the President.
Abraham Lincoln, the man
without an education, was so
passionately fond Of poetry that
he carried scraps of it in his
pockets to read at odd moments.
When at ease for an hour ne
would sit and repeat verses, the
fayorites being Oliver Wendell
Holmes "Last Leaf" and
"Why Should the Spirit of Nor
tai Be Proud?" His sentiment

in the White House was BIZ
lizards. He bought very good
table, and cleared out a corner
of the conservatory to make
room for it. When tired he
would play billiards; and when
supposed to be "away for the
afternoon, taking trip some
where, he was driving the balls
with his sons, one of whom now
has the table. Hayes is remark
able for the recreation he did
not take. Billiards, wine and
fast horses were his abhor-
renee. His recreation while in
the White House was in such
limited poultry culture as he
could carry on in the White
House Enclosure and at his sum-
mer home, a pastime taken up
as livelihood afterward.
President Arthur's amuse-
ment was unqueSt1onaDly pam
quet giving, and he carried it
out to the death. He was the
greatest connoisseur of wines
that ever entered the White
House. He was a magnificent
entertainer, and when not press
ed with work he banqueted his
friends. Benjamin Harrison
loved the Adirondacks with his
outdoor life. He liked Cape
May, near the sea. His recrea-
ton was and is to commune
with nature, and from her he
gets his inspiration as well as
his rest. William Mckinley
has no settled fondness for
sports. He loves to ride horse
back, and he has three car
riages for his wife.

Theodore A. Havemeyer, who died in
New York recently, was known
throughout the country as the sugar

an immense fortune in the business.

The latest device for the promotion
of education is the travelling library
that is, library that stops at one
place for six months and then is moved
to another town or neighborhood. Two
philanthropists in Michigan and Wis
consin have fitted out a number Of such
enterprises, and they are said to be
very helpful and popular. The libraries
consist mainly of standard works and
frst-class periodicals, and nothing is
charged for the use of them.

The Day of the Red Terror

January q, 1906 was the famous
DAY Of the Red Terror" described by
medieval chroniclers. The dawn was
clear and beautiful, but shortly before
the sun rose the heavens became OBJ
scured in strange red blaze. 1t hid
the sun and the crimson glare fell upon
the earth like the reflection Of some
great confiagration. Terror filed the
hearts of mankind everywhere. The
churches Of Europe were filled the
Whole day long. Anchorites and her
mlts came from their retreats and
cried aloud that the Day of Judgment
was at hand. In the afternoon and
evening some people declared they
could see angels and devils battling in
the air and that the blood of the con-
Hlct rained upon the earth. However,
about midnight the red pail disappear
ed before wind and the panic-stricken
people recovered their senses.

[ will go down in history as
VI the duck-hunting and flsh-
ing President. During his last
four years in Office he went duck
hunting 100 times and dragged
over 1000 feathered fiiers.
But other Presidents, says the
San Francisco Examiner, have
had their sports or fads. George
Washington conducted the larg-
est stock farm known In his
time at Mount Vernon be
owned 5000 acres of land, and
upon 1000 of it raised fancy
stock. He bought all the finest
horses in that part of the coun-
try, and originated the thor
oughbred" system. John Ad-
ans left Harvard in 1865, the
best trout fisherman in his class,
and SO firmly did this sport cling
to him that after his presidency
he retired to Braintree, Mass,
to spend the remainder OF MS
days "along stream" His vaca-
tons, though infrequent while
in the White House, were pass
ed fishing along the Potomacs
shores, then wooded and wild.
Thomas Jefferson, a rich mans
son, was an accomplished violin
player. So fond was he of this
accomplishment that when
pressed with work he would res
olutely put away his violin lest
he be tempted to play it. James
Madison went through Prince
ton in two years and came out
SO delicate from the strain that
he was never able to join the
sports of other men. He took
refuge in gardening, and raised
the finest roses ever grown and
the sturdiest cabbages.
The pen of James Monroe was
so mighty that it vanquished all
else. Writing came first. last
and all the time. During his
eight years in the White House
he took no vacation at all, de-
voting all his spare time to pen
driving. He was the only
President who believed in
"aN work and no play" John
Quincy Adams was so fond of
dancing that during his minis
try to the Netherlands he la
mented long and loud upon his
inability to attend social func-
tons. He was too poor to re-
turn them. Never a man was
more at home in the ball room,
and it was his delight to escape
the affairs of state and arrange

1t was unreasonable in Spain to ex-
pect any great military achievement
from Gen. Weyler. He was sent to
Cuba as merciless eXecutioner, and
has not failed in that respect. But he
is not built for a soldier, and the Mad
rid authorities must have desired to
get rid of him when they ordered him
to the front.

Pure alcohol is a result of the re-

century.

1t is probably true, as Gen. Weyler
says, that "the Cuban insurgents have
nothing to confiscate." The tyranny of
Spain has impoverished them, and now

Having met with the highest sue
cess in the manufacture and sale of
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, it has become import
ant to all to have knowledge of the
Company and its products. The
great value of the remedy as medi-
cinal agent, and of the Company's
efforts, is attested by the sale of
millions of bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose of
manufacturing and selling a laxative
remedy. which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more bene-
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process of manufact-
uring, figs are used, as they are
pleasant to the taste, and healthful
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most benefcially.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful physicians, but if
in need of laxative, then one
should have the best and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most
largely used and gives most general
satisfaction.

METALS AND MINERALS.
VALUES SHOW DECREASE OVER
1895, NOT OUTPUT,
-GOld and Copper Show Large Increase Over
Previous Year. US. Leading
Gold Producing Countries.

New York, Jan. ,. The Engineer
ing and Mining Journal today con-
rains statistics of the mineral produc-
ton of the United States during 1896;
The pordu1 don of minerals ana
metals in the United States Tor the
wear 1896 is given to a total value OF
$3.50, 81 ,46S, showing a decrease as
compared with 1895 of $24, 6S9, 266, or
about 3lb per cent. This decrease
was largely in values rather than IN
uuantaities; in none of the chief artl-
cles was there any marked decrease
while in several there was consldera-
BILE increase.
The total production of metals in
1896 was valued at $242, 311, 4S1, an
increase of $1,694.11 over 1893. The
value of non-metallic substance was
S41O.999.9S7, a decrease of $26,SS3,311
from 1895.
A large part of this was due to the
lower values of coal, stone and rev
other important substances, very little
resulting from the smaller quantities.
The productions of Aluminium show
an increase of 100000 pounds over
that of 1895, the total for year being1,-
BOO 900 pounds. The production con-
tineus in the hands of a singel COM
pany, the Pittsburg company.
An increase of about 100 is reported
in the production of Anthony, which
came wholly from California mines.
The increase in copper has been eX-
traordinary, the total amounting 10
67,370.150 pounds. This gain was
made in spite of large increase in the
domestic demand, but was more than
absorbed by the extraordinary exports
for the year which are largest on rec
ord.
The gold production for the United
States in 1896 reached the total of
$57 100000. a gain over 1895 of no less
than S1O,169,S00. This extraordinary
advance which far surpasses tina gain
reported from any other country in
the world. puts the United States in
the lead for the producing countries.
Our output of gold was no less than
26 of the total reported for the entire
world.
The production of pig iron for the
United States was in 1896, S,769,S69
long tons. The depression of business
which made itself manifest in the lat
ter part of the year had less effect
than might have been anticipated, the
decrease from 1895 being only 617,-
439 tons, or about IA per cent.
The production of lead from domes-
tic ores in 1896 amounted to S97,717
short tons, showing an increase of 90
S63 tons over the preceding year.

THE x RAY.
BEHOLD, I GIVE YOU LIGHT AND
1T DID.
Martin. Ten Years in Total Blindness is
Made to See and Distinguish
Light From Shadow.

New York, Jan. 2.-The Herald
says: The y ray has given a glim-
mer of light TO eyes that had been
sightless for 10(years. The subject
of the test was John f. Martin, who
by submitting experiments as substi-
tute for Charles Broadway ROuss has
become known as "Mr. ROuss' man."
Martin first presented himself to Mr..
Rouss eight months ago. He was
formerly druggist, but in 1887 was
stricken with paralysis of the optic
nerves and became totally blind.
Famous occulists treated him from
time TO time, but all agreed that his
case was hopeless, that he would new
er see light again.
Hearing that Mr. ROuSS was to sub
NIT to 100000 volts of electricity in
the hopes that the shock might restore
his sight, Martin calls on the mer-
chant last April with this proposition:
IF the shock kills me it would kill
you; if it cures me it will cure you.
Let me submit to the experiment in
your stead.
Mr.. ROuss assured the volunteer
that he had no intention of undertake
ing any such perilOus risk, nor would
he consent to anybody undergoing it
for him, but he was of mind to try
another eXpedient which had been
suggested to him, and here he let
Martin take his place. Martin has
since submitted to n succession of
tests-perhaps half a hundred. Two
attendants led him to the Office of DR..
David r. Edison.
The blind man, although he had
grown accustomed to experiments,
was viSibly nervous as he was placed
in front of the electric apparatus
The Horoscope was placed at his eyes
and the Y ray turned on. There was
an instantaneous swapping of the cur
rent and then a stiffness as all in the
room watched the face of the man in
front of the electric glare. At length
DR.. Edison asked: do you seen any
thing"
NO" answered Martin. His lips
had scarcely framed the reply when
there rang from him: 81 can see-1
can see light" and the Joy in the tone
moved all who heard it. DR.. Edison
at once turned off the ray. Martin
was deeply moved at the CLEAN which
had penetrated his long darkness and
he was led to a seat to compose him.
self before the experiment was contin-
| ued.
Again the Horoscope was placed at
his eyes. This time he received the
impression Of light more quickly, and
when he had revealed in it for a mo-
ment. piece of metal was passed in
front of the Horoscope. Martin de-
tected the movement instantly.

Enough had been done for one day,
and the man, rejoicing in even this
little light which had come to his life

MURDERED IN HIS HOTEL.

he lived but two hours, dying with

murder is supposed TO have occurred

crime was robbery is shown by the
fact that his cash drawer and cigar
