The senate's Solid Mahogany.

Washington Star,
solid mahogany" Is a term that Is
very deceptive when 1t is applied literally
to mahogany furniture that is CONNER
cially sold" The furniture which adorns
the Senate Chamber Is very heavy and
massive in its effect, and is known as
solid mahogany But the fact is 1t Is
not solid in the sense that the word APP
peals to the minds of most people. who
think of solid as meaning single pieces
Of wood. The heavy mahogany furniture
Of the Senate Chamber Is made up OF nu-
merous strips of wood, seasoned and put
together so that the force of any further
shrinkage will be exerted in a way that
one of piece of the wood will counterfeit
the shrinkage of another piece. 1t Is de-
clared that were the furniture made OF
single pieces of mahogany no seasoning
in tho world would prevent 1t from
warping.

sPECTACLEs FOR SOLDIERS.


In Europe.
Because of the necessity of making
the soldier a good marksman the army
regulations in Continental Europe have
allowed the use of spectacles. 1t is
strange logic however, that sees in this
a proof of national degeneration. 1t Is,
i'm fact the reverse. because ii shows
that we are at last becoming aware of
the stupidity of the prejudice against
spectacles, and that is is easy by their
use to make a good and useful soldier
of one who, by reason of bad vision,
was a Door solder because he shot at
random instead of with precision. That
it is evidence of ocular degeneration IN
the nation or race there is not paru-
Gle of scientific or statistical evidence.
Ametropia, which causes amblyopia, Is
probably decreasing with the progress
Of civilization. n
Civilization makes us need glasses
more because we need to see better not
because the eye is poorer than it was,

that his trainmen feared to use them,

A PRINCES EDUCATION.
One Thing That Little Edward OF
York Rebelled Against But
Had to Learn.

The present idol of the British pub
lie is Prince Edward of York, eldest
son of the duke of York, grandson of
the prince of Wales, great-grandson of
Queen Victoria, and heir in the direct
line of the crown of Great Britain.
Prince Edward, having been born on
June 20, 1894, is now well into his sixth
year, and regards himself as quite a
big boy, says Youths Companion.
His brother Albert is year younger,
and the two princes have had, perhaps,
their share, but no more, of brotherly
scraps" The duke of York is said
not to have interfered with their small
wars, saying that to "let them fight it
out will make them better men," But
he has interfered successfully with an
other weakness of Prince Edward.
1t is customary for the royal chill
dren, in meeting the queen, to kiss her
hand and not her cheek; but Prince
Edward did not like to do this, and OBJ
jected strenuously. One day he heard
some one speak of ''her majesty"
81 know who her majesty is" said
he; ''it's just granny"
"And who was the naughty little
prince who would not kiss granny's
hand?"
"That was me-" said Prince Edward,
unabashed, land I'm not going to kiss
granny's hand!"
But when he had arrived at the age
of five he felt himself quite man, and
began to do as other men did-kissed
the queens hand and always dotted his
cap in her presence.

A SPINNING GHOST.
Upon Investigation Proved to Be q
Rat Enjoying a Run Around

On the post road in southern New
Hampshire stands an old house which
was once famous for it's ghost. 1t
had been q tavern, owned and man
aged by two brothers and two sis
tiers named Mason, relates the
Youths Companion.
The youngest of the family, Han
nah, had been Tilted in her youth.
After her desertion she never entered
any door save that of her own home,
but gave all her strength to hard
work. She would hatchel flax for
weeks, spin increasingly and weave
on hand loom, without apparently
thought Of rest.
She died after short illness, and
still travellers said that their slum.
bers were disturbed by the whir OF
the wheel Soon it was whispered
about that the Mason house was
haunted. Strange sounds were heard
from the garnet where Hannah had
always worked, and plainest of all
was the hum of the great wool wheel.

at once set out to solve the mystery

KNEW AND WAS NOT AFRAID.
A Dying Mother Gains Courage for
Her Journey Away from Her
Little Daughter.

A touching and most unusual little
incident of young mother who was
hopelessly ill, but quite unconscious
OF her condition, is described by the
Boston Courier
One afternoon the physicians held
consultation, and afterward an
nounced to the husband and sister
of the patient the sad fact that she
had but short time to live.
1t was questioned whether it would
be advisable to tell the sick woman
or not. They talked the matter over
quite unmindful of little Edith, the
five-year-old child of the dying wom-
an, who was quietly playing with her
dolls, apparently unconscious of
what was going on about her.
In few minutes the little girl
left her toys, walked slowly up the
stairs and went directly to her
mothers room. With the aid of a
chair she climbed on the bed, kissed
her mothers pale cheek, and then
ssked her In low, tender tones:
Mamma, are you Paid to die2"
The mother was at first startled by
the question and asked: who told
you? Do they think"
"Oh, mamma, dear" murmured the
child, you needn't be 'f'aid at all.
Hold my hand tight; shut your eyes
close. will stay by you, and when
you wake up adam it will be all
right"
The eyes were closed, the hand
tightly clasped for few minutes,
and when, little later, the other
members of the family entered the
room the mother was quietly sleep
ing, and the child said:
II told mamma, and she was not
'f'aid to die"
The sick woman opened her eyes
and said: Yes, I know, and 1 am
not afraid"

Then the sun went down, and the
MOON round and red and hot, rose in

How the night passed he could hard

dream when haunting, cruel memories
tortured him. His wife, his boy, his
mother came to him, and when he
would have spoken and implored them
to help him they vanished away.
When morning dawned and the long
night was over, he found that the mare
was gone; Jess had deserted him and
had gone to look for water ON her own
account. 1t was his own fault, Of
course, and he wondered that q few
hours thirst should have demoralized

full loneliness, and he rose to his feet

going, he ran on and stood underneath
the wire that stretched away north
and south to civilization and home and
happiness.
He clapped his hands, he shouted
and his voice sounded hoarse and
strange, and then he prepared to walk
along the line; but the first station
might be "a hundred miles away. for all
he knew, and he could not walk ten.
His only course was to interrupt COM
munication and bring help.
But how?
There stretched the wire over his
head, out of his reach. The posts wero
stout and strong, but his head was in q
whirl, his knees felt weak, he knew he
could not climb up them. He took out
his knife; but the wood was hard as
iron. And then he bethought himself
OF his watch, and he used the glass as
a burning glass. 1t was tedious work,
and he was desperate with thirst; yet
before his eyes, in blurred lines, was
printed the announcement in the morn
ing's paper-in many morning papers
that telegraphic communication was
interrupted again somewhere north
of Baker Springs, and therefore we
have no cables from Europe this morn
ing" He was upsettins the news of
Australasia--and little curl of smoke
appeared beneath his glass.
At Baker Springs they understood it
all.
"Must be a lost man, bother him.
said Jack Cameron. ''There's been no
storm to bring down the posts, and the
niggers, bless 'em, however much they
fancy the insulators, aren't likely to be
between here and Conindie this dry
weather. 1t takes a white man to make
u fool of himself that way"
And at nightfall they found John
Weston, who had forgotten he was
John Weston, in his shirt, folding up
the rest of his clothes, which he found

cause he was convinced he must reach
