Congress Urged to Honor the Memory
 of the City's Designer.
 Boston Herald.
 Maj Charles Pierre rEnfant, the French engineer who designed the plan of the city of Washington. is buried near Washington. His grave is undistingutshed by any suitable mon ument. Congress made an appropria- tions of $500 to be expended, we be- lieye, under authority of the commis- sioners of the District of Columbia, for a suitable memorial. A plan to disinter the body and remove 1t to one of the Washington parks and build a monument over it was aban- doned because 1t was thought best not to set an example of graves in the parks. Then the scheme was to build a monument over the present resting place of the body. This is in private grounds, the owner of which, a Wash ington lady now living abroad, refuses to consent to allow a monument to be built there, or to make the spot accessible to the public. Nothing more can be done until Congress takes fur ther action. If the owner of the prop erty persist in her present mind, 1t may be that the best that can be done will be to erect a memorial In one of the city's parks, leaving the grave where it is. The noble plan of a cap ital city which he designed, partly on the model of Versailles, is justIfyinE itself year by year with the growth of Washington. He deserves to be honored on the ground.

It is said that in a thunderstorm the middle of room is much the saf- est place in house. A carpeted floor, or one covered with a thick rug, is better to stand on than bare wood. It is well to keep away from chimneys and out of cellars. In the open air tall trees are dangerous. If lightning strikes in the immediate vi- cinity 1t will hit the high trees, as a rule, with few exceptions. Water is a very good conductor, and it is well therefore to avoid the banks of streams in a thunderstorm.

There Is a yacht club you can join for a nominal sum and boating and fishing to your hearts delight.
 You may say what you like about the beauties of the Jersey shore. It's charms are spoiled for me by the fact that you have to get on a train when ever you want a sail. The sea that beats on the Jersey coast is a cruel, hungry monster ready to engulf you If you venture on it with a sailboat, a sea whose sitting sands and terrible storms make 1t impossible to have any sort of an anchorage for boats, so the resi- dents along the waters edge admire 1t from their piazzas and leave 1t alone. But give me a bay like this one here, with its mild little blue wavelets danc- ing in the sunshine and a dozen white boats riding at anchor, inviting you to come aboard. .-.
 Beside this pleasant sunny shore Is the anchorage of the fleet, and the off1- cers of Uncle Sans navy are about as much fun as 1t is possible to find on q summers day, or on a mooniit even- ing for the matter of that.
 l had a funny experience yesterday afternoon had been travelling all night and I was completely exhausted, so lay down on the bed for nap. I awoke suddenly to behold the clerk of the hotel and bell boy standing at the foot of the bed surveying me with absolute horror on their faces. When [ finally demanded what was the matter they gave a sigh of relief. This is what had happened: Some one had sent me hat by express, and the bell boy had come up with It. He appeared suddenly in my sister-in-law's room downstairs with a pale face and very Frightened eyes Say, ma'am," he cried, "the lady in room fourteen Is dead! First pounded on the door. an then I yelled. an then went in an, pounded on the footboard of the bed! An she didn't move an inch!"
 And that is strictly the truth. It was only in response to the combined ef- forts of the hotel clerk and the bell boy. both speaking at once and implor- ing me to awake, that I came to a con sciousness of the world around mo and indignantly ordered them to go out and close the door.

Augustus Edmond Johnstom3 Died Au-
 guaf 2Sth.
 The home of Mir. and Mrs. E. D. Johnston of 59 Bell Street was made sad on Aug. 2S, 3:10' o'clock, when their little son, Baby Edmond, was taken up into the arms of the Good Shepherd.
 He was a noble. bright. happy little fellow and during his short visit of two years and ten months to this earth had wound himself into the heart strings of all who knew him.
 The little fellow fingered only a few days when God took him. Every attention was given him and the best of medical aid was secured. But 1t was beyond the powers of man to heal him. Whilst he came as a ray off Heavens own sunshine, into the home to cheer, gladden. and comfort. The Good Master could not spare him longer and amidst our tears and prayers and sorrow we heard his gentle voice. Suffer the little children to come into me and forbid them not, for such is the Kingdom of Heaven"
 May the fond parents and loved ones, still hear the prattle of his sweet baby voice from the shining shores and by the help of the Lord with David of old say He shall not return to me, but I shall go to him."
 The loss was more keenly felt in that, about two and half months ago. their infant baby, Laura Ellen was taken. leaving them now only one. May God comfort the hearts of loved ones and strengthen them to the bear ing of their burdens in their irreparable loss.
