism in the whole range Of animal
structure. The outside hoof is made up
of a series of thin, vertical laminu of
horn, about 500 in number. Into this
are fitted about 500 more thin lamine,
which belong to the coffin bone, both
sets being elastic and adherent. The
edges of quire of paper inserted leaf
by leaf into another quire will furnish a
good idea Of the arrangement of the
lamin9 as mentioned above. Thus the
weight of the animal is supported by as
many elastic springs as there are lamiuw
in all the feet, amounting to about 1000.
These are distributed in the most secure
manner, and in a way that every spring
is acted upon IN an obligue direction.
Verify there is a display Of natures
wonder every where. st. Louis Re

LIFE AND LOVE.


Life's a fabric of fancles, whims, dreams,
silhouettes
interviewer with pleasures and pangs-
smiles and sighsl |
Lcve is simply tissue Of tears and regrets,
Lost delights bitter bliss, broken hearts,
weeping eyes!
Yet, withal, there are passions conceived
and confessed,
Come what may throughout life, whose
sweet fragrance may cling
Like the breath Of rose that is kissed and
careSsd-
Around hearts, tho Fate crude disillusions
may bring.
Nor does love dream that Destiny oft holds
in store
Certain bitterness, cleverly hidden from
view;
Even So still worship, still fondly adore
You-my life and my love-and l am
loyal to you.
e. H. Carroll, in Detroit Free Press.

What MiIIstones Are Mnde OF.

All the millstones used in the United
States formerly came from France, where
they were made of a silicious lock found
in great blocks near Paris. The stone is
mostly quartz, but has a regular cellular
structure, is extremely hard and COM
pact, aud of all shades of color, fro m 9
whitish gray to a dark blue. A number
of years ago, however, an excellent sub.
stitute was found in Anerica, in the
buhr-stone of Northwest Pennsylvania
aud Eastern Ohio. Where millstones are
employed at all this is now the favorite
rock, and it answers the purpose so well
that there is no need of any miller going
abroad for his milstones.

One of tho features of that Worlds
Fair at Chicago will be Religious Con-
gress in which not only all branches OF
the Christian Church are to come to-
gether-Catholics from everywhere,
Protestauts of all denominations, Holy
Orthodox Greeks from Constautinople
and Alexandria and Moscow, Copts and
Armenians and members of the other
Oriental churches-but also Jewish
rabbis, representatives, of Buddhism from
India and Japan, Confuciau teachers
from China, and Mohammedan doctors
from Cairo. According to the Review
of Reviews, the Congress is to seek for
the things that are common in the faith
and philosophy of all the great cults of
the civilized world, and to promote har-
mony and good understanding.

The prospects of the Chinese tea trade
continue to grow more gloomy, says
London Figaro. At a general meeting
of teamen recently held in one of the
Foochow districts, it was stated that
during the last five years, the hundred
and eighty houses engaged in the busi-
ness lost over $4,000, 900. More than
half of these decided not to go on risk
ing their capital, aud are therefore re-
firing. 1t is believed that the foreign
merchants will benefit by the reduced
competition.

The Cause of TrichinOsis.

The Secretary of the Massachusetts
State Board of Health SAID the othel
day, in response to an inquiry as to what
that Board had to state regarding tho
trichina cases, that if people would eat
raw pork they would be sick, and that
since the middle of February there had
been upward Of fifty cases of trichinosi'
in Boston, with five deaths, larger
number than had ever before been re
ported to the Board in the past fifty
years. One,tenth of all the pork aro Iud
Boston, he said, was affected. The
only safety in the use Of pork was in it,
thorough cooking, New York Times.

Songs and Their Mriters.

"The composition of a really popular
song, one that catches the fancy of the
classes and masses, is feat that is gov
erned more by luck than knowledge" I"
recently remarked well-known music
publisher.
"From literary point of view the
majority of successes in this line are
atrocious, while their sentiment-if they
are of the sentimental order-is gener-
ally inclined to be both insipid and
mawkish.
"a we'll. written piece of verse, con-
veying an unconventional sentimental
idea, would have about one chance in
thousand to succeed. The quality of
the entire composition must be moder-
ately bad, viewed from high-class stand
point, but exactly how bad only the
fates can decide.
''In comic songs that catch on original
ideas are absolutely necessary, though
any humorous ballad in which the char
acters are knocked down and dragged
out with great frequency appeals strongly
to the popular fancy.
"'Down Went McGinty' and Throw
Him Down, McCloskey' are beautiful ex-
amples of this type.
"Some song writers make a great deal
Of money from their compositions. The
author of 'In the Cleaning raked in
about S15, 900 from it, but the greater
number do not realize much from their
work.
"But it is like gambling in way, aud
the knowledge that some day they may
stumble on song that will bring them
fortune if not fame-for nobody ever
remembers the author of a popular song
keeps them at it. And it's almost a
certainty that they'll never be able to re-
peat their first success. New York

COLUM BUS

Columbus was, they tell us now,
A man of flaw and fieck-
A man who steered pirate prov,
And trod a slaver's deck;
In narrow, bigot blindness curled,
Cruel and vain was he
To such was given to lift a world
From out the darkened sea.
Though weak and cruel, vain, untrue,
From all earth's high and low,
God picked this man, His work to do,
Four hundred years ago,
There in the distance standeth he,
Bound on his mighty quest,
This rough old Admiral of the Sea.
Still pointing toward the West,
There stands he on his westward PROV,
A man entirely strong;
So great, the bald truth spoken now
Can never do him wrong;
Though SLAYER, pirate, he might be,
He had that gift of fate
That wise and sane insanity
That makes the great man great.
Sam w. Foss, in Yankee Blade.

One of the curiosities of French legis.
lation was brought to public notice by a
recent incident in the Riviera. An Eng
hshman, who rented a cottage there on
the seashore, directed his servant the
other day to bring him a pailfull or two
OF sea water for his bath. The servant
informed him that it was against the law,
and if done without the special permis-
sion OF the civil authorities would sub
ject him to various pains and penalties.
He investigated the matter, aud found
that the permission was not easy to Oh
tain, and was only granted on his making
affidavit that the water was to be used
for no culinary purposes, and was not to
be boiled down for the salt. Nobody

sea, without paying the Government for

The Famous "Unter den Linden.

1t is the widest street of the capital
Berlin). In the middle there is broad,
unpaved, but excellently cared for prom
enade, bounded on one side by a riding
path, aud upon the other by stone
paved road, designed particularly for
heavy vehicles that might interrupt
traffic. Enclosing this central avenue
and the two side ones are four rows of
liudens, which have given the street its
name. Put you must not think of the
huge, wonderful lindens of our Northern
Germany. The old trees have suffered
great deal from time and the hostile in-
fluences of a great city, especially from
the gas-always fatal to vegetation
and they are now very shabby, mean
and melancholy sight. The electric light
