jected all bids submitted for the super
structure. roof covering, etc, of the United
States post office building at Allegheny

pose of the department to change the kind
OF material to be used. The old speciiica-
tions asked for bids for building of stone or
marble, but in order to comply with the gen
eral desire of the people of Allegheny, it
had been decided to use cut granite, and

terial, VIII be very soon issued, and new

have the vessel ordered into dry dock be-

says that the whole trouble lies in the fact
that the openings admitting the sea to the
condensers have been nearly closed by a
growth of oysters and marine grasses while
the ship laid at the dock, and this is the
opinion of the engineer officers at the de-
partment. As these apertures are twenty
feet below the water line the ship must be
cooked to permit the removal of the graf
irgs. Meantime her bottom can also be
cleaned so that she may make a better
showing both in speed and horse power on
her trial trip.

A Story About Washington not
Found in History.

1t is about his copy book and his
birthday. History says that that copy
book is at Mount Vernon now. The
story is this: When George Washing
ton was little boy and went to school,
there was big snowstorm on February
81. The boys planned to have a Snow
ball fight the next day. George Wash
ington was to be captain of one side, be-
cause it was his birthday. They were
going to have the battle right after
school. At recesses they made piles and
piles of snow balls to fire at each other.
Oh. they were going to have a grand
time. They had to write in their
copy. books the last thing before school
closed. George Washington was think
ing Sd much about the snow ball fight
that his writing was not nice at all.
His teacher said: George. | am sur
p Used. Take this piece of paper and
write that all over again after school,"
And George Washington had to stay
in on his birthday. The boys got
another captain in his place and had the
snow-oall battle, and he wasn't in it,

The United States Twenty five Years

In 1870 the United States covered the
same tract of the earth's surface as now,
amounting to four million square miles.
Hardly more than fifth of this repre-

a third of the vast domain was settled,
the western frontier running irregularly
parallel with the Mississippi. but nearer
to that stream than to the Rocky

AT THE WASHINGTON zoo.

A favorite amusement of the little
bear was to go off to the end of his cage
iwdy from his mother, and then, rising
on his hind feet, walk over to her. and,
throw ng his arms about her neck, hug
her for all he was worth, and then begin
to bite, and scratch, and pommel her.
This she would stand for while, but
if he became too severe the usual cutting
was given him; or else. il he was very
bad she would take him up in her mouth
and go and drop him in the large water
tar at one end Of the cage. the edge of
which was on level with the floor.
This great tank was two feet Deep and
even when there was 10 water in it, it
was wet and elimy, and the little bear
did not like it.
Sometimes he was thrown in when
the tank was half full Of water, and ives
left to gasp and choke several minute
before the old bear would reach in, and.
grabbing him by leg, foot, back, or head,
whichever one came uppermost, pull
him out and drop him on the floor to
dry. The last time l saw him he was
very naughty. indeed, and was several
times doused in the water.
The last dip seemed to have been sue
cessful. for very quiet little bear crept
up to its mothers side by the edge of
the tank. But, when the mothers head
was turned. he leaped up and sprang at
her in such way as to make her lose
her balance. There was a tremendous
splash as the old bear slid over the side
and under the water.
The little bears ears stood straight
up, and he looked the very imp of mis-
chief as he saw his mother disappear.
his expression changed. however. when
the old bears head came above water
again. There was a look in her face
that made him think that it would be
we'll to retire.
With ears laid fiat back, he sped for
for the small covered room opening off
the back of the cage, and retired to the
darkest corner where he crouched down
and pretended to go to sleep. Mrs.
Bear slowly climbed out of the tank,
then trampled across the cage to the
room in the rear, and, blocking up the
entrance with her body, leaned forward
and administered several resounding
thumps on the little black bundle in the
corner. The little bear was on his good
behaviour after that for twenty minutes.

And one is BY and BY.
The first little ship is all for you
Its masts are gold. its sails are blue,
And this is the cargo it brings:

Nights where dreams like stars are growing
Take them. sweet, or they'll be g'ing!
For they every one have wings.
The second ip it all for me-
A-sailing ON misty sea
And out across the twilight gray.
What it brought of gift and blessing
Would not stay for my caressing-
Was too dear for my possessing
So it sails and sails away.
The last ship, riding fair and high
Upon the sea, is By and By.
