The Best Part of a Cemetery.

Probably few people know that there
is a choice side to every cemetery. Thus
in some parts of the world, the eastern
portion, without regard to it's situation. is
always deemed the most desirable This
preference arises from the old tradition
that our Lord will appear from the east
For that reason the dead are buried with
their feet toward the east 1t is also
believed that the dead in the eastern
portion will be the first to rise; then those
of the southern, western and northern il

tom to bury felons and other bad charac-

The Father of Graham Bread.

1t would be interesting to trace the rise
and fall of a fad. In 1882 Sylvester Ora,
ham, Yankee preacher Of the Presby
terrain faith, decided that the surest way
to cure the people OF intemperance il
drinking was to cure them of the flesh
eating habit. He went Hp and down
preaching vegetarianism and became the
leader of Il great following. He not only
condemned liquors, but tea, coffee, butter
and salt, and wrote book to prove thai
the only bread fit to eat was made OF
unbolted -four. This resulted in the Ora
ham-hOur brand, called to this day in his
honor. Graham boarding houses were
established everywhere, ct which these
doctrines were practiced. Horace Gree,
ley found his bride at Il Graham boarding
house, and for a time followed Graham's
teachings. Graham advocated that fol
lowing his diet would cause ore to live
to a biblical age, but he died at the early
