Improving a Statue.

Professor Brutt's recently completed
equestrian statue to Karl Alexander at
Weimar looked too new TO suit the
sculptor after 1t had been unveiled.
and in order to give the work dignity
it was subjected to a patina process
When this was completed the statue
was, according to a Berlin paper,
light frog green. and its appearance
caused much merriment. The sculp-
tor set men to work taking off what
they had put on, and at the end OF the
day the statue became a bright metal
lie rider on a grass green horse. Then
the town authorities had placard fas-
tened on the statue. stating that the
municipal government was blameless
for what had been done to the work
Of art. The horse and its rider Will be
restored to their original bronze condi-
ton and in time will probably assume
the tint which it was intended to pro-
duce. but for years the memorial will
be pointed out as the green one.

men, recently arrived in Paris, having
walked all the way from Marseilles,

tai was made to see NJ. Clemenceau
and endeavor to obtain from him Off

OF 400 cripples went outside the Vim

cripples of every possible kind-men
with one arm and with one leg, men
and women with no arms and with no

He Was Convinced.

The late DR.. Julius Wise once con-
sented to attend meeting of spiritual
lists near his home on College hill,
Ohio, and was surprised when shad-
owy form in the darkened room was
referred to by the medium as his
mother, who had died a short time be-
fore. The alleged spirit spoke Of sew

Isaac NJ. Wise. ASK some question"
the medium urged. aud the young doc
tor said. "If you are the spirit Of my
mother repeat the Schema" This Is
the Jewish confession Of faith. There
was a pause, the figure disappeared,
and the medium said, "She doesn't
know what you mean When the
lights went up she asked the doctor.
"Are you convinced?" 81 am" said
he, "but do not ask me what ! am
convinced of."-New York Tribune.

That the roots OF many native plants,

possess remarkable properties for the cure

the untutored Indian had learned the

Indian never liked work so he wanted his

Therefore, he dug "papoose root for her,
