Aluminium Coating.

Now that the aluminium coating on
the tower Of the public buildings begins
to make q showing some idea can be
gained Of what the great pile of iron
work will look like when entirely COW
cred with this substance. It is evident
that it will differ considerably in color
from the beautiful white of the marble
portion of the tower, and it is question.
able whether it will harmonize pleas.
antly. When the tower was first plan.
ned, it was proposed to paint the IRON
work white, 50 as to give the impression
that the entire tower was Of marble.
This idea was abandoned. however, on
account of the expense that would be
forever entailed in painting the struc.
ture and the great risk that would at
tend the operation. The introduction of
aluminium was hailed as q solution of
the trouble, but it is yet doubtful whether
it will really prove SO. The coating Of
the ironwork with aluminium, which is
all done at Taoony, is the biggest jon
in which that interesting metal has ever
been put to commercial uses. -Phila-

Richard Donovan Thought They Ought to
Get Him n Place on the Force.
Richard Donovan arrived here on the
Umbria ON Monday from Black Rock,
County Cork. Ireland, and was taken to
Ellis island. Later he was led before
the, board of inquiry, when it was
discovered he had only 16 shillings as a
starter for fortune. Ho is an ingenu-
ous, we'll built man, with round, rosy
face During the examination the fol-
lowing dialogue took place:
Commissioner McSweeney-Donovan
what do you intend to do in America?
Donovan-Shure, yer worreship, it's
mesilf phat's got letter to the right
honorable Mr.. Richard Croker, lord
chamberlain of North America.
Donovan produced the letter with a
flourish. It was written by Miss Kate
Connolly. also of Black Rock, who, it
is said, is o distant relative of Mr..
Croker, and in it appeared the name
and address of Alderman Kane of 237
East One Hundred and Forty first
street. After it was read Commissioner
McSweeney continued:
''What are you going to do?"
''Shure, intind to work."
"Have you been hired?'
"No, but have ID good letters,
and atween the min as is mintioned in
'em don't you think kin git on the
perlice?"
And this opened the gates of Uncle
Sam to Richard Donovan. New York

THE Widest LAND.

Oregon Has tho Honor Of Having the
Roughest Tract Known to Man.
Assistant Chief Goode of the United
States geological survey, who visited
Oregon last summer, says that the wild
est region of the entire United States is
an area of 1000 square miles lying in
the mountains between Roseburg and
Coquille in Douglas and Coos oounties
He describes it as mysterious undis-
covered country, in which roams undis-
turbed wild game, and whose brooks
and rivers are filed with wild fowl. It
Is nearly all covered with dense
growth Of pine. fir, hemlock and other
trees. Many Of the trees are of enor.
nous size and stand 80 closely that 1t is
difficult for men to make their way be.
tween them. Where the trees are not 90
thick the heavy growth Of bushes Of va
rious kinds takes their place.
It is q country that is filed with all
kinds of wild game, including, as re.
ported to him, elk, different kinds OF
bear, mountain lions, deer and other
animals, including lynx and others.
There are also the varied kinds Of fowl.
The streams all have an abundance Of
trout and other kinds of fish. He pene.

saw things that filled him with wonde,

NOnsensical Names.

It has been complained that foolish
names are often bestowed OH the ma.
terials in which we garb ourselves, and
that it is nonsense to speak Of "electrie
blue, " crushed strawberry" or ''Loie
Fuller" but such titles are sensible and
descriptive compared to many used to
describe fashionable tints in vogue dur.

should we think nowadays of "consoled
widow "expiring ape" invalid
Spaniard, risen Dead" "love's de-
sire" and "baboon laughter?'-Chicagc

tuncture of two streets at the old north
end of Boston, is bust of Esculapius.
For many, many years it has been the

Some time ago two visitors to the
city went prowling about this ancient
and historic ground once SO aristocratic
and now SO squalid, and they came upon
the time worn bust. for the presence Of
which they were not prepared. Still it
seemed to them noteworthy, and they
went into shop to ask about it.

There Is one kind Of merchant detest.
able to the travelling man, and that is
the individual who knows it all and or
ders his goods direct from the house,
instead of allowing the traveller to take
his order. There is such a man in a
town not many miles from indianapolis
He has no use for travelling men, and If
one Of them happens to drop into his
store the old grocery keeper either ig-
nores him altogether or gives him ter
fible tongue lashing. The old fellow
was caught once, however, and those
who have been unfortunate enough to
run up against him are wondering how
It was done. The man who sold him a
bill of goods heard before he reached the
town what a tough old customer he
was, and he made up his mind to sell
him bill of goods or die in the attempt,
He had been told how every scheme
failed, ard he resolved to try q new
game--that of making him mad. He
went into tho store bright and early,
whistling a merry tune. The proprietor
was back at his desk, and the drummer
"braced" the clerk.
"Where is it," he asked.
"What, where, how?' exclaimed the
| clerk. half scared to death.

RusSlA'S ARlSTOCRAcY.
Il Embracrs q Million Noblemen and

IL Embracrs q Million Noblemen and
Princesses Who Are shopgirls.
Russia possesses $50, 600 mobiles with
out counting $50, 600 wEc~e titles are
not hereditary. Among tho Russian no
bility there are many of foreign origin.
The Russian social code recognizes four
categories or estates (soslovia)-thati is
to say, mobiles, priests, town dwellers
and peasants. The character Of their
employment distinguishes these classes
from one another. Each is dependent
on the czar for all it's privileges, and
the emperor has absolute power to
change the condition of his subjects
from high to low estate. None OF
these classes possesses either historic.
al, a political or social individuality.
The Russian aristocracy is deprived
Of political Importance, and it cannot
boast of such chivalrous qualities as dis.
tinguished the French mobiles. For the
present it lacks sufficient good sense OF
education to play any part in publ,
life. Russian aristocrats all desire to be
considered as direct descendants Of the
Boyars, merely because it is pleasant to
be such, and thus get position Of So
cial superiority. Their ambition goes nc
higher. The Boyars, like the feudal
western landowners, are the descendants
Of the men who Of old composed the
Russian princes army. The members
Of the Russian aristocracy have in grea
part retained their places at court, 81
that there can be encountered most O
the old historic names. Children Of botl
sexes inherit the titles of their parents
The Russian aristocracy is distinguish
ed by overweening pride and haughti
ness, and at the same time there is of
ten united to this, in bizarre contrast
certain snobbishness. Access to tn
circles of high society is very difficult
It is only possible to penetrate into then
| If we'll born and well connected. TIL
Russians rarely abandon their titles, be
ing too proud of them to quit them eas
lily. A'marriage between poor gentle
man and a rich stranger, or vice versa
is considered in this country as shame
full mesalliance, and the couple woul'
not be received in the aristocratic salon
of the capital. Tolstoi, as well as Primo
| Maschersky, director Of the newspape
Grajdanine, has given in his novel YER
exact and graphic descriptions of Rus
sian high life. But with all their innat
pride the Russian great folk have neve
looked upon work as degrading Thus
II need be, they will adopt with eas
and without mauvaise honte any offices
any public charges. There is at st. Pc
tersburg prince who serves in the Gus
tom house, and many mobiles and title
men become professors, schoolmasters
even actors. In pastry cook shop q
Moscow some princesses of high bloc
serve behind the counter. Others wi,
become governesses, companions, house
keepers, telegraph clerks-in fact, wi
adopt any employment that may tur

THE MAID OF THE MIST.
A Perilous Trip That the Stanch Lift
Craft Successfully Performed.

A Perilous Trip That the stanch Little
Craft Successfully Performed.
Everybody who has visited Niagara
falls has heard of the Maid of the Mist
Her history is interesting. She was
built in 1854 for navigation between the
American and Canadian shores Of the
Niagara just below Niagara falls. She
was 70 feet long, with II feet breadth
of beam and feet depth Of hold,
and she carried an engine Of 100 horse
power After seven years service her
owner desired to sell her: He received
an offer of little more than half her
cost if he would deliver her at Niagara,
opposite the fort, and after consulting
with her captain and pilot, Joel R. Rob-
inson, he decided to accept the offer.
Robinson consented to act as pilot for
the fearful voyage, Jones, the engineer,
agreed to accompany him, and ma
chinist named Mcintyre volunteered to
share the risk with them.
On June ID, 1861, in the presence OF
large crowd, the little vessel left the
dock, which was just above the suspen.
sion bridge, ran up the eddy short dis.
tance, cleared the smooth water and shot
like an arrow into the rapid under the
bridge. When a third of the way down,
she was struck by jet Of water which
carried away her smokestack and keeleG
