The uflicial refused permission. I—le ex- plained that such a} liberty ’could not be allowed; that it never had been and never could be, A few weeks later the emperor accidentally learned of the in— :ident, and at once sent an aid-de-camp ._to inform Prof. Menzel that instruc— ltions had been given to the custodian of Sans Souci to light up the music“ [room for his benefit on a’certain even— ? ing, and that if he‘ could make it con- venient to bring his sketching mate— rials at that time he would have the liberty to make as many studies as he liked. The artist expressed his thanks and accepted the invitation. When he drove up to the portico of Sans Souci on the evening named he was met by a gentleman wearing the costume of the favorite aid-de-camp of Frederick the Great, who escorted him into the palace, Where, to his amaze- ment, he found a party of twenty or thirty ladies and gentlemen dressed in the costume of the gold-en age of Germany, when Sans Souci was the cen- ter of social gayety and the‘artistic and literary life of E-urOpe. He was presented to them one after another in the names of the historical charac- ters each represented, and was then informed by the aid—de-camp, whom by that time he had recognized as the emperor himself, that they would sit as his models, in order that his sketch- es might be accurate and complete. At the close of the evening a supper was served .in the dining room of Freder- ick the Great in a manner that was not only picturesque, but absolutely accurate. Before supper, however, at the orders of 'the emperor, the ladies and gentlemen posed in the ball room to represent a party of Frederick the Great’s guests dancing the minuet. The artist made elaborate sketches, which are being worked into a histor- ical picture that will have great value. —Cor. Chicago Record. w . old -. C L WOUND ONCE IN FORTY YEAR. A Clock Which is Constructed to Run That Length of Time. Two years ago a. South Chicago jeweller did some figuring. I-Ie cal- culated he would in all probability live forty years. He knew it takes at least two minutes to wind the ordin- ary house clock. At that rate he fig- ured he would, during the rest of his life, spend about sixty days, of his val- uable time winding the clock. Then he decided to make a clock that would have to (be wound but once in forty years. ‘ I This forty—year timepiece is fifteen inches in diameter, and weighs seventy—five pounds. The movement is geared so that the barrel-wheel containing the mainspring revoiyyes once in two and a. half years. V When this wheel has made fifty-six revolutions somebody will have to give the key seventeen turns. The clock will then be wound up for an- other forty years. The first wheel from the barrel-wheel crowds around at the rate of one turn a year. 'The dial—plate is six inches in diameter. A writer in the Boston Globe fur- the making of the work took most of the jeweller’s leis- ure for twenty-four months. The movement is full-jewelled. The clock will be put in a. hermetically sealed glass case, and it will work in a vac: uum, thus lessening friction and pre— venting'the oil from drying. Why the Shah was Killed. The late Shah of Persia, according to a recent story, was assassin-atd not for political purposes, but through re~ venge. His murderer, Mahomed Riza. was a theological student, but was compelledto become a trader by the confiscation of his property. He sold some of his goods to the son of the Shah, and in due time presented his bill. For this he was thrown into prison and his wife transferred to the Prince’s harem.- After seven years he was released and fled to Constantino— ple. At an opportune time he return- ed, disguised, to T'eheran, and, Wait- ing a chance, shot the Shah, crying: “The tree that bears bitter fruit must be cut down.” ' Precise. “So you don’t approve of so liberal a plan of autonomy for the Cubans," said one Spanish official. “Certainly not,” was the reply. “What would you suggest?” “Well, I don’t want to be unreason- able. I’d tell them that they will be permitted to do anything they want to, provided they will guarantee not to want to do anything that we haven’t told them we wanted them to do."- Washington Star. Appropriate Name. “These scales, for instance, have a great sale among coal dealers,“ said the manufacturer to his visitor. “I see they are called ‘Ambush,’ ” re- marked the other; “that's an odd name.” “Odd, but appropriate.

Shoes and Stockings. Miss Dorothy Drew is the youngest member of the Gladstone family. This young lady while yet a baby gave evidence of-a spirit of detrmina- tion worthy of her famous , origin. Long before she could frame words to express her convictions Miss Drew in an emphatic way proclaimed war against such conventional embarrass ments to freedom 'as shoes and stock-- ings. _———I.._—nL-.J.._._.,__—_...~.. . DOROTHY DREW. The. “Grand Old Man,” her mater» nal grandfather, took sides with the baby, and Miss Dorothy Drew, nOW a little miss of four or five, has, all un- aware of her right to fame, become a confirmed Kneippist. ' Her Majesty the Queen, having heard many interesting and amusing stories concerning Miss Dorothy Drew, bade the young lady to bestow the hpnor of a visit from her small but distinctive personage upon her sovereign. Subjects of Her Majesty are not given to excusesnr When Miss Dorothy Drew was made aware of the tremendous honor bestowed upon her she informed her family that she would accept Her Majesty’s invitation provided she might go barefooted. It required the united efforts of the entire Gladstone contingent, including the doting grandpapa, to induce Miss Drew to wear shoes to the Court of St. James. The picture reproduced is taken from the celebrated oil portrait by Burne—Jones. Little Miss Drew is shown arrayed as- she would have gone to court if permitted. ' Makes 1: Bullet Out of a Nickel. , A Union Pacific engineer has a fash- ion of making unique pocket pieces for his friends. He runs a passenger en- gine West, and when oiling, previous to a run, he drops a nickel five-cent piece into the brass oilcup on the cross- head of the piston rod. His run is 300 miles. When he reaches his destina- titm he unscrews the top of the oilcup, and takes the nickel out. It has been metamorphosed into a curious little button with an evenly turned rim,with- in which, on the inside, is the counter- sunk head of liberty, divested of her stars, and on the other side’ the V and the wreath. The edge of the crown is as perfect as if it had been pounded on an anvil by an expert Silversmith. Sometimes a. nickel is left in the cup during the round trip, or 600 miles. When taken out it is a nickel bullet, a perfect polished sphere. Who dis— covered this unlque method of turning .the edges of a nickel is not known, but many engineers know of it, Chicago Tribune. A The Advantage of as Change. “Last Winter I courted a girl who couldn’t get enough of oysters. In the Summer time she wanted ice cream. In the _Fall I changed girls.” . an advantageous “And was it change?” . “Yes. The present possessor of my heart doesn’t care for oysters in any form. Her fad is lectures. That girl wants to attend a. lecture every blessed night.” “Rather expensive, eh?” “Not at all. Our town doesn’t av- erage a lecture a month.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer. What, He Was There For. “Where do you get your papers, my little man?” . "‘Oh, I buy ’em of Johnny Green.” “And who is Johnny Green?” “He’s a. newsboy—he buys ‘em in the Times alley." “What do you pay him for them?” “Ficents.” , "What do you sell them for?” “Ficents.” J' “You don’t make anyzhing at that?" “Nope.” “Then what do you sell themfor?" “Oh, just to get to holler.”—-Denver. Times. ' Two Successful Brothers. “Ever hear 'of John Billingsboy? Great student at college. Worked hard. Graduated at the head of his class. Finest Latin scholar the institution ever turned out. Well, he’s professor in the college now, and getting along splendidly. Has $1,800 a year.”. “Never heard of him before. . What of him?” “Nothing, only he is a brother of that famous little herse jdckey, Biliingsbov. who weighs 98 pounds'a'fid makes $100 a'day.”—-C'hicago-Tribune. ‘ 4 "““'i O ' o -., .,. CURRENT COMMENT. Nathan Strauss, the president of tho New York Health Department, ha: some. philanthropic hobbies, among Which is the delivery of sterilized mill among the poor. He says proper foot for children in summer would 'reducc - the death rate among children to the. among adults, which would save many thousand lives. It .is estimated that the Cuban wai since it began three years ago ha: caused commercial loss to the Unitec States aggregating more than $240,000, 000. These figures ought to convino even poor old decrepit Spain that tht real desire and purpose of this govern» men-t is for peace and not for war. Cotton and iron are being shipper from Gulf ports to Japan by the way of Cape Horn. The trade is profitable and that route is preferred to the par- rail and part water route by way of thu Pacific Coast.

Not only is the idea novel. but it is surprising to learn that nearly all. the people of the city will be enroll ed in the committee. Every membe‘. will wear a badge, and visitors will bl at liberty to address any one w-ht wears the badge and ask for informa tion just as much as he likes. The member, on the other hand, will b. pledged to treat the visitor courteously and answer his questions, or put hin in the way of getting them answered.’ An old miner who came out of the Klondike a few days ago put the case in this way: “To the man of gooc health and strength, who will toil like the laborer who tears up the streets who has suflicient money to land 2 year's supply of provisions from 1,004. to 1,900 miles up the Yukon river, with over $500 in cash after this expense, 2 barrel of patience, a willingness to take all chances and deny himself the pleas ures of life for several years, I say go.’ The conditions named are evidently based on experience and good judg ment. It is said that the bill providing for the establishment of anational milita- ry park at Vicksburg will be favorably reported in this Congress, as it was it the last, though not acted on. Gooc military critics consider the Vicksburg campaign, from the time that Grant crossed to the eas. bank of the river the most wonderful of the whole war and perhaps of modern times. Many vestiges of it are still easily traced. and thousands of soldiers survive who can locate' laud-marks that are miss- ing. The latest scheme for a ship canal between the lakes and the ocean con- templates following the St. Lawrence river to a point opposite the head 01 Lake George, the utilization of that lake and a canal thence to tidewatei at, Albany. The differences of level between Lakes Eric and Ontario and at other places along the route are to be overcome by using the newly invented pneumatic locks, one of which will, dc- - the work of a dozen of the old-style hy- draulic looks. The proposed route is chosen on the ground of economy, as it will cost considerably less to build than any of the others that have been advocated; but against this are to be set the disadvantages that the principal part of the canalyis to be on Canadian soil, and that it is to be located so far north that navigation will be closed for too great a portion of each year. After a. long .period of neglect tht improvement ‘of the Mississippi is again a subject of current interest and dis- cussion. Congress is taking it up with earnestness, and the press of the Mis- sissippi Valley is reawakening to the importance of the great waterway. The success of the levees in the unprece dented flood of last year settled the question of their usefulness, and swepl away‘a large number of antagonistic.- theories. There are two ways to im. prove the navigation of the Mississippi and both need practical support. One is to deepen the channels, and the oth- er is to make the mostof the existing channel by building light-draught stee. , ‘Jarges.

GLADSTONE AS A Boy; 'Master \Villie’s” Opinion Generally of blast Account in the _Fumily. John Gladstone, the father of the great statesman of Great Britain,'liked that his children should exercise their judgment. by stating the why -‘ and wherefore of every opinion they altered and a college friend Of William’s, Who visited him during the summer of 1829, furnishes amusing pictures ofthe fam- ily customs in that hOuse, “where the children and their parents argued up- on. everything.” They would debate as to whether the trout should be boil- ed or broiled, whether a window should be opened, and whether it was likely to be fine or wet thenext day. It was al- ways perfectly goOd-humored, but curi- ous to a stranger because of the care which all of the. disputants took to ad- vance no propositions, even to the prospects of a rain, rashly. One day Thomas Gladstone knbcked down a Wasp with his handkerchief, ' and was about to crush it on the table, when the father started the question as to whether he had the right to 'kill the insect; and this point was discussed with as much seriousness as if a hu- man life had been at stake. When at last it was adjudged that death was de— served, because it Was a. trespasscr in the drawing-room, a common enemy and a. danger there, it was found that the insect had crawled from under the handkerchief and was flying away with a sniggering sort. of buzz, as if to mock them all. On another occasion William Glad- stone and his sister Mary diSputed as to where a certain picture ought to be hung. An old Scotch servant came, in with a ladder, and stood irresolute while the argument progressed; but as Miss Mary would not yield, William gallantly ceased from speech, though unconvinced, of course. The servant. then hung up the picture where the young lady ordered; but when he had done this, he crossed the room and hammered a nail into the opposite wall. He was asked why he did this. “Aweel, miss, that’ll do to hang the picture on when ye’ll have come round to Master, Willie’s opecnion.” The family generally did come round to William’s opinion, for the resources of his tongue-fencing were wonderful, and his father, who admired a clever feint as much as a straight thrust, nev- er failed to encourage him by saying, “Hear, hear! Well said! Well put, Willie!” if the young debator bore him- ' self well in the encounter. _._,.__—.—————-— BOOTH’S LEFT HAND. : It \Vas Full of Generosity for His Fellow Actors. Another old friend of Booth, a su- perannuated actor, and a very aged man, lunched with him one day at the Players’. The weather was threaten- ing as he left, and his host sent him home in a carriage. The guest was very much affected when they parted and tried to say something, in a half tearful way,.w-hich Booth would not let him utter. After he had gone some one spoke of the gentleness and sweet- ness of the veteran’s character, and said it was to hoped that he had managed to save enough to keep his body and'soul together for‘the little time that was left to him here. “Oh, yes, he’s all right!" replied Booth. ‘ “He, has something to support hin: comfortably as long .as he lives, poor dear. And, I am glad of it.” After Booth had passed. away it was learnec’ that the something,more than enough was furnished by‘BOoth, who had in- vested $9,000 in an annuity to cheer his fellow-player’s declining years.
