GRANDSON OF GENERAL GRANT,

For the first time in his young life
a STRIPPING who bears the proud name
of Ulysses S. Grant was brought to re-
alize fully and completely the lofty
character of the heritage he has in
that name when he unveiled the eques-
trian statue of his grandfather pres
ented by the Union League club Of
Brooklyn to the city of Brooklyn. The
New York Journal says:
He heard old men cheer as they had
not cheered since the days Of 1861.
Bands played heroic melodies that
made his young blood Jingle His face
flushed, his eyes sparkled. Torn and
tattered flags thrilled him to the mar
row as they were dipped in honor Of
his grandfather, and yet If you were
to question the boy you would discover
that it was not gratified family pride
that made his cheeks flush and his
eyes kindle at the ever echoing name
Of Grant. Like any other patriotic
American schoolboy, this youngster
knows his grandfathcr best as the hero
of Appomattox, the peace restorer q
the Union.
He is good to look atthis boy. he
has clean cut features, clear com
plexion. honest gray blue eyes set well
apart, and square, firm chin, inherit
ed, with the name, from General Grant

MUSCULAR INACTIVITY.

Many a man who thinks he has a
weak heart is merely dyspeptic; many
woman owes her ala, ming symptoms
to tight lacing or insufficient feeding,
If the dyspepsia be cured or the tight
lacing be dispensed with the heart
weakness will disappear. Even when
the heart is genuinely weak, the weak
ness is not always due to special dis
ease of that organ. 1t may only be
part of a general weakness of the whole
system which is easily durable. The
best tonic for a weak heart is a brisk
walk Not doubt OF IT. The majority
of weak, fiabby hearts are weak and
flabby because every other muscle in
the body is weak and fabby-and this
general weakness and flabbiness is due
to want of vigorous use Exercise OF
the legs and back and arms gives ad-
ditional and much-needed exercise TO
the heart, and the heart grows strong
by vigorous exercise as every other
muscular organ does for the heart Is
a muscle II a man has no organic
disease Of the heart. no enlargement,
and no functional disorder, plenty Of
brisk walking, with occasional running,
will soon dispel his breathlessness and
heartweakness, other things being
equal The muscular inactivity of the
modern town man is the parent Of
more ill-health than any other single
cause whatever

One Perfect Woman.

At a recent prayer gathering, al
which a prominent banker was present
s. laughable incident took place. The
minister, turning to the gentlemen
present, asked: Dear brethren, did
any Of you ever know or hear of a per.
feet man." The divine paused q few
moments, then repeated the question
and, receiving no answer, turned tc
the females present and asked Dear
sisters, did any of you ever hear of q
perfect woman?" He repeated the
question a second time, when a tall
lean, patient female arose and looked
the minister straight in the face. Fol
moment he wes incredulous, but, re.
covering his sang froid, he asked: 'Dit
you ever hear of perfect woman, sis.
ter?' He did not wait long for the
answer: Il did, but only one. 1t was

Political Prophecy.

Burke has credit for political
prophecy. No great foresight was re
quired TO surmise that anarchy would
end in military despotism. The
example Of Cromwell was suggestive.
Burke fancied at one time that the
military power of France would de-
part. He fancied that the depart
ments would become so many sepa-
rate republics and throw off the yoke
ofthe central government. He fancied
that there would be a domination of
bankers. The sphere in which he is
real prophet is not the political, but
the ethical. He did discern moral
tendencies and consequences discern
ible by no ordinary eye. In passage
Of his letters he traces with admirable
skill and truth the connection be-
tween the loose sentimentality Of
Rousseauism and the indulgence of
murderous passions in the reign of
terror.
That Burke, when he wrote the
"Rehections on the French Revolu-
tion," though the victim of a temporary
frenzy, was IN no other sense mad is
proved, If proof were needed, by the
appearance two years after of the
letter to Sir Hercules Langrishe on
the removal of the disabilities of Irish
Catholics, a production as sane, as
liberal and as wise as anything he
ever wrote. His conduct in champion
ing the Catholic claims was the more
chivalrous because his Catholic CON
nection had through life exposed him
to calumny and suspicion. There is
some reason for believing that his
arguments at the time made favora-
bic impression upon George III,
whose mind perhaps was opened 10
them by his alliance with Catholic
monarchies against the atheist republic.
In the end other influences unhappily
prevailed, and the country rues at
the present hour the rejection of
Burke's policy OF Catholic emancipa-
ton CornhW Magazine.

HATS AND WRAPS.
Many Flowers and Brilliant Colors For

Many Flowers and Brilliant Colors For
Fashionable Headgear.
Colored straw hats and bonnets are very
numerous. Very yellow straw trimmed
with lace and Wits gauze, is much liked
The bright reds blues, violets and greens
enjoy considerable degree of favor, and
hats composed Of two colors of straw are
also worn, the crown being of one color
and the brim Of another. Flowers are used
to an immense extent, roses, lilies of the
valley, peoples, carnations, iris, bluets,
primroses and violets being mingled with
gauze, black, white or colored. Illusion is
used in the same way, being tucked, shir-
red and pulled and made into bows and
choux.
Green is first favorite among colors just
now. 1t Is seen in all shades and varieties
of tone, and green hats or hats with green
trimming are q feature of the season.
Nearly all flowers are represented in this
shade, besides the more natural looking
copies Of Ivy, ferns and other foliage Green
tulle Is much employed in millinery, and
green straws with flower trimming are
among the most effective hats seen.
Summer capes are exceedingly pretty
and attractive. For general use the cape
of cloth, relatively simple is preferred. 1t
