AN OPEN QUESTION.
Is Harrison Descendant of Pocahonta sr

1t is popularity believed that President
Harrison is descended from Pocahontas
and from the Parliamentary soldier and
regcide, General Thomas Harrison, who
was executed i'll 1860.
PocahOntas, daughter OF Powhatan,
manifested tyiendliness for the early
white settlers OF Virginia when she was
but a girl. The story Of how she saved
the life OF Captain John Smith, who had
been captured and condemned to death
by her father-how she, on several &C.
casions, made known to the settlers their
danger when about to be attacked--is
well known to all acquainted with the
early history OF America. Her subse-
luent marriage with John Rolfe, an
Englishman-her removal to England
where a son was born, from whom nu-
merous wealthy families Of Virginia claim
.descent-is the basis of the opinion that
| President Harrison is one OF her descen-
dants.
| Whether this be true or not it is, how
ever. well-know that President Harrison
is a descendant Of noted family distin-
guished alike in peace and war. The
name of Harrison is already indelibly
written upon the pages OF American his
tory. for General VIM. Henry Harrison
the ninth President of the United States
was the grandfather of Gen. Ben. Har-
rison.
The election of another member OF the
Harrison family is but another proof OF
the prevailing disposition OF the pubic to
return to healthy administration OF pub
lie affairs 30 characteristic OF the earlier
years of government A similar desire
has been manifested for a revival OF early
manners and customs in many various
WAYS. of which mention in particular can
be made of the prevailing demand for
those old-time preparations which were
30 successfully employed in the proven
tion and cure of the ills and ailments
which frequented the early log-cabin
homes.
After much inquiry and research a
noted manufacturer has procured the
original methods used in their prepare
ton and again under the name OF War
ner's Log Cabin Remedies, the public is
possessed of those well-known prepare
lions for the cure OF coughs, colds, con
sumption in its early stages, blood dis
orders, catarrh, dyspepsia, debility, anc
other common disorders.
Notwithstanding the large amount O
time, attention and expense which the
manufacturer of Warmers Safe Cure de
mands--rts well known reputation as the
only remedy for the prevention and CURE
of kidney diseases being world wide-tht
manufacturer is resolved to push thu
merit of Warmers Log Cabin Sarsapa
r liza to the front because OF its splendid
blood purifying properties and grea
value as household remedy and spring
time system renovator.
Pocahontos, during her lifelong friend
ship for the white settlers of Virginia
! besides her many acts of kindness, i
said to have contributed much valuable
! information to the log cabin home con
; corning the successful methods employed
J by the Indians in the treatment OF dis
, ease and it matters little whether the al
legged relationship between herself ant

5 OF Pocahontas is already immort"

CIGAR-STUMP EXCHANGE.

Resort of All Sorts OF Curious Characters in
the French Capital.
The ancient Place Maubert in Paris is
the resort of more curious characters than
any other place in the world On the
steps which lead from it to the Boulevard
St. German the Partisan cigar-stump ex-
change meets every pleasant afternoon .
All members of the exchange bring their
wares to these meetings in paper boxes.
There Is no dealing in futures. Each
broker sells only the cigar ends actually
III his possession. The buyers on this eX-
change are wholesalers and retailers. The
wholesalers bid in all the stumps they can
get for about a franc pound clean them ;,
cut them up fine, and sell the product in
packages with fancy covers as smuggIed
tobacco for or 4 francs pound. The
government tobacco of similar quality
costs between and 6 francs pound.
The retail buyers purchase only two or
three pounds of stumps at Il time FOR their
own consumption.
The prices on the tobacco stump ex-
change vary of course, as on other ex-
changes, according to the relations of
supply and demand. IN winter, when
fewer persons smoke in the street, fewer
stumps are found in the cutters
and :. brought to the exchange and
the sellers get 10 or 10 per cent.
more for their stumps than they get in
the summer, when the boulevaTds and
squares are crowded sNitA smokers. The
sellers who gather at theN2Iace Maubert
exchange every afternoon represent, ac-
cording to the Partisan police, some
1900 professional gathereTs of cigar
stUmps in the city. Many of these gath
erers have in their employ walters ana
scavengers OF various kinds, who deliver
to them at low prices ali the stumps they
find in alleys, cuspidores and ash-re-
ceivers..
Not far from,the cigar stump exchange
issSthe so-called Academy Sylvan. In
>fhis academy stEeet;i musicians re-
ceive a liberal education,in their business.
Students are graduated after receiving
ten music lessons at an expense OF -
CentimeS a lesson. Boys and girls who
have no voices are taught how to strum
the guitar or mandolin. A few of the
Academy Sylvan S graduates have risen
TO the variety stage and concert saloon.
y few steps from the academy is CeleSti
MaTiOtti's school for sOothsayers, for
tune tellers ana iugglers with cards, who
frequent all fairs, festivals and caTni-
walls on the continent.
The Place Maubert is also the most
popular rendezvous of the ragmen OF
Paris. The shops in Its vicinity sell very
miserable articles at marveIOusly low
prices. At some of them q very bad
suit of clothes and a pair of shoes can be
bought for 10 or u francs.

and white stockings are worn by two
thirds of the English women of all classes
to-day, the cost of washing notwith-
standing.
The barelimbed lassies of Scotland
and Ireland have attracted the eye of
every American tourist. In the former
case the custom, which prevails chiefly
in the rural district, is largely dictated
by the practice prevalent among Scotch
women of washing heavy articles by
treading them in a tub with their feet,
and perhaps also for convenience of ford
ing the burns or brooks in the mountain
Gus sections. AS to the Irish "colleeu !, -
stockings have been deemed a superfluity
for century past, as every contemporary
historian has taken special pains to re-
cord. They might have added that the
average Irish lassie, stockings or no
stockings, is the. most virtuous girl on
the face of the earth.

color has been found near the mouth.
The latest discovery of gold quartz is on
the island of Unga. The precious met
ais, however, are not Alaska s sole MN

on the Chilkat river. In fact, there are
evidences of coal on many parts of the
coast, but only two mines are at present
in operation, one being in the artic at
Cape Iisburn Years ago Professor
Davidson of the coast survey discovered
coal which peTvades an entire range of
hills, the very dust Of which adheres to
the magnet. These hills extend thirty
miles along the east bank of the Chilkat
river. That there is copper in Alaska
no observer can doubt. One hundred
years ago Capt. Dixon wrote Of large cir
cular wTeaths of copper both at Norfolk
sound (now Sitka) and Queen Charlotte s
island, twisted into that shape by the
natives themselves, who wore them as
ornaments about their necks. Copper
river is so called because of the metal
found there that resembles the copper of
Lake Superior. The Thlinkets possessed
the art of forging this copper long before
the advent of Europeans. Nor is lead

ATTICA'S SLEEPING BEAUTY.
Her Maps Dwindle from a Month to Eighteen
Hours.
New York World


Hours.
New York World.
ATTICA, \. Y. July l9.-The wonder
full frances of Mrs. Emma Althouse. At
tica s sleeping beauty, have practically
come to an end, and now she only takes
a nap of eighteen hours at a time every
two DAYS, the trance periods having
steadily diminished during the last three
months. She Is now able to partake Of
nourishment in minute quantities, can
whisper to her sisters and slightly move
her limbs. If her condition continues to
improve her parents think that she will
be able to get up in a couple of months.
When Mrs. Althouse first went to bed
she weighed 200 pounds, and now, after
the lapse of two years, she weighs only
about one hundred pounds. Doctors
have been unable to agree as to the exact
nature of her allment, and when she was
expected 10 die last winter medical col
Iege professors were planning to get
her body to solve the mystery
of her case. MIR. Toms, the wo-
man 5 father, who is a bricklayer,
believes that the cure Is being made By
nature He has little faith in doctors or
medicines. No visitors have been ad-
mitted to the sick room since the last
attempt to poison the helpless sleeper
was made. Her longest trance was
tbirty-five DAYS, and several averaged
from twelve 10 twenty-four days. Dur
ing some of these sleeps it is claimed she
had second sight.
