PIGS MADE-To WORK.
in France They Root: Out TruffIes fo,
the Gardener.

All boys know that a dog is. a grea,
aid to the sportsman, but not many Of
them would think that a pig could be
OF much use in. hunting. Yet in
France pigs are used in hunting
truttles. delicacy for the table which
is found at the roots Of oak trees.
When farmer decides TO go hunt
ing for 1rufles he, takes his pig and
piggie goes shifting about With his
nose to the ground just as a dog does
when he follows th4 scent. When he
finds truffles he begins to burrow in
the loose soil with his. snout. Before
he can take the rnffle, however, the
farmer pulls. him away, but gives him
few acorns by way OF compensation
AS soon as he has eaten the acorns
Mr.. Pig goes to work hunting more
truffles. Sometimes he will find sew
cral pounds OF them beneath tree.

ORIGIN OF MEMORIAL DAY.
Rufus P. Parrish of kewanee Urqed
Commemoration of the Dead.

SOEnFaehCfSllOn or the DEAD.
Memorial day originated With q ma.
who was recently followed to the
grave at kewanee. ILL.,. by one of the
largest throngs of old soldiers that
ever attended a funeral in town of
like size.
Tie name of this man was Rufus r
Parrish and it is admitted that a let
ter he wrote to Senator John a. Logan
was chiefly instrumental in the action
Of congress in establishing a day on
which throughout the nation graves of
the union dead should be strewn with
flowers and their brave acts commem.
Grated
1t is a matter of history that the
custom OF decorating graves of sol
diers was commenced in kewanee in
1863. FIVE years before Senator Logan
secured the action of congress a1,-
pointing memorial day. 1t is known
that Mr.. Parrish. who had always
taken the greatest interest in this OBJ
servance. wrote an urgent letter to
Senator Logan. urging him to take in
to serious consideration legislation
that would set aside day on which
ell could join in memorial services.
Aside from the interest that Mr. Par.
rlsh took in such patriotic movements
he had very interesting history. His
grandfather on his mothers side car
rled f1int-locll musket in the revoIu-
tionary war. and the father. of his faith
er was recruiting officer in the war
of 1872. He was one Of fifteen men to
organize the first Y. NJ e.. A. in the
United States. During the war of the
rebellion and before he was an out
spoken abolitionist and figured promi-
nently in underground railroad work
by which slaves escaped to Canada.
He was in the forefront Of nearly ev.
cry movement Of enlightenment of the
community serving to foster libraries
and lectures.
Mr.. Parrish was born in New Hamp.
shire about eighty-seven years ago and
came to Illinois in April, 1855. He is
survived by his faithful wife, with
whom he dwe1t in wedlock for the un.
usual term of sixty-four years.

CHEMICAL ALCOHOL is CHEAP
New Process Which Decreases Great.
Iv the Cost of Produetion


Adyices received by the State De
oartment at Washington from United
States Consul Haynes at Rouen.
France. throw more light on the new
process that has been discovered by
which alcohol may be produced by
chemical synthesis. 1t is predicted
that the cost of such production can
5e reduced 10 less than 10 cents a. gal
on. Thus far the cheapest alcohol
produced has cost nearly 20 cents .
gallon. At this price Germany pro.
duces quantities of alcohol, potatoes
being used as the vegetable base. BY
the French process no vegetable mat
ter is employed. From Carburet OF
>alcium-a direct combination OF car
BON and hydrogen in the electric arc
-aetylene is obtained. Sufficien
hydrogen then is added to produce
ethylene, and by combining water
with ethylene alcohol is obtained.
While the cost of alcohol by the new
process has not yet been reduced
much below its cost as produced from
vegetable matter. it is predicted with
confidence by eminent French chem.
lists that in the near future it may hs
produced by the new process at q
cost of about half that which Germany
nays to obtain it from potatoes.-

OYSTER BAY, Aug. Ex-senator and
Mrs. Kearns of Utah and Henry l. Stod-

President Roosevelt was the recipient Of
Mrs ~Kearns' hospitality when he visited
Salt Lake City on kis recent Western
trip, and, few days ago learning that
she was in New York with her husband.
sent her an invitation in Mrs. Roose-
velt's name to visit Sycamore Hill after
the naval maneuvers.
During the afternoon the President re-
ceived calls from L. y. HammerIing and
committee from .WiIkesbarre, Pa.
Charles R. Skinner and John A. Sleicher,
of New York, and II. II. KohIsaat, of
Chicago. Mr. Kohlsaat gave the Presi-
dent an insigh. into the political situa-
tion Of Chicago as it appears through the
eyes OF his faction. He also wished to
tell the President few things about
Billy" Lorjmer's bossism and Governor
Yates Vice Presidential candidacy.
President Roosevelt has not yet de-
cided whether he viii attend any of the
yacht races. He viii not be present at
the first contest, in any event. and If he
goes at all, will probably wait until to-
ward the close of the series.
Secretary Barnes denied this morning
that the President had sent orders TO
Secretary Cortelyou to make an investi-
cation into the alleged discrimination
against non-union employees OF the Gov
ernment Printing OfIlce. Such an inves-
tigation, If 1t were made, would come
under the Civil Service Commission, and
would not be referred to the Secretary
at all. The President has not taken any
hand in Printing Office matters since the
closing Of the Miller incident.
