Relics of Chicago.

Three interesting relics Of the
early days Of Chicago have been
presented to the mayor there. The
relics consist OF carpenters square
milestone, and large key. The
articles were covered with rust and
were Of odd design. The square was
used by Mr.. Philips, who is car
penter, and now So years old, in
building the first frame house ever
constructed in Chicago. The house
was built near old Fort Dearborn,
for Mark Beaubien, and was used as
a tavern. The milestone was given
Mr.. Philips by Lieut. Jameson, who
was stationed at Fort Dearborn. 1t
was also used in building the tavern.
The key was made by Mr.. Philips
for Lieut.. Jameson to unlock the
Government strong box in the fort,
the original key having been lost.

Ventilation of Large Halls.

How easily large halls can now be
ventilated is seen in the recently in
stalled plant for lighting and venti-
lating the House of Representatives
and the Senate chamber in Wash
ington. The system Of ventilation
which is already in operation in the
Senate and House. is illustrative Of
the best modern practice. The fans
under the flooring are twelve feet in
diameter, and are driven by electric
motors of Is horse power motor.
The pure air is drawn from a stone
tower situated on the northwest
section OF the Capitol grounds, and
passed between steam piping before
it is driven up through the double
air-tight flooring and into the Senate
chamber AT the foot of each Of
the numerous desks provided for
the Senators are number Of per-
forations, and through these holes
the air passes inward. Each desk is
provided with means of shutting off
the supply Of air or regulating it,.
An ice plant is to be erected later.
and in warm weather the air will be
cooled before being forced into the
chamber.

A First Experience.

The famous Jack Mytton-famous
in sporting annals among his
numerous estates in various part of
the country, owned the lordship OF
Dinas Mowddy in Wales, with a
manor house in a sweet, secluded
vale among the hills, Driving home,

at his ancient seat, he overlook the

leisurely along. Jump up" cried
the squire; andlAe parson clambered
willingly into the high dog cart.
The road was narrow, and Mytton
drove as recklessly as any son Of
Jehu. Indeed, Mr., Mytton,' cried

the squire. "Then, by lingo, you

and a handsome souvenir Of the

Coal in Australia.

Recent Investigations indicate the
posi- ole existence OF coal-bearing
strata of great width, extending
from the coast of New South Wales
to the centre of Australia, distance
of nearly 1000 miles. These dis
coveries may bs regarded as fore
shadowing the future industrial de-
velopment OF New South Wales and
other colonies, for, with a genial
climate and abundance of water and
coal, almost everything is possible
They certainly show that sooner or
later the tide of settlement will be
found flowing into the interior, and
that much of the country now utilis-
cd in the form of sheep walks will
be found occupied by the agricul-
turist and the fruit-grower.

HELPING A FRIEND.
A Statesman who Was Willing to
Give Up What He Had.

A Statesman who Was Wiling to
Give Up What He Had.
There are those who say unklnd things
of the late Dan Voorhees," remarked a
prominent republican from the state Of
Indiana, but Whatever may be said. 1t is
political and not personal. for the man had
cne side to his nature that the whole world
could admire. and that part Of 1t which
knew did admire and love as we'll 1t was
on this account that when he died there
were many who shed sincere and sorrowful
tears for his loss. They did not know him
as q politician and United States senator,
but as q man and friend.
II remember an instance showing his
kindness, and also showing one Of the rea-
sons why he was always poor. He had
gone down the railroad some thirty or
forty miles from his home to defend q
case In court, which he had very little
thought of getting any money for. though
the litigant hid plenty Of property. He
won the case. and. much to his surprise,
his client gave him 400. which was also
pleasant to have, as he had loaned to
various applicants what little money ne
had brought from home with him. He
pocketed the hundred, and, after paying
the train. due in half or three-quarters of
an hour. On his way he was overtaken by
a former friend, who hurried after him to
ask his legal advice. free. of course. In the
matter Of stavfng OF a mortgage on his
1900 dollar farm. and saving It to his
family. A hundred dollars would set it
forward year, and give him that much
time to pull himself out. which he was
sure he could do. Voorhees, talked ten
minutes or more to the man, giving him
such advice as he thought was the best,
and all at once he broke into a hearty
laugh.
What's the matter? asked the farmer
almost indignant at such levity.
Why still laughed Voorhees,. going
into the pocket where his roll of bills was,
here I'm talking all this time to you, when
I've got the very thing you need 1 had
clean forgotten all about it. Here's what

where he borrowed money enough to buy

A DIFFERENT CUSTOM.

What is Proper in the United States

The man who had been down In Mexico
trying to buy up a car load OF silver dol
lars made for the American market, and
guaranteed worth their weight in sterling
silver. was in town the ether day looking
for customers. Incidentally he ran across
a Star reporter and offered to sell him q
ton or two of dollars. Then the man ask
ed for light and the reporter, Tipping the
ashes from his cigar. handed 1t over to the
returned traveller.
There's such a difference in customs -
said the man, taking his light from the
borrowed cigar. Now you notice how po-
Htely and thoughtfully-for thoughtfulness
is the true politeness-you knocked tho

code of manners. and about the first thing
l did when landed was to ask a man for
q light. He handed me q cigar with the
ashes on I thought it was bad manners,
but I fipped them OF and kindled my
weed. I did that four or five times, and I
always got 1t the same way. Then 1 be-
gan to hope some Of them would ask me
for light so 1 could show Mexico what
real manners were. l got the chance one

He took it, Of course. because he was too
polite to treat stranger otherwise but he
did 1t in a way that showed ne something
was wrong, and 1 began asking a question
or two.
"The result was that discovered what
the true form was and what an ass had
been making Of myself trying to teach
those old CASTLE soaparcons what the code

the thing to do was to leave the ashes on
