In fact we feared St. Vitus dance, and are positive but for an invaluable remedy she would have had that terrible atiliction. We had employed physicians, but she received no benefit from them. The first of last August she weighed but D pounds, and although she has taken only three bottles of Nervine she now weighs l06 pounds; her nerF Fousness and symp- tons of St. Vitus dance are entirely gone she attends school regularly, and studies with com fort and ease.

LARGEST INTHE WORLD.
The New National Library VIII Hold
100000 Volumes.

The New National Library Will Hold
100000 Volumes.
In round numbers the national Ii
brary of the United States contains
100000 bound volumes and 100000
pamphlets, all of which are at present
crowded into room in the capitol-a
room which was full fifteen years ago.
Yet the accumulation has gone on I'M
til there is barely room to walk about
in the library itself, while a dozen
rooms elsewhere in the building are
filled with the overflow With the
need in plain sight it took congress
several years to make up it's mind to
erect library building, but finally in
April, 1886, it was decided to Go so.
A site was chosen on Capitol Hill,
directly east of the capitol itself, and
$55O,00O was appropriated for its pur-
chase. Forty or fifty buildings had to
be removed before excavations could
be made for the foundation. 1t took
2,TOO feet of fencing II feet high to
inclose the ground, and it was nearly
four years after the fence was built
before any part of the building was
visible over its top. There is great
deal of the library-470 feet long by
$40 feet wide. 1t covers 111,OOO
square feet Of ground and will be 40
feet in height from the ground to the
top of the dome when finished That
is, next to the capitol, it will be the
largest editicc in Washington and the
largest library building in the world.
When congress did decide to do the
work it was pleased to have it done
well. The utmost care was used in
securing a firm foundation, and the
best material has been put into the
superstructure. All the material is Of
home manufacture, except the white
enameled brick. When the contract
was made in 1855 no enameled brick
were made in this country-certainly
not in sufficient quantities. Several
states are represented in the construc-
ton of the library building. New
Hampshire and Maryland furnish the
granite; the structural iron work came
from Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
Indiana, the ordinary brick are made
within the District of Columbia, and
the floor thing comes from Massachu-
sets and Vermont. 1.-The new library
building" declares Mr.. Spofford, will
suffice for $50 years to come. When
it is finished it will hold 100000 vol
umeS-nearly so per cent more than
are now embraced in any library in
the world" In national libraries France
now leads the world. Hers contains a
full million more volumes than that of
Great Britain, the next largest. Ger
many is next in rank, and Russia is
fourth. The United States come next
in order.-Kate Fields Washington.

Portable for her father, mother and

is one of the mushrooms that grow in

father, mother and brothers should be

THE ORANG IN HIS NATIVE
HOME.
Scenes Witnessed in Borneo, Where
These Animals Are Most Plentiful.

Scenes Witnessed in Borneo, Where
These Animals Are Most Plentiful.
The great island of Borneo is the
home of the orang, and one of the
most noticeable features of the land
scape is the nests of the orang, which
are scattered about thickly among the
tall trees. From their number one
might get a greatly exaggerated i'm
preston of the plentifuln2SS of the spe-
cieS, unless it were understood how
and for what purpose these roosting
places were constructed. The apes are
greatly annoyed by flies, from which
they are able to protect the front part
of their bodies with their hands, but
they cannot keep The vicious insects
from biting them in the rear, and so
they gather a quantity Of leaves and
branches and make them into touches
to repose against among the boughs.
A protection Of this sort serves very
well for awhile, but presently it's ma
terial begins to decompose, and the de-
caying leaves attract the flies which the
Orang is so anxious to get rid of. Then
he is obliged to make another rest Of
fresh stuff, and SO he may require a
dozen of them in the course of the
year. 1naSmuch as he does not take
the trouble to remove the old ones
they remain to adOrn the tree top in
which he swings about. Orangs have Il
very curious method of fighting. In
their conflicts among themselves, Which
are frequent, their effort is always to
seize the fingers of their adversaries
and bite them.
1t is owing to this method of battle
that it is almost impossible to procure
q skin which does not lack some of the
fingers. If defending itself against a
man, the Orang will always attempt to
grasp the arms of his human opponent,
so as to chew off his fingers For this
purpose it's jaws are excellently adapt
ed, being enormously powerful and
equipped with huge incisors.
To protect itself from the rain, the
orang crooks it's arm over its head.
The hair on the orany's upper arm
points downward, while on the upper
arm it points upward, the apparent
purpose being to shed the lain like a
thatch when the attitude thus described
is assumed

REFUSE OF TIE MARBLE CUT
TER.
Fragments Which Used to De De-

mental Shapes.

Fragments Which Used to De De-
spised Now Made Into Many Orna-
mental Shapes.
AS a striking instance Of the modern
ingenuity that gathers up everything
that nothing be lost and turns it to
marble fragments into things Of beauty
is cited by the New York Tribune as
conspicuous. Formerly tons of chip
pings of the finest marble were thought
of no better use than to make roads
or marble dust. Now the little frag-
mentS are brought even from the far
famous QuarricS of Carrara-hOmc Of
the Sicilian anarchists-and are re-
united in Il solid mass to form house
hold ornaments, parts of buildings,
mantelS, monuments, etc. In large
brick structure in one of the small
cities on the Sound is the factory of the
company engaged in the marble mo-
sale business. AS one enters he sees
barrels full of marble of all colors, the
fragments being of various sizes, from
that of q pea to that Of an egg or
larger The smaller sizes are already
reduced enough to form the mosaic,
but the larger ones are crumbled by
powerful machines, then carefully
screened so as to get an even grade of
the size desired. The particles are then
mixed with q composition of cement
and other materials, and the mass is
nodded while soft into the desired
shapes. Lying about one sees various
molds for table tops, brackets, urns,
mantelS, cOrniceS, paper weights, etc.
When the mosaic has hardened it is
smOothed and polished like solid mar
bic and takes Il mirrOr-like finish. The
various colors of the marble are made
to appear to great advantage by con-
trast in some articles. For instance,
q checker board will be laid out in the
squares of red and black, alternating
on table top of gray marble. The
makers claim that the composition will
last for Il long time out Of doors, and
it has been used already (mOre partic-
ularly in the West, where it was first
introduced) for building fronts, GEM
ctery walls, tOmbstOneS, etc. 1t will
be seen that the marble mosaic has a
great advantage in the way Of cheap
ness over solid marble work. The ma
terial costs much less than solid mar
bic in the block, while the work of
molding, admitting as it does of in
definite duplication, is less expensive
process than cutting by hand. While
many may be skeptical about the du-
rability of marble mosaic as an out
door building material, there is a good
demand for the small articles finished
for indoor ornaments.

Marking Track Defects.

There are now in use many devices
for marking defects in the roadbed
or rails of railway, and of these not
the least ingenious is that employed
in the state railroads of Bavaria. The
instrument used, which is pllced under
the car, is SO adjusted as to be OK
cccdingly sensitive to jars or percus-
sion, and is fitted with a receptacle con-
tanning a red and blue liquid. The
apparatus works automatically, and it's
action is based on the fact that every
depression or break in a line of track
causes a shock of greater or less inten-
sity in Il car passing over it. When
ever shock exceeds a certain degree
Of intensity Il squirting device is
brought into operation, and the colOred
liquid is projected over the roadbed,
leaving a tell-tale mark of from l
to Z feet in length, according to the
nature of the flaw.

Many Kinds of Chinese Language

says, mo such thing as a Chinese Ian
guage any more than there is i Euro

seen two Chinese sitting together with
third one acting as interpreter.
pidgeon English is the common Ian
guage Of commerce. 1t has vOcab-
ulary of less than 1000 words, but is
sufficiently flexible to answer any pur-
pose" Were China but an island, or
series of islands, instead of half Of
Il large continent and were thus open
on all sides to the Omnipresent Ian
guage-carrying British steamer, it is
within the bounds of probability that

Seeing a Cataract in Ones own Eye.

Seeing "a Cataract in Ones Own Eye.
A correspondent of scientific journ-
al describes a simple method which en-
ables patent to sec 4 cataract in his
own eye and note its growth and de-
velopment probably better than any
OculiSt can observe it for him. The
cause of cataract is the gradual dep0Si-
ton of oXalate of lime in the substance
Of the crystalline lens. 1t occurs at
first in small spots or etreaks, some
times in one part and sometimes in
another, gradually increasing until it
penetrates the whole of the lens, caus-
ing blindness. The remedy is to re-
move the lens, and after it's removal
the patient needs q substitute in the
form of highly magnifying spectacles.
The method advocated to enable Il
patient to follow the progress of the
disease is to use 4 l. Gee of card-a Wis
iting card will dO-and needle. Pierce
Il clean, round hole near the middle
of the card and hold the card up to the
light, close to the eye, looking per-
ferably in the direction of a piece of
blue sky. With the card near to the
eye the observer will not see the small
hole pierced by the needle, but a COM
paratively large, family illuminated
field, with his cataract projected upon
it. He is, in fact regarding the shad-
ow cast by his cataract on the retina
at the back Of the eye. With small
puncture in the card the shadow so
thrown is comparatively sharp But
with a normal eye an evenly illuminat-
cd field or clean disk will be seen. The
correspondent states that there is in
this way no difficulty in mapping out
the deposition of foreign matter, and
so arriving at an opinion as to whether
it is advisable to have an operation or
not AS an evidence of his faith in
his own prescription, he has made
drawings at intervals during the last
three years of cataract which is slowly
developing in one of his eyes. He fur
Their says that no oculist he has met
with is acquainted with this method,
and there may consequently be some
advantage in making it public.

The Camera and Photograph Used
With Effect to Induce Kanaka EN-
fgratiOn.
When one of the Australian squadron
was patrolling the South Seas lately,
she came up with sailing vessel and
one of her officers boarded the stranger,
says the Sydney Mail. She proved to
be colonial craft, engaged in recruit
ing Kanakas for the Queensland planta-
tons. On board the naval officer no.
ticed photograph. He was told tnat
before the vessel left Queensland, the
captain visited some of the sugar planta-
tons where South Sea Islanders are
employed. He took a camera and
monograph, and then he went into the
business Of photographing groups Of
natives ON the plantations, also taking
individual pictures of well known ma
tiyes from the New Hebrides and 9TH
ers from the Southern Group. Edison's
invention was then brought into serv-
ice, the best known Of the natives, espe-
cially those who have relatives and
friends in the islands, being asked to
speak into the photograph anything
they would like to tell their friends.
Large numbers of these photograph
letters were procured, giving accounts
of what sort Of life the Kanakas We're
having on the plantations aud any
other news that would interest the "Old
folks at home" at MallicOllo. Ambrym,

the ingenious shipmaSter sailed for the
islands, and, when last seen, was aston
iShing the natives. Many of the photo
graphs he had transferred to glass for
use with the lime light, and with the
photographs and the photograph he
was i'll Il position to give such an eX-
hibition of life on plantation as fairly
changed the native doubts into an en-
thusiastic desire to emigrate Nor was
this all. At the lime light show he
would produce a full-Sized picture of
an absent friend, native who was
we'll known in the Island, in which the
shipmaster happened to be. and to the
amazement Of his dusky audience, would
make him speak words of greeting

THEORY As TO hcREEpiNc"
RAILS.

Attempt ut Explaining a Curious
Phenomenon Observed on Rail-
roads.
Unless there are counteractirg in
fuences, the natural tendency of rails
is to "creep" downward, o5eying the
weel known laws of gravity. If, how
ever, the grade be too slight to give
much effect to this law, and, in fact,
SO slight as to require the use of steam
In the handling of descending trains
MS natural tendency may be minimized,
and, indeed, overcome and rev ersed by
a constant draft of loads in the direc-
ton of it's descent, says the Charleston
News and Courier. Heavy loads pull
ing constantly in one direction have u
tendency to drive the rail in the op-
posite direction. Should it he neces-
sary, however, to apply the brakes,
the rail is driven in the direction of
the moving train. Or Il perfectly level
track the rail almost invariably
''crceps" in the opposite direction from
the movement of the heaviest and most
constant traffic, except at points where
it is customary to shut off and apply
the same direction. On roads having
grades which change abruptly from
ascending to descending grades over
the crown of hill, it often happens
that the rails ''creep" up grade on both
sides of the crown, and this is especial
ly true where long, heavy trains are
run, as the heavy pulling of the engine
after it has passed the crown, going
down fn 1nixy he
upward on the one side, while the rear
of the train has somewhat the tendency
to pull, or at least to hold, the rail on
the opposite ascent. One rail often
'creeps" faster than the other; this is
not confined to the east rail or the west
rail, the north or the south. 1t is due
to variety of causes, and to none per-
hapS more than to the fact that there
is a difference, and often a popularity,
in humanity. There is in railroad par
lance what is known as line" and
gauge" rail; in nine cases out of ten
the line" rail gets the most attention
from the foreman in charge; and, in adj
ditiOn, two men are usually selected to
keep up the bolts and joints, one Of
which is generally the most trusted
man in the gang" The other works
under him; almost invariably this
trusted man gets on the line rail,
and thus it will be seen that the joints
and bolts are kept in better shape on
the one rail than on the other, and are
therefore more capable of resisting the
tendency to creep" This habit among
trackmen of adopting pet rail is one
of the peculiarities of human nature;
BARRIERS have somewhat the same pc
culiarity-they lather and rub, shave
and powder one side of a mans face
until human endurance rebels against
the injustice.
