Plans of President Garficld's Fam
ily.

A special despatch from Cleveland dated
the 29th says;
Mr.. Joseph Rudolph, brother of Mrs. Gar
field, came to Cleveland to-day for the first
time in many days. Mr.. j. Stanley Brown,
private secretary to the late President, also
came, but returned this evening. He will re-
main at Mentor for a few days to settle num-
erous private business matters, when he will
return to Washington. Gen. Swain and
Col. Rockwell left on Wednesday for the cap
ital. Col. Rockwell's wife remains with Mrs.
Garfield for the present and perhaps for the
rest of her life. Gen. Garfeld's mother will
make her home at the farm, paying occasion
al visits to her daughters, Mrs. Larribee and
Mrs. Trowbridgc, at Solon. Mrs. Garfeld's
father and brother and the latter's wife will
also reside at the farmhouse. The boys.
Harry and James, will start for Williams
College Saturday to resume their studies, and
Miss Molie will probably return to her pri-
vate school in this city. 1t has been thought
by some that Mrs. Garfield would leave the
farm and move to some place where she and
the children could all live quietly together
while the latter were being educated, but she is
said to have stated that she would never leave
Mentor; that it there the family had
| spent so many happy days together; that it
was in the true sense their home-the home
Gen Garfield had provided for them, and
which he loved WELL and she would live
there the rest of her life. The noble
woman still bears up bravely. though the re-
turn to Mentor was one Of the severest trials
| Of her long ordeal. Those who feared she
would be compelled to succumb at last when
the reaction set in feel encouraged by her
continued fortitude.

More than one person has doubtless
entertained this speculation. There

most advantageous for the dog when 60

Turned athwart or disgonally than when
going directly endwise. A dog gains

running. 30 to speak, upon a broad
gauge than when going upon narrow
gauge. that is to say, in direct line OF
his length. Being liable to kicks and

3. In case a dogs safety requires him
to turn suddenly and run in an oppo-

PEELED to do-his diagonal position is
then most favorable fo- him, because he
is partly turned around already, and
his feet are in position to serve his OBJ

to throw q backward glance OF his eye

A Husband Who Laughed.

Detroit Free Press.
Several men were making purchases
in Michigan avenue store yesterday,
when a man who had been looking out
of the window for some time turned
and said:
"Well, that's a bad case"
What is it?" inquired two or three
at once.
"Well, don't know who is the hus'
band of this woman out here in the
wagon, but if ] were he I'd go across
the street and smash that fellows
head"
"Why?"
"Why, because he has been working
like beaver for the last half hour to get
up filtration with her."
At this one OF the men began to
chuckle. Then the chuckle ran into a
laugh, and finally he had to sit down.
"What's the matter with your" was
asked.
"Why, Im-Im that woman's hus'
band"
"Are you? And You are laughing
over the fiirtation!"
"I-I. can't help it," he said, as he
went off into another fit. "Just think
of him flirting and strutting up and
down and doing the purity when the
old woman out there has been stone
blind for seven years-ha! hal hal"

PEANUTS.
How They are Cleaned and Pre-
pared for the Market.

pared for the Market.
Peanuts to be prepared for the mar.
ket are placed in large cylinder, from
which they enter the brushes, where
every nut receives fifteen feet CT a
brushing before it becomes free. Ihen
they are dropped on an endless oelt,
passing along at the rate OF TOUR miles
an hour. On each side OF the belt stand
girls, and, as the nuts fall on the belt,
the girls, with a quick motion oil the
hand, pick out all the poor looking nuts,
allowing only the best to pass the cruci-
bic. Those that do pass drop into bags
on the floor below. When the bag ls
filled it is sewed up and branded as
cocks" with the figure OF q rooster
prominent on its sides. The peas
caught by the girls are thrown to one
side, again picked over and the pest
singled out,, bagged and branded as
"ships." These are as fine nut as the
first for eating, but in shape and coior
do not compare with the cocks. Inc
third grade is branded as eagles.
These are picked out of the cuttings oil
COCKS" and "ships." The cuttings
that are left from the eagles" are bag
ged, sent to the top story, and what little
m eat is in them is shaken out by pat
emit shelter. The nuts being shelled by
this new process the meat drops in bags
below, free from dust or dirt OF any
kind, and is then shipped in 200 pound
sacks to the North. where it is bought
by the copfectioners for the purpose oil
making taffy or peanut candy. 1t may
here be stated that a peculiar kind oil
oil is extracted from the meat OF the
nut, and in this specialtya large trade
is done among the wholesale druggists.
There is nothing wasted, for even shells
are made useful. They are packed in
sacks and sold to stable keepers for
horse bedding, and very healthy bed
rhey make.

Postage Stamps.

Scientific American.
Postage stamps are printed from en-.
grayed plates under hydraulic press
on paper especially prepared for this
purpose.
Two hundred stamps are printed on
one sheet at each motion of the press.
The colors used in the inks are ultra
marine blue, prussian blue, chrome yell
low and prusSian blue (green), vermll-
ion and Carmine.
The sheets are gummed separately;
they are placed back upward upon a
fiat wooden support, the edges being
protected by a metallic frame, and the
gum-compcsed OF an aqueous solution
of gum deXtrine with little acetic acid
and alcohol-is applied with a wide
brush. 1t dries quickly, and then the
sheets are pressed. Each sheet is cut
in half, and is then ready for the per-
iorating machine.
This perforating machine was invent
ed and patented by a Mr.. Archer in
1852. The patent was purchased by the
Government for $4,000. The perfora-
tons are effected by passing the sheets
between two cylinders provided with a
series of raised bands, which are adjust
ed to distance apart equal to that re-
Ouired between the rows OF perfora-
tons. Each ring on the upper cylinder
has a series OF cylindrical projections
which fit corresponding depressions in
the bands of the lower cylinder; by
these the perforations are punched out,
and by a simple contrivance the sheet
is detached from the cylinders in which
it has been conducted by an endless
band. The rows running longitudinal y
OF the paper are first made, and then by
similar machine the transverse one.
The sheets are finally subjected to
heavy pressure, by which the rough
ness caused by the punching operation
and other manipulations is removed.

THE jury system is undoubtedly the
best means we have Of applying the
laws of retribution, but it Is certainly
open to many grave objections. The
greatest difficulty the courts find when
they have to try case which has be.
come celebrated on account Of its atroci'
ty is to get hold OF twelve men whose
ignorance is so profound that they are
considered legally eligible to the office;
Ii man has read the newspapers and
used his brains sufficiently to form any
opinion whatever he is at once challeng-
Ell. He is not thought fit to decide
upon a verdict unless he is so utterly
Indifferent to the public good that his
Uranium is as empty as a haunted house.
Once in a while, however, the jury take
the matter into their own hands and de-
termine that the ends OF justice shall be
attained. Said the foreman OF one such
Jury in the West: "Iour Honor, We
can't bring in verdict OF manslaughter,
because the person killed was a woman.
bat We have unanimously agreed to
bring in a verdict OF guilty of horse
stealing, and are determined that the
prisoner shall hang for it."

What Old Pap Thomas Told Him
In Regard TO Mr.. Garfield.
From the Newark Pen.
Lieut.. John L. Glenn called at the Pen
Office last Monday. The Lieutenant had
Just arrived from Washington, and was
en- route to Galesville, Wis. Everybody
In Licking county knows Johnnie.
Everybody in the United States has
heard OF Johnnie. He was the pet oil
the Army of the Cumberland, and
known as the Drummer boy OF
Chicamauga." II was Johnnie who was
borne on the shoulders of soldier dur
ing the terrific storm OF shot and she'll,
and kept up the spirits OF the tired, dis.
heartened troops by his rat-a-tattoo on
the drum which was suspended from
his neck. He looks now hardly older
than fifteen, and his statue is that of a
boy OF fewer years, but for all that he
has been married to a daughter OF the
late Gen. French nearly five years, and
IS now teaching military science at
Galesville Military Academy, where he
has been for the pan two years The
Lieutenant has been in Washington
looking after promotion he most sure
ly deserves and will doubtless receive
The position is captain and assistant
quartermaster OF the Army, with
a salary of $1,000, and 10 per cent in
crease every five years in the service.
While talking TO a reporter he incident
ally remarked about hayinga letter from
the late Gen. George II. Thomas, which,
after some reluctance, he gave to the
reporter. 1t is an interesting epistle,
and contains this paragraph Of special
interest at this time:
Do YOU remember the story OF Gen.
He worked on a canal and
educated himself by buying his text
books, which ne studied at every leisure
moment when the canal wasnot frozen
up, and in winter paid for his quarter
at school when the canal was frozen up.
Now he is one OF the distinguished
Representatives in Congress. He was
also greatly distinguished as soldier
during the war. Your friend,
GEO. III. THOMAS.

What the Ancients Thought OF the
Moon

What the Ancients Thought OF the
Moon.
F. Z. Fryatt, in Popular Science Monthly.
Nor is it to be marveled at, when We
consider that this planet was the most
brilliant and changeable, as we'll as the
nearest and apparently largest celestial
body that presented itself to their night
ly view. and that in the clear, exquisite
ether of Arabian skies, and the calm
nights OF India and Egypt, it shone
among the heavenly host with luster
unknown to dwellers in the crowded
cities OF a northern cline.
But the children OF these tropic lands
did something more than gaze.speculate
and admire; with supreme patience
they reared lofty towers and grand pyra
mids, and invented instruments which
have led up step by step 10 the transit
instrument, the micrometer anu the
telescope OF to-day. A college OF astron-
omy was founded by the priesthood OF
Egypt, the worship OF the moon grow
ing out Of their frequent use OF her pic
ture or carved image in making their
meteorological announcements to the
people; as, for instance, when the Nile
was about to overflow, warning heralds
were sent through the streets bearing
aloit the familiar symbol of the river
goddess, and a giided figure of the moon
in the phase it would present at the date
OF the expected rising.
In the course OF time, the signitica-
ton was forgotten, the symbol was wor-
SHIPPED, and finally what it represented
deifed. The moon no longer appeared
to the unlettered populace as merely a
brilliant lamp suspended from q revov-
ing dome, and shining until extin2uish-
ed by the waters 81 the ocean, but now
was looked upon With awe as a region OF
sublime mysteries.
The veneration OF the moon gradually
spread with population to all parts Of
the world. We have records of ancient
Chinese ceremonials relics found among
Druidical remains in Western Europe;
accounts of astronomical picture writ
ings OF a religious character, and lunar
calendars OF gold, silver and stone, dis.
covered in ancient temple ruins IN Mex
leo, Central ard South America
Among the buildings devoted to lunar
worship may be mentioned the wonder
full Temple of Diana at Ephesus, built
at the combined expense OF the nations
of Asia, and the magnifcens mansion
OF the moon adjoining the Temple.of
the Sun in ancient Cuzco. This build
ing was in form pyramidal pavilion,
with doors and enclosures completely
incrusted with glittering silver. With
in, on the southern wall, was painting
in white, representing the moon as
beautiful woman. On either side along
the eastern and western walls, on mas.
sive thrones OF silver, were seated the
dead queens OF Peru, embalmed and
arrayed in regal spiendor.
