Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe's death
at the age of 84 was not, of course, un
expected, but it will be not the less re
gretted both by her Immediate friends
and relatives and by thousands who
had never seen her. Although she was
best known by her "Uncle Tom's Cab
in," Mrs. Stowe was a very proline
writer, and In point of literary merit
her most popular book was by no
means her best oue. Its success wis
uue uirgeiy to its appearance at a time
when the slavery question was becom
ing the dominant Issue and It probably
somewhat hastened the final settlement
of that question by the arbitrament of
arms. It was, however, as a writer of
domestic tales and religious stories that
Mrs. Stowe was at her bewt Herstrons
domestic instincts and her family asso
ciations directed her efTorts In that
direction and in her chosen field she
was unexcelled. As a woman not less
than as a writer Mrs. Stowe enjoyed
the esteem and affection of her asso
ciates. She was a high type of the
American woman and with her death it
will be felt that a mother in Israel b:u
passed away.

Called to Account.
We do not often read of General
Jackson being worsted In any personal
encounter, but a contributor to the
American Historical Register tells the
following story In a paper on Gen.
John Adair, of Kentucky. Adair hiid
commanded the Kentucky forces In the
battle of New Orleans, Jan. 8, 181.").
His command had been complimented
by Jackson and by the Legislature of
his State.
Strangely enough after this, when
"gentle peace returning" had restored
him to his Kentucky home, news came
that General Jackson had thrown some
shir upon the Kentucky troops. The
next day, after the arrival of the news,
the stately figure of General Adair was
seen riding calmly through the streets
of Harrodsburg, bearing southward.
He conferred with nobody, but some
how it took breath that General Adair
had gone to call General Jackson to ac
count for his aspersions of the Ken
tucky troops.
There were no railroads, no tele-

Irees add more than beauty to
country highway, although that fea
ture alone should be a sufficient in
centlve to Insure their presence. Bu
they are comforting, as well, and the!
shade helps to retain a degree of moist
ure that retards the making of dust.
The useful highway should be made
beautiful and comfortable as well. Ev-
ery negligent highway commissioner
should be compelled to ride a wheel
along a sun-blistered road, or better
yet be harnessed to a load, as Is the
poor dumb horse. This would bring
him to a realization of the fact that a
little shade along the road Is a good
and gracious thing.

Served a Good Purpose.
Among the seven trades which a stu
dent In mechanical engineering must
learn at Cornell Is that of the black-j
smith. Occasionally there Is a protest, '
but it is never heeded. One dude, ten
years ago, was unusually averse to soil
ing hie hands. But he had to work at
the forge Just the same. Last fall he
went to Prof. Morris and thanked him
for being compelled to learn black
smithing. "Why?" asked the Professor.
"Why, you see," replied the former
dode. "I am now superintendent of a
mine away back In Colorado. Last
summer our main shaft broke and there
was no one In the mine bat myself

There was not a large amount of

This Man Writes Upside Down.
There Is a man who lives In Gum

force of habit He has become so
used to the Idea that be never writes
like other persons.
One day he walked Into the Ebbltt
House In Washington. The clerk turn
ed the register book around In the
usual manner, so that he might Inscribe
his name, but, to bis astonishment,
the stranger reversed the volume quiet
ly so as to make the writing all upside
down from bis point of view, and add
ed the name, "A. W. Mann. Gambler,"
In the proper place.
Though writing bis name upside
down he did It with as much ease and
quickness ax a man would ordinarily
do It right side up. The clerk did not
know what to make of It and axked him
to explain whether he always did It
that way. The stranger replied that
It was as comfortable for him to write
In that fashion as in the ordinary man
ner. He added that It was not difficult
at all to learn, and that anybody could
acquire this peculiar art, though he
had never met any one In this country
or In Europe who knew how to write
upside down. He claimed to have orig
inated the system.

friends. Instead of an Ill-proportioned
shapeless object of pity. One of the
greatest mistakes of the woman who
has not a plethoric purse Is that she
sacrifices quality of work for quantity,
and her greed Is her undoing. She fig

how many she could make at home by
