Blaine's residence in Washington it was
his frequent habit to take a stroll
through beautiful Oak Hill, and that
there he could throw off the burdens of
affairs of state when they became too
oppressive. On one of these occasions
he observed a large hickory tree whose
top had been snapped squarely off in a
storm. The trunk was still sound, and
up to the break the tree was beautiful
and symmetrical. Mr.. Blaine is said to
have remarked to the companion of his
walk that the tree was q fitting emblem
Of his life, a sturdy and luxurious
growth up to a certain point and then
square break. Later he purchased the
lot which includes the tree, and there he
was buried. At the foot of the grave
stands the initials, -. @. b. At the
head is a hickory tree, and nothing else
And thus it happens that no stately mon
ument with glowing inscription marks
the grave of this great and illustrious
man. By his side are buried his eldest
son. Walker Blaine, whose death was
such a tremendous blow to the father,
who in later years had come to lean so
heavily on his first-born, and his daugh-
ter Mrs. Coppinger. Their graves are
marked with incOnspicuOus white marble
stones, containing nothing but the names
and appropriate dates.

Vegetarians in Germany have lately
started a matrimonial agency of their
own, and none but fruit-eaters need APP
ply. The first advertisement page of
their journal presents matter strong,
original and interesting.
An operative, who 'knOws his own
aims in life" which few of us do, wishes
to meet with a free vegetarian who is
prepared for a fruit diet and emigra-
ton
Moderation in eating and drinking,
with an elevated disposition, is what an
other lord of creation requires for his
wife; while a third, "a vegetarian who
makes no Claims" simply asks for lady
''who will afford him the opportunity of
perpetual serving and deserving"
Lady candidates are here likely to be
numerous.
Honest poverty whose simple de-
mand is for a vegetarian lady with a
childish disposition and good landed es-
tate, seems to be giving too little and
asking too much; not SO the vegetarian
maiden VINO does not want to live so
much alone;' she offers "a faithful
heart" which is going, going, gone, in
exchange for a young husband who is
willing to live by the fruits Of the
earth.

should be eternal.
