Natural Saloons.

The authorities of the National Botan-
ical gardens at Washington, as well as
those at Kew gardens, London, are at the
present time experimenting with both the
vegetable beer saloon'' and what some
one has been pleased to call natures own
whisky shop" The main point of differ
ence between these two antiprohibition
plants seem to lie in the strength of the
intoxicants which they distill, that caught
in the liquor receptacle of the latter being
much the stronger. Each leaf of the
whisky shop plant is provided with a
pitcher shaped vessel which terminates the
end of the leaf itself, and each pitcher is
provided with lid which shuts down at
nights and during bad weather, keeping
the dews and rains from mixing with the
beverage distilled therein.
This liquor, which is now under micro
scopical and chemical analysis, is known to
be natures provision for attracting in
sects, which the plant, after a true "spi-
der and fly" fashion, entraps and devours.
The receptacles of the vegetable beer
saloon" are larger than those on the plant
just mentioned, and are without lids. The
inside of the liquor cup is filled with hair
like spikes, all pointing downward. The
unwary insect walks down to get his
'dram," but the spikes prevent his egress,
and he never returns alive.-St. Louis Re-
nublic

WALLS A CENTURY OLD.
More Than a Hundred Years Now Since
the White House Was Begun.

The cornerstone OF the White
House was laid on Oct. 10, 1892, a lit
tie less than 800 years after the dis
covery OF America by Columbus.
The Commissioners had on the pre-
vious 14th of March advertised for
plans for Presidents house, and on
the 10th OF July they held meeting
In Georgetown and examined the
plans that had been submitted.
AS Is part oflocal history now, they
accepted the plans of James Hoban,
a Dublin architect, who had made
designs for the Presidents house,
framed, 1t Is said, in the model OF the
mansion OF the Duke of Leinster at
Dublin, the palace Of the royalty In
Ireland. The stone was in part quar-
lied at Aqua creek and brought to
new wharf, built for the purpose,
near the foot OF Seventeenth street,
but obstinate David Burns, as Wash.
ington called him, refused to allow
the wagons to pass over his ground
in carrying the stone to the site OF the
White House. He abused Mr.. RIO
ban roundly, and if the City Hall had
been built, and present legal fashions
then prevailed, he would have gotten
out an INDUCTION, but it is doubtful If
there was judge nearer than Upper
Marlboro or Annapolis; so despite
Burns opposition the stones were
carted through his place and the
White House rose. No memorial Of
the ceremonial OF laying the corner
stone has been discovered. 1t is GER
tain that the Virginia Free Masons
who had in 1871 laid one cornerstone
OF the District OF Columbia, who in
1893 assisted in laying the corner
stone OF the capitol, did not particle
pate in laying the cornerstone Of the
White House. 1t was probably laid
by Maryland Masons.
The building began to rise, how
ever, and in eight years was ready
for occupancy. The donations OF
Maryland, 1000, aud OF Virginia,
$l20, 900, assisted to pay for it, and in
April, 1900, four months after Wash
ington's death, Congress appropriate.
ed $4,000 to pay for its furniture.
Thenceforward 1t became the chief
mansion in the nation.

New YORK, Nov. 9.-This after
noon at 3 o'clock Prof. Charles A.
Briggs, Of the Union Theological
Seminary, will be placed on trial be-
fore the New York rresbytery to
answer to the charge of heresy. The
court room is the great audience
room Of the old Srotch Presbyterian
church in Fourteenth sire, t, between
Fifth and SIKH avenues. The trial
will continue until the case Is fin-
ished Spectators may occupy the
galleries rs long rs the conduct them
selves with propriety, and the
press will be represented. The
moderator who will preside at
to.day's meeting is pronounc.
ed Bliss, one Of the bitterest opponents
of Prof. Briggs. This, it is believed,
will be the final hearing Of the case
and the decision will place Prof.
Briggs either out of the pale Of the
Presbyterian church or strengthen
him in the position he now holds at
the Seminary. For two years the
case has teen disturbing element
in that church. The New York
Presbytery referred the matter 10 the
general assembly and that body re-
ferred it back for trial. The State
conference at Albany, at its recent
meeting, refused to take up the case.
In all likelihood DR.. Briggs will lose
the case. The specific charge Is that
in his lectures he practically denied
the Divinity Of Christ.

Growth of the South.

The Tradesman, Chattanooga,
Tenn, in its review Of the industrial
situation in the South for the week
ending November 5, states that a
moderate and steadyiucrease is to be
noted in the number of new indus
tries established. Several Touring
mills, iron working plants, coal
mines and quarries, and increase in
the average number OF new cotton
mills, as shown in the reports, indi-
cate that there is an encouraging con-
diti0n OF industrial development.
The new furniture factories, saw
and planning mills, lumber compan-
les and other woodworking plants
which have been established during
the week are more in number than
for a considerable time. The tone OF
the iron market continues very firm
and an advance of from so cents to
IS cents per ton is looked for after the
elections.
Every indication is in support of
the belief that the coming winter
season will be one OF prosperity.
The Tradesman reports AZ new in
dustries as established or incorporated
during the week together with 6 en-
largements of manufactures, and 8
important new buildings. Among
the new industries reported are a
brass and iron company ut Knox
Vile, Tenn; brick and tile works at
Savannah, Ga, and Dickson, Tenn;
canueries at Mckenzie and Union
City, Tenn; and cigar factory at
st. Augustine, Fla. Development

The essay was written in SO admirable
a style, as We're his letters and papers
generally, that his friends strongly
urged him to enter literature as Offering
more inducements and higher rewards.
Having for some time had a secret bias
I in favor of letters, he decided ON fiction,
and wrote "a Laodicean"-he was then
thirty-five-which, though clever and
interesting, had but moderate success.
The next year he brought out Under
the Greenwood Tree" followed by "a
Pair of Blue Eyes," which demonstrated
his fitness for the career he had chosen.
Ear From the Madding Crowd" placed
him in the front rank, and in "Tess" he
has clearly surpassed himself, as well as
his contemporaries. II has had an enor-
nous sale at home, and, believe. in
America, and has already been trans
lated into French, German and Swedish,
and continues in great demand. 1t is
thought that he will make at least $780,,
900 from the book not unlikely much
more, as its fame is steadily growing.
Hardy's soul Is in his profession. He is
constantly studying and preparing him
self for the work he has in hand. Nearly
every one of his novels describes a par
ticular part of England, and it is his
custom to spend some months in that
part, observing nature, human and ex-
ternal, before beginning to write. He
writes, too, with extreme care, and is
very methodical in his labor, giving
usually five or six hours day to it.
He is reputed to found most Of his
characters on actual persons, filling up
the outlines with differences and imagin-
ings Of his own He is an ardent lover
Of and in earnest sympathy with the
common people, as his stories attest,
and he spares no pains in depicting them
faithfully. His opinions, social and
political, as is obvious from Tess" par
ticulary, are very liberal, if not radical
He Is opposed to most Of the prejudices
and conventions of the upper classes
and is not, therefore, in favor with
them--a fact to which he is entirely in
different.
At the same time he is bright con-
versationist, has pleasant manners and
is fond of congenial society, of Ameri-
cans especially, who, as a rule, are fond
of him. He is on intimate terms with
many of your cultured compatriots Of
both sexes who are frequently in Eng
land, and finds their society delightful.

The Orthodox Mince Pie.

The consumption Of currants for pastry
making purposes in the United States is
very large, and the fondness for pies and
buildings, into the composition of which
raisins and currants largely enter, is un:
questionably derived from the mother
country. Onr American kinsmen's mode
of making muce pies differs, however, con-
siderably froln our own. From one kind
of mince pie they use as basis fresh OK
tongue, which for two days is kept covered
in equal quantities of salt, brown sugar
and powdered cloves; then 1t is boiled and
minced very fine; three pounds Of currants,
picked, washed and dried, go to the entire
tongue, with the grated rind of five lemons,
and an ounce of bitter almonds and a
pound of sweet almonds pounded, four
nutmegs, cloves and mace. To this are
added three pounds of beef suet, chopped,
six pounds of Sultana raisins and six ap-
Piles that have been pared and cored. Non
abstainers add n quart of Madeira and a
pint of brandy to the mixture.
Miss Jane Strickland has another way
for making mince meat. She begins with
finely shred and chopped beef suet, an
equal quantity of cold roast beef then her
currants and her raisins and apples come
In, and the whole is sweetened with moist
Jamaica sugar, favored with the peels of
two lemons and the usual spices. This
minced beef, when complete, Miss Strick-
land places in a tin dish lined with puff or
family paste-whatever kind Of paste that
may be; cut slices Of candied orange and
citron peel are placed on the meat, which
is covered in with paste and baked in a
quick oven.-London Telegraph.
