A Large Bible Class.

Mr.. Rockefeller's Bible Class hasa
membership of over 300 persons, but his
connection with those constituting IL
ends in the church. 1t is said that he
is a keen observer of men and knows
whether they come to his class Tor
spiritual comfort or to get next" TO
him and it has now come to be well
recognized that the Rockefeller class
is not an institution for the dissemina-
ton of Wall Street tips nor an employ
ment agency for the Standard Oil Com
pany. If he has given other than spir-
itual help to his pupils it is not public,
ly known. He is ready talker and
maker of epigrams and said in a late
address that character, friends, health
and success are the four things to
strive for in life.

Good, Useful, Old Age.

The pessimists to the contrary not
withstanding, there is man in
Lincoln, Nebraska, who feels himself
still to be useful member of his COM
munity. Although ninety-two years
of age, he is to-day serving actively as
city treasurer. He puts in a full day $
work six days Of each week and acts
as spry as youth of fifty. He will
not use a cane, and only seldom needs
the aid Of glasses. Another man, who
has Just died in Forest, Ohio, at the
age of eighty-five years, leaves the
proud record of never having owed
anybody an account. That triumph
suffices, whether or not he accumu-
lated fortune, to stamp him as q
financial genius.
In this connection 1t Is interesting
to know that Donald G.. Mitchell, whom
a world of readers love to call Tx
Marvel" recently celebrated his
eighty-third birthday at his farm home,
Edgewood, New Haven, Connecticut.
He was young man in point OF
calendar years so long ago that it Is
no shock to the multitudes who know
him as the bachelor who INDUCED In
reveries to be told that the birthday
party was attended by his numerous
grandchildren and Observation-Disclosures.

"Bob" Evans Japanese Servant.

Admiral Bob" Evans, in a recent
conversation with group of officers,
threw a great white light upon one of
the methods, at least, by which the
Japanese have attained that splendid
adaptability to European and Ameri-

ably quick to learn, and took such a
deep interest in everything, that some
times, to amuse myself, / devoted not
a little attention to explaining things
that he appeared not to understand.
A good waiter, too, he was. Well,
finally he disappeared.
Some time later, when on the
European station, / made call on a
Jap battleship lying in the harbor OF
Marseilles. The captain met us at the
gangway and escorted us to his cabin.

beauty as the finest type of classic
architecture, except the White House,
and this is the verdict of many
foreign architects who visit the
Nations capital. Around the outside
of the building are sixty-six Ionic
columns, each thirty-fve feet long and
three feet in diameter, many OF
which are monoliths or single stones.
About three years ago these columns
were cleaned by the sand blast
method, but the results were not at all
satisfactory. Before cleaning, the
Treasury was one Of the darkest,
grimiest buildings in the country, its
particular kind of stone appearing to
catch and retain all the particles of
SCOT and smoke in the air. Withal
it has to many eyes always retained
a grand, if somewhat gloomy appear
ance, embodying great strength ana
solidity, fit repository of the worlds

RESTORING THE TREASURY.

jackson.

While q number of the Government
departments have been having gen
eral washing of their dirty linen,' the
United States Treasury building Is
having its outer walls cleaned by new
system invented by Marylander'
James +. Bruce. Several weeks ago
Mr.. Bruce explained to the officials q
method which he had discovered OF
cleaning granite and sandstone which
gave results much better than accom-
plished by either brushes or SAND
blasts. He showed them what could Dt
done with small granite block. DIP

broad, humane and useful lines. The
establishment of this farm colony plan
is Il far better plan than the grouping
of snowy buildings in the city, where
there can be no way of giving outdoor
employment so effective in the treat
ment of persons under restraint.

money, and he is more careful of the
lars. Through methods as memorable
as the laws of nature nothing ever goes
to waste in the Rockefeller household.
From morning till night the daily rou-
tine is one of studied economy in its
every phase, bordering on parsimony.
Like his father young Rockefeller is
q hard worker, and he has the same
Immortality in purpose and aim.

THE u. S. TREASURY BUILDING.
he washed the mysterious liquid off,
leaving the stone as bright and clean
as when it came from the quarry.
The process looked so easy and the
results so surprising that the depart
ment authorities told him to go ahead
and clean the foundations OF the
structure, paying him therefor at the
rate of So a day for his labor. After
the foundation cleaning is accom-
plished, Mr.. Bruce is to be given a
contract to clean the entire building for
$1,000.
A Secret Discovery.
What the process adopted by him is,
Mr. Bruce, of course, is not Wiling 10
reveal, and it appears that In order
to be protected by letters patent he
would have to give the authorities al
the Patent Office the formula which nc
proposed to patent. Thls, when
granted would be published, so that un,
scrupulous persons could go ahead
and manufacture their own cleaning
compounds.
Since the cleaning under this pro
cess the Treasury building has pre-
scented a marvellous transformation
The huge granite blocks which form The
| foundation of the building on all four
sides, are as free from smoke OF
other discolorations as they were wher
first quarried. Flaws wrought by time
and the mortar in the seams stand GU
conspicuously The foundation stones
lamp and fence posts, and the lowe
bases of the Ionic columns are daz

columns are dull brown.
