What Killed Alexandria, Va.

A visitor to Alexandria, a few days
since, was much impressed with the
loneliness of the place, and asked a
native what made the city so dead.
"You see them big factory buildings"
said the loquacious Virginian, "well,
thar was a company formed by some
Northerners to take them buildings,
fix 'em up in shape and run big cot
ton mill. They had the money to do
it. Them buildings had been idle for
years. They was put up befor' the

THE BURIED MOTHER.
BY ALICE BIEYNELL,

Out by the walls of Danish town
The graves stood cold as the night came down.
The Angelus prayer had long been said,
And the bell uOlled out the psalm for the dead.
It swung for a while from the darkening steeple.
"0ut OF the depths" said priest and people.
Through all the close-set town and towers
The doors were shut tor the silent hours.
ut a mother, buried for half a year,
Woke with crying in her ear.
She rose with the vague sleep still in her head,
And clad in the shroud that wraps the dead.
She left the cold graves under the walls,
And took the street to her husbands halls.
She felt her long dead bosom ache,
For her seven children were all awake;
And none had broken them bread that night,
Or poured them beer, or trimmed light.
And none had laid them pillow or sheet;
The dust of the day was on their feet.
Two strove for an empty cup, and one
Was cryng-that was her youngest son.
She washed and kissed them, and hushed their
cries;
While tears pressed out of her long dead eyes.
But their father, who lay on a lower floor,
Had heard her step in the corridor.
And he arose and came, and saw her stand
With the children cling to either hand.
She said, 1.-THE crying smote my heart.
1t broke my dreams of death apart.
81 was 10th to leave these seven. Idied.
But when have l slept when the child has crledH
Take note, ere pass to my many dead
Your children woke and had no bread,
mo fire no lamp; two were at strife;
One cried uncontrolled. Tell your wife"

County, Oregon, states that the Mon
golian pheasants which were turned
loose in that section have wonderfully
multiplied. Scores of half-f1edged
pheasants of this breed are seen al
most every day scurrying about over
the Albany prairie. These are the
birds which were brought from China
by Mr.. Denny, formerly United States
consul there.
A FARMER living near town tells OF a
lively fight between bull and big
dog, both of which belong to him. He
says the dog got the bull by the ear,
when the latter raised his head and
ran straight through a very strong
take-and-ridered rail-fence. The rails
flew in every direction, and the dog
had several bones broken. He was
glad to let the bull alone and quit the
field. Washington Gazette.
HEREAFTER, in France, when num-
Der of stamps are to be affixed to a
letter, they must not be placed close
together, but with space between
them. The reason is that ifa consider
able portion of theenvelope is covered
with stamps tits easy for dishonest
person to remove them, open the en-
velOpe under them, abstract the con-
tents of the letter, and paste them on
again. Many bank notes have been
stolen in this way.
GOOD plaster casts are little appre-
! ciated in the ordinary household. AS
| far as art goes, a perfect cast may be
made as satisfactory an ornamental
ton as an original piece Of work, and
sometimes more SO. Artists fully ap-
preciate this, and you will see their
studies often filled with them. The
| glaring dead Wilderness of the plaster
is repulsive. Take some boiled oil or
some drying oil and cover the surface,
| let it dry partly and rub the cast With
the palm of the hand. This will give
it q yellow glossy surface and make it
resemble fine old bit OF ivory.
THE one mitigating circumstance
about hard times and low wages is the
increased purchasing power of a dollar.
The Boston Commercial Bulletin has
been figuring on the subject, and comes
| to the conclusion that 81 will buy as
much Of the necessaries OF life to-day
as S1.35 in 1875, 80 in 1855, 81
cents in 1916, and $1.19 in 1925. In
other words, the purchasing power of
a dollar is 10 per cent. greater than
it was in 1925. and 80 per cent. great
er than it was in 1855. A dollar will
buy more to-day than in, most pre-
vious periods in the history Of the
nation.--LoweH glass; Courier.
We were shown yesterday a triple
gold wedding ring which has an inter
esting history. The first ring was
made by Mr.. c. Gennet, the jeweler of
this city, for Jacob Ezekiel, on the
occasion of his marriage to Miss Cath
crime de Castro Myers, June 10, 1885.
When the twain celebrated their silver
wedding in 1860, Mr.. Gennet added or
welded another ring on to the first
one, and now the two have been sent
to Richmond from Cincinnati, where
Mr.. Ezekiel resides, for Mr.. Gennet to
attach the third ring to the others for
the golden wedding, which is to be Gel
ebrated in a few days.-Richmond

Culture and Happiness.
From the Boston Traveller I


Now life is not only what we make
it, but it is, very largely, what we
think it is. live hold before ourselves
constantly, some dreary "might have
been;" if we think it is, in some unex-
plainable way, finer and more exalted
to set ourselves to a minor key of some
miserere, we may become in reality
very unhappy. There is no law, un-
fortunately, against people making
themselves wretched. Schopenhauer's
theory is that culture tends to I'M
happiness; that the more cultivated
is an individual the more sensitive is
he to physical discomfort or mental
troubles, and that he is thereby a
being formed to be Jared upon at every
turn. 1t is very possible that the old
adage about a little learning applies
to this case. A superficial culture
doubtless increases ones sensibilities
in various ways without producing a
corresponding increase OF resources;
but the deeper culture supplies these
and enables it's possessor to bear a
thousand trials or to discover means
to surmount them as may be, of which
the more ignorant individual would
never have dreamed.
