Washington is at all times a place
of interest, but it is particularly so
and is seen at its best during the
winter months, when Congress is in
session. What Rome was to every
soldier of the Empire, what Athens
was to the Greek, Washington is and
should be to every citizen of the
United States-his glory, his pride,
his Inheritance, his cstate-it belongs
to him. All its magnificence, all its
glory, all its fame, its public build
ings, lis paintings, its statuary, its
monuments, its gardens, its libraries,
lis museums. its streets and its
parks. You have no doubt often
promised yourself trip to the Ma
tional Capitol. Why not avail your

the next excursion is announced via

GLADSTONE ON EVOLUTION,
The English Statesman Reviews the Main
Points of Biblical Criticism In Able Style.

The English Statesman Reviews the Main
Points of Biblical Criticism In Able Style.
A most imposing volume is just about
to be issued by the Henry o. Shepard COM
pany, publishers, Of Chicago. 1t is "The
Peoples Bible History, prepared Sin the
light of recent Investigations" by some Of
the foremost thinkers in Europe and Amer
lea. The book is edited by the Rev. George
G. Lorimer, LII. - of Boston, whose por-
trait is given as a frOntispieCe, and it is
introduced most deliberately by the Right
Hon. William Il. Gladstone. Among the
other contributors arc Professor A. II.
Sayce of Queens college, Oxford; Arch
deacon Farrar, canon of Westminster;
Rev. Samuel Hart of Trinity college,
Hartford; Rev. Robert S. Macarthur of
Calvary Baptist church, New York city,
Rev. Edward Everett Hale and Rev. Will
liam Cleaver Wilkinson professor of poet
ry and critics in the University Of Chicago.
The history has been divided into 10
books, each portraying n separate epoch,
the whole introduced by Mr.. Gladstone, of
whom very lifeliie portrait is given.
This is, 1 believe, the first time that Mr..
Gladstone has contributed to an American
book, but the Importance of the work and
his intense interest in the subject caused
him to lay aside other work that he might
give his attention to this.
The book is not intended to usurp the
placo.o the Bible but to assist the reader
in "its better knowledge" According to
the editor, DR.. Lorimcr, the prime purpose
of this volume is "to unfold the history
recorded in the Bible and not to discuss
theories of inspiration or defend n system
of theology" The clcrgymen who have
contributed to tho book belong to various
denominations, so that we get moro than
one point of view.
Mr.. Gladstone's introduction covers GO
pages and is defense of Christianity as
well as u record of proofs of its supremacy
thrOnghout the Morld.-New York World.

Yankee Made Alaskan Curios.

Ex-State Senator Il. G.. VOORHEES, Of SUIT
ter Creek returned with his family from a
visit to Alaska recently.
"Thcre is one thing from which the Or
binary tourist cannot be weaned, said he.
"He will buy curios wherever he goes.
That is the way in Alaska. We hear n
good deal about the fine carving done by
the native Alaskan. Now, the fact is the
Alaskan knows mighty little about cary
ing. The crack carver of Sitka came down
to San Francisco, was told to learn the
art of carving, and now he turns out bar
rels of ingenious contrivances supposed by
his customers to be indigenous to the soil
of Alaska only. On boat which went to
Juneau a short time before we arrived there
were actually 5000 pounds of Alaskan
curios manufactured by Americans at
Brockton, Mass. San Francisco CLron-

THINKS HE Is AN ENGINE.
Remarkable Delusion of n Man at Ann
Arbor, Mich.


There is now in the county Jail mt Ann
Arbor, awaiting a vacancy in the Pontiac
asylum, young man who imagines he is
train of cars. He was taken there from
Milan and gives his name as Walter Rog-
ers. He says his home is in San Francis
co, whence he made n remarkably fast run,
often attaining a rate of 80 miles an hour
He spends all his time in initiating the
noises attendant on starting up and stop
ping a railroad train.
Every sound and movement he produces
with startling fidelity and detail. When
the officer found him, he was on the rail
road track and from his actions was just
getting up stcam Soon he said it was
time to start, ordered tho fireman to fill
the tank with water and the tender with
coal, initiating every act perfectly. Then
he pulled out the lever and started tho
train, running so fast that it was necessary
to head him off with horse.
His whistle for "down brakes" can be
heard a mile He is about II years old 1t
is believed that the name and address he
gives are both false, and the officers are
anxious to know what section he comes
from.-Chicago Times-Herald.

New Illustrations of the Paris Power.

Some interesting figures concerning the
American liner Paris are given in Il recent
issue of The Bulletin de la Societc DIES In
geniours Civils To carry steamship Of
her lines and tonnage, 10, 800, across the
ocean in less than six days more than 90,
900 horsepower must be developed by the
engines, and 1,S0O tons of coal must be
consumed in developing this power The
screws, making SO revolutions a minute,
revolve 76O, 800 times during the voyage
and travel in the process "a distance equal
to one-third the circumference of the globe.
The horsepower necessary to drive the YES
sci at this speed would, if it were possible
to apply it to lifting without loss from
friction raise the weight of the Eiffel tow
er nearly /, 200 feet in 20 minutes.
There enter the boilers 30 liters of wa
ter every second, or enough in the course
of the voyage to cover the Champ de Mars,
more than 100 acres in area, nearly 1.2
inches deep. The circulating pumps of
the steamship carry during the voyage
enough water to cover the Champ de Mars
nearly 40 inches deep.

agree with her, we tried---milk I'M
til she was one month old. Then she re-
fused to take any more of this food and
her weight had not increased at all, so
we changed food again. We tried cows
milk, condensed milk and four or five
food preparations, but nothing agreed
with her as lactated food, and we went
back to that after each new trial. At
two months old she had doubled her
weight upon lactated food. Being an
eight months baby, she has always been
very delicate, and she is still feeding up

licent was born August 25th, 1898, and
now is nearly Is months old and weighs

LIES Dreams.

A scarlet poppy was sleeping,
Famed by the summer air,
And as he sleeps he dreameth
OF the golden wheat so fair.
Dreams she is standing by him
And he whispers in her ear
Words that he dare not utter
When waking he sees her near.
So in my dreams, my darling,
Thy golden head see,
And liAe the scarlet poppy
l Whisper my love to thee.
Old Verse.
o scarlet poppy swinging
On thy stem in the golden wheat,
May the soft air fan thy slumbers,
And thy summer dreams be sweet,
For DER thy silken petals
The autumn winds will blow,
And thy scattered leaves lie hidden
Beneath the drifted snowl
The wheat with its golden kernels
Must all be gathered in,
And our eyes meet only the stubble,
Where its beauty once hath been.
So love may fade like the summer,
And leave its sting behind,
A grief that will find its echo
In the moan of the winter wind.
Our love is but human, darling,
Its tlow'r may wither, too,
But life would be scarce worth living
If reft of its love for you.
