Dissipation by Machinery,

Dissipation by Machinery" is the
title of a recent article whose theme
holds that dissipation is a natural in
stinct, but that instead Of turning to
absinthe or opium, as of old, the mod
ern young man goes in for air-ships
and electrical devices. If the vogue for
this form of overflow of surplus energy
shall continue, it promises well for the
fast-growing class Of young men who
have no need to work, and to whom the
ordinary professions held out little
attraction. The nervous energy pro-
duced by American air must find some
vent, and If the newer generation of
men shall turn to automatic forms of
propellation, to Hquid-air machinery,
to electrical or chemical combinations
which shall turn wheels more rapidly
than they have ever before turned, the
world will be the gamer by just so
much, and the inventor be conscious
Of his required sensation. To wheel
around the Eiffel Tower seems certain
ly rs stimulating as to absorb absinthe
or opium and merely dream Of doing
It, and that is the form, scientists
pre- misc us, dissipation will take in the
future close at hand.-Harper' Week.

Tho Rawarh of VnInr.

We all know what happens when the
rich girl witnesses the poor chaps
valorous exploits-in books. Here's an
instance of the real article, as it grows
in, Gotham. Two Of the Gnilies men
toned a runaway the other day, giving
some half-dozen lines apiece, perhaps,
which likely enough nobody read. 1t
was comparatively Insignificant
thing. A has-been, who still, however
clings to his coach and pair but who
cnts small figure anywhere nowadays
and whose name means absolutely
nothing 10 the general reading public
in Manhattan, was in lower Fifth
avenue shop when his stolid old coach
man was reused from his accustomed
nap by the sudden veeriLg OF his
harses. With reins abour their heels
they dashed wildly through a cross
street, knocking down a man who tried
to head them off, to be stopped, how
ever, at the end of the block by a boy
Of perhaps sixteen or seventeen-a
butchers boy. He had taken in the
SltudtlOu al u SlhuCe, duu as l.S uTSt
would-be rescuer fell he jumped from
his cart and sprang for the flying rein
He caught II, and in a moment the
frightened horses and the white
aproned boy were sprawling on the
asphalt. Nobody was hurt, almost
nobody witnessed the accident, aud the
whole thing passed apparently unno.
ticed The driver soon recovered his
nerve and the butcher boy climbed
back into his wagon, clicked to his
horse and started off on his rounds
again. A certain young lady Of much
society note, however had happened to
turn the corner In time for the final
tableau.
Think Of It," she exclaimed TO her
companion, "such courage in q common

Uncle Sam's City.

Washington is the Capital of the Gov
capital of Washington. Uncle Sam
supports its people and furnishes them
with pocket money. The city's income
flows from the United States Treasury,
and the assets of the population are the
salaries of the civilian office holders
The Government could live without
Washington, but without the Govern
ment Washington would simply starve
TO death. From the National Treasury
flows a stream of wealth that Is divided
and sub-dlvided until it reaches every
hotel, boarding house, restaurant, sa-
loon, store, shop and place of business
and abode in the city.
Eight per cent. Of the population re-
ceives this money directly from tlc
Treasury and starts it on its course of
distribution. This eight per cent. is the
19,446 civil employees in the various
Government departments.
They have for distribution annually
SIS, 9,62S, ,505.72. On that the trade and
traffic of Washington is supported; on
that the butcher and baker and candle
stick maker thrive; by that sum earned
in the buildings of the Government the
other buildings Of the city are kept
filed with tenants.
This is the regular daily diet brought
to Washington by the army of civil
employees Of the Government; and, be.
sides this, the city has frequent des.
serts and annual feasts, for in addition
to the above about $3,OOO,OOO goes tc
ninety Senators and 357 Representa-,
tives and their highly paid subordin.
ates, and about S1.25O,OO0 to the Army
and Navy officials Of high rank and
equally high pay, who are frequently
in the city, where large sums out OF
their salaries are spent, to be added
to the regular monthly distribution oil

ALONE WITH HIS THOUGHTS.

Heart-weary Of the world and of its ways,
He longed to dwell apart, alone, some
where
To leave behind the greed of power, the
craze
For riches and the parvonu's displays
He longed to find some calm retreat, and
there
Alone with his high thoughts, pass all
his days.
He found, at last, the place he long had
sought,
Where rivalry and greed and want were
not,
And there, alone, far from the noise, he
tried
To win the sweet contentment he had
thought
To gain in dwelling where no other spoke
And where no fools with one another
We'd,
But, lonely, bowed ere long his sad heart
broke,
And on his way back to mems haunts
he died
The world spun as before, men hurried on
And never cared nor knew that he was
gone.
S f. Kiser.

Marble For a Tomb Gives Ont

The Government of Italy is erecting
4 magnificent monument in honor of
the late King Victor Emmanuel, "the
liberator of Italy" as they call him.
They have been working upon 1t for
twenty years already, and have spent
100000 francs, but when it can be fin
lshed is doubtful, because the quarry
from which the marble has been taken
has given out and thus far the engi-
peers have not been able to find any
other marble which matches it closely
enough to be used. This predieament
still exists, and work has been sus-
pended until further notice.-Chicago

A WONDERFUL CAVE.
Newly Discovered Natural Marvel at
Camp Cole, Missouri,

Camp Cole, Missouri,
There is cave near Cole camp,
lately brought to notice by the sink
ing of n shaft in the hunt for zinc
ore, which regard as one of the most
beautiful works of nature in all cave
formations The roof is twenty feet
high from floor to roof, circular in
shape, with a diameter of twenty-eight
feet The roof floor and sides are
lined with a fine grade of baryte tiff
they call 1t in the country, white as
snow, and on this white background
iron pyrites have seemingly been
sprlnkled in small particles, as though
put on with pepper box. Continual
contact with the water in the cave
gives the pyrlte the appearance Of
FURNISHED gold. From the roof hangs
great long calcite stalactites, with
highly polished surfaces and colored
to perfection. From the floor have
grown stalagmites of the same color,
character and appearance, but with
this difference--each one of the stalag-
mites is tipped with a beautiful cube
of lead, as clean and bright as If just
made. This cube Of lead, placed as 1t
is, so bright and fresh to mind, is the
strongest proof Of the present growth
OF lead that have ever seen, and i'm.
aglne it would be highly interesting to
scientific men. On the sides of this
cave there are panels Of lead that are
eighteen inches square. inserted, as it
were, in the baryte. How Thick, or
how far back the lead extends has not
yet been determined. The calcite for.
nations on the sides resemble in ap.
pearance the stalaclte, with this diff
ference, that they are pressed against
the sides very much after the manner
one has of crossing the arms on the
breast.
The roof Of the cave is thirty-six feet
from the surface, and Is one Of the
most gorgeous sights have ever seen
under a bright light. The owners of
the property are to pump the water
out next week, and with some geOlo.

Some thirty years ago, when Man

a struggling village Of ishermens huts,
there lived in a fine stone mansion,
well back from the surf and among the
timbers that have since been cut away
to make place for the villas of rich
summer residents, a French-American
family Of great wealth, whose name
was Lapere. The only child Of this
house was a daughter, Angela, then
rollicking with the innocent exuberance
OF sixteen years of perpetual June.
Doubtless she was very beautiful; per.

In the world, down from the street
level where it stood before the fire into

thirty-five years; his name is over the

the handrail that leads to his subter-

weather-beaten showcase which for at
least ten years has changed as little

Into his place to have shoes made or
