THE NEW UNION STATION AT WASHINGTON.
All the passenger trains of the Pennsylvania Railroad
will enter and depart from the new Union Station at Wash
ington on November 17, 1907, and on the same date the
present station at Sixth and B Streets will be closed to
traffic.
The date is singularly fitting. In 1807 both wings of
the Capitol were completed, and now a century later a
building even larger is opened for a great public utility,
which did not exist at that time.
The railroad terminal facilities at Washington have
been inadequate for years, particularly at inauguration per
iods and on the assemblage of other large gatherings at the
Capital. Their improvement was imperative and so it has
come about that, by the combined efforts of the railroads
and the United States Government, one of the largest and
unquestionably the handsomest railroad station in the
world is now provided not only tor the convenience of the
citizens of the United States, but as a notable architectural
addition to the great public buildings of the Capital City.
It is a monumental edifice and a worthy type of the future
structures, which "will make Washington the municipal
beauty spot of the world.
The station including the Concourse is longer than the
, Capitol and nearly as wide. The waiting room is larger
than the hall of the House of Representatives. The con
course, which is the train lobby, is longer than the interior
of the Capitol building, if it were one continuous hall,
and half as wide. It is the largest building ever con
structed for a like purpose.
Within this great structure there is every convenience
the traveler can desire, so grouped about the central hall
as to serve his purpose to the best advantage.
The lofty arched entrances face a plaza as large as an
ordinary city park, which will be laid out as a plaza and
adorned with shrubbery and fountains.
The trackage is sufficient lor all demands upon it and
the entrance to and exit from the trains are separated, the
confusion and jostling of hurrying crowds moving in oppo
site directions will be obviated.
The bigness of the station is impressive ; its utilities
obvious.

( lirrrfnl Alvl-.
A number of railway men were once
discussing the quest lou of accidents.
"The mails In Scotland," said oue of
fleinl, "used to have a bail name, In
deed, iu respect to accidents. No one
thought of embarking on n railway
journey unless lie had provided him
self with an accident policy of Insur
ance. "The famous Dr. Norman Macieod
was ihio about to set off on n long
Journey through the Scotch country.
Just as the train was pulling out the
clergyman's servant put his head In
through the window and said:
" 'Ila'e ye ta'en an Insurance ticket,
sir?'
"'I have,' replied (he doctor.
"'Then,' continued the servant, 'write
ye'er name on it and gi'e It to nie.
They ha'e au nwfu habit o' robblu' the
corpses on this line.' " New York
Times.
Think Llnhtlr of It.
The road to home happiness Is said
to lie over small stepping stones. So
small sometimes are the causes of our
uuuuppincss that we wonder the conse
quences can be so great. Oue great pal
liative Is the determination by every
member of the family not to dwell
on the circumstances, whatever they
may be, which are alike sad to all. If
It be poverty let It be cheerfully and
silently borne; if It be the 111 temper of
grandpa try to make a Joke of It. If it
be something Infinitely worse and also
hopeless accept It bravely; do not talk
of It. Try lo the family circle to Ignore
It. Accept every little enlivening cir
cumstance. Let In nil the suu nnd air.

SqneesInK the Grapra.
"Iu wine makiug," Said a wine ex
pert, "the grapes are squeezed from
oue to six times, and from each squeeze
a different grade of wine is made.'
That is why from one district aud
from one llriu so many varieties of
wine come. These varieties don't meau
that each is made from a different
kind of grape. They mean, as a rule,
that they are made from different
squeezes of the same grape. The first
fqueer.e of course makes the best and
dearest wine. When you buy this
grade you will always find on the label
the words 'Premier Cm,' first squeeze."
Trick of the Type.
A laughable error occurred in one of
the large publishing houses a number
of years ago. A poet had sent in n
manuscript in which was the line, "See
the pnlo martyr In a sheet of fire." Tho
reputation of the writer was nearly
ruined when the work came out with
the line, "See the pnlo martyr with his
shirt on fire."
When a favorite speaker rose and
was greeted with thunderous applause
his party paper came out and said,
"The vast concourse rent the air with
their Bnouts."

French Economy.
France In her system of finance and
in her whole scheme of economy Aide
and encourages saving among the peo
ple. The government conducts a vasl
banking Institution whereby every
Iostofllce bus its savings bunk depart
mentIts "calsse d'epargne." Uer
any oue may make a deposit as low a(
1 frunc (20 ivntst, which deposit Is re
corded In one's "llvret de la calss
d'epargne" (savings bauk book). A
convenient feature of this system tend
ing to make saving easy Is that one
may make his deposits lu any post
ottlce nuywhere In France aud may
withdraw any part or nil his savings
at any postoflice, without regard to
Where the deposits have been made.

Shopping Is n form of cruelty In
dulged by married ladles toward their
husbands. It is Incipient in young
girls, reaches un active condition In
brides and arrives at Its most virulent
stage between the tenth and the twenty-fifth
year of married life. A small,
delicate, slight, nervous, sensitive wo
man who would faint away at on
empty mouse trap will go through the
shopping district lu from two to seven
hours and come out refreshed nnd sus
tained by an unfaltering trust If her
husband's credit Is good, while that
gentleman ut the end of forty-five min
utes has to be carried home on a
stretcher. Some women ore born shop

them has It thrust upon her. Chopping

' Shooting a Rabbit.
In Sullivan county there Is a man
who spent u whole day hunting, nnd at
nightfall he was returning homeward
empty handed when be found a rab
bit lu a snare aud still kicking, lie
released It and was about to dispatcb
It with tho back of his hand when It
occurred to him that be could not say
he shot It as no shot marks would be
found to corroborate his story. So be
tied a string to one of the hind legs of
tho rabbit, tied the other end to the
fence, backed away twenty yards and
tired. The shot cut the string and
bunny ran away. Such a good Joke
on himself was too good to keep, aud
he told It at the village grocery, little

" THEATRICAL TEMPESTS.
The Wmr nnlnntnrm In Produced
on the Stnne.
Trobably not more than one person
In a hundred stops to consider how a
raiustorm Is produced on the stage.
Few perhaps have ever given the sub
ject uny serious thought.
During the coming up of the storm
there is seen vast clouds of dust, the
wind blows ii gale, and suddenly the
ralu conies down In torrents. It Is un
effect so natural that one almost Im
agines the elements are genuinely on
the warpath. Yet, though the rain Is
real water, not a person Is actually
drenched, because the water comes
dowu at the very front of the stage,
while the players are well back and
not at all exposed to Its moisture.
. It might be thought that to produce a
Bloriu many Intricate bits of machinery
would be necessary, yet such is not the
case, for the simplest devices produce
the effect desired. These are some gas
pipes punctured by myriads of holes,
through which the water runs from
small barrels, each about half full, at
either end. The sound of the wind Is
made by u revolving barrel which
touches a heavy piece of canvas In Its
rounds. The thunder effect Is caused
by the artistic manner in which i man
beats ti bass drum, and the gusts of
dust are blown across the stage by an
electric fan. The Hashes of lightning
come from an electric buttery connect
ed by wires which when placed In con
tact throw out the dtix.liug Hashes. A

POETICAL DEATHS.
WeteomliiK the tirlm Itcnprr With n

There have been numerous Instances
of poetical deaths. The Emperor Adri
an made a poetical address to his owu
soul as death was casting the seal of
final silence over his lips, and Marga
ret of Austria while almost within the
grasp of den Hi in a terrific storm at
sea calmly sat down and composed her
epitaph iu verse. The ship weathered
the gale, however, and the epitaph was
not needed.
Philip Stro.zl when imprisoned ami
awaiting death on the gallows resolved
to commit suicide. Before he killed
himself he curved with the sword upon
which u few minutes later he Impahwl
himself the following verse from Vir
gil on the wall: "Rise some avenger
from my blood."
The Marquis of Montrose when he
was condemned to have his limbs nail
ed to the gates of four cities said that
be was sorry that he did not have
enough limbs' to nail to nil the cities

The nia.uufrtcturer8 have at last found a practical substitute for
the real furs ueutioned above. (J.iats to retail for a fraction of the
cost of the real fur; stylish serviceable coats that combine the great
est degree of comfort, with the perfection of refioed taste in drew.
For years the manufacturers have striven to produce a low

style plu9h, pretty in its day, but impracticable and far from eatis

Seal but little superior to the plu-h, a con inual source of worry be
cause of its poor wearing qualities. With the advent of the "Rus

practical winter jacket at moderate cost was at once solved.
We'll sell you any ono of the above with the most liberal guar
