No Need Of Congressional Action on
Carnegie Institute.
Washington, Jan. 14.-It is stated by
one of the incorporators and trustees
of the Carnegie institute that no rea-
son is perceived at present for any
congressional or governmental action
in connection with that educational
scheme. AS it stands the institution
is like any other private corporation.
Therefore, it is held, there can be nc
question as to the propriety of it's hold
ing any class of securities, whether
steel bonds or United States govern
ment bonds, as the basis of it's endow-
ment.
This statement is believed to indi-
cate Mr.. Carnegie's purpose to place
his bequest in the shape of United
States Steel securities as originally in
tended.

How may fhis form OF nervousness

be cured? BY the aid OF friend, at

The assistance of another person is nee
essary because the movements which IT
is desired to overcome are made auto
matically-that is. unconsciously. When
you have been caught in the act sew
eral times the mind, OF itself, will begin
to detect the fault. and after that it is
simply question whether the will can
forestall conscious inclination. The de-
sire to make such movements may be
permanently overcome by sitting or
standing perfectly motionless for short
intervals two or three times daily for a
month or two. For example. take
standing position. with the feet almost
az right angles, one slightly advanced.

able to stand or sit as motionless as

:. :. NAVY TREES :. :.

Secretary Moody, the new head OF the
Navy Department, has planted tree on
the lawn in front of the State Depart
ment building. The custom of having
prominent officials plant memorial trees
to the grove which will in the future
surround the building originated in the
teeming brain of Superintendent Baird,
whose notion has found ready and gra-
cious acquiescence in the officials them
selves. The planting of tree by Sec
retary is quite an informal affair. being
without ceremony. though usually at
tracing considerable attention from the
clerks in the building who are acquaint-
cd with Captain Balrd's hobby. Each
tree thus planted has attached to it n
brass tablet setting forth the name of its
planter and the date of
planting.
Superintendent taird conceived the no.
tion of having memorial trees thus con-
tributed to the grove with which he in
tends TO adorn the lawn around the
building, about two years ago. Secre-
tary Root. who is a lover OF trees and
flowers, planted double Towering
cherry tree In the north lawn OF the
building. Following him. trees were
planted by Secretaries Hay and Long;
Assistant Secretaries Hill, Adee. Grid
Ter. .Hackett. and Sanger. Trees have been
also planted by Generals Corbin and
Admiral Crowninshield, and
Captain Lemly. Only a few days ago
trees we're planted by Assistant Secre-
taries Darling and Peirce and Rear Ad-
niral Taylor.
