their credit in New York, to be used by the
Western Bank in drawing New York

1t has been great mystery to man,

1t has been a great mystery to many
persons why the dark, rich-colored
wood so much used for furniture should
be called rosewood" Its deep-tinted,
ruddy-streaked surface certainly does
not resemble the rose, so we must seek
some other reason for the name. Here
it is: When the tree is first cut, the
fresh wood exha les very strong, rose
like fragrance, which soon passes away,
leaving no trace of the peculiar odor.
There are several varieties of rosewood
trees; the best, however, are those
found in South America and the East
Indies, and neighboring islands.

HOW BIG CANADA Is.

Apropos of the talk about the annexation
of Canada, q matter that now seems to be
gaining favor with prominent statesmen,
but in favor of which it is not apparent there
is much Canadian and English sentiment,
the New York World has advanced TO the
point Of looking up how many States it
would make, and publishes q map With Cam
ada divided up into twenty. eight new States
and Territories. Seven provinces are pre-
sented IS States, which would add II new
Senators and 50 new Representatives under
the present ~apportionment. In an interview
with Erastus Wiman, an enthusiastic Cana
dian of New York, who is in favor of com
mercisl union, but not of annexation, a
reporter told him of the proposed scheme,
which called out the following response,
suggesting something of the size of Canada
which is not familisrly kept in mind by the
most of Americans:
"You Americans seem to think that all
you have to do when you al Canada is to
take it. If, IS you said, Canada were an
nexed to the United States, l could not tell
what States or Territories might be made
out of 1t, nor conld any man. Such matters
generally depend upon the circumstances of
the case. So far IS regards its size and pros.
poets, / will say that it is much larger thar
the United States, and has millions of acres
of the finest land awaiting the pioneer. The
area Of Canada is $3.50, 900 square miles, aud
that Of the United States, excluding Alaska,
100000 square miles. Take the province
of Ontario alone. 1t is larger than the States
Of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Michigan by
10000 square miles; larger than Iowa, Min.
nesots and Wisconsin by II 900 square miles;
larger than the six new England States with
New York, New Jersey, 1'ennsylvsnia and
Maryland by $4,000 square miles, and larger
than Great Britain and Roland by $4,000
square miles. Ontario, ID short, is only
1900 square miles less | n area than the
French Republic, and only 5000 less than
the German Empire. It is pne of the most
fertile countries in the world"

BURIAL OF MRS. SHERMAN,


ST. LOUIS, Dec. 1.-At an early hour this
morning the friends of the late Mrs. General
Sherman began to assemble at the Union
depot to receive the funeral party. The
train entered the depot At 7:45. The special
Car was detached, and friends of the family

remained until the time for the funeral cor.
tege to move. The pall-bearers we're Major

ings at the hearse when the coffin was placed
therein. The funeral party entered carriages
at the entrance Of the depot, and the cortege
proceeded to St. Xavier's church. At the
church the casket was borne to the altar,
where q bier, with candelabras at the head
and foot, had been placed to receive it. The
church was crowded. When the family and
relatives were seated, Rev. Father Prongeest
began the celebration of mass. In accord
ance with the request Of deceased, the cele.
bration of mass was followed by the simple
service Of the dead. No sermon was
preached. The music was the ordinary
accompaniment for such a service. At the
conclusion of the brief services the casket
was returned to the hearse, and the cortege
proceeded to Calvary cemetery, where the
services at the grave were brief and simple.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 1.-The so-called
split in the Grand Army of the Republic,
which originated here, continues the upper
most theme in veteran circles and with the
local press. That the movement has been
greatly exaggerated by the Eastern press is
admitted on all sides here. Colonel Walker,
assistant adjutant general Of the g. A. R.,
department of Indiana, has sent the follow
ing statement to the Associated Press: ~
want here to protest against the statements
and interviews published, especially in the
eastern press, about the detection among the
comrades of the G. A. r. in this department.
Nothing of the kind has occurred, and the
membership was never more united aud en-.
thusiastic in their support of the order than
now. A handful of disappointed, chronic
Office seekers here have succeeded In getting
themselves advertised through the country,
have no standing, nor never had, In the G.
A. R., or out of it, for that matter. The
whole business has been engineered by q
half a dozen %chronics, and At no meeting
have they been able to secure the attendance
of fifty persons, and not to exceed half these
have ever been members of the G. A. r.
No Democrat Of standing or influence in
this community, who is = member of the G.
A. R., can be found opposing the order. On
the contrary, scores of comrades of that
political faith have personally and by letter
denounced the attempt of these small fry
politicians. The department of Indiana is
