Abandoned Graveyard

Under the above caption The Fort
Atkinson Union gives the following
interesting historical matter pertaining
to section of Jefferson county near us:
Peacefully sleeping under the sod,
in little plot of ground adjoining a
by-road that intersects the Watertown
road about three miles north of John
son Creek, lies the dust of half dozen
mortals that had to do with the civil
cation in Jefferson county the first half
of the century. One of the headstones
is broken and lies prone upon the
ground. Another, broken off, has
been kindly set up by some friend
to be read by the occasional passer-
by. Two others, well preserved, are
entirely hidden from view by large
clump of socially disposed lilacs
The 'acre" is locally known as the
Thompson grave yard and takes its
name from Elisha Thompson, on part
of whose farm it was laid out away
back in the forties. The present own
er of the farm is Emil Witte, who pur-
chased it about twenty seven years
ago. The names of the dead laid here
will revive the memories of only the
very earliest settlers. One inscription
reads: Jeremiah Turner, died Novem-
Der 5, 1854, aged "a years. He was
born in 1870. Below the name is the
following verse:

HISTORY AS AN AMUSEMENT.
How a Pleasant Evening May Be Passed
in "A Novel Way.

The following hints tell how party
of young folks may spend an evening
both pleasantly and protitably:
Select some epoch in the history of
our country. Study not only the events
and prominent men of that time but
also the customs, manners. style of
dress and home life OF the people.
Ii, as is often the case in country
schools, each child wants to take part
in the entertainment all can be allowed
to dress in costume, and even the
youngest can learn a few facts and an
swer question or two. For it will be
necessary to have a preparatory drill
which should be very thorough, bring
inc out all the information the children
can obtain or the teacher can impart
The time spent in such preparation
will be well employed. which cannot
always be said when time is taken from
| the regular lessons TO prepare fCT a
school exhibition.
The stage can represent a room or
hall of the Oldcn time, and when the
important night arrives all the Young
actors will appear dressed in the fash
ion of the people who figured in the
events they will discuss. The famous
men and women Of that day will, OF
course, be personated. and it will like
wise always be possible to have great
variety of characters represented -ordi-
nary people as well as those already
| known 10 fame.
First on the programme is a history
match, which, besides displaying the
knowledge the young people have
| gained, can be made as amusing as q
| spelling match and very interesting to
everybody present.
Suppose the subject chosen is the
| early history of your state. A diligent
search for information may be rewarded
with some facts not generally known.
whose recital will add to the interest OF
the history match. The tabIeauX may
| represent the arrival of the first settlers
"a home scene in their rude cabin,
perhaps an Indian attack, and what,
ever historical incidents you can best
show in living pictures. Have sung
| some old songs that the youths and
maidens sang when their hearts were
merry, or old hymns that comfortcC
| pious hearts in the lonely cabins
| Amusing anecdotes that date from those
early days may be read and extracts
from speeches of the states first orator:
may be declaimed.
1t seems almost supertluous to say
that the era of the Revolutionary wal
and the years Immediately preceding
and following it furnish much materia
in events, characters and incidents thai
our young students can use. Let oul
history class see a living, breathing

TABLE CUSTOMS IN SWEDEN.
Help Yourself the General Rule Through
out the Entire Meal.

Table methods in Sweden differ from
those in most other countries. An in
sUtution which exists everywhere and
precedes all meals il the so-called
"smur0asbOrd. " SAYS 4 writer in the
Philadelphia Telegraph. This is high
table in every restauraut-room spread
with small appetiZers. such as shrimp,
anchoves, cold roast meats, radisheS,
timed fishes and an abundance of bread
and butter TO this the guest walks up
and helps himself TO his satisfaction at
the same time ordering of waiter
what he desn : for lis next later course.
When he has finished his standing meal
he takes a seat and Is ready for the
main meal, which is very like what j.
to be had in other countries. The Wis
itor will he impressed with the fresh
milk, cream and butter, which are set
on the table in lavish quantities, cir
cumstance which is easily explained
when it is remembered that Sweden
and Denmark provide Great Britain
and some other parts of the world with
great part of their dairy products.
The system of helping yourself often
extends to the entire meal as at rail
dinner. \ great table set with an
abundance of the most excellent yiands
Is placed unguarded at the mercy of the
guests, who each for himself walks 10
the soup dish and dips out what he
wishes and takes it away for silent con-
sumption mt the small side tables near
by. When the soup is finished he casts
his dish aside. takes a new one and goes
to the fish salyer and so on throughout
the meal. When he has done he walks
up to the cashier, reports what he has
eaten and pays the bill, which IS never
eXtrayagant.
A feature of the table in Sweden is
the sO-Called "nadbrOd." or flat bread,
which a stranger is not apt to like. 1t
occurs in the form of Il thick wafer eX-
tended TO about the circumference of a
bucket top 1t has hole in the mid
die, into which one might almost poke
his head and adopt the thing as a new
mode in collars. 1t is mostly very
dark and is made variously, usually
from wheat or barley. and mixed often
| with mashed potatoes and peas. In
the far north it IS sometimes made Of
groUnd-Up bark. 1t Is very brittle
cracks under the teeth like nothing else
on the bill of fare, and tastes at times
| like co Zee. at other times no worse than
a left-oycr-from-Iast-C cracker.
1t is set OH the table ten on fifteen thick
nesscs high, a Joy 10 those who like it
! and a pest to those who do not, and who
! Wouid ike 80 see the space filled up

Wanted No Discrimination.

The last time Bart Scott WAS in Wash
ington he told good story about a
member OF the Wisconsin legislature.
The Old man was elected to The state
senate from one Of the lumber counties
and was proud of the honor. When the
legislature met in Madison Senator
Blank was daily in his seat before the
time for calling the senate to order
and spread the Madison Joar1laf before
him to read the news of the day. One
morning after the chapiain's prayer.
while the clerk OF the senate was read
ing the journal Of the proceedings OF
the previous day, a gentleman arose
and said:
Mr. President, l move to dispense
with the reading of the journal"
Senator Blank quietly folded his
Madison JouyuaL arose aud said: Mr..
President move also to dispense with
the reading of all the other papers.
There should be no distinction against
the JctllWUl. -Ibiiddelphju Times.

The German wife.

This excellent habit of saving is no
less conspicuously a characteristic of
German than of French women, though
the former play far less important
part in the national affairs of their coun-
try than the latter.
In the fatherIand, as in by far the
greater number of continental realms.
woman is really what Tennvson pro-
nounced her to be half a century ago
"the lesser man" She is in many re-
spects a model housewife, skilled in all
the arts and crafts that contribute to
building up and perfecting the material
comfort OF home life.
As mistress and servant alike she is
capable and conscientious, an adept
both in keeping down household ex-
penses and in obtaining the utmost
value in kind for the money at her dis
posal.
The typical German "hausfrau7 OF the
middle or "burgerliche" class is an ac-
complished seamstress, cook. laundress,
cutter and contriver," deeply versed in
the quality and price of all imaginable
cOmestibles, fabrics. articles of furniture
and household implements. She IS
thoroughly grounded in the literature
of her native land and Is acquainted
with at least one foreign language, be-
sides possessing an exhaustive kuowl-
edge of history, geography and what
may be termed practical arithmetic.
In the educational process, indeed.
which she has inevitably undergone as
a girl the element of utility predOm-
mates. If, however, she has been en-
abled to attend the "Hohere Tochter-
schulz or high-class establishments
organized for the instruction of Young
women in sciences aud ACCOMPLISH
ments, she probably knows a good deal
about chemistry. mathematics. music
and drawing and can write and = eak
English and French with toIerable cor
rectness. Hence she starts in married
life with an abundant stock OF int lect-
ual as well as physical training 10 fit
her for companionship with Il highly
educated man and for the discharge of
all her purely domestic duties toward
husband. children and servants.

RUSES OF GROWER RUSHERS.
Successful Stratagems of the Thirsty ol
DRY sunday" Uptown.

A policeman stationed in front OF the
side door of saloon at Ninety-eighth
street and Columbus avenue last Sun
day construed his instruction as going
so far as to prevent people from enter
ing the place, says the \. Y. F0r}d
There had been no difficulty expe-
rienced by the neighborS on previous
dry Sundays in rushing the GROWER"
but to the person who. on this day, APP
preached, can in hand. he would say:
III you 90 in there and get beer, when
you come out | will arrest YOU and use
your can as evidence if it has beer in
Independent OF the regular side-door
there is an entrance to the saloon from
the hallway leading to the fats above.
This was utilized by the initiated until
the watchfui guardian of the excise law
caught on. He transferred himself to
the hallway entrance. He had the dis
erection to know that he had no business
on the premises and he was content to
warn from the sidewalk those who came
with an exposed bucket. But he was
pOrerlesS when there set in past him a
procession of bright. new coal-Oil cans.
He could not say but that the persons
with the can lived in the tenement and
were carrying the daily supply of oil to
their apartments. When the can came
out it was not for him to say that the
possible tenant was not going to the
grocery for fresh supply OF oil. He
did not feel authorized 10 stop people
and examine the contents OF covered
baskets, nor was he warranted in i'll
vestigating the contents OF several
hand-satchels, although he had his SIS
piciOus.
When Il man came along with q
horses nose-bag, apparently filled with
oats, he would have wagered his silver
plated shield that beneath a thin layer
of the grain there nestled glistening
growler-and he would have won.
Toward the middle Of the afternoon
an incident occurred that caused look
of mingled amusement and yeNation to
spread over the officers features Two
men came along, carrying between
them a small trunk. The officer thought
he detected the sound Of rafting tin
from within.
Where are you men going with that
trunk?" he sternIy inquired.
up to the room, lightly replied one
of them, as they brushed past him into
the hallway.
They did not come out for half
hour. Both men were decidedly heav-
Ter by the weight OF quart of beer
each, and they held the trunk very I'M
steadily between them.
"Where are you going now with the
trunk?" he asked
Were moving-see?" they replied,
in concert, as they moved on up the
street and entered the Dressed Beef
flats, where the representatives OF a
half-dOzen thirsty families impatiently
awaited their turn.
The lid was lifted and in the depths
of the trunk there snugly lay six growl-
ers of the regulation gallon size, which
saloonkeepers fill for 10 cents and call
it "a pint"
The trunk made a second trip but
that was after the policeman on duty
had been relieved 10y brother officer.

RUNNING THE CLOCK BACKWARD

This apparently impossible feat is
easy to the watchmakers. but more
wonderful is the necromancy which
makes the old young again. Yet that
IS very much the effect DR.. Pierce's
FayOrite Prescription has on multi
tudes Of prematurely worn out, brok-
en down women, who seek in it relief
from the manifold woes of their sex.
Backache, dragging pains, displace

For nursing mothers and all debili-
tated and run down women, If is the
most effective restorative tonic and
soothing neryine, Dispels melancholy
and produces refreshing 81 aep. To
those about to become mothers it IS a
priceless boon. Itlessons the pains Of
childbirth, shortens labor, promotes
the secretion of an abundance of nour
ishment for the child and shOrtens the
period of confinement.

HER NEW SEALSKiN.
She Was Informed that 1t Was Dutiasle
on That Very Hot Day.

Apropos Of the feminine tendency to
evade custom-house duties, a funny sto-
ry if told of vell-known Murray Hill
dame who took trip .Canada last
month partly for the pleasure of the
excursion and partly also to purchase
her winter furs at reduced prices, says
the n. Y. IribU23c.
Il can wear sealskin coat home in
the autumn without exciting comment
even if it is a little early for furs," she
remarked to the friends who accom-
panied her, "and rs reasonable wearing
apparel actually in use, is not taxed, |

For several days previously the nights
