GENEROUS CARNEGIE.

1t is rare day that does not witness
wise and generous deed at the hands
of Andrew Carnegie. 1t is generally a
large gift of money for public laarary
purposes, for this is Mr.. Carnegie's
special line of benefcence. Withit. the
past few weeks five such benefac,ions
have come to public knowledge. the
total amounts promised being net less
than 100000. OF this. s1,75H, 900
was the enlargement of the Cars gie
library in Pittsburg, an institution to
which Mr.. Carnegie had already con-
tributed several millions. The addi-
tional sum, it is said. will max. the
library three and one-half times larg-
er than originally intended, and the
largest and most magnificent building
of its kind in the world. In addition to
its use as library, the building will
have departments devoted to the pro-
motion of science, music, art and liter
ature. The four other library Gifts
mentioned included one of S5O,OH) to
the city of Duluth, Wis; $4,000 t. the
city of Tyrone, Pa; $125,0O0 to the
Polytechnic Library Society, Of Louis
vile, KY, and $4,000 to Tucson, .Ariz.
All these donations were accompanied
with the condition that the cities thus
favored should furnish certain sums
of money for the regular maintenance
Of the library.

Earthuuake-proof Buildings.

The only buildings in the world
which are earthquake proof are the
Japanese pagodas. There are many
which are 700 or 800 years old, and as
solid as when first built. The reason
lies in their construction. A pagoda
is practically framework of heavy
timbers, which starts from wide base
and is in itself a substantial structure,
but is rendered still more stable by a
peculiar device. Inside the framework
and suspended from TIE apex is long,
heavy beam of timber, two feet thick
or more This hangs from one end OF
the four sides, four more heavy tim
bers, and if the pagoda be very lofty
still more timbers are added to these
The whole forms an enormous pendu-
lum, which recedes within six feet OF
the ground. When the shock OF an
earthquake rocks the pagoda the pen
dulum swings in unison, and keeps the
center of gravity always at the base
of the framework. Consequently the
equilibrium of the pagoda is never dis
turbed.

fight! Fortunately the generals
horse soon carried him cut OF range.
Forests biographer relates that once
at dinner party, where he had been
invited as the guest OF homer, there
was a loqaacious widow, with hair OF
raven black, who rudely interrupted
the conversation by asking Gen. For
rest why 1t was that his beard was
still black, while his hair was turning
gray. With great politeness he turned
toward her. II fear cannot give you a
satisfactory answer" said he, unless.
possibly, the reason is that have used
my brain little more than l have my
Jaw. In the midst OF one OF his cam
paigns captured federal chaplain was
brought to his headquarters. The man
showed the deepest anxiety and de-
preston. for stories of Gen. Forests
severity were rife in the union camp.
A little later supper was announced,
and Forrest, to the, chaplain's surprise,
invited him to share 1t; but his sur
prise grew to amazement when the
general turned to him and reveren-
TALLY said .Parson. will you please
ask the blessing?" The next morning
Forrest courteously gave him an es-
cort through the confederate lines, for
he wished no non-combatants for pris-
oners. and babe him goodby with the
remark: "Parson, would keep you
here to preach for me, If you weren't
needed SO much more by the sinners Oh
the other side.''

MINNIE STURM.

When a raid on nelghboring cellars

full there in the rendezvous, it was
Minimize Sturm minnie Brotherton)
who cooked the viands over fire OF
logs. But the band became too daring
The hand of the law seized them. Some
were imprisoned and the others scat
tered. Minnie Brotherton promised to
mend her ways and the lenient author
tiles let her go her way. For short
time she lived quietly, but not con-
tentedly, in the old house. A few
months later she married Valentine
Sturm of Norwalk and went to live
with the family of her husband. Her
stay there was remarkably short.
Seven months after she left him, and
in the winter of 1893 applied to the
Selectman of Norwalk for support. She
was sent to the Town Farm. Even
there she showed her wild tendencies
She fell in love with pauper, Jim"
Collins. gray-bearded man with a
wooden leg. One day they eloped from
the Almshouse, and for several days
there was no trace of them. Then Col
Inns limped back to the institution and
was restored to his former place, but
the wild Rose" had no love for life in
an Almshouse. and she soon found a
companion in Howard Dauchy. A few
days ago Dauchy and the wild Rose
entered the Norwalk Selectman's Office
and applied for admission to the Poor
house. Instead of accommoe a.ing
them the Selectman notified Sturm,
who preferred charge against his
wife. 1t was learned, too, that they
had borrowed a horse and wagnr. to
drive to the Town Clerks Office say
ing they wished to get marriage H.

returned. and charge of horse theft
was made. The Wild Roses" tndig-
nation was aroused. She first plead

never see that horse again!" the wild
Rose" exclaimed. "I'll go to Jail and
stay there" And she did.
