Rivers Of Damascus.

The situation OF Damascus is remark

the vast desert which everywhere helms

These hills mark the beginning OF the
great desert. Beyond them there iE
nothing but rolling waste and the long
roads to Palmyra and Bagdad. The per-
manence and prosperity of Damascus
are due to the presence of two rivers,
which have converted this spot of the
dreary desOlate and uninhablted desert
into a smiling and well watered plain.

TROUT WITH A HISTORY.
Had Travelled Thousands of Miles in
Tank of an Engine.
From the Field.

From the fieid
The mascot of the Iverness railway men
passed away last week in the shape of a
brown trout, whose life history was some
what peculiar. The fish had been landed
at Millburn by the son of Mr.. McDon-
aid, engine driver, was kept alive, and
soon became great pet. Upward of ten
wears ago the engine driver had 1t trans
ferred to the tank of his engine. and It
has since passed a somewhat curious eX-
istence in the tanks of three separate
railway engines.
The trout was SO tame that it would
feed from the engine drivers hand. and
when a pail was dropped into the tank to
take it out would flop into it at once.
Occasionally the driver took his pet
home with him, and on the last occasion
that he did so an accident happened-a
box of matches had fallen into the tank.
with the result that the trout was poi
soned The trout is lamented by all the
railway men. 1t Travelled during its stay
in the engine tank thousands of miles.

Hunt Of the Illusory.

From the Kansas City Star.
Lieut.. Shackleton tells how, when in
the antarctic wastes he and his COM
panions sustained their spirits and their
bodies as we'll when supplies had to be
cut down to a minimum, by dwelling
upon the glorious eating they would
have on returning to headquarters. The
value of such mental sustenance has long
been recognized by up-to-date command
ers. There was the German officer In the
war of 1870 who sustained the tagging
spirits and weary. legs of his men by
shouting: There is q. brewery inside
body else.' History relates that the men
did get there with remarkable speed.

Public Undisturbed.

As is usual. the newspapers daily work
themselves up to a fine frenzy over the
political situation, but Very few of the
general public are excited as yet. What
ever may be the case In other parts Of
the country, London has accepted the
situation with massive calm. People will
always talk politics with Journalists,
whether in dull or exciting times, and it
is therefore most difficult for a journal
list to judge whether men outside politi-
cal circles are specifically or deeply
stirred by events which fill his own
mind. In this difficulty I asked a busi-
ness man who is something of Doiltl-
clan and sees scores of people of all
classes every day of his life whether
ply was: II am astonished at the lack
of interest among Londoners. They don't
talk about politics. They won't. They're
too busy or too Indifferent. The dispute
amuses them little, but they're not
taking sides-at least, not yet. 1 don't
believe one man in a hundred is reading
the speeches which flood the newspa-
pers."
The truth of this description is borne
out by my own experience. In trains and
omnibuses and other places outside< po-
litical clubs / have heard but one po-
litical conversation since last week, and
that was contemptuOus of all the pOther.
This mood will not. OF course, last. But
London is like somnolent giant, and
needs arousing with tremendous viSOr.
The present quiescence of it's population
is very significant thing. 1t puzzles
and discouraees liberals to the stage of
despair, for they had hoped that the as
sertion of the legal right of the lords to
touch finance would stem the tide which
Bernfbndsey showed was running against
them in London working-class constitu-
encles.
The effects on society of general cleo

cause the election absolutely spoils the

in the existing conditions to have an
elaborate celebration of the inauguration
of the statue, but the work on the cx-
tensions and the dome then being under
the War Department and under the SUI
perintendence of Gen. Montgomery G..
Meigs, the completion was honored by a
salute, as above noted.
The building of the two extensions,
commenced in 1851, had progressed. and
in 1853, appropriation having been made
for the removal of the old dome and the
construction of the new dome, work was
begun. The design of the statue by
Thomas Crawford was maze and after
some modification was adopted.

The Liberty Cap.

jefferson Davis. Secretary OF War in
January, 1856, wrote concerning the sug-
gestion of liberty cap that it seemed to
him that Its history renders it inap-
p. opriate to people born free and would
not be enslaved.
THE language of art, like all living
tongues. is subject to change; thus the
bundle of rods, if no longer employed to
suggest the functions of the Roman lie
tor, may lose the symbolic character de-
rived therefrom, and be confined to the
single significatiOn drawn from its other
source-tne fable teaching that in union
there is strength. But the libe.ty cap
has an established origin in its use as
the badge of the freed slave. and though
1t should have another meaning today,
a recurrence 10 that origin may give to it
in the future the same popular accepta-
ton which it had i'm the past.
"Why should not armed Liberty wear
helmet? Her conflict being over, her
cause triumphant, is shown by the other
embiems Of the statue-the visor would
be up SO as to permit the display
of the circle of stars-eXpressive of end
less existence and of heavenly birth"
