A MONUMENT TO MAURY.
The Great Navigator and Ocean
 Geographer.

Harpers Weekly.
 Over in France they are talking of an international memorial to Lieutenant Maury. Before distinguished audience at the Corbonne. in Paris, Professor Ber- geret made the proposal. and a committee has been named to carry it out. This is a bit odd. Lieutenant Maury was an American. So far as we are aware, no one has ever proposed a monument to him over here. He seems to have been rather effectua1ly forgotten. Part of this no doubt Is due to the fact that Lieu tenant Maury was @ Virginian. and when the war broke out forsook the service of the nation to go with his State into "the Lost Cause."s When the fighting had ended, feeling still ran too high to take back into the service a man who was looked upon by the North as a traitor. even though he may have done. as Maury look upon his act with a kindiier eye. Perhaps we may not offer his memory a carven image. for America has not much of a habit of putting up statutes to men of science. Still we may have friendly feeling for France that she should think of honoring thus one of our people, all the more perhaps because we do not seem to think very often of empedestalling French men, such as Pasteur. for exam pie, who nave done something TOT man. kind. Lieutenant Maury's charts, Pro- fesor Bergeret remarked, cut ocean dis. tances in two. He showed that by fol- lowing the winds, rather than making straight for the object port. sailing craft could go across the Atlantic or to Rio Janeiro-anywhere, in fact--in half the time. even though they might sail an immensely greater distance. Professor Bergeret pointed out that steam vessels have not driven out the white-wings. az 1t was expected they would. and five and six-masted schooners are being built right along. For this he gave the larger credit to the American pioneer The saving ia the cost of ocean transporta- ton, due to the use If :he Maury charts was set down at three hundred r1ill'on~
 francs a year. Lieutenant Maury has been dead a quarter of a century. Sup posing American trade has benefited b. a fifth part Of the suni Professor Ber- geret names. and that one per cent of this annual saving of the United States had been set aside each year since Maury's death. that even would have suf- feed to raise him a three or fouri million dollar monument.

 The horses pulled and tugsed at the Dit and tossed their heads impatiently. ThA clanikinx of sword and scabpard began to Hull my mind, and my eyelids began to droop. Through the light gray of the early morning the figures of the troop they swayed rhythmatically with the motion of their mounts. and the low hum of voices came to my ears as rom afar The soft. sucking thud Of the horses the easy mist that hung over the valley. began to send feeling of dfowsinAss over me, and my eyes slowly closed. The world had been shut out from my view of somehtinE riding beside me. something cold and silent. and in moment my eyes few open.
 The men wers just as had last seen them. and for a moment laughed at my sudden fears. But gradually an object. black. silent and mournful. began to spread throughout the troop until there were thousands of them riding amongst us.

BEDsTEAD WORTH A FORTUNE
Charles I. Slept in It and Its Owner
 Refused S125.OO

Cincinnati Comm ercial Tribune. 9L
 There are not many wealthy collectors in Europe who have not tried in vain to buy the magnificent carved oak bed and overhangings belonging to Mr. John Eus- tace. a yeoman farmer. at Elmers Farm house, just outside Upton. This Is one of the most famous beds in the world. and was slept in by Charles l.. and Mir. Eustace has refused sums varying from $75. 900 to s125,00O.
 It even beats in value the two Louis XIV. tables which the Duke of Leeds sold last July for s75.ooc, and is a really splendid piece of work. The King Of Denmark offered the fortunate farmer s90.00o for 1t five years ago, but the best offer was made last year by MT. Para more. the millionaire and connoisseur.
 But 1t Is the owners pride that. ever, during the worst years of depression In farming, when an agriculturist Is the tn- iuckiest of breadwinners, he has been able to point to the famous relic and de. clare that though nearly penniiess he has refused a fortune on an average once q month, and the luck of the heirloom al- ways pulls him around again The bed which is of black oak. and over $50 years old, came out of Bethune Castle 24t yearS ago, and no banking account on earth can buy it. It will remain at Up. ton as long as It's owners family lasts
