THE MEMORY OF AsHBY.
A Monument Unveiled on the Spot
Where He Fell.

HARRISONBURG, VA, June 6.-(Spe-
cial.)-The thirty-sixth anniversary of the
death Of General Turner Ashby was OBJ
served here to-day by the usual Memorial
Day services, TO which was added the I'M
yelling Of granite monument on the spot
where the gallant Confederate chieftain
received his death-wound. The programme
was under the auspices OF the Turner
Ashby Memorial Association, composed Of
veterans, Sons of Veterans, and Daugh-
ters OF the Confederacy. The attendance
was much larger than upon any similar
occasion in recent years, the number Of
visitors being estimated at fully 1000
After the decoration of the soldiers
graves in Woodbine Cemetery, addresses
were made in Assembly Hall by j. N.
Leggett, Esq, and Judge John Paul, of
the United States District Court.
At o'clock this afternoon a procession
was formed and marched to the spot
where Ashby was killed-nearly three
miles southeast OF the courthouse. The
procession was more than mile in
length, and It included camps OF Confede-
rate Veterans, and the surviving remnant
of several commands that entered the
southern army from this section of the
valley. Two or three tattered battle-dags
that went through some OF the hottest
battles OF the war were borne at the head
of these organizations.
At the monument an eloquent address
was delivered by Colonel ID. II. Lee Martz,
OF the old Tenth Virginia
Regiment OF Infantry, after which the
veil over the monument was drawn by
Miss lillian Paul. The exercises were
with Dixie and the famous
rebel yell. The monument is a simple, but
block of unpublished Virginia
granite, lettered on the east facing as
follows:
GENERAL TURNER ASHBY, C. S. A,
WAS Killed on This spot June 8. 1862,
while Calamity Leading a Charge"
The unwilling occurred almost at the
hour OF the afternoon when Ashby re-
,eived his mortal wound.

the notes are sounded. 1t took him two
so that he could trust his pupil before
an audience. But the reward was great.
Blacks first appearance was made in
Paris and the hit WINS instantaneous.
Prof. Fills taught Black to play the
few airs in his repertoire by the most
persistent practice. No aspiring
musician ever spent longer hours or
more labor over piano than did Black.
He had one advantage in that he never
had to do scales or practice lingering
o. pedaling. The professor guided u
paw to one key enough times to teach
the dog its location, then upon another
and another going back to the begin
ming and repeating an infinite number
of times until the whole mechanical
process of that particular tune was inn
pressed on the dogs brain. But even
after all this practice Black cannot be
trusted to play ar air before an audi
ence without rehearsal beforehand.
If Prof. Fills should rehearse him on
THE Last Rose of Summer" only and
the audience should demand an encore
master and pupil would be in IA guam
dairy, for, large as Blacks repertoire is,
he couldn't strike note correctly in
any air except the one he had rehearsed
and just played
The piano Black plays on isn't really
a piano. IL is a system of electric
chime bells, containing enough notes
to play any ordinary tune. When
Black presses a key with his paw he
really presses button, causing bell
to ring. But the tune can readily be-
recognized, and with the accompani-
ment of the orchestra flows prettily.--

FOOD FOR WARM WEATHER.
Fruits and Vegetables should BE the
Principal Diet During the
Summer Months.

Not cold food, but food which will
generate a minimum amount of heat
in the body, is the proper fare during
hot weather. Instinct and common ex-
perience lead us to avoid at this season
foods known to be heat-producing, such
as pork or other fat meat, and corn
meal. The properties of fat and oil
which cause them to burn readily in
the air make them excellent fuel in
the body. Oatmeal, which contains
twice and in some cases three times as
large proportion of fat as corn meal,
and four or five times as much as
cracked wheat, is the least desirable OF
breakfast cereals fer summer use. Rice
has no fat, hence its value as hot
weather food.
1t is not to be inferred from these
facts that We need no fat in hot wealth
err. We are likely, however, to get all
that we need, if not more, in our or
binary allowance of butter, milk, cream
and meat, a certain amount being
mixed through even lean tissue.
The juicy fruits and vegetables album
ture to replace in the system the wa
ter lost by excessive perspiration. For
rebuilding the tissues of the body We
require constant supply of foods con-
tanning nitrogen, ''flesh-forming" foods,
as they are commonly called. Meat is
rich in this material, but is contained
in larger quantities when rare than
when we'll done. AS in the case of fats,
appetite guides us in this matter, max
ing a slice of rare beef less tempting in
August than in January. Fish and
fowl, being less stimulating than meat,
largely take it's place in summer with
benefit to the health of the household.
Milk and eggs, peas and beans are good
tissue builders, free from the undesir-
able qualities of meat. Where these are
plenty the housekeeper need not fear
that the household will suffer, even il
good meat should be hard to obtain.
Do not omit soup from the summer
bill of fare. A slow fire is sufficient for
preparing stock. The vegetables or
other material to be served in it can be
cooked at any time. Then over a gas
or oil stove the soup may in few min
utes be made ready for the table.
With a hot soup to begin with, the chief
dish of the next course may well be
cold meat, carefully sliced or prepared
in some attractive form. Veal may be
prepared in the same way, and makes
better summer dish than oldfash-
toned veal loaf con taining salt pork
