Previous to that time for many years his photographic headquarters had been on Union square. - Sarony had long been a conspicuous fig‘ are in the metropolis, and in his depart- ment of art has had no competitors who could rival him. He began his career as a lithographic artist, and his ambitions and talents kept him in the front rank of his profession. He was born in Quebec in 1821, and his father was an old Brunswicker. Sarony, after being in the lithographic business for several years, sold out his business in 1858 and went to Europe to study art. Afterward he took up the business of pho- tographing in Birmingham, England, where he remained until 1866. Then he came to New York and established him- self in his new business and met with wonderful success from the very first. Among his earliest sitters were Peter Cooper, William Cullen Bryant, the poet Longfellow, Charlotte Cushman, Forrest. Booth and McCullough, the actors. He also won the reputation of being one of the greatest charcoal artists of America, and his studio contains many beautiful pictures of an allegorical character which _ he has drawn in his leisure moments. He was never idle, and when he was not at- tending tO his photographic work he was drawing and sketching in his studio. Talk of Making Brynn Senator. SEATTLE, Wash.

In former days it was the ambition of a Scotch peasant, poor as he might be, to see one of his sons in the pulpit. Sir Walter Scott relates a pathetic in- stance of the intensity of this ambi- lion. Scott, while attending lectures at the Univ«.'sity of Edinburgh, made acquaintu' with a youth who so in- terested l ,' that he frequently in. vitcd the to a stroll in the coun- try. Onc ,' they met a venerable “blue go‘: a. beggar, clean and ruddy, wl;.‘ traditional outside gar- ment, when - the name of the mendi- cant class, .vas worn as though it was the fog. of a Roman Senator. Scott gave the beggar alms, but his companion exhibited restless confu- sxon. ‘ “DO you know anything to the dis- honor of the old beggar?” asked Scott, seeing the nervousness of his fellow- student. “God forbid!” said the youth. “He is my own father! He stands bleach- ing in the wind that he may get means to pay for my education.” Scott kept the lads secret, and held on to his companionship. For sev- eral days the youth’s seat was vacant, and on Scott again meeting the “blue gown,” the old man said: ‘ “God bless you! You have been kind to Willie. He has often spoken bf you. Come to my roof and see him, for he has been sick.” Scott went to the beggar‘s cottage, and found “'illie sitting on a bench before the door, enjoying the sun- shine. The voluntary bcggnr wel- comed him, and they sat down to a dinner of mutton and potatoes. Dur- ing the conversation the old man cx- claimed, with much emotion: “Please God, I may live to see my bairn wag his head in a. pulpit yet!” Scott told his mother about Willie and the 01d “blue gown,” and through her influence the mendicant’s son was appointed to a tutorship in the north of Scotland. Had His Reasons. There is an Irish porter employed in a large commission house in New York, one of the kind that will make a witty reply to any sort of question. He is very fond of expressing his ' views in general, and has a great ad- miration Of his arguments. If he fails to get a listener he will talk to him- self in lieu of something better. A member of the firm being annoyed one day at his constant muttering, which he was unfortunate enough to hear, sent for him. .- “See here, John, did it ever occur to you that your constant talk and mut- tering is a great annoyance to people that happen to be around? Why on earth do you chatter to yourself, any- how?” “Shure, I have two reasons for doin’ that.” ‘ “Two they?” “One of them is that I loike ter talk to a sinsible man, and the other is that I loike ter hear a sinsible man talk.”-—Harper’s Round Table. Government Seeds. reasons! Well, what are The government seedshop is getting ~ in fine shape to distribute the $130,000 worth of seeds in 1897 ordered by con- gress. This equals $288.89 for each representative, senator and delegate . in congress, or enough to allow 30,000 . packets of seeds to each member. in- cluding field seeds in quart packets. Secretary Morton has closed contracts “for the freshest and best obtainable varieties adapted to general cultiva- tion,” as the new provision of law "specifies, but application for seed must be made to members of congress. In buying this seed, bids were invited from all firms, and to insure seed adapted to the various sections, the contracts were awarded to a responsi- ble firm in each section—eastern, south Atlantic, middle western, north- western and southwestern states; contracts for the Pacific states are yet to be awarded. So far the law could not well have been complied with more faithfully. Level the Roadsides. Roads are difficult to keep free from weeds. This is partly due to the fact that most of them have been graded, leaving deep ditches and irregular ex- cavations between the wagon track and the fence, making it impossible to go over the ground with the mower. The weeds are consequently left nu- cut. This can be remedied now by the use of a plow, barrow and road grader. Plow down the steep bank of the ditches, and level them with the bar- row and grader. The slopes will be sufficiently reduced toadmit of cutting the weeds with a,machine. Plow shut all useless ditches or holes made by hauling away the earth for grading at a distance. Seed to grass, and the high- ways can b..- cheaply kept in good order. .For Sighted. "ii-hat in thunder are you speakin‘ to the school children for?” asked the voter.

A game called “wishes” is played by giving each person who partici- pates a. card or slip of paper, on which he writes three or more wishes and signs ,his name. The cards are collected and the -wishes read aloud i by one of the number. The others try to guess, from the character of the wishes, who it was that made them. When this is successfully done, that person is expected to tell why his wishes were made. Among people who know each Other well the guess- ing and the discussions that are apt to grow out of the defence of the po. sition taken in wishing for certain things, material or‘ spiritual, are in- teresting.

Webster met him in the course of a few days, and asked him why he didn’t call. “Because,” said the man, “I supposed that you would be offend- ed, and wouldn’t trade with me any ~more.” To which Webster .replied: “Oh, sue me as many times as you like, but for heaven’s sake don’t starve me to death.”—-Argonaut. fire-pot.
