Senator Brice has been among the
Democrats ''outside the breastworks"
ever since the new administration
began business. The other day the
President, seemingly in spirit of
conciliation, asked Mr.. Brice to name
good man for third auditor of the
Treasury. Mr.. Brice submitted three
names, either of which would have
been satisfactory to him. Several days
later much to the Senator's chagrin
the appointment was given to John G.
Reilley, known to all Ohio people as a
bitter personal enemy of Mr.. Brice,
making it appear that he had been
asked to recommend a man for the
place solely to be snubbed. Mr.. Reilley
declined the position, but that did not
soften the open affront put upon Mr..
Brice, who lately remarked signii-
cantly: "Even the man with the long
est credit has to face day of settle
ment sometime"

was instituted and the honey

On cutting open the body of the tree

honey, eleven duck eggs and dead

An animal which makes most Ac rec.
able pet, but is rarely tanned on ac-
count of its fur value, is the North
American beaver. A well known In
dian trader. some years ago, tanned
some of these Woodworking fellows.
SO that they answered to their names
and followed like dog. In cold
weather they were kept in the sitting
room, and were constant companions
of the women and children. When the
Indians were absent for any great
length of time the beavers showed
great uneasiness, and on their return
discovered equal signs of pleasure by
fondling them. crawling into their
laps, lying on their backs like a souir-
rel. and behaving like children in the
presence of parents whom they seldom
see. In their wild state beavers feed
on bark and heritage chiefly, but in
their case they feed for the most part
on rice, plum padding. partridge and
venison, and they like all of them cx-
tremely.

cHIMNEYS IN ENGLAND.
They Were Not In Use There Before the
Twelfth Century.

They Were Not In Use There Before the
Twelfth Century.
There does not appear to be any evi
dence of the use of chimney shafts in
England prior to the twelfth century.
In Rochester castle, which is in all
probability the work of w. Corbyle.
about 1870, there are complete fire.
places with semicircular backs. and a
shaft in each joint supporting semi
circular arch over the opening, which
is enriched with zigZag molding;
some of these project slightly from the
wall. The fues, however. go only a
few feet up in the thickness of the
wall. and are turned at the back. the
apertures being small oblong holes.
At Castle Rockingham, Essex. which is
about the same date, there are fire.
places and chimneys of similar kind.
A few years later the improvement of
carrying the flue up through the whole
height Of the wall appears, as at Christ
church, Hants; the keep at Newcastle;
She-borne castle, Dorsetshire; Conis-
borough castle. Yorkshire, and Boothby
rey shafts are of considerable height
and circular. afterward they assume a
great variety of forms. and during the
fourteenth century they are frequent
ly extremely short. Previous to the
sixteenth century the shaft is often
short, and not unfrequently terminated
by spire or pinnacle, usually of rath-
er low proportions, having apertures
of various forms, under and sometimes
in it, for the escape of the smoke.
There are also taller shafts of various
forms-square. octangular or circular
-surmounted with cornice, forming
a sort of capital. the smoke issuing
from tie top. Clustered chimney shafts
do not appear until rather late in the
fifteenth century; afterward they be-
came very common, and were frequent
ly highly ornamented. especially when
of brick.

Crime and immortality.
III AOSio 80 - -.
Clark Avenue and Tenth Street.

The international pickpocket art is,
in Europe at least, almost entirely car
ried on by Roumanians, Servians, Bull
garians, Russians and Galicians. They
outrank in cleverness by far the once
worid-famous English and American
professionals in that line. The in
crease in all civilized lands Of crimes
against morality, religion, public peace
and the government is mostly due to
the socIalistic wave which permeates
all classes. While crimes and Grim
inals will always exist as long as the
world lasts, the next few centuries in
their onward march of education and
civilization will bring about marked
decrease, and the criminal statistics
and annals of the present time will
read like fables to the people of that
remote future.
