building was abandoned for school pur-
poses and has been doing tenement duties.

old schoolmate of Gen. Grant, who hoped
to save it a relic of the long ago. Braces

the foundation and the logs Of which 1t is
built are badly rotted.
During its career as a school house this

Most prominent among these are President

of the Monroe doctrine. especially as in
terpre:ed by opr President. We believe
that the Wilson bin was step in the right
direction and should be given fair test
We do not believe in reciprocity. as it is
impracticable and unneces sary and tends to
create hostilities against US.

the Wilson tariff bill our commerce Is rap

elements, cotton manufactures. india rub

Celestial photography.

By means of q most thorough system
Of celestial photography now inaugural
ed at Yale observatory it is expected
that much knowledge Of the character
and movements Of meteOric bodies will
be gained, the plan of observation con-
sisting of a series Of cameras covering
different fields IN the sky, each making
record, through the entire night, Of
every streak of light across the sky
within its field, giving at the end all
the meteors that have appeared, together
with the stars, and thus the length Of
trail, the brightness and the places in
the sky can be examined and determined
leisurely during the day, instead of be-
ing hastily attended to at night. As to
their origin, the late Professor Newton
of this institution was impressed with
the belief that they are not, as thought
by some, fragments of former worlds,
but rather the materials from which
new worlds may be formed. The distin-
guished Schiaparelli, so often cited in
such inquiries, argues that the meteors
have always been members Of the solar
system, for, if the sun in its course
through space should encounter meteors
having velocity Of their own of much
account, then the meteors would be
turned into great orbits about the sun,
extending out toward outer planets,
and if they move in these orbits we
could never see them. The orbits which
they have are, however, small ones in
comparison with these, and the velocity
which they had with reference to the
sun must. SchiapareIli declares, have
been very low. So that they have always
been, practically, members Of the solar
system. New York Sun.

European Cities WIN Use Electric Unaer-

European Cities VIII Use Electric Under-
ground Railways.
When electric underground railroads
We're first propose in Europe, great pref

emphasis laid by their opponents on the
danger ard inconvenience of carrying
crowds of people down elevators into

being caugh5 in an accident in a tunnel.
so feet below the surface of the ground.
In this country this ''hole in the ground"
fallacy is still in use as a warcry, but
in Europe it has received its quietus
from the indisputable success of the sys-
tenn of underground electric traction.
When the facts and figures of this
system are impartially considered, it is
hard to escape from the conviction that
it is the most sensible and effective So
luton of the question Of rapid transit
for large cities now in existence. It is
said, in fact, that nearly all the large
capitals in Europe have now in contem-
plation railroads Of this description.
The new lines at Budapest have just
been opened. The cost of the double
track road was $685., 600 per mile. The
average speed maintained, including
stoppages, is II - miles an hour. The
station platforms are from 10 to IS feet
wide. The station walls are covered
with white glazed tiles. All the iron
parts throughout the tunnel are painted
a silver color, which reflects the light
and makes the tunnel as light as day.
In the hottest weather the cars are de-
Hghfully cool. One Of the most suggest
i've features Of the road is that in the
morning and evening nearly every pas
senger is reading his daily paper, which
he does with all the comfort and ease of
daylight conditions
Brussels is about to lay down a sys-
tenn of Greathead tunnels. The line will
run so feet below the surface and will
be operated by electricity. The line is
to cost less than $1,000, 600 per mile.
It will have an automatic block system,
which will make collisions impossible.
In London there are no fewer than six
electric underground roads now author
lied. Two of these are at present being
actively pushed forward. The work is
regularly progressing, unhindered by
any springs that may be encountered, as
the shield used in driving the tunnels is
water tight and alright. There are no
signs of the excavation visible to street
passengers excepting only at the sites of
proposed stations. The minimum depth
of the tunnels will be so feet and the
maximum depth 100 feet. Access from
above to the platforms will be had by
monster elevators, each with carrying
capacity of $50 persons. The cost of
construction and equipment is So, $780,
900. The trains will be running next
summer. They will be dispatched at
~ minute intervals
Tt will serve to give some idea of the
magnitude of these combined railway
enterprises when it is considered that
the number of new stations they will
involve will reach total of 45.-Pitts-

The SECRET OF LOOKING
YOUNG.

A woman Of exceptionally youthful
appearance was asked by a girl:
Chow do you look SO young at your
age, aunt?'
In reply the aunt gave the ques-
toner some words of advice, based
upon her own experiences:
"First of all, rest whenever you
have chance. Rest as you go along
that is, don't keep going until you
can't rest. Don't sit up all night
working at a difficult problem, and
then wonder why you can't solve it.
Train your face to keep straight
during controversy or an excited
discussion. Don't allow it to reflect
every mental perplexity. Too much
earnestness will surely cut ridges in
your forehead.
As to your eyes, humor them, in
stead Of tormenting them. Wear
dark glasses in the sunlight, at
the seashore or lake. The frequent
blinking helps to make that network
of lines under the eyes, as laughter
Remember your mouth-that tell
tale of the feelings. It is so easy and
SO natural for the corners to droop
when you are depressed or angry.
Put guard upon that beautiful fea
ture. Make it smile when you are
usually wrought up. It's easy enough.
Press it small, as you do a baby's
mouth when you are going to kiss it.
This sounds ridiculous, when one is in
temper but take my word for it,
people won't say you're down in the
mouth if you practice this. The
temper has more to do in moulding
face than almost anything else.
Now for the hair: shun ammonia.
Nature is very generous; she over
looks great deal Of abuse, but don't
expect her to keep your hair glossy
and thick when you are dosing the
life out of it.'
