CARNEGIE WON THE RACE.
His Opponent Stopped, but He Just
Kept On Running.

Kept on Running.
When Andrew Carnegies parents
first came to America from Scotland
they went to East Liverpool, Ohio, to
stay with some relatives. Their son
was about fourteen years OF age at the
time, and was an object of consider
able interest to the boys of the neigh
borhood. He made many friends
among them and after the family had
moved to Allegheny, Pa, often re
turned to East Liverpool to visit some
OF his playmates.
On one occasion, when he was six
teen, he went with one of his cousins
TO visit William and Michael Fisher.

from the town. The four boys spent

Fisher challenged Carnegie to q foot

The two boys started, and as An.

the chances all seemed against him.

down the slope the Fisher boy stopped,

To his surprise Carnegie continued his

After stopping to kiss his wife and
children he hurried into his library to

blue covers that smiled back at him
when he babe them goodbye. he locked

seemed begrimed with the dust OF
centuries. Without delay he called In
the maid and inquired into the aged
appearance of his pets.
What did you dust them within he
asked.
"A rag" said she.
Lets see IT," said the man.
The girl stalked haughtily toward
the rear of the apartment, whence she
presently returned wsh a cloth OF in.

"No wonder my books are ruined"
he said, 'if you have been grinding
dirt into them with that thing once or
twice a week. Why can't you girls
and library attendants in general learn
that no book should he touched with
a cloth that is not as soft as wool and
absolutely fresh and clean, and then
act upon the knowledge?"
The maid dangled the cloth indig-

said.

MoNoL1THs OF THE PAST.
Throw Those of the Present Ds
 Completely in the Shade,
J. THOS. HEFLIN.
 Secretary of State,

Throw Those of the Present Day
 Completely in the Shade.
 Some of your contemporaries have mar veled at the size of the monoliths which have recently arrived from the quarries to be placed on the great St. Johns Ca- thedral. writes John p. Bruce in the New York Tribune. Much has been said of their size. weight and the difficulty of getting them from their landing place to the cathedral. Some of the papers have by inference intimated that these are the largest monoliths ever turned out by the hand of man. But in this they are in error.
 King Amasis caused a monolith of CO., lossal size, a temple carved out of a sim gle block of stone to be constructed and placed in the city of Sais in Egypt. Before Americans knew what monoliths were. This monolith was wrought at Syene, whence comes the beautiful and compact Syenite granite The temple thus formed of solid rock was 1 cubits in length, IA in breadth and 8 in height. The Egyptian cubit is equivalent to English feet. This huge block of granite was conveyed to the capital of Amasis by the waters of the Nile, and employed 2.0O0 for three years. It will thus be seen that the "huge monoliths" for St. Johns are mere tooth picks compared with this enormous Egyp- tian mass of granite.
 This was one of the most extraordinary among the antiquities of Egypt, and it must be evident that the Egyptians were possessed of great mechanical power and engineering skill to place such huge masses of stone in their proper positions and to erect obelisks of such stupendous size. It was related by Herodotus that one of the Kings of Egypt, when his workmen were about erecting a huge obelisk, caused his son to be lashed to the top of 1t, and when the machinery was set in motion. bade them at their peril to be particularly careful that the monu- ment was not injured, as the life of his son would in that case be endangered. Sais, like Canopus, is now in ruins, and the remarkable monolith had been buried in the soil for ages until it was discov- cred years ago by some Europeans and found to be perfect.
 I merely cite this scrap of history to show that the Egyptians were far and away ahead of the American centuries before we came into existence, and that these "huge monoliths" about which we are hearing so much are not so very re- markable after all The tendency to brag Is an American characteristic, weak ness which Is perhaps pardonable. The ancient Egyptians, however, have left us examples in civil engineering and as builders of monuments upon which we shall hardly be able to improve. for the good and substantial reason that we don't know how But America is young yet, and as time grows old it may be able to do some of the remarkable things which have eternalized the name and fame of the ancient Egyptians, but not now.

Dearth of Invention shown In Nam-

 Higher Journalist in Harper's Weekly.
 50 far as we can observe a poverty or imagination bordering on Restitution christened it's great subdivisions from the first. New England, New France, New Span, New Netherlands; what could be cheaper than these names, with the sub seuuent calling of their nascent cities for the cities of the mother countries, unless 1t were the latter naming of them out Of the Holy Bible and the classical diction- arv? The poor Indian gave from his meager store for the same purpose, but the gift was not abundant enough to go round the towns and villages of a single province. When we think that lakes, rivers, mountains, capitals, cross roads, strets, steamboats, hotels. news papers, magazines, novels, churches, rall- roads, breakfast foods, and a thousand other immemorable things had to be- named, 1t is no wonder that the names did not hold out. When the apartment house arrived, late in our evolution, fl had to go begging almost from the begin ming, for anything significant or distinc- tive from our exhausted resources.
 A very noticeable and gratifying innova- tion in the nomenclature of the flat houses is the tendency which we should, as re- mote votaries of muses, be ungracious not to mention, and that is the naming ot several after WAell-known authors. We have found two called The Emerson. one The Lowell and one The Henry James This Is a tendency which we could not applaud too vehemently. and we should be glad to see 1t ultimated in the case of the authors several works for the fiat houses of the future. We should feel 1t an ire fragable proof that our beloved commer I cial metropolis had become beyond al Chicagoan cavil the literary center of the country, if we go about with strangers and show them The Brahma, The Bostor Hymn, The Good-by, Proud World, Tn Going Home, or the Sir Launfal, Int Biglow Papers, or The Wings of a Dove The Sacred Fount.

Deer i'm Northern Miohigan.

The deer in the upper peninsula are in creasing at grea trate every year, not withstanding the immense number of hurters who spend part or the whole of the open season there. One reason ad- vanced for this increase is the great fail ing off in the number of lumber camps as the timber has been out away. For merly the men in these camps practically lived on venison all winter, ir and out of season, and thousands of deer were killed each year to supply their wants.
