1t is told of O. P. Huntington, the
railroad magnate, that recently upon
his receiving a small package rela-
tive discarded the paper and twine,
throwing them into the waste paper
basket. Mr.. Huntington arose and,
continuing his talk with some gentle.
men present, apparently unconsciously
took the paper out of the basket, neat
ly folded it, and taking care of the
string, placed them both In q drawer
for further use. One Of the party re-
marking that that was close economy,
Mr.. huntington remarked that between
that and extravaganza there was a
wide gap. But Mr.. Huntington In 40
ran hardware store in California and
paper and twine were not readily OBJ
tanned, and he probably acquired the
habit of closely saving those two arti-
cles.

resolution and earnestness, and the de-
meanor is dignifed'and impressive.
The statue may be regarded as rep
resentative of the colonial time and
spirit. The pedestal is designed to
harmonize with the figure, the Ionic
columns of the front recalling the
period when classic architecture had
full sway in this country. Mr.. Part
ridge is the sculptor of the Shakespeare
In Chicago, and he Is at work on the
equestrian statue of Gen. Grant to be
placed in front of the Brooklyn Union
League clubhouse.
The suggestion that the Hamilton
club erect the statue was made by the
late Edward A. Secomb, and he ar
ranged the preliminary steps in the
matter. Since his death the matter
has been taken charge Of by Willis l..
Ogden. The funds to pay for the work
have been subscribed by the members
of the club.
The statue is great addition to the
few to be found In public places in
Brooklyn. The Lincoln at the park
entrance, the Beecher In front of the
city hall, soon to be removed to Pros
pect park, and the Stranahan in that
pleasure ground are the only ones to
be found, save few busts in the park
and In Greenwood cemetery.

Ono of the Best Works of william Ord

scriptions That Have Been
Placed on the Pedestal

The bronze statue OF Alexander
Hamilton, the work of William Ordway
Partridge, was unveiled with public
ceremonies in front of the Hamilton
clubhouse at Clinton and Remsen
streets, Brooklyn, October A. George
M. Olcott, ex-president Of the club,
made the speech of presentation, and
the statue was received by President
James McKeen. Johua M. Van Cott
made an address on Hamilton as
statesman, and Gen. Stewart L. Wood
ford spoke of Hamilton as soldier
The statue stands in front of the
clubhouse in Remsen street, halfway
between the entrance and the street
corner, just within the iron railing
surrounding the club property. A
solid foundation has been laid to sup
port the pedestal of marble, eight feet
in height, on which the statue, ten
feet in height, stands. The following
inscriptions have been placed upon the
PEDESTAL:
"There is not in the constitution Of the United
States an element OF order, of force or Of du-
ration which he has not powerfully contrib
uted 10 introduce and caused to predominate"
-Guizot
"He smote the rock Of the national resources
and abundant streams Of revenue gushed
forth"-Webste
"The model of eloquence and the most fasci-
mating of orators. STORY.
"His rare powers entitled him to the fame OF
being the first in Intellectual product of America"
Stevens.
"rhe name of Hamilton would have honored
Greece In the age of tides."-Ames.
Mr.. Partridge, the sculptor, began
thinking of statue of Hamilton, at
the suggestion of DIR. Arthur Matthew
son, ten years ago, and has endeavored
to set forth in the figure the genius Of
the man of whom Talleyrand said:
"He OWNED America" 1t represents
Hamilton IN colonial costume, with a
roll of manuscript in his left hand, in
the attitude of an orator, earnestly
setting forth great truths. The pose

sunshine through the riffs. We
mounted to the Flagstaff in order to OBJ
tain a better view of the scenery, and
there we at once observed in the fog,
In an easterly direction, double rain
bow forming a complete circle, and
seeming to be twenty to thirty feet
distant from us. In the middle of this
we all appeared as black, erect and
nearly life-size silhouettes. The out
lines of the siihouettes were so sharp
that we could easily recognize the fig
ures of each other, and every move
ment was reproduced. The head of
each individual appeared to occupy
the center of the circle, and each of us
seemed to be standing on the inner
periphery of the rainbow. We esti-
mated the inner radius of the circle to
be six feet. This phenomenon lasted
several minutes, disappearing with the
fog-bank, to be reproduced in new fog
three or four times, but each time
more indistinctly. The sunshine dur
ing the phenomenon seemed to us to
be unusually bright. Mr.. Kielland-
Torkildsen, president of the Tele-
marken Tourist club, writes to me
that the builder of the hut on the top
of Gausta has twice seen spectacles of
this kind, but in each case it was only
the outline of the mountain that was
reflected on the fog. He had never
seen his own image, and he does not
mention circular or other rainbows.

The Cause of Bilioasness.

The cause of biliousness is dilated
stomach. Food decomposes in the
stomach, and that gives rise to the con-
dition known as biliousness. 1t is a
state of poisoning in the stomach, pro-
duced by the action Of germs upon the
food remaining there. When those
germs grow up through the esophagus
they produce the bad coating on the
tongue. Biliousness always means bad
diet. If a man is bilious he ought to
be ashamed Of himself, for 1t means
that he has abused his stomach. A
dilated stomach is very common among
chronic dyspeptics. 1t is stretching
OF the stomach in consequence of over
loading it; it is sometimes due to a
breaking down of the stomach.

WHERE CRUSOE LIVED.
The Rock Bound, Sea-Girt Isle OF
Juan Fernandez.
The Lonely Spot on Which That Hardy
Scotch Buccaneer, Alexander Sol
kirk. Made His Home for Four
Long, Lonely Years.

Upon Juan Fernandez, or Mas-a-
TERRA, rocl-bound, sea-girt islet in
the Pacific ocean, may the name of
Robinson Crusoe's island be fairly be-
slowed. For here, says London Black
and White, did that hardy buccaneer,
Alexander Selkirk, of Largo, in Scot
land, spend more than four dreary and
lonely years, thereby suggesting to
Defoe his immortal narrative. 1t must
be remembered, however, that other
spots upon the earth's surface lay claim
to Robinson Crusoe, too. Thus Tobago,
in the West Indies, is held to be the
true Crusoe's isle, and during the last
Colonial and Indian exhibition held in
London there was sent as an exhibit
from little Tobago q skull actually
purporting to be that of Robinson
Crusoes historic goatl But the Scotch
pirate certainly suggested his romance
to Defoe, wherever that author may
have chosen to lay his plot, and for
this reason Juan Fernondez must be
interesting to English readers, from
the crowns of Its volcanic peaks to the
silver surf which breaks eternally upon
Its shores. Amidst the islands forests
Of tree-ferns did Selkirk live, build
him a habitation, and cultivate the soil;
from its mountain caps must his weary
eyes have sought sail through the
long years Of lonely waiting. Our
Illustration, while showing point of
Juan Fernandez especially associated
with Selkirk, affords at the same time
