Eckels' Successor.

Mr.. Eckels' successor Is Charles Gates
Dawes of Illinois, also young man. He
is almost as youthful looking as the retir-
ing comptroller, who was spotted as a boy
when he first came to Washington. Mr..
Eckels' youthful appearance led to the
telling of many stories about him, some of
which were truthful and some of which
were not. The comptroller does not deny
that an important government official once
called on him at his Office and asked to
see Mr. Eckels. my name is Eckels,
said the comptroller. "But wanted to
see your father, sonny" replied the visitor.
Mr.. Eckels also admits that 1t is true no
has at various times had difficulty In max
ing people believe in his identity while
travelling about the country. For instance,
he was once invited to make speech at
the annual meeting of board Of trade In
New England city. 1t was shortly after
his appointment, and he was not as we'll
known then as he is now. When no made
his entree to the hall where the dinner was
to be given, and asked to be shown to the
seat reserved for him, the young men in
charge Of the seating politely but firmly
informed him that he was carrying the
joke too far; that "no kid like him could
run himself in on them as a ringer" Mr.
Eckels explained in some detail with a
smile on his face that he was the only and
original Eckels, "the boy comptroller, y

FIRST METHODIST SERMON IN AMERICA

Wesley preached the first Methodist
sermon ever preached on this cont.

was delivered not far from the site of
the present Christ Church, Savannah,
of which he subsequently was the third
rector, and was addressed to mixed
assemblage. His congregation hardly
exceeded four hundred persons, in
cluding children and adults. reinforced,
however, by one hundred or more of
the neighboring Indians. Wesley dis
cused in a most eloquent manner the
principles of Christian charity as
argued by Saint Paul in the thirteenth
chapter of First Corinthians. He made
a powerful appeal, and many of his
audience were in tears. While he was
not go impetuous in his delivery as in
after years, his abilities at that time
bespoke the great preacher and re.
former.
IF he was more scholastic in style
than in after years, the fervor and
force of his appeals were none the
less felt by his hearers. Especially
was this strictly true when in the
course of his discourse he advertnd to
the death of his father, who for forty
years or more had been the incumbent
of the Epworth rectory. This vener-
able man was asked not long before
his death: Are the consultations of God

claimed, with uplifted hands, 'and
then,' continued Wesley, calling all
that were near him by their names, the
dying patriarch said: Think of Heaven,
talk of Heaven; all time is lost when
we are not thinking of Heavenl' This
was spoken by Wesley in tremulous
voice, and his new parlshioners at
Savannah were on the instant almost
swept off their feet by tidal wave of
religious enthusiasm. Tradition has
it that several Indians who were pres
ent became 80 greatly excited, not only

June Ladies' Home journal.

The June Ladies' Home Journal pre-
sents an infinite variety of strikingly
illustrating, timely and practical fea-
lures. 1t opens with an article by Will
liam George Jordan on "What Victora
Has Seen, " which graphically recounts
the progress of the world in the past
sixty years, since the coronation of the
English Sovereign. Coming on the
eve of the Queens Jubilee it is especi-
ally timely. The establishment of
Methodism in America is told in an
interesting article by Rev. W. ]. Scott,
DID,, on when John Wesley Preached
in Georgia." 1t narraUes Wesley's
great work, his forceful preaching de-
scribes the first Methodist sermon in
America, which was delivered by Wes-
ley, and his Sunday School, which was
the first in the world. "Uncle Sam 9

paid into the Conscience Fund of the
United States Treasury is received, and
how its guilty senders carefully avoid
revealing their identity.

Thomas Jefferson Not a Democrat.

1t is painful to be forced to unmask
a man who has been SO long held up as
the exponent of Democratic doctrine,
but a stern sense of duty to the free
silver and spoils Democracy of the
present compels US to portray him in
his true colors. 1t is not right that he
should receive the enthusiastic lauda-
tions Of Chicago platform Democrats
when he was false to nearly every one
OF the great and glorious principles
which they formulated in 1896. What
right had Jefferson to pose as Demo.
crat, anyhow What pretensions to
Democracy had man who actually
believed in applying business princi-
pies and common sense to national
affairs, who had old fashioned ideas
about the sacredness of obligations,
who demonetized silver when he saw
it was necessary for the public good
and who was civil service reformer.
Logically the only thing for the free
silver Democrats to do is to denounce
Mr.. Jefferson instead of praisiug him
and to adopt resolutions reciting his
various glaring heresies and formally
reading him out of the party, for it is
absolutely certain that if the Chicago
platform isto be taken as the expression
of true Democratic doctrine Thomas
Jefferson was not a Democrat and
must descend from his pedestal as the
father of Democracy. cy.-Bsltimore Sun.

What We Inherit

We are not to blame for. We can not
be held responsible for the dispositions
and tendencies which we derive from
our ancestors, nor are we responsible
for the germs of disease which may
manifest themselves in our blood as a
heritage from former generations. But
we are responsible if we allow these
germs to develop into serious diseases
which will impair our usefulness and
destroy our happiness. We are respon-
sible If we transmit to our descendants
the disease germs which it is possible
for US to eradicate by the use of Hoods
Sarsaparilla, the one true blood puri-
fer. The medicine has power to make
rich, red blood and establish perfect
health In place of disease.

A ROAD EXPERIMENT.
Durability of Vitrifed Brick Pavement to

Durability of Vitrifed Brick Pavement to
BE Fully Tested.
The successful use of vitrified brick
for the paving of streets has caused
much discussion of its adaptability to
country roads in sections where good
stone for macadam is not readily OBJ.
tainable. .,
The people of Monmouth township,
Warren County, Illinois, haye the
credit of being the first county to pave
a country road with bricks. This ex.
pertinent will be watched with much
interest by all who are concerned in
road improvement in the prairie re-
gions.
This road was builtby contractors at
about 80 cents per running foot. The
ground was prepared for it by grading
and being allowed to stand for two
months 1t was treated to an occa.
sional scraping 80 that it would pack
evenly, and when the contractors were
ready to lay brick it was as hard and
even as a floor.
The first thing was setting the curb
ing. This was made of 2 by inch oak
plank, set seven feet apart and held by
oak staEsa 10 inches long,. and put
down every four feet Inside this was
put five inch bed of sand. This was
evened up. and the single course of No.
1paying bricks was put down. They
were set on edge, and make e f:ne road
bed. Outside the curb two feet Of the
crushed rock was laid. graded up to
make an easy approach. This makes
a roadn1 feet wide and finest in the
land. The earth road on each side was
graded and worked, making it all 40
feet wide and affording tracks on each
side for use in dry weather.
These vitrifed bricks are not made of
clay, but peculiar shale rock, and are
so exceeding hard that sharp edged
fragment will cut iron or steel.

THE CAVALIER.

The Cavalier was the first, in time,
to put foot upon the continent, but
was followed close by the Puritan.
The Covenanter came late. The Puri.
tan had the start of him by 1875 years.
The author defines Covenanter to be
"a distinct people, not a sect" In
1775 the Puritsns numbered in the
colonies about 600 900; the Cavaliers
400, 900; the Gov euanters 100000.
The Virginia Cavalier came to the
New World to make money and own
q princely domain. Five thousand
acres was the size OF an estate In old
Virginia. The Puritan came to the
New World for room and liberty; the
Covensnter, partly for liberty and
partly for money. The Virginia stream
began to flow about 1888. They be-
longed to "the prosecuted" and were
forced to thrust themselves outside Of
the northern and western settlements
to follow the frontier and 80 became
q wall of protection against the hostile
Indians.
These we're our State building forces.
The ruling class in Virginia from its
earliest settlement were Cavaliers. The
Episcopal church was the only lawful
church. The Penal Code Of Virginia
enforced by the Cavaliers was the
bloodiest ever enacted by man. Alb
sence from church, without good ex-
cuse, or disobedience to their ministers
was a capital offense. Absence from
church on week day, without a good
excuse, sent the offender to the galleys.

United States Coins.

1t is not generally known that all the
minor coins of base metals such as
pennies and nickels, are made at the
Philadelphia mint, and that nearly 1OO,.
100000 pennies are coined there every
year. This large number is occasioned
by the fact that thousands of pennies
are lost annually, and the government
has some difficulty in maintaining q
supply. The profit of the government
on their manufacture is large. The
blanks for making them are purchased
for 81 thousand from Cincinnati
firm that produces them by contract.
Blanks for nickels are obtained in the
same way, costing Uncle Sam only
cent and half apiece. Gold is coined
in Philadelphia and San Francisco.
Not enough of it comes into the mint at
New Orleans to make the coinage of it
worth while. Gold pieces are the only
coins of the United States which are
worth their face value intrinsically. A
double eagle contains SEQ worth of
gold without counting the one tenth
part of copper.-Scientifc American.

And makes the meadows greea,
And along its side the snow dro ps hide
With buttercups between.
