a A. r. Resolutions.

WHEREAs-The comraders Of Allison Post "a
@. A. r. for nearly twenty years past have
faithfully and regularly obeyed the orders OF
our national and department commanders, and
aimed to carry out their wishes concerning
public observance of Memorial day each Both Of
May, and in q large measure have been sue
cessful in presenting and carrying out annually
program Of profit and interest to the general
public, promoting the true spirit of patriotism
in our community, and keeping ever fresh in
memory the faithful timely services, and mo-
BILE self sacrifice of the brave defenders of the
Gag. who reconsecrated 1t with their life blood,
and established forever the peerless banner Of
our reunited nation, the grandest on the globe,
and,
WHEREAS, this noble and patriotic task has
been a pleasant and willing offering on our
part, performed with comparative ease while
greater numbers and more vigorous manhood,
aided in its successful accomplishment, but
now that our numbers are fast diminishing and
our life journey Is SO frightening as to bring
us near to, or past the turning point OF three
score years, we long for needed rest and
lighter service during the remaining ten years
of our allotted span, II we are spared that long
that we may enjoy in peace and comfort the
closing scenes reflected from our setting sun
Of life, whilei we recount our many blessings
as citizens of such peerless state and nation
as we proudly call our home.
THEREFORE,, REsoLvED,-That from this date
forward we, as comrades, shorten our services
on memorial days to the simpler form of as
sembling at q designated and convenient hour,
and in company with the noble women of the
W. r. O., proceed to the cemeteries, and deco
rate the graves of our fallen comrades with
such floral offerings and short services as may
at the time be deemed best and proper to ex-
press our fondest regard for the cherished men,
DRY OF their lives and their noble sacrifice for
our nations flag.
That we leave the question of a more ex-
tended and popular program on such occasions
each year. entirely to the wish and work Of
our city authorities, public schools, and citi-
zens in general, and should they SO deserve,
will gladly join them in performing our part to
make it success, but not longer to bear the
heat and burden of the day
REsoLvED-That this preamble and resolu-
ion be published in all our county papers.

One of the results of the investiga-
ton of special committee OF the So.
ciety of Arts into the question Of book
binding goes to show that sheepskin
Is often used by bookbinders under
very different names. They found
books bound nominally in Levant mo-
rocco. hard grain morocco. straight
grain morocco, pigskin, calfskin. croco-
ollie and alligator feathers. all of which
on close microscopic examination were
found to be the ordinary common
sheepskin on which had been stamped
the special grains and markings of the
skins they were got up to Initiate. The
committee, however, were satisfied
that in many cases both the book
binders and the librarians had bought
these feathers under the impression
that they were buying the genuine ar
hcle.-London Globe.

FLOWER AND TREE.

Keep begonias where the air is not
too dry. and they will not drop their
leaves.
In watering house plants sufficient
should be given to soak the soil thor
oughly.
A tree is nearly dormant in winter.
especially one that has been lately
transplanted.
Plants in a dormant state require
very little water during the winter,
and an excess will cause decay.
Drenching rosebushes with strong
quassia tea is a good curative OF bugs
and other destructive insects and pests.
To root cuttings quickly fill a saucer
full of sand, into which the slips may
be set. Keep the sand the consistency
of mud.
Never give up a decaying rosebush
until you have tried watering 1t two or
three times week with SCOT tea for a
short time.
Reporting Of plants becomes neces-
sary for two reasons-the plant uses
up the available fertility In the soil
and fills the pots with roots.
To prevent crotched trees from split
ting after they come into bearing twist
and fasten two small limbs together,
and as the stem grows it will prevent
splitting.
Cuttings of quick growing herbace-
Gus plants, like heliotrope, verbena.
phlox. geraniums, root quickly, chrys-
anthemums quickest of all. Choose
cuttings when the plants are most Wig
orous.

RICE WATER NUTRITIOUS.
Curious Way Some British OHacerI
Discovered This Fact.

Curious Way Some British Omcers
Discovered This Fact.
1t is probable that few occidental
forms for diet are aware that in dis
carding the water in which 1t is boiled
they are wasting what Is regarded by
the oriental as the most nutritious part
Of the food. This fact was curiously
proved some years since when de-
tachment of Europeans and native
troops in India found themselves be-
leaguered in fort with insufficient ra-
tons, even of rice. to enable them to
hold out until force could march to
their relief.
1t was when the officers were seri-
ously debating this problem that the
natives approached them with what
was regarded as curious solution of
the difficulty. If, proposed the latter.
the Europeans took all the rice, they,
the natives, would be quite content
with the water In which It was boiled.
The suggestion. in place of any better.
was adopted, when 1t was remarked
that while the Europeans found it diff
6cult to maintain their strength on full
rations of rice the natives lost none of
their stamina by several weeks diet on
the water. When the proposal was
made, the action of the natives was
praised as one Of great devotion to
their superiors, but the sentiment was
somewhat Modified when the discov-
cry was made that the natives were
cutie aware that the principal nourish-
ment lay In. the water.
Since that time Europeans in the orr
ent. following the custom of the ma
tiyes, have given rice water to pa
tients, particularly in cases of cholera,
as last resort when no other food can
be retained In the stomach and usually
with good results. But the natives al
ways value this water so highly that it
Is never thrown away.
In fact. 1t would surprise many cooks
to discover how much may be done
with this apparently worthless stock.
II the rice is cooked in the oriental
fashion-that is, boiled only so long
that each grain comes out Of the pan
separate and not as a sodden mass
the water when strained Off and per-
mitted to cool will become a jelly ap-
preaching the consistency Of blanc
mango. To suit the occidental palate
the water should be favored with an
extract or otherwise the jelly may
have rather an insipid taste.

The common pimpernel, poor mans
weather glass;" has the disadvantage
of being native plant and has been
almost completely expelled from our
flower gardens in favor OF exotics
which are rarer but lack much of be-
ing as pretty. The pimpernel is
charming little flower, which opens
about in the morning and closes late
in the afternoon. but has the remark
able popularity of indicating COM

A woman who has experience with

The Whip Tree.

In the island of Jamaica grows a
tree, with the botanic name Daphne
lagetto. from the branches Of which
native workmen make peculiarly strong
and excellent whips, which have the
handle and lash all of piece. The
handle consists of part Of the stem
retaining the bark. For the lash the
stem is deprived of bark and then split
into strips, which are woven together
in flexible cord six or seven feet In
length. The proper taper is afforded
by detaching more and more Of the
strips as the end of the lash is ap-
preached.

what . Rureau arriIx I..

When parchment was used for writ
ing and when bookbinding was in its
infancy and bound book was costly
luxury, 1t was the custom to place the
book on piece of cloth or a strip Of
wool In order to prevent the binding
from possible damage on the rough
wood of the table. Those who had to
deal with money also had a strip Of
cloth ON the table or counter so that
the coins should not roll. This strip
was called bureau"
In course of time the custom chang
ed, and the same word was applied to
the writing table covered with green
or other colored cloth and at length de-
scended to the modern table with the
center protected by leather. As an Of

bles it is not difficult to understand
that the name should, In one country,

A Queer MARRIAGE Custom.

In the Loo Choo islands there are
some curious marriage customs. One
consists in the bridegroom going round
to all his friends houses and permit
ting them to dress him up in any ride
ulous style that they fancy. Some
times the happy man is arrayed in a
gayly painted kimono, the sleeves Of
which are tied up with string laden
with bells. toys and trumpets. A mask
is then put on and red hat, the rig
out" being completed by an empty ker-
osene tin, which rattles noisily along as
he walks, accompanied generally by a
crowd of children.

WITH Ak AND BLOCK.
Criminal Executions In Prussia Sti1l
Performed by the Headsman.

uy inc 1nehuh"ahs
Seventeenth century methods still
prevail in Prussia In the matter Of the
execution of criminals. The man SEN
fenced there to suffer capital punish
ment is led to the fatal block, and his
head is chopped Off with identically the
same sort of ak as that which was
used to put n period to the career of
Charles l. in the Tower of London on
that Hateful Both of January 252 years
ago. Practically the only difference
between the twentieth century execu-'
ton and that of the time of Cromwell
is that the condemned is not put to
death publicly.
In many parts Of the German empire
the guillotine has taken the place Of
the gallows and the block, but in Prus.
STA old fashioned justice clings tena.
ciously to the old fashions, and not
the EQpe nor the automatic knife nor
go srsS electricity has been able to
dlspfdce the UToadax as rne laws OFF,
cial implement Of death. The only
concession made to modern sentiment
is In the garb of the executioner.
1hAS luuCAiOhdTy uOee uOt, as IN tue
earlier times, dress in doublet and hose
and hide his ensanguined identity be-
hind frightsome mask. Instead, he
appears at the execution CARRIED in a
frock coat Of somber hue and correct
cut, and he wears upon his head, even
when delivering the death stroke, a tall
silk hat His three assistants are sim
ilarly attired.
Why this garb was chosen no one
can say authoritatively. 1t is one of
those things the origin OF which ap-
pears to have been forgotten with the
originators But 1t is the lawful cos
tune. prescribed in the regulations,
which apply also to the twelve civil
ian witnesses who must attend an ex- ,
ecution, with the result that stranger
witness is unable to say until the ak
has fallen which of the other fifteen

grouped about him is the man who
lives by death.-New York Press.
