All fear of an ctnbnrraiment of tho Johns Hopkins university, at Ilaltimore, Is sot a rest by tho publication of its fourteenth an nunl report, which shows that an nmpls ouiorgency fund, amounting to over $108,700, hns been subscribed by ths friends of tho In stitution.

A wonderful fact to reflect upon, that ovory human creaturo is constituted to be a profound secrot and mystsiy to evorybody. A solemn consideration, wins 1 enter a great city by night, that ovcry one of thoso darkly clustering lions Incloses Its own secret; that ovory room In overy ono of tfeem Incloses Its own secrot; that every boaUoc heart In the hundreds of thousands of breasts thsro is, In soino of Its Imaginings, a secret to tho heart nearest Itl Dickons. On Nov. 3, Columbia presented Undo Sam for tho first time in tho history of that tils tluguMied Individual with twins. North and South Dakota formnlly entered the Union at tho samo moment. Tho family rec ord is broken, nnd nothing but trlplots can now surprise tho dear old follow with tho tall hat and tho strapped nnd strljied trousers and star spangled vest, Tho poachor who makes hares his specialty has a constant companion lu thoshupoof a lurcher n dog which nt night embodies all his senses, Lurchers aro puro crosses bo tween tho greyhound and sheop dog.

Thoy tako long to train, but whou erfcctcd aro Invalu able, Klectrle Slntors Umlcrgrniiiul. It Is iiuopou secrot that several professional Inventors nro trying to perfect n new street car motor to combino tho advantages of cnbla and overhead electricity, and to do away with the objections of both systems. Tho idea Is to construct a conduit some what similar to that used for cables, but large enough to allow a small electric motor to run on very nnrrow gaugo tracks laid under ground. Each motor will bo connected with a train of cars by moans of a rigid coupling, which will run in a slot just as the grip of a cahlo car does. To mako tho Invention a suc cess, the engineer must bo able to rido on the biirfaco car, und yet have perfect control over tho motor running underground. Tho dlfllcultlcd nro by no moans appalling lu tho light of recent triumphs over apparent Impossibilities, but tho motor will have to be very smnll, or tho conduit would bo too large, to bo practicable.. This U a revival of tho scheme of tho first patentee of tho conduit street motor system. His Idea was to run a steam locomotive in a tunnel and havo a rigid connection with tho cars above, Tbo impossibility of construct ing tunnels under tho streets largo onough to admit locomotives killed tbo scheme before It was well announced, but It is believed that electricity will removo all tho difllculttes. St, Louis Qlobo-Democrut. New High Speed Atluntlo Liner. Tho leading ship builders In tho country havo just submit to 1 to tho Canadian Pacific company offers for tho construction of threo first cliws passengor steamers, for tho Atlan tic service In connection with tho now route to tho east. It will bo remembered that a weak or two ago tho Naval Construction mid Armament coinany, whose works nre at Barrow, woro commiuionod to build throe twin screw steamers of 7,000 tons, being 410 feet long, to attain a speed of eighteen knots an hour, for service between Vancouver nud Yokohama, tho other sea pa-ssngo of ths route, tho Canadian Pnciflo railroad carry ing tho putsMJiigurs from tho Atlantic oca board in Canada to tho Pacific, The now Atlantla steamers will lx faster than tho Puclllo vessels, having a maxiu..im speed of twenty knots, with tho engines indi cating about 10,000 bono power, and tlu boilers, of which there will bo te, working at a pressuro of 105 pounds to the square Inch. The Intention Is that tho voyago from the south or Knglxnd to Halifax in tho win ter, and Quoboo'u the summer, should be accomplished lu at most flvo and one-half days. Pnlike tl Pacific steamers, they will b- proivrilod by n single screw, but It is quite rosal'tfe that before tho contract is ultlinfly OxaJ Ufc taAx be altnred Bariilur A CONVENIENT FARM HOUSE.

Tho farm lionvj plan which Is hero given shows a rear ontninco wi arranged Mint ono mny como lu from Mint direction nnd pnvs up stairs without going through Mher rooms. This NoniMllstlnctlvo requirement of n fnrm linusn, Tho front entrance Is not noccsfnrlly different from that of nny other house Kt.KVATION, III the plan tho Isolation of tho kltchon from the dining nnd other rooms Is not great ly illfTcu-ut from n city or ordinary farm homo, Ix'tng nothing more than n bull which hns n china closet opening off from it, which Is Inclosed by doors. Tho front nud roar stnlrwny meet on a landing In tho middle of tho houso nnd continuo to tho second Door as ono stnlrwny. This provides a nrntlon from tho other parts of tho houso and Is economical because, of tho small spneo re quired to provide front nnd rear stairway ac commodation It saves a wirt of tho cost of ono stnlrway. Tlio cotlarstalrway goes down under the front stnlrway from tho rear. On the first floor there Is n parlor In which is placed a grate, a bedroom which Is pro vided with a largo closet, and a dining room, kltchon nud pnntrv. There. Is a closet In tho i nmlii hall In front. Tho kitchen Is provided Willi n sink, tlio water supply, therefore, being from n forco pump In tho kitchen or a wind mill forco pump to tank In attic. By this means thoro Is hot and cold water over tho kitchen sink, which Is a convenience not ordinarily found In a farm house. Connected with tho kitchen sink nro two tables and n drain board. On tho first tnhlo near the kltchon fluo could lo placed dishes to be washed, from whence thoy could bo trnmforrcd to n pan In tho sink, wnshod nnd placed to drain on the drain bonrd, nnd from thonco placet! on tho tnhlo at tho right after thoy hnvo Itcon w Ipod, Thoso tables nfford conveniences lu tho separation of meat and vegetables lieforo cooking. In tho pantry, which Is connected with tho kitchen, Micro Is a dough board, flour bin, cupboard nnd plnco for an Ice box. There Is n poiwagowoy to tho cellar on tho outside as woll as on tho In side of tho houso. Tho former is covered nnd protected by tho porch and porch roof. GROUND rLOOIl. On the second floor there nro four bod rooms nnd a bathroom, each of which Is pro vided with a good closet. Tho halls aro woll lighted, and there Is a possagoway by stnlrs to nttic, In which could bo arranged nn addi tional bed room If deslrod. In caso of neces sity two beds could be placed In any of the second floor rooms. , No fluo is shown In the dining room or the room over It, It Is the thought of tho writer that tho saving In brick work and stoves would provide n furnace which would furnish heat for tho entlro house at less oxponso than by nny othor means. A bathroom can be placed 'm a country houso and tho convenience of hot nnd cold water afforded with tho samo case that It can bo dona in a city. A tank in tho nttia to which may bo pumped cistern water will furnish tho source of supply for hot and cold water. Tho hot water is provided by mak ing n pipe connection which passes through tho kltchon stove into a hot water receiver and from theuco to the kitchen sink and bath room, all of which can lie supplied to n farm houvs as readily as any other building. The wasto water from bath, sink and water closet can pass to a vault outside. The matter of the expense of caring for plumbing appara tus is often spoken of. If It Is well put In and well nrrangod, there is no reason why there should Ihs any exjiense attached to its mainteunnco. It should bo as permanent, satisfactory and inexpensive to keep up as a stovo wall. ixJJtcry SECOND BTOllV. This houso was enlarged from n smaller bulldlrg which cost $1,800.
