A WOMAN'S ANSW

Do you know you have asked for the costli-
est thing
Ever made by the hand aboveg
A woman's heart, and a woman's life,
And q woman's wonderful love?
Do you know you have asked for these price
les things
AS @ child might ask for a toy,
Demanding what others have tried to win,
With the wreckless dash of a boy?
You have written my lesson of duty out,
Main like, you have questioned me;
Now, stand at the bar OF woman's sou
Until l have questioned thee.
You require your dinner shall always be hot;
Your socks and your shirts be whole;
i require your heart to be true as Gods stars;
And pure as the purest, your soul.
You require a cool for your mutton and
beef;
require a far grander thing;
A seamstress you're wanting for socks and
shirts;
look for a man inc a king.
A king for a beautiful realm called Home,
And q man that the Maker, God,
shall look ulon as he did the first,
And say, at is very good"
i am fair and young, but the roses will fade
From my soft young cheek some day
Will you love me then in life's autumn

All things that a man should be;

TOBACCO POISONING IN INFANTS.

A medical journal calls attention to
the danger that the infants of the poor
are often poisoned by having to inhale
an atmosphere saturated with tobacco
smoke. 1t is suggested that with the
limited accommodation at their disposal,
1t Is quite conceivable that men, after
coming home from work and in the
early morning, poison the air Of the
room in which the family live. Acor.
respondent of the Medical Press and
Circular goes 80 far as to say that he
has met with many such cases, the cor
rectness of his diagnosis being proved
by the recovery of the infants when thu
cause was removed. Infants q few days
old, the writer adds, are naturally very
sensitive to the effects of a pollution
which would inconvenience ever grown
up persons, and although there is a
tendency for tolerance to be establish
ed, it a only be at the expense of
healtn. Inc symptoms are loss Of APP
petite, sunken eyes, listless ways, and
restless nights, with nausea and vom-
iting. Nor is this danger to health and
life itself confined by any means to the
very poor. We have heard the late DIR.
Willard Parker, of this city, say that
he had been cognizant in his practice
OF cases not a few in which thoughtless
smoking by fathers, of the we'll to do
classes, had undoubtedly sacrificed the
lives of their sick and enfeebled little
ones. They were unable to withstand
the insidious and overpowering tobacco
poison.
PERSONAL EFFORT.

PERSONAL EFFORT.

We have a great deal about religious
experience, We always are glad to
listen, especially If it is one whom we
know Is a true Christian.
But l an. confident il we would talk
more, do more of personal work for
others our religious experience would
be far more valuable and count for
more than 1t does.
Let us speak to others when we meet
them on the streets, in their offices or
where ever they may be. Did you
speak to that young man who sat by
your side in church last night, or that
young girl or boy? Did you find out II
they wanted to make a start in the
Christian lifep They were waiting and
longing for you to say a word to them.
Did you do itp. If not, why notp We
want to show God by our words and
speak the truth in our heart-not with
our lips alone, for 1t is the love of hu-
nan hearts thro' which the divine
really comes to men, whether they
name it not. Let this thought stay
with us. that there is nc true when we
a not give help.
"Only a little thing, q word, q smile so
slight.
One could not tell the reason why 1t
made the day so bright.
Why 1t brought the light Of Heaven so
close to the troubled heart
And cleared the dusky shadows, like
morning mists apart"

DID NOT FIND HIM
The Potomac Dragged for the Body Of a
Supposed Drowned Man.
Singular Result of an Accident OF
the River FrOnt-Bonts Have
q Smash.Up.

An accident occurred on the river front
this morning that was believed for some
time to have resulted in the death Of a COL
ored man named Ize1I Peel, seaman en-
ployed on the schooner Murray Vandiver
of Crisfield, Md, which was lying at Sher-
ifs wharf for a load of coal. Peel was
putting a tarpaulin over the furled flying
jib to keep the rain from soaking it. The
City of Richmond was at the next dock
south. headed up stream. with her bow but
few yards distant from that Of the
schooner. 1t was shortly after o'clock
and the steamers gangplanks had been
drawn in preparatory to her starting for
Colonial Beach, Suddenly she steamed out
came in contact with the boom Of the
Vandiver, upon which Peel was perched.
The boom was broken on short and the
wheel house badly wrecked
The Richmond did rot stop, but proceed
ed up the river, where she turned and went
on her way to Colonial Beach. There was
Immediately great excitement on board the
Vandiver and among the river men and
stevedores in the vicinity,as it was thought
that Peel had been knocked overheard and
drowned.
The crew of the police boat were quickly
on hand in small boats and began to drag
the river bottom for the body. After pur-
suing this arduous work for over an hour
message was received from Alexandria
saying Peel had fallen on board the City of
Richmond and had been taken to the Vir-
ginia town, whence he would be sent back
to Washington on the ferry boat Peers
only injury was bruised hand. The river
men were very indignant when the accident
first occurred, and claimed the pilot of the
steamer was entirely to blame for the
trouble.

EXPERIMENTAL GRASS GARDENS.
Native Varieties Are BEING Driver

Native Varieties Are Being Driven
Out by Worthless Foreign Species.
Considerable Importance from an agri-
cultural standpoint attaches to a circular
en- experimental grass gardens. which has
just been issued as the first publication of
the agrostology division of the Agricultural
Department. 1t discusses general grass
condlticns In the country, and says 1.-The
American has been a grass killer every
where" Our native grasses and clovers
are being driven out by foreign species,
and the assertion Is made that enough
money has been spent by American farm
ers for worthless fodder plants from for
eign sources to more than pay the expenses
of the whole department for one year.
Voicing the views Of Secretary Morton, the
general grass conditions in the country are
summed up as follows:
The amount of money invested in the
cattle Industry Is reckoned by the hundred
million dollars. and every dollar of that
value is absolutely dependent upon the
question of forage Strip our broad acres
of their grasses and clovers, and instead
of receiving millions of dollars for the meat
products sent to foreign lands we would
have to pay out money for them. The cat
tie industry and the wool industry are de-
pendent upon the question Of grass.
The Iative western grasses are being
rapidly driven out to make way for the
worthless weeds that civilization and
scanty cultivation bring with them. AL
ready the buffalo grass and the mesquite
have disappeared from large section of
Kansas and Nebraska. Acres that were
once covered with these most nutritious
species are now occupied by weedy kinds,
and their value as pasture and hay lands
is constantly diminishing. Similar destruc-
ton of grasses has followed the cultiva-
and hoed crops generally in ell sections Of
the country.

INSECT LIFE.

Has Been Discontinued.

The Monthly EntOmological bulletin
Has Been Discontinued.
Insect Life the monthly chronological
bulletin issued by the Agricultural Depart
ment, has been discontinued, and two series
of bulletins will take its place This ac-
ton is the outcome Of Secretary Morton's s
plan Of wedding out all publications deem
ed too long for practical purposes or lack
ing in general interest, and Of reducing ex-
penditures.
A new series of general bulletins will be
begun, comprising short reports on special
observa tions and the miscellan=cJs results
Of the work of the division in prac ctical and
Heconomic lines and in directions of general
interest, thus including in the main mary
of the classes of articles which have been
published in Insect Life. The second series
of bulletins, published at rarer Intervals,
will contain the results of the purely scien-
tific work of the office force will consist
largely of monographic papers. on groups of
North American insects, and will be dis
tributed only to libraries and to working
entomoogists. The other SERIES however,
will be distributed generally. Insect Life
was recently characterized by Nature as
the premier of chronological bulletins
accompanied with the suggestion that the
results achieved by American workers
should lead the English government to a
more generous recognition of work in
economic entomology"

Remaining Sections Liable to BE Sub

From all appearances the Commissioners
will submit to the highway commission the
remaining three sections of the street ex-
tension plan together. The engineers at
The District building have about completed
the second and fourth sections. Frederick
Law Olmstead. the landscape engineer, has
charge of the third section, and, it is under
stood, will prepare all maps in connection
Herewith. When he submits his study of
the third section the other two sections will
be completed, and then the Commissioners
will make one grand swoop and clean up
the whole matter of street extension as
far as they are concerned without delay.
With reference to the second section
studies, large scale maps have been pre-
pared and may now be seen upon applica-
ton, showing how the proposed extensions
cut into property in the outlying suburbs
There are no bad features in this section
and little trouble is anticipated in the way

NEWS FROM MINISTER DENNY.

A Commissioners to Cooperate With
Consul HixOn In the Inquiry.
The department is in receipt of a cable
gram from Minister DENLY, in which he
states that In response to request made
by him to the Tsungli Yamen, the Taotai
Hsu Hsing-i has been sent to cooperate
with Consul Hixon in investigating the
kutien riot. The rank Of the commits
sioner. who is an intendant Of circuit Tao
tad is, by treaty, equal to that of the con-
sui
1t Is supposed at the department that the
name of this officer may have been altered
in transmission over the cable, and 1t is
possible that the name should be Hsu
Yung-i well-known metropolitan officer,
who for many years was vice president for
the board Of works, and has also been Of
late years minister OF the Tsungli Yamen
Should, however. the department be mig
taken in this. the person appointed ap-
pears, from his name, to unquestionably
belong to the family of this well-known
minister.
The wording of Mr.. Denby's cab1egram
leads the department to believe that this
commissioner has been sent from Peking
end it Is inferred that Minister Denoy has
given ample instructions to Consul Hixon
and that he is enjoying all the facilities
necessary to carry out his Instructions at
Kutien.

AR. RANSOM APPOINTED
His New Commission as Minister to Mex-
leo Arrived This Morning.
1t Ends n Legal COmpIf ca tion-No Sur
prise by the Politicians, for This
Action Was Expected.

The White House mail this morning bore
the commission Of Matt w. Ransom to be
United States minister to Mexico The
commission was dated August a. This
ends a legal complication by which Minis
ter Ransom, after several months service
at his post at the City of Mexico was de-
clared ineligible TO fill the Office to which
he had been appointed prior to the expfra-
ton Of his term as United States Senator.
1t was held by the treasury accounting
officers that he fell within a constitutional
inhibition against the appointment Of Con-
gressmen to offices created, or whose emol-
uments had been increased during their
service in Congress.
It has been generally understood that
Mr.. Ransom would be promptly reappoint-
ed and the slight delay which has oc-
CURED presumably has been for the pur-
pose Of definitely ascertaining that there
We're no more legal or other obstacles in
the way of remaining Mr.. Ransom to the
Mexican mission.
The only reason that has been suggested
that might have operated against Mr.. RAN
SONS reappointment was the report that
gained currency when the Senator was first
named for the lucrative mission in Mexico,
in effect that the President really desired
that Mr.. Wilson, who had done such good
work as chairman of the ways and means
committee of the House of Representa-
tives, should Re given the place finally al
lotted to Mr.. Ransom, but that the sena-
torial Endorsements of the latter were so
numerous and influential that they could
not be ignored with good policy. Mr. Will
sen was in poor health, and the small
amount of work and large salary-s1 { 900
per annum-of the post of minister to Mex
leo would have been more agreeable to Mr..
Wilson than the postmaster generalship.
But Mr.. Wilson having been provided
for there was no reason to believe that
Mr.. Ransom would not be reappointed, as
he has done nothing to prejudice his case
and any neglect to reappoint him would
have implied rebuke.
Mr.. Ransom will have to wait for his
salary, which has accumulated since his
accounts were held up. until his reappoint-
ment, until a special act of Congress is
passed allowing it. There is no doubt that
this will be done promptly. Mr.. Ransom
may not leave for Mexico for some time,
as he has not fully recovered from AN at
tack of Illness which he suffered while
there, but 1t is fully believed that he will
resume his duties at the Mexican capital.

GRACELAND RESTRAINED
Lot Owners Object to the Removal to
Woodlawn.
Action Taken in Court Today - The
Case VIII BE Heard Early
Next Month.

Upon the petition of Harrison Davis and
eleven other lot owners in Graceland ceme-
terry. Judge McComas today signed an or
der restraining the Graceland Cemetery
Association from removing any bodies
buried in lots owned by the conaplainants
and other lot owners without their con-
sent. The association was also restrained
from removing or defacing any slabs,
monuments, sepulchral devices, fences or
ornaments placed on said lots, and from in
Turing or removing any trees planted
thereon, or in any way disturbing or alter
ing the character of the cemetery. The
association was restrained, too. from sub
dividing and plating into building lots,
streets or alleys any portion of the grounds
now embraced in the cemetery, and from
selling the same CIR any part thereof, ex-
cept for purposes of sepuicher. The order
was made returnable on the 9th of next
month, until which time, or until the fur
ther order OF the court. the association Is
restrained as above stated.
The complainants state that the assocfa-
ton was Incorporated September 3d. 1871.
and on the 18th of October. 1871, acquired
title to a tract of about 80 acres fronting
on the Benning and Bladensburg roads and
Boundary street. They assert that they
acquired fee simple interest in their re-
specttve lots, and charge that the act of
Congress of August 8, 1894, to prohibit the
vided for the removal of bodies by the as
sociat ton to some other suitable public
cemetery or cemeteries at its expense, and
for a pro rata distribution Of the proceeds
OF the subdivision and sale of the tract
among the various lot owners. 1t is also
charged by the complainants that without
the consent or authority of the association
several of it's board of officers, together
with other persons formed a private cor
poration, known as Woodlawn Cemetery
Association, which latter association pur-
chased tract of twenty-six and one-half
acres a quarter of a mile from the Mary
land line and about three miles from
Graceland cemetery.
The approach to this second cemetery is
the complainants say, over a difficult road,
requiring a two hours journey from the
center Of the city. To this cemetery. it is
charged, the defendants are removing the
dead buried in Graceland cemetery, with
out the knowledge consent of lot own
ers in the latter cemetery. The further
complaint Is made that the defendants
will not bear tho expense of removing
bodies from Graceland to any other
but Woodlawn, and the distribution of
proceeds directed by the act of August 8,
1894. Is complained Of as unfair and un-
just, the constitutionaIity of the act itself
being attacked, on the ground that it at
tempts to deprive lot owners of their land
without due notice and process of law.
