Ruhex,s Good Roads Bill.

Representative Rubey OF missouri
has introduced a bill into congress ito
distribute the surplus in the treasury
of the United States to the several
states territories and the District of
Columbia for the sole purpose of i'm
proving the roads therein" The meas
ure introduced by Mr.. Rubey makes
ii the duty of the secretary of the
treasury at the end of each fiscal year
to take an account of all the funds I'M
der his charge and after deducting
from the sum the amount required
by law to be kept in the treasury, to
declare the remainder, If any, sur
plus for which immediate provision
shall be made to distribute in a sum
not exceeding $25.O00,00C annually on
per capita basis to the states and
territories and District of Columbia for
the Improvement of the postal roads.
There is not very much chance that
the Rubey bill will become law, even
though it avoids constitutional diff
culties by making the money available
only for roads which are used by the
government for postal purposes. The
interest in good roads, however, has
been spurred recently in congress.
Uacle Sans Relics.
Uncle Sam is a hoarder of relics
and a collector of curios. He has
one advantage over private col
lectors in that people know what
Jealous care he exercises to pre-
serve things and how willing he is to
give credit where credit is due. So
1T is that many holders of things his
toric present them to Uncle Sam, GER
tain that they will be spread before
the gaze of the admiring thousands
with the name of the donor attached
in large letters set up and printed
after the best manner of the govern
ment composing room and printery.
Sometimes, however, Uncle Sam
has to buy something and preliminary
to doing il he tries TO find out now
much 1t is to cost and if there is any
chance of getting it for nothing.
Sometime ago, for instance, he nego-
tiated with a Portland, Ore, man for
the purchase at the price of $500 of a
manuscript order book. once the prop
erty of Gen. Arthur Saint Clair, who
was governor of the Western Terri
tory and commander of its military
forces during the administrations OF
Presidents Washington and Adams.
Uncle Sam gets his money to buy
manuscripts from the secretary OF
the treasury after congress by joint
resolution has given him permission
/ to make the purchase.

A Domestic Dialogue That Made Old Deacon Wood Wise.
 "I notice Mrs. Simmons is having a new porch put on to her house," said Deacon Wood, polishing his glasses.
 Yes" said his wife; ''she always wanted one clear across the front of the house. but Silas never would build one, so the first thing she did with the insurance money was to have one"
 The deacon looked at his paper thoughtfplly for a moment, then re- i marked:
 ''The Wilder Davis is setting out a good many flowers, isn't she? She keeps | getting seed catalogues at the post office"
 Yes" replied his wife; 'her hearts been set on posy garden good many years. but should almost think 'twould make Jed Davis turn over in his grave. He always thought flowers was such foolish waste of time and money"
 For a time the deacon was silent; then he said. Wasn't that a new rub Der tired buggy saw PruneIla White in yesterday?"
 "Yes," said his wife, with anima tion. "and I'm glad she's got it at last She rode around for years in an old farm wagon. though Leander could well afford q decent buggy for her and the girls, but if he'd lived they'd never have had one"
 For a time the deacon remained sunk in thought; then he asked:

MARIE ANT0INETTE.
Two Dramatic and Contrasting Epi-

Two Dramatic and Contrasting Epi-
 sodes In Her Life.
 Thistelton-Dyer, ill his Royalty In All Ages describes two dramatic and tragically contrasted episodes in the life of Marie Antoinette, the lovely and i'll fated queen of France. Once. in the days of her greatest popularity. when she went to the opera of "lphi- genial when Achilles came to the line Let us sing and celebrate the queen.' he turned toward the radiant young sovereign and sang two additional i'm promptu lines of charming compliment. This graceful and unexpected homage so delighted the audience that "all was shouting and clapping of hands. and what never happened at the opera be fore -t the chorus was encored, and there were cries of Long live the queenr at which expression of feeling her majesty was so affected that she shed tears.'
 On the next occasion, when Marie Antoinette's sun of popular favor had set and she was nearing the tragic close of her life. one of the actresses in Unforeseen Events Eowed to her as she sang the words. 'Ah. how I love my mistressr' In a moment all was in uproar. and the theater was full of hoarse. angry cries of No mistress. No master. Iibertyr and ''No master. No QueenI" and it was some minutes before the tumult quieted down and it was possible to proceed with the play

MARK TWAIN IN UNIFORM.
Occasion When the Humorist Posed as
 General Sherman.

General Sherman.
 Albert Bigelow Paine in Harper's tells of the time when Mark Twain on address found himself in the same train with General sherman. who had been attending dinner in Hartford
 "A pleasant incident followed, which Clemens himself used to relate. Gen eral Sherman attended the banquet and Secretary of War Robert Lincoln. Next morning Clemens and Twichell were leaving for West Point, where they were to address the military stu dents, guests on the same special train on which Lincoln and Sherman had their private car. This car was at the end of the train, and when the two passengers reached the station Sher- man and Lincoln were out on the rear platform addressing the multitude. Clemens and Twichell went in and, taking seats, waited for them.
 "As the speakers finished the train started, but they still remained out side. lowing and waving to the assem- bled citizens, so that it was under good headway before they came in. Sher- man came up to Clemens, who sat smoking unconcernedly.
 "'Well,' be said, who told you you could go in this carP
 Nobody said Clemens.
 "'Do you expect to pay extra fare? asked Sherman.
 "'No.' said Clemens; T don't expect to pay any fare
 "'Oh, you don'tI Then you'll work your way
 Sherman took off his coat and mili- tary hat and made Clemens put them on.
 "'Now,' said he, whenever the train stops you get out on the platform and represent me and make speech
 "It was not long before the train stopped, and Clemens, according to or ders, stepped out on the rear platform and bowed to the crowd. There was a cheer at the sight of his military uni form. Then the cheer waned, became a murmur of uncertainty, followed by an undertone of discussion. Presently somebody said:
 Say, that ain't Sherman; that's Mark Twain which brought another cheer.
 Then Sherman had to come out, too, and the result was that both spoke They kept this up at the different sta tions. and sometimes Robert Lincoln came out with them. and when there was time all three spoke, much to the satisfaction of their audiences"

EYES OF A PORTRAIT.
Why They Seem to Follow Observers
 Moving To and Fro. :

Moving To and Fro. -
 The fact that the eyes of some DOT traits follow the observer as he moves to different positions has always been looked upon as d triumph of realism. Although the phenomenon has been exaggerated in some instances, it is not a myth. If the eyes of the portrait look at the observer in d favorable pC- sition they will continue to dc, so with in wide angle extending to any Situ- ation where a view is possible. Con- trarily. if the eyes do not Intentionally look at the observer they will not do so even though he take his station at a point where the painted gaze is seem ingly directed.
 Suppose that the portrait head is in three-quarter face turned to our left. with the eyes turned toward the spec tator. If we move to the right we do not obtain another view of the head that is, we do not move into the profile view that would be the case in real life. We see the same three-quarter head, but lessened in perspective. The picture itself is on a flat canvas and becomes narrowed in perspective, as does any fat surface beheld at less than right angle. A square seen at less than right angle tends toward the projection of an OblOng. Under these conditions the face of the portrait be- comes elongated proportionally. It still looks at the spectator because it pos sesses all the drawing that was seen in the front view, narrow now because viewed from an acute angle.
 This fact will be more readily under stood by the spectator if he will half close his eyes until unable to appreci- ate the surroundings of the picture and tle acute angle which the painted surface bears to him. The contraction of the features will be apparent at once. The photograph of portrait at an acute angle would show the per spective narrowing more plainly. It Is this contracted portrait that is seen upon moving to the right or left of it. The principle would be the same if the spectator take station higher or low CT than the picture, except that the head would then appear to be widened instead of narrowed. Whatever the position of the spectator, the eyes will look at him Gf they do so in the. first place) because there Is no other place for them to look.-Harper's Weekly

 The following story was told at DO litical banquet by a well known poll tician:
 ''I was going to the seashore, and the jerkwater railroad left me at a wretch ed station about ten miles from the resort. However. we were consoled by the information that the numbering old stage made daily trip. and l went to bargain for my fare.
 "'Do you want to go first. second or third class? asked the driver.
 True to my creed that nothing was too good for me. chose first class passage at 75 cents.
 "'An right Git in and choose your seat
 "I watched the other passengers pa y their quarters and half dollars. but when we started found twenty-five cent man on my left and fifty cent man on my right. In fact, all passen gers were sandwiched in regardless of financial benefits.
 "I was mad clear through. but luckily did not boil over We logged along un til we struck an awful piece of road. when the driver stopped, stuck the blacksnake whip into the socket, tied the lines round it. jumped of his seat. jerked open the door and shouted:
 "'All you twenty-five cent men and you fifty cent men must get out and let the seventy-f1ve cent gent stay where he is. The fifty cent men must walk and the twenty-five cent men must push or we'll never get the stage out of this goldarn sinkholeP
 And. gentlemen, this is the political situation. The seventy-ive cent men are riding. the fifty cent men are walk ing. and the poor twenty-five cent beg gar Is pushing the political machine. Are you riding or walking or pushingT St Louis Republic.

 "The doors of this building were open as we were riding past, and in some manner the blocks which were usually kept under the wheels of the hearse must have become dislOdged, for the hearse slowly moved out of the shed and rolled down the hill into the middle of our party, who scattered in all directions,
