Gnarding Garfal1,s Grave.

No one, says the Cleveland Penny
Press, is allowed to approach within 100
yards of Garfield's tomb after nightfall
until they have been identified by the
guard who still PAGES ceaselessly back
md forth every hour day and night, eX-
Cept in stormy weather, when he sits at
an open window in little guard-house
that stands Just across the road and two
or three rods from the vault, in front of
which a light must be kept burning.
For this guard duty the government de-
tails twelve men and an officer from the
regular army. all of whom are within
call, and three beside the one on sentry
duty are constantly within the little
guard house. These, armed with the
breech-loading Springfield rifles, and
with l,S00 pounds of ammunition, are
impressed with the belief that it would
take a whole regiment of ghosts and
ghOuls to steal from their affectionate
care Garfield's sacred remains. That
there are dastardly wretches who would
steal the bones of martyr for paltry
ransom, is proved by the attempt to Sc
cure the body while it was yet in the
city vault, and before it had been re-
moved to the Schoield private vault,
and shows the precaution a wise one.
These guards will not be removed until
the body safely rests beneath the monu-
ment. The guards are almost essential
to protect the tomb from the relic fiends
as from the ghouls. The guards assert
that were it not for their presence, and
the wire screen or fence, which COM
pletely surrounds the. tomb, that the
crowds that visit it would chip of,
break up and carry away vault, casket
and all as relics. AS it is they break
twigs from adjacent trees, reach through
the wires and pluck blades of grass,
pick up pebbles or anything else they
can seize upon, placing them in their
pocket-books or wrapping them up care
fully to bear away as mementos of their
visit. No one is allowed to enter ex-
cept the officer in charge and Mrs. Gar
field and her family. She comes from
her home on Prospect street every week
or two, often bringing some beautiful
floral tribute, the boys or Mollie with
her, always sad but calm and un-
demonstrative. Every Sabbath a bou-
quet of rare flowers is sent to the ceme-
terry, and the officer in charge enters
the tomb and places them on the coffin,
as it stands in full view with the side
toward the doors. During the day the
doors stand open, but at night they are
closed and securely locked.

Evolution in Kair-Pins,

The hair-pin of to-day is no more like
its ancestor than is the enlightened man
of science like the primeval monkey
Hair-pins have ''evolutedn out of the
eld-fashioned straight wire into various
shapes. sizes, and designs. Most of
them are enameled. They are of vary
ing length, from the gossamer forks
with corrugated limbs, used to hold in
place pufs and curls. to the long pins
required to keep on the big hats whose
broad brims present great temptations
to the wind. They are made by machin-
cry, and are so cheap that the poorest
women may enjoy the greatest variety.
What becomes of the hair-pins? They
drop on floors; they get swept up and
lost; they become bent and useless; they
disappear and are replaced. and great
factories.are employed in making them.
In recent divorce case in New York
the wife put in her complaint an allega-
ton that she found strange hair-pin
on her husbands pillow.-Neao York

Made Cheaply and Paid for Dearly.

10 show the enormous profits made
by gas companies the following figures
have been ascertained from a scientific
gentleman who has for several years
been interested in gas productions:
"You will be surprised to learn, per-
haps, that the coal used by the larger
companies costs them nothing, that is to
say, their profits are so large that they
entirely wipe out the original cost of the
coal.
Let me give you outside figures:
One ton of coal costs, say IS, which
leaves liberal margin on the actual
figure paid for it. Add cost of convert
ing it into gas, 50. This makes a total
outlay of 81.
''Now, from this ton there is given on
an average 5000 feet of gas, which at
81 25 per 1000 viii realize $50 25. To
this amount add the proceeds of cal
dron of coke (usuallyi it is a caldron and
a half) say s.. which with the value of
the tar-wcrsh about seventy-five cents
brings the total receipts from one ton
of coal up to S24. Deduct from this the
cost of the ton and the labor of convert
ing it into gas. and you have total
profit of SIT. So that actually the coal
costs the gas companies merely the cost
of conversion.
''Of course there must be an allow
ance made for wear and tear, but as the
plant and other apparatus have long
ago been paid for out of past profits, I
have not included them in my calcula-
ton. IN. Y. Journal

IlllteracY in the United States.

MIR. John Eaton said, at a meeting of
the Union League Club in New York.
the other evening that, though nearly
twenty years had passed since the de
claratlon of universal freedom, there
were 3,220.S7 of the colored popula-
ton, at the age of 10 years and upward

to the whole population of the original
thirteen States. The il,iterate whites

ages. Of the achievements of RELIGION.
he said the church has a great influence
upon education, bnt the money invest
ed IN the education of women. by the
church, was not one-6ftieth the amount
OF money expended for the college edu-
cation of men. Yet if provisions were
made by the church to meet the want il
would be at a cost of S308, 900. 600. 1t
would take 100000 religious papers
to furnish one TO each family. The sit
ting capacity for the Sabbath is 2S.-
10000, but it would require an addi-
tlonal Il, $50, 900 to provide accomoda-
tons tor the remainder of the popula-
non. Mr.. Eaton said that it was absurd
TO expect that the church should take
the responsibility of the education of
our youth. Free education could only
be promoted by the State. In every
State there are liberal provisions for the
education of the people, Yet these ad-
vantages are inadequate. The speaker
sad that the people who seemed to
think that Senator Logan's proposition
to make the appropriation for the edu-
cation OF the youth of this country
(S6O,0OO,OOO) was too much money to
be expended were mistaken. Senator
Logan's figures were $4,000. 600 short.

first year would he 3110 900, 900. In our
cities there IS an absence, on an average,
OF two-flfths Of the school population.
To give to children of South Carolina
the proper advantages for education it
would require tax of 3 per cent, upon
the people of that State. In these South
ern States there are 1874, $50 of the
population aged q and upward who
cannot write. In the United States there
are l,S1S,2l6 who cannot write. In
twelve States there are more than 100,
OO0, and IN eleven States alone the illit-
crate voters outnumber the voters of
ordinary intelligence The voters of the
two parties in the last Presidential cleo
ton show that, in all but five of the
States in the Union, there were enough
llllterate men to reverse the results of
the election in each of the States.

say so! Most everybody made their

yourself, you had only to carry bushel
of corn to a neighbours still, and come
back with demiiohn of pure juice.
When we had a corn-shuckin', a log
rollin', q Shouse-raisin', or any such
frolic, the whisky just sleshed round like
water We only got coffee on Sundays,
but we had whisky all the time, and it
was whisky as was whisky not the ad-

now. You could have got fullernagoose

As the early settler said this he sighed,
wiped his mouth on his shirtsleeve, and
shook his head in regretful sort of
way. indicating his belief that those
good old days when whisky actually
''sloshed around" were gone.-Ieras

.'O," said he, ''he took calomel, and,
without thinking, put his hands into

with it." we told him. and asked if his
brother had eaten any fish.

The organ peals, the cffbir is singing;
J wonder if she knows I'm herei
Her thoughts no doubt are upward winging,
While mine sink, ciogged with doubt and fear.
Tis she, of course; there's no mistaking
Her crowded, glossy braids of brown,
And thats the bonnet she was making
i sat and watched her beat the crown.
How deft her fingers dre-how busy!
Ali happy man within whose home
But, stsyi such thoughts. they make me dizzy,
And have no place beneath this dome.
Far better should ponder griTnly
My faults committed, duties missed.
How neat her glove is, and how trinity
1t buttons round her slender wrist!
An! vain and poor is earthly pleasure;
No wonder that our sad hearts yearn
To some more high and lasting treasure
They're sitting down. Perhaps she'll turn.
Thank Heaven, she sees me! She is fiinging
A sweet reproachful glance my way
Yes dear, indeed I've been singing,
And now, my saint, mean TO pray!

graceful women ever take to cigarette
smoking; that is, to any extent. OF

otherwise than as the embodiment of

are great smokers. Russian ladies, too,
as far as my experience goes, are ex-
ceedingly graceful and elegant in APP

ing is almost universal. 1t is only nee
