MIR. HARRIsoN's LETTER.

President Harrison's letter accepting
denomination at the hands of the Re-
publican party is characteristic docu-
ment. 1t displays the skill of special
pleader, thoroughly convinced of the
justice Of his cause. Two features are
brought into reciprocity
and Federal election law.
The argument in favor of reciprocity
is purely a practical presentation of
benefits derived from its operation with
out indulging in speculations as to the
extent to which it might be carried by
moro general legislation. That would
be more in place in Democratic docu-
ment
The force bill hardly shows moro
than the tips Of its claws in the mild
and padded argument for a 'non-par-
tisan commission" So long as the pro-
posed commission were con- posed of a
majority Of Republicans, and mono other
lies in Mr.. Harrison's mind, so long
would it be partisan body working for
partisan ends. Mr.. Harrison can only
see Democratic evils; Republican in
quities are invisible. Still it Is not to
be expected that he would be so i'm
polite as to show such disrespect to the
party which nominated him. Leave
that to his opponents.
The letter, as whole, is finely
sugar. wa tered; but we doubt whether it
it will sweeten any Democra tic voters.
MAYOR TRoUT's recommendation that
no more streets be torn up than are
accessory is right in line with what THE
TINES has advocated, and we are glad to
travel in such good company. Tie
streets are primarily intended for the
use of the travelling public.

DINNER TABLE TRICKS.

A good dinner table trick is to make
an egg force its way into an ordinary
wine carafe, such as is found on all
well regulated dinner tables. The
other accessories are some paper and
medium hard boiled egg with the
shell taken off. Drop the paper lighted
into a wine bottle and get the interior
well heated. This expands the air
within aud forces part of it out While
the interior is still hot stand the egg
mp on end in the neck of the bottle and
let it rest there. As the bottle cools
off the egg will begin to force its wsy
N, until it finally drops.
Another trick, which works on the
same principle, is to make a banana
peel itself. To do this all that Is
wanted is a wine bottle, a ripe banana
and bit of paper wet with alcohol
Light the paper and drop it into the
bottle. When the air in the bottle ID
we'll heated set the banana on end on
top and let it do the rest itself, as the
mir on the inside cools off and contracts
the outside pressure, pushing the ban.
ana down into the bottle until it has
pnlled itself out of its skin.

points of union. The two men who
make the elephant" fore legs and
hind legs, have something else to do
besides stamp about on the stage.
They are joined together by a yoke
which faStenS around the neck,
shoulders and arms OF each man, and
this yoke serves as a communication
between the two men. When the
front legs want to make movement,
this yoke prompts the hind legs as
to their action. II the front legs
want to advance, that movement
naturally draws the hind legs. By
the mechanical construction of the
beast" the rider is enabled to shift
his position on the back of the ele-
phant at will. If this law were
violated or not adhered to the ele-
plants equilibrium would be upset
The legs of the elephant are made
of guttapercha, and are worn pre-
cisely as trousers, and are held in
position by heavy suSpenders. The
soles of the feet are made of heavy
India rubber. The head rests upon
a socket, which gives it an elephant
tine undulation. And in this head is
a clock-work system of pulleys and
wheels used by the man who plays
the forelegs, and by this system he
manipulates the trunk, tusks, eyes
and ears. When the tender wants
to curl the elephants trunk inward
he inclines his head forward, grasps
a tag at the end of thong which is
fastened to the trunk, and by a
movement of his head, sets in mo
tiOn large wheel which turns so as
to draw the thong tight, giving the

was simple enough, the effect was
wonderfully amusing. The "ele-
phant" in De Wolf Hopper's wang
is a much complicated creation, and,
while it amuses the play-goer, the
mechanism is one OF study, and the
men who do the elephant" act are
not enjoying themselves as much
as the people who are In

HEADACHE.

Headache IS the disorder most complained Of
aow-a-days and against which the greater
number Of the sO-cal ed home remedies are ap-
plIed In most cases, however, they are not the
proper remedies, because most people are ig'
norant OF the true character OF the numerous
causes OF the disorder. And yet Il Is a very
simple matter indeed. In nine cases out OF ten
h-adache is produced by dlSoIdrIed stomach
and consequent imperfect circulation OF the
hood which causes a congestion In the head.
The physicians therefore call II gastric head

THE FEATHER PEN.

One of the prettiest novelties for the
writing table viii IA has been brought
out quite recently is an ostrich feather,
with the hues prettily arranged in per-
mauent curls, and fitted up as n pen.
holder, with gold and silver tip. The
feather appears to be much better be-
haved than the average bang, as the
curls remain permanently, and do not
require any further attention once
their heads are turned in the right di-
rection.
The feather pen is seen in different
lengths ar may be had in almost any
color desired. 1t is a most welcome
addition to lady's writing table, and
forms one of the many desirable gifts
with which to present friend who is
starting upon long journey. 1t is
pretty certain that all letters directed
to home friends, and certainly those to
the giver of the pen, will be writer
with it.
A monogram, either in plain or Jew
elled silver or gold, may be attached to
the stem, together with a tiny bar of
metal upon which is seen the date of
presentation. OF course, the super
siitious person who would not present
pen to a friend with any greater feel
ing of security in future friendship be
tween giver aud recipient than the
feeling with which he would present
that same friend with knife. But
with brave people, who scout the idea
of faith in such things, the feather pen
will be considered very desirable
gift at all times and at all seasons.

The ANCEST TRAL HOME OF THR
WASHINGTON FAMILY.

The thoughts of Americans OF all
, classes, both here and across the At
lantic, must have dwelt a great deal on
the stirring times between the years
1875 and 1873, and more especially on
the central figure of that deplorable
struggle between two peoples who
should have been linked together by all
the ties of brotherhood and common in
terest. Washlngton's name has al
ways been spell to rouse the en-
thusiasm of every patriotic heart, and
his history can but have deep inter-
est for English speaking people
| throughout the world.
Many efforts have been made to &C
curately trace his family history, but
none have met with complete success.
The old Manor House at Sulgrave. IN
Northamptonshire, which We illustrate
to-day, was the home OF a family oil
Washingtons, who, apparently, had
common baptismal name, Laurence.
There il brass plate in Sulgrave
Church, of which we give n sketch, to
the memory of Laurence w Washington,
Gent, and AIMEE his wyf, who had a large
family of sons and daughters. One OF
the sons, or else grandson, also called
Laurence, we find obliged to part with
the Sulgrave estat', and subsequent y
rem wing to Brington, near Althorps
Park, probably on account of being
related to Lord Spencer. In the
church at Brington can be found his
epitaph, dated December l3, 1916,
showing that by his wife, Margaret,
daughter OF William Tees of Sussex,
he had eight sons and nine daugters.
OF these John and Laurance are sup
posed, by some, to have emigrated to
| Virginia, though this is disputed by
other authorities.
| The connection between the above
named John and George Washingt N s
great grandfather John is by no means
clearly established. The latter settled in
| Virginia abont 1857; his eldest son
| Laurence had three children ohm,
Augustine, aud Mildred. Augustine
was twice married. By the first mar
riage there were four children, of
whom only two, Laurence and Angus
tine, grew to manhood. By his second
marriage, in 1730, with Mary Ball, he
had six children, one of whom, George
vas destined to become one of the
greatest men of the age. George
| Washington's early days were passed
lnder the guardianship of his half
brother Laurence at Mount Vernon,
where also, after his eventful career,
| he died on the 18th of December,
1893.
Washington's descent from the
family above mentioned Is, to II Ger
tain extent. borne ont by the fact of
the "ettrs and stripes" SO familiar in
he American national flag, appearing
IN the coat of-arms upon the memorial
brass to Laurence Washington in sui
Zrave Church.

TIE CHINESE JACANA.

Few of us n We the chance TO study

are expert divers, swimming under

rivers. Among this numerous class is
very beautiful bird, the Chinese Jacana.

of India, on The Ganges, near Benares,
and among the HimalayHn mountains

twenty-five inches. The front of the
neck and chest is white. The upper
or back part of the head and neck is of
bright orange color, thin blacT line
dividing the two colors. The rest of
the body is of a deep chocolate brown.
! IS toes are long and slender, and ap
pear unsuitable for use IN the water;

the wings. When in search of food, tie
Jscana may be seen on the surface OF
some clear stream or lake, tripping
about upon the broad leaves of the
lotus or water-lily, looking for in
sects; the use Of his long, slender
toes Is then very apparent.
When he seeks food, which is to be
found only in the water, he dives from
his platform of broad leaves; reaching
the bottom, lie rms about, perfectly at
home, ST srching for the kind of food he
desi es. When alarmed he dives noise

and hiding among the stems of aquatic
plants, rising at intervals aud thrust
ing his bill out of water Just enough to
take in air. When doubt and danger
are past, he emerges once more into
