MAY REST IN NATIVE SOIL.
Dead Civilian Employees of the Army
May BE Disinterred

The Secretary of War has under consid-
GRAFTON project for bringing home the
bodies of all civilian employees of the
army, as well as enlisted men and officers
who died in Cuba. Porto Rico, and the
Philippines. A funeral party is now at
Santiago preparing TO bring back to the
Unitetd States the remains of the
soldier dead buried there cable dis
patch from the quartermaster in charge at
Santiago called attention to the number of
civilian dead buried at that place, and re-
Quested authority to have the bodies sent
on the transport bringing the soldier dead
By doing this, an extra expense, caused by
second trip will be saved.
Secretary Alger had this same subject
before him last summer, and indicated at
the time that the bodies of civilian en-
ployes would surely be brought back to
this country recent investigation at the
War Department shows that Congress made
no provision for the expenditure of money
for the bringing home of any bodies other
than those of enlisted men and officers.
While War Department officials desire
very much to bring back to the United
States the bodies of civilians they fail TO
see under what authority il could be done
No final decision has been reached in the
matter. however, and should the Secre-
tary of War consider that the Department
is without sufficient authority to expend
War Department funds for that purpose.
Congress will be asked to make an ap-
preparation sufficiently large to permit the
Department to bring home the bodies of all
civil employees of the Government who
have lost their lives in Cuba, Porto Rico,
or the Philippines.
1t is believed that the bodies will not
number more than two or three hundred.
On reaching the United States they will
probably be turned over to relatives and
friends for burial

THE MONKEYS OF AMBER.
An Ancient City Which They and n
Few Priests Possess.
(From st. Nicholas Magazine.)

(FrOm ST. Nicholas Magazne.)
The ancient city of amber. in India Is
inhabited only by few priests and thou
sands of monkeys. The hill on which the
old city stands is surrounded by other
high hills. crowned with towers and ram
parts and covered with trees. The great
castle-f fortress stands out boldly The old
zenana, or women's apartments-an en-
tensive block of buildings, surrounded by
courts the only place which is in
habited This is we'll populated and
lively quarter, since a tribe of languor, or
hoonoomaun, monkeys have taken possess
sion and dwell here in comfort and free
dom. The Hindus religiously refrain from
hurting or killing any animal and the
monkeys having no fear are monarchs of
all they choose to take.
The hoonoomaun, or languor, Is the sa-
cred monkey and the largest found in In
dia. Its height is from two and a half to
four feet; its body is singularly slender and
supple; it's face is black and smooth. ex-
cept for long white whiskers; the hair on
the body is grey on the back and white un-
der the stomach; its tail is long and bare,
with a single tuft of hair on the end The
Hindus have a legend which explains its
very black face. 1t says that ages ago
Hoonoomaun, the king of the monkeys.
went to assist Rama in the conquest of
Ceylon. The demon king of the island had
carried off Lita, the wife of Rama. and he
was determined to rescue her. AS they
came near to the island, Hoonoomaun cas-
lily leaped over the Straits, so skillful a
jumper was he, and, finding Lita, he was
comforting her with the news that her hus-
band was approaching, when Ravana, the
demon king. appeared and made Hoonoo-
maun prisoner. After setting fire to the
monkeys long tail he gave him his free
dom that he might return to Rama. Hoo
noomaun succeeded in blowing out the fire
at the end of his tail, but in so doing he
blackened his face and singed his hair in
most unbecoming fashion. The loss of his
beauty so saddened the poor beast that
Rama made all the monkeys of this kind
kalamoukh, or black-faced, which they re-
main to this day.

The South's Great Need.

Secretary Of Agriculture, James
Wilson, in speaking of the needs of
the south, among other things said:
"YOu need pastures more than any
one thing l can think of; good pas
lures, drought-resisting pastures
pastures that always have some
plant at it's best; pastures that last
through the winter; grasses that
shade the soil from the sun in sum-
mer-with legumes that feed the
grasses from the air with nitrogen
that fill the soil with roots to enable
it to resist drought. When you
solve the pasture-question the lands
of tie south will double their yields
of crops of all kinds. The depart
ment of agriculture is bringing gras-
SEES and legumes from all land under
the sun to help in the solution of this
question. Grasses for the rich bot
tom lands, for the thin hillsides, for
the semiarid plains, for sandy soil
and stiff clays, for drifting sands
and rolling prairies, for sea beaches
and river fronts-but especially for
the pasture for feeding the dairy
COW and meat producer.

North Carolina Baptist.
The Soldiers Home in Raleigh is
full. There are many feeble, helpless,
poor boys of the gray over this State
whose last days on earth would be much
frightened by having better place to
dwell. They have been unfortunate in
life or perhaps lost limb of health in
the loyal service of the sixties and
have not the comforts they need. These
wOrnOut veterans will not be with Us
much longer Soon the drum beat will
sound without an answer when it calls
for the braves Of the glorious cause
Whv not help now? Far better than
cold stone to their memory is loving
cup of ministratiOn to their battlewOrn
bodies. Monuments are all we'll in their
place, but not 80 as long as a helpless
old Confederate in the State needs
help The coming Legislature can do
itself great honor by increasing the
appropriation for the soldiers Home.

who responded to the bugle call when
she called for defender? AS they were
once our defenders SO now we are
theirs!
