Where Emerson Is Buried.

Emerson's body lies in Sleepy Hol-
low cemetery at Concord, which was
purchased by the town in 1855, and
laid out according to plans furnished
by Morris Copeland. A tree bee was
held on April 10, 1885, on which occa-
sion over one hundred trees were set
Oh in single day by the citizens, each
one of whom thus brought his own
memorial. The women of Concord held
two festivals in the same year to raise
money for seats and decorations. Emer-
son delivered the oration at the time
the burying ground was dedicated.
Many of the most marked graves are
on The Ridge. Here lies the body OF
Hawthorne, surrounded BY a low hedge
of arbor vitae. his epitaph being mere
" his own name on white stone. Just
behind is the grave of Thoreau, and
by his side lies the body of his brother
John. On the opposite of The Ridge
path is the grave of Emerson, to which
thousands of visitors come every year,
and which will doubtless be seen by ad-
ditional thousands this centennial
year. A great pine stands near the head
of the grave, which is now marked by
q monument of beautiful pink quartz,
in its native state as it came from the
quarry, and near by are the graves of
mis- mother and his son.-New York
Tribune.

Revolving Fans.

7 noticed something new in electric
fans yesterday, and it struck me as Of
sufficient novelty to mention here. Yor
know that heretofore the wind-makine
contrivance has occupied fixed posi-
ton, with the current always propelled
in one direction. Now this has beer
improved upon, with a sort OF ruddei
attachment projecting from the far
in front. The fan itself is on pivot
AS the current strikes the rudder fin
it causes the whole thing to revolve
slowly, thus distributing the air cur
rent in all directions with each revolu
tion. AS all-round wind TANNERS, how
ever, know some fellows who would
talk revolving fan back the way
it came, but perhaps had better moi
90 into that.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

STABLES OF THE WEALTHY,
Every Convenience and Comfort for
the Horses.

Every Convenience and Comfort for
the Horses.
A glimpse into the interior OF one Oh
the many handsome buildings in New
York set apart for lodging and feeding
horses would delight all lovers of the
intelligent equine The total cost OF
stables which embody up-to-date scien'
tific fittings, sanitary flooring, perfect
ventilation, and correct style, varies
from $4,000 to s150,000. Instead OF
wooden flooring or earth, which is very
injurious to the animals feet, small
bricks are now used, making q stand
ing place that is easily cleaned, and
insureS perfect sanitation. The stalls
are massive and handsome, the sides
being of teakwood with two-inch
dado; the wood extends upward about
four feet, or as high as horse might
be expected to kick under ordinary cir.
cumstances. The oat and water man.
gers are on opposite sides, which is
an advantage, as the animal does not
slop his dry food: the hay ij put IN
division of the manger with a wire
screen over it, so that it can be got
at easily, while undue waste does not
result, as in the days when 1t was
placed in a rack over the horses head,
where it could be pulled down and
trodden under foot.
The doors Of the stall are fitted with
ingenious devices which necessitate
the insertion of the finger and thumb
to open, and the tricky horse is thus
debarred from opening the door and
going for a stroll without as much as
"by your leave" There is a profu-
sion of racks, with FURNISHED brass
fittings, for interchangeable name
letters, brooms, shovels and forks, and
telescope suspensory racks to hold
harnesscleaning tables, with drawers
TO hold polish, chamois and everything
needed to keep things bright and shin
ing.
The New York millionaire takes as
much pride in his stable as in any OF
the principal rooms in his own dwell
ing house. When any new specially

BILE can be improved or made more or
nate lie hastens to test. It's adequacy
He is particular about hiring a
stable groom as he would be in engag-
ing secretary, and the men he picks
out to care for his animals must be
diligent, untiring, progressive and in
telligent. There are at least so stables
between West Fifty-eighth and One
Hundred and Twcnty-Fifth streets
which. are marrels OF comfort and con-
venience. On entering any OF these
the visitor is struck by the neatnes9,
order, and even elegance which per-
vades the place. Plenty of light, fresh
air with no trace of the fumes usually
associated with stables, lofty ceilings,
and animals whose coats shine with
satiny lustre are found in profusion.-

Great Consumer of Ice.

Americans are great consumers OF
ice; it is a luxury in almost every
other part of the globe. The city, in
distinction from the rural districts, is
also a great consumer of ice the year
around, due doubtless to the complete
warming of the modern house and
apartment. In old times many rooms
in every house were unheated in the
winter, and these furnished a natural
cold chest for butter and other things
perishable that needed to be kept cool,
just as the market man usually has a
heatd office in wintor Tor his own con.
venience, but lets his supply benches
remain in the natural temperature. In
the country, and especially in the
south, the people have long habituated
themselves to use wells and caves for
refrigerators.--New York Post.

Origin Of the Name "Puss." !"

A great many years ago the people
Of Egypt, who had many idols, wor-
shipped the cat among others. They
thought she was like the moon, be-
cause she was more active at night,
and because her eyes changed like the
moon, which is sometimes full and at
other times only light crescent, or,
as we say, half moon. Did you ever
notice pussy's eyes change: So they
made an idol with cats head and
named it Pasht! The same name they
gave to the moon, for the word means
the face of the moon.
The word has been changed to
"Pas" and "Pus," and has come at
last to be "Puss," the name most of
us give to the cat. Prss and pussy cat
are pet names for kitty anywhere now.
Whoever thinks of the name as given
to her thousands Of years ago and
people then bowed down and prayed
to her.-Washington Star.

and see! Two children come out OF
the house and cry, "Oh, there's love-
ly butterfly" And they chase the
butterfly creature out across the soft
lawn and into the field beyond, all
spangled with daisies. And the little
girl says, Lets pick the daisies"
So the butterfly rests on big sway
ing blossom, then flies on, on, into
the grove, where the sunshine makes
patchwork on the needles instead of
the needless making the patchwork,
and where a little brook sings to it
SELF But the butterfly loves sunshine
and away it sails over into the blue
berry pasture, and ever SO many chill
dren, picking berries, call, Did you
ever see prettier butterfy?" And
one Of them-O dear!
Tommy started up, forgetting for
the instant that it was only a think
ing trip, and then he really laughed
when he saw the pretty picture but
terfly safe on the scrap book page.
The next picture was a locomotive.
Tommy shut his eyes again.
There were high buildings now, and
the train was going by some back
yards where children played and
clothes were drying in the sun.

The brown eyes opened with a smile
in them.
"My mother has come and wants to
see my little friend Tommy" Miss
Clara was saying. "She has the book

feeling overwhelmed with riches.

wrecks scarce? We fellows wisll
they were! 1t isn't only every wreck
you hear about that happens on rail-
road. In the first place, a wreck with
out loss of human life attracts mighty
little attention nowadays, and SO 1t de-
pends what sort of lives are wiped out
whether newspaper thinks 1t worth
the interest of its readers to print an
account Of the trouble. Smash couple
of tramps on coal train and they don't

"No work on a railroad Is harder
than that of wrecker. And aside from
everything a man is constantly on duty.
If he wants a day off or wants to be
excused from duty for Sunday or for
an evening he must give notice and an
other man must be appointed in his
place. To fail to respond when the
wreck siren blows means discharge
from the crew, unless previously ex-
cused. The wages paid men while on
wrecking duty vary with the different
roads. One railroad pays as much as
SO cents an hour from the time tho
train pulls out to the time 1t is back on
its siding This is tremdous pay for
the wreckers and it stimulates them to
do good work and creates a competi-
tion on the part Of all hands to hold
their appointments and to keep new
men out of them. Frequently the run
to a wreck is long one and for some
hours there is little to do but lounge
lazily and enjoy life. On the way back
there is another breathing spell for
those who are in condition to enjoy 1t.
But why not come out with us some
time when you hear the siren snort and
you can see for once in your life what
work is?"-Philadelphia Public Ledger

The Art of Stills.

The best stills are made to fasten
to the legs, so that the hands and
arms are left free.
Any boy with few tools can make
a good pair of stills in half an hour.
Two plain straight strips of wood,
strong enough to bear his weight will
make the standards; they should be
long enough to reach to the top of
the shoulders when mounted.
For beginner the footpiece should
not be more than IA inches from the
ground--a small boy might do well to
put them lower still, for one finds it
necessary to step of and on a good
many times in learning to stilt.
The footpiece is nailed or screwed
to the standard, from which it pro-
jects at riht angles on the inner side,
just far enough to give a comforta-
BILE rest to the foot. 1t should be sup
jects at right angles on the inner side,
In mounting stills of this kind, rest
the ends on the ground, grasp the
Qauul6S 81 do W Ukih6 lUOh uCuluu
the shoulders, set the left foot in
place and spring up, bringing the
right foot into its rest while in the
air. Hold the. standards close to the
shoulders all the time with the hands
against the hips.
1t is necessary to move forward at
once after mounting, because it is easi-
er to walk than to stand still.
Smooth, hard ground is the thing for
these early exercises.
After a boy can go freely and far
and fast with these stills he may be
graduated into the use of stills that
are strapped firmly to the legs. leav-
ing hands and arms free.
With these the footpiece can be put
three and four feet from the ground
To carry a long light pole will be
a great convenience; it is : help in
fording streams and on rough ground
and for resting. :.
The French peasants in Germany
are the most celebrated stilt walkers
in. the world Stills are as common as
shoes in the marshy country there; and
many a peasant mounts his stills from
the roof of his house in the morning
and does not take them off till he
goes to bed at night-New York Press.

When she permitted me
To teach her fancy swimming,
And thanked me graciously.
It did not stop at diving
And summing on the sand;
I dared to take her driving,
And even squeezed her hand.

My love l might declare,
And look with scornful pity
On all her suitors there.

A CONSTANTLY increasing number OF

It has proven its merits so thoroughly
that even the doctors have overcome their
prejudice against so-called patent medi-

DIR. NJ c. Gee is one of the physicians
who endorse Peruna. In letter written
from 5l3 Jones street, San Francisco, Cal,
he says: =,
"There is a general objection on the part
of the practicing physician to advocate pat

say with pleasure that it has done more for
