An Anecdote of Benjamin West.

When Benjamin West, the great American artist-born in Pennsylvania in 173S-was little boy, one of his school fellows tempted him to holiday from trap and ball by promising him a ride to neighboring plantation. Here is the horse bridled and saddled," said his friend, "so come get up behind me" Behind your cried Benjamin. "I will sit behind nobody" "Oh, very well, :" replied the other, "I will ride behind you; so mount" He mounted accord ingly, and away they rode. "This is the last ride shall have for some time," said his companion. Tomorrow l am to be apprenticed to tailor" "A tailor" exclaimed Benjamin; "you will surely never be tailor!" "Indeed l shall, !" continued the boy; "it is a very good trade. What do you intend to be, Ben- jamin" "A painter" What sort of trade is thatY' "A painter" said the Quaker boy proudly, "is the companion of kings and emperors." "Now you must be surely mad" said the embry- onic clothier; "there are neither kings nor emperors in America" Aye" said young West, "but there are plenty in other parts of the world. And do you really intend to be tailorT' "Indeed do. "Then you may ride alone" cried the future president of the National Academy of Great Britain. "I will not ride with any one willing to be tailor" New York Press.

Always Dying.

Life indeed consists in a series of changes of tissue, and the human econ omy is simply, as far as its material part is concerned, a machine, and primarily depends on food as the most important factor in keeping it in working order When it is said that we commence to die as soon as we are born, it of course means that certain parts of the body i'm mediately begin to perish; their exist ence is ephemeral; they come and go, are replenished and decay. They are the dying parts of that system of life, which may last little while, but which must eventually yield to the memorable law of nature. The nails, the hair, etc., are observable as an instance of this de- cay. The same rule applies to every other organ and tissue of the body, though it is not palpable to the naked eye. The skin is always peeling. The food that is taken in the one hour nourishes the system, and ejects that which was taken the hour before.- Gentleman's Magazine

by the citizens committee of Washing ton, The officers found it of great ad- vantage to meet with the Grand Army, and the benefits thus derived in adver- tising the order were such that they propose to meet at Indianapolis next year in conjunction with the veterans.
 Miss Nellie A. King, who was chosen national president at Washington, was born in the cradle of the order, Massil- lon, where she is teacher in the public schools. She is twenty-one years old and is charter member of Mrs. Major Mckinley tent. She was elected na- tional vice president last year, and her universal popularity is attested by the fact that her recent nomination was en- tirely the work of the Massachusetts delegation, and her election was made unanimous by her fellow delegates. She is an enthusiastic worker and her capa- bility is unquestioned. Her father, now deceased, was Valentine R. King, an honorably discharged member of the One Hundred and Seventh Ohio Volun- teer infantry.
 The captain who was placed in com mand of the national bark when it was first launched was Miss M. Estella Me Milan. She also is engaged in educa- tional work in Massillon, and she was largely instrumental in the formation of the national department. Her reward was the first presidency of the order, and last year she acted as treasurer. She possesses a wonderful capacity for work, and has much executive ability.
 Another national officer, the secretary, Miss Bertha Martin, resides in the same city. She is a charter member of Tent No. 1, and besides her national position is the present mastering officer of Ohio. She is an earnest and prominent worker in the order, and has always been iden- tifed with its more important measures.
 The reports of the last convention show a membership of 1 400, with tents in twenty states. Fifteen hundred dol lars were expended for charity last year, besides $700 for flowers for veterans graves. The Daughters are by no means an aggressive organization, their prin-

ognition an association known as The National Alliance of the Daughters of Veterans of the United States of America. As its name suggests, this body is kindred to the G. A. R. This order has heretofore been but little known to the general public, and but for the fortunate decision of its officers to hold their third annual convention in conjunction with the G. A. R. encamp- ment it would perhaps have remained in the darkness of semiobscurity.
 The National alliance is the outgrowth of society organized seven years since in this city, and the formation of that society was suggested by the daughter of veteran soldier, partly through a good natured desire to rival the efforts of the local Sons of Veterans camp. This suggestion, made on Memorial Day, 1885, was acted upon, and six days later the first meeting was held.
 A permanent local organization was effected on June 10, and on Dec. 12 of the same year the secretary of state of Ohio granted the society charter. The name of the wife of Ohio's present gov ernor was chosen as title, and it is re- lated of the apostle of protection that one of the few occasions on which he has exhibited signs of deep emotion in public was when informed by delega- ton of Daughters that their tent had been named Mrs. Major Mckinley tent, Daughters of Veterans. Miss Minnie F. King, a sister of the present national executive, and who died on May IS, 1891, was the first president of the original tent, and the other members were Nellie King, Bertha Martin, Harriet Knapp, Olive Howald, Levo and Maude Stevens, Name Huber, Maude Merrill, Frank, Eva and Bertha Merwin, May Bowman and May McMillan.
 The little tent fourished under care ful guidance, and it's influence soon be- came manifest in the outside world. In 1887 the Daughters issued charter to a branch in Alliance, O. The newcomers adopted the name of Mrs. John A. Lo- gan tent, No. 9. The honor was wisely bestowed, for their namesake has since hno"h hoh eppioCidIioh uy inuuIueldulo sets of kindness toward the tent. The following year Prairie Depot, O., and Quincy, nls.--the latter named Caro- line Scott Harrison tent-were char tered, and Ada, O., followed in 1889. When in the latter year an application came from Keokuk, Ia., the necessity of creating a national association became obvious, and the original charter of Tent No. was so amended as to adapt it for such requirements.
 A national constitution was adopted, and Miss Nj. Estella McMillan, of Mas dillon, O., was chosen president at the first national convention held at Quincy, Ills, in June, 1890. Only Ohio, Illinois and Iowa, comprising 194 members, were represented at the meeting. The framers nf this constitution were the Misses Mol

A cOLoRED BOY CHOIR.
Very Melodious One in surplices at St.
 Philips Church.

A Very Melodious One in surplices at St.
 Philips Church.
 New York boasts of the largest sur pliced colored boy choir in the United States, and, so far as is known, in the world. Such choirs are not numerous, and are to be found only in large cities. There are two in New York-one belong. ing to Roman Catholic and the other to Protestant Episcopal church. The latter Is the one here meant, and as the music of the Episcopal is so different from that of the Roman Catholic church no comparison between the two can be drawn.
 St. Philips church in West Twenty fifth street, between Sixth and Seventh avenues, is one of the oldest colored congregations in America. The present building is an ordinary affair of brick and was once used by Methodists. Up to few months ago the music at St. Philips was furnished by an ordinary mixed choir of colored singers. Some months before Easter it was decided to change to boy choir, such as are to be found in Trinity, St. Agnes, St. An drews' and other more or less "high" churches in the city. The present or ganist, MT. E. B. Kinney, was engaged to organize the choir, and the first serv- ices under the new order of things were heard on Easter Sunday. MT. Kinney, bnrparar fn,,nI lao ,F tion difficult one. He discovered that, so far as the constant desire to have fun and play pranks with one another was concerned, there was not much differ ence between colored and white boys. And as the choir consisted of thirty boys, in addition to twenty men, he had to keep his eyes open. In time the youngsters began to submit fairly we'll to discipline and are now quite tracta- ble. Of course there was no trouble with the men.
 The colored race is essentially musical, both in ear and voice, and this fact has caused the choir of St. Philips to be reckoned among the best boy choirs in the city. Once the youngsters are in- terested they enter upon the work with an earnestness that would put many a white boy tos the blush. In the choir there are several remarkably good so- prano voices. Two little colored chaps. Prentice Hutchinson and Howard Brax- ton, are regarded as especially fine, and to them most of the solos are given. The ages of the boys range from nine to six teen years.
 Mir. Kinney says that as far as he knows he is the only white person con nected with the church, though the rector, the Rev. H. c. Bishop, is ire quently assisted by white ministers. St. Philips church is interesting for other things than its choir. It has very valuable chalice cup, made of gold, which has been insured for $4,000. It is studded with diamonds, pearls, rubies and other precious stones. There is a legend that two of the diamonds, each worth $700, were found in the bottom of trunk belonging to one of the women members of the church and were
