A Palatial Church.

The erection of the magnificent csno-
py over the high altar of Our Lady in
the shrine of Guadalupe has been COM
pleted. The pillars to support it are
each of a solid block of polished Scotch
granite weighing seven tons. The di-
ameter of each pillar is 3 feet and the
height 90 feet. The altar will be ready
for dedication on Dec. IL Guadalupe
day. and will be the most elaborate and
costly one in America. The additions
to the church edifice will not be COM
pleted for nearly two years at the pres
ent rate of progress. When finished, the
shrine Of the Lady of Guadalupe will
be one of the notable Catholic church
ediices of tie world. The solid silver
altar railing weighs 26 tons, and many
millions of dollars are i'll other ways
represented in the palatial place of
worship. City of Mexico Letter.

A Soft Thing In the Crab Line.

Just think of a soft shell crab weigh
ing "a ounces and measuring 211a
inches from tip to tip of the extended
claws. Such a crab was received by Mr..
S. R. Scoggins yesterday, with two
crates of other soft crabs, shipped from
Deals island, Maryland, by Mr.. W. J.
Webster.
In a letter which accompanied the
shipment Mr.. Webster wrote that it
was the largest soft shell crab he lad
ever seen or heard of. Nh. Scoggins,
who has been in the fish business over
SO years, said he had never seen one
which even approached i'll size this
giant soft crab. He sent the crab by ex-
press to the Smithsonian institute at
Washington for permanent preservation.
TIL soft shell crab varies in size from
two inches to the size of the gaint crab
sent to Mr. Scoggins. The count"
crab, which is considered full size,
8 inches from tip to tip, is
81 inches long on the shell and ~
inches across the ack.-Baltimore Sun.

A Buttermilk Well.

Did you ever see a buttermilk we'll?
I mean a well that yields buttermilk.
No, there are no buttermilk wells
about here that I know of, but I saw
one out in northern Indiana once. 1t
was connected with a creamery. There
is no market for buttermilk there, and
the inhabitants of the town, who can
get all the buttermilk they want for
nothing by simply going after it, never
touch it. AS fast as the great revolving
churns have precipitated their wealth of
golden butter the milky residuum is
run off into the troughs that lead to the
buttermilk well. From thence it is
pumped up to feed hogs, being distrib-
uted by a system of troughs among the
pens. These hogs are merely kept to
utilize the buttermilk, which would
otherwise go to waste, and the fairness
of these animals SO fed defes words.
Very little else is given them. Butter
milk pork is said to be superior, espe-
cially when supplemented with corn.

Washington's "Finest."

Hero and there in the halls and cor
ridors of the capitol the sturdy guard
ians of the public peace, clad in immac-
ulate uniforms sit, silent and Indifferent,
Illuminating, to judge from the slow and
regular action of their jaws, upon the
destinies of the nation, though caring
for none of these things. Fine speci-
mems most Of them are, too-broad
s~houldered, healthy skinned, fair, quiet
men, whose solid nerves nothing could
surprise, whose firm but gentle masti-
cation no political convulsion could re-
tard. They are of q very different type
from the burly New York policeman.
One can hardly believe that they are
really colleagues of the colored func-
tionary in similar blue cloth and brass
buttons, who stands in all his glory at
the corner of Pennsylvania avenue, mon
arch of all he surveys, whose slightest
gesture could stop eve a cable car and
whose lofty stature and speckless clothes
call forth the admiration of the colored
nursery maid and a impose good be-
hayior even upon fair haired little boys
and make the soggy faced, blue eyed
''toughs'' look a little less as though
they had bought the pavement for their
own convenience and would refuse to
let it v at a high price. Marion

Fertilizinr With Sugar.

There is a diversity of opinion as to the
land most suited to the cultivation of
melons. Sandy, light soil, very highly
fertilized with phosphate and with salt,
will produce an abundant crop of large,
fine melons, but there are many plant
ers who affirm that they should be
planted on a good quality of soil with
out fertilizers of any kind, as the artifi-
cial ingredients contained in the ferti-
lizers detract from the native sweetness
of the fruit. They also claim that the
highly fertilized vines bear all their
fruit about the same time, making a
short season, while vines planted i'll IN
fertilized soil will bear gradually one
melon after another, affording fresh
fruit for a long period, eve until it is
SO late in October that the first frosts
have killed the vines. An old planter
of ancient days, fond of experimenting,
fertilized the soil in which he planted
his melon seeds with quantities Of sug-
ar, producing q most satisfactory result,
the melons being of unusual size and
sweetness. That was done in days when
expense was 10 object.-South Carolina

On a Water Cycle.

The attempt to cross the English
channel on a water cycle has apparently
been abandoned for the season by the
Frenchman who tried it and failed early
in August, says a London paper. It is
not unlikely, however, that the feat
will be attempted by Robert Brown,
sculptor, of Newport, Wales, who on
Wednesday crossed the Bristol channel
from Newport to Weston, a distance by
steamer route of IA miles, but Brown,
owing to the tide and other causes,
actually travelled 81 miles. The time
was 81 hours. He finished in good con-
dition. Browns cycle consists of two
cigar shaped tubes, each II feet long,
lying parallel and three feet apart.
They are filed with compressed air. In
the center space is a platform and seat
for a driver. Two paddle wheels, one
on the outside of each tube, are propell-
ed by the ordinary cycle pedals and
chain gearing. The steering gear con-
sists of two rudders, which seem the
weakest part of the machine and would
probably come to grief in rough water.

GOLD IN ALASKA.

Latest Reports of Finds Seem Very Entic-
ing, but New York Still Suits One Editor.
The very latest reports of new gold
finds come to US from the Yukon region,
Alaska, and the treasury at Washington
has received adyices that an amount OF
the precious metal valued at 500, 900
has been brought to Unalaska for ship
ment. Three months ago we had en-
couraging reports from the gold placer
mines on the Yukon, and both the Ju-
neau Journal and the Sitka Herald told
of men there who had got piles that
were worth getting. An Alaskan from
whom we heard in May last declared
that over 1, ZOO men were then search
ing for the stuff; that the excitement
was spreading, and that there would
certainly be a big rush to the Yukon
country if it were not for the obstacles
to travel and transportation.
If the amount of gold in Alaska bears
any appreciable proportion to the
amount of ice, there will be no trouble
about getting people to go there. 1t is
alleged that the white population of the
purchase at this time numbers nearly
10, 900. We are satisfied that Alaska
has been undervalued. 1t has extensive
fisheries, canneries and salteries, it has
larger areas of arabic land than anybody
knew of before the publication of Maj
Powell's report this year, thas vast I'D
valuable forests, and it has mineral re-
sources. Though a great part of its ter
ritory in un%inhabitable, it is worth the
price we paid for it. 1t was an Alaskan
editor who once said that when Alaska
becomes a state of the American Union
it will be the Shining star of the Arc
tic ocean,
We cannot at this time, however, adj
wise people to leave New York to settle
there.-New York Sun.

Driving Across the Country.

State Senator Eugene Ives of New
York, the author of the Ives pool bill,
is emulating Novelist Blacks ''Strange
Adventures of a Phaeton" by driving
across the country in a surrey. Mr..
Ives started on this trip from his home
ON the Hudson, 80 miles above New
York, on Aug. 2, driving a span of high
bred roadsters and accompanied by his
wife and their l5-months-old baby.
Travelling at an average rate of 40 miles
a day, Mr.. Ives and his companions COW
cred the distance as far as York, Pa,
over the battlefield of Gettysburg, along
the Shenandoah valley, across the
mountains and into Virginia without
going a mile by rail. He will drive
home the same way he came. His only
guide is an ordinary map of the United
States, supplemented by a bicycle guide.

HER LITTLE FLOWER.
And She Sank TO Rest Clutching the Tiny
Treasure to Her Breast.

Treasure to Her Breast.
She found the tiny, tender plant
when first it showed its trembling head
above TIE travel worn slabs of granite
that paved the narrow alleyway which
was her only playground. She gave a
cry of delight when she saw the deli
cate shoot peeping ont from between
the cold gray stones, and from that mo-
ment it filed a part of her life that
heretofore had been empty. She nour-
ished it with water and jealousy guard
ed it from the onslaught of roaming
boys and the too neal approach of cart
wheels that came crunching through
the alley, and often did her violet eyes
tremble with suppressed tears as she
saw the ponderous wheels rolling SO
close to her treasure.
Under her care and watchful atten-
ton it steadily grew, and when delicate
leaves unfolded themselves and disclos-
ed to her delighted eyes a blossom of
sweetness her happiness was complete,
and she sank beside it and Toasted her
vision ON loneliness she had never seen
before.
One day she did not come at her
usual hour to moisten the thirsty plant,
and it would doubtless have persisted
but for a gentle shower that came to
kiss the dropping head The next day
she did not come, and the lonely plant
got its only help from the leaking of a
passing water cart. Far up in one of the
narrow rooms she lay on a little cot
painting for breath. Her once rosy
cheeks were O pale and white, and
the soft blue eyes shone with a spar
king glow. Her head tossed restlessly
from side to side, and means of pain
crept from the drawn lips.
Occasional words broke from her, but
Of such an incoherent nature that none
understood her until q boy anne softly
into the room and gazed at the suffering
face curiously. "She wants her flower"
he said as she mOaned again, and like q
flash he sped from the room, to return
i'll q few moments bearing an almost
withered plant in his hand. As he held
it alOft the lustrous eyes saw it, and two
tiny wasted hands arose from the cover
and were Outstretched to receive her
treasure. She lifted it to her lips and
rained kisses OH the dust covered bios
som, which seemed to answer her caress
in a CLEAN of returning freshness.
She sank to sleep, still clutching the
flower to her bosom, and awoke later
with u calm look of contentment cover
ing her features.
As the hours wore on she grew weak
er and weaker until, when the shafts of
mornings golden light first found their
way into the quiet room, they fell
aslant the cold, still form of a little
girl, at whose cheek nestled a faded and
withered flower, mingling itself in the
faint smile that fingered yet around the
perfect mO1th.-Atlanta Constitution.

THE LIBRARY TUNNEL.
1t Is to Be Used In Transferring the Nations
Loco, 00G Books to New Quarters.

1t Is to lie Used In Transferring the Nations
100000 Books to New Quarters.
1t is known to only a few that a tun-
mel is to be constructed from the crypt
of the capitol under the east park to
the vaults of the great building for the
congressional library, now in course Of
construction. The plans for the tunnel
have been completed, and work upon it
will soon be begun, that it may be fin
ished i'll season to be used for the trans
p%ortation Of the nearly ], 600, 900 books
and pamphlets which make up the vast
bulk of the library from the old room
to the new. 1t is probable that a tenn
porary railway will be laid in the tun-
mel, that cars may be employed to carry
a large quantity Of books at nee.
One of the most remarkable transfers
of the kind in the history of libraries
was that in Berlin some years ago,
when a regiment of soldiers were put
to the work, received their burdens and
marched and countermarched under per-
feet discipline, accomplishing in ashort
time the vast labor of removal.
1t is possible that when the new
building is occupied a pneumatic tube
may be laid through the tunnel, that
congressman may Immediately receive
books which they desire to consult with
out the trouble and loss of time which
would be ~entailed In going to the libra
ry in person CT awaiting a trip by a
messenger. 1t is not expected that the
work of removal will begin before, the
spring of 1S96.-Washington Cor. Pitts

RESCUED hER BABY.
d Mothers Wonderful Self Control Saves
the Life of Her Little Girl.

A little child rescued in a drowning
condition from the bottom Of a deep
well by her mother is the incident that
excited the residents of Green Lake last
week.
The :hrac children of John L. San
dell, who lives in a comfortable home
three-qharters of a mile east of the lake,
were playing in the yard a week ago
yesterday. All were girls, two of them
6 and 8 years old respectively, and tho
youngest a little tot not quite 2. Near
the house is IN Is foot well, with water
in it two feet deep, the entrance to
which was surrounded by a frail picket
fence. The children in their play pulled
and tugged at this railing until finally
it gave way, and before the older girls
could comprehend what had happened
their little sister, going too far, had
fallen into the well and was struggling
on the black surface of the water 16 feet
below.
The children at once called to their
mother, who was alone inside the house.
Mrs. Sandell, Mortified, ran to the curb,
but could see nothing but the yawning
cavern that held her child. She thought
of a ladder at the barn $50 feet away,
and without losing a seconds time she
brought it to the we'll, but it was only
10 feet long. She realized that desper-
ate chances had to be taken, for the
child had already lain in the water sew
eral seconds, and a few more meant that
it's life would be gone. She dropped the
ladder in al agony of fear lest the ends
should strike the baby dead. The in
slant it had settled in place she forced
herself through the narrow aperture at
the top, measured momentarily with
her eye the distance to the ladder
against. the wall six feet underneath
and dropped. By a chance that seemed
miraculous she caught it squarely, and,
balancing herself, Instantly descended
to the bottom Of the we'll. There she
found the child unconscious. 1t had
been in the water at least three minutes
and was almost dead.
Mrs. Sandell lifted the helpless in
FAINT and climbed to the top of the lad
der, at the same time calling to the
children above to run for help. While
they We're gone she repeatedly rolled the
babe upon her own body, forcing from
it the water it had swallowed until she
was gladdened with signs of returning
life.
1t was half an hour before the chill
dren returned, and when they came
back they brought Otto Aura, IN en-
ployee of the Fremont mill. He obtain
ed from a neighboring house another
ladder long enough to reach to the bot
tom of the well, and in a few minutes
had helped both mother and child to
safety above. - Seattle P~Ost-Intelli-

The Paris Anarchist Scare.

Persons who assume to know what
the French anarchists are doing-and I
have had proof of the commences of
their information within the past year
tell me they will seek to establish a
reign of terror in Paris i'll October. The
police are convinced that mischief more
serious than any yet attempted is brew
ing. The fact that these fears are so def
mite is the best assurance that they may
not be- realized, for the expected seldom
happens in France especially in such
matters.
There are no apprehensions among the
public. The anarchist scare would have
quite died down save for the fact that
there is a growing restlessness among
the Paris lower classes, due perhaps to
the periodical demand of the French
nature for excitement. 1t has been an
unusually quiet summer in the French
capital.-Paris Correspondent.

Climbing Higher.

A New York girl, Miss Lille J. Mar
tin, has gone to Germany to enter the
University of Gottingen as a student.
She is a Vassar graduate of the class of
1880 and has been a teacher, occupying
responsible positions since she left col
lege. To go abroad and perfect herself
in higher branches of science, to which
study she is specially devoted, she re-
signed the vice principalship of the
girls high school at San Francisco, a
position she has filed for several years.
She hopes to enter the department Of
experimental psychology.-New York
