posing like things of air now n dozen

WHAT YOUR GRANDSON MAY SAY

Oh, grandma, is it really true
That men did oEce delight
To look ON girls as goddeGses
Who dwelt upon height?
Oh, did they really slave for them
And think it was but right?
Oh, had they no grievances
They organized to air?
Did they ne'er vow her tyranny
Was more than they could bear,
When women wore petticoat
And never cut her hair?
Oh, were men happy subjects once
OF an unconscious queen,
Ere yet the sea Of Progress came
'TwiXt them to intervene
That heavenly sea in which to-day
We watch her throne careen?
Was she a thing of beauty once,
Ere yet she did alright
\ wond'ring world by blazing out
In bloomcrettes bedight?
Ere Freedom in her books was made
Synonymous with Fight?
Oh. grandma, 7 was born too latei
4 lump comes in my throat
To thinll that divinity,
On whom all men might dote,
Died an unnatural death the day
That woman got vote.

GOLD BY THE HANDFUL.
But Clouds of Giant Mosquitoes Keep
Treasure Seekers at Bay.

Treasure Seekers at Bay,
Gold in plenty may be found in the
sands of the Volador River, stream
of moderate volume that comes tum-
bling from the snow line of the Sierra
de st. Martha, in South America. but,
though the loWland region and the riv-
er bed where the precious metal
abounds In fabulous quantities are cas-
lily accessible, the mosquitoes are so
thick and terrible there that all at
tempts to rife the sands of the gold
have so far failed.
Elisee Reclus, the celebrated French
geographer, was the discoverer of this
wonderful stream, whose waters sweep
over sands that are literally golden
lie told the news to the French Vice
Consul at Rio Hacha, and this official
obtained the concession of this Edo
RADIO.
He took with him when he set out
an ingeniously constructed gauze tent
of large dimensions. For two days he
tried to live under its shelter and watch
the operations of his workmen, who
toiled in the sitting heat, clothed in
thick garments and protected by heavy
boots, gloves and wells. At the end OF
the second day, however, both employ
er and employe with one accord gave
up the struggle and retreated.
The next to try to wiring fortune
from these auriferous sands was an
Italian who obtained permission from
the Vice Consul referred to above.
The Italian started out with a party
of six, who shared with him his belief.
and so they took along no special pro-
lection against the insects. They en-
dured for less than half an hour the
awful torture and then fled.
Yet there are human beings who can
venture with impunity into this hell
whose guardian demons are mOsQui-
toes, and these are some OF the saw
age natives of the mountains from
whose rocky sleeps the river comes
tumbling down. These savagas who
are moSquito-proof, are rendered so
by their bodies being oyered with the
scales of that awful disease, leprosy.
The mosquitoes will not touch them.
But neither gold nor the gauds of
civilization will tempt them to labor,
ana there Is no human power, appar-
emily which will drag them out from
their rude caves on the mountain side
and make them labor for the white
man.-New York World.

why It was So.

Some good stories of the late Lord Cardi-
gan and his shooting exploits have been
told in Blackwood. On one occasion, it is
said, he was annoyed with his keeper about
the scarcity Of game and ordered bin to
beat through another wood which he point
ed out, promising instant dismissal If sat
isfactory results were not obtained.
But my lordn-urged the keeper
He was interrupted by Lord Cardigan.
'Not word, sirl Obey my orders at oncer
Terrified, thewretched man skunk of, and
the wood was duly beaten up to the guns
There was scarcely a head Of game in 1t.
Limp and detected, the unfortunate keeper
came up, and when his Iordship had said
all he had to say, and was compelled to
stop for want of breath, the poor man
meekly pleaded;
''But, my lord, it's not your wood at all
only you told me to beat it,"
Another story is that Lord Cardigan al
ways shot annually at the same time in
Northamptonshire The woods were diff
hcult ones to beat well, being rambling and
hollow, necessitating the use Of large
number of stops" These stops" were
always, as is generally the case, small boys.
But in this particular year the case was diff
ferent. Lord Cardigan ) quick eye noticed
that, instead Of the small boys, the stops
were grownup men. This struck him So
much that he asked the keeper why 1t was
so, saying that it must come very expen'
sive. The keeper replied:
"Well, you see, my lord, your lordshil

In view of the efforts that are being
made for cleaner streets, the experience OF
an American traveller with the laws thar
prevail In Vienna serves as an excellent
Illustration Of the pains that are taken
there to keep refuse and waste material on
tbe driveways. This traveller had been to
his bankers for his mail, and having re-
oeived few letters stepped into a cab %
drive to his hotel On his way he opened
bis mail, and following the careless prac-
tioe that prevails in this country threw
the envelopes into the street. The CAP
driver saw the act, and, with an express
sion Of astonishment on his face, stopped
the vehicle. jumped from his seat and
gathered up the envelopes But Vienna
policeman had seen the act, and, in spite
Of the fact that the envelopes no longer
Uttered the street. arrested the traveller
and took him before magistrate, where
he was read a severe lesson and lined LOT
his violation Of a city ordinance The
traveller pleaded that he was not aware
that he had mmitted any wrong act,
when the magistrate exclaimed: Whatl

uninn nnd confederate aenerais.

Lincoln was quiokened to the exercise
of his full authority as commander In
chief by the multiplied misfortunes Of his
generals. He accepted as commanders the
men in the army most conspicuous In mil
itary service, and it was one Of the saddest
lessons Of the war that not one Of the COM
mandeTs then prominent before the eoun-
try and most trusted became ohioftains as
the conflict progressed. The contrast pe-
tween the Union and the Confederate
commanders is indeed painful The Con
federate officers who started out as mill
tary leaders in the beginning of the war
as a rule were its chieftains at the close.
The Johnstons, Cooper Lee, Beauregard,
Jackson, Longstreet, Hill, Kirby smith,
Ewell, EARLY, Bragg Hood, fitz Hugh
Lee, Stuart and others either fell IN the
fame of battle irading high commands or
emerged from she war with the highest
distinction
On the other side not one Of the men
who came out Of the war with the CRATE
fnl plaudits Of the country as chieftains
Of the Union was known to military fame
when sumter was fired upon. One BY
one Lineoln's commanders fell by the
waysido, and he was constantly perplexed
with the sense Of the fearful responsibility
he was compelled to assume in the assign
ment of commanders to the different ar
mics. This necessity naturally called for
the employment Of his supreme powers
and compelled him to exercise the sound
est discretion time and again as failure
followed failure in his great work of over
throwing the rebellion. .-COlOnel A. 4

Interrnnted oratlons.

Never perhaps was orator more discon-
certed than was a local magnate during
the municipal elections. He was speaking
in north country town to a teeming audi
ence, when suddenly a breathless man ap-
preached him from the back Of the plat
form and whispered in his ear, the intelli-
gence conveyed evidently being of the
gravest kind, for the orator paused and
turned pale. Then he faced the audience
again and said:
1--WE must all, l repeat, safeguard our
interests natural aud otherwise but am
sorry to say that cannot say more on this
head, as my house is on fire, and must be

This reminds one Of the story told OF the
eccentric Colonel Sibthorpe, the well known
NJ. P. for Lincoln. He was speaking on
one occasion, when wag passed him a
note saying that his back coat pocket was
smoldering. The colonel was not in the
least put out, but said:

tiles say they have not yet come to a final
decision on the matter. 1t Is probable
that unclaimed ashes will be buried in a
corner Of the cemetery or burned. There
will not. however, be much to dispose Of
after all, for cremation does not seem to
be much in favor with the Paris public
Since 1889 when the creInatory was open
cd at Pere la Chaise, only $40 bodies have
been cremated. The number, it is true,
shows an annual increase, but it is very
slow. Thus there were 49 oremations in

1892. 199 in 1898 and AS in 1884 up to the
