in art in way Pennsylvania will always
appreciate. The Drexel Institute Of In

at about $2,0O0.0OO. The impress which
such an institute must make upon techni-

The doctor who attended Samuel j.
Tilden in The autumn Of life has just re-
covered his fees. minus fully two-thirds of
his claim. He gave up general practice
and attended to Samuel alone, and when
the patient needed him no more he pre-

1921 days. This is by no means an exorbi-
tant charge for a man of pr0fe 'siOnal
eminence. Perhaps the patient would not
have objected to the total but the medi-

The new English dictionary which is
being issued on the other side OF tho At
lantic under the editorship of DR.. Murray
and was commenced in 1879, has only
reached the completion of four letters of
the alphabet. but that means one-fourth of
the work. This seems to indicate dellD-
crate linguistic design to make all the use
possible OF few letters before trying
others. The letter C, according to Dr..
Murray, begins more words than nine
other letters, or more than third OF the
alphabet. If the dictionary is finished by
the end of the century it will be good
work, and then it will be time to commence
another to accommodate the ever expand

A club in London recently debated the
question why women should marry. The
lady who opened the argument thought it
unsafe to marry unless a woman finds a
perfect man, but she did not define that

could go in search. She was, however.
answered by Mrs. Sheldon Amos. who said
that an ordinary woman welded to per-
feet man would be in a very trying posi-
ton. The practice of spelling husbands
by the "lunacy of love" Ia variation OF
Beatty's "linnet's lay of love') was strongly
condemned, but at last some one came to
the rescue with the altrustic reason that
women should marry ''for the sake OF the
men," poor things!

road TO connect North and South America,
for which surveys have been made be-
tween Mexico and Bolivia, 1000 miles. the
engineer in charge is reported to have de-
clared that IN Colombia the line passes
through miles of country where the gold
and silver ores are so rich that the p0r-
tons exposed would pay for the work in
that section. There must be much more
outside the railroad lines. but it is proper
TO accept even railroad engineers facts

The Infanta Eulalia sends back from
Spain joyful message of congratulation
that she has visited the United States and
made the acquaintance of the American peo-
pie. She has reason to be proud of the recep-
ton. too. Poor Veragua is also proud OF
his visit, but has a dismal prospect on his
return. He is threatened with poverty,
and in Chicago they are collecting a sub
scription for him. If the raising of bulls
for the Spanish arena is not a profitable
business, the glory Of Spain has departed.
