A serious question has arisenin New
Jersey concerning . ~gravestone. It
seems that the relatives of a person
who is. buried in a cemetery at Eliza
beth desire to perpetuate his memory,
in accordance with his express wish,
by placing at the grave a large boulder
which has been brought from his farm
and adorned with a suitable inscrip-
tion. The appearance of the huge
stone is not satisfactory, however, to
some of the neighboring lot owners,
and at their instance the authorities of
the cemetery have refused to allow it
to be placed therein. The rights Of
lot owners in respect to the monuments
which they may erect must depend
upon the particular contract with the
cemetery association, or upon the
statutes OF the State in which the GENE
terry is situated. It is usual for the
proprietary corporation to reserve for
itself the power Of final control in such
matters, and where that power is exer-
cised with discretion there is rarely
any difficulty. There are ,many-ceme-
teries IN which natural boulders have
been erected inso very suitable and
andsoms monuments.

IT'S ODE ABOUT GEESE.
|
h9Rs Can't Stand q Rainstorm When

rhss Can't Stand a Rainstorm When
Thirsty.
"Gede are peculiar" said an old
poultry Xalesman in M>zhattan mar
ket. "PAth~in a rainstorm
when they have a good thirst on, n
they are liable to die. About ten
years ago 1 was engaged by a firm to
go out through the west to buy live
geese and chikens. l bought about ten
carloads, put them in crates, and start
I'd east. The geese were in the crates
nearest the floor of the open car
that's the regular way to ship them
and on top Of them were piled the
chicken crates. We got about ten
niles from St. Joseph, Mo-, when the
load on one Of the cars sagged, and
The whole pile of crates were spilled
On the side Of the track. In pillng the
crates on again the geese were piled
On top. I knew I was taking chances,
because a rainstorm meant death 10
the geese, but there didn't seem to be
any storm in sight, and l thought We
could make St. Joseph and shift the
load there. The train had only gone
a short distance when a storm came
up so suddenly that the rain was fall
ing almost as soon as the clouds were
noticed. The geese had been without
water for some hours, and the moment
they felt the rain they were stretch
Ing their necks through the openings
between the Stats and holding their
bills open to catch the drops. Well,
got an old coat and laid it over as
many OF the crates as it would cover,
so as to save as many as possible. Then
[ got a switch and tried to force the
others to keep their heads inside the
crates. They didn't mind the switch
very much, and l had to give each
n four or five good hits before it
would pull in it's head, and when l
started on a new head the old one
would pop out again. When we got
into st. Joseph 1t was still raining,
and every goose in the crates, with
the exception Of those under the coat,
was dead."-New York Sun.

AN AUTUMN MORNING,

The frost's aglcam in the mellow
dawn,
And the spiders nets are on the lawn
And deep in filmy robes of mist
And anon, as the sun ONE up the sky
The gray clouds turn to amethyst.
The tender song of the waking thrush
Is heard no more in the brooding hush,
Nor linnet's song in the dying trees.
And down where the dodder's skein:
are spread,
The witch-haZel CLEANS in velvet red,
And the sWeetbriar wave in the
breeze.
And wheeling up through the distant
sky,
On their flashing wings the plovers fly,
And over the breast Of the pool
Through haze of the daybreak's at
mosphere,
The cry of IL bittern, sharp and clear.
Comes from the marshes dim and
cool.
And deep in the grasses at Il feet
i he tuncful crickets still sing as sweet
AS in the depths of torrid June;
And Ger the dells and the sleepy
woods,
a reverent hush of stiffness broods
AS morning dreams into the noon.

Leslie's Popular Monthly.

If it be true, as: claimed, that the
long-looked-for new match has been
invented It is news Of great Importance.
An Englishman and a Berlin chemist
have announced the invention Of a
match which will strike anywhere and
Of which phosphorus is not a compo-
nent part. The makers of friction
matches are liable to necrosis, a hor-
rible form Of jaw disease, as a result
of.the use Of phosphorus, andin Europe
large rewards have been offered for a
suitable substitute for this dangerous
substance. It is to be hoped that the
substitute has been found.

Well Done IN Roth s,des.

Private Smelling of the First Illinois
regiment had a peculiar experience
while doing patrol duty on the wharf
at Tampa when General Skaters fore
IS were there. Smoking was prohib-
tied, a big warehouse being near, and
notices were posted on all hands. So
says the Chicago News, which thus
continues the story: The order was
strictly obeyed, as a general thing, but
as Private Smelling was patrolling his
beat he saw a rotund man in full uni
form walking and conversing In an abb
sorbed manner with a gray-moustach-
ed, straight, soldierly-looking gentle
mar dressed plainly in black, and
wearing a straw hat. Both were smok-
ing, and continued to do so in entire
forgetfulness till their path was barred
by a Springfield rifle. "Sirs, you will
have to quit smoking" ordered the
C~hicagoan, a trehor creeping into his
voice as he noted that the man in uni
form had on his shoulders the two
star insignia Of the rank of major-gen-
eral. Eyes, certainly" calmly observ-.
ed the smokers, grinding their weeds
under their heels. First Illinois, I

and with that they passed on.
Smelling Joined his lieutenant a min
ute later and gasped, Say, 1 just ran
a major-general and made him
quit his weed; 1t was Shafter, wasn't
lt?" Yes, that was Shafter, my boy"
said the lieutenant. "and do you know
who that amiable gentleman with him

It is 4 very pretty proposition made
by General Sir Herbert Kitchener that
. college and medical school be estab-
lished at Ktartum, in memory of Cen

of sons Of shelks and other young
men, graduation from which should
qualify one to hold Government posts.
It would cost, he says, 100000; and
he believes the British public would
subscribe it. That is the way war is

According to the census taken in
1922, toward the close of Peter the
Greats reign, Russia contained only
IA, 600, 900 inhabitants, and by 1897
this number had increased almost ten
times, for it now amounts to about
100, 000, 900. According to the calcu-
lations of the statistician, Schneider,
the population of Russia ought in the
year 1000 to amount to 300, 900, OO0,
and that of Germany to 80, 900, 600.
