JelEerson's Living Granddaughter.

In Georgetown, D. c., in an humble
cottage which rents for $50 a month,
lives the only surviving grandchild of
Thomas jefferson. Her name is Mrs.
Septimia Randolph Meikleham, widow
of David S. Meikleham, long since dead
She is now in her seventy-sixth year, a
cultured, amiable venerable old lady,
with two daughters and one son in her
household. A luxuriant growth of curly
siIvery white hair surrounds her face,
which bears a striking resemblance to
her illustrious grandfather. Her descent
from him is direct and clear. Born Jan.
3, 1914, under her grandfather's roof at
Monticello, Va, she is the daughter of
Jefferson's favorite child and house
keeper, Martha, who married Thomas
Mann Randolph, Jr., afterward Gov
ernor of Virginia, by whom she bore
twelve children, all OF whom are dead
except the eleventh child and seventh
daughter, the present Mrs Meikleham,
the only living representative of Jeffer-
son of two removes since her sister, Vir-
ginia jefferson Randolph Trist, died in
1882. Mrs. Meikleham is infrm by
reason of advanced age. Her son, a man
of artistic temperament, now in middle
life, earns scarcely enough for self-sup-
port. OF her two daughters, both of
whom are middle aged, the younger, Miss
Esther A. Meikleham, born while her
parents were sojourning in Scotland, Is
employed in the Patent Office as a clerk
at a salary of $1,000 a year, while the
other has charge of the housekeeping.
Repeated attempts by influential legisla-
tors TO secure for Mrs. Meikleham a mod
crate pension have resulted only in fail
ure In the Forty-seventh and Forty
eighth Congresses, Representative W. E
Robinson, of New York, introduced a
bill to pay her $4,000 a year, subsequent
ly reduced to $500. Congress, how
ever, refused to pass the measure on the
ground that its enactment would set
precedent for other claims less
meritorious for civil pensions. - Men

He Looked Rather BIue.

Over on Desplaines street is a well-to-
do retail grocer who came here from
Germany some years ago and has grown
up with the city. Along in the early
70s there was a popular dve house Rext
door TO MS grocery store, and in the
back yard were a number Of dye watts and
great tank in which the dyer jealousy
guarded good supply of soft rain
water, in which he rinsed out the gar
ments sent to him to be cleansed. For
many weeks the German grocer had had
his eye on this rain water tank, and had
thought how delicious would be a bath
in its cool depths. One warm, moon
light midsummer night the grocer looked
from an upper window into the dyer's
back yard and the CLINT of the noon
beams on the rain water tempted him
sorely. Along about midnight, without
saying a word to any one, the German
sneaked out of his back door, soap and
towel in hand, cautiously scaled the
fence and gained the dyer's yard. In
the shadow of the rain water tank he
disrobed, and then he vaulted into the
pellucid water. The sensation was
delicious.
The sly German splashed around in the
water, lathering himself thoroughly with
the soap, and chuckled TO think of the
CONSERVATION of his neighbor, the dyer,
when he found his rainwater full OF
soapsuds the following morning. After
a while he hoped out, rubbed himself
dry with his towel, jumped into his
clothes, and climbed over into his own
yard He went into the house, and, as
he entered his wife's room, she screamed
and called for the police. He looked
surprised and asked what she was yelling
about. She recognized his voice and
asked where on earth he had been. He
grinned and told her. Then she asked
him to look in the glass. When he did
so he fell back in establishment. He
was darkly, deeply, beautifully blue;
even to his blonde whiskers and hair.
The adventurous German disrobed and /
the dyer was summoned. He howled /
when he saw the grocer, and explained /
that he had put blue dye in the rain
water tank that afternoon. Chemicals
were used on the unfortunate grocer for
hours, but to this day blue spots can be
found all over him.-Ch Chicago Herald.

TWO PER CENT. ON so. 900.

About a week ago Detroit real estate
dealer became very tired and had the fol
lowing sign printed and posted on his
door:
mo tramps need apply"
"No money to lend.
"Haven't a postage stamp to spare"
"No matches supplied"
eve have had the grippe"
'Have seen a dozen such winters.
''We are not in to bores."
eve have no railroad pass
"We don't want to invest in mines"
''No corns to be pared off"
''No stationery wanted"
"We don't sign any bonds"
".Don't want any life insurance"
''Interviewers will please keep out.
The sign had been up a day or so when
an old man opened the door very care
fully and walked in, and after bit OBJ
served:
'Tve been reading your sign out here"
"Then profit by it" was the brusque
reply.
He shut the door and went away, and
half day later that sign came, down.
The old man had $40, 600 worth of land
to sell, and he called upon another dealer
and left his memoranda, with the remark
that man who was so mighty exclusive
as that could never get get near enough
to the public to sell anything.-Detr0h

Surprising a Senator.

David Lewsley was at one time report
er for a Washington journal, and in that
capacity was sent to interview Senator
Ingalls, upon an important matter of
state. The Senator, who had no inten-
ton whatever of being drawn into a con-
versation on that subject, met Mr.. Lewis
ley with his accustomed grace, and
courteously veered the conversation into
other channels. Somehow, for want of
another handy subject, the Senator said
something about boards, which led to
BARRIERS, and, of course, to the general
subject of shaving.
''By all means, f" said Senator Ingalls,,
''you should learn to shave yourself, "ano
then he went on with learned, thought
full and highly entertaining disquisition
or the advantages, economic and meta
physic, of shaving ones self rather than
hiring a barber to do It. 8lr. Lewsley
paid careful attention to all the Senator
said, fixed facts and dates in his mind,
and said nothing. When the Senator
had related Enthusiastically his own
varied experience with razors and
brushes and soaps, recommending this
make of blade and that brand of latheI to
Mr.. Lewsley's use, the reporter, con-
WINGED that he could not learn what he
had come to learn, arose to 90. There
was, or the reporter imagined that there
was, a sort of merry triumphant twinkle
in Senator Ingalls's eye as he politely
bowed his caller from the room-a wink
which seemed to say: 81 have made that
young man really forget what he came
for.
The next morning Senator ingalls, was
more or less korrifed at finding in the
fOcar newspaper a true report 1f.sif ne !
had said, including the earnest recon-
mendation of a certain shaving soap,
which he unqualifedly pronounced the
very best that could be had But the re-
porter's vengeance was not vet satisfied.
He marked the article and sent it to the
of the recommended soap.
In a fortnight the newspapers, the pc
riodicals and all the many means en-
ployed by advertisers were brought into
use, and Senator Ingalls's eloquent eulo-
gy Of that soap was printed in every
form that could be devised to attract
popular attention. And the worst of it
was the Senator could not deny that the
very expressions, earnest and glowing as
they were, were all his own. Boston Post.

The Misnnderstood Elenhant.

have found among the memoirs of
the actor Charles Young, published by
his son, the Rev. Julius Young, an anec-
dote which well illustrates the sagacity
and affecuouate sensibility of these huge
pachyderns The newspapers had an
nounced the arrival in England Of the
largest elephant that had ever been seen.
Henry Harris, the manager of the Gov
ent Garden Theatre, at once purchased
Chuug-that was the animals name-for
exhibition in u pantomime entitled
Harlequin, which he had mounted
very extensively. Harris paid 800 gum
cas- for the beast. Mrs. Henry johnson
was to ride it, and Miss Parker was to
act as Columbine But at the general re-
hearsal, when Chung reached bridge
over a cascade which he was expected to
cross, he refused to step upon it, dis
trusting its solidity, and not without
reason. In vain the angry keeper pun
ished HIM by prieEdng him behind the
ear with an iron goad. With lowered
eyes and pendant cars the enormous ami
NAL stood in a pool of blood, motionless
as a wall.
The Captain of the vessel which had
brought Chung over came in during the
contest between the man and the ele-
plant. He had become fond of the
beast, and often fed it with dainties.
The animal had scarcely recognized its
friend when it approached him with sup
picating air, gently took his hand in its
trunk and placed it in the bleeding
wound, then held the hand up to the
Captains eyes. The gesture said Us clear
lyas words: ''See how they have made me
suffer" Poor Chung appeared so IN
happy that everyone was touched, even
the cruel keeper. To win pardon the
man ran out and bought some apples,
which he offered to the elephant But
Chung disdainfully threw them away
The Captain, who had also fetched some
fruit from Covent Garden Market, came
back Immediately afterward and held it
out to Chung. He willingly rccepted it,
and after eating it, cooled his trunk gen
tly round his protectors waist.

The Cholera at Bagdad.

For several months past a violent
cholera epidemic has ragged in and around
Bagdad, Arabia. Herr Somekh, head
master of the school of the Israelite Al
lance in that city, describes the fright
full state of things there in a report to tae
Alliance thus: ''As soon as it became
known that the terrible disease was the
cholera everybody tried to escape from
the infection as quickly as possible. The
panic was indescribable. Within two
days two-thirds of the Hebrews had left
the city, fleeing at random and settling
in the first village they could find. The
Christians did the same, and the AIahom-
medans, despite their well-known fatal
ism, could not escape the general panic,
sought safety in fight. The city pre-
sents disconsolate aspect; the streets are
empty, one dares not venture out; the
only thing to be seen is the endless row
of hearses, which the paid drivers accom-
panF to the cemetery. One sees neither
tears nor other signs Of grief. Cruel, in
exorable death has quenched the source
of tears; the people have lost almost all
feeling. Our fellow-believers have suf-
fered proportionately more than the
rest of the population. Death has pur-
rued them everywhere, and has ragged ter
sibly among them. There is not fam
lily that has not to lament the death of
one of its members. The rich, as well as
the poor, have been terribly tried, and
many of the dead had to lie for days I'M
buried IN the fields because there was no.
body to bury them. At this moment
20, 900 Hebrews are camping out in a
mere desert some hours walk from the
city, scorched by tropical sun, in want
of the means of life, harassed by robbers,
boys and girls stolen from them-never,
in short, has an already very unhappy
population suffered such misery before.
In the city the sick die for want of care,
and numerous families have gone for
whole days without food. The poor,
who no longer knew to whom to turn,
have died literally of hunger" This
heart-rending report has been completely
confirmed in answer to inquiries in the
most competent quarter, with the addi-
ton that the epidemic, which had
abated little toward the end of Octo-
Der, was raging again with renewed
fury.-L0HdOn Lancet.

The MaekereI Industry.

The habits Of fish, says the san Fran
cisco Chronicle, are not perfectly known
to naturalists. For instance they have
never been able to determine where the
mackerel passes the winter. Some writers
have asserted that it goes, as soon as the
cold weather commences, to the coast
of Greenland, enters the bays, and
plunging its head into the mud, remains
in that position, with tail in the air, till
revivifed by the spring sunshine. Then
it goes south seeking spawning grounds.
following the coasts of Europe and
America, especially the latter, guided
probably by the Gulf stream. Arriving
on the coast of Europe the schools
separate, swarming about the coasts of
Great Britain and Norway. entering the
Baltic or seeking the bays of the French
coast. In France it is usually caught by
trailing hooks or drifting nets. When
fresh, it IS the favorite fish after the
sole, and certain other kinds that are
less common. Being found everywhere
in the north of France inabundance and
ut a low price il the spring, and being
by no means rare thenceforward till the
first of the following January, it is in less
repute among the rich on this account.
and even among those ofmoderate means
stales by repetition. The fishermen of
the Norman and Breton coasts cross into
the Irish sea in search Of this precious
fish. Salt mackerel is held in a certain
estimation by Americans. At Diepne
and Fecamp, in France, the mackerei is
prepared with oil in manner thai
renders it almost as delicate as the
sardine. From its intestines the ancient
Romans prepared brine, of bad odor.
naturally, and of taste that moderns
would find absolutely disgusting, which,
nevertheless, they held in high esteem.
