The most remarkable art produc
ton cf modern times is said to be
the new Cyclorama of the Chicago
Fire located on Michigan Avenue,
in that enterprising city. The great
work is reported to have cost nearly
a quarter of a million of dollars, and
shows in a very realistic and wonder.
ful manner the great { re OF 1871.
The observer Is placed in an ele
waited position on the site Of old Fort
Dearborn, Immediately south of the
Rush St. Bridge. and from this his
toric spot views this grand and awe
inspiring scene. To the southwest
lies the business portion of the city,
a smouldering mass of red hot ruins,
the great north side is a sea OF
flames, while along the lake shore
are two or three streets that are
doomed, but not yet destroyed, Civ
ing here a glimpse of the old Chi
cago Of ante-6re days. The scene
along the lake shore in and about
the Old U. S. Marine Hospital and
the Rush Street Bridge is one OF in
describable coniusion.--fhousands Of
helpless and homeless iE a wild and
furious flight for safety. The whole
effect is sublime and awful in the
extreme.
Unusual care was taken to make
this grand work worthy Of the sub
iect, ard above all, to have it his
torically correct. Professor David
Swing and other eminent authorities
pronounce the whole faithful por-
trayal OF this great historic event. 1t
will remain as one OF the sights Of
the city until after the Worlds Fair.

Is small when compared with the beau
tiful home which Mrs. Morton has occu-
pied on the Hudson. Both Mrs. Morton
and her husband have artistic tastes,
and their home in Washington is filed
with pictures and engravings which
were found abroad. In short no Wash
ington residence is more delightfully."- in
teresting and instructive, as it may be
said no receptions are more eagerly
patronizel and praised. 1t is true that
the vice presidency has never been con-
spicUoua as Geld for social display. 1t
remained FOR Mrs. Morton to make it
what i should be ia impOrtanre-neXt
to the presidency. The result has been
that Mrs. Mort4n's at homes and reeep-
lions have followed one upon the other
in quick succession, and have reached
the acme of brilliancy and elegance.
In personal appearance Mrs. Morton
is singularly attractive. Her carriage
is stately and her manners sunny. She
is a blonde with a tinge of gray in her
hair, and with eyes of Erayish blue.
She is highly educated and as hostess
is Incompatible. No woman has done
so much to make social life brilliant in
Washington during thel arrison admin
istration, and no woman could do more.

coal property put it ahead The sys-
zen, as now organized, has 1894 miles
of road, $4,000 acres of land. about
$500, 100000 in bona fide capital and
10000 men in its employ-over five
! times the standing army of the United
States
At the head of this wonderful com
bination, as president of the principal
roads and trustee or lessee for others,
is man only forty-fve years old, who
began his career as a rodman on the
Northern Pacific line. Archibald An
gus Mcleod, this new monarch of the
rail, is of Scotch parentage, but of
American birth, born in 1S47 Begin
ming while but a lad in the lowest
walks of railroad life, he rose so rapid
ly that in 1886 he was called from the
northwest by parties interested in the
Reading road, and made its general
manager. lie rapidly renovated the en-
tire line, inaugurated a new and more
efficient train service. and had already
acquired high standing as a practical
railroad man when he astonished the
world by engineering the great COM
bine of last winter.
He now declares that this last deal
IS strictly speaking, not a combination.
The Boston Il Maine retains its identity
as does the Reading, only ne is presi-
dent of both; the same men own a con-
trolling interest in the stock of both,
and the two will run in complete uni
son. Railroad men say it amounts to
the same thing, and that Mcleod will
have free swing from Boston 10 the far
southwest. and northeastward as far as
railroads go.

enterprise to the first railway IN the

"a rural farming district in Michi-

has provided itself with a telegraph
line eight miles in length. connecting
large number of scattered farms with
the village store, the proprietor of
which ofiiciates as telegraph operator,
express agent, postmaster and 50 on.
The total cash expenditure for the out
fit is said to have been only some 5000,
while the expense of maintenance,
which is but trifng sum, is assessed
equally upon the owners. The small
cost and enormous convenience of such
a system as this in country districts
ought to lead to more general adop-
ton of the plan. Especially after the
expiration OF the telephone patents in
1894, such a system of intercommunica-
ton by wire would be possible in every
township throughout the country. The
individual expense would be almost in
significant, and in the item of useless
travel alone would save many times its
cost every wear"

in last month this pigeon surprised the

Story About tho P2nsy.

A pretty fable about a pansy is cur
rent among French and German chill
dren. This flower has five petals and
five sepals. Ia mostpansies. especially of
the earlier and less highly developed
varieties, two of the petals are plain in
color and three are gay. The two plain
petals have single sepal each, and the
third, which Is the largest Of all, has
two sepals. The fable is that the pansy
represents family, consisting Of hus-
band. wife and four darrhtor5, two of
the latter being stcpchil3reu Of the
wife. The plain petals are the step
children, with only one chair: the two
small gay petals are the daughters with
a chair each, and the large gay petal IS
the wife with two chairs. To find tho
father one must strip away the petals
until the stamens and pistils are bare.
They have fanciful resemblance to an
old man with flannel wrap about his
neck, his shoulders appraised and his
feet in d bathtub. The story is probably
of French origin because the French
call the pansv the Stepmothcr

Most of those who have experienced
the miseries of seasickness, however
they might differ in minor details of
statement, would agree in ascribing
this most dispiriting malady to one
main cause.-The motion of the ship. In
SO far the whole medical faculty would
concur in their decision. This, then, is
the central fact which confers upon
the disorder its unique position. 1t is
really not pathological but a physio-
logical disturbance, concludes the Lon
don Lancet.
1t has no natural connection with
dyspepsia. The robust and healthy, by
a strange contradiction, suffer from it
for the time hardly less than the weak
and i'll Its variations of intensity are
felt to be counterparts of mere bodily
oscillation. Some find relief from it in
change of posture, others in active occu-
patton, all more or less when their
storm tossed vessel sails under the lee
of land. Custom and use commonly
secure immunity. These are circun-
stances which one and all point to
mechanical causation as a source of the
discomfort.

which must bear the brunt of accusa-
ton. 1t follows that successful treat
meut cannot be guaranteed by any one
method or panacea. Redundancy, pure
deck air, moderately firm bandaging Of
the body are all useful. Drugs have
their place and their partial utility:
but, as we have already, suggested,
there is no remedy equal to a lee shore
Nothing can be much more depress-
ing than seasicknesS, and for this reason
we should strongly advise all weak
persons not to encounter, if possible,
the risk of its occu-< euce. 1t is aston

measure of constitutional elasticity re-
cover from its depression. In their case
the benefits of n sea trip may thus.

appetite, be even enhanced by a few
hours of mechanical nausea. 1t is. in

1t may be remarked that no one

precaution to conceal his identity. He

his little cottage are covered with
scores of teams and hundreds Of Wis

converted into a picnic grove. and the
old man shares the hospitality of his
visitors, tells them quaint stories, and
in return they give him the remnants
of their fcasts and little gratuities, and
purchase the photographs of himself
