manifest of the first order. Solitude
SENS to have strengthened his imagi-
nation and long absence from society
to have heightened his powers OF ex-
preston. He will tell the most i'm

cerity his language being interlard-
ed with adjectives of an imposing de-
scription, one of which he will at
every opportunity sandwich in the
middle of a word with remarkable ef-
feet This system ct syllable swear
ing is considered the acme of CONVEX
sational perfection. Unlike the tramp,
he is not lost to sentiment and he in
herits an English love for ceremony.

A number OF the leading magazines
are carried away each month from the
reading room of the library. We are
constrained to believe this is due to
forgetfnlness rather than a desire to
purloin the papers, but it is of great
damage to the library as it breaks the
files. Heavy penalties are provided
by law for the removal of books or
magazines from the library except in
the regular way by application to the
librarian. Those in control of the
library will enforce these penalties
unless the practice of surreptitiously
removing magazines ceases at once.
Apple and Milk Diet.
In their instructive experimental
work the agricultural stations have
issued a bulletin on the food advan-
tages of milk and apples, not only for
children, but for grown-up people,
says an exchange. Though no one
would think SO from looking at fluid
glass Of milk and solid apple, the
percentage of solids and water in ap-
pies is almost the same, apples be-
ing IS per cent water and milk Ss
per cent. There is more sugar In
apples and more acid in milk. A diet
of both apples and milk is one OF the
most wholesome and well-balanced.
The potash content Of both are high.
They are the best food for brain, bone
and muscle nourisEnent, and in their
effect upon the nerves they are sooth'

tlemen Of the scrubbing brush in charge
OF the capitol decided to make the
statue as good as new
Every particle of weather stain was
religiously scrubbed off and the heroic.
half-nude efigy of the Father of His
Country stood out as white and glisten-
ing as the day it came from the sculp-
tors hands. Then the thrifty house
keeper started the work on the numer-
Gus marble figures th1t ornament the
front of the capitol and scraped away
lichen, stain and all discolorations un-
til, to his satisfaction at least, these
groups stood forth as clean as parlor or
naments. This process was an offense
to the esthetes, who believe that the
charms of outside statuary is always
heightened by the work of the ele-
ments. This spasm Of cleanliness how
ever, has passed, and the capitol stat
ues are now allowed to accumulate the
evidence of age. There was even prop
osltlon to paint the statue of Freedom
on top of the dome, but that sacrilege was
prevented and the splendid bronze fig
ure with the green stain of time upon it
remains untouched
