Johnnies Carrying Canes of 4e Inches
 and Size Is Growing.

The London Johnny" has a new fad. This time 1t concerns his walk ing-stick. which has now reached the extraordinary length of 46 inches, and is still growing.
 Of course 1t Is impossible to make much use of such stick as an aid to walking. The London dude carries his horizontalwise, much to the annoy ance of other pedestrians before and behind, and especially at crowded crossings.
 It is hardly reasonable to suppose that the New York Willie Boy" Is going to follow in the footsteps of London's Johnny" in this matts. of walking-sticks. Neither New York nor any other busy American city would stand for them.
 Imagine one of these walking canes. carried horizontally. attempting to board a subway or Brooklyn bridge train or to turn a busy Broadway cor ner during rush hours. Everybody who has attempted to board a train carrying eveu a small package can Imagine the fatn of the waiking-stics. N '. World.

All at the Circus.

With rather dejected air he walked into the county commission CTS office at Scranton. I'm Goodrich. judge of election in Greenfield town ship" he said. as he deposited the ballot box upon his desk.
 'Oh, yes. Mir. Goodrich; making your returns, eh? We'll. how did everything go your way?' The face of Goodrich frightened up as the clerk talked to him in pleasant tone.
 Well. to tell the truth. things didn't go very good. I was there, but1 was the only one that showed up during the six hours. All the rest went to the circus at Carbondale Suppose I get my pay all right. eh?"
 It was true. Not a vote had been cast Even Goodrich. the only one on deck. could not vote. no one being there to take tic ballot from him.
 The circus at Carbondale was to blame.-Philadelphia Record.

will be at the points where one wing joins another or opposite the four avenues leading to the capitol park. There will. however, be other en- frances at the ends of the wings where the principal entrances are now. The reason for changing the location of the main entrances was that 1t would be more convenient as it will enable person to step right into the main part of the building in- stead of into wing.
 Every piece of material that enters the new capitol will be closely in- spected by Secretary Porter, one Of the leading architects of the state, and if it does not come up to the re- quired standard will be rejected. Secretary Porter has opened an office in the basement of the capitol where he has the new west wing constantly under his sight. It is the general opinion in Madison that nobody is going to cheat the state in the erec- ton of the new capitol as long as MT. Porter Is around.
 Wisconsin's new capitol building is not enly immense in size. but 1t will be constructed of the whitest granite ever discovered. It will combine the white beauty that is marbles best recommendation with the enduring qualities of granite. and the com bination will give the state an edifice that should be her crowning glory and pride for centuries to come.

.SEAWEED BONNETS
HAT TRIMMINGS TAKEN FROM
 THE BED OF THE SEA.
Growing Opposition to the Use of Birds Wings and Plumage Gre ates Demand for the
 Lacy SeaWeed.

Seaweed would at first seem rather commonplace and unsuitable ma terial with which to trim hats. h. ded, there is only one variety that is at present used to any great extent for this purpose. Some years ago seaweed attained a widespread pop ularity, especially in England, and be- came very fashionable, so much so that the demand far exceeded the sup ply, which is at all times strictly lim- ited, for though the harvest time lasts from October until the beginning of April, the entire amount collected an nually for commercial purposes is only some 20 or 30 tons.
 The Isle of Grain is the home of the seaweed harvesters. The weed" as it is known locally, is not culti- vated in any way, but drifts ashore and is picked up on the beach and foreshore at low tide Exactly where 1t comes from does not seem to have been definitely ascertained. Some of the inhabitants are of opinion that it grows in the deep waters of the North sea, and others think that its native place is in the shallow waters of the Thames estuary. Be that as 1t may, the Island of Grain is the only part of the coast upon which it comes ashore in marketable quantities.
 Harvesting the weed provides pre- carious and uncertain employment for practically the whole poorer class pop ulation of the island. Each gathers for him or herself independently, and disposes of the result to dealers, who in turn forward it to London and for eign houses. A northerly gale brings most seaweed ashore, and a single gleaner has been known to pick up half nundredweight in a morning. At other times when the wind is in

Music In EnoIand.

English musical genius has never run in the direction of opera It lacks the dramatic element: melody. on the one hand. and massive counterpoint on the other, are rather its distin- gushing features. To suit the Eng fish taste. Handel turned his mighty genius from opera to oratorio. thereby founding that particular vehicle of musical expression with which 1t may be claimed that English idiosyncrasy has enriched the world.-London Evening Standard.

CHAPTER XXX.
A Philosopher Rudely Interrupted.

After the funeral fingered at our Fredonia place There was the estate to settle; my two daughters had now no one to look after them; Junior must be started right at learning the business of which he would soon be the head, as his uncle had shown himself far too easy-going for large executive responsibility. So. stayed on, doing just enough to keep a face of plausibility upon my pretexts for not returning to Washington. The fact was that Carlotta's death had deepened my mood of distaste into disgust It had set me to breeding over the futility and pettiness of my activ. ities in politics, of all activities Of whatever kind. I watched Ed and my children resuming the routine of their lives. swiftly adjusting themselves to the loss of one who had been so dear to them and apparently so necessary to their happiness. The cry of man overheard" few ripples. a few tears; the sailing on, with the surface of the water smooth again and the faces keen and bright.
