Reunited Through a Song.

John Uri Lloyd, chemist by profession
and author by avocation, recently told Of
an incident by which he was enabled to
bring together two sisters, separated by
the civil war, who believed each other
dead.
In "Stringtown on the Pike" he repro
duces a scene where, a mere lad, he stood
by the pikeside and watched a troop Of
Morgan's raiders gallop by, singing as
they went, 1.-THE Girl of the Homespun
Dress"
In the book the author used the first
o of the song that was at hand. Inn
mediately he was flooded with letters say
ing that he had misquoted it. Wishing to
be accurate, he published a statement to
the effect that he would pay 500 for the
true copy of the song, This only created
more trouble, as there are many yaria-
tons Of it.
Among those sending what proved to be
the original verses were two sisters, one
of Philadelphia and one of Atlanta, Ga,
who stated that their dead sister, Clara
Belle st. Clair Of Atlanta had written the
song. In answering one of them Mr..
Lloyd mentioned the other sister. He at
once received q reply from her to whom
he had written. stating that she thought
the other sister dead and asking him to
send the address. Mr.. Lloyd did this and
lately learned that they had been reunited
after thirty-fve years Of separation

Tho Drug Habit.

In his inaugural address at the meeting
of the Pharmaceutical society in London
the other day DR.. Luf deprecated the
too general use of powerful drugs in COM
pressed forms now so easily obtained by
the public, a facility which. he remarked,
was responsible to some extent for the
increased practice of self ~drugging- This
was how the cocaine habit came about.
1t was to be regretted hat tie manufac-
turer was largely taking the place OF the
prescriber. which was on 4 par with the
dosing on board ship where there was an
ample medicine chest. hrt no doctor. The
bottles were all duly Numbered. and the
captain carried q book describing the va
rious symptoms which would be abated
by particular medicines. 1t happened
once that a sailor showed indications
which required a dose Of No. 9 mixture,
but the bottle was empty. That does
not NATTER said the captain Give
him equal parts OF no. 4 and No. D."

A Pal. of spcctac1es.

General Ian Hamilton OF the British
army is the hero OF al odd spectacle
story. 1t appears that when n subaltern
he lost a pair of spectacies in the battle
of Majuba Hill. They were apparently
picked up by a Boer whom they suited,
and who kept them for twenty years In
the early part of the present year the
spectacles were found on the body OF a
dead Boer. The case had General Ham

a physician tells his patient that he
must quit the use Of tobacco, as it is de-
stroying his health. The man replies. Il
can stop that habit easy enough" He
quits the use of the weed. He goes
around not knowing what to do with
himself. He cannot add up a column Of
figures; he cannot sleep nights. 1t seems
as if the world had turned upside down.
Where he was kind and obliging he is
scoIding and fretful. The composure that
characterized him has given way to a
fretful restiessness, and he has become a
complete fdget. What power is it that
has rolled a wave of woe over the earth
and shaken a portent in the heavens? He
has quit tobacco. After awhile he says:
Il am going to do as I please. The doc

AZTEC RELICS FOUND AT YALE,
Ornaments of Pure Gold RecOvere
From Rubbish Heap.

From Rubbish Heap.
A special to the New York Times from
New Haven says: An important and curl
Gus discovery was made in the cellar of
Peabody Museum at Yale Monday after
noon. In rubbish heap, ready to be
thrown away were found more than a
hundred Aztec gold ornaments and relics,
used both in households and temples. The
ornaments were packed away in crate.
In turning over a pile Of empty boxes
piled up to be carted away one of the stu
dents lifted a box that was half opened,
and from which number of what seemed
to be brass articles fell out at his feet. The
undergraduate took one Of the pieces to the
laboratory and applied testing acids to the
surface He Immediately discovered that
the article, weighing some ounces, was pure
gold.
1t was then found that the remainder of
the ornaments were also pure gold. The
value intrinsically is very large, and the
value as Aztec relics cannot be estimated.
1ue articles, 1t Is thought, were part of=the
extensive collections made by the late Prof
Marsh and presented to the university.

tinued prosperity of the nation. 1t must
feed its own people and provide e surplus
for the people Of other nations. There are
those now living who will be counted
among the 200. 100000 of people that Will
be citizens and workers upon the soil over
which this department will have super
vision.
The building which is to represent these
colossal interests should. therefore, be the
most interesting and beautiful in the world.
1t should, like other great public buildings,
be constructed for coming centuries to look
upon. Upon grounds surrounding its loca-
tfon should appear, in the open and under
glass, all the possibilities OF horticulture.
These would be object lessons for popular
study and a source of pleasure to thou
sands of visitors that would be drawn To
1t from all parts of the world
l have made these few suggestions be-
cause I take a deep interest in the pros
perity Of Washington. which, as I see it
can be easily made the most interesting and
attractive municipality in existence.
