especially, thought 1t great fun to
look through the glasses his father
used In his work. Many of them had
such odd shapes, aud often as he held
them up to the sun he could make
lovely rainbows on the floor and
walls. 1t CHANGED one memorable
day that he had taken two glasses,
and, standing In the street just out
side the shop, he held both to his
eyes at the same time. All at once
1t seemed that the face of the great
clock, which he knew to be several
block away, was right before him.
For a moment he was frightened.
How had the clock come so near, he
wondered? He winked his eye very
hard and looked at 1t without the
glasses. There it was in Its usual
place, so far away that he could
scarcely see Its hands.
"But 1t was so near" he said to
himself. ut seemed just across the
street. These glasses must have
made 1t look that way. 1 must find
out Why" So, being a bright boy,
he sat down on the step to think 1t
out. He tried first one glass and
then the other. Still the clock was
far away. Then he turned the glass
e. In all directions with no better sue
cess, but quite suddenly, az he was
holding both In one hand, he saw the
clock right before him again.
"Oh! know! know!" he cried
joyfully. Father, come! GOMEZ"
Of course his father went out In
great hurry, not knowing what the
trouble might be. When he did find
out he, too, thought it was very Won
derful, and so he set to work to make
an instrument which would make
distant objects seem near. To do 1t
he had to use two glasses, one con-
cave and the other convex. When
the great Calico heard of 1t he sid;
"How happy could be if l might
have an instrument strong enough to
make the stars seem near" and after
much labor he succeeded. So you see
what a great and important discovery
the action Of this small boy led to, for
without the telescope we would have
learned very little about the stars or
the sun or the moon.-Excbarge.

BENTON AND BARNUM.
How the Snowman Got Free Al

James G.. Blaine said that after Ere

Benton. who had opposed his marriage
with his daughter Jessie, became recon
ciled with his son-in-law and took great
pride in his achievements as a western
explorer.
The square on the southern side OF
Pennsylvania avenue. now occupied by
Center market. was then used as "a
show ground for circuses and other
pcripatctic exhibitions. About this time
L. T. Barnum was beginning his ca
recr as Snowman. and as Colonel Ben
ton was walking down Pennsylvania
avenue opposite this show ground he
was attracted by the words John e.
Fremont" uttered in loud voice by Il
Snowman standing at the door OF Il
small tent. in front Of which was a
garsh caricature of nondcscript AMI

the tent could be found the greatest
natural curiosity in the world. the
woody horse captured 10y General Ere

Benton denounced Barnum rs an i'm
poster and denied that his son-iu-law
had discovered any such animal. Bar
mum. who did not know Benton. told
him flippantly TO pay his quarter and
go into the show or make less noise.
whereupon the indignant statesman
called upon the police to arrest Bar
mum. and a largo crowd assembled to
witness the extraordinary scene. The
police refused to interfere, and Barnum
received, a free advertisement. much to

MARRIAGE LAWS ABROAD.
How Breach of Promise Cases Arc
Averted In Hungary.

HOW BrcnCn OF fEO"Est hHo
Averted In Hungary.
There are many curious and inter
esting facts regarding the marriage
and divorce laws of foreign countries
said Il. ]. Brown, who recently return
ed from trip abroad. where he made
study of the question.
Breaches of promise are averted In
Hungary by an express declaration OF
the civil marriage act that the relations
created by a betrothal do not give tho
right to command the conclusion OF a
marriage, but if either party with
draws from an engagement without
Just reasons he or she is bound to
grant compensation to the extent or
the outlay incurred. Divorce in the
English sense does not exist, but the
courts can decree the personal separa-
ton of a married couple without dis
solving the bonds of matrimony.
"A curious law prevailing in France
provides that before being married
children of family. although over
age, shall seek in respectful and form
al terms the advice OF their father and
mother. 1t makes no difference. how
ever, whether the consent of parents IL
given. for the couple can be married n
month after under any circumstances.
This is also the case in the Neither
lands. A divorce further entities the
innocent party to recover all the pres
ents he or she may have made.
According to the constitution OF the
Netherlands. the civil marriage must
always precede the religious ceremony.
The latter, indeed. is left entirely to
the conscience of the parties concern
ed There is also a law providing that
no man or woman under thirty can
marry without the consent of parents.
If the consent be refused. the couple
have to appear before n judge, who
advises them as he thinks best.
MANY countries have now abolished
all marriage fees This is the case In
Norway. while In the Netherlands GER

when persons may be married without

Starting Point of Another
Democratic Breech.

The impressive memorial services
In honor OF William Goebel, which
were held last Wednesday by the
General Assembly, at which William
]. Bryan was guest of honor, closed
at night with speech by Mr.. Bryan
In the Opera House.
In introducing Mr.. Bryan, Govern
or Beckham criticised Henry Waiter.
son of the Courier. Journal, for what
he termed gratuitous Insult to Mr..
Bryan. The Governor said:
"Mr. Bryan Is the first citizen OF
the United States. He has twice led
the National Democratic party, and
although he was not successful, he 10
as much beloved today as he was in
1895, and is welcomed by Kentucky
Democracy, notwithstanding the fact
that the editor of the Courier Journal
has seen fit to offer him gratuitious
Insult"
The language of the Governor, cou-
pied with what Bryan said In his
speech, Is considered a declaration of
war between Governor Beckham as q
free silver leader, and 1t Is predicted
that fight bstyeen these two ele-
nents will be made to control the ma
tional convention In St. Louis. Gov
ernor Beckham's speech was unex-
pected and has created much gossip
here.
Bryan was warmly received. Be-
fore Bryan spoke the light were turn

turned lite-sze picture of Goebel
came into view, and was cheered.
In introducing his address, Bryan

cd Christ and died repentant. Mr..
Bryan said that he did not believe In
total deprsvity, and hoped that Mr..
Watterson would finally become a
true Democrat and cease to wear out
the knees of mis- trousers crawling at
ter the pie wagon.
In further alluding to Mr.. Waiter
son, he said most people had heard OF
Watterson's lecture on Money and
Morals, and he declared that Waiter
son had neither.
He said McKinley's indictment of
Grover Cleveland, in which he said
Cleveland made money the master of
men, he believed was correctly drawn.
Referring to Goebel, Bryan said his
murder was encompassed by corpor-
ate influences that had determined he
should never be Governor. He said
the man who wrote Goebel that he
should never be Governor was alive
now and his name was mentioned In
connection with the Chairmanship of
the Democratic National Committee.

take the chance of falling into the
hands of the money powers. Com
mercialism In politics, he declared,
was now the greatest menace to the
country. He said he heard of one
precinct In Delaware, where all the
votes were bought, and one auctioned
off brought $1,000.
He said the money question was no
more dead now than 1t was In 1896,
and discussed at length the trusts and
monopolies.

 Coming Home.
 Philadelphia Ledger.
 The summer nomads are returning to town, and in a few weeks the latest laggards will have resumed business at the old stand. Next to the joy of going away is the delight of coming home. The difference Is only that which exists between the anticipation of good time and the memory of 1t. The philosophers are divided upon the question whether expectation Is better than retrospect. defender of the past declares that all that excites any real interest is what has been" The return from the summer outing is not as showy and demonstrative as the de- parture. The notes of preparation, the clamor of the children escaping from the school day task which marked the beginning of the fun. are absent on the return. Possibly the family treasury has been depleted and there Is a worm in the nut of pleasure, but the home coming, nevertheless. has its compen- sations. There Is no place quite like home. No word in the vocabulary means so much.
