Mr.. Gladstone,s Library.

Mr.. Gladstone's study at Hawarden Cas-
tie is rather curiously arranged. The walls
are covered with books, and volumes arc
also massed in large shelves iutting oat
from the walls into the room. Between
each partition of books there is room to
walk thus the saving of space in arrang-
ing the library in this manner is enormous.
The stock of books, perhaps, exceeds 1900
volumes, and Notwithstanding this large
number Mr.. Gladstone has little difficulty
in placing his hand upon any volume that
he may require. There are three writing
desks in the room; one is chiefly reserved
for correspondence of a political nature, and
another is used by Mrs Gladstone Look
ing out of the study window the flower beds
facing the castle present picturesque ap-
pearance, while the heavily wooded grounds
beyond stand out in bold relief and form a
massive green background.

A TENNESSEE MYSTERY.
How a Moonshine Still Was Dis
covered and Destroyed.
Its smokestsck Was Thought for Some
Time to he q Smoking Tree-An
Adroitly Concealed Retreat
of Law Breakers

The discovery of a smoking tree" in
the mountain wilds near the Big Butte.
about twenty miles southeast of this
place, led to the disclosure of one of
the most perfectly concealed wildcat"
distilleries known to the oldest man in
the revenue service.
The tree was found one night not
long ago, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, by a party of young men
while out hunting, and the report of
the phenomena caused great excite
ment. A party was being organized to
visit the arboreal wonder, but it was
abandoned by second report, pur-
porting to come from one of the orig
inal finders, that the whole story was
a fake. The sensation soon died out,
but not until it had reached the ears of
revenue marshal, who saw in it a
clew, and went over in that region at
once. He was surprised, however, to
find, on reaching the locality of such
great excitement a few days before,
that he could learn nothing of the
whereabouts of the tree. Most of the
mountaineers told him that they had
never heard of it before, while others
laughed and said it was only hoax.
This confirmed his opinion that there
was something Illicit at the bottom of
the smoking tree" but, after spend
ing two days in futile search for in
formation, he was compelled to return
without even finding one of the young
men who started the report.
He still kept up his efforts on the sly,
however, and was rewarded recently
by finding young man who agreed to
to show him the tree for certain re-
enumeration. Negotiations were en-
tered into at once, and the day follow
ing the persistent officer had the plea
sure of destroying the best hid still he
had ever seen.
It was located near a mountain road,
in cave which was at least three hun
dred yards in length and ran like
tunnel from one side of a small noun
tain almost through to the other. The
entrance was small, and was almost
entirely concealed by the bushy, top Of
. tree which had been felled directly
over it. Once inside, the officers found
. great tunnel-like cavern, the ceiling
Of which was thirty feet high In some
places. In the blind end of this irregu-
lar grotto was well-equipped still Of
good capacity; the mash tubs, fake
stands and barrels were all convenient
ly arranged. There was small stream
running across the cave about twenty
feet from the still. from which water
was obtained by dipping It up with
bucket. But the most remarkable
feature Of this UNDERGROUND distillsru

Cactus Club of Baltimore.
The Cactus club, of Baltimore, is a
unique organization. 1t is composed
of men and women who unite in COM
pany solely for the purpose of study
ing cacti. They have found much of
interest in these curious desert plants,
and their periodical exhibitions are
much esteemed by such as are invited
to be present. The cactus would seem
to be rather a dry growth to investi-
gate, but the club which bears its
name wholly refutes this superstition.
washing the Hands.
According to German physician,
the art of washing the hands is not an
easy one. To insure absolute cleanli-
ness the hands must be first carefully
washed with potash, soap and water,
and then with a 5-per-cent. solution Of
carbolic acid, or one per 1000 solutions
Of corrosive sublimate or chlorine
water. When the finger nails are dry
and break easily, vassline rubbed on
after washing the hands will do world
of good. Mapicures first battle tho
hand long time in hot water, then
with scissors and knives clean and cut
the nails, remove the superfluous skin
about the onyx, then polish the nails
with buckskin and fine powder, wash
ing the hand again in hot water with
soap After drying, the nails are pol
ished with fine brush and are finally
rubbed with a rosy unguent to give
them shell pink. /

-as one UunnIngIy-devlsed contrivanceI
for concealing the smoke. The noon
sinners had discovered that about thir-.
ty feet from the end of the cave In
which the still was located stood a.
dead chestnut tree, about three feet int
diameter at the butt and hollow to the
very top. This end of the cave had
probably at one time been open also,
but had been filled up by an enormous
earthslide from the top of the noun
tain. There was, therefore, nothing
except earth from the still inside to
the tree without, and these daring
men had actually dug a small tunnel
from the end Of the cave to the tree,
thus allowing the smoke to enter it's
hollow beneath the ground. There be-
ing no openings in the tree near the
earth, the smoke could not escape I'M

Giving the Brain a Chance.

Saving out sections of the skull In
order to give the brain room to develop
symmetrically seems a rather delicate
and dangerous operation, but it is one
that has on several occasions been per-
formed with perfect success. Children
apparently in a condition of hopeless
idiocy have been treated upon this
plan and are in prospect of developing
the faculties usual in those of like age.
The removal of the bone which has be-
come unduly hardened permits growth,
