"Ho said there was some stupid blunder," one of the girls remarked Iter in the evening, speaking of the ncident, "and he added he was aw- ully sorry, although he" did not seem o worry at all. He took his coat and things and escaped to where he be- onged. Some stapid blunder ! Do you know, I can hardly believe that." ind the clever Miss Aspinwali-J ones, who overhears this, smiles, for she prides herself on her tact. Outing. America's Capital. The completion of a portion of Pro fessor' Olmstead's work on the plat ting of the Washington of the future makes plain some of the lines on which the expansion of the city will move. . There are only two directions in which Washington can expand. The Potomac River and the Anacosta ttliver bound it on the east and south, tits northern botindary was originally loh old wagon road from Georgetown to Bladenburg, and its western limit was Rock Creek, but it has passed both of thse limitations and has gone two miles beyond the old Maryland wagon road, whiclrhas now, with all its angles and curves, become Florida 'iirAfinA. YTPnr-.TAf.nwn has bfiftn swal- ton on the heights beyond the old town are being included. Under the present surveys and plans Sixteenth street Northwest will be come, for the President's hrase and its surroundings, what North, South, and East Capitol streets are for the Capitol, and what 'Four and a Half street is for the City Hall a spacious avenue terminating in a magnificent building. It will, under the new plan, early become one of the principal streets of the new Washington, ex tending six miles from the President's house to Maryland. Under the new plan the intersection of) Sixteenth street and New Jersey uvenue will be the meeting place of two spacious avenues, one south to the White House and the oth2r southwest to the Capi tol. Most of the streets will run north on their present lines. Rock Creek Park will be connected by a boulevard 220 feet wide with the Soldiers Home, aad on the south of" the Zoological Park a romantic avenue will be laid out to connect some wide streets passing through the city with the Mall and River Park, which will be es tablished in the future on the western portion of the Potomac made lands above the long bridge. As a result af seven-mile driving belt road of high land and lowland streets' and woods,, country, park and river side will be come one of the famous drives of tho world. St. Lous Globe-Democrat. 1 WORDS OF WISDOM. Tulgarity means mediocrity. Debt depresses the sensitive. The law"s delays pile up fee3. Delay is sometimes judicious. A quill pen is as good as gold. .- We unconsciously judge all men by ourselves. - No one deserves high praise for do ing his duty. Reading and travel are both fine mental feeding. A man who does his best does not deserve censure. Women admire handsome men, and love homely ones. Genius begins great works, labor alone finishes them. A man habitually malicious must be habitually miserable. A man's company is material in making his reputation. Advice to the young man who wants to get good pay earn it. Some people are too intellectual, "as some people are too nice. How far better to win by kindness than to conquer by violence. Let your performance always sur pass and excel your promises. 1 A wise man discovers by patient study what a fool stumbles upon. While a man is thinking how a thing ought to be done a woman will do it. The Great West. Whipping Criminals. Whipping is still used to punish criminals in Montreal. Canada. The other day one Alphonse Laurendeau received twenty-live lashes, the maxi mum ienalty. After the fourteenth stroke he began to moan, and; after it was all over he shook himself like a dog who had just had a swim and walked out to the hospital, jhis back covered with a cloth steeped in brine, apparently none the worse for his ex perience. Laurendeau will remain in jail for another twenty-two months and two weeks before the expiration of his sentence will receive another twenty five lasses. Detro.it Free J?re.s. Notified by a Bellringer. "A theatrical man has varied exper iences and some funny incidents are continually coming before him," said a showman to a reporter for the Wash ington Post. "Tne one-night stands tire prolific of episodes and profanity, especially the latter, but they afford a good bit of amusement after the an noyance is over. They are not quite so awful now a3 they used to be. A few years ago a company I was pilot ing through the West came upon a rather unpromising town, but . fats willed that, we should give one ap pearance. The hall wo hired was a crude affair, and so were the accessor ies. There wa3 no box office, no re served seats, and I had to stand at tha door and collect the admission money. At 7.30 not a soul had appeared. At 7.45 a great, big chap came stalking in and asked me if I wanted a ringer. 'What's a ringer?" I asked. 'A man to ring the bell. You'll never get folks up here to see this show till you hire somebody to go downtown and pull the town hall bell.- They are used to it and won't come without.' J took the ringer at his word, gave him half a doijarj- and he departed smiling. Soon the deep clanging of a bell smote upon the air, and in less than no time the totvnpeople came pouring iD, enough 'of them to m-vie- a fair audi ence. In spit9 of tha fact that o.ir attraction had been sat forth on ths bill-boards and in the local papers, if that bell hadn't been pulled we would . have played to vacant benches." .Effect of Bisliets on tiie Skeleton. In the museum at Washington, mav be seen, for the edification of sur geons, the effects of projectiles on the human scaffold. One sad looking skull grins at you, with the hole a ball has made clean through the mid dle of the forehead. Fractures of the arm and leg bones are common, and the tracks of the mime balls plainly shown. In archaeological research we can find exactly the same things, show-' ing how man repeats his actions. The examples are numerous. A human tibia of tlie time of the cave dwellers shows the aciual fiintheaded arrow which has pierced the bone?. In Bel gium there was found a" human .parie tal bone, with the flint axe still buried in the skull. In Scotland, a skeleton of remarkable size wa3 exhumed, with one arm separated from the body, and in the bone was found the fragment of an ai9 of diorite, of the! neolithic period. We kill mnch more efficiently to-day, but only because the human tarrret has remained the same as in the prehistoric .period. The atck haa mastered the resistance. New Yori Times. RELIGIOUS READING. GBOWTH CJTDEK PRESSURE. . Sub pondere cresco' (I jrrow under a weight) was motto on. the crest of John SpreulL of Glasgow, who for his defense of religious liberty in the times of Claverhouse was im prisoned on the Bass Rock, in tho Firth of Forth. .This Is the great motto of the world Nature is like a huge watch, whose move ments are caused by the compression of the mainspring. Only by restraint is iife possible.5 The forms of all living things, from the smallest moss to man himself, are determined by the extent and degree to which the force of iife overcomes the dead forces of nature. The simple principle of growth under limita tion will account for the shape of every leaf, and tho formulation of every organ of the human body; for the . germination of a seed, and for the beating of tho heart within the human breast. ... Have, you evjbr. watched a bubble of, air rising; up from the bottom of a clear pond to the top? It so, you cannot fail to have noticed that it ascends not in a straight line, but inr corkscrew or spirit form. The force which draws it upward to rejoin thenative air from which it has been separated would do so, if left to itself, by the shortest course ; bat it en counters continually the resistance of the denser element of the water, and this press ure delays its ascent through it and makes it take a larger zigzag path. If you understand the reason of this simple phenomenon, you will understand the way in which every herb and tree grows in the air, and why their shapes are what we see them to be. They all grow in the most varied and compicated spiral forms because tuey grower under re sistance. Tirs is the simple method of cat turo's working, the law which determines all her forms. The same law obtains throughout the spir itual world. Thoie, too", growth is under re sistance. The law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus contends against the law of sin and death. The Jaws in the members war against the law cf the mind. The most es sential character of spiritual life is that it de- pends upon the resistance of one form of moral force by another ; its tension is holi ness, righteousness, self-control. We grow in grace as the trees grow in space, under limitations ; and the various forms and de grees of spiritual life which men exhibit are due to the extent of these limitations. Spirit ual life does not .assume stereotyped pat tern. The Pharisees of religion have always ' endeavored to cast it into one mold, to prune all the trees of the Lord into poliards. In this, happily, they h:ve not -succeeded. The individuality of men and the circumstances of life have been too strong for them, and human beings have developed spiritually as they have developed' naturally. ac6ordin"g to the'sum of forces that have been brought to bear upon th-in. . , . And thu?, by this sim ple law in the spiritual world as in the nat ural, the law of j growth under pressure. God has produced that wonderful variety of Christ ian character and experience which strikes us as much in the kingdom of heaven as in the field of nature, and which is one of the most powerful factors of human progress. . . Sorrow is the eo!mnonest of all pressures that cast down the soul. This experience belon.as to no class or condition of life exclusively. It is shared at some time or other by all human beings by virtue of their humanity. God has ordered that sorrow should be the most powerful factor in the education of our race. 'Ought not Christ to have sunered these things and to enter info his glory?" That was the law of Christ s life, and it is the law of ours. That Christ, though holy.harmf les3 undefl ed aad separate from sinnersj, should, nevertheless, be the 31 an of Sorrows, makes.sorrow sacred, and associates it with the dicinline of a heavenly Father and with the training of a blessed and glorious life. Hugh Macmil Ian. I). D. JSAitlA' CONVERSION. There are some, who remember not the time, when they did not sincerely love and habitually servo God. Having, like Jere miah, been sanctified from the very dawn ol life, having had the incorruptible seed of the word sojvn in their minds by a parental hand, and applied to their hearts by a divine influ- ence, in eany cnuunooa ; navicg oeen turnea or converted unto the Lord A3 soon as they were capable of moral action, they have grown tip under the influence of religious principle ; avoid ilg that which is evil and doing that which is good; hating sin and loving holiness ; living in the daily exer cise of spiritual prayer and habitual sul mission to the will and authority of God. They are truly the children of God; born of the Spirit: converted and raised from then- natural state of spiritual death, to a state ol spiritual life and new obedience. It is true, that such may still need forgiveness, and will often exercise repentance for their frequent backslidings and continual1 shortcomings in duty ; for there is no man who iiveth and sin eth hot. It is true, likewise, that thVy must depend, and will feel their dependence on di vine graco, through faith in Christ,for it is by grace alone that they, as well as others, can be saved. It is Dy grace that they are what they are; and the same grace i3 continually necessarv to carry on the work that is begun in them! They must, therefore, as well as others, repair daily io the throne of grace, to obtain rivercy and find grace to help in time of need.' - '" ' One's happiness depends greatly upon the feelings that govern his heart. If sunshine is there, it will radiate out and make everything in the external world beautiful, or at least it will give to the surrounding objects a bright side that may be contemplated with pleasure and a feeling of satisfaction which cannot be felt under any ether circumstances. No Use for HI Feet, The first mot of the new Czar warn de livered upon the occasion of M. da Giers's official visit to the Emperor, who received him with the greatest demon stration of friendship, at the same time expressing the hope that, notwithstand ing M. de Giers's reported wish to re tire from office, he would still continue to work "with him for many years. "But, your majesty, it Is scarcely possible; look at my feet, they will hardly carry me." The Cxar replied: "I am rery sor ry for yon; jbut, as far as I am concern ed, I do not; want your feet; I want your head." j Stats or Ohio,Citt or Toledo, LccAsCotJjrrr. - jr".. Frank J.
