Mrs. Burnett's Juveniles.

"All my life l have made stories,
and since I was 7 years old [ have
written them" says Mrs. Burnett in
the Brooklyn Times. This has been
my way of looking at life as it went
by me. Everyone has his own way
of looking at things. A man or
woman who is an artist probably sees
everything as picture. Sunset and
sunrise, country and town groups,
children playing, older people at
work, perhaps all form themselves
into pictures when an artist looks at
them.
I'm the same way it happens that
scenes, incidents,s and persons quite
naturally suggest to me the story
which may belong to them. / do not
know how many such stories pass
through my mind in day. Some Of
them merely fit through like birds
across the sky, and are forgotten, but
there are some that stay, or at least
leave traces And in thinking of
this once l found | could call out of
the shadows a number of children,
some of whom, though only seen for
a few moments, have remained quite
distinct memories to me and seem
like little friends ! like to think
about. There are so many of them,
of so many countries, speaking such
different languages, wearing such
different costumes, and each one of
them seeming to suggest story of
: his own. Sometimes it may be the
story of tiny newsboy in New York;
little fellow with sun-bleached hair
whom / find in the mountains of
North Carolina; poor little man
waiting in the mud an 1 drizzling r; in
in a crowded London rect and rush
ing to open my carriage door in the
hope of being given a few coppers; a
beautiful little soft-eyed, curly-headed
beggar in Rome, lingering in the sun
until | drive out of the courtyard of
my hotel, that he may run after me,
laughing as he cried out, aSoldi, sig
nori!" quite sure that be is so pretty
and coaxing that he needs not pre-

India Rubber "PavIny Stones

New ideas in paving have lately attract
ed attention. Among these is the paw
ing of bridge by German engineer
with india rubber, the result having
been SO satisfactory as to induce it's ap
plication on much larger scale, point
in it's favor being that it Is much more
durable than asphalt and not slippery.
In London section of roadway under
the gate leading to the departure plat
form of the st. Pancras terminus has for
some time past been paved with this
material, with the effect of deadening
the sound made when being passed over
on wheels, besides the elasticity afforded
to foot passengers. Another material
which is being satisfactorily introduced
for this purpose is composed of gran
ulated cork and bitumen pressed into
blocks and which are laid like bricks or
wood paving, the special advantage Sc
cured in this case being that of elasticity.
A YOUNG Australian traveller claims to
have discovered that the waltz was the
creation of neither a German nor a
Swiss, but of the ostriches of Africa.

Her Choice.

Rose has been brought up in the
midst of theological debate in a min
listers family. She is only six years
old, but she listens very carefully.
Her mother was obliged to punish
her one day, and after the punish
ment the following little dialogue
took place:
"Rose, which would you rather be,
pretty and bad, or homely and good?"
Rose deliberated. I'D rather be
pretty and bad" she answered.
why, Rose, what makes you talk
like that?"
"'Cause, If I'm pretty and bad,
can repent!"

Christmas eve, 1901, it drew a car
with the first load of passengers ever
moved by steam on railway. See
ing that Mr.. Treyethick, the engin-
eer, had succeeded, Mr.. Hedley of the
Wylam colliery, went to work to util-
ize and improve the method. In 1881
he turned out the two locomotives.
Putting Billy, so called from the
noise made by it's two-blast pipes,
long since went the way of old iron,
but the Wylam billy is so far pre-
served that it can be reproduced for
Chicago.

CURIOS FOR THE FAIR.

A Railroad Engine of 1882 to Be Exhibited

Among the curiosities to be exhib-

station, engine-house and engine
built on the Leicester & Swanrington
Railway in 1882, by Robert Stephen
son, which are still in use, but
the first engines, so far as can be
proved, to be operated on the rails
were the Trevethick, the Wylam

THE war against the hoopskirt will
now be fiercer than ever. The Prin-
cess of Wales has been replenishing
her wardrobe preparatory to a Med
iterranean cruise. Among the sam
Piles sent her by her tailors from

line skirt of ample proportions and
SO stiffened with horse hair lining as

istantly rebelled against the garment
and ordered it returned. John

A Recent Discovery Explains an Ancient

The existence of a maze or LADY,

by the legend of Theseus Staying the

Ariadne, who gave him thread to
pay out behind him as a clew, in pen

fact that old coins of Crete exhibited

example by turning over to the de-

came known it was evident that they
had received stolen goods, and they
voluntarily made restitution.

COMMANDER WEIssERT Of the Grand
Army of the Republic speaks brave
and loyal words when he says that
the comrades are as anxious to purge
the pension rolls of fraud and i'm
posters as anybody can be. 1t is well
to give voice to that sound sentiment
just now, but the warning that all
old soldiers and pensioners are not
to be classed as frauds and imposters
is quite unnecessary; nobody is dis
posed to do that. Yet when Com
mander Weissert calls on all com
rades to promptly inform the Com
missioner of Pensions of any fraud
or imposter who is drawing pension,
he asks what is impracticable. The
public does not know and cant find
out who are drawing pensions; there
is so much secrecy about what should
be an open roll of honor that com
rades cannot carry out this first-class
suggestion of their commander.

IT WAS unquestionably the intent
of the Sherman law, in fixing the
quantity of silver to be purchased
monthly at 800, 900 ounces, to take
up into our coinage the full product
of American silver, which at that
time was estimated at 81, 600, 900
ounces annually. Suppose Secretary
Foster had applied that idea and SO
interpreted the law as to absorb all
the American product, and not let a
lot of it go begging to London for a
purchaser, does any one doubt that
the silver question would by this time
have been easily settled, and settled
right? The greatest foes of Amer
lean silver are the so-called states
