ENTERING THE CAPITOL.
Strangers Are Easily DistinEuished
by the Way They Ascend
the steps.

"When you see man or woman
climbing the steps to the west front of
the capitol you may bet he or she is a
stranger in Washington" said an old
attache of the national capitol build
ing, according to the Washington Star.
"Ninety-nine out of 100 persons who
enter the capitol from, the west are
persons who are paying their first visit
to the building; depend upon it. After
they are here awhile they will make
the pilgrimage by car and land them
selves around on the east side, and thus
escape climbing SO many steps. Strang-
ers invariably think the west side of
the capitol is the front.
Sat the last session of congress no.
ticed one day man enter the corrid or
putting and blowing and trying to catch
his breath. When he cooled off suf-
ficientlyto talk corherently he gasped:
"'Will you direct me to the house of
representatives?
81 did so, and he passed on. The next
day saw him enter from the east side
with a western congressman. The fell
low was perfectly passive, and seemed
pleased that he had found the easiest
way of getting to the capitol. 1t was
evident that the trip to the capitol had
been made in a street car which landed
him on the HILL and that the congress
man had put him on"

SUICIDE IN SIBERIA.
When Once Wish to Die Is An
nOunced There Is No Such Thing
as Taking 1t Back.

KNOW OF case where a man, after
violent quarrel with his five sons, an
nounced aloud his wish to die. The
next morning he thought better of it
and retracted his words; but-so Twas
informed, in all seriousness-the re-
vengeful spirits shortly afterward in
| nlcted the hoof disease on his herd, and
took away three of his sons, one after
another, says writer in Harper's.
Usually, however, the man who has
proclaimed his wish to die remains
nrm until the end. met, in 1895. at the
ANU fair in the Kolyma country, a
man by the name of Katik, who said
tnat he wanted to get rid of the
troubles of this world.
de had no apparent illness, but his
zest for life had completely vanished.
and he intended to start for the land
OF MS forefathers. He was as eager
Tor death as if it meant for him a
pleasant journey to distant but very
interesting country.
The vicinity of the Russian fort was
no place for the fulfllment of his wish.
so ne had to delay it for a couple of
months; but when next I met Kaf1k's
wlte. early in the fall, she was already
a widow.
ohe told me the details of her hus-
oand's death in very simple way. He
was strangled with a lasso. She held
MS mead IN her lap, and two of his sons
pulled the ends of the rope
hatlk's wife told ME also that he was
cheerful to the last, and even ioked
the very moment his face was being
covered with the hood of the death
coat to prevent those present from see
ing his last struggle.

PRACTICAL FARM GATE.
II Combines Strength and Durnhu-
ity with the Further Advantage
of Light Handling.

Good. durable, practical gates at
entrances to fields, lanes and lots, are
among the greatest conveniences on
the farm. Do not put up weak make
shifts. Make them strong and solid
and properly hung, SO that it is a pleas
ure to open and shut them. Not long
ago neighbor lost a valuable cow by
means of poor gate. In her effort to
reach green grass over the gate it
broke down, and her leg was broken.
She had to be killed, and as she was
only in fair milking condition, it was a
total loss. If he had had a strong. sub
stantial gate he would have been $50

PROTECTING THE BIRDS.
England Is Far Ahead of America in
Preventing Ravages on the
SOngsterS.

The protection of birds has been
carried so far in England that fruit
growers and farmers are complaining
bitterly of the ravages of thrushes,
blackbirds and bullfinches. These
winged beauties work great mischief
in gardens and orchards, says the New
York Tribune.
American readers of British books
recall with pleasure vivid descriptions
of the diversion of shooting young
rocks in the early spring with short
range, smal-bore rifles, and of the
succulence of the young rock pies
cooked by experts. But itnow appears
that the English rocks have not been
thinned out with sufficient thorough
ness, and these birds do harm to va
rious farm crops.
East of the Mississippi in most of the
states north of the Potomac and the
Ohio the protection of birds of every
kind has been much underdone We
have no rocks or ravens here, but it is
certain we don't protect our winged
friends as we ought to protect them.

A SOLID FARM GATE.

ahead, and that would have put up ten
good gates.
The gate photographed was made
six or seven years ago, at the entrance
to the barnyard. We combined two
objects in this gate strength and dur
ability, and hghtness to handle. We
have deep SHOWS and snowdriftS, and
we hung the gate so that it could be
raised up to pass over the snow. The
half feet high. For the gate pieces we
used six-inch Eastwood, well seasoned.
The ends and center strips are three
inches, made out of the same kind of
wood The first, third and filth strips
from the bottom we allowed to project
out to hold the gate in place. In case
hogs are turned into the yard the bot
tom piece holds them from pushing and
straining the gate. The hangers are
of our own get-up and seem to answer
the purpose in every respect. In max
ing the hangers we use wagon tire two
inches wide and about two and a half
feet long. The iron was heated and
bent in the shape of rub iron on a
wagon-box, only allowing two or more
inches in the side turn to permit the
gate to swing. The hangers are
fastened to the post with four-inch
wood screws. This gate has now been
in use several years and is as sound as
ever; we have another gate made of
Eastwood that has been constructed

Waiter.

The career of a social lion hunter is
liable to be attended with an occa-
sional disappointment, even though on
the whole successful. Burton Holmes,
on some of his tours as a lecturer, has
been considerably lionized, and hetells
this story of compliment which he
missed, but which was enjoyed by an
other, says the New York Times. He
was lecturing in an eastern city, and a
reception was given in his honor at the
principal hotel of the place.
Among those who attended this re-
ception was woman prominent social
ly. who has established a sort of
salon." and received her friends Sun
day afternoons. trying to provide a
lion" or two for each occasion.
Burton Holmes was so fortunate as
not to be presented to the fair lion
hunter, but she presented herself to
the man she had stalked for her game,
and urged upon him her invitation for
the Sunday afternoon. He very mod
estly attempted to decline it. His ex-
cuses were not accepted, and the vic
tim consented to appear. Extra ar
engagements were made for this occa
sion, and the fact that Mr.. Holmes was
TO be there was heralded abroad. On
the day all the youth and beauty of the
place gathered together awaiting the
advent of a somewhat tardy lion, who
was received with every mark of con-
slderatlOn, and appeared to be en-
barrassed thereby. The head waiter
had been mistaken for the eminent lee
turer.

where RicheIieu Is Buried.

Although a stern edict has gone
forth to no longer bottle up the new
wine of science and letters in the old
receptacle of Richelieu, even official
iconoclasts have spared the familiar
dome which covers the great cardi-
nails tomb. The new Sorbonne, how
ever elaborate, would hardly be the
Sorbonne at all without Richelieu's
splendid chapel as it's heart. Students
and professors no longer have to
bow before the altar. and no Sor-
bonnie doctors fill the pulpit, but
who so chooses can enter and either
find a service, or at least view the
beautiful sarcOphagus beneath which
lies the dust of the great Armand
Jean du Plessis himself, in the midst
of the institution he buiIded anew.
lavishing the millions of his private
fortune thereon, and even mortgag-
ing the estate of his heirs. Above
the tomb has in recent years been
suspended his carefully preserved
cardinals hat, while the head itself.
savagely severed when the tomb was
violated in 1893, has also been mirac-
ulously recovered and replaced on
the embalmed remains. Even the
tomb itself was carted away and kept
for many years at the museum.
