IngeisoH's Eulogy of Whisky.
"I send you dome of the most wonder
ful whisky that ever drove the skeleton
from tho feast, or painted landscaK'S In
the brain of man. Il I the mingled
souls of wheat and corn. In It you will
find the sunshlnn and shadow that
chased each other over billowy fields,
tho breath of June, the carol of the
lark, the dew of the night, the wealth
of summer and autumn's rich content,
all golden with Imprisoned light.
Drink It. and you will hear the volew of
men and maidens singing the 'Harvest
Homo,' mingled with the Imightcr of
children. Drink It, and you will feel
within your blood the starred dawns,
the dreamy, tawny dusks of perfect
days. For forty years this liquid joy
has been within staves of oak, longing
to touch tho Hps of man."
DR. J. M. Hl't'K I.RV'S RF.Pt.Y. -"I
send you some of the most wonder
ful whisky that ever brought a skeleton
Into the closet, or painted scenes of lust
and bloodshed In tho brain of man. It
Is the ghost of wheat and corn, crazed
by the hiss of their natural bodies. In
It you will find a transient sunshine,
chased by a shadow cold as Arctic mid
night, In which the breath of .lime
grows Icy, and the carol of the lark
gives place to the fnrhodlng cry of the
raven. Drink it. and you shall have
'woe,' 'sorrow,' 'bubbling.' and 'wounds
without cause;' 'your eyes shall behold
strange women' and your heart diall
'utter perverse things.' Drink It deep
and yon shall hear tho voice of demons
shrieking, women wailing and worse
than orphaned children mourning the
loss of a father who yet lives. Drink it
deep and long, and serpents will hiss In
your ears, coll themselves about your
neck and seize you with their fangs: for
at last It bltcth like asersnt andsting
cth llko an adder.' For forty years this
liquid death has been within staves of
oak, harmless there as purest water.
I send It to you that, you may put an
enemy in your mouth to steal away
your brains.' And yet I call myself
your friend." Exchange.

New Kinzua Bridge.
The stoel work for the new Kinzua
bridge to replace the present structure
Is about finished, and In April or May
at the latest, the old bridge will be torn
down and the new bridge substituted.
The present structure, which has be
came famous, and which has been visit
by ninny thousands of people. Is too
light to accommodate the heavy rolling
stock that modern railroads use at pres
ent and which they will use in the
future, and It has been found necessary
to substitute for It a heavier structure.
The new bridge will bo exactly the
same In construction and apiearance
but the steel work will be much heavier
and the bridge accordingly will bo much
stronger and able to handle the heaviest
trains that may bo drawn over It.
While the work Is being carried on the
Erie railroad will use the tracks of the
R, R. A P. railroad from Howard Junc
tion to Mt. .Tewett. Itlsexpected that it
will take three or four months to com
plete the work. The old stone work
will be used as It Is said to be sufficient
for the needs of the heaviest bridge.

keeping old people young. For years

Africans and the Unattln,
The children of the desert were filled
with awe when first the slleuce of the
primeval solitude was broken by the
puffing of the steam engine. Dnwn nt
the other eud of the Cape to Cairo line
the simple Matabele, when first cou
fronted by a locomotive, were certain
that the strange machine was worked
by the labor of an Indefinite number of
oxen, which they assumed were shut
up Inside; hence, when the engine atop
ped, they gathered In curious crowds,
waiting to see the door open and the
oxen come out, nor could they for many
days be persuaded that the power of
the locomotive could come from other
than the strength of the ox.

Time to G1t tip.
An Iowa Judge recently related an
amusing Incident that bad occurred In
his court when a colored man was
brought up for some petty offense. The
charge was read, and aa the statement
"Tho state of Iowa against John
Jones" was read In a loud voice the
colored man's eyes bulged nearly out
of their sockets and he seemed over
come with terror anil astonishment.
When ho was asked if he had anything
to say or plended guilty or not guilty,
he gasped out:
"Well, yo' honnh, ef de whole state
' Iowa is ng'ln dls ono pore nlggah I'ze
gwlno to give up right now!"

then shaking him until his hair begun
to fall out.

THE ARCTIC MOSQUITO.
It la Ahnnt the Mast Terrlhlc Insert
Pest In the World.
"Nothing thnt has ever been written
about the nretle mosquito begins to
come up to the real thing." said a guest
In the St. Charles corridor the other
evening. "I went up the Yukon river
In the summer of l.SOrt, representing
the Alaska and Dominion Trading
company, nnd we struck mosquitoes as
soon as we got Into the hills. They are
twice as In i pe as our familiar bayou
species, and their sting Is like the prod
of a hot needle. They sweep along the
valleys In dense clouds, and If they
catch a man unprepared they are liable
to Mind him before he can escte. ' I
heard stories of children being stung to
death and ran readily believe them.
"Whenever we went ashore we wore
heavy hat nets and took the utmost
precaution, but were certain to suffer
more or less. One of our party cut the
tongues out of his shoes, and ft narrow
line of sock was exposed under the lac
ing. Next day he was bitten there at
least a hundred times, and his feet
were so terribly Inflamed that the shoes
had to be rut off.
"Another mnn, a fireman In the boat
crew, got drunk on Alaska whisky one
afternoon and lay down to take nnp
In a rorner of the engine room. I no
ticed him ft little Inter and was horri
fied at the solid brown mass of mos
quitoes that had settled on a small ex
posed section of his cheek and throat.
In an hour his face was swollen out of
all resemblance to anything human, ho
was nimble to swallow and was burn
ing with fever. It was a week before
be was able to be about. I saw a num
ber of cattle near Fort Hamilton that
had been made stone blind by stings
near the eye.

HUMBLED THE SENATOR.
He Tried to Assert HI Independence,
bat Felled Mlserahlf.
The writer remembers a good mnny
years ago when the late Ezeklel Clarke
was a memlier of the stnte senate from
Johnson county. It Is well known Hint
the sen i tor or member from Johnson
county Is always expected to get a
large appropriation for the state uni
versity. To fall would be political
death. Senator Clarke was anxious
to succeed aud during the early part
of the session voted for everything.
If another senator had a bill, all he
bad to do was to go and whisper In
Ezeklrl's ear, and be would vote "aye."
One day, however, Ezeklel came Into
the senate with balr cut and a clean
ahave. He sat upright In his seat and
began to slaughter right and left.
State Senator George F. Wright look
ed across to where the senator from
Johnson was sitting and Inquired what
change had eome over the senator
from Johnson county. The other sen
ator replied that the appropriation bill
for the state university had now pass
ed both houses, and the senator from
Johnson was going to make up for
lost time.
Clarke kept on punching heads until
the senator from Jefferson, Moses A.
McCold. rose and solemnly Introduced
bill for an act entitled "An act
repealing the npproprlntlnn for the
state university." A broad smile pass
ed around the room, nnd everybody
except the senator from Johnson saw
the Joko. But the spirit of levity pars
ed nwny from Kenntnr Clarke. He nt
once assumed hlx humble attitude, nnd
tho other boys voted him ns usual dur
ing the remainder of the session. lies

The Architect.
One must wonder why It really Is
that so little Is said or thought about
architecture, the grandest, the mother,
of all arts, a great, a most useful, sci
ence, one lu which a greater revolution
has lately token place and In which
more progress has been made, with
moro stupendous results, thau In any
other, remarks a writer In The Inter
national. Magnzlne.
Was It not Richelieu who, paraphras
ing nn ancient writer, said: "If It Is
versatility you seek, go And an archi
tect lie must be an artist, or his
buildings will offend the eye; an engi
neer, of tuey will crumble Into trouble;
a lawyer, or ho will get his pntrons In
to trouble; a doctor, or his buildings
will be hyglenlcnlly unfit to live In,
and, last, but not least, he must be a
gcntlcmnn, or we will have nothing to
do with him."

tle steamer for Europe because he
wanted to save as much as possible on
his transportation, nnd but the rest of
the story sounds better In his own
words:
"About 4:.".o In tho morning I was
awnkcued and lold to go to work. I
hastily dressed, for the first and Inst
time on Imnrd. for during tho rest of
the voyage I took enre not to undress.
It seemed scarcely worth while. I ar
rived on deck and found the steward
wnltlng for me. He showed me Into
the pantiy, introduced me to 'Fonts,'
as the pantryman was called, and told
me thnt my chief duty during the voy
age would be to wash dishes.
"There, was nlready ft large pile of
dirty dishes waiting to be washed, and
I rolled up my sleeves, fixed the hot
water nnd began to work. 1 had these
almost done when another and larger
lot was brought In from the dining
room. This proved to be the dally pro
gramme. I no sooner had one pile
washed than others were brought In,
and I was never done. I don't think
I ever snw so mnny dishes before In
my life, and I hops I never shall again.
There were 1W passengers aboard be

were served ench day. From tha
dishes thnt cauic out to bo washed, I

Destroying the Point. I
Every one knows the man who Id
notorious for so telling a story as to
destroy Its point. An English noble
man. Lord P., was noted for his suc
cess In thus ruining the prosperity of
a story. The author of "Collections
and Recollections" exhibits a specimen
of his lordship's peculiar art.
Thirty years ngo two large houses
were built nt Albert Gate, London, the
size and cost of which seemed likely to
prohibit tenants from hiring them. A
i wag chrlsi'-ii'd them "Malta and Olb
1 rnllar benusc U;ey can never bo
1 taken."
! Lord P. thought this nn excellent
' joke ami run round tho town, saying to
: every friend he met:
"I say, do you know what they call
I those houses at Albert Gate? They
j call them .Malta and Gibraltar because
I they can never let them. Isn't It aw
fully good?"
Home one told Lord P. the old rid
dle, "Why was the elephant tho Inst
animal to get Into the ark?" to which
tho answer Is, "Iteennse he hnd to puck
his trunk."
Lord P. asked the riddle of the next
friend he met and gave aa the answer,
"Because he had to pack his portmnn
teau." The Center of Population.
"Census experts estimate," says the
Chicago I'ost, "that the center of popu
