Grants first Inauguration wass much
surpassed by his second as to have sul-
fcrud am eclipse as asubjoct for ueCtac-
ular description. A drilling rain and
muddy streets made things uncOmf0rt-
able, and the waiting crowds would
have cheered as Justify the passing pro-
cession even had the conspicuous figure
in it been less renowned and popular
and the military display less fine. But
even as President Grant sought and
accepted hissecond election as a national
vindication of his civil career, so his
friends resolved TO make his reinstalla-
ton matter of national interest.
Who that saw the procession viii ever
forget the enthusiasm with which he or
she witnessed the marching, the align
ment the carrying of arms of the West
Point cadets; the sturdy swing and neat
and manly look of the naval cadets
from Annapolis, the splendid lines and
movement of the Marine corps; the
plumed and shiny light batteries, with
every man, horse, gun and carriage
looking like a new PIN" the sOldierly
appearance of Charley Spencer's Fifth
New York regiment in their Prussian
helmets; the gay-looling free-riding
Boston Lancers; the Philadelphia City
Troop; the Old Guard of New York; the
Albany Burgesses Corps in their great
bearsllins, and the Duquesne Grays of
Pittsburg? Never did Pennsylvania
avenue look so bright, varigated and
animated; never did the sky so shine
like q mirror, never the Capital at the
| end Of the vista so white and giisteniug.
For centuries to come, perhaps, this
second Inauguration of Grant win be
referred to as the point of beginning of
a series of cver-improving spectacles
! connected with the induction of new
President into Office. If all else should
fade from mind, surely the memory OF
the polar wind and the number of de-
| grees below zero at which the themom-
eter stood will live forever.

Defective Teeth.

The physical defect of Americans in
possessing bad teeth, or none at all, is
declared by DIR. Woods. of Pittsburg,
to be due In great measure to the faulty
kind of food given to children-the i'm
portance being primarily to select food
that requires mastication, as this tends
to develop the gums and salivary
glands. while the practice of giving too
much liquid food causes narrow jaws,
weakens the gums and mars physical
beauty then, too, the small, thin jaws,
consequent upon liquid diet do not
furnish room enough to accommodate
the teeth, even were the blood supply
sufficient-the teeth, thus crowded.
failing to receive adequate nourishment,
a most potent cause of defect in the
enamel and consequent carries. Masti-
cation, DR.. Wood remarks, is the i'm.
portant point-and so true is this that.
if proper care were taken of the diet of
children, Americans would be physic-
ally the strongest people on earth-sur-
passing in development and beauty the
ancient Greeks.

empty champagne bottle
The man who made the remark was
4 New Orleans man, one of group of
loungers in an uptown hotel. Several
looked up from their papers, and one
asked !:
What ssthat ?"
Il say can get fifty drops of cham
payne out of bottle you have drained.
I'll bet any one fifsy dollars that [ can
do it.
Il don't believe it, said another.
Want to take me up? I'll bet FIVE
hundred dollars to your five that L can
do it, and he took out large roll of
greenbacks.
Tell us how it's done, and if we are
convinced that your offer is a fair one
several of US will put up twenty dolla,s
against your hundred and furnish the
champagne to boot, said O stout man
who had become interested in the dis
cussion.

swered the stranger This is one of
the things more easily proved than ex-
planned. Where's the wine q
Some one ordered champagne. The
bottle was SOON emptied, and passed
around for inspection.
Now, remarked the New Orleans
man, turn the bottle upside down for
fifteen minutes till you are satisfied that
there is not drop in it, and then I
will show you simple little trick.
The bottle was duly turned up and
left for few minutes to drain. The
group surveyed the man critically, as if
expecting that they would be treated to
legerdemain performance.
Now, gentleman, said the stranger.
you will see that what is apparently
impossible will turn out to be a very
simple matter
Then tearing strip about nino
inches long from newspaper he insert
ed it in the upturned bottle. The
paper soon got damp, and gradually
drop after drop of wine oozed from the
end of it.
The members of the group looked as
If they ought to have known this before,
and yet as if they half believed they
were imposed upon. The speaker
continued:
Take my advice, never offer to fur
nish the champagne Yourself. You can
generally get some fool to do it, and
never explain the trick until you get the
champagne.
And the expounder of the law of
capillary attraction scooped in the four

ART AND ARTISTS.

Franklin W. Smith, of Boston, is still
agitating the establishment of a national
gallery of history and art in Washing
ton, to cost ultimately $10,000,0O0.
Hugh Copp, the 12-year- old son of
Mrs. Ellen Rankin Copp, Unknown
sculptor of Chicago, has modelled a
panel showing number of brownies in
a hurdle race.
A small but fine painting of Marie
Antoinette, which was taken from the
st. Cloud Palace at the time of the
Commune by German officer, is Of
fered for sale in Dusseldorf for $4,000.
There is but one portrait of Leo XIII
in marble, says London paper, and it
is bust made to Signor Gallo of the
Vatican Museum. He has been painted
by Lembach, Chartran and Bon, of
Venice.
From 1900 to 1000 Americans are
studying in Paris. The majority of
these are studying painting; some few
architecture Oh sculpture; some sing
ing, while still others are taking this
wise method of learning French.
The Khedive has opened the forty
six new galleries of the Ghizeh Mu-
scum, which have been added to the
forty-five previously existing. The
splendid collection of Egyptian antiq-
uities begun forty years ago is now for
the first time exhibited to the public in
its entirety.
The Emperor of Austria has paid
$4,000 for painting by SCHNEIDER,
lately deceased. which he saw at the
Kunstlerhaus, in Vienna, at an exhi-
5ition arranged for the benefit of the
artists family. The picture is called
Pax, and represents cemetery among
the hills, with ivy and dark expresses
about the tombs. The only figure is
monk putting out torch.
An old painting of Washington and
his family, by Edward Savage, who
painted it in Philadelphia in 1893, is on
exhibition in New York. 1t is shown
in its original frame, which is hand
carved. This picture was removed in
1910 from the New England Museum of
Boston to the old Boston Museum.
where it remained for over fifty years
1t is now owned by William r. Have

Fishing for Tarantulas.

The giant spider known as the
tarantula is nowhere more plentiful on
deadly than in California. and it is
considered quite feat to capture one
alive. A gentleman making s tour of
the Golden State managed to catch
three in one spot in a singular manner.

ences, he said. "but the most interesting
was the capture of these tarantulas. /

It's Heat Being Expended at Trem IL

It goes without saying that the vel.
fare of the human race is necessarily
connected with the continuance of the
suns benefcent action. 1t becomes,
therefore, of the utmost interest to III
quire whether the suns heat can he
calculated on indefinitely. Here is, ii,

life is concerned. Ii the sun ever ceases

there Is term beyond which hnman
existence, or, indeed, organic existence
of any type whatever, can not any
longer endure ON the earth. We may
say once more for all that the SIM con
tains just certain number of units of
heat, actual or potential, aud that he is
at the present moment shedding That
heat around with the most appalling
extravaganza. No doubt the heat hoard
of the sun is SO tremendous that the
consequences of his mighty profusion
do not become speedily apparent. They
are, indeed, it must be admitted, hardly
to be discerned within the few brief
centuries that the sun has been sub
mitted to human observation.

IN lrks that the great coal fields OF
Pennsylvania contain enough of the
precious mineral to supply the wants OF
the United States for thousand years.
If all that tremendous accumulation Of
fuel were to be extracted and burned
in one vast confagration the total
quantity of heat that would be pro
duced would no doubt be stupendous,
and yet, says this authority, who has
taught us so much about the sun, all
the heat developed by that terrible coal
ire would not be equal to that which
the sun pours forth in the thousandth

reflect that this expenditure of heat has

by saying that they are doubtless mil

RURAL HUMORlSTS.
How Young Man Played 1t High on an
Unsuspecting Editor,

How a Young Man Played 1t High on an
Unsuspecting Editor.
You can't most always tell about
these young men who do newspaper
work, remarked New York editor to
party of journalists, according to the
Detroit Free Press.
Il had heard that they hadn't very
good business ideas, however bright
they might be in other respects, and I
was little careless perhaps. Anyway,
once when wanted the services of one
to tone up my paper / called for speci-
men stuff, and from one chap in Il
nearby country town [ received such
excellent work that invited hun to
come in and see me. He came and
found him an ideal humorist. and as
guileless as he was ideal. I wanted a
column q week and he agreed to furn-
ish it at S25 a column, with SIS off for
each joke that was not copied by some
of my illustrious and esteemed cotem-
poraries. or he would do it for SIS
straight. I snapped up the S25 propo-
sition, for l was sure that out of a dozen
or fifteen jokes and verses and gags a
week certainly not more than half could
be good enough to catch on all around
He had an idea that he was great
humorist, and 1 had an idea for bust
ness, aud also to teach him that hu-
mility which doth so become Journal
list. / signed contract for year on
these terms and he went to work. The
first week he sent in ten squibs of vari-
Gus lengths and they were good, but /
calculated not more than half would go
the rounds and I would be even.
Within week thereafter [ received the
Podunk Banner or some such paper
with the entire column copied and, of
course, I whacked up the $50. The
next week the Banner copied the whole
lot again. and [ put up my S25 as be-
fore. Well. to make long story short,
that Podunk Banner, week after week,
copied every squib, and at last 1 wrote
to the Banner to find out who its editor
was, when, 10 and behold he was the
father-in-law of my humorist, and that
guileless funny man was having fun
with me in a way that despised. 1t
was too late, however, to kick, and rs
he wrote good stuff hadn't any occa-
sion to, only did swear at myself every
now and then for not having accepted
his proposition of S15 week straight,
and left to somebody else to teach hui
mility to great American humorist.'

Novel Instrument of death,

According to tradition. ZENITH, the
Legendary king of Scotland, was allurel
10 his death in most novel manner.
ZENITH had slain son and brother of
Fennella, who, to be avenged. ordered
Wiltus, a famous silversmith. to con-
struct a death dealing statue of silver.
In IFS right hand the statue held a
basin and in the left an apple of pure
gold, both set with diamonds and other
precious stones. To touch the apple
was to defy death, it being so arranged
that one guilty of such vandalism would
be Immediately riddled by poisoned
arrows shot from openings in the body
OF the statue.
ZENITH was invited to inspect the
wonder, and as Fennella had hoped, he
tried to pluck the precious imitation
fruit. But as soon as his hand touched
the golden apple he was wounded by
the arrows which shot ont from the
statue, and died where he fell.

Goldfish Mines.

An old sailor to the artic regions has
been telling how he misses really cold
weather down this way:
'Taint the kind Of air I'm used ter,
he said. Il don't believe I'll ever get
what [ want this side of the Labrador.
You don't have to fish for cod down to
the Labrador You just gifts pick
and shovel and mines 'em, just mine
'em out Of the icebergs. They're
frozen in fast. Some of 'em have been
in there for million years, more or
less. They got catched up some time
and just frozen in. A whaling man t
knows his business can tell off-hand
where he'd strike paying lead. He
lands crew on berg, and they cut a
level place to stand on, and then just
open galleries into the ice. You find
the cod in seams like coal. | never
worked in a coal pit, but I've had the
thing explained to me, and it's about
the same The cod were swimming
around, and layer of them got frozen.
Then would come layer of plain ice
underneath. without any trimmings,
and afterward another layer of cod.
It's colder work than fishing, cod min-
ing is, but the returns are quicker.
There are mines down to the Labrador
that have been worked for years and
years, and still they have never run out.
The Yaks-them' the Eskimos-know
where the best cod mines are, and they
won't tell, but the whalers know q
thing or two, likewise. I'm whales
