Mr. DlnSman remarked that they could not
stop that. 1t had, he said. been done in every
city where the encampment has been held.
GENERAL DISCUSSION.
There was general discussion Of tho hotel
question. The Grand Army men present raid
it was not expected that every man vino came
would have room to himself; they expected to
sleep several in room.
Maj. McElroy referred to experiences at
former encampments and suggested that it
would be Of great value to have the committee
on accommodations prepare a circular giving
specific information as to rates. SO that u man
who wanted to come would know exactly what
it would cost him.
Mr.. Dipgman said that the committees who
had been here to arrange for quarters had
expressed themselves as perfectly satisfied with
the rates they had made and the accommoda-
tons they had secured.
Col Wright said the hotels here would ac-
commodate only a small portion OF those who
were coming. In October they could care for
three times Is many people - in March; still,
at the last Inauguration, his committee had on
| its books accommodations for 70 900 more peo-
pie than they had to provide Tor. Then those

cars to Georgetown, MI Pleasant and Capitol
Hill, they could greatly extend the circle and
provide convenient quarters for many thou
sands more.
Maj McElroy said many Of the veterans COM
| ing were here ~ boys during the var and had
the impression that the people Of Washington
wanted to make all they gould on them.

Brave Mother.

As showing the force of maternal love
among the lower animals, there are few
m re pathetic incidents than the follow
ing, which comes from Australia:
The owner of country station was
sitting one evening on the balcony out
side his house, when he was surprised
to notice a kangaroo lingering about
alternately approaching and retiring
from the house. as though half in doubt
and fear what to do. At length she ap.
preached the water pals, and, taking a
young one from her pouch, held it to
the water to drink.
While her baby was satisfying its
thirst the mother was quivering all over
with excitement, for she was only a few
feet from the balcony, on which one Of
her great foes was sitting, watching her.
The litde one having finished drinking, it
was replaced in the pouch, and the old
kangaroo started of at a rapid pace
When the natural timidity of the
kangaroo is taken into account, it will
be recognized what astonishing bravery
this affectionate mother betrayed. Il is
a Pleasing ending TO the story that the
eve itness was so affected by the scene
that from that time forward he could
never shoot a kangaroo.

life Of Bank Prosldent Williams.
Forty years ago, one pleasant sum-
mer day, a good deacon from Norwalk,
Conn, drove into the city Of New York
Ia an old fashioned one horse shay He
brought with him his son, mere boz
of 19 or 10, then for the first time to
experience the vicissitudes of life in a

what became Of that boy 2" inquired
Mr. j. s. Gaffney, of New York, super
iutendent Of agencies for the United
States Life Insurance Company, the
other day.
"Wel, 1 viii tell you. To-day that
youth is president of the Chemical
National Bank Of New York city, the
most solid and substantial banking insti-
tuition in the country. His name is
George Williams, and he has been con-
nected with that bank in some capacity
from the day he first entered the doors
with his father 40 years ago until the
present Such a record here in America,
where every thing is shifting and chang
ing, is worth more than a passing mem
ton.
"The Chemical National Bank is the
bank in which the wealthy New York
ers, the Astors, the Vanderbilts, the
Goulds. and many others who care more
for security than interest make their
large deposits. ] myself have seen a
check for s., 10000 in favor Of JAY
Gould drawn on the Chemical National
Bank. The stock Is limited to $500, 600.
but the property Of the bank mdeptnd-
ent of the name, is worth $40, 600, 000

worth S., 200 at least, and it is almost
imposs Bile to get one Of them at any

banks rise and fall, but this bank seems
TO have caught glimpses of immortality,
if this phrase can-b be used in speaking
of a bank.
"The brains Of this bank, the man who
has made it what it is to a large degree
is George Williams. His record is one
to be envied. He has made money him

times over in the commercial agencies.
But he can command tens of millions OF
dollars. lie is regarded as one of the
best among living financiers. If you
can get his Endorsement to any prof C,
you can get any amount of money that
you need in New York, Go to your
Kansas City bankers or any bank on
either side of the water and whisper the
magic name of George Williams to them
and it will cause the sesame to open
their vaults and let out their millions
Too often the worth, the merit, the work
Of men like George Williams is forgotten

always in hurry, but once in a while

Devil Dance In Africa.

A fantastic orgy was witnessed at
Loongl, the capital of Bullom, west
coast of Africa, by a party of officers
from the West India regiment quartered
at Sierra Leone. The people of Loongi
are Mohammedan, but the dancing devil
himself is relic of not long departed
Paganism, and so also probably is the
dance itself. 1t takes place in the court
yard of the chiefs premises, which is
entered through a circular hut The
scene which presents itself to any one
coming suddenly out of the darkness
into the noise and glare is decidedly un-
canny, In the center of a circle which
fills the courtyard. the devil, with an
orthodox tail, great crocodile's head
and long grass, looking like hair, de-
pending from his body and legs and
swaying as he moves, leaps beating
time with his feet to the beat of the
drums, while the women, two deep.
wall chant, and strike their palms to.
gether in slow, rhythmical measure,
those in the front row bowling down be-
tween each beat.
The young men, in long robes and
caps, wall with the women. Both are
under VOWS, the dance being one of their
rites. They look dazed to begin with,
but gradually work themselves into a
frenzy; and the black faces, the mo-
notonous wailing cry, the thumming of
the drums, the rattle of the clackers,
and the beat of the DEVILS feet as he
springs up, crouches down, and swings
about, makes a scene to shock the quiet
moon and stars and gladden. Gehenna.
North of Sierra Leone, Africa is Mo.
hammedani south, pagan, and the south
ern people have this devil When peace
is declared between two native tribes
the peace devil, who is fetish, comes
leaping into the town; but if he STUN
bles or falls it is considered bad omen
and he is put to death for his pains
His dress is sacred, but his person is of
no consequence.

"There is only one way to put saddle
on horse, " says Colonel Kearney. 81
learned it when 1 was a member Of the
Texas rangers. It's little thing, but
it is worth knowing. l used to put my
blanket on and it would look smooth
and nice. Then l would put the saddle
on and mount After riding a few
miles l would find the saddle slipping
further and further back and would
find it necessary finally to dismount and
ciuoh up again. One day a cowboy
said: let me fix that saddle for you.
got off and he put the blanket on just
as l had done, and then the saddle.
Then he put his hands under the saddle
and blanket, lifted them up, and let
them settle back into place 1 found
that when this was done the saddle
would stick for a forty mile ride. -

One Of the most interesting country
places in Maine is that of Mr. Mark
Gray, of West freeman, who has been
50 successful in raising bees that he
made S327 90 from them last year A
correspondent gives a description OF his
apiary, which has been arranged with
remarkable painstaklng and is a verita-
BILE curiosity All the hives are painted
and striped in different combinations,
no two alike, Mr., Gray makes his hives
himself, having built small shop aud
miniature sawmill for this purpose. He
thinks the bees like to have their homes
attractive as well as human beings and
that they work better and are more con-
tented for having everything tidy
around them. They require but very
little attention. but anything out of
place they notice as quickly as a neat
housewife. II Lewiston Journal.

A Swiss electrician, Mr.. Paul Schof,
now Of Chicago, has adopted a service
able plan for making storage batteries
more portable by transforming the
liquid electrolyte into pasty, gelatin
Gus mass This is acc mplished by add
ing to the cell small quantity of sodium
silicate, which is decomposed by the
sulphuric acid, the silica being liberated
in the form Of translucent, firm, and
elastic jelly, This jelly is unattached
by sulphuic acid, Or by the more pow
erful oxidizing agents which come into
existence during the changing of the
cell.
The resistance of the cell is slightly
increased, and its capacity in Watt
hours is somewhat diminished by The
jelly. The best method of gelatinizing
the eleclrolyte is to add one volume of
sodium silicate of a density l. IS to three
volumes Of sulphuric acid of a density
1 20, allowing the mixture to stand for
"a hours. At the end of that time the
whole liquid is set to jelly During
the charging of the cell a small quantity
Of liquid rises to the surface of the Jelly,
but this disappears again during the
discharge

BRAVE Love
He'd nothing but his violin;
I'd nothing hut my song
But we were wed when skies were blue
And summer days were long;
And whom we rested by the hedge
The robins came and told
How they had dared TO WOO and win
When early spring was cold.
We sometimes supped on dewberries,
Or slept among Tho hay
But oft the farmers wives at eve
Came out to hear us play
The rare Old tuues-the dear old unesl -
We could not stRrve for long
While my man had his violin
And my sweet love song.
The world has aye gone well with US,
Old Nun, since we wore Onel-
Our homeless wandering down the lanes
H. long ago was done
But those who wait for gold or gear
For houses and for kline,
Till youths sweet spring grows brown ant
sere
And love and beauty pine,
Win never know the Joys of hearts
That met without fear
When you had but your violin
And / a song my dear.
