The tomb weighs little less than 200
tons, and 7. B. Calm the mover, was
under $4,000 bonds to perform the
work satisfactorily, which meant that
the tomb must be intact when it reached
its destination The tomb travelled
northward along three heavy timber
rails. It rested on big wooden cross
pieces, and was propelled by means of
jackscrews at a speed of less than foot
an hour The former position of the
tomb was nine feet below the surface of
the permanent concrete foundation for
the monument. 1t took until Thursday
to raise it to the level of the surface, and
then its journey northward began.
The concrete foundation for the mon
ument is to be 107 feet square. It will
be composed of four piers twenty feet
deep. The removal Of tlte tomb was
necessary at this time to permit of the
building of the fourth pier at the south
east corner. When the foundation is
finished it will contain 1900 yards of
concrete. and will have cost about $780,
600. The surface of the foundation is
1870 feet above tidewater The top of
the monument will be 1850 feet above
that, The foundation will be completed
in a few weeks. Work upon the super
structure will not begin until next
spring.

A Churohgoing Grasshopper.

Some little amusement was created in
one of the leading Presbyterian churches
of this city by the antics of a grasshopper,
which rode triumphantly into church
perched upon the shoulder of staid and
worthy member. AS the gentleman sat
down the insect, to avoid being crushed,
hoped up nearer his coat collar, and at
once engaged the attention of two little
girls who were sitting in the pew behind,
and who found the hopper infinitely more
lively than anything from the pulpit.

Making Pictures.

"My sister learned to make pictures, too,
when she was to Brooklyn" said the
daughter of a Long Island farmer, floating
out in loose Mother Hubbard gown and
sunbonnet to inspect the work of one of
Mr., C--'s "plein air" students, "but she
doesn't do them like you bit; it's ever so
much quicker, Why, she jest lays paper
on anything and smears it off with wet
rag and there it is all done in colors, and
it's real beautiful. And you kin tell just
what it is too" she added, looking at the
"impressionist" style of the sketch with
evident disfavor, while the amused artist
realized that the fair Phyllis was describ-
ing decalcomania.
Another good lady who took inn, board
ers, and who with her daughter cooked
and waited at table and did the rooms of a
dozen or more of "city folk" said sympa-
thetically to an enthusiastic young artist,

The GynsV Nation

There is no stranger phenomenon in his
tory than the origin, growth and migra-
ton of this wild race of unsettled people.
Races of people have often been broken up
and scattered over the earth by wars,
famine and other disasters, but in the
course of time they have lost their national
identity in mingling with other people
There are several notable exceptions to
this rule, and one of the greatest is that of
the dispersion and wandering of the gypsy
nation. For nearly 500 years the gypsies
have spread over Europe, living migra-
tory life, suffering persecution and death,
and through it all preserving their original
habits and national identity. 1t is believed
now that there are one million and half
in Europe, and nearly half as many more
in Canada, South America, United States
and Australia.-New York Epoch

UnboIted FIOur.

Chemists and the manufacturers of the
new processes of bolted -four are always at
war. The latter are doing their best to
furnish us with fine white -four, but they
do so at the expense of health. The flour is
bolted so much that nearly all the nutritive
value is taken from it and cast away to the
swine. The gluten and starch and all the
nutritive substance left, and that which
makes bone and tissue, is wasted in the
process. Brown bread is far superior to
the white, and it should be given to chill
dren, especially in their growing age. 1t
gives the needed phosphate to the teeth
and bones, prevents dyspepsia and regu-
lates the brain and blood.
Mothers that are nursing children would
give to their young better bones, teeth,
muscle and blood if they would make it a
practice to eat only brown bread. One soon
gets to loving this article of diet better
than the excessively white bread which
Americans eat in such quantities. -Yan-

Feeling Their Oats.

New YORK, Nov. 2.-The expectation
of oats to Europe has been very heavy
this fall, and it is thought that it will
exceed that of 1899, when nearly 2O,O0O,-
600 bushels were sent abroad. Charters
We're made In this city last Wednesday
for ships to take out 100000 bushels,
the greater part by Counselman & Com.
pany, who have hired eighteen vessels.
Other houses are also doing large bust
ness. The heavy expectation is due to
the short crop in Europe. 1t is stated in
private cable dispatches recently received
in this city that Russia, from which
country England draws a large part of
her supply of oats, will prohibit the ex-
port of her cereals. If such action is
taken the price of oats and wheat will
advance considerably in this country
and the expectation will be largely in
creased

biinister Phelps Takes "a Peculiar Plan to
Introduce Them Into Germany.
BERLIN, Nov. Minister Phelps has
taken q peculiar and highly original
way of introducing American meats and
the great American staple, Indian corn,
to the attention Of the Berliners and of
Germany generally. He gave dinner
Saturday to number Of German nota-
bilities and their wives, including DIR.
Miguel, minister Of finance; DIR, DeBoet-
ticher, secretary of the interior, and a
number Of other leading men of the
empire and Of Prussia.
The banquet included all the Injuries
OF the season, and was of the highest
order III every respect, but chief and
peerless among the dainties, from an
American point of view, was the bacon
and cornbread from America. Mr.
Phelps evidently has the benefit of a
cook who cannot be surpassed in Vir-
ginia in the art of making cornbread
toothsome, and all the German guests
united in praise of the article as present.
ed on Mr. Phelps table,
DIR. Miguel made some earnest re-
marks in praise Of both the bacon and
the cornbread, and said that hereafter
cornbread would be included among the
supplies from his personal table. What
is more important was the statement
that the German duties on Indian corn
would soon be removed and American
cornbread fed to the German army, thus
rendering Germany independent Of Rus
sian rye.
Amy action of this kind would need
action ON the part of the reichstag,
which meets on the nth inst, and in
which the question of commercial treat
les and the removal of duties will no
doubt be discussed with considerable i'll
terest and animOsity.

of the Gulf stream, though at certain
places it attains a speed of fifty-four miles
per hour; in the Yucatan channel, for an
instance, where it is ninety miles wide and
1000 fathoms deep, the current is not over
