The Ubiquitous Tin Can.
From lions Herald.


The ubiquitous American tin can 10
proving in it's way a kind of a univsrs al
ctvilizer, since 1t is found doing duty for
variety of purposes in almost every
country on the face of the earth. In ia
pan tomato cans are utilized as flow e.
pots, in China salmon cans are used rs
soup ladies. and in the Himalayas painted
tin cans serve as headdresses for Idols.
South Sea bellies use tin cans as han 4
mirrors. while Patagonian chiefs wear
them suspended about their necks as or
naments. The Eskimos use peach cans
for bird traps-the bright flashing of the
tin on the top of a pole attracting the
curiosity of the birds, so that they are
induced to fly close to the hunters.
queer sort of drum was found by one ex-
plorer In the Terra del Fuego Islands
made out of tin cans. In Turkey Stand
ard oil cans are commonly used in tho
place of pals to carry water. or. battered
out, are employed for sheathing on huts
Tinplate has been manufactured in Amer

is now one of the most important in tho

S100.0D0o0 worth of canned goods. AS

New York's New Rich Palaces.

From the New York World
II Henry C. Frick has paid 81. 400, 900
for the city block which contains the
Lenox library building he has acquired
the most costly residential site In the
United States. IL not in the world Not
thirty years have elapsed since the COM
pletion Of the handsome structure which
James Lenox designed. with reasonable ex-
pectation, to be his monument to posterity
Now. less than generation later, 1t is
snuned out to give place to the mansion
of a man whose fortune wns then lying
buried in the bowels Of the earth. Is there
any romance of steel ignots more interest
mgr
The bonanza kings built their palaces on
Mob hill and made San Francisco a world 3
showplace. Pork and wheat Kings have
reared pretentious homes on the lake shore
drive in Chicago. Railroad and real estate
ana brewery fortunes have given distinc-
ton to New York's house architecture But
1t has remained for the steel and copper
kings to attempt the highest flights OF
architectural ambition. Mr.. Carnegie's
chateau and Senator Clark's museum OF
architecture mark successive stages in the
rivalry. To these Mr.. Prick Is now ex-
pected to add something that will overtop
all else In magniflcence. as the site he has
chosen exceeds the others in costlness
What will 1t be-a Blenhem. a Trianon or
a doge's palace? The public will look to
him to say the last word in ostentation
But Is PfttSburg to be permitted to mo-
nopoize the laurels OF this kind of fame Z?
Is the Oil king content to endure 1t? Is
the sugar king satisfied with his Madison
avenue home? Are Mr.. Belmont, Mr. Har-
riman and Mr.. Ryan willing that these
prizes of architectural publicity should go
to newcomers? Already there are hints
that Mr.. Morgan is meditating the aban-
donment of his Murray hill home and his
new art gallery for a 9th avenue site. Not
unlikely another decade will see new Rich
monds in the field which the mill and min
ing kings have arrogated to themselves.

From the Youths Companion.

The man from Arizona was taking his
first view of Central Park and its environs.
One thing seemed to rouse in him mingled
interest and scorn. 1t was the sight of
four or five young women on horseback
each followed at a respectful distance by
a groom.
Those fellows must be a bashful lot
said the man from Arizona, contemptuous-
ly, as a fifth young woman passed by. her
attendant groom well in the rear. Il don't
blame the girls for not throwing em so
much as look over the shoulder. ]

England and the Alabama.
From Harper's Magazine.

The keel of a mysterious vessel known as
the 300 had been laid at the Laird's yards In
Birkenhead, and Mr.. Adams soon reported
Capt Bulloch's interest in her, following
this with surprisingly accurate details of
her construction and mission; but all the
Investigations of the English officials failed
to unearth what Mr.. Adams agents had
readily discovered. The $50, 1t was ad-
mitted, might possibly be adapted for a
war vessel but there were no guns upon
her, and her mysterious numerals merely
Indicated her dock yard name she being
the 29Oth vessel constructed by the Lairds
Her real name. according to the records,
was the Enrica. by which she had been
regularly christened at her launching and
there was to the official mind, no cause for
her detention.
All this was solemnly reported by the
foreign office. and it was almost impossible
for the American minister to appear I'M
conscious of the yelled insincerity of these
official communications. But Mr.. Adams
Shut his ears to all that ruffled the temper,
and. keeping his eyes wide open, began pre-
pairing a case against Great Britain, know
Ing that sooner or later there must be a
day of reckoning. In order that there
might be no mistake. however as to the
legal bearing of his proofs, he submitted
them to an English jurist of high author
lily, who expressed his opinion that the
laws of England were being violated. Forti-
fled with this decision. he once more visited
the foreign office and called the facts and
the legal opinion directly to Lord Russell 8
attention. Representations of this nature
of course. could not well be disregarded by
the government. but 1t was slow to act
upon them: and Capt. Buloch, receiving in
side information that the authorities were
contemplating the seizure of his vessel
took advantage of the delay to arrange q
trial trip" for the Enrica, which proved
so eminently satisfactory that she never re-
turned to her dock. After a short stay at
another British port she sailed for the Azores
where an English steamer met her with
her arms and equipment, and with an Eng
lish crew she sped away as the Alabama to
capture and destroy all the unarmed COM
mercial marine of the United States that
crossed her path.
