How Greeley Slept and Reported a Ser

There was something very curious
about Greeley. 1t was not sleep that
overcame, him, but only somp9lenoe-
sleep of the physical powers, bat wake
fulness ofthe mind. The physi0loglst
and the psychologist may settle the
matter scientifically between them if
they can. His eyes might close, his
great head fall upon his breast, but his
mental or interior faculties were some
times so.far awake that when the SER
viceowas over he could give clear &C
count of, the sermon, both as to subject,
planand matter
Iwent,with him to hear discourse
from the Rev. William Henry Chan
ming .ItNwas Sunday morning, and the
topicannounced was one in which he
felt,a, special interest.
On the way thither Mr.. Greeley
begged me to keep him awake. We oc-
cupied a settee within six feet of the
platform and right under the eye of
the preacher. / tried to keep him
awake by frequent tuggings at his ell
bow and playing by no means soft tat
too upon his ribs. But it was of no
use. He was "nidnodding" through
the whole discourse, not little to Mr..
ChanninGSs annoyance, who observed
my unsuccessful efforts to keep his
great auditor awake.
But now comes the wonderful part of
my story. Mr.. Greeley and /, when
the service was over, went back to the
Tribune Office together. He sat down
at his desk at, once, and made an alb
stract of Mr.. Channing's discourse, fill
ing somewhat less than column. Mr..
Charming was utterly amazed when he
saw it; and asked me if il was possible
Mr.. Greeley had made the report.
When / told him that / saw him while
he was preparing it, and / had myself
read the proof, he expressed the great
est astonlshment. "Why," said he, II
could not mFself have made so accurate
an abstract OF my own discourse, which,
though premeditated, was extemporane-
GUS. He has not only given the sub
stance of what said. but he has fol-
lowed my line of thought, and remem-
bered not a little of my language. -

AIIsnice and Cloves.

The home of the allspice tree is
especially Jamaica. The tree is beau
tiful evergreen. The flowers are small,
and do not make much display. In
Jamaica the tree grows without any
care; but the fruit is worth so much
that the planters give more attention
to this crop than to any other. The
berries must be picked before they are
ripe, or they lose their pleasant flavor.
One hundred and fifty pounds of the
fruit are sometimes gathered from one
tree. The crops are uncertain. 1t is
only once in five years that it is abun-
dant.
The Glove tree is a native of the
Molucca Islands. 1t is said to be the
most beautiful, elegant and precious of
all trees. 1t is conical in form, and
lives from one hundred to two hundred
years. The spice is not the fruit, as is
generally believed, but it is the bios
SONS, that are gathered before they un-
fold. About q dozen of these bios
SONS form cluster at the end of each
branch and twig of tree. Gloves are
gathered in December, and dried
quickly in the shade.
In the year 1921 the Molucca Islands
were inhabited by a great number OF
people who were industrious, enter.
prising and happy. They devoted most
of their time to the cultivation of the
clover tree. Cloves were carried to al
parts of the civilized world from these
islands. At this time the Spaniards
and Portuguese came and took the first
ship load of cloves to Europe. About
one hundred years later the Dutch
drove away the Spaniards and Port
uguese. They also sent ships to these
beautiful islands and destroyed every
Glove tree. Any of the natives who
dared to set out Glove tree was put to
death. The natives all died or were
carried away as slaves. Then, to raise
the price of cloves, the Dutch burned
part of the crop every year. These
annual burnings continued until as late
as 1924. Anon.

An Arctic Appetite.

If intensity of appetite is the meas
ure of the pain suffered by persons who
are starving to death, it would seem
that to die in the arctic regions is a
much greater agony than to die in the
tropics, for cold sharpens hunger.
Lieut.. Greely says that his party had
ferOcious appetites during all the long
sojourn in the north, each man eating
with relish three meals of animal food
and tvo lunches every day, and craving
fat, though not to the extent some
arctic travellers report. As means to
fortify the system against cold or brace
it up for forced marches, whisky, rum,
and other alcoholic stimulants were re-
garded as of little benefit.

Descended I'm Three Generations from the
Five Great Race DivisSons.
Smith cambridge, who is one of the
best-known and most highly respected
colored citizens of Akron, Ohio, was
born in slavery at Martinsburg, Va, in
l841. Mrs. cambridge, whose maiden
name was Margaret Kaponia Maquet,
was born in the Village of Move, on
one of the Sandwich or Hawaiian
Islands, in the year 1S4s. The history
of each prior to their meeting and mar
riage partakes of the nature of ro-
nance. Mrs. Dandridge's father,
Charles Maquet, was native of the
Island of st. Helena, and during his
childhood days had often seen Napoleon
Bonaparte during the closing days of
that celebrated Corsican's Punishment.
Early in life Maquet grew weary of his
native island, and ON board a whaling
vessel that touched at st. Helena he
sailed away. He left the ship at Move,
the Sandwich Islands port already
named. Soon after his arrival there
he married the daughter of a native
mother and Chinese father. Their
only child was Margaret, and the
Malay -Mongolian mother died when
she was vet an infant She was given
by her father to an American lady,
Mrs. Levers, wife of wealthy lum-
herman and sugar planter then resid-
ing there. Mrs. Levers returned to
the United States in 1865 and brought
her Sandwich Islands protege-then
almost a woman-with her. Meanwhile
cambridge, In whose veins coursed
some Caucasian blood, had worn the
CALLING bonds of slavery until he was
u. Then, in 1862, he ran away from
his master to join the Union army
while it was passing Martinsburg. In
that section of the Union forces was
the regiment of Col. Buckley, and to
ut the colored fugitive attached himself.
The same year the Colonel paid visit
to his home in Akron, and brought
cambridge with him. Here he worked
two years upon the farm of A. B. Mat
thews, who also owned another farm at
West Middleton, Pa, and is now a
wealthy Western cattle owner. In
1865 cambridge was sent by Ma: news
to act as overseer on the Pennsy gania
farm, where Mrs. Levers, sis ter to
Matthews, together with Margaret Ka-
ponia Maquet, the Sandwich Islands
girl, was then stopping for a time.
The friendship which naturally fol-
lowed the meeting of cambridge and
the latter soon ripened into love,
though born at points almost antipodal
upon the ear.h's geography. They
were welded in 1866 and soon after
wentito Akron. They have three chill

VIII a Southern Man Lie?

John Locker lives in Fayette County,
this State, at present, but he was raised
In North Carolina, where he spent
most of his life. He is about sixty
years of age and is bearded like Rus
sian bear, with scarcely silver thread
discernible. His eyes are small and
black, and when he talks to you he
gives you the impression that he sus-
spects you are doubling his word, and
wants to beat the liver out of you for it.
His stories of experience in "Caro-
line," however, are not all as tough
as the one following, which, by the way,
he swears is as true as the Bible.

How to Tell a Tornado.

A Western man who has lived anone
tornadoes all his life, who was raised
with them, as it were, says that it ID
easy to distinguish tornado from an
ordinary blow. A cyclone or tornado
north of the equator always comes from
the southwest Its first appearance is
that of local cloud. 1t always comes
when the temperature is low. 1t is
nothing more than an electric storm.
The earth refuses to receive the cleo
tricity that is constantly being gener-
ated, and it accumulates in mass.
When the cloud extends from one side
of the horizon to the other, there is no
danger of a cyclone. atlanta Consti-

Never Omen Your Mouth

except TO put something to eat into It, is an
excellent motto for the gossip and the suf-
ferer from catarrh. But while the gossip is
practically incurable, there is no excuse for
any ones suffering longer from catarrh.
DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy is an unfailng
cure for that offensive disease. 1t heals the
diseased membrane, and removes the dull
and depressed sensations which always at
tend catarrh. A short trial of this valuable
preparation will make the sufferer feel like
