The Decoration Of Heroes Graves IL
Always ProfuSe and
beautiful.

The floral displays are always mag
nificent in the larger cities, and espe-
cially is this true Of Richmond, says
Landon Knight, i'm Woman's Home
Companion. In historic old Hollywood
lies the gallant and beloved Stuart,
who fell on the field of Yellow Tay-
ern. seven miles away, saving Rich
mond for the time, and who died
major general at the age OF 81.
There, too, where the old oaks and
elms are swathed in ivy and mantled
with mistletoe, and Vulnerable birds
throughout the year pay their tribute
of song to the dead, sleeps the old
cavalier Pickett, and hard by are
the sepulchers OF many Others scarce
ly less distinguished. On this day
their admirers from all over the
country come TO lay wreaths of flow
ers upon their graves. There also,
upon lofty eminence overlooking
the falls of the james, rests the
president OF the confederate states,
and by his side the Daughter OF the
Confederacy," whom not only the
south, but the whole country loved
and mourned. And on Memorial day
flowers from the hills OF Vermont
commingle over her grave with those
from the plains of Texas and the
land OF the setting sun as a tribute
to her worth and in attestation of a
reunited country.

TO CAN TREE ANTS.
Insects Found In the woods Of the
Northwest May lie Puf Up as
COndiment.

"Some enterprising dealer in canned
goods could make small fortune"
said visiting lumberman, reports
the New Orleans Times-Democrat,
"by going into the northwest and
putting up tree ants as n condiment.
No. I'm not joking" ne continued,
"and what's more, the product would
need no introduction TO the people
of that region. All through the lum-
Der districts of Minnesota and Wis
consin ants are regarded as n great
delicacy, and the only trouble is that
they can't get enough of them. /
don't know why il Is, but men who do
hard manual labor in cold climates
acquire a strong craving for some
thing sour, and the big, brawny
choppers and transfers found out
long ago that ants were palatablc
substitute for pickles. They use only
peculiar variety, large and red in
color and found in immense quanti-
ties under the bark OF dead trees.
II is not very hard 20 collect quart

scalding they are spread on a board
and dried in the sun. When ready to

der and have a very agreeable, aro-
matte smell.

scribe exactly how they taste. but
the general favor would remind you
OF some fine fruit vinegar. and il you

tnrc Of the dish IL doesn't take you

RISEN FROM ITS RUINS.
Rapid Recovery OF the City Of CAL
weston from the Terrible Wreck
Ing ~ Sustained.

Perhaps no more remarkable in
stance OF rapid recovery from almost
total wreck was ever known than
that Of Galveston, destroyed in the
terrible food Of last September. Its
dwelling houses had been swept
away, and many Of its most noted
substantial commercial buildings
were injured beyond repair. Seven
teen million dollars worth of its
property was wasted at a stroke. and
5000 of It's inhabitants were slain.
Yet the hapless island town found
courage after the storm, and de-
termined TO live says Youths Com
paniOn.
In seven days the railway bridge 10
the mainland, broken by the furious
sea, was repaired and open TO travel,
and less than six months after the
disaster not only all the railway
tracks, but the wharves. elevators
and warehouses had been rebuilt,
larger and better and more in num-
her than before; and the surviving
islanders are housed in more than q
thousand comfortable dwellings.
The terrible relics of the Septem-
her tragedy have been cleared away.
and industry, trade and hopeful ac-
tiyity Of every kind are once more
making busy days. a nations sym
patty and contributions have helped
the people, but no less the brave,
swift rally Of this stricken city is a
notable example OF American re-
operative energy and pluck. II gives
the lie 10 the proverbial inertia OF
southlanders.
Plans for the future safety OF the
island are already forming and will
be put into effect ms soon as the more
immediate needs are provided for.
A sea wall may be built, or more
probably, a general filing in of the
land, raising the surface five or six
feet, will place the new city beyond
the reach of food from the gulf.

severe Tests Imposed Upon Their
wouid-Bc suitors by the Girls
of madagascar.

Among the Arabs of Upper Egypt
the youth who proposes to girl must
submit TO whipping at the hands
OF all her male relatives; and. says a
dry narrator, "if he wishes To be con-
sidered worth having. he must re-
ceiye the chastisement, whicn is
sometimes exceedingly severe, with
an expression Of enjoyment"
Not infrequently IL is the maiden
herself who imposes the test, says
Chambers Journal. The Sakalaya
girls, Of Madagascar make their low
ers stand at a short distance from a
clever spear throwcr and catch be-
tween the arm and side every weap-
on flung at them. If the youth dis
plays fear or fails 70 catch the spear,
he is ANONYMOUSLY rejected; but il
there be no h,nching and the spears
are caught. He is at once proclaimed
an accepted lover"
Worse than this is the trial en-
forced upon their suitors by the Dom
golowee girls. When in doubt as TO
the respective merits Of two rivals,
the young lady fastens sharply
pointed knife 10 each elbow, then,
seating herself between her lovers,
she drives the blades slowly into
their thighs; and the hero who takes
the greatest length of steel without
n murmur wins the BRIDE.
Mai. Mitchell, in his Expeditions
Into the Interior of Eastern Aus
tralia," says OF the natives on the
River Darling, that all their ideas of
fighting are associated with the pos
session of gins or wives, and that
after battle the wives do not al
ways follow their fugitive husbands
from the field, but frequently go
over. as n matter of course, 10 the
victors." "None but the brave de-
serve the fair" is a maxim well un-
derstood of most barbaric races.

Old Ben, an ambulance horse, who
