CROMWELL He was Immersed in the authors OF
the time, as his notebooks show. The form that
his own work should take was still problem to
him. Must it," he wrote of this projected
book. "be sketches of English character gener-
ally during the Commonwealth containing por-
traits of Milton Cromwell, Fox. Hyde. etc. in
the manner of De Stael's 'Alemagne? The
spirit is willing. but an the flesh" Soon
after he proposed Ito come out with kind of
essay on the Civil Wars and the Commonwealth

but to exhibit, if | can. some features of the ma

porting my remarks by mental portraits drawn
with my best ability, of Cromwell. Laud George
Fox, Milton. Hyde. etc, the most distinguished
Of the actors in that great scene" Twenty years
later Carlyle set to work upon the writing of
this book For a time he adhered to his original
plan. but his deep reading in the literature Of
the period had drawn him more and more to the
exclusive contemplation of Cromwell and after
writing a certain number of chapters. he dis
carded them all and devoted himself to the

. Dogs Meet the Train.

The oriental express, the famous
train from Paris. to Constantinople, ar
rives at the Turkish capital three times
week at a certain hour in the after
noon. When the train comes in, says
an exchange, there are always many
dogs ready to receive it. Before the
passengers have had time to get out,
the dogs jump into the carriages and
search everywhere under the seats. and
in corners for the scraps of luncheon
left by the passengers, and when they
have found all the pieces they go away
The remarkable thing is that they
never come at any time except when
the oriental express is due; that they
never make a mistake in the day, and
always remember that between Friday
and Monday there are two days and
not one. They pay no attention to
local trains, because little or no food
is left in them, owing to the short rides
the passengers take Exactly the same

IRON GRAVEYARDs.
Proposals Asked In This Country to
Build One In venexue1n That
VIII Hold q, 900 Bodies.

The iron manufacturers of Pennsy1-
vania have been asked, through the
medium of the National Association Of
Manufacturers to submit proposals to
the government of Venezuela for an
iron graveyard in which to renter 25,-
600 bodies. The proposal is novel with
iron industries of this state, although
there are few iron cemeteries in the
southern cities, says the New York
Sun. -
The graveyards, particularly in Car
acas, heretofore have been built of
stone, but these have proved unsatis-
factory. They were not waterproof
They could not be made so; at least the
skill of the average Venezuelan failed
in this direction. When the Venezu-
clans came to look into the wonders on
display in the Manufacturers associa-
TONS sample warehouse at Caracas
they decided that American ingenuity
would solve the problem of the proper
care of the dead. The water persisted
in percolating through the rock bar
riers. These were as costly as they
were insufficient.
T. The Venezuelans have become tired
of building stone graveyards. They
have been erected at great expense of
marble and granite, and it is believed
that iron will answer every purpose.
But it must be made waterproof, and
Mr. Nagle. of the Manufacturers asso-
citation. said to-day he did not doubt
that Pennsylvania mechanics could fur
nish a structure that would answer
every purpose.
