THE EIFFEL TOWER.
Marat llalataaii Considers It a Marvel ol
Artlatlit Work.
Th" Eiffel Tower it the pride of
Krnnoo and one of the wonder of the
world, and I do not grie with those
who do not think it U a ttructuro re
markable for beauty. Tho linos of it
are exquisitely drawn, ami Unit portion
which seams moat Impressive, th huso,
ha boon very earnestly crit leisod liy
writer with a talent for fault-llntllng.
No morn impressive structure wan over
reared by human liunda thitn Urn tower
up to thn llrat platform. This purl
OomliU of four giguutlo arches, joined
and sustaining em h other, and thn im
posing proportion! thus far do not re
late exclusively to height. 'J'hn eleva
tor which run In two of tho four foot
of tho tower are of American design,
and when one look upon them crawl
ing up tho steep places that seem to
move with provoking slowness, hut
when one stops on the elevator and
goes up. and especially when one comes
down, the speed seems uitc sufficient.
Arrived on the first platform there Is a
great space In which there Is nn exton
give restaurant, and boor and wiuu are
administered over a large surface, while
the promenades are spacious, accom
modating thousands. From this eleva
tion one beholds with awe the rise of
the elevator to tho second platform.
There Is a ladder In what tuny be
termed the shaft of tho elevator, and It
makes the sensitive shrink to see tho
great cage crawling, as it were, upon
Ibis ladder until It reaches the di..y
height of the second platform. It It
from this that the view Is finest.
The Seine Is a blue ribbon through the
heart of l'arl, the surrounding hills
re dwarfed, the Are do Triompho, the
gilded domes of tho Invallde and ol
the I'antheon, the old cathedral of No
tre Dame, anil even tho Trocadcro, In
deed all the structures for which Pari
Is famous, dwindle luto apparent in
llgnlllcance. One can see the whole
oily and the country round about; and
there Is a misty horizon that In.iksdiiu
aud far as if it might comprehend half
a dozen of the provinces of France.
From this point of view the el, -valor
tarts that carries one half way of the
remainder of the giddy ascent. When
up that lar an Iron door opens ami the
passengers are shifted from one eleva
tor to another, aud then, In due time,
the tip-top platform Is reached. Olio
can comprehend the comparative eleva
tion of tho platforms the second 8.'tll
feel In the air, aud the one at the top -by
remembering that this di:tiiice is
greater than the total height of the
Washington monument. The view
from the eitretue height did not im
press me a equal to that from the sec
ond platform. There is something al
most awful iu the altitude, though thorn
Is (ease of security regarding the
oonstructiou of the tower. The re
liability of the strength that has bees
ffiveu It 1( obvious, aud there Is no sen
sation to a reasonable person of beiug
In a critical situation. Pari seems
mall aud the great park the Hols da
Boulogne, which contains 11. mm acres
looks like a ten acre Held, and the
famous forests seem to be a lot of gar
den slirublssry. The trains that go
crawling shout thn country appear as
though they might be toys manipulated

I went gunning the two look along an
ii.l st ill- .1 owl, keeping u hidden
' under the wagon seat, and during tho
' afternoon they managed lo get scpar

) pretended game, so aa not to be ex

marked that they wouldn't load again,
they were so near out. The innocent
irunner espied the owl the moment
they arrived in the vicinity, and began
blazing away al once at a hundred
yards' distance.
After the fourth shot, fired in fever

also. ''Icin't you see the blamed buz

A Vi Artful Dog.
"Speaking "ogs," said a gentle
man from A iiule. discussing some
of i.l.o recent dog stories told by the
uelegate. "there is a little fox terrier
owned by one of my acquaintances.
His mistress thought so much of him
that when he was a pup she used to
bathe him every day. First she would
bathe the baby, then tho dog would
be given his douse in the wuter. But
she never used the custile soap, which
was reserved exclusively fortne baby,
on the dog He, poor animal, had to
be content with ivory soap. This dis
crimination evidently annoyed the
tApriar The other tluv his mist res
saw bim go up stairs a little before the
hour for the bath.
"She followed on tip-toe to see what
he was doing. She saw him go to the
bath room, pick up the cake of ivory
in his mouth and drop it out of the
window. His mistress, just previous
to the bath, seemed tiie soup und put
it in her pocket. When the dog's
turn in the tub came he dehberately
picked up the castilesoap, and wagged
tiis tail joyously as he put it in his mis
tress' hand. Then she produced the
ivory soap. You should have seen the
poor dog. He was utterly woebegone
and crestfallen. Never saw a dog look:
so cheap in my life.'' Cincinnati

Mora Than Its Share of Tails.
Henry Smith, of Brood Center,
Conn., was in the highway on his way
to his day's work in the fields, when
he suddenly beheld iu tho road what
seemed to him a curious circus. A
black snake, a six footer, was curled
on the ground, but instead of having
a head, as the serpents Mr. Smith had
been familiar witii all had, tiiis snake
seemed to begin and end in tails.
Eager to know tho mystery of his
queer construction, if iiossibie. Smith
picked up a stone and hurled it ut the
strange reptile. Ho didn't hit him,
but the mvsterv came apart in the

ground. Both snakes were lively and

the man could lind another missile.
