Ancient English Castle.

One of the finest and best preserved of the ancient northern castles of England is the seat of the Duke of Cleveland. King Canute presented It with other offerings at the shrine of St. Cuthbert, but it passed out of the hands of the monks in 1131. Portions of the older building are so skillfully Incorporated with the new that It seems a perfect specimen of a castle of the fourteenth century. The castle is of great size and strength, and the walls surrounding ft occupy about two acres of ground. The pleasure grounds and park are of a magnificence commensurate with that of the palaee they surround.

A Long Look Ahead.

Politicians are even now weighing the possibilities involved in the next presidential ejection. The papers are full of predictions as to the future which are somewhat too self-confident. But it is safe to say that a systematic course of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters will renew health in the bilious, rheumatic or nervous.

Women Strong Partisans.

With respect to last year’s election in New Zealand Sir Robert Stont, In the Australasian Review of Reviews, says that the prediction that party zeal and partisan feeling would not blind women to the defects of the character of candidates lias not been fulfilled and that the women were carried away Just as much by party criqs as the_ men were and party dominated them.

Poultice Starts a Fire.

Pipe insurance companies liave all sorts of experiences and their officers can tell many curious stories. One of the queerest.fires fell within the business of the Connecticut [Fire Insurance Company of this city recently. A house was set on tire by a bathtub and the tub was set on tire by a poultice. A man in a Western city was suffering from a bad cold and bis wife, at the doctor’s orders, prepared a poultice for his chest. When she started to put It on it proved to be too hot. Accordingly she took it to the bathroom and set it into the bathtub to cool. This happened to be a fine tub liqed with celluloid, which served as a sort of enamel. The heat of the poultice started the celluloid a-going and the burning tub set things going generally. The department was called out and the house was well wet down, for which the company had to pay. This, so far as is known, is the first instance on record where a bathtub set a house on fire or where a poultice kindled a bathtub.—Hartford Courant.

HENRIK IBSEN.

the Great Norwegian Writer Was 70 Years Old the Other Day. Ibsen chibs and various other literary and dramatic organizations the world over recently celebrated the 70tb birthday of Henrik Ibsen, the great Norwegian writer. Few foreign men of letters have attracted such universal attention as this retiring and frequently almost inaccessible Norwegian writer. Of his works much is known; of his personality, little. Ibsen was born In the little town of Skien, in a mountainous region of Norway, and his early life was passed under restrictions that were far from havinga tendency to develop the latent genius of the boy. His education was received in a private school under the conduct of two theological students, and later in the university of Christiana. While at college, and even before, he had done considerable writing, and his plays were so well received that, a’, the close of his college career, he wa‘ engaged as dramatic manager of th principal theater of the country. H continued here until the Danes got int< trouble with the Prussians in 18G-I Then he became disgusted at his owi countrymen for not joining the Danes, and began to write caustic epigrams criticising the spirit of the Norwegian masses. His railings accomplished nothing, but he himself became so disgusted that he left the country and remained in Rome and Dresden about twenty-five years. He wrote niany books, and for each there was always a ready sale. His writings have been translated Into several languages', and when it becomes known that Ibsen has a new book coming there is a great stir among all classes of people, and the wonder is what the book is to be about. This Is a secret that is withheld even from the members of his own family. In his home life Ibsen is a bundle of peculiarities. He has a Avife and son,

who is a doctor of philosophy, and is married into one of the most distinguished families in the country. His home is bright and cheerful. His study is a cosy little corner, stored with a collection of well-selected and well-mark-ed books, affording ample conveniences and comforts within, and looking upon a panorama of magnificent scenery without. He is a man of moods. If you can catch him in the humor, you can get from him readily one day what no amount of persuasion could Avrlng from him the next. In the throes of composition he is absolutely inaccessible. He never goes to church, and does not believe In church organizations. He thinks srell of Americans, and frequently talks of making an American tour.

EMBRYONIC TORNADO.

Singular I henomenon Witnessed at and Near New Orleans. A singular,phenomenou recently met the eyes of she good burghers of New Orleans, La. Some excitedly called out that it was a cyclone, others called it a waterspout, and still others dubbed it whirlwind and tornado. Whatever it was, it was, at all events, very active and menacing for a quarter of an hour, and kept a large portion of the community in painful suspense until it disappeared. The w r hatever-it-was appeared dramatically over Lake Pontcliartrain, darting down in a livid, sulphurous haze, and hanging down like a great blue black icicle from a heavy black pall of cloud. Although a great distance - from the center of the city, It could be seen that the cloud cylinder was revolving at a terrible clip in space. For a while it hung gracefully pendant, then by force the centrifugal action began to lift at the bottom until it had assumed the shape of an enormous

The next change was one of gradual dissolution, the tail curling up and then flying off at right angles to the eastward in thin black vermiculate streamers like snakes. At one time in. the process of dissolution it looked as if it were going to reform, but of a sudden gave over the idea and melted away In space, much as a cloudlet does in the blue of a summer day.

a perfect coast defender at the Watervliet arsenal. The weight of the ingot is ninety-nine and two-tenths gross tons the Aveight of the gun completed for use will be 126 tons. The length of the gun will be forty-nine, feet, and its range will be sixteen miles. This gun, one of six, will be six tons heavier and five feet longer than the biggest Krupp in existence. It will need a charge of powder weighing 1,000 pounds to fire a projectile weighing 2,350 pounds. This projectile will fly at the rate of 2,000 feet per second. The gun, Avhen erected for business at Romer shoals, New York harbor, will have cost $500,000.

To My Left Hand. I envy you your life of rest. You live in luxury. You e’er enjoy the very best the fates reserve for me. You’ve never worked in all your life. You’ve never known a care. You’ve always lived apart from strife —existence sweet and rare. My right has e’er my writing done, while you have stood aside. You’ve had your full share of the fun, and yet in peace abide. You’ve never penned a line for me, nor ever struck a blow, And it is very plain to see you’ve never known a Avoe. And yet, dear friend, I cannot say the time will ever be That there will be the daivn of day when you’re not dear to me. My right hand is more useful, yes, but prithee, do not pout. You are a friend, I must confess, I cannot do without. So here’s to yon, my left hand, may you ever live in peace, And may the joys that round you stand forever more increase. Let others sneer because your days are passed in luxury, And ever placed in happy ways, you’re mighty dear to me. —St. Louis Republic.

A Comparison of Sea and Land.

The triviality of the sea compared with the land is the theme of a recent article by John Holt Schooling. A bucket 743 miles deep and 743 miles from sides to side would hold every drop of the ocean. This bucket could rest quite firmly on the British Isles. To fill the bucket one would need to work 10,000 steam pumps, each sucking up 1,000 tons of sea per second, for 422 years. So if any one wants to be rid of the sea, the way is plain. But to get rid of the earth would be 4.555 times more difficult, requiring 2,000 great guns, each firing 1,000 projectiles a second, each projectile consisting of 100,000 tons of earth. At the end of 1,000 years this mundane sphere would be all shot away.

Railroad Building in China.

For more than a year work has been going on on fourteen miles of railroad from Shanghai to Woosung and the grading has not yet been finished. Not a tie or a rail has been laid. Only Chinese workmen are employed. About a month or two ago the first sod was turned at* Hankow for the HankowPeking Railway, but its further prosecution depends upon the success of the Belgian syndicate in floating a proposed loan for Its construction.

Picturesque Costume.

The Princess of Montenegro, the beautiful mother of the Crown Princess of Italy, has been visiting Rome and startling the Romans by wearing her picturesque national costume. When driving she wears a bright scarlet silk cloak thickly embroidered with gold, and on her head a diadem of black velvet glistened with gold coins and gems. For the opera she dresses in cloth of gold.

TAKES THE PLUM.

Probably the. Queerest Highway Robbery < n Record. • Of all the unique stories of robbery ever told to the police that which concerns Night Clerk Arnold, of the Somerset Hotel, William Ball, and a few others is awarded the plum. Arnold was approached Saturday night by a darkfaced, good-looking young fellow, who produced a revolver and demanded money. “I have only 25 cents,” answered the night clerk, as he tried to get out of rang®. “Got a watch?” inquired the robber, lowering the weapon. “No, I bavpn’t; this quarter is all I have. I’m a poor man and it strikes me that you ought to whack up on this deal.” “Well,” remarked the hold-up man, in a kindly voice, “I’ll go you. Just you wait a while till I get some change.” The intruder shoved the pistol into Ills pocket and departed, and Arnold sat down to brood over his misfortune. He didn’t expect for a moment that the despoiler of his pin money meant what he said. He waited —five —ten —fifteen minutes, and still no robber with the promised rebate returned. He concluded that it might be well to notify the police, when a cherry voice reiparked, as a door slammed shut: \ “Hello, old man; think I wasn't coming back? Here’s the dough—had to go quite a ways down the avenue —uot many of those people open at 4 o’clock in the morning, you know. I finally woke up a waiter in a restaurant and here's your share of the proceeds; a dime’s enough for coffee and rolls.” After saying this the gentlemanly footpad laid 15 cents on the counter, shook hands cordially with liis victim, remarked that he hoped he did not feel unkindly toward him, and then departed.—Chicago News.

The Songs of Childhood.

Rhythmic motion is almost the first thing which appeals to a child. While It is alleged that “the hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world,” the hand is subordinate to the mother’s voice. I have frequently seen children of eighteen months responding accurately to. time and tune, when they could neither say nor interpret the words thereof. The songs of children should be cheerful in sentiment, teach lome moral lesson, and at the same time teem with enthusiastic activity, being physically educative. Those who find It difficult to entertain their children would better own a collection of such songs, and also visit the kindergarten to get in the spirit of the songs and games. It would be still better if a body of mothers should seek instruction of some kindergartner. The songs and games might be acquired in a comparatively short time in the winter evenings. lam sure any mother would feel amply compensated for the outlay, by her own augmented power to please and interest her children. Songs accompanied by clapping are a source of unending delight, but in order to make the clapping musical the claps should be alternately hard and soft, so that the one seems to be an echo of the other. Try “Yankee Doodle” in this way and see for yourself.—Woman’s Home Companion.

It Will Pay.

It will pay to carefully read the descriptive advertisement of Alabastine appearing in this paper, explaining the difference between these goods and kalsomines. Consumers should beftr in mind that Alabastine is unlike all the various kalsomines sold on the market under different names. Alabastine stands preeminent and alone as a durable wall coating. All consumers in buying should see that the goods are in packages and properly labeled.

Apparel.

“See here,” exclaimed the customs house official as he held up a half dozen black battles. “I thought you said this trunk contained nothing but wearing apparel?” “That’s what I said,” answered the tourist. “Well, what do you call these?” asked the official. “Nightcaps,” was the calm reply.— Chicago Daily News.

A WORD WITH HUSBANDS.

Give Yoor Wife a Little Praise and See How It Works. “If husbands only knew, or, If knowing, only cared, how very much'their words and manners affect the temperature of the home world, they would never, by word or deed, leave it enshrouded in gloom,” argues Mrs. A. M. Marriott, in Woman’s Home Companion. “To most wives the husband is the sun around which every thought revolves. There is scarcely an instant in which his presence is not felt as she goes about her work, or even when at rest. If she is preparing the meals, the way John likes this or that, or some remark he has made about some article of food is recalled to mind; if she looks about her she sees his hats and coats hanging pn the hooks, and the hats invariably wear the same expression John’s face wore when he left in the morning; a jolly, good-humored look, if he went away pleasant; if angry, a gruff, defiant attend-to-your-own-busi-ness air takes the place of the so lately gentle pliable shapes in felt, and fairly bristle with wrath over some trifle, but still enough to obscure the sun in the little world for many a weary day, perchance, ere it is seemingly forgotten. “There is no true woman but will repay her husband over and over again for kind, thoughtful treatment. He is ready to call her childish, and she may seem so to him; but one thing Is sure —a woman never forgets. All little deeds of love or thoughtfulness sown by his hand yield a certain and abundant harvest. She may love her home better than any other spot on earth, yet she sometimes gets so weary of the daily routine of never-ending duties that fall to her lot that she cannot help an occasional feeling of envy for those Avho have more time for recreation, for going abroad, for all the little things dear to the heart of every woman, but which the stern hand of duty most effectually debars her from enjoying. Still, for all that, she would not for the whole world exchange places, even if she could, Avith any other woman, leaving home and John—dear old John—as the price of her freedom from care. * * * If your Avife has been a faithful and true Avife to you, tell her so. Do not think it lowers your manliness any to let her know that she still has a place iu your affections. She has toiled early and late for you and your children, through sickness and health, and self-denial has grown to be her motto. It takes but little from her loved ones to make her happy, so do not begrudge her a Avord of praise noAV and then as her just reward, and of far more value to her starving heart than gold. There are some things which money can never buy, and Avounds Avhich it cannot heal; but love levels all obstacles, overcomes all difficulties, and immeasurably sweetens life.”

To suffer for years with a prevailing painful ailment, which baffled skillful medical treatment, yet which was cured by a simple household remedy, is the lot which befell Mrs. George L.

I tried different doctors and many proprietary remedies, but was not benefited. “Last March I tried Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, and before I had finished the first box I began to feel that they were doing me good. I continued using them and steadily grew better. “I have used thirteen boxes of the pills and to-day fee! better than for the past fifteen years. My appetite is good, I feel bright, cheerful, and have a desire to live and enjoy society. “I have been a member of the Methodist Church for many years, but for six years was unable to attend. I am able now to attend the church services regularly and certainly appreciate that privilege. I consider Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People a wonderful medicine.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Fills for Pale People are composed of vegetable remedies that exert a powerful influence in purifying and enriching the blood, thus curing many diseases.

HE LIKES WESTERN CANADA.

Has a Splendid Farm. Lota of Stock and Pays Scarcely Any Taxes. Dominion City, Man., Jan. 17, IS9B. At the request of the Immigration Department of the Canadian Govern* ment I give the following information:

land in Dominion City, Manitoba, Avhere I now reside. I have been very successful in Manitoba, and have more than doubled my capital since I went to Canada. I took about $2,500 Avorth of yheat, 200 bushels of flax and 000 bushels of oats. I do mixed farming. I milk as much as ten coavs. Dairying Hud stock raising has paid me well. 1 have on the farm now 44 head of cattle and 18 head of horses, and sold during the past year, 1897, $425 worth of fat cattle. I have good buildings and a comfortable house and good stable. My children have had better school advantages in Manitoba than they had in Minnesota. The district schools are very thorough and good. My son, now 16 years of age, is teaching the public school in our district and receives a salary of $420 per year. All my children have done well at school. I have $1,700 insurance on my buildings on the farm. I also own my personal Avarehouse and ship all my grain through it to the railway station at Dominion City. It is free of debt. I have no prejudice against the State of Minnesota, as I made a living and a little more Avliile in the State, but avouUl not take a farm as a gift in Minnesota and leave Manitoba. The taxation in Minnesota was too great. 1 paid taxes oh my stock and chattels; no such taxes have ever been exacted in Manitoba from me and my land taxes are about one-half or less than it Avas in Minnesota. I am delighted with my new home and expect in a feAv years to be in circumstances that will enable me to take life easy. Yours very truly, S. G. MAYNES. P.

Sentim ntal Royal Burn[?]mes.

History gives sixty-eight sentimental surnames to emperors and kings whom it chronicles. For Instance: Charles VIII. of France had the alias appellation of “the affable,” Philippe I. of France that of “the amorous,” Alphonse XI. of Leon and Castile “the avenger,” Victor Emmanuel “re galantuomo,” etc. Many potentates are ranked by history under the same alias. Eight are “good,” forty-one are “great,” seven are “conquerors,” two “cruel,” two “fair” aud four “fat.” But none is surnamed “the happy.”
