people propose to make the transportation
rate pretty stiff one, and thus hope
10 financially save themselves. They THINK
that with special trains at their disposal,
and a spot selected for the fight known
only to a faithful few, they can bring the
men together i'm the presence of large
crowd. and that the battle will be fought
and won before Governor Mitchell can get
the militia on the scene.
Governor Mitchell, however. is what IS
known in the lingo" Of the Cracker"
as "bull-headed." and as he has already
trippcd up the club he may succeed in
doing 50 again. IL is said that Brady IN
his dispatches TO the papers mentioned.
stated positively that everything was fix
ed for the fight, and that the men would
come together unless the Engllsnman snow

his party seem 10 have doubts about the
sincerity Of Mitchell.
The State Teachers Association I'm scs-
sion at Gainesville Fla. composed Of
800 teachers. to-day passed resolutions
denouncing the proposed fight between
Mitchell and corbett as brutal and de-
grading. commencing the opposition Of
the Governor and urging him TO save
the honor Of the State by seeing that
the men do not meet on Florida soil.

UNCLE SANS NEW LIBRARY,

The Most Perfect Structure of Its Kind Ia
the World.
No such library as this new one of
Uncle Sans was ever planned before.
You must imagine. to begin with, two
iron bookcases, each 65 feet high, 1l2
feet long and As feet wide. They tower
up through the building story on story
in nine tiers, Each bookcase will hold
800, 900 volumes. The metal framework
is made gridiron fashion to permit the
free passage of the atmosphere, for
books need fresh air as much as human
beings, else they rot. The floors are
sheets of iron. and fire could do no dam
age worth mentioning, for books will
not burn. They will only smolder under
favorable circumstances.
The library has l, 800 windows.
Those which admit light to the great
book stask S above described are single
sheets of fine plate glass. Looking from
the interior courtyards, the walls in
closing the book stacks appear to be al
most wholly Of glass. Thus the title on
the back Of every volume may be easily
read. The shelves already provided will
accommodate /, 500, 600 books-twice as
many as are now in the library.
The building has been SO constructed
as to afford space for other stacks, which
may be put up at any time, and will
hold 2, 700. 900 volumes rlora. : mil
lion books In addition lay % C
modated in the courtyard, and there is
room for more besides. TIE LIBRARIAN Of

himself cramped in the least. Wash.

four horses and two men to draw loads
1t has already been demonstrated that
the same loads could be carried with
Two horses and one driver. Where ID
formerly required four horses to take 81
baskets of potatoes to market, since the
stone roads have been built there IS a
demand for Wagons in which 126 bas-
kets can be carted and with only two
horses" The stone roads in New Jer-

PUNISHED FOR CURIOSITY.

A Learned Chinese Doctor Pays Dearly For
Little Innocent Sightseeing.
1t is dangerous to crafty curiosity or
to violate precedent at the Chinese i'm
perial court. The empress dowager is a
great stickler for etiquette. Recently
she required the services Of DR.. Ii Te-
chang, vice president of the Imperial
Academy of Physicians, at Picking, for
one Of the members of her suit at Eho
Park palace. The learned doctor had
never been inside these famous palace
grounds, and his curiosity was fired to
see the many curious objects Of which
he had heard wonderful tales. So he
bribed a palace eunueh to show him
around the grounds.
While the two were leisurely walking
about and enjoying themselves the an
press spied them. She at once dis
patched servants to punish their efron-
terry. The eunuoh was seized, thrown
on his face and accommodated with 30
blows with the bamboo on the calves of
his fat legs. The doctor was docked
three months pay and received a severe
reprimand, while his assistant was or
dered never to venture again into the
empress presence.
The affair created d sensation because
Of the high position Of the physician
and of the humiliating punishment
dealt out to him.-New York Sun.

Size of Stone For Road Metal.

The custom of using gravel and stone
of all sizes except the right size defeats
the purpose for which a covering is in
tended. No gravel as large as a hens
egg should ever be put on a road. It
should be screened, and if the larger
stones are used they should be crushed.
No stone should be used larger than two
inches in its larest measurement. Large
gravel stones will eve pack. They
work to the surface, make the road dan-
gerous to horses and help to destroy the
surface. The same rule applies to broken
stone. Macadam's rule, IF you put a
stone on the road that you can put into
your mouth, I won'tpay you a shilling"
is still sound. The small stones soon
form a compact, solid mass. # laid
upon a we'll made foundation, they will
wear as long as the solid stone. FIX
