General Grants Name.

EDITOR CRITIC: To-day being the
day on which the remains of General
Grant will be consigned to their last
resting place, it may be of some inter
est to your readers to learn the derlva.
ton and meaning of the Generals
original name-Hiram Ulysses Grant.
Hiram Is from the Phnnician, and sig
mites "kingly;" Ulysses Is of Greek
derivation, and means 'valiant in war;"
Grant Is a pure Saxon word, and means
"gracious." So you will see that his
baptismal name was prediction OF his
future greatness. w. Il. S.

"Ford's Opera House was packed last

Affections to Which This GIand is Subiec,

This is Situated on both sides of the

two parts being joined by a so-called
isthmus just below adams apple" II
is relatively much larger in infants than
in adults. 1t averages about one and
half inches in length, and is about hall
as thick as long. 1t is larger in females
than males. 1t is sometimes wanting
and in the aged it sometimes wholly de-
generates.
While Ssecreting glands have ducts,
through which they empty their secre-
tons, either out of the body or into
some cavity within, the thyroid and
some others-the spleen, for instance
are d@ct5esS. They simply withdraw
some elements from the blood, effect
chemical change on them, and then
give them back, through the absorb
ents, into the circulation,
Among the affections to which these
glands are liable is g0iire, in which
they become enlarged. The enlarge
ment may be slight, or it may be so
great as to reach upward to the ears,
and extend down to the breast One
case is recorded in which it reached
below the thighs! In some parts of the
world the affection is quite rare; in
others quite common, though in the
latter it is largely confined to certain
districts.
In England its prevalence in Derby
shire has given it the name of the Der
byshire neck" 1t markedly connects
itself with some mountains, and yet it
occurs in some level tracts. 1t is gen
orally thought to be due to something
in the drinking water-some say mag
nesan limestone, but it is more prob
ably due to some metallic substance.
In many cases the gOitre may be
merely a deformity. In others it may
obstruct the breathing by pressing
against the windpipe; or may cause
headache, dizziness. fullness of the
head, singing in the ears, by hindering
the circulation in the vessels of the
neck; or it may interfere with swallow

SELLING FOR PROFIT.

The Hebrew Clothing Gentleman Who waA

There is Hebrew dealer in clothing
in Bloomington who has recently been
cured of selling goods for less thar
cost. During the very hot weather he
was visited by Wallace Backward who
wished to buy a seersucker coat and
vest.
"Dcre wash voust der ardicle you wash

Plain Black Dresses.

Mohair of demi-lustre, tamise cloth,
albatross cloth and black flannel are
used for plain dresses. These fabrics
cost from fifty cents to 81 yard double
width. The mohairs, al pacas and
brillantines have never been given up
by English women for useful mourning
dresses, as their smooth surface sheds
dust and is not injured by moisture.
The tailor styles so popular for winter
dresses are repeated in these service
able fabrics. and such a dress may be
worn in the house throughout the au-
tumn and winter. Tucked and pleated
waists that may be worn with or with
out a belt are especially liked for fam
nels and mohars, One pretty way to
make these is to let the fronts lap
plainly for about three inches, button
ing on the left side with small buttons
and holes, and have Il corresponding
row of buttons on the right side; then
lust beyond the buttons have three or
four small tucks athird of an inch wide,
and repeat the tucks down the middle

What is the price of fawed and off.
colored stones?"
That is rather hard conundrum tn
answer. There are so many pradua-
tons that each large parcel is taken on
its merits and disposed of at a sneciaI
price. If we have time to sort them
properly and can strike the right Gus
toners we can often make much larger
profits on these goods than on the finer
varieties. But it's a risky business az
after large shipment from Africa they
90 down with rush. | have sold stuff
as low as $3.50 a carat and up to S45.
Large stones, from four to ten carats
always fetch a fair price, as there is a
a class of people about who will buv a
big diamond even if it looks like a frac,
ment of q soda-water bottle All they
want is to wear a large genuine dia-
mond; the quality is quite matter of
indifference to them"
who are the largest buyers of this
class of goods?"
1--WE generally sell ours to pawnbrok-
ers and small dealers, who have them
set in handsome mountings, either alone
or in combination with fancy stones. fol
gamblers or the sporting trade, OF
where there is large parcel of almost
uniform size, say from one-quarter to
three-quarter carat, we sell them to
settlers, who mount them in common
gold in a snowy manner, sometimes
gross or more of one pattern, and.tbaV
are distributed broadcast thfo66ghbhta
the country and worked off at holiday
times. There is large profit in these
goods; they average from $50 to 20C
per cent. - CRjcaq0 Tribune.
