Mrs. Tyndall's Devotion.

(From an article on Tyndall, by Herbert
Spencer, In McClure's Magazine for
March,
In his case, however, the penal
ties of invalid life had great miti-
gations-mitigations such as fall
to the lot OF but few. 1t is con-
ceivable that the physical discom-
forts and mental WEAKNESS which
ill-health brings, may be almost
compensated, If not even quite
compensated, by the pleasurable
emotions caused by unflagging at
tentions and sympathetic compan-
ionship. If this ever happens, it
happened in his [TyndalPsl case.
All who have known the house

nursing are aware of the I'M
measured kindness he has received
without ceasing. / happened to
have had special evidence OF this
devotion on the one side and graft

think l am called upon to keep to
myself, but rather to do the con-
trary. In a letter received from
him some half dozen years ago, re-
ferring, among other things, to
Mrs. Tyndall's self-sacriticing care
of him, he wrote: "She has raised
my ideal of the possibilities of HUI

4 Vessel with q Histnrx.

The United States coast survey
steamer Hassler, now anchored in the
harbor of Tacoma for tho winter, is
vessel with history. She was built
for surveying the route from Panama
to San Francisco, and Professor Louis
Agassiz, with number of scientific
companions, was allowed by the gov
eminent to take passage en- the vessel
and make observations and collections
during her voyage around Cape Horn
to the Pacific coast. She left Boston on
her maiden trip in December, 1871, and
arrived at San Francisco the next Au-
gust. The geological collections made
at that time were large and added much
to the knowledge of scientists. -Tacoma

THE PASSING OF THE JUSTICES.
Their Trip From Thor Robing Apart

Their Trip From Their Robing Apart
ment to tho Courtroom.
Another innovation has made its ap-
pearance at the capitol. 1t is worth
while to make trip to the building
| just before 10 o'clock every day to wit
! ness it.
The room in which the supreme court
| justices adOTn themselves with their
flowing silk robes is across the hall
from the chamber in which the court
meets. Hitherto few moments before
noon the door of the attiring room
would open, and forthwith would
emerge the solemn justices. On one
side of the corridOr-whiCh, by the
way, is the main passageway through
the capitOl-would stand court Off
cial and another man would be sta
toned on the opposite side. Between
this guard the justices would walk and
moment later would disappear behind
the heavy q " of tho entrance to the
private corridor to the bench. But this
simple and modest method has been
relegated to the past. 1t is different
now.
When the justices are now ready to
leave their attiring apartment, four
court messengers appear. They bear
two pieces of plush covered rope. A
man stands IN each side of the two
doors, and across the corridor they
stretch their plush covered barrier.
Through the avenue thus formed the
liant plush covering cleaning like

A BOLD ROBBERY.
Three Youngsters Rob the Carr
Residence of Valuables.

Residence of Valuables.
Yesterday evening, about 3
o'clock, while Mr.. and Mrs. J. N.
Carr, who live at 1910 Main avenue,
were out driving, three boys, aged
about sixteen years, were seen
lettering about the premises.
Shortly after that one of them
went in and rang the door
bell. Finding no one home, they
went up stairs through back
staircase, and entered the room of
Mrs. Carr. Here they found and
carried away with them a purse
containing $73. There were several
articles of jewelry lying on the
dresser, and they were also stolen.
The jewelry is valued at $40.
The city detectives were notified
of the bold intrusion and robbery,
and are today at work on the case.
The boys can be identified if again
seen, and there Is every reason to
believe that they will be caught.

Brentwood, the chosen lakeside
home of John Ruskin during the
last quarter century Of his life, Oc-
cupies one of the most favored spots

border line of Lancashire and Cum

looks the smallest of the waters in
that "lake country" with which the
names of Wordsworth, Southey,
Coleridge, Lamb, Lloyd and Will

Set in the background Of half
encircling wood Of exquisite grace
and mystic beauty, as seen in the
green half-light OF its tranquil
shade, Brentwood is protected from
the east winds by the open, rising
moorland that stretches far to the

DriIl in Schools and Colleges,

Ex-President Harrison writes an open letter
in the January Century on the subject of mill
tary instruction in schools and colleges, as sug-
gested recently in series of resolutions passed
by Lafayette Post, GAR, OF New York. He
says:
Il very well remember how hard it was for
me TO learn which was the right of the COM
pany, and to understand why it continued to be
the right when the right about had made it the
left; and how We had in 1862, to send to a dis
tant city to fud a drillmaster competent to
instruct the company officers not one of whom
could go through the manual of arms; and
how the regiment, after a few half.learned
lessons in the company drill, was sent to the
seat of war with guns which they had never
loaded or fired. Fortunately. the men had
the American adaptability and quickness. and
our adversary only little better prepara-
tion.

MOney-making In America.

,ry few men nowadays make large sums oi
money, undless they have money to begin with,
ami after the representative man, Or even the
superior man, has answered the bread and bu t.
ter question he is commonly at the bottom of
his purse. Money making is not high talent,
but It Is very rare one, even in this thriving
democracy, supposed in Europe to be chiefly
populated by money-makers. instead of by mere
workers for bread and butter, which we on the
strain are indubitably more capable of making
money than the people of any other nation,
because they are more intelligent more devel-
oped. more practical, are better educated and
require more conveniences and redundancies.
Bat all their capacity is, as rule. needed to
insure them what they consider a comfortable
livelihood. though Europeans would think
it luxurious, indeed it is If these could
turn their labor to any such profit they would
put by considerable part of it regularly. and
SO furnish the groundwork of q competency.
Americans however, are not often so thrifty,
or so provident of the future, because. perhaps,
they are too con nfident of inner resources and
of ample opportunities.
A common saying in the Republic is. "Any-
body can get living" but it is disproved by
the patent fact that great many of us do not
get living, and are not able to, try as we may.
What very large proportion of us are always

the figure of Liberty, although Architect Scho-

correct in position, and faultess as to its pro-

The left hand of this figure rests upon a

is Of black granite, and the capital of the col

which is 40 feet square and 20 feet high. On
the four walls Of this room are the names of
10000 men enlisted from Cuyahoga County dur

are told upon its walls.
The main shaft is surrounded by four panels

MAKING CITIZENS.
How the Allen of Short Residence and No
knowledge OF America Becomes a Voter.

Here is the way New York City politicians
prepared for the election which occurred there
in November, as related by prominent citizen
in one of the New York papers: 81 went into
Judge Gilderseeve's room this afternoon at 3
o'clock to look at the ization force. 1t was
exactly three when. / entered, and a man was
being naturalized. He got his papers, and so
did two others who followed him, in short
order. These three men were naturalized by
Judge Gildersleeve in minute. That is
Mt rate of $50 new citizens an hour, and seems
sort of strange to me. 1t beats the Chicago
divorce record, believe, and / don't under
stand ii.
'After these three men had been made citi-
zens Judge Gildersleeve called another alien
and asked him what was the Capital of the
United States? He instantly replied 'Pbila-
delphia.' Then the Judge inquired what the
capital Of New York was. but the fellow made
no reply"
spoke to the Judge about this, and he said
the applicant knew what the capitals were,
only he couldn't understand the language. 1t
seemed sort of odd to me that an alien who
can't understand our tongue should have as
much voice in Government as you or ].
In a number of other cases the Judge did not
ask the applicants single question. contenting
himself with nquiring of the witnesses how
long they had known the applicants.

that the boys should be instructed in the defense
