following annecdote of Beau Brum-

The dandy's dress consisted of blue

fashion to wear a deep, stiff white
cravat, which prevented you from
seeing your boots while standing.
All the world watched Brummel to

MUNICIPAL ART.
Beauty Should Not BE Overlooked In
Public improvements.

PuDjIC improvements.
The ArchitectutuI League of New York
lately devoted an important meeting
to the discussion of the planning of
cities. and the National SculptorS' soci-
ETY. has in like manner treated the en-
bellishment of public places, with in
tcresting suggestions for the beautiti-
cation of rectangular street intersec-
lions. 1t is to the voluntary activity
of the most prominent members of this
latter society that we owe the creation
of the Dewey arch and cOlOnnade, a
most important achievement in munic-
ipal art. In fact, most of the decora-
tons of the Dewey festival in New
York were examples Of municipal art
in the highest sense, the public moneys
being turned over to the artists.
New York's latest and greatest
achievement in municipal art is the
new appellate court building. In this
building the estimates of the archi-
tect, James Brown Lord, originally
made large Experimentation
$215.000-for sculptural and pictorial
ndornments. The exterior is built in
the classic style and is richly decorated
with groups and statues by French,
Karl Bitter and other prominent sculp-
tors. The main hall and the court
room have walnscOting and pilasters Of
golden Siena marble, and the walls are
covered with representations Of Law.
Justice and similar subjects.
Such achievements should be shining
and to the city of Chicago, says George
Kriehn in Chicago Record. The ex.
perence of New York, however,
teaches us what to avoid as well as
what to initiate. We can see that the
most effective activity does not con-
sist in spending large sums of money
to erect great works of art, but in agi-
tation, in holding competitions, in
pointing the way. 1t is also evident
that the greatest works of public art
must be paid for by the city govern,
ment. Municipal art societies should
therefore keep in closest touch with all
public improvements and see that the
ideal Of beauty Is never forgotten. Our
artists, too, might profit from the eX-
ample of their brethren in erecting the
Dewey arch. Even now the sanitary
canal commission Is anxious to have
the Municipal Art league appoint an
architect to cooperate with the en-
gineers in making the new bridges
beautiful as we'll as useful. Soon a
new city hall will be built. and per
haps building for the board of edu-
cation. Then will be our chance to

WHAT ARE VOLCANOES2
They Are Not Burning Mountains ms
We Understnnd That Term.

what are volcanoes!
Nine out of every ten persons would
Immediately have an answer of some
sort to the question above, for have
they not n lively remembrance of hav-
ing learned in their schoolbooks that
"a volcano is n burning mountain. from
the summit of which are sent out smoke
and hames?" This popular fancy has
been exploded by scientists. whose
work is to explode popular fancies.
In the first place. volcanoes are not
necessarily mountains. In reality they
are just the reverse-that is, holes in
the earth's crust. Out of these are
thrown the materials which, accumu-
lating. form the heaps which we popu-
larly call mountains.
These are. then. the result and not
the cause of the action. Neither are
they burning" as we understand the
term. There is no combustion, nor any
action we might reasonably call burn
ing"
The action need not necessarily take
place at the summit, for eruptiOns are
just as frequent at the sides or even
at the base. The so called smoke" is
nothing more or less than the clouds
of condensing steam which are formed
on every OCCASION when an eruption oc-
ours.
Lastly. the flames" so called. are
merely the reflection of the mass of
molten rock and material inside the
crater on the clouds of steam above.

friction. too. set up by the motion of
the materials causes electricity. and
hence the lightning discharges which

WAYS OF ADVERTISING.
Much Time and Money Wasted In
Useless Publicity Schemes.

Useless Publicity schemes.
The Chambcrsburg paD opinion tells
some truths about advertising, albeit
it is trifle sarcastic, when it says:
If you have goods to sell, advertise
them. Hire a man with a lampblack
kettle and brush to paint your name
and number on all the railroad fences.
The cars go whizzing by so fast that
no one can read them, to be sure, but
perhaps the conductor will be obliging
enough to stop the train for inquisitive
passengers.
Have your card on the hotel register
by all means. Strangers stopping at
the hotel for the night generally buy a
cigar before leaving town and need
some inspiring literary food besides.
If an advertising agent wants to ad-
vertsc your business in fancy frame
at the depot, pay him about 200 per
cent more than it is worth and let him
put 1t there. When man has three
quarters of n second in which to catch
train. he invariably stops to read
depot advertisements, and your card
might take his eye.
OF course the street thermometer
dodge is excellent. When mans fin
gers are freezing or he is putting,
''phewing" at the heat, is the time
above all others when he reads a Their
mometer advertisement.
Print in the blacklist ink great,
sprawling card on all your wrapping
paper. Ladies' returning home from a
shopping tour like to be walking bull
letn, and if the ink rubs off and spols
some of their tinery no matter.
Don't fail to advertise in every circus
programme. 1t will help the circus to
pay its bills. and the visitors can re-
lieve the tedium of the clowns jokes
by looking over your remarks about
40 per cent below cost" etc.
A boy with big placard on pole is
nm interesting object on the street and
lends dlgnlfied air to the establish
ment. Hire n couple.
PatrOniZing every agent who shows
you an advertising tablet and card, d.
rectory, dictionary or even an adver-
Using Bible. If one is offered at a rea-
sOnable price, shows that you know
where to invest your money.
But don't think Of advertising in n

with the voice of the storm, inspire Us TO
that frame OF mind which the poet must
have had when he sung
"Riss, my soul, and stretch thy wings;
Thy better portion trace;
r Sc from transitory things,
Toward heaven. thy native place;
Sun and moon and stars decay;
Time shall soon this earth remove;
Rise, my soul, and haste away
To seats prepared above"
The remainder OF the sermon was de-
voted TO the fact of Gods faJherly love.
In conclusion, the speaker said: Ito
save us from impending ruin, God, in
his love, often dashes TO Earth our fond
est hopes. With our aft ctions set on
the ingS of earth, and our hearts alb
sol bed in the works of our hands, we
of en- stand in periiou5 positions. The
things o. this world lead us away from
Gvd, and every step from him brings us
closer to the brink of eternal ruin.
Worldly ambition has lured many a map
to dangerous hei hts, for whose saliva
ton, God has dashed TO earth his fond
est hopes. With the LABOR of our hands
we have piled up our glittering gold
and with our aft ction set upon it, and
our hearts absorbed in . we have been
very near the brink of ruin. But send
ing the storm of adyersi y, God has
swept it away for the purpose OF saving
us and bringing closer to himself.
Oh, but for our Affections, 90 not
know what would have become of us.
Though hard 10 bear at the time, yet as
we look back upon them we recogn re
them as the messengers of Gods love.
Every afil from his hand is but to
arrest us in the road to ruin, and turn
us in the way that leads to heaven.
In the mystery of his prov .donce let
us read the sson of his love. We are
not to stay here always; this word is
not our rest. There is a divini y that
irs within us that seeks its kindred in
the skies. To those heights God would
lift our heart, and direct our thoughts.
By the storms of life he would remind
us of the I'm of heaven. He wants
our homage, he wants our worship, he
wants our love, he wants our hearts
Putting our hand in his let us follow his
leading The end will be peace and
JOY and rest. And when from the other
shore we lock back upon the storms OF
life we will find them but the chariots
OF God sent in his love and mercy to
take US home"

so appropriate, so forceful and strong that
it should have been heard by all the peo-

sit is said that the nest of the eagle is
a rather rude affair, constructed of
sticks inartstically arranged. But
lined and padded, as it is, with soft
grass, it becomes quite a snug and coy
habitation. When the time comes for
the young birds to quit their contracted
sphere, and soar aloft in the element for
which their natures fit them, it some
times happens that they shrink from the
effort, preferrlng the ease and comfort
of the nest. The old bird, knowing
what they ought to do, tries to persuade
them to it. When persuasion fails, she
resorts to severer means; She stirreth
up the nest If they are still obstinate,
she will break away the props, and up
set the whole concern, so that they must
either fall or get on the wing and rise.
Nov, in all this we learn something
of ourselves, and how God is often
forced to deal with US, and the reason

rest of the nest, we find ourselves in this

animals. We are creatures of two
worlds We are not to live along this
dark and lower level seeking only the
gratifica ton of the carnal, but giving
wings to the divinity which stirs within
us, we are to rise to spiritual realms, and
live in communion with God. To this
end our Heavenly Father tries to
persuade us. He appeals to US as free
moral agents to rise to the dignity of our
nature. He speaks to us through his
word, telling US to set our affections or
things above, and not on the things that
are on the earth. He sends the Holy
Spirit to strive with us. Through ser
