Proud Of the Capital.

The people of the country are fond of
their capital. More than the Washing
tonians themselves, they have seen the
wonderful progress of Washington, for
by visits at intervals, some of them ex-
tending over years, they have met with
some contrasts which tell the story to
the spectator more thoroughly than con-
slant living in the city could do. In diff
ferent parts Of the country we have
heard people discuss the growth of
Washington with pride and relate the
comparisons of their various visits. The
man who was there 10 or 20 years ago
and who goes again this year takes a
tale back home which he never tires Of
telling. .~.ss .. .,-.... 49,. . 49,.
:, And not only will Washington have
no rival in the sense of competition, but
it is destined to be beautiful beyond any
other city or any other capital in the
world What has been done is simply
anearnest Of what is to come. It will
be the capital Of society IS well as poll
tics Art and education will follow, and
already It is fact that more learned
and authoritative men can be gathered
in an audience in that city thar any
where else in the country. In fact, Bal
timme is glad to Re 50 near Washington.

Professor Norton illustrates With story
on Biology.
Charles Eliot Norton, professor Of
arts at Harvard university, whom Mat
thew Arnold described as the "only gen.
tleman in America, - objects most heart
ily to undergraduate specializing He
believes in the English university train
Ing, which gives q man broad educa-
ton and liberal equipment for citizen
ship which makes of him q cultivated
gentleman. In one of his lecture courses
Professor Norton told of student with
whom he had talked. The young man
was sophomore; his speciality, biolo-
gy. He described with great enthusiasm
the character Of his work and lamented
the fact that he had been unable,
through the regulations of the faculty,
to take more biology in his freshman
year. As a junior and a senior he in
tended to elect it exclusively, he said. =.
The young mans enthusiasm was
rather more saddening than inspiring
to the professor. -Four years. devotion
to single subject was crushing to his
ideals Of education So he asked:
Don't you think that your career in
college would eventually be more salts
factory to yourself and Of more profit to
others if you were to take less Of biolo-
~ and acquaint yourself little with
literature and history and the arts?''
The sophomore thought he was pre-
destined for biology,
For SOME time Professor Norton was
silent. Then he said rather absently:
do you confine yourself to any par
ticular branch Of biology?''
The face of the student frightened.
It was evident that he did. To the pro-
lessor there was something pathetic as
we'll as humorous in the reply that came
quickly:
"Oh, yes. My work is entirely devot-
I'd to study of the white ants intes-
tines. "-Exchange.

Snakes That Like Thunder.

One of the wonders Of the bare, sandy
plains of New Mexico is the thunder
snakes They are by no means common,
yet they are often encountered by prairie
travellers, especially before and after
thunderstorms- Flashes of lightning and
claps of thunder, which are SO terrify:
ing to bipeds and quadrupeds, seem to
have: the greatest charm aud delight for
these members of the serpent family.
Whenever q thunderstorm comes up
they have regular picnic. They come
crawling ont of holes, from behind
rocks and rotten stumps and. enjoy the
fun while it lasts. Theirnature is quar-
'relsome, their character fierce, and they
are aggressive in high degree, although
their markings are very beautiful. They
are not poisonous, however; their bark is
worse than their Chicago Record.

the rfngleaders to confer with me as to
what they wanted and what it was all
about. One Of them was Gambardt la,
great leader among the fishermen,
who informed me that they wanted 400
Bourbons whose names he had down in
list and handed to me (scorticarliJ. I
said: 'Gentlemen, pray sit down and let
US discuss the question. Now what do
you think Europe would say when it
hears that under the government of
Garibaldi and Gambardella 400 Bour-
bons have been killed.
But, my lord general says he,
do you not know the way in which We
have been treated? 1 myself have been
in prison and received 20 blows with a

Why, my FRIEND said, that is
the very point. For having committed
such like brutalities the government of
the Bourbons has fallen. And if we
initiated their example all we should
prove is that we ourselves are unworthy
Of liberty With these and similar
words succeeded in soothing their rage
and from that moment Gambardella
placed himself at the head of new
movement those days every one had
to be at the head of some movement
and was in the habit of making me his
counselor and acting according to my
advice. Garibaldi got to know him later
and liked him very much. But one
morning the poor man was stabbed in

An Old Aee,

Moralists and philosophers have done
their best, when they have themselves
reached that time of life, to eulogize
"old age" but they do not deceive even
the young. ('These old gentlemen, -
says youth with its callow cynicisn,
''are foxes who have lost their tails. y
They have done the same thing with
poverty, and with the, same ill success.
It has had no exhilarating effect upon
poor people. The reasons why old men
have written in praise Of old age are
not far to seek; they say with johnson,
'Do not let us discourage one another. :"
They are in for it, and they make the
best Of it. 1t is not we'll to cry sinking
fish. Moreover, there is a natural tend
ency among we'll principled persons to
make light of the ills of humanity
They fancy they are paying a compli-
ment to Providence, and perhaps even
conciliating it.
There are many old men who say,
and quite truthfully, that they would
not be young again if they could, but
what they mean is not, of course, that
they would not exchange weakness for
strength and disillusion for hope, but
that they have no desire to live their
lives over again. The clinging to exist
ence that we so often see in even very
old men does not arise from love of it.
Pope, sitting by Sir Godfrey Kneller's
deathbed and finding him much dispir-
tied, told him he had been a good man
and would doubtless go to heaven.
"Ah, my good friend, " was the deplor-
able but pathetic reply, II wish God
would let me stay at Whitton.' twas

ton that he had in his mind.

the artist on that occasion referred to
the success of his first picture of note,

"Where is the picture now?'' he was
