Prof. Albert H. SmytE Of the Central
high school, Philadelphia, who is de-
clared to know more about Franklin
than any other man living, in an adj
dress before the Pennsylvania His
tory club sketched the history OF pub
lie and private collections of Franklin
manuscripts he had perused, says the
Philadelphia Ledger. He told the tol-
lowing anecdote of ]. Pierpont Nor
gan's collection:
II was much surprised to learn that
Mr.. Morgan owned valuable Franklin
manuscripts, and as he was abroad at
the time wrote to his nephew, Junius
Morgan, this gentleman suggested
that we should break into his uncle's
residence, and we did so, spending an
afternoon in the financier's library.
I found three complete sets of Frank
lin manuscripts, but not the Collinson
letters, which was anxious to see.
Finally, as night was setting in, we
discovered a wonderful pile of manu-.
scripts, including Pope's Rape of the
Lock- stories by Poe, novels OF Fenl-
more Cooper and others, and from the
center of it l extracted the Core
spondence of Franklin and Peter Col
linson.'
Prof. Smyth also read the collection

MANUSCRIPTS OF GREAT MAN

Adams family, which were locked in
vault Of the Massachusetts Historical
society, to remain there until the pres.
ent generation OF the family had
passed away.
81 was entertained by Brooks Adams
at his country home,' said Prof,
Smyth. Il felt certain that my eyes
would never rest on the Adams manu-
scripts, and was considerably sur
prised when Mr.. Adams said to me:
of course, if You want to sec tAcm
you can, since I have the key lost
no time taking advantage of his offer"
Prof. Smyth referred to the Frank
lin collection owned by Lord lans'
downe, to which he had access. While
the guest of Lord Fi,Z-Maurice his
lordship told of the copies Of the COT
lection made by Henry Stevens and
sent to Washington with the under
standing that the United States gov
ernment was to purchase them. The
copies were not purchased, and re-
main locked up in one Of the federal
buildings to this date, whore no one
is allowed to consult them.
Lord Fitz,Maurice declared that
Stevens death was fastened by his
treatment by the American govern
ment.

First, I cleaned the whole thing,

TUESDAY took the gravy left from
the roast, put this with the fat off the
roast into about pint Of water, sliced
in an onion, put in two leftover baked
potatoes, sliced fine, dropped in two or
three spoonfuls Of Dreaded tomato left
from the day before, and brought the
whole to a boil. When The miXtm-c
boiled put in three raw potatoes
pared and halved lengthWise (they
boil more quickly that way), and when
the potatoes were done and the onion
tender I put in the remnants of the
roast ITSELF dashed in that bottle Of
celery juice that had saved, let the
whole come to a boil once more, took
out the meat, thickened the gravy
little, poured it over the meat, and

The children Of Denmark are taught
to knit when but five years old. Even
in the public schools this Is quite an
institution, although the private
schools made it an absolute rule, one
hour each day being given to that IN
dustry. The same rule applies in the
home-life, one hour being devoteo
daily either to sewing, Knitting cfoch'
citing, embroidery or late-maklng. NOT
Is this considered sufficient; the young

Where Love L., There God Is.

Thoughts that disturb and trouble
us seldomgcome from God. 1t is gebcr-

and mistrust of self, at His feet. And
never forget, amid whatever may De
fall you-dryness, GOODNESS, desoiatioI

many faults, and of great weakness
and want of faith-that where love Is,
there God is sure to be. He never yer
