ODD HISTORY IN OFFICIAL FILES.

There is some queer history locked up IN tho
files of the various government departments. A
few days ago the appointment clerk of the treas
ury department unearthed a letter written by
Horace Greeley in 1865 recommending Cornelius
Vanderbilt for appointment as a member of tho
cotton claims commission.
The photographer OF the treasury department
has a negative made of Gen. Grant when the lat-
ter was beardless. IL requires a second look tn

soldier.

PASSING OF A NOTABLE CAPITAL FIGURE.

In the death of Col. lsaac II. Hill, known for
generations back as IKE Hill, of Ohio" the house
of representatives has lost its most unique char
acter. Col. Hill had been a unique figure in
national and Ohio politics for two decades. Al
ways a stanch Democrat, he associated himself
actively with it's party history, more especially
in his home state. For years his peculiar per-
sonalty of form and vernacular have impressed
the delegates to nearly every party convention,
both national and state. He came to Washington
originally when John G. Thompson, of Columbus,
was made sergeant-at-arms of the house of rep
resentatives, and has been attached in some
capacity to the lower branch of congress ever
since.
Many are the stories that have been printed
about Ike" Hin. In fact, so constantly has he
been in the public eye that there are really few

TOO FEW SEEM TO KNOW HOW
TO KEEP WELL.
Art That Is Worth studylas-Prin.
ciples Are Very Simple and Can
BE Told in Few Words-6e-
ware Of Worry.
BY MARGARET e. sANesrEs.

BY MARGARET z. SANGSTER.
Considering the trouble we all take
about getting well when we are i'll. 1t
Is extraordinary that some of us take
SO little pains to keep well.
The latest theory OF science is OPP
posed to a common belief hat some
people are born we'll and others BORN
Ill. The babe in the hut aud the
babe in the palace each arrives in the
world with a certain capital stock on
which he may draw. Whether we ac-
cept this or deny It, the probability is
that most of us could keep we'll after
childhood If only we knew how. We
play with our health as a boy plays
at marbles. We take risks, we do
foolish things, we leave undone things
that we plainly ought to do. Every
body has seen, for instance, the fri
tenure of life held by an invalid Who
is always looking out and protecting
herself from peril; such an invalid
often outlives care-takers who are
strong n %neighbors who are over
flowing with robust vitality. We have
seen, too, a man of active tempera-
ment, brisk and impulsive and full of
business, have marked him as one who
has long life before him. and have
presently been Mortified when he falls
exhausted by the way. He did not
know how to keep well.
The art of keeping well is worth
studying. Its principles are very sim
pie. Nothing particularly occult or
particularly puzzling belongs to 1t
They who wish to keep well must be-
ware not of draughts, not of fresh air,
Not of sunshine, or rain, but primarily
must avoid too great fatigue. The nor
nal human being who is in good
health is able to endure a certain
amount of strain and TO carry a GER
tain amount of weight.
It is not doing the days work that
tells upon health and brings it to the
breaking point; it is doing the bit too
much that in the end causes WEAKNESS
of mind and body and makes a person
what is called rundown. To be run
down in nerves or in strength Is per-
ilous.
Il TOOL cold when I was tired" is a
common expression ana describes u
common experience. Don't get tired
and you won't take cold.
Another prescription for keeping
well is eliminate worry. Worried peo-
pie are very seldom well people. Wor-
ry frets mind and body as moth frets
the fabric of a beautiful garment.
Worry corrodes the soul as rust cor
Todes metal. From all sides comes
the protest. ut is easy enough to say
don't worry, but how is one to help it,
if he be of a worrying disposition or if
things are contrary"
Days dawn with frowning faces and
through all their course they seem to
bring nothing but disaster. d~isappoint-
ment and defeat. Nothing goes right
from morning till night. The letter
you expected does not come. the bar
gain you hoped for falls to pieces and
the money you counted on is delayed.
