BENTOH'S GR1TE.

It is now twenty-five years since the
mortal remains of Thomas II. Benton,
that illustrious Nissourian whose name
is forever linked with the history of his
State, were consigned to narrow grave
in Bellefontaine Cemetery. 1t was on
the 10th of April, 1858, that the funeral
of the great statesman, who had died in
Washington of a "cancerous affection"
took place from his St. Louis home.
The procession which accompanied the
hearse was, without doubt, the largest
which has ever passed through the city.
Every suitable vehicle in the town was
utilized to carry the mourners to the
scene Of the interment. Delegations of
sympathizing friends from every part of
the country, who had known the dead
Senator at one or another period of
his long public career, crowded the
grounds, and with barred heads the null
titude which had assembled within the
Enclosures OF the cemetery paid their
last tribute Of respect and reverence to
him who in life had exerted so power
ful an influence in the nations affairs.
Since that day the grave of Thomas H.
Benton has been visited but seldom.
even by the curious sight-seers who
take pleasure in noting the splendid
monuments which crowd upon the view
in every part Of the beautiful, well-or-
dered Bellefontaine. The gorgeous
mausoleum Of some prosperous money
prince, who in life devoted his whole
energy to the accumulation of dollars,
attracts the attention of every visitor,
while the simple headstone which marks
the spot Of Benton's intombment is
overlooked, or, if noticed at all, it is ae-
companied by the inquiry, why have
not this great mans fellow citizens
marked the place with some splendid
monument BETTING his greatness?'

pitchy character, and very brittle On
analysis, it cannot be distinguished
from bituminous coal Of exceeding good
quality, and is found to belong to the
true c;rboniferous period. It contains
some G5 per cent. of coke; and those
who are acquainted with the various
coal fields of England trace strong re-
semblance between the Arctic and the
English.

4 CHAPTER ON PUNCHED COINS.

Grandfather Lickshingle called at
the Office to leave word that the real
curse of this country is punched coin.
at is, he said, @blighting the lives Of
all mankind. While the hole was left
open it was our own fault if We permit
ted one to be thrust upon US; but now
that the hole is skillfully filed with a
deceptive white metal is it any wonder
that in the rush Of business We are con-
tinually made victims Of? For my own
part 1 think it is not. Have you ever
noticed how many weary moons wax
and wane while you are getting rid OF
a punched coin? 1t appears that every
living man, woman or child is on the
alert for mutilated money except your
self. am indebted to one of the fore
most financial minds of this country for
the only known method to rid ones self
of a punched quarter or half-dollar.
Make a purchase of 10 or Is cents
worth of goods, and give the shopman
bill to change, at the same time Sc
creting the mutilated coin in your hand.
Among your change are likely to be a
couple Of pieces of silver of the same
denomination as the mutilated piece in
your hand. As you pick up the change,
adroitly substitute a whole coin for the
one in your hand with hole in it. Now
scrutinize your change carefully, and
pass back the punched coin with sly
wink. The shopman will scratch his
chin in q vain effort to remember from
whom he received the debased coin, and
viii hand you out a good one in ex-
change.
But it IS the pretty shop-girl," said
grandfather with sigh, who knows
punched coin when she sees it. You never
can obtrude one Of them upon her, and
it is a waste Of time to attempt it. Offer

4 sHETL4HD-POSY RANCH.

The TEXAS FOOL Grotcer has the fol-
lowing concerning a novel feature in
the ranch business of that State: sAs
many of our readers do not know that
there is Shetland-pony ranch in the
State, we will give them bit of in
formation. Baron Won Raub, Leon
Springs, Bexar county, has 5000 acres,
all under fence, properly subdivided
and stocked with beautiful Shetland
and spotted ponies. His breeding stock
consists of seven stations and forty-fve
mares, all thoroughbred, and 200 small
pony mares. He is breeding race of
striped and spotted ponies to please the
children. He sells the increase to per-
sons all over the world, and the supply
is not equal to the demand. These lit
tie ponies range over the prairies like
sheep or goats, and present novel
sight. They are very gentle; every one
is IS docile as a cat, and can be caught
anywhere On the range

GERMAN ME41s AND sERYANTS.

There is generally garden attached
to a private house in Germany, where
in summer half the meals are eaten.
For a German takes his meals out of
doors whenever he can. He is fond of
the open air, and seems Indifferent to
tie insects which annoy the more fas-
tidious Americans, who don't like eating
under the trees. The foreigner will
find at the public garden hundreds Of
wealthy families who have left their ele-
gautly appointed dning-room to dine
in the open air and listen to the music.
1t tires one so to always eat at home"
they would say; OF, The best cook
bores one if you must eat after him all
the time" But few American servants
would put up with the manners and
ways Of these German mistresses. The
author of European Breezes" thus de-
scribes the German servants food and
privileges:
The German cook is never paid more
than s. a month, and SO at Christmas,
in a household where five or six other
servants are kept; and she is expected
to leave her domain to perform any
duty assigned her in any part of the
house.
I have even seen her sent for to dress
her lady's hair when her dressing maid
has been otherwise engaged.
Servants are not allowed white bread,
and only the meat from which all the
life has been fayed in the making of
soup. At Christmas they are each pre-
scented with a pound of coffee and SUI
gar; and, excepting on Sunday, when
two Jumps Of sugar are allowed, they
never have the article.
The housewife who is prudent carries
on her chatelaine little key. German
sugar-basins sometimes have locks, and
sugar is expensive She unlocks the
basin, and locks it again when the meal
IS over, leaving out on Sunday the two
Jumps each for the domestic.
Everything is apportioned by the mis-
tress, who goes much into the kitchen.
If the kitchen supper is to consist of
rice and milk, half pint of milk and
cup OF rice are allowed for each servant,
if of pancakes, one egg for each.
All these details are carefully looked
out for by the lady of the house, who,
according to our American ideas, wastes
about two-thirds Of her time in this
manner.
1t matters not how wealthy she is, she
prides herself upon knowing every de-
tail Of her kitchen, and too often enters
into discussion of the edibles and their
ingredients at table.

MINIS ANTIDOTE.

A cigar is the antidote for converse
tional timidity. 1t is provocative of tina
most entertaining small talk to which
men ever listen. 1t fills up pauses and
supplies grammatical lapses. The man
of limited vocabulary, having occasion
to open his mouth, discovers that he
may unburden himself of latent ideas.
A hitch occurs, and he might collapse in
the silence of despair, but volume Of
smoke exhaled fromthe lips supplies the
place of the desired epithet, and a wave
of the beloved cigar acts as a substitute
for the vainly-sought epigram.

KRUPP'S EMPLOTES.

The Krupps, the famous manufact-
urers Of guns at Essen, in Germany,
have done great deal to make their
workmen comfortable. They own $3.50
substantial houses or lodgings, in which
nearly 10000 people dwell. The an
nual rent for family apartments of four
or six rooms varies from $40 to $50,
while single workmen are fed and
lodged in large boarding houses at Sc
g month. For the most skillful and
better-paid mechanics more costly
houses are provided, in which, however,
the cost Of living per man does not ex-
coed 80 per month. Separate lodgings
are provided for foremen and officials.

and all the other accessories of a large

ness is carried on by the firm as part Of
its plant. and the operatives live in the
best style Of their countrymen Of the
same rank for less money. School
houses are provided and schools main
tanned; industrial education is given to
both boys and girls; there is a hospital
for sick or injured employees; and, alto
gether, everything is done that ingenuity
can devise to make the service of the
Krupps attractive and remunerative.

THE WIFES ALLOWANCE.


I fancy young woman at Is contem-
plating marriage with youth of 81.
Both are of the sensible sort. She has
property in her own right of $500, he of
$4,000. Both have homes and friends
to leave. They have been pronounced
husband and wife. She Immediately
has life interest in his $4,000. He, in
fact, handles the purse containing the
$4,000, and all its accumulations. Out
of it comes all family expenses, and he
accepts the rough and tumble of life for
the family. She steps into the manage
ment and direction of the household,
orders its supplies as suits her taste and
station in life. In this way both work
in their accepted sphere until age has
silvered their locks, and home and
property have accumulated to a COM
potency. Now they sit down to survey
the field and make note of their wealth
accumulated by their joint labors The
husband says: See what we have; let
Us enjoy this our own for the few short
years We have to spare" After a pause
she rises to the occasion and says: I'VE
have nice home and surroundings, but
see the sacrifice I made. I left home
and friends, and have worked for you
these years, and have not had cent for
all my LIES work" Not so, wife; all
this is ours" ours, yes-that sounds
nice, don't it-can handle cent with
ont running and begging it of you?"
We'll, wife, will you tell me, please,
how much I have aside from board and
clothes out Of it all, and do you not get
that much?" Yes, but you have the
purse, and I cannot buy a pin without
first consulting you" But, wife, do
you not have all you can use, and do
just as you please with all the house
contains?" Yes, but all my hard earn
ings go for the benefit of you and the
family, and I have nothing" The hus-
band fails to see what he has had more
than she, and says: viii you please
tell NE what I have had for my hard
work these years except my living, and
where has yours come from?"
They separate not in the best humor.
The night is passed, and the next day
finds them Flooding along IN the old
way until death closes the scene. Now
neither can take more with them than
box and few clothes, with, perhaps,
the regrets Of sympathizing friends.
Her $500, with its accumulation, goes to
her heirs, and the joint estate from his
$4,000 is frittered away by the hungry
horde of relatives who wait for dead
mems shoes. And it is written this is
the end. Is it worth while for US to re-
pine over our lot? I ask, shall We not
consider that all we have is just what
We use, not what We hoard? And all
either Of Us can have is what We eat,
drink and wear, and whatever else we
do is for some one else" Old Fogy,"
