MIR. Alcott's grave is in Sleepy
Hollow Cemetery, at Concord, between
the graves of Thoreau and Emerson,
and not far from that of Hawthorne.
His oldest and only surviving daughter
is Mrs. Pratt, who has two sons. His

Oscar Wilde and his wife are a
very ordinary-looking pair or mortals,

He has grown so stout as to be abso-

reasonably demand that the wife of
the Apostle of the Sunfower should be.
w. r. Hughes, of Manchester,
Eng. has in his house dickens

no less than eighteen editions of Pick

George H. Boxer, the poet, has a
most luxurious library in his house in
Philadelphia, but when he wants per-
feet retirement he seeks the seclusion
of little room at the top of his house,
where no one may penetrate. MIR.
Boxer does most of his writing on a
lap tablet on his knee, and uses lead
pencil for his first draughts. He has
another little room in his house fitted
up as work shop, and there he has
lathe and other tools. and there he
works in metal. with results that a
skilled artisan might envy 1t is his
boast that should necessity compel
him, he could earn good living as a
metal-worker.

THE COUNTRY'S SAGES.

Very Few OF Them Come from the Large
Cities Of the East or West.
The great cities of this country have
never furnished the wise. reflective
and pcnetrative craftsmanship which
has made this Nation great and pros
porous and guided it into safe and sal
utary ways. The average reader of
the able and enterprising journals
that reflect public sentiment in the
centers of population throughout the
State will doubtless smite at this asser-
ton, for tendency has grown up of
late to sheer at the class of men who
have been dubbed as crossroads pol
iticians," '.rural sages" and 'turnip
representatives"
Look back for century through the
records of the Continental Congress,
the National Constitutional conven-
ton, the war for independence, and
the latter years of the country's life.
How many statesmen pre-eminent in
ability and magnificent in their at
tainments and su ccess have the popu-
lous cities given to this land? Of the
great soldiers whose names are men,
orized in stored marble or massive
bronze, and held cherished in the he ARTS
of millions of their countrymen, how
many came from the crowded centers
of populationP You can count them
almost on your fingers.
San Francisco. Philadelphia, Chicago,
New Orleans and Brooklyn have not a
single name on the roll of their history
that could lay claim to great states
manship. Philadelphia is old enough
TO have sent forth at least one man
fully equipped in all that goes to make
up leader of men. Yet all she can
truly lay claim to is sort of half inter-
est in Ben Franklin, and notvery well
founded claim that Henry Clay and a
dozen other renowned men have oc-
casionally bought their clothes there.
Even Sam Randall does not belong to
her. for ne lives on farm twenty
miles out of that city.
New York City has not had much to
boast Of Alexander Hamilton. whom
most people imagine was native of the
town, was born in the West In dies, and
Burr and Livingston would about CON-
pletc her list. The present generation
of statesmen has no very great names
to add to New York's roll. Sam Cox,
one of the conspicuous figures on the
floor of the House of Representatives,
belongs to her only by right of adop.
ton, and is an original Ohio ruralist.
Boston gave the country Charles
Sumner and shared with Philadelphia
the credit of producing and maintain

think that all people Of common sense
are getting over the idea of making
men out of women. The aim hereafter
will be to let women make women Of
themselves. Women will at her best

Man must so live that woman ut her
highest shall honor him; and woman
so live that man at his highest shall
turn joyously to her. Miss Abigail

so great. no peasant so lowly, that he
has not been glad to lay his best Mt the

Bob Burdette Discovers Him on West
ern Railway Train.
The meanest man in all this land of
United America, went down from Lin
coin, Neb into Kansas, the other day.
Mind you, he wasn't Nebraskan; he
was an Interstate immigrant coming
from somewhere east of the Mississippi.
At Wymore there is a merchant who
carries his stock in o. basket, and he is
famous all that land over for his pop
corn. Five cents package" That
was too much. He didn't want any,
After the merchant left the car, the
mean man said 81 want some o that
ere popcorn, but l kin git it cheap
err N that" Presently he went out
on the platform and said to the
dealer in the fruit that cheers but
not ine-hic-briates: "Say, mister, l
want some of that popcorn, but
l hain't got o'ny three cents. Now,
if you kin femme have a paper of it
for three cents all right; but l KANT
give no more fur it, because l hain't
got o'ny that much money" Well,
after some dickering the merchant
finally let him have a paper of pop
corn for three cents, and the mean
man came in the car, sat down beside
his wife and little child. and began
munching his popcorn. Never a crumb
did he offer to anybody. He was just
ENJOYING it. He said: Il have enough
money to buy his whole basketful. but
Iknowed l could git some fur less'n
five cents" As he munched his faith
er-in-law and wife seemed to under
stand that they were not in on that
treat, but the child began l. reach up
its little dimpled hands and in the
sweetest childish accents beg for some
popcorn. Save TO hold the package
up out of reach of the pleading
little hands the mean man paid not
the slightest attention to the ba-
BY, but kept on eating. Present.

The average child, returning from
school, on entering the house calls:
Mammal" The mother, perhaps. re-
plies: "Yes!" where are your" is
the next question. and the reply in
forms the child not only as to the floor,
but as to the room in which the mother
can be found. The child can not de-
termine its mothers location by the
sound of her voice. This exaggerated
instance may be owing to the reflection
of the sound, not only from the walls,
but from the strata of air differing in
temperature and humidity.
How many of us going to the next
street. running at right angles to the
car-tracks, can tell, from hearing the
bell of the approaching street-car be-
fore the car comes in sight whether
that car is going north or southP 1t
does not seem that animals can deter

better than man. The sleeping dog.

abroad as to his masters location. and
determines it by sight or SCENT or
both, frequently running in several
different directions before hitting the
right one. The deer, on being startled
