How IL Came that New York City was
Chosen Instead of Washington.

How IL Came that New York City was
Chosen Instead of Washington.
A Washington ID. c. dispatch to the
Indianapolis Journal says: A middle
aged gentleman, evidently man of
great intelligence and standing from New
York, was talking to a circle of friends in
the office OF the Ebbit late last night on
the subject Of the Grant monument.
Some of mis- Washington friends had been
chatting him over the slow progress his
city was making in raising the necessary
funds. He said:
II will tell you something about the
proposed monument which YOU probably
don't know, and VIII explain how Gen.
Grant came to be buried in New York In
stead of at the capital"
"What ia thatr eagerly inquired the
crowd around him.
cit is just this, my friends, and you can
rely upon its being strictly true. When
it was seen that the Generals days were
surely numbered the question OF burial
spot came to the front at once. Several
prominent New Workers bee" ne so ex-
cited on the subject that thes we're ready
TO do anything or promise anything to
nave the dead hero buried anywhere on
Manhattan island. An informal commit
tee OF these gentlemen went to the friends
not the relatives, remember-and as
sured them that if Gen. Grant should be
buried in New York enough money-eyen
up to 81, 600 000--would be raised to build
the granaest monument ever dedicated to
the memory of any man. Believing that
they could put the utmost faith in these
assurances, the ultimate friends of the
family counseled the relatives to permit
the burial to take place In New York CITY,
The counsel was accepted, and the old
hero now peacefully sleeps in Riverside
park. But now, see," continued the
speaker, las soon as the funeral was over
and the excitement died down, these very
promising gentlemen seemed to lose all
interest in the matter, and the subscrip-
tlons to the monument fund are lingering
and dragging along in way that should
mantle with the blush OF shame the cheek
of every man on Manhattan island. The
real true-blue friends Of Gen. Grant and
his family are justly indignant at this
shabby treatment"
In conclusion, the speaker predicted
that before five years elapsed the remains
would be transferred to this city, where a
monument to Gen. Grant will be built
which will be an honor to him and the
country he served so faithfully. And all
present expressed the belief that the
prediction would be verified to the very
letter,

At railroad town in Georgia there
was an old negro whose business was
to carry trunks from the depot to the
hotel. He always met Mr.. Stephens
and took charge of his baggage. The
negro had voted the Democratic tick

day Mr.. Stephens said to him:
"Joe, understand you always vote
the Democratic ticket"

old Joe's reply.
"Do you know Of any difference be-
tween the parties ?"
"Deed, an dat l don't"

Chewing Gum Advised.

Macon Telegraph.
"Thinness is physical characters
tic of Americans. | account for this
because of the fact that they are in a
new country to whose climate they
have not become used. Even thee
scendants of people who came to
America 200 years ago are not fully
acclimated. This is true, it matters
not to what country people may re-
move. Natural history has demon
strated that at least 800 years are re-
quired to acclimatize a nation that
has taken up its abode in anew coun-
try. Now, that thinness is a charac-
teristic of Americans, they ought to
use whatever will make them fat and
they ought not to use what will keep
them lean. The habit of chewing
gum causes certain juices which aid
digestion to flow freely, unmixed
with any injurious substance. The
habit of chewing tobacco also causes
these juices to flow freely, but the to-
bacco chewer either expels them
from his mouth or swallows them
mixed with the poisonous juice of the
weed. see you have your note
book out; just dot down this fact
Twenty years ago the rule was that
Southern women were thin and deli
cate; it is not the rule now. South
ern women are not physically equal
ed in all North America. Any ply
sician who is as well informed as he
ought to be will tell you that this is
true. This change is due to the hab'
it of chewing gum. You may smile
you may even laugh, if you please
but l am telling you plain fact. A:
to Southern men, they are as thir
and gaunt as they ever were, and sc
they will remain until they cease t.
chew tobacco and begin to chew
gum

Raise the Best.
Nashville Banner.

Nashville Banner.
The Knoxville Tribune thinks that
agricultural writers devote too much
time to telling farmers what to raise
and how to raise it, and not enough
to telling where and how to get rid
of it. In this agricultural writers act
with wisdom, for who has ever known
the best stock, the best fruit, the best
tobacco or the best of any other farm
product to want a market? A basket
of luscious peaches, large and fine,
will bring fancy price in a market
glutted with peaches. A well bred
Jersey cow, with record of twenty
pounds or over, would bring a fancy
price even though the State was
crowded with Jerseys. Raise the
best and markets will never be lack
ing. 1t is only inferior products that
go begging.

Bread Mixtures.

Even in the most ancient times
different foreign matters were mixed
with bread.
In Thracia, bread was mixed with
powdered dried roots, in Syria with
dried mulberries, in Egypt with
whole grains.
In modern times, in Sweden they
add to the bread powdered dried fish;
in Ireland and in Iceland, moss,
which besides being nutritious keeps
the bread from drying; in Prussia,
white clay, which contains alkali
salts and makes bread very light; in
Russia, powdered bark or finely
chopped straw. On western shore of
England certain kind of sea weed
(Porphyra laciniata) is gathered,
washed, boiled, and then baked with
oat meal -four.
In Africa, powdered dried locusts
are mixed with bread, in India pota-
toes and pea flour, and during the
famine even stones ground to fine
powder were used in the latter coun-
try.

Sunny Rooms Make Sunny Lives.

Let us take the ARREST, choicest,
and sunniest room in the house, says
the Home, for our living room-the
workshop where brain and body are
built up and rewarded; and there let
us have bay window, no matter
how plain in structure, through
which the good twin angels, sunlight
and pure air, can freely enter. This
window shall be the poem of the
house. 1t shall give freedom and
scope to sunsets, the tender green
and changing tints of spring, the
glow of summer, the pomp of au-
tumn, the white of winter, storm and
sunshine, glimmer and gloom all
these we can enjoy as we sit in our
sheltered room, as the changing years
roll on. Dark rooms bring depression
of spirits, imparting sense of con-
finement, of isolation, of powerless-
ness, which is chilling to energy and
vigOr, but in light is good cheer.
Even in gloomy house, where the
walls and and furniture are dingy
brown, you have but to take down
the dingy curtains, open wide the
windows, hang brackets on either
side, set fiow-pots on the brackets
and ivy in the pots, and let the
warm air stream in.

Slaughter of Carp.

Farmers Home Journal.
Mr.. Sam r. Alexander, of Barren
county, has a nice pond on his farm
in which was placed a few carp some
years back. They grew and increased
until the water was fairly alive with
fish from the minnow in size to six
and eight pounds. Recently he
wished to divide the pond and drove
stakes into the bottom and to these
nailed Stats above the water. In
a short time the dead carp COM
menced to rise to the surface and over
200 very large ones were taken out
and thrown away. They were killed
by the conclusion produced when the
Stats were nailed to the stakes. Let
this be warning to persons who
have fish ponds.

New and Old Seeds.

A writer in the London Garden, re-
ferring to the well-known fact that
new seeds usually terminate more
quickly than old ones, saysthat many
old ones will terminate well with
heat, that would perish in cold ground
"a fact which should be borne in
mind by those who are testing. seeds
this year in warm rooms. Among
those which may be kept two seasons
are named onions, satisfy and some
others, while lettuce, tomatoes and
artichokes will continue good three
seasons; cabbage, turnips, spinach,
kales, ETC., four seasons and melons,
cucumbers and beets, for five or six
seasons. 1t must, however, be borne
in mind that such rules as these are
more or less arbitrary, as much de-
ponds on the condition of the seeds
and the temperature and dampness
ofthe place where they are kept, and
on the condition of the soil which re-
ceives them, favorable influences
sometimes more than doubling their
keeping, and favOring or preventing
termination altogether.
Another good authority says
"Many vegetable seeds, properly
kept, are good to a green old age.
For instance, beet seed has been
found good at ten years; celery al

Flows Your Liver D.

In the comic opera of "The Moka-
do" his imperial highness says:
ITO make to some extent,
Each evil liver
A running river
OF harmless merriment."
A nObler task than making evil
livers rivers of harmless merriment
no person, king or layman, could
take upon himself. The liver among
the ancients was considered the source
of all a mans evil impulses, and the
CHANGES are ten to one today that if
ones liver is in an ugly condition of
discomfort, someone's head will be
mashed before night!
"How's your liver%" is equivalent
to the inquiry: Areyou a bear or an
angel today?
Nine-tenths of the "pure-cussed-
ness" the actions for divorce, the
curtain lectures, the family rows, not
to speak of murders, crimes and
other calamities are prompted by the
irritating effect of the inactivity of
the liver upon the brain. Fothergill,
hegreat specialist, says this and he
knows. He also knows that to pre-
vent such catastrophies nothing equals
Warner'ssafe curerenowned through
out the world, as a maker of
each evil liver
A running river
OF harmless merriment."

preparation Of 30 great value as AYERS CHERRY
