THE GRANT SARCOPHAGl.
Twin Resting Places For Ashes OF
General and Wife.

Upon the recent death of Mrs. q. S.
Grant preparations were at once begun
to make ready the empty sarcophagus
which has for several years rested va
cant and waiting beside the one inclos-
ing the ashes of the great general in
the crypt of the big white mausoleum
ON Riverside drive, New York. The
twin sarcophagi are identical in every
way and were taken from the same
quarry.
The story is told that while General
Erant and Mrs. Grant were in Europe
they paid visit to the tomb of Ferdi-
nand and Isabella. The thought Of the
ashes of the royal couple resting side
Ny side through the centuries appealed
to the husband, and, turning to his
wife, he said, Julia, that is the way
we should lie in death"
When the general died, the great cit
les of the nation sought the honor OF
affording his body sepulcher. New
York, however, was the first to offer
without condition resting lisce for
both the general and Mrs. Grant The
offer was accepted, and Mrs. Grant
herself chose the site of the tomb.

"Practical Agricultural"

This is the title of a book by Charles C.
James, NJ. A., Deputy Minister of Agri-
culture for Ontario, formerly Professor
of Chemistry at the Ontario Agricultural
College, with an American edition edited
by John Craig, Professor of Horticulture
in the Iowa Agricultural College,
This excellent book shows how easy.
interesting and practical the teaching of
agriculture in comttfon schools really is.
1t imparts knowledge Of the science of
agriculture as distinct from art-that is, a
knowledge of the why rather than of the
how. This science consists of Gin g
of chemistry, geology, botany, entomol-
ogy, physiology, bacteriology, etc. The
foundation principles of these subjects
have been included and their applications
clearly and suggestiyefy shown
Professor James gives his subject the
broadcast interpretation. Agriculture is
for him the cultivation of the soil for food
pro1ucts and any other useful growths of
the field or garden. 1t includes tillage
with any industry practced by cultiva-
tor of the soil, as breeding, rearing, dairy
ing. etc.
The first part discusses the plant, show.
ing how it grows, what are its needs, and
its structure. This section is not botan
ical treatise-plaDt structure, functions,
classification, etc.-but it is certainly an
excellent preparation for the study OF
botany.
Part II deals in an elementary way
with the soil; its nature, origin, kinds
and treatment, laying the. foundation fol-
enlarged observation and knowledge
Then come the various kinds of crops
weeds, insect enemies, plant diseases, and
the principle of rotation.
The garden, orchard and vineyard offer
abundant material for Part "; live stock
and dairying constitute Part V; while
such subjects as bees, birds, forestry,
roads, and the rural home make up the
final section. y

SAYS Americans BINnhered.

An interesting paper on The Battle Of
Biadensburg' was read Monday evening
at the meeting of the Maryland Histori-
cal Society in Baltimore by Dr.. Albert
X. Hadel, who has contributed much to
the archives of the society. DR.. Hadel
reviewed the events which led up to the
battle, the causes for the defeat of the
American forces and the investigation
which followed
The Doctor said that the blunders on
the part of the Americans in the battle
were 50 appalling as to entirely rob the
British Of whatever glory they claimed
for the victory He dwelt at length up
on the failure of the Congressional In-
vesti gation Committee to call for certain
papers and witnesses and its suppression
of some testim my in order to shield the
Administration from blame. He severe
ly criticised the committees attempt to
lay the blame entirely upon the shoulders
of Gen. William H. Winder, whom he
said was patriotic and coura geous to a
high degree, but who lacked experience
in the field
Dr. Hadel placed the loss of the Ameri.
cans at rs killed and wounded and about
5000 missing, many of whom returned to
their homes. The loss of the enemy, he
sad, is given by the National Intelligent
Ger as 500 killed and wounded and as
many more missing.
