The Reunion ut Richmond.

RICHMOND, VA, April 3.-The indica-
tiSns are that the coming reunion here of
Confederate veterans on55June 30 Will be
one of the most imposing gatherings OF
the kind aver held. The committee OF
arrangements, of which Gen. Peyton
Wise is chairman, are daily receiving
letters from camp commanders in all
parts of the South in which the writer's
say the deepest interest ia being taken In
this event in their sections. Gen. Cor
don, the chief marshal of the day, will be
accompanied by lady members of bis
family. They will be the guest Of Gen.
Wise during their stay here.
The indications are that Mississippi,
the State of Gen. Stephen D. Lee, who
will be the orator on the occasion OF the
laying of the cornerstone Of the Davis
monument on July 2, will send a large
teresting feature of the Mississippi d.
vision may be the appearance here of toe
few survivors of the regiment Of rifles
from that State which Jefferson Davis
commanded during the Mexican war.
The suggestion for the formation of an
immense choir to sing the familiar old
Confederate songs some time during the
reunion ia meeting with general favor.
The idea is to get up a band, possibly of
four or five hundred singers, to render
come of the airs familiar to the ears of
every Confederate soldier. Among aome
of these are: "Maryland, my Maryland"
"Bonnie Blue Flag" who'll Care for
Mother Now" ''Just Before the Battle"
"Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, the Boys are
Marching" Gall Quiet Along the Poto-
mac' and "Dixie." If this part Of the
programme Ia carried out, as it Is now
promised to be, it will be n of the most
unique features of the reunion.-BaHi-

A GreRt Battle Abbey

RICHMOND. April 1.-THE people Of
this State and Southerners generally
are deeply interested in the plans now
being perfected for the erection of a
great battle abbey at some central
point, wherein are to be assembled the
relics and memorabilia of the late war
This undertaking, long contemplated,
has at last been made possible by the
generosity of a son of Virginia and
bids fair to be speedily crystallized in
a noble achievement.
When Charles Broadway Rouss of
Winchester, after faithful service to
his people, laid down his arms at Ap.
pomattox, he was only a ragged and
barefooted Confederate private. To-
day he stands foremost among the
wealthy and successful merchants of
New York. From the hour, however,
when luck changed and fortune began
to smile upon, him, it became a rule of
life to share his substance with others
less blessed and as far as lay in his
power alleviate the .misfortunes en-
%gendered by the war. AS a result he
has bestowed upon individuals many
thousands of dollars and upon his
native city of Winchester benefactions
that will cause his memory to be per-
petuated in more than monuments of
bronze or marble.
But in late years this patriotism has
extended to even broader fields of USE
fulness. When the Confederate camp
of New York desired a resting place
for it's dead comrades, Mr.. Rouss
promptly contributed the entire
amount necessary for the erection of a
superb shaft so feet in height to mark
the spot.
When the idea was suggested that
it be desirable to collect and preserve
mementos of the war and build a great
southern war museum, Mr.. Rouss was
the first to come forward, and with his
wonted liberality pledged the munif-
cent sum of 500, 600, subject only to
the condition that the Confederate
veterans and the people of the South
generally should contribute a like
amount. Thus the ball was set in
motion that is now rolling forward
and gathering strength.
Contributions are now being made
both by Confederate veteran camps
and by individuals, while the Sons and
Daughters Of the C~onfederacy are not
behind their elders in the determine
tion that the patriotic endeavor shall
be crowned with supreme success
But this is not all. Notwithstand-
ing his blindness Mr.. Rouss maintains
constant watch over the progress of
the enterprise and spends money free
ly in cooperating with his brother
veterans of the South and lessening
their labors. At an expense of several
thousand dollars he has sent gentle
men through the South to make special
effort in the principal cities of that
section In a few days Colonel John
j. Garrett will start on a similar mis-
sion, though his methods will differ
from others in that he will seek to
enlist public attention by the delivery
Of a lecture on the battle of Gettysburg,
in which he took a prominent part as
a lieutenant colonel of artillery.

A Novel Experiment.

Some rather novel experiments are
being conducted at the Wesleyan Uni
versity, at Middletown, Conn, under
direction Of Prof. Atwater. The pro-
fessor has a theory that people eat too
| much, that they do not use proper
judgment in the selection Of food, and
that they know too little about cooking.
Especially is this true in the case Of
poor people, who purchase the great
/ est bulk possible for the least amount
of money, which necessarily gives
them improper or impure food, and
which is too frequently made worse by
poor preparation. The professor has
paid some attention to the negroes of
the South, and holds the opinion that
their health would be very much bet
ter if they ate less fats and more vege-
table, and ate only fats Of a pure
quality.
To aid him in the study of the nu-
TRENT values Of foods, and the
amounts necessary to give satisfactory
results, Prof. Atwater has had con-
structed at the university an air-tight
box, large enough to permit an adult
| to live comfortably in it for a week.
The box is fitted with electrical appli-
ances for lighting, and for weighing
and measuring. It has also apparatus
for the admission of sterilized air,
which is accurately measured as it is
introduced, and for the exhaustion of
the air that has been breathed. The
air is kept at all times of a certain
temperature, and perfectly pure and
sweet. One week ago last Saturday
DR.. Tower. an instructor at the uni
versity, entered the box and was seal
ed up therein. For seven consecutive
days he was given this diet:
Breakfast-Apples, 8 ounces; eggs,
6 ounces; potatoes, 5 ounces; bread,
IL ounces; butter, 1-3 ounce; cof-
fee, 2-3 pint; milk, Is pint; sugar,
ga ounce.
Dinner = Beefsteak, Hamburger
style, 4 IL ounces; potatoes, 4 ga
ounces; (plain-mashed) ; bread, 2 IL
ounces; butter, 1-3 Of an ounce ; tea
or coffee, rs of a quart; milk, 2 oun-
ces; sugar; 80 of an ounce, and can
ned peaches or pears, 5 ounces.
Supper-Peaches, Z ounces; milk l
pint; sugar, 1-3 Of an ounce ION the
fruit, and bread, 2 q ounces.
DR.. Tower took no exercise, except
to stretch his arms and legs. At the
end of his confinement he was taken
out and found to be in first class con-
dition, with muscles hard, digestion
good, appetite good, mental condition
excellent, and two pounds heavier
than when he went in.
From the foregoing it can be under
stood that Prof. Atwater has demon
strated at least some part of his the
DRY the subject came out of the box
in improved physical condition. But
Just how the demonstration is to be
applied is not MADE clear by the news
paper reports. Everybody cannot live
in an alright box, even if by SO doing
the cost of living could be reduced to
a few cents a week. The probabili-
ties are that we shall hear more of the
matter, when the professor has con-
cluded with another subject, whom he
has locked up and will feed on an en-
tirely different class of food. If he
can teach people to cook properly, and
to eat Only wholesome food, and not
too much of it, he will have accom-
plished q most bene6cent reformation.

and took out two policies OF 5 900 each In
the Mutual Benefit Life and the smallest
dividend they have paid me was 20 per
cent I carry $4,000 besides this in other
Companies, but I regard the advantages
offered by the Mutual Benefit superior to
any contract I have ever examined, espe,
cially the guaranteed face value, the 30
per cent loan plan, the reputation for
economical management, the liberal e1
tension features and the large dividends
they have credited me with for the past
six years. I would not hesitate to recon-.
mend 1t to any one desiring reliable life
insurance for the smallest cash outlay.

Successful Watermelon Culture.

A melon grower in this State has
succeeded in prolonging the life and
fruitfulness of the melon vine. The
seed were planted early in April, and
the vines kept green until frost. This
is his plan as he gave it to US:
He selected a CALLED piece of ground,
and dug four holes two feet square
and two feet deep, about ten feet apart
each way.
A peck Of corncobs was then placed
in each hole "a half bushel would be
better). Then a peck of cotton seed
on the cobs, and the holes filled with
rich earth from underneath cedar
trees where chickens had roasted.
The cotton seed had previously been
killed by wetting and placing in a pile
until they heated (the heating had
better be avoided by bruising the seed
or using cotton seed meaD. The earth
in the holes will settle, and, therefore,
it should be heaped up considerably
above a level. Two years ago the
four hills thus prepared made more
melons than a patch of about fifty
hills planted and cultivated in the
usual way. One vine appears to be
enough for a hole; at most two. A
small handful Of salt may be placed
in the bottom of each hole.
If a wooden box having a glass top,
say 12x12 inches, be placed over the
hill, the melons will be about three
weeks earlier than usual. Insects
can't depredate. When the vines get
nearly large enough to commence run
ming, the boxes should be- removed
and the vines cultivated. But if
boxes be not used, small beds, say six
to eight inches square, thickly sown
with melon seed a few days before you
plant the holes, usually protected
we'll. The plants in the beds being
thick and very tender, the bugs prefer
to suck them. At a proper time, dirt
may be thrown on the beds and we'll
packed, thus destroying the insects.
When this is done the seeds of other
beds should be coming up, to be
treated as aforesaid. You can thus
o o destroy all the insects near the
patch.-Southern Cultivator.

Falling Behind Whites.

Booker Washington, president Of
the Tuskegee Institute, the colored
industrial school Of Alabama, lectured
in Washington on Friday night before
the Bethel Literary Society.
s'The saddest thing in the condition
of the colored man to-day" said the
speaker, lis that he takes no part in
the industrial life of this country. /
was in a Northern city the other day,
and I saw a church being erected by
the hardearned pennies of u race,
but the contractor would not let a
colored man drive a single nail. The
white men had made all the building
material, and the colored people were
paying them to build the church, be-
cause they had no contractors in their
own race competent to do the work.
s'1t also seems that we are losing
our hold on the industries We used to
control. Some years ago, in the North,
the colored barber had a monopoly on
his trade. He did not put his brains
into the business, as he should have
done, and the white man is gradually
taking the business away from him.
If you go to New York to-day you can
hardly find a colored barber.
eff you go to Atlanta, where a few
years ago there was nothing but color
ed horse-shoers, you will see sign Of
Veterinary Horse Shoeing.' And you
will not find the black horse-shoers
there. The white man knows more
about the anatomy of the horses hoof
and he shoes the animal in a scientific
manner. There is no room for the
old negro horse-shoer. Only a few
years ago in Atlanta you could see the
old colored uncles going around the
streets with a long pole and a white
wash brush and bucket. If you had
them come in and white-wash your
house they would wash the ceilings
and the walls and carpets, and the
furniture. They gave no thought to
their work. But if you look for those
old colored men now you will find in-
stead the white house decorator who
understands something about the
blending of %colors, and who never
drops a spot on the carpet or the
furniture. The old man with his
bucket and his long pole is not want
ed.
"Our mothers and sisters, who once
were the recognized laundresses of the
country, are losing their business. I
was in Chicago recently and sent my
laundry away in the morning and in
the evening it was returned. Down
South 1 used to send it away Monday
morning, to my old colored w%ashwoman,
and I was lucky to get it back Satur-
day night. How long can our people
hold the laundry business if the young
men who are graduating from these
industrial schools do not come South
and build electric laundries to CON
pete with the white man, who has a
machine now in which he washes one
hundred shirts an hour?
"To-day s. per cent Of our people
live from agricultural pursuits, and
we have but two scientific farmers in
the whole race. But you may ask
what is being done for this race at
The race is being educated
to realize that the relation between
the races will only improve so far as
the negro improves his education.
He must produce something which
the white mar wants before he will
be recognized. = Washington Post.
