TILDEN'S LAST DAYS.
How the " Sage of Greystone" Spent the
Declining Years of His Life.

How the " Sage of Greystone" Spent tho
Declining Years of His Life.
Mr.. Tilden's last years have been
spent chiefly at Greystone park, his
beautiful country home. 1t lies on the
right bank of the Hudson in the town.
ship of Yonkers, Yew York. 1t is $50
feet above the level of the Hudson river
at high water. and slopes in six natural
terraces down to the waters edge.
The house is a beautiful one, contain
ing grand staircases and Railways and
spacious rooms of different descrip-
tons. In every niche and corner of
Mr.. Tilden's rooms are crowded book
cases full of rare and valuable works
on various subjects. Mr.. Tilden has
usually awaked at 4:3O o'clock a. m.
An electric bell at once summoned his
valet, who gave his medicine, which he
took as regularly as he did his food.
Then he would lie still, but not doing,
until about eight o'clock, when he
arose. At nine o'clock he was assisted
downstairs to breakfast, which ordi-
narily consisted of milk and some rich
broth. Paralysis made it necessary for
some one to feed him, and this duty
was performed by his faithful compan-
ion, Miss Anna Gould, the sister of the
wife of the dead statesman's brother
Henry. At breakfast the morning pa
pers were read to him. Although very
feeble physically, Mr.. Tilden's mind
was vigorous to the last, and he often
surprised his friends by the thorough
ness of detail with which he directed
the business of his estate. His memory
was marvelously retentivc. Some
times in fine weather his condition adj
mitted of his taking walks and drives.
Mr.. Tilden was very fond of the trees.
flowers and animals he raised on his
place. For five years he had been I'M
able to speak above whisper, owing
to paralysis of the vocal chords. He suf-
fered considerably from insomnia He
was fond of fiction, liking a love-story

MANAGING THE BABY.
How to Teach Infants to Go to Sleel
Without Being Rocked.

How to Teach Infants to Go to Sleep
Without Being Rocked.
The way to keep the oaby from be-
coming "spoilt'' is to let it cry as lit
tie as possible. 1t will gain strength
of mind to endure its necessary ills all
the sooner if allowed to suffer as little
as possible from ills that can be avoid
ed Its wants should be anticipated.
its sources of discomfort should be re-
moved as soon as they arise without
waiting for it to cry; it should be pre-
vented in every way from forming the
habit of crying. Study its expression;
when it is tired of playing on the floor,
take it up and dance it about the room,
and let it look out of the window for a
few minutes. In little while it will
be glad to 60 back and play on the
floor again. If it is necessary to resort
to discipline, be careful to seize the
right moment for it.
If you want the baby to learn to go
to sleep without being rocked. choose
day when it has been unusually
bright and happy all the morning. wait
until twenty minutes or so after the
regular hour for its nap, then give a
cup of milk particularly sweet and
warm and nice. make its little bed soft
and cosy, lay it down gently and
sOothe it with little kissing and pat
ting. and, if it is not already too much
spOilt, it will only be too happy to
close its eyes in the sweetest kind OF
sleep. If it does not. its fit of CRYING
will be as brief and as little injurious
as it can be.-Batyh0od.

Mining Machinery.

A young man went out from the
East to the Black Hills to invest in
mining property. On his return his
friends asked him about his purchase.
Il put $4,000 in a mine" he said,
''bought out the whole thing SO as to
have gold mine of my own. l got it
of some parties who wanted to sell
badly and put the price right down."
but won't the machinery you will
have to put in to develop it be very
expensive"
'.Not at all. 1 took a pick that cost
me Sl.75 and crawled down the shaft
and developed the whole lead in about
five minutes. You see they had sailed
it with $40 worth of gold. 1 am in
clIned to think, however. myself, that
the machinery it win be necessary
to put in to get out that $4,000 will be
somewhat expensive. "-Estelline Cd.
