Here is an essay on decoration
day by a little Philadelphia school
bow: Decoration day is for to decora
the soldier grave. Some year the
flowers are full and plenty, and
have great many buds ON. They
don't only have flowers, but have
ice-water and have lemonade to
comodate the people. In every
flower-pot they stick a flag in. After
the flowers are put on the soldier
grave, they shoot over the soldier
grave; they join them together, put
ting four together, and leave them
there till shoot again. Then they
go and get a drink and go in a sha-
DIV place and rest themselves"

The Cabinet in Session.

The President presides. seated at the
head of the long table, facing north;
on his right are seated the Secretary of
State, the Secretary of War, and POST
master-General; on his left are the
Secretary of the Treasury, the Secre-
tary of the Navy, and the Attorney
General; and opposite to him, at the
foot of the table, is the chair of the
Secretary of the Interior. The private
secretary occupies a seat at small
desk facing the southern window and
near the President. This arrangement
is not in accordance with the order of
precedence observed by Congress IN
establishing the Presidential success
sion. If the Attorney-General and
Secretary of the Navy should change
seats, bring the former fourth and the
latter sixth,-the rank alternating
across the table,-the order would be
strictly correct.
The sessions of the Cabinet are in
formal affairs. No persons except
those named are permitted to enter the
room during the councils, and no otfi-
cial record of the proceedings is kept.
The business done or discussed covers
all leading subjects belonging to the
various branches of administration on
which the President may desire infor-
nation or advice,-departmen reports
concerning special matters of import
ance, appointments to office, and ques-
tions of general administrative policy.

An Editors Life 1000 Years Hence.

This morning Mr.. Fritz Napoleon
Smith, editor Of the Earth Chronicle,
awoke in bad humor. His wife hav-
ing left for France eight days ago. he
was feeling disconsolate. In all the
ten years since their marriage this is
the first time that Mrs. Edith Smith,
the professional beauty, has been so
long absent from home; two or three
days usually suffice for her frequent
trips to Europe. The first thing that
Mr.. Smith does is to connect his phon-
otclephote, the wires of which COM
municate with his Paris mansion. The
telephote! Here is another of the great
triumphs of science in our time. The
transmission of speech is an old story;
the transmission of images by means
of sensitive mirrors connected by wires
is q thing but of yesterday. BY its aid
Smith was able distinctly to see his
wife, Notwithstanding the distance that
separated him from her. Mrs. Smith,
weary after the ball or the visit to the
theatre the preceding night. is still
abed, though it is near noontide at
Paris. She is asleep, her head sunk in
the lace-covered pillows. And now,
at the call of imperative duty, light
hearted he springs from his bed and
enters his mechanical dresser. Two
minutes later the machine deposited
him all dressed ut the threshold of his
office. The round of journalistic work
was now begun. First he enters the
hall of novel writers. In one corner is
a telephone, through which a hundred
Earth Chronicle littcrateurs in turn re-
count to the public in daily INSTALL
ments hundred novels. Addressing
one of these authors who was waiting
his turn: keep on, my dear Archi-
bald, keep onr' said he. "Since yes
terday, thanks to you there is gain
of 100000 subscribers.
Mr.. Smith continues his round and
enters the reporters hall. Here 1,500
reporters, in their respective places,
facing an equal number of telephones,
are communicating to the subscribers
the news of the world as gathered DUR
ing the night. Besides his telephone,
each reporter, as the reader is aware,
has in front of him a set of commuta-
tors, which enable him to communi-
cate with any desired telephone line.
Thus the subscribers not only hear the
news but see the occurrences. When
an incident is described that is already
past, photographs of its main features
are transmitted with the narrative.
And there is no confusion withal.
The reporters items, just like the stories
and all the other component parts of the
journal, are classified automatically &C
cording to an ingenious system and
reach the hearer in due succession
Furthermore, the hearers are free tt
listen only to what specially concern:
them. They may at pleasure give at
tention to one editor and refuse it t.
another-Jnles Verne IN Forum.

One More Line.

Congressman Frank T. Shaw was
sitting in his room yesterday busily
answering letters and inquiries from
his constituents. He was interrupted
by one of the colored walters of the
hotel. He came in timidly, and after
considerable preliminaries the waiter
finally told the doctor that he wanted
to write letter to young lady in st.
Mary's and wouldn't he please write it
for him.
DIR. Shaw is eminently philanthro-
pist. He put aside mass of letters
and, after getting all the necessary
data from the waiter, wrote out the
letter. Into it he breathed tender de-
votion and coy love, aud when at last
he signed the walters name lie felt
conscious that he had written letter
that he might in other days have been
proud of.
He gave it to the eager lover. The
waiter read it over Then said he:
"Would you add one more line, please,
doctorP"
Certainly" said the good-natured
member.

DIR. Shrady's Present!

DR.. George F. Shrady of New York
City. during one of his frequent "runs"
to Ulster county, says the Kingston
IN. W Freeman, related a pathetic
little incident that came under his
knowledge year or so ago. The doc
tor was in the country enjoying a rest.
During a ramble one day he noticed
sickl A-looking boy of about years of
age resting by the roadside. Near the
child and gazing tenderly at him was
"Granny." The child touched his cap
politely to the doctor, and the little
wan face lit up at few kindly re-
marks that were made by the stranger.
A day or two afterward the doctor was
told that an old lady and II little boy
wished to see HIM. 81 could do moth
ing to stop his coming" exclaimed the
woman. ''He says over an over, ever
since the day he saw you, that you can
make him well an like other boys. He
gives me no peace night or day, an so
l have taken the liberty of bringing
him to you to cure"
1.-The faith of the old lady and her
little grandchild was so touching"
said the doctor, "that 1 resolved to do
my very best to effect cure, and in
time the youngster was running about,
strong and well as his companions"
Last Thanksgiving day a homemade
box was delivered bv express at DIR.
Shrady's home in New York City. The
box contained a turkey and a little
note. written in boyish hand, which
said:
Dear doctor this is from the boy
what you made well know the turkey
is young and tender for i raised him
from the egg myself"
Il have often received muniticent
fees from grateful patients that my
skill has helped relieve" said the doc
! tor, "but was never more touched by q
| gift in all my professional experience
than when that little country chaps tur
key in the rough little box with the
words expresses all pade' written or
every side, was delivered to me-"
