WHERE LEE RESTED.
Confederate General Went to Montreal
After Surrender.

From the Los Angeles Herald
Edward Eagleton, the comedian of the
Olympia Comic Opera Company, playing at
the Casino. tells a bit of unwritten his
tory about the movements of Gen. Robert
the surrender of the Army of Northern
Virginia at Appomattox Courthouse
Il was only a boy them" says Eagleton,
but 1 can remember when General Lee
came to Montreal to rest after the terrible
struggle which he had just come through.
l didn't know then who he was, but will
never forget him because he lived in one
or my fathers houses and was often at our
mouse. My father and his uncle owned a
block of houses on Metcalf street known as
Roxberough Terrace, numbered from l to
y. We lived In No. and Gen. Lee stopped
at No. g.
He was there for five weeks Just about
the length of time for which l have heard
since he was missing, and none of his best
friends even knew where he was. He often
dropped in to discuss the recent events in
the United States with my father and
every one liked him on account of his dig
nifed, stately and kind ways.
Although he evidently had come without
telling any one in the south of his inten-
lions, he made no secret in Montreal of his
Identity, and he was shown many attentions
and every respect, for his reputation had
preceded him and he was among our heroes
of the hour.
When l grew older used to hear my
father frequently mention the time when
Gen. Lee had been our next-door neighbor,
so he became indelibly impressed on my
memory. l don't suppose many people
know where he was during those weeks out
side of few people who happened to see
him in the neighborhood."

TO KEEP OFF MOSQUITOES.
Pyrethrum Powder Burned on Live
Coal is Effective.

From the Popular Science Monthly
Anyone who is i'll with malaria or yellow
fever should be carefully protected from
mosquitoes, for should a person be bitten
by an anopheIes, the malarial mosquito, or
stegomyla fasciata, the yellow fever mos
quito at this time there would be great
danger that the insects might fly away and
bite someone else and thus spread the d.s-
eases.
Screens for both doors and windows form
the best protection against mosquitoes at
all times; but 1t often happens that the IN
sects get into our houses even though they
are thoroughly screened generally through
some door or window that has been left
open by mistake, or they may gain an en-
trance by coming down an unused chimney
If the flue is allowed to remain open during
the summer ttTne.
A house or room may be cleared or
mosquitoes by burning pyrethrum powder
and allowing the smoke, which is not al all
offensive to most people, thoroughly fill the
room that is under treatment. This smoke
kills or so stupefies the insects that they
will not bite.
Pyrethrum powder is preparation of the
plant pyrethrum roseum, and is sometimes
sold as Persian insect; powder or DalnIa-
ton powder; it can be bought at any drug
store for about IS cents a pound 1t is a
very fine, light powder: and an ounce of 1t
will go long way, making large volume
of smoke
A pyrethrum smudge smoke may be
started by covering live coal, taken from
the kitchen stove, with the powder first
placing the coal upon a small shovel so
that it may be moved about conveniently
without danger of setting anything on fire
The pyrethrum will quicly begin to smolder
and give off dense smoke. All that is
now necessary is to add from time to time
a pinch of the powder as occasion requires,
merely Keeping the smoldering ashes COW
efed SO that the smoke Will continue.

CONVERSATION A LOST ARTp
The Average American Neither Thinks
Clearly Nor Talks Well.
From Men and Women.


On the lost art of conversation an es-
say of length might be written. The ma
jority of US. when we meet in social inter-
course, instead of entertaining ourselves
by exchanging ideas, clothed in choice and
expressive words. chatter on the trivial
tiles of life. with as much animation, and
as little sense. as a company of monkeys
in an African jungle. We talk little of
the latest book. statue or painting, and a
great deal on the latest fashion, accident
or scandal. Even this sort of conversa-
ton Is dying out. and the hostess engages
a musician to amuse her guests, or, more
frequently, has recourse to the gaming
table for her entertainment.
1t is true that the attempt of the average
American to speak clearly, critically and at
length on works of art social or political
situations or the important events of the
day is generally attended by dissatisfaction
to his hearers. and. occasionally, to him
self. We are too indolent or too occupied
with the attaining of material things to
study out problem for ourselves; hence
our opinions are mainly second hand and

proverb. and its wisdom may be applied to

earned wealth. Appearances to the con-

Says Mississippi Leads in Murders.

A dispatch from Meridian. Miss. last night
says: Crime and murder have held sway in
Mississippi this year. For eight months
ending September / there were 500 known
n urders committed In the state, chiefly
among the lower classes of negroes So
common has murder become in almost
every county that law and order organiza-
lions are being formed. Circuit judges in
Mississippi have awakened to the situation
and are denouncing the lax conditions In
a charge to the grand jury, Judge D. N.
Miller said: There has been carnival of
crime through Mississippi this year. 1 took
occasion to keep account of the murders
in Mississippi from January to April Is,
and 200 men were killed in that time, and
the ratio has increased since
I'm murders Mississippi leads the other
states, regardless of population. No peo-
pie can prosper with this carnival of crime
continuing"
Judge Miller assigned as a cause for this
large number of murders murders the fact that the
have spent too much money In gambling
and whisky.
