The little town of Bordighcra In
Italy has furnished the Eastern
palms at Rome ever since the year
1886. How the grant was obtained
by Bresca, the brave old sea captain,
Is a curious story Standing with
the crowd in the open plaza, before
the Cathedral of ST. Peters, he was
gazing with breathlcss interest at tho
workmcn engaged In erecting tho
Egyptian obelisk. So momentous and
difficult task was this regarded that
Pope Slxtus V. forbade any one to
utter loud word during the opera.
tion, on pain of death.
: All went we'll until the massive
stone column reached n certain angle
when to the horror of the multitude
and the despair OF the engineer, II
ceased to move. Various expedients
were resorted to without avail, and
all seemed lost, when suddenly q
voice broke the silence, crying:
"Aiga, dai dc l'aiga ne cOrdel"
("Water, give water to the ropes!")
This suggestion, which came from
the old sailor. was quickly acted up
on; the obelisk slowly rightcd itself
and was successfully raised to the
position 1t now occupies.
When the trembling Bresca was
brought prisoner before the Pope
for punishment, the latter not only
pardoned the offensc, but offered to
grant him any reasonable request.
The unselflsh soul of the man showed
itself when, instead of petitioninQ
for some personal preferment, he
begged that the right of furnishing
the palms for Easter should be be-
slowed upon his family and the vii.
layers OF Bordighera, his birthplace
The request was granted, and is re.
spected to this day.

Westinghouse Cabin.

There are few buildings that attract
tho admirers of Washington that have
more of interest in them than de-
caying cabin which stands alone in an
old pasture field half milo from Ber-
ryville, in the beautiful Shenandoah
Valley of Virginia.
The old cabin was tho homo of
Washington when he was n surveyor.
He came here direct from tho mater.
nal roof to begin the nrduous and, at
the time, dangerous work of survey
ing the lands Of Thomas, Lord Fair
fax, who owned all the northern part
of Virginia under the kings patent;
the work was arduous because of the
physical aspect of the country, then n
dense Wilderness, and dangerous be-
cause of the character of the inhabi-
tants, who were principally Indians,
or scarcely less wild trappers or siuat-
ters upon his lordship's domain.
Washington had been selected by the
nobleman because OF his belief in the
youths ability to cope with these Gle.
ments, early in 174S, just after the
completion of his sixteenth year, his
only companion being George William
Fairfax, nephew of old Lord Thomas.
K Whether these boys erected the
building OF found it already in place
history does not state, but we'll au.
thenticated tradition says that they
built it themselves. That they used it
for an Office, kept their Instruments
there and slept in the upper room
there is ample proof. Boston TRAY,

The Associated Charities Put Nine

Kindngwood waslmanufactured on whole

yard. at Main and Mission streets yester day
afternoon Nine men armed with the latest
improved bucksaws, freshly snarpened for the
occasion, made sad havoc among the immense
piles of cOrdwood. 1t was the opening day Of

force was at work as will be later. The man
ayers expect TO give employment before the
week is past to thirty men. All day yesterday
the manager of the yard was beseged with
men asking for work. He was unable 10 satisfy
their DESIRES since none of them had cards
from charitable headquarters directing him TO
give them employment. The men were politely
told where they could procure their cTeden-
tials and they at once set out after them.
A number of orders were received at tile yard
for wood, and as fast as they came IN the rum
away steed was put In motion and the wood
was at once delivered The work each day
win last between l and In the afternoon. For
the three hours labor the men are given
tickets which entitle them to two meals and
lodging at certain clearinghouse. The men
labored very assiduously. A Few handled
their implements as though they had done the
work before. but majority acted as il they
had never seen saw or hatchet
