For Those who Rest.

So. my friends, we dedicate this beautiful
monument to the memory of the brave union
soldiers and sailors who lie beneath its shad-
ow and those who in the years to come shall
be brought to this quiet resting-place. There
are no roll calls here. They rest from their
labors. There is no language to express ade-
quately the debt we owe to the men who
died for their country and for US.
Comrades. We have seen the sun rise, we
have seen 1t In the meridian and in the west
ern horizon. We have climbed the hill to the
summit and are slowly going down the far
ther side. AS the fires burn low, and the
heartbeat grows weaker, I pray that the
memory Of the work you did in the years long
gone for the land we all love may fill the
evening OF your lives with Joy and peace.

Consul Mckinley reports to the State
Department from Athens: "The Greek
health authorities require that all
trunks, packages, ETC., the personal
baggage of travellers, when unaccom-
panied by their owners, must, on ar
rival at any port in Greece, be accom-
panied by certificate of origin or a
certificate from the health authorities
of the port from which the baggage
was shiplNd to Greece. AS ignorance
of the foregoing rule has caused many
American travellers delay and trouble
in regaining possession of such bag
gage, and as thousands of Americans
annually visit Athens and others parts
of Greece, this information should be
published widely in order that they
may come prepared with the necessary
certificates to release their baggage
without delay.-The Express Gazette.

In the relaying of street railway
tracks with heavy modern rails the
question of the disposition of the old
rails has been a troublesome one.
Usually the only recourse has been to
sell them for what they would bring
as SCRAP. Recently. however, an at
tempt has been made to re-roll these
rails into I-beam shape, and so utilize
them as steel ties. 1t is reported in
the Street Railway Review that on
short section of track thus laid, near
Sandusky, O., the results have been SO
satisfactory as to warrant further
tests on an extensive scale In run
ming the old rails through the rolling
mills the head is flattened out about
five inches wide. and the bottom
flange to about eight inches. Fortu-
nately the old Trails adapt them
selves very nicely to this particular
plan giving an I-beam shape when so
rolled, about threeinches deep. 1t is be-
lieved that after service of 25 or 80
years in the capacity Of steel ties thew
will be worth as much for scrap as
they are today. The new rails ere
fastened to the steel tie by clips Of
ordinary form. held by bolts passed
through the upper aange from below

"Old-Home week" meetings in New
Hampshire, in addition to cultivating
sentiment and Fellowship, have
had decidedly practical result. They
have been, according to a report of the
State Board of Agriculture, of mate
rial aid in promoting the interests of
towns and the purchase of many es-
tates by former residents Of New
Hampshire The so-called abandoned
farms are much fewer in number. Re-
turns from 1856 towns show that $40
farms, or parts of farms, are now
held as summer homes, being occupied
n part of the year by about 1900 peo-
pie Permanent Improvements on
these farms since their purchase by
the present owners are estimated TO
have cost nearly $2,000000 This is
business in New Hampshire, the impe-
tus given to it by "Old- Home week.
meetings having led to the erection OF
new hotels and boarding houses, the
enlargement of farmhouses for the en-.
tertainment OF summer guests. the
betterment of roads and q general fur.
bishing of rural surroundings.

This is not a Russian sable skin. It
is a red fox, and thereby, so to speak,
hangs a tale"
The customer asked that it be un-

"In New York City," responded the
salesman, "lives a furrier. who, know

years and years to find dye that
would transform q red fox skin into

went. All his efforts were nugatory
and void. as the lawyers say, but he
would not give up the search. One
day, less than two years ago, he was
busy over his dye pots seeking the
elusive alchemy. He thought this
time he had It sure. but he was dis
appointed once more. and, | am
sorry to say, he lost his temper and
acted in most unseemly manner. He
held in his hand bottle with a chem
ical of some kind in it that he had
intended using in some other dyes
that he did know about. and in his
violence he knocked the bottle against
a box and broke its neck. This made
him madder than ever, and with bad
word he hurled the broken bottle and
it's remaining contents into the disap-
pointing dye pot. Then he left the
place, and when he came back, much
cooler in mind. behold. there was that
in the dye pot which caused his spe-

and he hastened to try strip Of fur
in it. When the fur was taken out it
was no longer red fox. Neither was it
quite Russian sable. but it was on the
way, and after q little experimenting
with the unexpected chemical he hit
upon the right thing, and the secret
was his. Today he is converting red
fox skins into Russian sable for 1900
firms in all parts Of the world, and it
is needless to say he is not getting
poor at it, Russian sable is beauti-
full and expensive fur but this imita-
ton is quite as effective for three or
four years as the genuine thing, and
doesn't cost anything like as much.
Cheaper furs that look as well while
they last as expensive ones are more
satisfactory anyway to the majority
of purchasers, because styles change
and people want something new once
in a while if they can afford it."
