Soueherners Like New York.

Southerners take to New York more
than to any other city north of Mason
and Dixon's line. They are at home there
whether as visitors or residents. When
the close of the war found thousands of
southern men penniless, and without any
method of earning living in the devas-
tated south, many of them came to New
York.
At every considerable social gathering
in New York one is almost sure to find
several distinguished xConfederates.
The southerner in New York retains
much of the provincialism and clannish-
ness with which he is created, but in
spite of this he is adaptable, more so, prob
ably, than the New Highlander. His happy
go lucky temper fits in well with the reck'
lessness of the city and his suavity Of
manner vastly smoothes the rough places
of business life. 1t is noticeable, too
that the southerner seldom falls into the
social vice of snobbishness. Cor. Pitts

purges the blood. Celery acts admir-

Tomatoes act upon the liver. Beets

Lettuce and cucumbers are cooling in

the Number of Our Aucestors.

To one who has not thought upon the
subject, it is quite inconceivable how
rapidly persons lineal ancestors null
tiply every generation he carries back
the calculation. If one is asked how
many great great-grandfather he had,
he will, in all likelihood answer: 1.-TWO"
while in reality he had eight, If there
have been no intermarriages of rela-
tions among his ancestors. In fact, the
number of male ancestors doubles
every generation. Thus, every one has
had two grandfathers, four great-grand-
fathers, eight neutrality-suspicious.,
sixteen neutrality-suspicious.;
and fifteen generations back, he had no
less than sixteen thousand three hun
dred and eighty-four hneal male an
cestors. IN. Y. Ledger.
