woman opened her eyes in surprise,
and then went ahead calmly settling
herself in her seat in the box nearest

But the cheering continued, and
men got upon their chairs and
waved hats and fans in their
desire to do honor to the wife

and soon it looked as if the whole au-
dience was on its feet yelling with
might and main. Mrs Bryan, of
course, rose to bow her thanks. The
cheering became more enthusiastic
She bowed again. Finally the cheer
ing ceased and Mrs. Bryan began
welding a palm leaf fan and calmly
surveyed the audience. Mrs Bryan
had entered the hall on the arm of

could not attend on account of illness,
and the wife of Gov. Stone came in her
place. In the box with Mrs. Bryan
WERE Mr.. and Mrs. Bland, Mrs. Stone,

tuition.
Il was just eight o'clock when Mr..
Bryan entered. He had reached the
garden in company with his wife and
Mr.. ST. John, but had remained below
until they were seated. They had
been conveyed TO the Twenty-seventh-
street entrance, from which the po-
lice had kept back the crowd, and the
arrival of the candidate was not
known to the struggling masses
around the other doors. But when he
stepped on the stand and was recog-
nized by many in the audience a great
cheer went up. Bryan, Bryan,
Bryanr was the cry. The cheering
stopped at last, and those who timed
it said that the ovation had lasted six
minutes. The crowd was reservIng

Judge Culberson concluded to get even.
Procuring two dozen Autographs Of

THE TOO uNsELFlsH WIFE.
She Who Loves Peace Before Principle
Il Weak Spirited.

She Who Loves Peace Before Principles
Il Weak Spirited.
The last century wife, the wife
evolved under the common-law disci-
pline (which permitted the husband to
.hastise her according to his own in
clination for the sake Of maintain
ing discipline in the family and "for
her own good") was q creature Of no
win, of no individuality. All there was
of her was absorbed when she married.
The common law has given place to
something better, and women Of
higher character now reign in our
homes and train the children. But some
81 the old types are left, and that brow
beaten nonentity called . wife, by
courtesy, is no uncommon sight, even
In an era Of "sweetnes6 aud light"
Such women ore themselves to blame,
and have the remedy in their own
hands.
In marriage the more loving heart
viii often yield until selfishness is seen
to be the real source of the demand;
then comes the total absorption Of will
and desire and hope, making the wife
q spiritless, despised creature instead
Of q woman; or, on the other hcnd, .
firm stand is taken, which very likely
produces considerable Of family jar.
This il too bad, but IL TO be or mot to
be- is the question the sooner dig
nified stand is taken the better and
the less likely it will be TO lead to quar-
reling-that noxious poison Of family
life. In the end II il better for the wei
fare Of the family that neither should
sink his individuality In the other. Let
no one confound his thought with a
reckless desire to have his or her ''own
wsy." The root Of this is always selfish
and to be condemned. Peace and har.
mony in family life are worth every
thing, except principle or honor.-Chi-

How the United States and venoxaela
Exchanged Statues.
Down in the northeastern coast Of
South America, in Caracas, the capital
Of the United States of Venezuela. there
is pretty little plaza, called the Plaza
Washington. 1t is not at all an impor-
tant plaza; it il not floored for hun
dreds of yards with rare ,nosaics like
the Plaza de Bolivar, nor lit by swing
ing electric lights, and the presidents
band never plays there. But it has a
fresh prettiness and restfulncss all its
own, and the narrow gravel paths are
clean and trim, and the grass grows
rich and high, and the branches Of the
trees touch and interlace and form q
green roof over al except in the very
center, where there stands open to the
blue sky statue Of Washington, calm,
dignified. beneiicent and natural.
It is Washington the statesman, not
Washington the soldier. The sun of
the tropics beats down upon his shout
ders; the palms rustic and whisper
above his head. From the
barred windows Of the yellow and blue
and pink houses that line the little
plaza dark-eyed. dark-skinned women
look out sleepily, but understandingly,

with his red blanket and Winchester

stop and take OF their hats and make q

Other governments than those Of the
United States Of America and the
United States Of Venezuela have put
up statues Of their great men in for
eign capitals, but the careers of Wash

deposition Of copper on ships plates
hy an electrolytic method is now in
actual operation. The coating depos-
tied adheres SO firmly as to make its re-
moval very difficult; in fact. it ID
claimed that the copper becomes prac-
tically a part of the steel plate when
the process is complete.
The copper is applied to the cem-
pleted and not to the separate plates,
and hence existing vessels may take
advantage of this method to save dock
age. The possibilities of the process
are not confined to steel vessels; for
wooden vessels may be coppered by
this method If their sides are first
treated with plumbago. To prepare
the sides of q steel vessel for receiving
its coat Of copper. shallow baths, aver
aging. say. go square feet, rectangular
in shape, and open on one side, are
made wateItight by a coating Of tar,
and are provided on their edges with
heavy soft rubber gaskets.
In the bottom of the bath are two
pipes, through which the electroiyte
is circulated. The bath is held cd
against the side of the vessel by poles.
1t is first filled with a picking mixture
composed Of dilute sulphuric acid, and
this remains In contact with the plates
about IL hours, after which 1t is re-
moved and the plate in secured with
sand and soda. II a suiphate bath were
then applied coating would be depos-
tied. but such coating. owing to the
free acid Of the mixture, would readily
peel OF. To avoid this preliminary
coating is deposited by the use of
cyanide instead of sulphate of copper.
Copper electrodes are placed in the
bath, and proper connection is made
with the dynamo which furnishes the
electrolyzing current. The sulphate
bath is applied for 4s hours, and when
the process is complete a coating of
three thirty-secondst to one-eighth otan
inch is deposited over the whole SUR
face. The process is said to save its cost
many times over, besides making great
of time possible.-Pittsburgh

THE LARGEST DIAMOND.

An Immense Stone Which Has Been
Found In the Brazilian Fields.
The largest diamond yet discovered
weighs 800 carats. The great Jagers-
fontein, which was found in South AZ
RIGA about two years ago, and which
was said to be the largest known to be
in existence up to that time, weighed
about $40 carats.
The stone was found in the Carbon
district, the old diamond fields of Bra
I'll. It is of the class known as "black
diamonds" or commercially as barbon.
which are used in diamond drills and
tor similar purposes. their color not
adapting them to ornament.
The original finder is not known. At
the present time the stone 10 in the
hands of the jewelry firm Of Kahn &
Company, Of Paris, and the Brazilian
government is negotiating for its pur-
chase for the National museum. The
stone was offered to Messrs Victor,
Bishop & Company. of New York. but
they declined to purchase 1t, as it 10
difficult to say how such an exception
ally large stone will turn out when cut
into commercial sizes, and the price de-
manded was too great. TIE value is
placed by experts at between $4,000
and $4,000. The price paid for it by
the present owner is somewhat uncer-
tain. one account putting it Al $26. 900,
while another says that they paid SIS
I'D. (English) per carat, which would
make the price nearly $4,000, or not
far from its probable maximum value.
There is little doubt that it will eventu-
ally be placed in the Brazilian museum,
rs no private firm could afford to pay
the amount asked for it by the present
holders, or which would be likely to be
asked by any commercial house into
whose hands it might pass.-Engineer-
