There are two mountains in New
Hampshire bearing the name Kear
sarge. One of these is in Warner, in
Merrimac county; the other near
North Conway. There is fanciful
tradition that the Warner mountain
got its name from a hunter-H Heze-
kiah Sargent, who is said to have
been the first man to discover it.
Sweetser doubts the existence of any
such hunter and traced the name
back to 1926, a period preceding the
alleged appearance of Mr.. Sargent
on the scene. G. v. Fox, assistant
secretary of the navy during the civ
il war and the best possible author
ity on the subject, wrote years ago,
when we selected the name for the
Kearsarge, sloop of war, in which
the gallant Winslow sunk the Ala
bama, we had no thought whatever
of the Kearsarge in Merrimac coun-
ty. Boston Transcript.

Poe In New York.

Near the boulevard, upon the site
OF the house 206 Eighty fourth street
and the lot adjoining on the east,
stood until few years ago large
old fashioned frame dwelling in
which Poe wrote that chapter of ac
cumulated horrors, 1.-THE Facts In
the Case of M. Valdemar, one of
the best examples of fiction which
has the semblance of literal fact.
Here, too, according to metropolitan
belief, he composed the deathless
poem which gave him his highest
renown.
1t is noteworthy that, while sew
eral localities are now claiming the
honor of having been Poe's home
when he wrote 1.-THE Raven, " DR..
Woods is producing specious reasons
for his belief that Poe did not write
it at all The house stood high upon
the rocks i'll the midst of a pleasing
rural landscape and was occupied by
the parents of Commissioner Bren-
nan, with whom the poet and his
family boarded. His room was a
large, square apartment on the sec
ond floor, whose front windows look
ed across the lordly Hudson to the
heights of the Palisades, and here
his desk was so placed that his eyes
rested upon that inspiring view
whenever he lifted them from his
page. This chamber was thereafter
called the Raven" room, and the
belief of the Brennans and their
that the great poem was
here composed is alleged to have
been founded upon the statements Of
Poe and Mrs Clemm. Theodore T |
Wolfe in Lippincotts.

ETIQUETTE or STATE.


Rigid Rulcs OF Precedence Govern the So
ciai Events OF the Administration.
1.-THE wife Of the president makes
and returns no visits. The wife of
the vice president pays first visit
only to the wife of the president" !"
writes Mary Nimmo Balentine in an
illustrated article on "Women of the
United States Senate in The Wom-
ans Homo Companion.
"The wives of senators make first
calls on the wife of the president,
the wife of the vice president, the
wives of the ambassadors, the ladies
of the supreme court and upon each
other in the order of the length of
service of their husbands in the SEN
ate. The wife of the vice president
holds receptions on Wednesdays,
cabinet day, because her husband is
a member of the president cabinet,
while the day of receiving for sen
ators wives is Thursday, between
the hours of land in the afternoon.
These receptions begin after the 1st
of January and continue to be held
until Lent begins. Some ladies OBJ
serve the day for receiving all the
time congress is in session. The Gus
tomary Preparations for holding an
afternoon reception are to station
one man at the drive to open and
shut carriage doors and call car
riages and another at the hall door
to admit callers and take cards.
The hostess receives the visitors
standing near the door of the en-
trance and is dressed in high
necked gown, which may otherwise
be as elaborate as taste may dictate
Visitors may be announced by name
to the hostess by an usher or may
speak their names themselves.
ANY person is at liberty to make
the visits at the homes of senators,
and all persons are cordially re-
ceived. Those leaving cards expect
their visits to be returned. Resident
and nonresident sightseers who call
without introduction of any sort |
do not leave cards A large proper
ton of the official folk owe first calls /
to the ladies of the senate, the ladies
of the cabinet, the wives Of foreign
ministers and the wives of the mem
bers of the house of congress. These
are termed duty calls and must be
returned in person. A woman whose
husband is in the upper house, can

TIE French Fad overdone.

The French have had hospitable
reception from US of late years,
says Henry D. Sedgwick, Jr., in
The Atlantic. Their books have been
read with diligence, their novels
have strewn ladies' tables, their
ideas have inspired our men of let
ters. "Englished, done into Eng

fused into English, French litera-
ture furnishes forth our young la
dies with conversation and our
young gentlemen with cosmopoli-
tanism, until the crushed worm of
national prejudice begins to squirm
and turn. Flaubert, the high aspir-
ingi De Maupassant, the cunning
craftsman; Bourget, the puppet
shifter, and Zola, the zealot, have had
their innings. Their sideis out. The
fiery bowling of Mr.. Kipling has
taken their last wicket, and those of
US who have been born and bred in
prejudice and provincialism may re-
turn to their English-American ways
with a fair measure Of jauntiness.
We are no longer ashamed to lose
interest when we hear of an 'inev-
liable" catastrophe or of "impecca-
bic" style. We yawn openly over
bitterly modern spiritual complex

How ia Tell tho Age of Horse BY His
Teeth.

1 ~~~"~ - ~~~~ "Nf~ <A8t 1t ~ AAoksc oy hih
Teeth.
AT years old the horse should
have the central permanent niprcrs
growing, the other two pairs vast.
ing, six grinders in each jaw above
and below, the first and fifth level,
the Others and the sixth protruding.
The sharp edges of then new incisors
will be very evident, compared with
the old teeth. AS the permanent nip
pers wear and continue TO grow a
narrow portion of the cone shaped
tooth is exposed by the attrition of
the teeth on each other, The mark
will be wearing out, and the crowns
of the teeth will be sensibly smaller
than at years. Between 3lS and A
years the next pair of nippers viii
be changed, the central nippers will
have attained nearly their full
growth, vacuity will be left where
the second stood, and the corner
teeth viii be diminished in breadth,
worn down, and the mark in the
center of the tooth will become
faint. The second pair of grinders
will be shed.
At4 years the central nippers will
be fully developed, the sharp edge
somewhat worn off and the mark
somewhat wider and fainter. The
next pair will be up, but they will
be small, with mark deep and ex
tending quite across them. The cor
ner nippers will be larger than the
inside ones, but smaller than before
and flat and the mark nearly effaced.
The sixth grinders will have risen
to level with the others, and the
tushes will begin to appear.
At the horses mouth is almost |
perfect. The corner nippers are
quite up, the long, deep mark irreg- |
ular in the inside, and the other nip
pers will bear evident tokens of in
creased wear. The tushes are near
ly grown, the sixth molar is up, and
the third molar is wanting. This
last circumstance Will prevent the
deception of attempting to pass a
late 4-yearold as a 5-year-old. At
6 the mark on the central nippers is
worn out. AT z the mark is worn
out in the four central nippers and
fast wearing away in the corner
teeth. The tushes are rounded at the
points and edges and beginning to
get round inside. AT s years old the
tushes are rounded in every way,
and the mark is gone from all the
bottom nippers. There is nothing
remaining in them that can after
ward clearly show the age of a
horse. After this the only guides
are the nippers in the upper jaw.
At 8 the mark will be worn from
the middle nippers, from the next
pair at 10 and from all the upper
nippers at II. At 9 the center nip
pers are round instead of oval. At
10 the others begin to become round

congress having been prevailed upon
to make modest appropriation for
the purpose. The report of First AS.
sistant Postm aster-General Heath,
which has just been issued, con-
tsins vigorous plea for the continue
tlon and extension of the service. He

In important educational benefits
as the result of more active
distribution of literature and OF re-
lief from the monotony of farm life.
The report gives statistics showing
impressively the rapid extension of
the system. On November first rural
free delivery was in successful opera
ton over 383 routes, affecting forty
states and one territory. Since July !
the system has been extended greatly
with an expenditure of about $50, 600,
the annual cost of the service being "a
cents per capita, against an average
expense Of 81. 80 per capita in towns of
5000 population. Mr.. Heath empha-
sizes the fact that free delivery is a far
more important matter to the country |
population than to the Inhabitants of
towns, the former being frequently |
compelled to drive from five to ten
miles for their mail, while the latter
can reach the postoff1ce in few min
utes. It 10 to be hoped that congress
will attach due weight to the assis-
tant postmaster-genersl's recommen-

LIBERIA is redeemed at last. After
twenty-five years of bankruptcy the
negro republic is now rehabilitated,
the interest on her public debt being
paid. In 1871 Liberia foated debt of
$500, 900, chiefy'to England. but three
years later the little republic failed to
meet the interest, and this condition of
affairs has prevailed ever since, until
now her fiscal agents in London have
announ oed that the government is once
more able to meet its obligations. This
step was rendered feasible by new
source of revenue derived from rubber
and the interest which the bondholders
despsired of getting is now being paid
from the royalties being turned into
the government of the repu bile by the
Liberisn rubber syndicate, an essen

one OF the concessionaires, after pay

profit of $500, 900; four or five others
netted an average of $4,000, and the
least fortunate of these purveyors OF
