He died surrounded by his family at
St. Cloud, Orange Mountain. where
he had lived for about 20 years. In
vitatiOns had been issued for Fecep.

weeks, though it was not expected
that his illness would result fatally.

Weakness in Diet and Drink.

DemorestS Monthly.
There is reason to believe that we
Americans consume altogether too
much starchy and farinacious food.
We are nation of pie, pastry and
pudding eaters, The result. the ply
sicians say, is the clogging up of the
system-dyspepsia, defective nutri-
ton, constipation, headaches, and
finally the breaking down of the sys-
tenn. Americans who go abroad for
their health are not permitted to in
duIge in their tastes for starchy
foods, and their better health is often
due to this change of diet. 1t does
not follow that more animal food
should be taken. There are vegeta-
bles that are nutritious and which
contain comparatively little starch.
Among these are cabbages, cauliflOw.
err, lentis, peas, French beans, hari-
cots, carrots, turDips, and the like.

healthy stomach. 4 novel enterprise
in London for feeding the poor is the
establishment Of kitchens where for
penny an appealing dish is furnish
ed of certain of these vegetables
which are far cheaper and quite as
wholesome and nutritious as meat.
All nations seem to have their weak
ness in diet and drink. The French
use too much wine, the English ale
and porter. the Germans not only
too much beer, but injure their stom-
achs by prepared foods containing
too much vinegar. We Americans
have a greater variety of cheap food
to choose from than any other nation,
but we consume too much pork
and destroy our digestion by eating
in excess starchy compounds,

The Remains of General Grant.

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-During sey-
eral weeks past there has been much
speculation in the minds of New
Workers as to whether General Grants
body would remain here or be remOy-
ed from the State. These doubts grew
out of recent published statement
attributed to Hon. j. B. Chaffee, to
the effect that the family of General
Grant did not wish the Generals
body to remain in this city and that
Congress at its next session would
take action in the matter.
In order to make sure about the
matter, the Grant Monument Assoc
citation decided to take action, and on
the 10th inst, Mayor Grace. its Vice
President, wrote letter to Mrs.
Grant, stating the rumors at some
length, saying that they were likely
to interfere seriously with the raising
of the funds for the monument, and
asking her to make a definite and
positive statement on the subject to
be given to the public. Her reply is

unnecessary to enter into any descrip-

that they are at first composed OF

TREATMENT.-A wart having a

ner. The weather was not all that
could be desired. but it did not in the
least dampen the ardor of the cele.
brants. Almost before day break the
people began to pour in from the sur
rounding counties both in this State
and Pennsylvania. By noon the town
was full of visitors. 1t is estimated
that the crowd numbered fully 5000.
The observance of the Centennial was
throughout attended by all the pomp
and circumstance that the rurul facil-
tiles would allow. The houses of
every one of the inhabitants were
decorated with flags and bunting,
while innumerable arches of ever
green and laurel were strung across
the three or four streets of the town
at pleasing intervals.
The celebration. despite the for.
bidding weather, must have been
very gratifying to the originatOrs OF
the idea. Numerous bands, both
martial and brass, were in attend
ance and furnished music almost con.
tinuously during the day. The band
contest was very enjoyable feature
of the day. The University Cadets
added to the racket by firing numer-
Gus sslutes, and they also added ma
terially to the parade with their fine
marching, appearance and cannon
The parade and other interesting fea'
lures and observances served to make
the time pass pleasantly until the
time for carrying out the regular ex'
ercises arrived. Hon. w. p. Wiley
of the University. delivered the adj
dress of welcome. Mr.. w. T, Barb
