Lafayette's Visit to America.

Jean Fraley Hallowell, who writes,
In the Ladies' Home Journal, of when
Lafayette Rode Into Philadelphia"
saws that 'it is difficult to understand,
at this late day, what a furore of ex-
element passed over this country when
Lafayette arrived once more In Ameri-
ca. The visit is an historic event to
be remembered while memory endures.
During President Monroe's second adj
ministration the United States extend
ed it's invitation to Lafayette. He ar
rived at Staten Island on August 10
Sunday, 1924, accompanied by his
son, George Washington Lafayette, and
also by his son-in-law. A formal recep-
ton took place on the following day
the first fruits of the most abundant
harvest of welcome which Lafayette
was to receive during his year of travel
through the United States.
Lafayette was 81 years old when he
visited America as the Nations guest,
and carried his years lightly. His head
was shaped like that of Burns. He
had a high forehead, long, aquiline
nose, and a rather thin face. His hair
was sandy and quite plentiful. His eyes
were dark gray. restless arSs-
linc bis eyebrows, H.. 1T in color, but
heavily marked. His mouth was firm,
and his lips smiled courteously at the
holiday crowd assembled to do him
honor. The General was not very tall,
but we'll made. His face was distinct
~ pleasant, and it's expression was an
odd mixture Of shrewdness, decision
and gay good humOr. His costume was
a swallow-tailed coat and trousers of
dark brown, with great display of
white waistcoat and neckclOth. A
bunch of seals hung from a broad
black ribbon at his waist. Over his
shoulders hung cloth riding-cloak,
greenish blue In color and lined with
red"

A BishOD'S Hat.

We are all sensitive as to our person
al identity. Smith doesn't like to be
called Jones, and Adams shows good
deal Of the "Od Adam" when he Is
mistaken for an cxpressman. The Lon
don Realm tells story illustrative of
this constituencies:
The late Lord Ailesbury was standing
bareheaded in a well-known hatter's
shop in Piccadilly while his hat was
being ironed. A bishop-who, being
still alive, has not reached his turn for
posthumus anecdotes, and must conse-
Quently be nameless-entered the shop
in full attire, and seeing Lord Allies
bury bareheaded, mistook him for
shopman.
Taking of his own head-covering, the
Bishop said, II want to know IL you
have q. hat like this?''
Lord Ailesbury surveyed the hat and
its owner, and turned on his heel with
the curt remark:
mo, haven't; and II had, I'd be
hung before I'd wear it."

Wives Sold at Auction.

There Is a town on Vancouver ISL
and overlooking the Pacific Ocean that
is In need of 1900 women. The town
is a cheerful place in its general as
pect, its streets are well paved, and
the climate and surroundings COM
bine to make 1t attractive. But there
is q shortage Of women and young
girls in this locality that begets an air
of melancholy in the bearing Of the
male inhabitants.
The Mayor Of this town Is a resource
full man. Finding that it was impos-
sible to relieve the gloom that had
settled over his bailiwick without for
eign aid, he raised a fund to import
a carload of manageable women from
the East. A hundred young women
comprised the first consignment to this
center Of high-pressure bachelorhood.
The town received the newcomers
with open arms. A reception followed
by bargain sale" Of wives acted like
q tonic on the despairing community.
Men who had begun to fear that
long journey must precede the chance
to wed found a honeymoon within
their reach. The bidding was spirit
ed. In some instances great bargains
were obtained, forlorn bachelor OBJ
tanning a better half at actually panic
prices. One man had a life partner
knocked down to him before he had
been introduced to her.
There was not large amount OF
money involved In this curious sale.
A girl who owned $50 was rich enough
to indulge in the luxury of spinster-
hood If she so desired. A man with
500 to spend at the auction was In
position to make his own choice prac-
tically. Beauty was at premium,
and frequently caused very lively COM
petition. On the whole, the expert
ment was a great success, and the
town has taken on an air Of gayety that
1t sadly needed. The number Of we'd
dings since the auction has been sufa-
GENTLY great to encourage the town
in the effort to obtain another carload
of spinsters from the East.-New York

HIS MAIDEN SPEECH.
when Wendell PHILIPPE First Electri-
fed HE Auditors.

When Wendell Phillips Firot 6Iectri
fled HE Auditors.
At the Boston Latin School, at Har-
card College. and at the law school
Wendell Phillips was distinguished for
scholarship and oratorical talent. he
wished to be an orator, and at this Pc
Rod of his life his admiration for Web
ster was unbounded. But several years
passed before his wish could be cal
lied. ,rr. F. P. Stearns, In his DOCK
of "Sketches from Concord to Apple
dore," describes the occasion that re-
vealed Phillips, the orator.
In October, 1887, he was married to
Miss Anna Green, cousin to Mrs. Ma
ria chapman. In November occurred
the riot at Alton, ILL.,, and the assassina-
ton of Lovejoy. DIR. Channing's first
petition for an indignation meeting in
Faneuil Hall was refused by the au-
thorities, but a second and rore ur-
gent one was granted. The audience
was almost equally divided between
the anti-slavery people and their oppo-
nents, who made the most noise an0
disturbance 1t seemed IS II the meet
ing would end In confusion.
Il went there" said Wendell Phil
lips, twenty-five years later, "-7ithout
the least intention Of making speech
or taking any part in the proceedings.
Ny wife and Mrs. ChannOn wished tc
go, and accompanied them. l remem-

new one, with small cape, as was the
fashion of the day; and after the at

nouncing Lovejoy as fool, suddenly

overcoat, started for the platform.
my wife seized me by the arm, half
terrified, and said:
Wendell, what are yo1 going to
dor
II replied, 4 am going to speak, ii
l can make myself heard"
The uproar was SO great that the
chairman asked Dr. Charming If he
could stand thunder; but the personal
beauty of Mr.. Phillips so surprised all
hearers that they paused to listen to
him, and were so charmed by his elo-
quence that they neglected to make
any further disturbance. The attor-
ney general was wholly discounted,
and DR.. Channing's resolutions were
carried by a substantial majority.
Mr.. Phillips was only 26 years Of age
when he delivered the spontaneous,
magnetic speech which proclaimed him
a vigorous, original orator.

that chill is approaching. The entire
duration of an attack Is usually from
twelve to fifteen hours.
The periodicity of the attacks is-most
striking; they occur with regularity at
the end Of twenty-four, forty-eight Or
seventy-two hours. During the inter-
vening period the patient feels pretty
well, and except in unusually severe
cases is able to be about. The remit
tent type of the disease has no distinct
intermissions Of the fever; the temper.
ature is constantly above the normal,
though marked remissions occur.
Malaria is caused by the presence in
the blood of parasite, minute Or
ganism which can be seen only by the
aid Of a microscope. The natural his
tory Of this parasite is not known; nor
do we know how the organism enters,
or how or in what form 1t leaves the
human body. 1t is known, however,
that these organisms are always pres
ent in the blood of person SUFFERING
from malaria, and that they disappear
with the disappearance Of the symp-
toms, or with the administration OF
quinine. Low, marshy regions, With

In regions where malaria constantly
prevails, it occurs most frequently ia

unnecessary exposure to the night air
should be avoided.-Youth's Compan.

The people who are assuming that
the tariff bill is likely to drag through
the summer and keep the business of
the country in an unsettled condition
awaiting final action are to be disap-
pointed. The next week or ten days at
the furthest are likely to see the bill
perfected by the Republican members
of the finance committee, and it is like
ly to get into the senate before the
month ends. Prospects now seem to
be good for final vote upon it in June,
and its completion in time that it may
go into effect at the beginning Of the
fiscal year, July 1.
The changes made by the senate COM
mittee are much less in extent and inn
portance than had been expected. The
pressure for reduction in the duties
on wool has not been successful thus
far and the chances seem to be that
they will not be.
The demand of the sugar trust for
changes in the schedule advantageous to
them has been promptly rejected.
