Thought Her a Vision.

In Life and Letters of Harriet
Beecher Stowe" Mrs. Fields relates an
anecdote illustrative of the peculiar
faculty Of Professor Stowe of seeing
visions. From early youth he had pos
sessed the singular power Of seeing
moving about him persons who could
not be perceived by others.
Mrs. Stowe, during her residence at
Andover, planned to so to Boston one
day on business. Making her prepara-
tons hurriedly, she babe the household
farewell, and rushed to the station,
only to see the train go out as she ar
rived. There was nothing to do but
return home and wait patiently for the
next train; but wishing not to be dis
turbed, she quietly oCened side door,
crept noiselessly up the staircase lead
ing to her own room, and sat down by
her writing table in the window.
She had been there about half an
hour when Professor Stowe came in.
looked about him with a preoccupied
air, but did not speak to her. She
thought his behavior strange, and
amused herself by watching him; at
last the. situation became so extraor-
binary that she began to laugh.
"Whyw he exclaimed, with a most
astonished air,"is that you? 1 thought
Il was one of my yisions!"

"Peace Of mind Is one OF the best

will be two electric American elevat-

building Is classic. and while different
in design from any Of the buildings at
the Chicago fair yet the feeling there
prevalent has been kept and will be In
marked contrast to the present French
buildings, which are not so architect

is under a large portico which spans
the esplanade, and under this every
visitor who walks to the other national
buildings will be obliged to pass. In
the center arch Of this portico, facing
the River Seine, will be French's
statue of Washington, while a bust of
President Mckinley will occupy a
niche over the door. In the front of
the building on the river bank will be
a boat landing which will be highly
ornamented as classic barge. All the
