men who started the report.

He still kept up his efforts on the sly, however, and was rewarded recently bj' finding a young man who agreed to to show him the tree for a certain remuneration. Negotiations were entered into at once, and the day following the persistent officer had the pleasure of destroying the best hid still he

had ever seen.

It was located near a mountain road, in a cave which was at least three hundred yards in length and ran like a tunnel from one side of a small mountain almost through to the other. The entrance was small, and was almost entirely concealed by the bushy top of a tree which had been felled directly over it. Once inside, the officers found a great tunnel-like cavern, the ceiling of which was thirty feet high in some places. In Hie blind end of this irregu-

lar grotto was a well-equipped still of ; journey,

A few weeks since a healthy and vigorous young man, just returned from a bridal tour, died of typhoid fever in Troy, his sickness being superinduced presumably by the fatigue and exposure incident to the journey.

was the cunningly-devised contrivance for concealing the smoke. The moonshiners had discovered that about thirty feet from the end of the cave in which the still was located stood a dead chestnut tree, about three feet in diameter at the butt and hollow to the very top. This end of the cave had probably at one time been open also, but had been filled up by an enormous carthslide from the top of the mountain. There was, therefore, nothing except earth from the still inside to the tree without, and these daring men had actually dug a small tunnel from the end of the cave to the tree, thus allowing the smoke to enter its hollow beneath the ground. There being no openings in the tree near the earth, the smoke could not escape until it reached the crevices and woodpecker holes in the rotten top. sixty feet in the air. It was this remarkable “stack” which the hunters had seen and started the report of the “smoking tree,” not knowing the true source of the smoke. GARNER TALKED MONKEY.

And it is certain that lie Las learned a good deal about monkeys. Mr. Garner, says the New York Tiroes, once met an oivuu grinder in the street, and with him a monkey, who was going through his dancing and climbing tricks in a dull way, as if it were not much fun, and as if lie would very much rather he racing up trees in his native forest in Africa. Mr. Garner pitied the poor little monkey, and he stopped beside him. Pretty soon he gnvc the sound which means, in monkey talk, something to

The monkey heard it at once and

Mr. Garner repeated it.

The monkey responded, and Mr. Garner bought a banana and gave it to him. Then he made another sound, which meant drink, and the monkey, delighted, quickly showed that a drink would ho well received, and some milk was given to him. Then the poor little monkey tried to show his gratitude. He jumped into Mr. Garner's arms and

some four miles cast of the university grounds. This immense pear-shaped mound of earth marks the last restingplace of hundreds, possibly thousands, of the simple-minded children of nature, who, in times long gone by, held undisputed title to this beautiful region, and with these crumbling bones are interred the implements, ornaments, the remains of campfires, and other evidences which tell the story of the daily life of these people who were

but are not.

The mound, says the San Francisco Examiner, lies with its longer axis north and south, and measures four hundred and seventy feet in length by three hundred and twenty in width, having an area of nearly two acres. In height it ranges from about two feet at the southern end to ten feet at its highest point, near the northern ex-

tremity.

The soil used in its construction was originally the ordinary black adobe, such as is found in the fields surrounding the mound, but now rendered much lighter by the admixture of the ashes from a thousand campfires. It was evidently taken from the territory immediately surrounding the mound, and in process of time the great treneh thus formed became a swamp with its characteristic growth of long grasses

and scrubby willows.

Diligent inquiry among tho older residents of the neighborhood has failed to elicit anything trustworthy concerning its history. There is a dim tradition, indeed, that when this region was first vi->ited by whites (he mound marked the site of a flourishing Indian village, but it is impossible to say just how much cre<k>nce should be given to tfijs story Nothing as yet taken from

The Ne’.v Library lluthltng at tVj’.shlnxton the Largest Known of It* Kind. In round numbers the national library of the United States contains 700,000 bound volumes and 200,000 pamphlets, all of which are at present crowded into a room in the capitol—a room which was full fifteen years ago. according to Kate Field's Washington. Yet the accumulation has gone on until there is barely room to walk about in the library itself, while a dozen rooms elsewhere in the building are filled with the overflow. With the need in plain sight it took congress several years to make up its mind to erect a library building, but finally in April, IS.sfi, it decided to do it. A site was chosen on Capitol hill directly east of the capitol itself, and S.VSO.OOO was appropriated for its purchase. Forty or fifty buildings had to be removed before excavations could Ik? made for the foundation. It took 2,700 feet of fencing twelve feet high to inclose the ground, ami it was nearly four years after the fence was built before any part of the building was visible over its top. There is a great deal of the library—470 feet long by 240 feet wide. It covers 111,000 square feet of ground and will be 140 feet in height from tho ground to t|je top of the dome when finished. That is, next to the capitol, it will be largest edifice in Washington and the largest library' building in the

world.

GLADSTONE NEVER TOADIED. A Story About the Princess of Wales' Kindness and T»ct. When Mr. Gladstone recently dined with Queen Victoria for the last time as prime minister he was in the best of spirits. He sparkled with wit and badinage, told new stories and compared notes with the queen on bygone events, not hesitating to contradict her if wrong. The venerable queen has said several times that there were two men who flatly’ contradicted her and never toadied. One was Mr. Gladstone. the other her Scotch servant, John Brown. A pleasant incident of the journey to the north, taken some years ago by Mr. Gladstone. Lord Tennyson and a large number of friends, is related by Mr. Lucy. “After luncheon at Copenhagen,” he writes, “it was suggested that Tennyson should follow his custom of an afternoon, and read aloud from his poems. The poet laureate usually’ had seated nqxt to him the young lady of the party, and had formed a pleasant habit of holding her hand with fatherly affection while he declaimed favorite passages from his works. In the arrangement of guests and visitors in tlie smokingroom after the Copenhagen lunch, the princess of Wales chanced to sit on Tennyson’s left, the place usuallyoccupied by the other young lady. Tennyson read 'Maud.' As he proceeded, losing himself, as usual, in the intensity of the poem, the other guests were horrified to observe his left hand fall into its accustomed position, and seize that of ids companion on the left. Her royal highness smiled and left her hand passive in the poet's vigorous grasp, where it was held till the reading was finished.” The “young lady of the party” was the charming Margot Tennant.
