THE NIXON BUILDING.

The interest that attached to the
building is related in the words of an
inscription that was placed upon the
cornerstone after the big fire. 1t was
as follows:
This freproof building was the only one in
the city that successfully stood the test of the
great fire of October and ., 1871.
The building was not finished when
the fire occurred, though the walls were
plastered and the floors laid The in
terror was full of lumber intended for
finishing purposes, and in some. of the
rooms it was piled nearly to the ceiling.
The structure was i'll the midst of the
burned district, and the test which it
wlthstood was exceptionally severe.
When the fire was over, it was the only
building that could be fixed up for oc-
cupancy, its walls and rooms being prac-
tically intact. Ten days after the fire it
was all ready for tenants. The tenants
were also ready for the building, and it
is said that business men used to follow
Mr.. Nixon around begging for swear
leases at exorbitant rents.
The secret of the buildings noncom-
bustibility lay in the fact that the iron
beams We're heavily coated with plaster
of paris, which is practically noncon-
ductor of heat. Mr.. Nixon, on the adj
vice of his architect, had insisted on this
being done, though his contractors tried
to make him believe it was useless. Mr..
Nixon had boosted that he was going to
erect building that should last till the
crack of doom. and he watched the CON
tractors carefully to see that their neg
lect did not interfere with his plans. He
was we'll repaid for his watchfulness.
The building was originally five stories
high and cost about $150,0O0, but two
stories were added i'll 1885. 1t had mar
bic wainscoting and floors in the halls
and iron stairways and was an archi-
tectural wonder in its day. The first
story was of limestone and the upper
part of Ohio sandstone. The founda-
lions were extra thick and well con-
creted

A Chat About Dwarfs.

Long ago 1t used to be a fashion in the
east and in many European countries to
Keep as attendants in courts and in the
houses of the great those curious little poo
pie known as dwarfs. The smaller they
were the more highly they were priced,
and although they frequently acted as
pages and usLcrs the poor little men were
mostly treated as playthings like my lady's
monkey or parrot.
The Turks were very fond of having
dwarfs about them, and if they were deaf
and dumb, too, very high prices were paid
Tor them. There was Il Turkish grandce
who possessed one named Aboo Zatlek, and
he delighted in startling his guests by the
aid of this dwarf. Aboo was so small that
he could be concealed in Il variety of I'M
likely places. Sometimes he WAS hidden in
box OF swcetmeats, the guests would be
politely invited To help themselves, and the
moment they opened The lid Aboo flew out
ut them like Il vcritable observation-disclosures.
While the terrified guests cried loudly.
"Wallah, wailah.' Aboo's master roarel
with delight
Onc OF the Roman cmperors when he was
present at the conbats of the glntliators al
ways had II dwarf dressed in scarlet sitt;n.,
nj his feet, with whom he used to talk. He
also took the .dea into his head of training
band of these little creatures and max
ing them fight before him like the real
gladiators.
Mark Antony had a dwarf not . feet
high whom he called Sisyphus He was a
clever and lively little man and acted as n
sort of jester
In Russia dwarfs were used by the no.
bles as pages, one of their duties being to
comb the dogs hair. 4 very small dwarf
would not be much bigger than very large
dog.
Peter the Great had Il mite of II creature
whom he called his doll and who was very
proud of the title. She lived to be 100.

AN INTERESTING ANIMAL.
The Hippopotamus In Captivity and In It's
Native Haunts

The Hippopotamus In Captivity and In It's
Native Haunts.
One would hardly expect that SO huge an
animal as the hippopota,rus, accustomed
to an abundance of space. water and food
could be made SO contented as the one here
illustrated appears. Yet thus these great
and ungainiy creatures may be found in 20
illogical gardens in different parts of the
world, where they may be seen almost any
day enjoying siesta, with perhaps little
feathcred visitants around fearlessly pick
ing up the grain that may have fallen from
the huge jaws of the hppopotamus.
Africa is the only quarter of the globe in
which the hippopotamus is found He is
one of the largest of existing quatlrupeds,
his bulk being little inferior to that of the
elephant, although he does not stand nearly
so high, the legs being so short that the
body nearly touches the ground.

quired all Of the property necessary for its
depot grounds. The price paid is in the
neighborhood OF $235, 600. This ensures
the speedy erection OF . terminal depot
that will cost at least $3.50. 600. a
The great importance of the successful
contamination Of this work to the city Of
Seattle can hardly be overestimated. It
will give the city all of the advantages
that can accrue from its being made the

road.
While Seattle has, in the past, grown
and prospered by reason of its superior To-
cation and its great natural advantages. 1t
has never had the important and fostering
care of powerful corporation. From this
time on the interests of Seattle will be in
. great measure allied with the interests Of
the best managed, most conservative and
wealthiest transcontinental railroad that
reaches the Pacific ocean. The prosperity
OF Seattle will assist in the upbuilding Of
the Great Northern railroad, and tho pros
perity OF the Great Northern railroad will
assist in the upbuilding of Seattle.
President Hill will find that his energy,
ability and wisdom in the management Of
his great property will receive the support
and encouragement to which it is entitled

interests.

money for it, nobody but Mr.. Wright has
any business to say what shall be done
