A Prison ANp PALACE.


Behold the tall and lambent spire
Irradiatc with sunset fire,
Those windows smit with twilight beams,
With evenings iridescent CLEANS:
How they reflect the early night,
L. mingling gold and lazulite,
Aud bow those tail TRANSPORTED towers
Bloom 'galnst the night like granite flowers
How Rrhndly lifts yOn Furnished dome
A skyey shape Of fire and fOaml
"What are the buildings. friendf' said ].
That loom against the eastern sky,
And dashed with many sunset CLEAN
Look like the palace of dreamf"
''Them buildings, boss" the man replied
A sly smile In bis features pale
"Y0u just lookout you keep outside;
Them buildings Is the county jail"
Panied Mt this ending OF my dream,
This anticlimax TO my theme,
! found n poultice for my pain
Ia this wise mOralizing strain:
We all live IN n county Jail
Whose towering walls we cannot scale.
Though firmly. all In vain, we press
Against its granite stubbornness.
Dull, cold rs fate. It's walls arise
And shut our vision from the skies.
But when hopes sunlight falls upon
It's thick and heavy walls Of stone,
They loom against the coming night.
Transhgured Ia mystic light,
And, bathcd Ia gold and amethyst,
The granite grows as soft as mist
Tranaformed becomes the culprit's jail.
And from It's towers cloud banners fling
Their gorgeous windings 10 the gale

A True Daughter of Spain.

The wife Of the Spanish Minister
at Washington, Nine. Suarez, is a
typical daughter of Spain. She has
soft black eyes and an olive skin,
with a voice that seems to have
been made to accompany the guitar.
She is a very accomplished pianist
and her music and her babies oc-
cupy her attention almost to the
exclusion Of society, for which she
cares very little. She was born in
Madrid and educated there.
Nine. Suarez cannot forbear to
wonder that Americans, "who are, "
she said, $50 clever in most things,
should be so ignorant of Spain.
You Judge of u.s." she says with
fine scorn, "from the dancers of the
concert halls who come over here
to amuse you, and that is not fair.

over to lace mantillas, mandolins

MANS ORGANISM.
Good Reason for Calling It Fearfm
and Wonderful Creation.

In the human body there -ars
about 263 bones. The muscles are
about 500 in number. The length
of the alimentary canal is about
80 feet. The amount OF blood in
an adult avareges 80 pounds, or
fully fifth of the entire weight.
The heart is six inches in length
and four inches in diameter and
beats seventy times per minute, A.
200 times per hour, 100000 times
per day, 36,792 900 times per year,
1866 ,44O, 600 in threescore and ten,
and at each beat q ounces of blood
are thrown out of it, IT'S ounces per
minute, 656 pounds per hour, seven
and three-quarters tons per day.
All the blood in the body passes
through the heart in three minutes.
This little organ by its ceaseless in
dustry, pumps each day what is
equal to lifting 122 tons l foot high,
ore one ton 122 feet high. The
lungs will contain about one gallon
of air at their usual degree of in
flation. We breathe on an average
1 200 times per hour, inhale 600
gallons of air, or $4,000 per day.
The aggregate surface of the air
cells of the lungs exceeds 10000
square inches, an area nearly equal
to the floor of room II feet square
The average weight of the brain of
an adult male is three pounds
and eight ounces; of a female,
two pounds and four ounces. The
nerves are all connected with it, di-
rectly or by the spinal marrow.
These nerves, together with their
branches and minute ramifications,
probably exceed 100000 in
number, forming a"body guard"out-
numbering by far the greatest army
ever marshaled The skin is COM
posed of three layers and varies from
one-fourth to one-eighth of an inch
in thickness. The atmospheric
pressure being about IA pounds to
the square inch, person of med
ium size is subjected to a pressure
of 10000 pounds. Each square
inch of skin contains $500 sweat
ing tubes, or perspiratory pores,
each of which may be likened to q
little drain pipe one-fourth of an
inch long. making the aggregate

ga squaw man." said James B.
Hoffman of Guthrie, Oklahoma, is
a white man who has married an
Indian squaw. There are thousands
of them out West and in California
and Nevada. In the last named
states they are a disreputable lot,
ostracized by their fellow-whites
and lowered generally to the
plane on which they have volun-
tarily placed themselves. They live
in cabins in the mountains, fish,
hunt, work and mine little, but
roll in the mire of social degrada-
ton we'll deserved, for it is beyond
the comprehension of a decent white
man how one can marry an average
Indian squaw, especially when there
are so many white women who may
be had for the asking. But down
in my country the conditions are
slightly different, but as a class
they are a low-down set of men. |
never saw an intelligent, refined
squaw man. Most of them are of
the ordinary caliber, and in perhaps
seven cases out of ten it is generally
supposed that they left their re-
spective communities for their own
protection.
"The most prominent squaw
man the in United States is old
Amos Chapman, out in the Terri
tory. While some of them are we'll

South African Gold.

Says one who has spent year or
more in the South African gold re-
gion: "The American people know
very little about these mines, and |
have been astonished that in all this
talk so little reference has been
made to the probability that within
the next few years the gold supply
of the world will be increased by as
large an amount as that taken from
the mines of California and Aus
tralia.
"The mines are owned wholly by
European and mostly by British
capital. They were first developed
about six years ago. They lie about
/ 200 miles north of Cape Town,
and their richness is made evident
by one fact at least, and that is
that the city of Johannesburg,
which is a typical American city.
did not exist six years ago, and
now contains $4,000 people, and is
rapidly growing, and very hand
some town it is.
"The mining territory is about SO
miles long and three miles in width
The best mining experts in the
world are now agreed that it is
fully as rich as any gold mine ever
discovered. It is estimated that the
territory will not be worked out
until something like eighty years
have passed. The ablest experts
have reported to the English capi
talists that there is something like
81, 100000 of gold, if not exact
ly in sight, at least practically so
without taking any account o
deeper mining.
"When l first went there th'
mines were yielding less than 100,
900 ounces month; since tha
time the yield has steadily increased
until just before I came away las
summer the yield was more thar
10000 ounces, and | have hear'
that it is now nearer 10000 ounce
a month. This development, every
body believes, will steadily increase
so that at the end of the century
is likely that these mines will adj
to the worlds store of gold from
$2OO,OOO,OOO to $250,00O,000 an
perhaps more"

Sits In the Middle Car.

"I'm very particular" said a COM
mercial traveller, what car of q
train I select. I travel thousands
of miles year, and have made it a
rule to observe in the accounts of
railroad accidents which cars of the
train are the most often demolished.
The result of my experience-for |
have been in dozen smashups-
and observation are that the middle
cars are the safest. | never under
any circumstances ride in the rear
car. / avoid the car next to the
baggage car, though this is selected
by many as the safest. The greatest
danger at present in railroad trav-
cling is telescoping. When man
has been in a wreck and has seen
the engine Of the colliding train
half way inside Of the rear car, or
rather what's left of It, it impresses
him most forcibly. The baggage
car is usually heavily loaded, and
in the collision its weight, together

He Changed His Mind.

II tell you, Jessop," said the
Fourth-street lawyer to the Elm
street real estate man, as they
passed the banana stand on the
corner, "there is fruit that is not
properly appreciated"
"What fruit?"
"The banana" said he positively.
"Why not?" asked the other du-
biously.
"Why? Why? Man alive, don't
you know that the banana is one of
the greatest blessings divine Gre
ator ever showered down on hu-
manity?'
Cannot say that did"
"Why, man, there is as much
nutriment in one banana as there
is in three fve-cent loaves of bread
it has been proven by analysis.
The fruit can be eaten as it is, raw,
or sliced with cream, or made into
delicious ices, or fried or baked.
There is fine -four for breadstuffs
made from it when dried; sausage
and beer can be made from the
pulp properly prepared; the juice
of the peel contains a substance
that makes a really indelible ink,
and another acid that makes better
vinegar than the best apple cider

Delaware's Curious Capital.

The Delaware Legislature is one
of the smallest legislative bodies
on earth and all its belongings are
on a lilliputian scale. The nine
Senators sit in a small room nearly
filled with desks, and having space
on old fashioned settees for score
or two of spectators. The twenty
one Representatives occupy sim
iliar and longer room, provided
with an amusing little gallery for
spectators. The public and the
legislators are close together, and
anything uttered in an ordinary
conversational tone can be heard
all over even the larger chamber.
A loud speaker in one house may
be heard in the other. This curious
little body works like any other leg
islature.
The Statehouse looks like a small
public school building. It is Of
brick, two stories high and sur
mounted by cupola. It looks out
on the village green. Hard by is
the County Jail, with it's whipping
post and pillory in full view from
the windows of the Statehouse. No
official residence is provided for
the Governor and he lives wherever
his home happens to be when ne IS
elected, coming to Dover only when
business requires his presence. lie
has an office in the little State
house, as have the Secretary OF
State, the State Auditor and the
State Treasurer. The State library
is crowded into the same building
and contains Latin Bible dated
1881. Upon this book the state

self, and perMps longer. The leg
