of American merchants. In two years
he was admitted to partnership, which
he found so profitable that in 1866 he
returned to New York with the inten-
ton of retiring from business. He
changed his mind, however, and estab-
lished his big shipping concern, also
taking up financial ventures and be-
coming interested in politics. He was
elected mayor in 1881 and again in
1885, and in 1890 his firm effected the
settlement of the $40,0O0,000 debt of
the Peruvian government. Mr.. Grace
was a director in several large corpo-
rations, including the Lincoln Nation
al bank and the New York Life In.
surance company. He was Roman
Catholic and contributed largely to
church funds. 1t is estimated that the
fortune left by Mr.. Grace amounts to
$40 100000 or more.

'Oh, no." the presiding officer re-

There was nothing for it but to talk,

grafton. After he had finished the
presiding officer said:

Archbishop Ryan's Wit.

upon by a priest who said his health
required that he take vacation. The
priests frequent absences from his
parish were notorious, SO the arch
bishop said to him: "My dear Father
Soandso, if you need change Of air
would suggest that you try the air
Of your own parish for month or
two" At another time the archbishop
rebuked priest for wearing a dis
reputable-looking silk hat. "But I
would not give up that hat for twenty
new ones" said the priest. ut be-
longed to my father, who fell in the
rising of 49," "Ah," was the arch
bishops retort, "and evidently he fell

Is YOUTHFUL AT SEVENTY.
Lessons in Life of President Eliot OF
Harvard.

President Eliot of Harvard, who has
just turned 70, is fine example of
what wholesome observance Of laws
Of health will do for the physical man.
He walks from six to ten miles every
day and whenever possible takes a
long bicycle ride before breakfast. To
this, with regularity in eating and
sleeping. he attributes his splendid
physical and mental condition. DR..
Eliot is the Oldest college president in
America, having been at the head of
Harvard for thirty-five years. 1t is
due chiefly to his exertions that the
university has been brought from a
small collection of struggling build
ings to stupendous college of impos-
ing structures; from narrow-minded,
dogmatic school to one Of the most
liberal and broad-minded institutions
Of learning In the world.

statesmen charged with saving the
United States from drifting to de-
struction, you must see--you certain
ly do see-that if the present mad
Drained policy of the administration
is pursued for few months longer
aye, even for a few weeks"
But, don't you see,' interrupted
the other, don't you see-you GER
tainly can and must see-that the
question of economics centers into
the policy so largely that -"

the snowballs out of their ears and
hurried around the nearest corner and
left Uncle Sam to sink or swim and
the country to float or drown.

French Woman's Return to Life Was

French Woman's Return to Life Was
for Brief Period.
A queer story comes from Portes,
near Valence, in the Department OF
Gers, where an old maiden lady named
Clementine fell into a cataleptic
trance so profound that her neigh
bors made preparations for her in
terment.
Clementine was laid out in her best
dress; candles were lit and placed
near her, and crucifix and piece of
lockwood were placed at the foot of
the bed.
The de Profundis" was being in
toned by the priests when suddenly
the dead woman sat up on the bed.
She looked wildly round her, and
then got down and walked round the
room.
1t is difficult to say whether the de-
ceased or the neighbors were fright
ened the more, but Clementine was
so panic-stricken that she leaped out
of the window and was killed on the
spot.
On the following day invitations
were issued for a second funeral, but
those who had been invited to the first
ceremony excused themselves from
attending on the plea that their nerves
were not equal to the occasion.-Lon-

At even when the roseate deeps
OF daylight dim from heavens bars.
The Soul her earthworn garments slips
And naked stands beneath the stars;
And there unto that river vast,
That mighty tide of night, whose girth
with splendid planets Drumming past,
Doth wash the ancient rim of earth;
She comes and plunges in; and laves
Her WEAKNESS in that vast tide
That life-renewing deep, whose waves
Are wide as night is wide.
Then from the pure translucent flow
Of that unplumbed, invigorate sea,
Godlike in Truths white spirit-glow,
She stands unshamed and free.
