Penna. State Capitol Building as it will appear when completed
CAPITOL PARK TOO SMALL
Beauties of State's Magnificent
Building hidden.
A project which is occupying the at
tention of many of the members of
the state legislature and which bids
fair to be one of the most important of
the session which began at Harrisburg
a few days after the commencement of
the new year is that of extending the
capitol park so that the state's mag
nificent new state house can be given
a setting commensurate with its archi- •
tectural beauty and so that, literally
speaking, it can be seen.
This building, which is to cost over
$4,500,000, Is planned to outdo in its
lines and details any state building in
the country. As eminently befitting
the official house of the government of
the great Keystone State it has been
plauned on majestic lines and in addi
tion to Imposing appearance, lasting
and beautiful material, it is to be strik
ing in its wealth of detail. The posi
tion it has in Harrisburg would be
commanding and unsurpassed, save
possibly by the national capitol at
Washington, were it not set in the
midst of a city.
The capitol stands upon a hill, which
rises from eight to 20 feet above the
pavements of Harrisburg's highways.
On top of a great building, covering
thousands of square feet and over a
quarter of a mile around, there is the
white granite dome which can be pic
tured from the work already finished.
From just two points can this superb
pile, which bas aroused the interest of
architects all over America and Eu
rope, be seen to be admired and even
those views are circumscribed. On one
side the capitol is set back some dis
tance from a street; on the other it
rises a sheer seven storied structure
from a narrow street, carved window
frames, gargoyle and balustrade visible
only by cranning one's neck toward
the sky.
The points of vantage from which
to view the building are the two ends
of State street, one of which is pre- ;
sented here. On the west side, toward
the wide Susquehanna, the capitol is
reached by a stately flight of steps,
flanked by fountains and beds of flow
ers, but even on this side the view is
limited. From a distance of a block
not one-half of the building can be
seen and the view is anything but sat
isfying, positively disappointing. To
enlarge the view on this side would
take many millions of dollars, for in
the section between the capitol and
the river are the leading churches of
the city and its chief residential sec
tion, the place of handsome and costly
homes.
On the east side, where it is pro
posed that the state buy to afford a
setting which is urged by architects
and which it is apparent to anybody
la needed if the building is to be seen
to advantage, conditions are altogether
different. Four streets running north
and south and as many crossing them
at right angles with several small,
narrow alleys are proposed to be
bought up and abandoned, the build
ings to be removed to make a park.
This part of Harrisburg is the reverse
of what it is on the other sid" of the
rapitol. In the area bounded by North,
W&lnut and Fourth streets anc! the
Pennsylvania railroad there are many
buildings which the enterprising state
capital city will never miss and some
with which It would gladly part. The 1
splendid building towers high above
Fourth street, rising almost from the
house line. From the other north
and south streets beyond the building
is visible in sections. State street
fives only a partial view of the white
kouse of government and how far from
satisfying it Is can be gathered from
one of the accompanying pictures.
This is the only place from which the
capitol can be seen on the east side.
The advantages of extension of the
rlew point are obvious to anyone.
When it is remembered that in beauty
of outline, decoration and material
this capitol will rank almost alone in
th» country the effect of leaving it
without a setting will appeal to those
who take a pride in the state and
would have it rank first in all things.
As to the other thoroughfares be
side State street their character can
best be judged by the accompanying
views of South alley and similar nar
row. ill-built highways which have to
be paved to keep them clean. They
contain hovels, soap factories and grim
blackened Industrial plants, the very
embodiment of unlovellness in a city
and which the progressive city could
very well spare. None of these prop
erties will cost much, their owners
will part with them, although many
are homes, to see the state capitol
properly placed. To those members of
the legislature who have in sported the
section which It is proposed be added
to the park the project has strongly
appealed and on every side arc heard
words of encouragement in this move
to care for the state's finest public
building.

On one occasion John Bright received
a letter from n very bad writer, to
which he replied:

A Watch'* Variation.
As to the sympathetic vagaries of
watches a correspondent writes: "I dis
covered some years ago that it was the
metal buckle of my braces that caused
the Irregularities of my own particular
watch. I therefore now make a rule
of putting tuy spectacle case on the In
side of my watch pocket, thus cutting
off the connection." —London Chroni

FOND OF A GOOD HORSE ENGINEER'S LAST RUN.
Ibomn* JfSrnon >Va* Particular In
Selecting Hi* Ste«Ml*.
I am compleatly satisfied with my
horse l'rom Major Eggleston. a better
one in harness I never drove, he
brought me in my single phaeton from
Washington, without ever appearing
fatigued, altho the roads were bad, &
the weather rainy, he is tine tempered
and manageable, tho' high spirited,
tlio' the price was about s<> 1) too much
from appearances, yet I would give that
advance In the purchase of a horse to
know that he was w hat I wished. Cas
tor. & Fitzpartner are both left here at
nurse, and I shall have them Bold,
consequently my stable will be reduced
to Diomede & St. Louis, a match for
Diomede, as good as he is, would make
It up what will suffice for me as a pri
vate citizen. I will thank you to be
on the enquiry, for such an one, and to
give me notice of price &, properties,
but it will be essential that he match
Diomede tolerably, and be well broke to
the carriage & no batAfer. I trouble
you with these commissions because
you are in the only part of the country
where a fine horse can be got. I leave
this for Washington the day after to
morrow. present me with all pos
sible affection to the family, and be as
sured of my constant attachment & re
ipect. Til. JEFFERSON.

CLIMBING PLANTS.
The Fi*e Different ClANflen, Willi
Their IVrul !■ rll leu.
Climbing plants may be divided into
five classes hook climbers, root climb
-1 ers, twiners, leaf climbers and tendril
1 bearers.
Hook climbers are equipped with
hooks, which are caught up in the stir
rounding vegetation.
Root climbers, like ivy, throw out
fibers along their steins and ascend
slowly, insinuating themselves by
means of rootlets, which grow away
from the light and become glued to the
stems of trees or to harder surfaces.
Twiners, like the scarlet runner, hop,
! convolvulus and bryony, twine them
selves around the upright stems of
their neighbors. Some, like the convol
vulus. bend toward the left; others, like
the h >p. twine to the right.
The climbing habit, however. Is most
perfectly exhibited by plants with sen
sitive ptajheui- ile organs, either leaves
or tendrils.
In the tendril bearers we find here
anil there along the stem sensitive,
twining, whiplike structures, which
curve to what they touch and eventu
ally link themselves round It. Of thla
sort are the passion flower, sweet pea,
grapevine and Virginia creeper.—Pear-

i"I was running on tin- ;-a-s.-tiger

! The last stop that we made before
this experience of w! i< h 1 speak the
lireman had to wake me up wl en the
signal togo ahead was received. 1
had gone to sleep in mj cab.
"As we approached the next station
the conductor may have signaled me,
as he claimed he did, but we dashed
' through the town at about forty miles
J an hour before I heard the down break
I signal. The minute 1 heard it I saw
i the headlight of the northbound train
j less than 300 yards away, coming

I brakes and reversed, but It all looked
j too late. The fireman jumped, but 1
was paralyzed. The two great engines,

I frozen there, and while those trains
1 rushed together 1 saw every incident

"They took me to the hospital, and
nine days later I woke up after a spell

A GRAND OLD SAVAHF
I'en Picture of I'aul liruKi'r ■>« Pres
ident of the Boern.
I'oultney Bigelow, writing before tho
Boer war, gave a very interesting im
pression of ex-l'resitlent Ivruger. "Tite
president of the South African Repub
lic," lie wrote, "is indeed a grand old
savage from one point of view and a
noble statesman from another. lie is
theoretically the first citizen of the
most democratic community, yet in
practice he surrounds himself with a
tawdry splendor that would shock
many a crowned head of Europe.
When 1 first had the honor of meeting
this anachronistic phenomenon he was
drinking coffee and throwing out a
cloud of strong tobacco smoke, but a
still stronger volume of violent lan
guage, emphasized by the thumping of
his massive fist upon the table. The
room in which he received was crowd
ed with long haired, full bearded nnd
stolid featured fellow burghers, who
reminded me partly of Russian priests,
partly of Californinn miners and partly
of certain alleged portraits of the apos
tles. I feared that I had unwittingly
Interrupted a cabinet meeting, but lat
er it turned out that this was Mr. Kru
ger's usual 'at home.' When the presi
dent is not at his office he delights in
nothing so much as entertaining his
countrymen with coffee, tobacco and
political proverbs. lie harangues his
visitors with the voice of a bull in dis
tress, and they like it. lie governs bj
personal contact and spoken parables
and it is his boast that he knows per
eonally every citizen of his republic."

The Itival .N'lfthtlnaalen.
A writer on bird*, Edmund Selons,
describes a song contest between two
male nightingales. "'Jealousy," he s;iys,
"did not seem to blind them on tUe
merit of each other's performance.
Though often one, upon hearing the
sweet, hostile strains, would burst
forth instantly itself—and here there
was no certain mark of appreciation
yet sometimes, perhaps quite as often,
it would put its head on one side and
listen with exactly the appearance of
a musical connoisseur, weighing, test
ing and appraising each note as it
Issued from the rival bill. A curious,
half suppressed expression would steal
or seem to steal —for fancy may play
her part lu such matters—over the
listening bird, and the Idea appeared
to be, 'How exquisite would be those
strains were they not sung by ,
and yet I must admit that they are ex
quisite.' "

DID HIS BEST.
He Hroiißhl the Only Cant Hook
That He Could Find.
If the report of the Fulton Gazette is
true a Missouri farmer, accompanied
by several of his hired men, went into
the woods one morning In the fall of
the year to cut down some trees. When
about to begin work It was discovered
that the cant hook had l>een left be
hind. Turning to one of the men, an
Irishman not very long over, the farm
er ii< trin ted him to drive back to the
barn for the missing tool. The Irish
man did not know what a cant hook
looked like, but was averse to exposing
his ignorance, so drove off on his er
rand. trusting to find some one at the
farm who would enlighten him.
At the barn, however, there was no
one to help him out of his dilemma.
Casting his eyes about the place for
the thing that would be most likely
to bear the name of "cant hook," he
saw a mulley cow with never a sign of
a horn upon its head and concluded
it was what he had been sent for.
Procuring a rope he fastened the cow
to the rear end of his vehicle and ex
ultingly drove back to the woods.
"What the Sam 11111 have you got
there?" shouted the farmer on seeing
his messenger and the cow. "I sent
you for the cant hook to use in moving
the logs. What have you brought that
cow for?"
"Be jabers, boss, divil another thing
could 1 see around the barn that can't
hook but this."
THE ROUND ROBIN.
It* Origin. It I* Said, fan Be Traced
Itnrk to Ancient Grffce.
According to British naval docu
ments of the years 183 Sand IGo9, it
was the custom of seauieu of that day
to use the round robin as a safe and
effective menus of bringing their griev
ances before the authorities. A similar
practice existed in France, but the al
leged origin of the term "round robin"
from roud ruban, a circular band used
In the French petitions, is probably
fallacious.
The term existed in England long be
fore, with wholly different meaning.
Thus iu Devonshire a "round robin"
was a smsll round pancake, and the
sacramental wafer was called a "round
robin" by I<atimer, 1536.
Dr. Tiinbs says that the idea of the
round robin has been traced back to a
Greek conspiracy against the tyranny
of the Pislstratidae. The Romans had
a similar custom of writing the names
of their guests or friends In a circle
when anxious not to indicate any indi
vidual preferences.—London Standard.
