devoted wife and a good mother Tn hei dress there was never anything that in the slightest degree bordered on ostenta- ton. nor In her social relations was there any of that scholastic Sose which many of her descendants of the same sex hav added to the terrors of life.
 I remember asking her once what she thought of Maeterlinck.
 "Oh. don't ask me-" she replied, laugh ing merrily, I'm more interested in the missing link"
 This summed up her whole attitude to- ward prose and dramatic literature, and as for poetry, when l asked her if she was fond of poetry she replied that her "one pomological' experience was enough for her.
 She was fond of domestic life, and sug- gested to Adam that he build them a house to live in, so that they need not be out every night" and on New Years Day, when I referred to the hardships that were hers in having to do all the cooking for the family, I was much im- pressed by the happy philosophy of her retort.
 I'm better off than you think" she said, with no cook in the house to boss me around. and when | make bis cults old Adam there can't twlt me be- cause they're not as good as the ones his mother used to make"

 Washington's Reply.
 The popular estimate of Washington regardfulness of truth has never been at all exaggerated. In all my experience with illustrious personages, from the time of Adam down, I do not recall his equal for a scrupulous regard for the precise facts. I remember once, during his second term as President, attending state ball at which Washington was present.

tended most of his earlier ventures, eith- CT at the moment of launching or later in trial spins.
 The third vessel constructed by his en- ergy and enterprise was seemingly per- fectly equipped, but owing to some mis- calculation in ballast on her trial trip with two elephants aboard she turned turtle anu was never lighted again. The fifth venture was more fortunate in the matter of balance, but .he weight of her cargo dragged her water line so deep below the surface that the sea en- tereu the port holes and swamped her in fifteen minutes from the time of her de- parture from the pier. Through all these trials the patriarch ship -uilder retained an unTuffied exterior, saying to all crit ics who found fault with him: Never mind; I'll lift that menagerie yet"
 I shall never forget Noah's firmness and promptness of action at the hour of the final sailing that has become historic There was much trouble adjusting the an- finals to their quarters. and at the last moment 1t was found that the ceiling of their quarters was so low that the giraffes were unable to stand up straight. Shem. Ham and Japhet, tine Patriarch's sons, were full of noise and hustle, and. run ming hither and yon like frightened chick ems, not knowing what to do. but the grand old man, fertile as ever in resource, was ready with an instant solution of the difficulty.
 "Change their quarters to the larboard taffrail," said he. where they can stick their heads up through the wind vents"
 The greatest difficulty was with the ele- phants. however, both of which demand cd staterooms.
 "Certalnly" said Noah calmly, you can have them If you will abide by tho luggage rules"
 what are they?" demanded the refrac- tory mastOdors
 That there shall be no trunks in the staterooms," replied the Admiral.
 There was no further trouble with the pachyderms.
 His reply to two mosquitoes who ap- piled for positions in tIe surgical depart rnent shows his great diplomacy.
 "Of course, we'll be glad to have you along on our cruise, but you must promise not to dun any of your creditors on board"
 which involves what?" asked one of the applicants.
 "That you viii not present your hIl'' until we have disembarked," announced Noah. significantly.

Adams Wit.

Those who are accustomed to think of Adam as a very solemn individual, de- voting his life wholly to the business of the hour without thought of anything else, are much mistaken in the man. remember one afternoon coming upon him setting alone in the small reservation that he had cleared for the occupancy of Eve and himself.
 It was some time after the unfortunate sincident of the apple. as Adam was neat ly clad in a fine new suit of Virginia creeper, which, must confess, 1 found vastly becoming. I congratulated him upon his appearance, whereat he seemed much pleased.
 q wish you'd say that to my wife, old man." he observed. T found this suit ready made and must say I don't see anything the matter with 1t, but Eve wants me to go and be fitted. She says a ready made suit may do for business, but for dress occasions a gentleman should wear custom made clothes"
 Certainly; I'll tell her." said l. "Very glad to. But where is she?'
 "Oh," said Adam, with droll twist of his lips, she's taken pruning knife and gone shopping"
 A further evidence of Adams wit lay in his reply to his son Cain, who asked him why he made the cosey corner out of Georgia pine instead of oak.
 Because, my son." said this ever-ready father. Georgia pine is softer"

An Unique Ten-Dollar Bill.

 Though it might have been general ly known. a revelation shows that for the past twenty-three years the honors of being the emblem of the United States have been divided between an eagle and a donkey.
 A ten-dollar bill, circulating in this c'- ty and bearing an engraving of huge American eagle. and another bird com- monly known as a mule. proves that a,i undignifed practical joke has been pla l. ed in the engraving department at Wasn. ingtOn
 The bill was issued in the year lsO during which time an Englishman was in charge of the engraving department. All of the engraving that left the department while this gentleman was in charge bore the unpatriotic picture.

A Railroad neanfr-

A railroad company that spends largo sums in illustrated advertising has in ta employ. on the regular salary list, one Of the daintiest. sweetest loveliest di- vinitics ever seen. Her duty Is to look pretty fin front of camera, habited In fine feathers and possessed of the grand air. All the travelling and most of the stay-at-home world know her from her pictures. A little while ago she sat in a box in a New Haven theatre and wsa quickly recognized by the audience, who temporarily stepped the play to give her long. loud and continued applause. The other day she wrote to the company: T need a new white dress for next srza- mer; indeed. a complete outfit, if am to look presentable."

structed of stone masonry throughouts and the contract price is surprisingly low. 1t being only 5o0.o00 marks, or, In round figures, $120.00o. This very m0der- ate cost is explained by the low cost Of manual labor in saxony and by availa- bility close to the bridge site of excellent stone to supply the necessary masonry.

As to Jonah.


 Jonah to me was always one of 1T most interesting figures in history. He was not at all a bad sort and possessed a sort of rude humor that had his luck been better would have won him many friends. recall an incident at the Ninevah Club shortly after the whale episode that is in dicative of this
 What did you do with yourself inside the whale, Jonah?' I asked him.
 "Oh. read most of the time" saiG Jonah.
 "Read?" cried a. number of the com pany. Why, I thought 1t was dark in side there"
 "so it was at first" said Jonah. but J struck oIl.'
 There was q good deal of laughter at this sally. when the President of the cIul queried:
 Was the whale steady. Jonah, or did he roll a good deal?'
 He was a pretty rockefeller" laughed Jonah.

asked.
 Why, it says here, Ladies first" said he, ''and I've butted in ahead of Eve by some forty-eight hours"
 I mention this little incident as a sort of vindication of one who has been very severely criticised for his behavior at a certain critical period of the worlds his- tory, for 1t seems to me to tell much of Adams real nature. Whatever his be- havior In respect to certain matters, I think he always sincerely wished to act the gentleman.

Anecdote of Adams.

k1uSCuOLC O4 AOuAl0'
 My recollection of my first meeting with Adam Is trifie hazy as to the pre- else date of 1t. There have been so many calendars in my experience that 1t is sometimes difficult for me to fix ex- act dates with that accuracy that l shouS1 like always to observe. do re- call, however, that 1t was in the fore noon of a warm, sunny day. such as in those days we might expect to find in the latter part of June. Of course, being the first man to appear in the universe. he was an object of some curiosity to me, and I paused somewhat in my march through the Garden of Eden to see what manner of thing this new creation was. He was sitting on the bank Of the river reading a copy of tie Eden Home Jour nal as I stopped, and I observed look of great embarrassmel@ on his facc as he perused the etiquette column of that interesting periodical

Concerning Eve.

To say that Eve was the loveliest wo- man of her time would be no special praise. To speak of her however, as one of the most charming women of any time would be no exaggeration. Considering the disadvantages of her extraction she struck me as being a really wonderful person. She was a charming hostess. a
