ANECDOTES OF JoHN RANDOLPH
The celebrated duel between Ran
dolph and Henry Clay grew out of the
Presidential election of 1924. In that
election Mr.. Clay, finding that he had
no chance, but held the balance of pow
er, elected John Quincy Adams, by
whom he was made Secretary of State.
In public debate Mr.. Randolph spoke
of this as ''a combination unheard of
till then, of the Puritan with the black
Leg. In the resulting duel Clay missed
his aim and Randolph fred wild. Clay
grasped his hand and exclaimed: 81
trust in God, my dear sir, you are un-
touched; latter what has occurred 1
would not have harmed you for thou
sand worlds" Not long after Clay told
Randolph that Mrs. Clay had borne a
son, and they had named it John Ran
dolph Clay. Mr.. Randolph, straighten-
ing up, replied: 81 hope he will never
disgrace his godfather. Nothwithstand-
ing this incident, and the fact that Mr..
Randolph paid visit to the Senate but
a few days before his death for the ex-
press purpose of bidding adieu to Clay,
the tradition is that he was at his own
request buried in his grave in sitting
posture with his face to the West "that
he might watch his enemy, Henry
Clay" The place which he selected for
his grave was between two pine trees IN
front of his house. One of them is still
standing.

Comparative Valuc OF Milk for Cheese
in England AID America.

In England. when cheese i worth 40
shIllings sterling per cwt.. the dairy
man gets about l3i, cents per gallon
for his milk when made into good
quality ot cheese. In comparing prices
abroad with prices in the United States,
we find that milk nets the daiTyman
considerably less money than in Eng
land. If we assume that 10 pounds Of
milk ON an average make one pound Of
cured cheese. and that II cents per
pound are realized for it, after deduct
ing the expense of making, boxing, etc.
to fit 1t for market. We can easily calcu-
late the value of our milk when it is
made into first-class cheese. A gallon
OF milk, wine measure, weighs pounds
9 9ounces; consequently l0pOunds would
make one gallon and pint of milk. The
milk, then, would net the dairyman n
trihe less than 215 cents, currency, per
quart-a difference of over cents per
quart in favor of English dairymen.
But the latter complain that cheese
making at these figures leaves only a
narrow margin of profits, and hence
that all low-priced cheese will not pay.
As the best American cheese has ranged
in England during the past year at an
average of from 60 to 66 shillings, ster-
ling, per cwt.. the effect mas been to
send down the price of common grades
of English cheese to quite low figure.
We notice that Cheshire medium was
quoted on the 1st of October at A shil-
lings, sterling, the cwt. 1t is evident
that cheese at such rates, on the high
priced lands of England, cannot pay,
and hence we are not surprised to
learn that an effort is being made to
change to some other branch of farm
ing.
The time is not distant, we think,
when cheese-making in England will be
narrowed dewn to Clancy" or high
priced qualities. Our efforts should
now be directed to the manufacture of
an article that will take its place along
side of the fine English cheddar, which
sells at from so to 90 shillings per cwt.
There is no good reason why we should
not be able to produce as fine goods as
any in the world. We already have the
skill in making, and what we now most
need is skill in curing and better curing
rooms.-Rural NelO Yorker.

Two BODIES REDUCED TO A GALLON
OF AsHEs.-Wednesday we gave the
particulars of the placing of two bodies
in the heated cremation furnace of DR..
LIE Moyne at $3.50 P. NJ, on Tuesday,
and of the sealing up Of the furnace at
10P. NJ. of. the same day. The sealing
up was necessary in order to allow the
retort to cool off gradually. Yesterday
morning it was still red hot and con-
tinued SO for long time. This morn
ing, about SO hours after the furnace
had been closed, the retort had cooled
off sufficiently and the iron door which
closed it was removed in the presence
of the Doctor and a few friends. Moth
ing remained of the bodies and the cof-
fin but about a gallon of dry dusty
ashes, and cremation in the furnace was
pronounced grand success.
On Tuesday afternoon when they were
placed in the furnace the bodies of the
two sheep weighed 1872 pounds, making
a total weight Of 226 pounds, which was
completely reduced to ashes, in bulk
that would not more than fill a gallon
measure.
This experiment shows cremation to
be entirely feasible, and now the ques-
ton presents itself, will it become pop
ular? Aside from the prejudice grown
out of habit and education, there can be
but little said against it. The Doctor
could write volume in its favor, and
give many reasons why this mode of
disposing of the dead should be adopt
ed that would be difficult to answer.
The subject is now under discussion all
over the country, and, indeed, all over
the civilized world, and all sorts Of opin-
ions are elected. Whatever the result
may be, the Doctor has given Washing
ton the distinction of having the first
cremation furnace in America Wash

CHRISTIAN CHARTTY.-The other day
a superanuated beggar, says the Cor
nell Era, might have been seen going
through the halls of the U. B. looking
for "old clothes" He at last stopped
atthe dormitory occupied by two sem
iors, the younger of whom happened to
be in. The "pity the sorrows of poor
old man" touched the seniors heart,
and going to the clothes-press he re-
turned with q pair of his chum's un-
mentionables, and with sympathetic
tears gushing from his eyes gave them
with his blessing. When his chnm re-
turned and demonstrated with him, he
innocently said that he never thought
of giving a pair Of his own. Which is
undoubtedly true.

WHEN Louis XIV, the Well-Beloved,
was passing through town in thenorth
of France, his reception being of the
most enthusiastic, an old woman was
seen suddenly to dart through the mill
tary escort, crying: "Let me see him
Let me see him |"
The king stopped his carriage, ad-
dressed few kind words to her, then
continued his progress.
Then the old woman flung her hands
into the air and, with all the rapture of
a pious Simeon, cried:
"Thank Heavenl I have seen him
And now I don't care how soon-he
dies I"
