Monroe House to Be Raced.

New York city's march of progress
is about to sacrifice another old land
mark, the famous old brick house on
Prince street in which President
James Monroe, author of the Monroe
doctrine, spent his last days and
where he died, July 4, 1881. The Mon.
roe house, which is two-story, base.
ment and attic structure, was long ago
abandoned to business. A bronze tab.
let, concentrating the achievements
of James Monroe and the dates of his
birth and death, was placed on the
front of the old house last April with
imposing ceremonies. Monroe lived in
the old dwelling when Prince street
was one of the fine residence streets
Of old New York. He resided there
with one of his daughters, Mrs. Sam
uel l.. Gouverneur, with whom he
made his home after the death Of his
wife.

Made a Speedy Recoverv.


On one of the visits of the Amer
ican fleet to English waters, Admiral
Erben, now retired, was in command,
with Capt. Alfred r. Mahan, the
writer on naval affairs, as his flag
captain.
One morning Capt. Mahan came to
his admiral with an invitation to dine
with a duke.
Il can't accept this" said Capt.
Mahan, las they forgot to invite YOU"
II should say you couldn't" growled
the admiral. "Ill answer for YOU"
Whereupon the admiral wrote:
Admiral Erben, U. S. navy, regrets
that Capt. Mahan, his flag captain,
cannot accept the invitation of the
Duke of Blank. Capt. Mahan is on
the sick list"
An hour or so later a messenger
from the duke returned with invita-
tons for the admiral and the captain.
Whereupon the admiral wrote again:
admiral Erben accepts with pleas
ure the invitation for Capt. Mahan and
himself. He wishes also to advise
the Duke of Blank that he has taken
Capt. Mahan off the sick list" New
York Tribune.

Educating Children.

Forcing the youthful mind is a
practice no longer obtaining in schools
of the best standing but not yet OBJ
solete in many of the common
schools. In schools which represent
the dominant ideas of education to-.
day, stimulation, interest, suggestion
prevail, and driving is avoided. If
there has been some leaning toward
the prosaic, there is now a fresh in.
terest in stimulating the emotions,
and full realization of the need of
many things conventionally not class.
ed among the useful, says Golfers
Weekly. The greatest problem of ed
ucation unsolved to-day relates to
girls. Heretofore their education has
been a mere copy of that long ago
established for boys. Some day a
genius will come along and conceive
thoughts that shall form the basis of
an education which shall help girls to
all their best possibilities, without
dissipating their strength on lines of
effort established for patures in some
respects entirely different

The Maiden Love.


The meadows hide their summer green
Under a veil of gray;
A mist rolls oer. the sunny sheen:
1t is drear, dull day!
The dewdrops, tip the blades with beads
That shine like costly gems;
The roses hang their blushing heads
Meath glittering diadems.
But. bark! sound of silver bells,
Echoing Ger the woody dells.
A little laugh, sweet clear voice
Which makes my beating heart rejoice.
She comes. a fairy from above,
A little maid. whose name is Love!
The morning mist now rolls away,
The sky is bathed in light,
A golden sunshine crowns the day.
My loved one is in sight!
The birds sing out their songs again.
The flowers all bloom anew
And music swells in joyous strain
From out the heavenly blue.
She comes. and everything is bright,
She comes amid the golden light,
All nature once again is gay,
1t is the brightest summer day!
She comes-a fairy from above,
A little maiden whose name is Love!

:, !. suit from cutieura Rsmsdies.
About the latter part Of July my
whole body began to itch. did not
take much notice Of It at first, but It
began to get worse all the time. and
then I began to get uneasy and tried
all kinds of baths and other remedies
that were recommended for skin hum
ors; but became worse all the time.
My hair began to fall out and my
scalp itched all the time. Especially
at night, just as soon as I would get
in bed and get warm, my whole body
would begin to itch and my finger
nails would keep it irritated, and it
was not long before I could not rest
night or day. A friend asked me
to try the Cuticura Remedies, and l
did, and the first application helped
me wonderfully. For about four
weeks I would take hot bath every
night and then apply the Cuticura
Ointment to my whole body; and
kept getting better, and by the time
l used four boxes Of Cuticura l was
entirely cured, and my hair stopped
falling out. d. E. Blankenship, 319

Discomfort,

The mail is full Of letters
And the soup is full Of peas.
There's sugar in the coffee
And the yard is full of trees:
The fields are full Of stubble
And there's grass upon the ground
But the world is full Of trouble
If we only look around.
The corn is full of Kernels,
There are lilies in the brooks;
The towns are. full of people,
There are stories in the books:
Fhe orchards full of apples,
And the meadows full of hay
But what troubles we discover
If were only built that way.
The lilac's full of blossoms
And the trees are full of leaves.
The meadows full of clover
And the fields are full of sheayes:
The bread is full of flour
And the rain is damp and wet
But how much there is to fret US
If we really want to fret.
The bees are full Of honey
And the apples full of juice,
The banks are full of money
But-bc happy? What's the use?
The beach is full of pebbles,
There Is water in the creek
But nothing really suits US
If We really want to kick.

the Washington Star. The question
arose why s0me-ef the coins were de.
noted by letters that had nothing at
all to. do with their selling, and there
was not one In. the crowd, though
there were some nominally well-in-
formed people present, who could tell
the significance of the letters till the
question was looked up. It appeared
that the pound sterling mark was
simply capital l.. with a line drawn
across the stem. 1t came from the
Latin word "librae." meaning pound
The I'd" used for the penny came also
from the Latin, meaning "denarius,'
originally a small Roman silver coin,
but later having developed into a
generic term for money and specifi-
cally for small copper coin of in
significant value.
The 'lb" mark, also used for the
avoirdupois pound, came from the
same word "librae" as in Saxon
times the pound avoirdupois was the
same weight as pound sterling of
silver and the shilling was one-twen-
tieth of this, making the old shilling
about three times the size of the
present one.
When it came to the dollar mark,
5, there was more discussion, there
being half dozen explanations for
this sign. But the most likely seemed
to be that it was simply modified

silver reals in the old Spanish dollar,
or piece of eight in use in this
country long before the introduction
of American currency.

you are never asked to sit down. or
when leaving you are never asked to

open the door and walk in without

departure they do so in the same in

yet when you do them kindness
there is no outward sign or expression
Of gratitude at the time.
