Benjamin Franklin was dining with
a small party OF distinguished gentle
men in Paris. when one OF them said:
Three nationalities are represented
here this evening. / am French, my
friend Is English. and Mr.. Franklin Is
an American. Let each of us propose
a toast" 1t was agreed to, AMI the
Englishman, who was accorded first
honors. arose. and in the tone of o
Briton. boldly said: Here's to Great
Britain. the SUI that gives light to all
nations of the earth" The French
man was rather taken aback at this
says the Argonaut, but he proposed:
Here's to France. the moon whose
magic rays move the tides of the
world" Franklin then arose, with an
air of quaint modesty. and said:
Here's to our beloved George Wash
ington. the Joshua OF America, who
commanded the sur and moon to
stand still-and they obeyed."

the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. He had
original and logical ideas about that
instrument. He was opposed to the
original draft and made his opposition
felt both in and out Of executive ses-
sion. 1t would take a long time for
Beveridge to overcome the impressions
he created Immediately after his first
advent in Washington. The older SEN
ators will hardly forgive him for the
course he pursued during the first ses-
sion of the fifty-sixth congress. This
was indicated about ten days ago when
the number Of the leaders Of the Re-
publican majority got together one
night for a conference on the Hay
Pauncefote treaty. They assembled at
a somewhat later hour than had been
originally fixed and Senator Frye was
the last member OF the conference to
arrive. AS he entered the room where
the meeting vas to be held and glanced
around at his dignified associates he
caused a ripple of laughter by gravely
asking, What, has not the leader OF
the senate arrived? Really, l can not
see how we can proceed to transact
business" He mentioned no name
but everybody understood who he
meant.

Mr.. Lawson is a New Englander by
birth and a %Southerner by descent. He
is In line from John Lawson, first sur
veyor-general of North Carolina in the
province period, who came over from
England in or about 100, roamed
about the country in the pursuit Of his
calling, came much in contact with the
Indians and wrote a book on the Car
olinas, which was published in Lon
don. Three of Mr.. Lawson's uncles
we're Episcopal clergymen, and he was
reared in the Episcopal faith.
MI. Lawson's love of flowers and
knowledge of them Is one of his nota-
BILE characteristics. The story of his
$780, 900 pink" has travelled the coun-
try. For four years before this partic-
ular carnation flower, Mr.. Lawson was
the purchaser Of all that were grown,
buying for his wife first when she was
an invalid. Upon her recovery 1t was
used largely in dinner table decora-
tions, and in vases in their several
homes. At length, out of compliment
to his wife, 1t was given her name

Sir Thomas Drew's appointment az
president Of the Royal Hibernian
Academy has awakened again the talk
about the neglect Of art in Ireland.
Like everything else. r must be
pecuniarily supported, or it dies a
natural death. Art in Ireland Is not
countenanced either by government or
by the wealthy, with the result that an
artist finds 1t hard to make out a liv-
ing. II an Irish artist wishes to live
a little better than a peasant. he has
to transfer his quarters to London,
where patrons abound. II they are not
always to be caught. Architects are In
much the same position. likewise
sculptors. Calculating the muses. on q
few potatoes is picturesque, but moi
paying. Scotland is not in a much bet
ter position than Ireland, as in both
countries genius and talent are starved
into mediocrity.

One day in the spring OF 1884 Mrs.
Frederick White Of Coventry, N. Y,
asked her husband to bring her a
sack of flour from a nearby store. He
started to do so and that was the last
she saw of him until one day last
week, when he walked into the house
with a sack of flour on his shoulder,
saying as he set it down that he had
not forgotten his errand. He has been
in the far west, has accumulated a
good deal of money and will take Mrs.
White to his western home.

The Arch.vlst of Hanover has just
come across a curious relic of tbs
Seven Years War. 1t Is a receipt given
to a Hanoverian captain by a canon oil
Duisburg. The captain had learned
that this ecclesiastic had been max
ing in public reflections on the Han
overian army and the patriotic officer
determined to punish the offence in the
most expeditions manner-viz., by
sending an adjutant forthwith to adj
minister to the canon fifty blows with
a stick. The officer faithfully carried
out his instructions. and the document
which the Archivist of Hanover has
just unearthed is a receipt duly drawn
up and signed by the canon admitting
that he had received the fifty strokes
from a stick an inoh thick for his
stupid and frivolous calumnie,
against the regiment of Chasseurs."

One of the important industries OF
Minnesota Is numbering, and the work
lof gathering the timber harvest and
bringing 1t to market affords employ
ment for thousands upon thousands Of
people.
The first step is to cut down the
trees, which average $50 years of age.
The cutting is generally done by means
iof cross-cut saws about six feet long,
operated by two men. As soon as the
tree has fallen. the branches are trim
med from the trunk, and the tree Is
cut into sections of convenient length,
ranging from 10 to 80 or more feet, ac-
cording to the uses to which the lum-
Der to be cut from the tree is to be
put. These sections of trees are hauled
through the woods on low sleds, called
~"go-devils," that deliver the logs at a
common dumping ground, where they
are pulled up on railroad cars by means
of inclined frameworks called skid
