The Typical American.

The typical Americans have all been
western men, with the exception, let us
say, of Washington. Washington had
not had much Of European culture. The
qualities that made him a great COM
msnder and a great president were
qualities which would have made him
an equally great frontiersman. You
cannot imagine Hamilton or Madison
or Livingston or John Adams or the
Pinckneys living tolerably on the from
tier. They are not Americans In the
sense in which Clay and jackson and
Lincoln are Americans. We may wish
that the typical Americans Of the past
had had more knowledge, a more cult
waited appreciation of the value of what
was old and established, a juster view
Of foreign nations and foreign politics
that they had been more like Webster
and less like jackson, and we may hope
that the typical American OF the future
will be wiser and better poised. But in
the meantime the past is to be under
stood and estim ated as the facts stand,
and only a thoroughly sympathetic COM
prehension of these men, who have actu-
ally been the typical Americans, will
enable us to effect that purpose. The
fact that Clay rather than Webster,
Jackson and not John Quincy Adams,
represented the forces which were really
predominant and distinctively Amer
lean in u development is commentary
enough on any theory that makes either

My journalistic friend on The Beacon

A dignifed and elderly spinster who
sits at an editorial desk in town was
asked by the manager Of her paper the
other day If she knew Of any poor but
deserving person who would like a pair
Of his discarded trousers and replied
that her furnace man would doubtless
hail them with joy. Accordingly a
morning or two later she found on her
desk a brown paper labeled plainly,
"Old trousers for Miss VS. furnace
man." At night she carried the parcel
homo in her hands, together with an
other smaller package.
Sitting in the trolley car between a
couple Of gentlemen, she noticed that
n of them seemed to be much amused
about something in her lap.
What was her horror and disgust, on
looking down, to observe that she had
partly covered the larger parcel with the
smaller, c~oncealing the last part of the
inscription, so that 1t read in bold black
script, "Old trousers for Miss W"

Low the Lady. mis- ratient, Managed to
Keep IN Witn Hsr Opium.
This story comes from ono Of our best
known physicians. For reasons that arc
obvious the proper name Of the woman
is withheld.
"sho Is a ~divorcee, " the physician
said, and IL quite well known In soci-
ETY.. She is good looking, clever and
rich, but for a long timo was addicted
to the use Of opium. The habit grew
30 strong that her relatives advised her
to go to some %sanitarium for treatment.
For a long timo she refused to do this,
but when they threatened to have her
confined in some asylum she yielded
and came to our retreat.
"She brought a narse with her-a
clever, bright faced girl-whom she
paid $50 a week to wait on her. We
were all greatly surprised as the days
went by 10 note that she did not seem
to DO at all depressed, as most people
are during the fret few weeks of abb
stinonee from the drug. She seemed as
bright and as cheerful as on the first
day. l said to her once;

opium
"'No,' she said, with a smile. 1t

thought It did
"One day, after sho had been there
over a month, we discovered by mere
accident what kept her so cheerful. One
Of our attendants caught her in the act
Of taking opium. When we asked her
where she had obtained the drug, she
refused at first to tell. After a little
urging, however, sho told us that she
had brought a lot Of opium with her.
"The matron searched her room, and
when she came to the Office TO report
she was almost speechless with amaze-
ment. The woman had hidden little
packages Of opium in every conceivable
part Of all her dresses. There was
opium in the sleeves. I'm the %ruffles, in
the lace In the lining and in every
pocket. There was opium sewed inside
her carriers and in her undergarments.
She even had opium in the papers which
she used to curl her hair.
1T was her maids duty, we learned,
to administer this opium to her in such
a way that we would not detect it.
The young girl always curled kss mis-
tress' hair and took care not to spill
any Of the drug in the curl papers.
The maid was promptly cent homo.

clothing and was supplied with new
dresses and placed In another room.

The sultan of Turkey has issued an
imperial decree to the effect that three
copies of every book and pamphlet on
any subject whatsoever that has been
printed or published in any language in
any part of his dominion, from the time
he assembled the throne to the present
day, are TO be sent to the imperial palace
and one copy to the new library at the
Sublime Porte, which is now being built
by his majesty's orders.
1t is stated in well informed circles
that his majesty has three objects in
view. First, it is an economic way OF
furnishing two libraries. The second is
that II will encourage native authors
(whose lot under the circumstances can
hardly be regarded as a happy one) in
writing and publishing new works, and
the third and most important object of
all is that his majesty's specially EN-
ployed censors and secretaries will be

The Chinese Minister at Washington Weeps
and walls over = Gas Bill.
The Chinese legation has always been
an object Of curiosity In Washington,
and the mysterious goings on in the IA
nous old Stewart castle, which tho Ce-
lestials used to inhabit, were a never
failing sourceo of wonder and speculation.
Now that the Legation has a magnificent
triple house for its home out on the
heights the interest ia the inhabitants is
still further increased. The Chinese min
lister 10 new TO Washington, and his ig-
ran Of some Of its ways was the
cause of a very peculiar complication the
other day.
The monthly bills Of the Washington
Gas Light company are printed on paper
Of a peculiarly dirty yellow tint, which
happens to be the exact hue Of the Chi
nese emblems Of mourning. The long
strips are left regularly at the doors of
all houses in the city and at the Chinese
legation among the rest. The other day
one was left for the first time at the new
home Of the legation, which is filed with
new Chinese servants. The gas bill strip
was left in the vestibule, and being car
rid TO the new minister profoundly af-
sscted him. It was evidently intended,
he thought. as a notification Of some
body's death, and as it was left at the
legation door it doubtless indicated the
bereavement Of some family high in Off
cial life.
The minister at once gave orders to
close the house. The usual instruments
Of mourning were brought out, the shut
tiers were drawn, and passersby for the
remainder Of the evening were rega' |
with q combination Of curious noises
such as the Chinese only know how to
utter when engaged in bewsil!ng the
dead, and the minister retired with the
satisfaction of knowing that he had per-
formed a diplomatic courtesy.-Cor Bos-

A Hunter Ran n Fox Into = Cave, and Sub.
sequsnt Proceedings Were Startling.
Three prominent residents Of Bing-
hamton, N. Y, INDUCED in q fox hunt
recently. As they were returning home
the hounds struck the trail Of a fox.
They followed It and came upon their
hounds barking under a ledge Of rocks
on the western slope Of the old Baker
farm. One Of them felt around the
lodges for any other hole by which the
fox could escape, using a small crow
bar. He climbed to the top Of the ledge
of rocks, striking all around with his
bar.
Suddenly it slipped through his fingers
and went down a small assure. In en-
~deavoring to get it out he lighted match
and dropped it into the issure. A flash
and sudden explosion occurred. A jet

surrounu tree tops and illuminated
the surro ling country. About 100
feet below the place where the well was
burning they discovered a flow of oil is
suing from a %crevice. The stream was
large enough to fill a two inch pipe. The
village is in excitement over the find, and
prospectors are focking there in num-
bers. The crowbar was found again and
bore unmistakable signs Of the third

Some magnificent logs of spruce and
yellow pine, which have made their way
down from the sources Of the Delaware
to the Kensington mills, are now float
ing in the Aramingo canal just below
tho Girard avenue bridge. Excellent
material for tall masts and lagpoles and
huge beams over 20 feet long and 2 feet
square ON the end are noticeable among
the mass Of floating timber. Contrary
TO the popular belief, timber is best pre-
served when submerged in water, and
what appears TO be a mass Of refuse clog
ging portions Of the canal is in reality
valuable lumber stored there for reasons
of economy Such economy can be over
done, however. and many a noble piece
of timber, which has become water
logged during a long period of time, now
lies along the bottom Of the canal
