WANTS A CARNEGIE MONUMENT

Andrew Carnegie has offered to give $250,000 for the erection of free pub lie library in Washington, if congress will furnish site for the building and provide S10,000 d year for the main tenance of the library. There is no doubt that his offer will be accepted. While MT. Carnegie is in the library building mood, we wish that he would come to Charleston and look over the field here. With one-ffth the amount he has given to Washington he could build a monument to himself in Char lsston that would last as long as the mountains of his native land.-Charles- ton News and Courier.

THE STAFF OF LIFE.

At the head of vegetable foods is
bread. 1t is.~O common that any re-
marks about it may seem trite; but
l may say that wheat bread is among
the most nutritious of all the farm
aceous kinds, especially when the
entire contents of the Wheat-berry are
embraced in the manufacture of -four
Bread is very properly eaten with flesh
to correct the tendency of the latter
to putrescence, and is most expedient
with such articles of food as contain
much nourishment in small bulk. To
render it easy of digestion, bread
should be well fermented, thoroughly
baked, and not consumed before it
is twenty-four hours old. Eaten hot
with butter it produces fatulence,
heartburn, wakefulness, and kindred
complaints. Bread made of rye is
apt to sour on the stomach because of
it's disposition to acidity and fermenta-
ton, and it is not well adapted for the
diet of those persons having choleric
temperament, or those afflicted with
dyspeptic, hypochondriac, and hysteri-
cal symptoms. On the other hand, it
is useful as preventive or cure of
scurvy, and is eaten in great quantities
by European soldiers. Corn bread
made from the meal Of maize, appears
to agree well with all persons who like
it, and when the meal is mixed with
wheat or rye -four or both the re-
sulting bread is especially palatable
and keeps moist a long time. Buck
wheat -four is used for bread making
in some countries, though we know it
best as the chief ingredient of the fes-
tive batter-cake which comes on our
tables with sausage and maple syrup.
1t is likely to cause itchings and cuta-
neous eruptions if it's use is long con-
tinued, and cannot be regarded as es-
sentially wholesome.-A G.

pOned weddings from SO and "a.
Last year was another twelve months

tai of 20.S60 marriages, 800 more than

In England it is found that the av-
erage age for marriage is steadily RS
ing. The same condition is revealed
in New York. The fayorite age for
marrying among girls is exactly twen-
ty. Nearly so per cent. Of the mar
Tiages are between bachelors and spin
sters. Widowers are in greater de-
mand than widows, or more easily con-
soled, in New York as in England
Widows are much alike on either side
of the Atlantic. More widows choose
bachelors than widowers for second
choice. Out of all the marriages re-
ported but 154 persons said they had
been parties to divorce. Briae-
groomS were on an average five years
older than their brides, and the great.
er number Of bridegrooms were TWEEN.
ty-fve years old. More were between
twenty-five and thirty than twenty-one
and twenty-five AS in England, the
age for marrying is being raised, in
spite of the immense foreign popula
ton. There is no increase in the re.
marriage of divorced persons. Many
such marriages are solemnized outside
New York state"

OFFICIAL MARRIAGE BUREAU.
France Furnishes Wives With Dow
cries to it's Colonists Abroad.

Pail Mall Gazette learn that prac-
teal steps are about to be taken by
the authorities to promote the emigra-
ton to the colonies of French women.
year or two ago this matter was the
object of private initiative, but the
results of a number Of public meet
ings and an energetic newspaper cam
paign seem to have been wholly mega
tive. The French colonist continues
to complain that it is almost i'm
possible for him to find a wife of his
own race unless he makes the jour-
ney home for the purpose, an expedi-
ent that is often impracticable for
cOlonists of the poorer class. This
state Of things has more especially
attracted the attention of Gen. Gal
lieni in Madagascar, and the con-
templated action of the government is
largely due, / understand, to his ur-
gent representations.
The projected scheme is to take the
shape of a central emigration office
for women, to be installed in Paris
under the auspices Of the ministry of
the colonies. This central institu-
ton will open a number of branch
offices throughout the country in the
agricultural districts as we'll as in
the towns. In this way an effort will
be made to bring home the beauties of
emigration and the eligibility of
colonial husbands to suitable young
women. Something more will be
done for them, however, than to give
them well-meant, if not quite disin-
terested, advice. Approved candi-
dates for eXpatriation will be provided
with trousseau and with small sum
of money to enable them to live for a
time after landing. The state is also
to give them a free passage, and will
aid them to find employment. Whether
it will carry it's solicitude to the ex-
tent of procuring them introductions
to manageable young men is not
stated. Each trousseau is to cost
about 912, and some ga is to be al
lowed as pocket money To begin
with, an annual expenditure is con-
templated of 100000 francs (e4,OO0),
sum which will endow the colonies
with 200 presumably willing brides.

WRECK CONVERTED HIM.
Gambler Made an Evangelist by a
Railway Horror

Reading, Pa, June flames Doug
lass told a strange story. He declares
that the Exeter wreck converted him.
He is Scotchman by birth, but has
been a resident of the United States
for twenty years, has been a profess
sional gambler and has piled his vo-
cation in all the large cities. He was
in a drunken stupor in the smoker of
the express on the night of the wreck,
and, although badly shaken up, es-
capped uninjured. After years of worth
less living and his mad desire for
drink he could stand it no longer Be-
fore Y. NJ. G. A. General Secretary Ed
wards he promised to be a new man,
and at the prayer meeting in st. Pc
ters M. E. church he gave the story
of his inspiration to lead a new ex-
istence. A contrast of his present with
his past circumstances may serve to
show his integrity of purpose. His
profession as a gambler brought him
from 500 to $500 a week. Now he is
content with Sc or 81 week as an
evangelist.

FIRE BURNED TWO SCORE YEARS.

The terrible fires which are now
raging in the mines of Smuggler Noun
tain, near Aspen, Colorado, in which
forty miles of underground workings
are consumed, and the severe one
recently in the Utica mine of Cali
fornia, again direct public attention
to these subterranean conflagrations
in mines of observation-disclosures
character. The presence of the deadly
fire-damp, or carburetted hydrogen,
in coal-mines, and its liberation by
the removal of coal, to accumulate in
some excavated chamber, often reason
ably enough account for explosions
in those mines, followed by fire Selling
upon the mineral and clinging there
to with stubborn, even irresistible,
tenacity. There are mines of coal
which are now burning and have been
burning for twenty years, despite all
efforts to assuage the devouring ele-
ment. Into these fires the steam of
sixty boilers has been steadily turned
for many months, and then, after all
efforts to extinguish them had proved
futile, further attempts were aban-
doned, the district Of the fire was cut
off from the mine, walled up, and left
to shoulder to itself, with it's dead
heat and confined caloric eating its
way through the carbon.-John E.
Bennett in Lippincott's.

GRANTS FATAL DAY.
A Prophecy Which Caused His Family
no End of Worry.

During Grants last year of struggle
between life and death, an event &C.
Cured which caused considerable pain
and anxiety to his family. A profess
sional astrologer had cast the generals
horoscope and had predicted that he
would die on March 81. The predic-
ton worried the family, not because
they believed in it, but because of the
fear that it ould come to the general 5
ears and annoy him. The strictest
watch was kept in order that papers
containing the prophecy should not
come into his possession, but one day
when the family returned to the gen.
erals room after breakfast they found
him intently reading the forecast of
his own fate.
Nothing at all was said about it at
that time Or later, for they wished as
far as possible to keep the generals
mind from dwelling on the thought Of
death, but as the date grew near they
noticed that he asked more frequently
what day Of the month it was. Some
times he asked that question twice on
the same day, and when his son, Ulys-
ses, answered on one occasion, he said:
"You told me that before"
Il know l did, father, but it was
this morning
Il had forgotten it," answered the
general.
The family became more and more
anxious as the day approached, and
when at last it arrived they dreaded
the effect it might possibly have upon
the generals mind. Every one about
his bedside was extremely nervous,
until they suddenly found out that. in-
stead of being anxious about the day
Of his death, his inquiries as to the
date had been owing to the fact that
on that day he was to receive his first
pay as General Grant. He could
scarcely wait until the money came,
and when at last it did arrive he made
it up into rolls, which he passed to his
sons and wife, and kept only $25 for
himself He cared nothing for the
money. 1t was only the comfort that
he knew it would give his loved ones
that made him happy philadelphia

Marriage is curious thing, anyhow,

keeping up the rate of the panic year.
But in the fall of '95 good times struck
