HENRY CLAY WAS RATIFIED.
But He Remembered a Quotation That
Helped Him Out All Right.

But He Remembered a Quotation That
Helped Him Out All Right.
In the early twenties of this century Mr..
Clay was appointed by the Legislature of
Kentucky Commissioner to Virginia to
ask of that State that a commission be mp
pointed to make definite line of demarca-
ton between the two States. Upon his
arrival In Richmond he was received with
great courtesy by its most distinguished
citizens. He said that his profession, poll
tics and affairs of Government had occu-
pied his time 30 exclusively that he was
aware of knowing little of polite literature,
or the favorlte publications of the day.
This prompted him to ask an old friend,
whom he knew to be a literary man, to Sc
lect some lines to introduce when address,
ing the Legislature, as a quotation ex-
pressive of his feelings TO the State of
Virginia as his birthplace. His friend
suggested a staDZa from SCOTS "Lay OF
the Last Minstrel" which he highly ap-
proved and memorized.
The day appointed for his address found
the galleries, halls and every available
space crowded with eager. expectant au-
ditors, and many beautiful women in
bright attire gave brilliancy to the scene
He held the attention of his audience with
entire success until he came to the part
where he meant to introduce the quota
ton. Then his memory failed him. The
shock was appalling for moment. He
stood rigid and pale before a thousand
watchful eyes, in his mind only blank,
before him turbulent sea of upturned
faces.
With a characteristic gesture he threw
up his hands to his forehead, and in the
most sonorous tones he recited the follow
ing words:
Breathes there man with soul so dead
Who never to himself hath said
This is my own, my native land!
Concluding his speech amid deafenlng ap-
plause.
Every one present had supposed that he
was overcome by emotion, and none but
the friend who had selected the quotation
for him perceived the cause of his mo-
mentary panic.-Courier Journal.

SENSIBLE FOOTWEAR.
The Heavy Variety Is Not Warmer
Than the Light Sort.

1t by no means follows that the
more weight the feet carry the
greater will be the warmth. In
fact, the lighter shoe has an ad-
vantage over the heavy one, in that
the stiff, unyielding sole, usually
found on the latter, prevents q
healthy motion of the muscles of the
foot when walking. The lighter
shoe, with flexible properties, per-
mits full play Of the muscles and
joints, and, therefore, more per-
feet circulation of the blood is pro
NOTED, which is the secret of bodily
warmth. Other things being equal,
a light sole, with a thick cork inner
sole, the Aexibility of which is per,
feet, is a good bottom for cold
weather. The greater number Of
layers we can add to our clothing,
though no thicker than paper, the
greater the warmth secured, because
there is a stratum of warm air re
tanned between the folds. .rr

THE ABUSE OF TEA.
Too Much of II Is Being Taken by
Some Women,

Some Women.
A correspondent of a contem-
porary writes. How is it We hear
so much about the abuse of intox-
icants, and seldom, except in most
casual way, hear anything about the
amount of tea taken daily by MEM
bers of the fair sex, and which is be-
coming just as dangerous and COM
mon habit with them as that of in
temperance among men2
Fashion is at the bottom of many
evils, and so we may attribute to
that much-abused dame the ever-in-
creasing number of fair devotees of
the teapot. Now, let us make a
rough calculation of the number of
cups Of tea that a fashionable lady
will probably drink in the course of
the day;
"First, there is the usual refresher
brought by the maid first thing in
the morning; that is followed by at
least two cupfuls at breakfast, taken
very often with meat or solid food;
and then, after a short interval,
come the inevitable afternoon calls,
In each case accompanied by at least
one cup of tea, these being followed,
when home is reached, by more tea,
to refresh them after the fatigues of
calling; and SO, allowing half dozen
as the average number Of calls paid
in an afternoon, one may safely count
on one dozen cups of tea being taken
daily. t2t
Without doubt q well-made cup
of tea is an excellent beverage, and
incidentally, too, is of great use in
cases of headache, and as an emetic
in some cases of poisoning; but, like
most other things, it is in the abuse,
and not in the use, that the danger
lies. One naturally asks of what
does the danger consist, and the an
swer is that tea leaves contain an
alkaloid called caffeine or theme to
the amount of from two to four per
cent, and also contain, as a combi-
nation, tannin to the amount Of
fifteen per cent, also ON ethereal
oil-and these combined are
responsible for the ruined digestions,
not to speak of the compilations, of
hundreds of women. IN. Y. Ledger.

Police officer. Object.

The action of the Commissioners in pro-
motiLg Policeman Tayman of tine first pre-
cinct from first to second class has caused
some comment. as well as complaint from
members of the'force. For nearly eighteen
years Officer Tayman has done duty in the
department. Thirteen years he did duty as
station keeper, but could not be put on the
force because of the ar-ry and navy pro-
vision In the law governing appointments.
But when the court rendered an opinion de-
Caring this requirement null and void he
was appointed on the force in recognition
OF the services he had rendered This was
more than four years ago. and last week
the Commissioners gave him another pro-
molten.
The objection to his act of the Commits
sioners is being n ade by officers who have
been members Of the force for perhaps five
or six years, and they think that Tayman's 8
long service in the department should not
have been recognized in this way
Those who are making known their OBJ
5ections claim that the promotion was the
resul: of influence, but Maj. Moore says it
was not. His promotion, says the major,
was made because of merit.

Mayer suffered stroke Of paralysis several
years ago, and. though she partially re-

recovery from the first. Mr.. Mayer was at
the Hot Springs, Arkansas, when the fatal
stroke came, and was telegraphed for on
Sunday afternoon He started for Wash
ington Immediately on a special train, and
arrived at his wifes bedside about one
hour before she died. Her remains were
taken to Baltimore late last night, and
carried Immediately to her late home, at 227
West Monument street.
