KIPLING HEARD 1T ALL.
TFrom the New york Press. !


'"They say Rudyard Kipling is coming
back to this country Soon, said the
man who sat in the corner and smoked
a well colOred meerSchaum. when
ever Kipling is in New York he spends
part of his time at the University
club, of which he may or may not be
member. He is of a rather retiring sort,
personally, and it was long time be-
fore he came to be well known to a ma
jority of the clubs habitues, and a pair
of them made his acquaintance one day
in a rather odd way.
1.-THE two friends went into the club
restaurant to get a bite to eat, chooS-
ing a table next to one occupied by a
quiet looking chap, who was devouring
a chop and drinking a glass of ale all
by himself. One of Kipling's books had
just come out, and the friends fell to
discussing it with vigor. Before long
they were sizing up all the Kipling
writings An the frankest and most in
geniouS fashion.
Being healthy minded fellows and of
good literary tastes, they both thought
well of his productions on the whole,
and said so plainly; yet they each had
found a few flies in the amber, and they
naturally talked about them. Some of
the defects which they had noticed
seemed to the speakers to be really ser
ious, and one of them said somebody
ought to draw Kipling's attention to
them. At just about that time the
stranger at the adjoining table faced
about, got up from his seat and walked
over to the critics.
1" I hope you will pardon me- he said.
smiling widely upon them, but I've
been obliged to listen to your CONVEX
sation for quite a long while, and I've
become so much interested IN it that
I'd like to join in Besides, my name
happens to be Rudyard KipIing, and it
isn't fair for me to sit still and listen
without making myself known But
possibly I'd be able to explain some
things to you, and I'm sure shall de-
rive a great deal of benefit from your
talk
Now, it so happened that one of the
two men who were talking about Kip

HIAWATHA'S
PIPESTONE QUARRY,

[Pipestone, Mimi. Cor. in the Chicago
Chronicle.1
Less than a mile from the hustling
little city of Pipestone, Mimi, are three
freaks of nature that will well repay
visit from the lovers of the curious and
the beautiful The first is a waterfall
or cataract, which when the stream
that feeds it is swollen by the melting
SHOWS and spring rains is a miniature
Niagara, and in point of beauty rivals
many of the famed waterfalls of the
east. The second is the famous Red
Pipestone quarry, the scene of the
opening of Iongfellow's beautiful poem
"Hiawatha," and the third Is a group
of immense rocks-aIso spoken of in
"Hiawatha" as the Three Maidens-
that have stood for ages as a landmark
to guide the Indians to the only spot
in the known world where the sacred
pipestone could be found.
The waterfall, quarry and Three Maid
ems are all located on the Indian reser-
walton, which is one mile square ad-
the north. The reservation belongs to
the DakotaS, or what is better known
by It's French name as the Sioux Ma
ton, but 1T is claimed by the Yankton
Sioux. Several years since a determin-
ed effort was made by a committee of
citizens of Pipestone to purchase it, as
they did not want SO large a tract of
land so near this city lying idle, but the
Indians would not part with it for love
or money. The next best thing to do
was to see if something could not be
done with it, even if it remained in the
Indians possession. An application
was made to congress, an appropriation
of $780, was obtained, and substan-
tial school building was built on one
corner of the land. The school has
proved so successful that a second
building, the size of the first. is being
built to accommodate the ever-increas-
ing number of pupils.
The poem of 'Hiawatha" begins:
On the mountains of the prairie,
On the great Red Pipestone quarries
and any one unacquainted with the
neighborhood would naturally suppose
that it was hilly, to say the least On
the contrary, the country is quite level,
there not being what in eastern par
lance would be called small hilP' in
the neighborhood.
No one but the Indians are allowed to
quarry the stone and every summer
they come in squads from distant res
ervations to get supplies with which to
make pipes, knickknacks and orna-
ments that they carve out of it, both
for their own use and for sale and trade
to the white man. They also frequently
sell the stone in the rough to the white
men, who, with turning lathe, can
work it up much better than they can.

INFANT SCALES.
IFrom the N. Y. SUM-

CFrom the N. z. SUM-
Babies have been weighed from time
immemorial, but it is only within few
years that scales have been made espec-
tally for that purpose. The old-fashioned
time-honored way of weighing the baby
was to tie it up in a towel and then
hook the hook of q spring balance into
the knot; and this way is still common.
Whatever other household scales might
be in use in a house have also been used
for this purpose. as they still are, but
there are now made special infant scales
and used for that purpose alone.
Infant scales are made in several
styles. They all have one feature in
common, however, basket in which
to put the baby in place of pan. An
infant scale of a design new this year
is finished in white enamel. The weight
plate, upon which the weights are placed
in th~ weighing, is of iron polished I'M
til it looks like steel mirror. At the
other end of the balance, where the pan
would ordinarily be, is the basket, OBJ
long in shape, and fashioned with a
able holding of the child. The basket
also is enamelled. The base of the scale
projects in front to afford a place for
the weights, which are of polished iron.
The larger weights are provided with
handles. There are no very small
taken by means of a sliding weight on
a beam attached to the front of the
scale. Such a scale as this sells at $25.
Infant scales may be bought, however,
at Sc and So.
The scales are used not only to find
out the weight of the infant when it is
born, but to weigh it from time to time,
maybe once a week, to note its growth.
Infant scales are made to weigh up to
25 or 30 pounds.

OPPOSES A GRAVE
An Eccentric Man Will Not Rest
Therein.
Reuben Smiths Corpse to Occu-
py Chair
IN A SARCOPHAGUS
Ten Feet 6 Inches Long and 5
Feet High.
Head to Be Covered With a Soft
Felt Hat.

Amesbury, Mass, Jan. 26.-Reuben
John Smith died at his boarding house
In this city today.
Mr.. Smith will be remembered as the
man who had costly marble tomb
erected last fall In Prospect cemetery,
expressing the wish that he should be
placed in it after death, sitting in a
chair. Under no consideration, Mr.
Smith said, was he to be put in casket
or buried. The chair arrived last week
and was at once taken to the tomb
and found to be the exact size.
Mr.. Smith was II years old and to the
oldest inhabitant was well known. He
was a man who said little about himself
further than that he came here in 1867
from Buffalo, N. Y. He never spoke of
his early life or his relatives. He was
an inveterate checker player, and was
first a paper hanger in AmeSbury and
then hack driver. 1t was through the
dread of being placed under ground that
Mr.. Smith contracted with Charles Da-
Wis to build him a sarcophagus.
A solid rock foundation was first laid.
Upon this was erected an arched,
houSe-like tomb of brick, laid in cement,
the walls of which are one foot thick.
This brick structure was encased in
marble. The sarcophagus Is 10 feet 6
inches long and 5 feet inches high.
The inside measures 8 feet. The floor
is laid with cement and over the door
appears the inscription:
'1S2S-R. J. Smith -"
with place left vacant for the year of
Mr.. Smiths death.
When Mr.. Smith made his will he left
the funeral arrangements in charge of
Undertaken H. G. Austin. Two weeks
ago he sent for Mr.. Austin to discuss
the arrangements with him. The I'M
dertaker suggested to him that as there
would be a large crowd present it might
l. hot to hor hnf I'd r0fc yhf
but Mr.. Smith objected to this and said
his funeral must take place in the after
noon.
His hair was thin on the top of his
head and Mr.. Austin asked him If he
wanted to wear a hat. The old man
said that he had never thought of that,
but that if he died in the winter time
Austin might get a soft felt hat, while
if he died in the summer he need not
bother about the headgear.
When asked if the public were to
have a chance to view his remains, after
he had been placed in the chair of the
tomb, Mr.. Smith replied in the affirma-
tive, saying that the people of AmeS-
bury might come to see him if they
wanted to, and he directed the under
taker to stand by the door of the tomb
until all who wished to do had had an
opportunity to look in after his body
had been placed in the vault.
The entrance will be sealed with a
foot wall of brick, the steel door will
then be locked, and the key, which Mr.
Austin holds, will be destroyed.
Mr.. D. l.. Barrett, who has charge of
Mr.. Smiths affairs, refuses to state
when the funeral will be held but it is
believed that it will take place tomor-
row afternoon, and that every wish ex-
pressed by Smith will be carried out.

HORSES WHICH COST.
IN. Y. Cor. Pittsburg Dispatch.I

IN. Y. Cor. Pittsburg Dispatch.1
Ten horses owned by the city cost the
municipality 100000 a year. Why there
should be so large an expenditure per
annum for only ten horses the legisla-
ture will be asked to appoint a COM
mittee to inquire. These ten horses are
required to do no labor. They are stab
led IN a manner such as are no other
equines owned by the city.
Their abiding place is in a Sterilized
building at 154 East Fifty-seventh
street. They are the horses used in OBJ
tanning the city's supply of diphtheritic
serum, and the stable that shelters
them Is the New York Veterinary col
Iege. The good that comes from these
ten horses cannot be estimated in dol
lars and cents. Hundreds and thouS-
ands OF lives have been saved by them.
The death rate from diphtherfa in New
York has greatly decreased since horse
serum has been used in treating the dis
ease. Nobody denies that the horses
have done good, but it is claimed that
the same good can be done at immense
ly less cost. Persons opposed to the
great expenditure claim that New York
city could buy all the diphtheritic SER
um 1t uses in a year for less than Sc, 000
AS 1t is now, the city pays out $5.SS
vial for the manufacture of serum, and
at sells the same serum in New York
city for 20 cents a vial and in Chicago
for so cents vial, the Windy City ply
Sicians getting the benefit of $5.4S of
good New York money every time they
buy vial of the New York serum. The
figures seem to prove, too, that the city
sells the best of the serum, as the per
centage of successful use of 1t is much
larger in Chicago, which buys from the
New York city archaeological depart
ment two-thirdS of the serum used
there, than it is in this city.
1t IS true that others initiate the
methods employed in advertising Beggs'
German Salvn others claim to heal and
to cure disease because Beggs' German
Salve, the one true ointment, has been
so wonderfully successful. But in thou
sands and thousands of cases, as shown
