Bethel White Granite Chosen.

Bethel white granite scores again.
The E. B. Ellis Granite company OF
Mortified has just closed a contract to
cut the granite for the building for the
First National bank of Albany, N. Y,
and the work will be commenced soon.
Marcus T. Reynold of Albany is the
architect and the Bethel white granite
was chosen in preference to marble or
any other granite because of its superb
GRITTY Mortified News.

An Epitaph Used by Mark Twain.

Mistaken reference is so often made to
what is termed the 'epitaph written by
Mark Twain for his wife" that it IS
worth while to set the matter straight.
The epitaph referred to was not placed
upon the tombstone of Mr.. Clemens
wife, but upon that of his daughter
Susie. 1t was not original with Mark
Twain, but was taken by him from a
little poems written some Is years ago
by an Australian poet named Robert
Richardson. 1t appeared in book of
poems by Richardson, which was pub
lished- in Edinburgh, in 1898, under the
title of Willow and Wattles.
The verse used as the epitaph is as fol-
lows:
Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light
. Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night"

of the actual author of it carved upon
the stone.

GOLD MINING NEAR HONE.
Mountains Near Washington All Have
Some Precious Ores.

Gold Is mined within sight of Wash.
the capital are part of the Appa.
lachian system and before the out
break of the gold fever in California
all the gold produced in the United
States came out of the Appalachian
mines.
Only the ores that contained free
milling gold could be worked with the
crude processes then known. Then,
too, because of the presence Of subter.
ranean streams, mining could not be
done at any great depth.
Nevertheless, gold mines are in
profitable operation to-day in Mary.
land and southeastern Virginia, and
these gold veins, badly b oxen and
disintegratod, are being worked down
through the Carolinas and into Geor.
gia and Alabama.
There is not ravine or gulch in
the envirous of Washington city
where, if a man dig down to the
gravel ana black sand that lie over
bedrock, he cannot, by panning, get a
colCr. II has not been found in suffi.
cient quantities to make placer mining
attractive, though many men have
washed ouL enough gold to have a
ring or charm made.
A few miles west of Washington a
man may see several small mines
some in operation and some aban.
doned. Great areas of gold bearing
rock have been uncovered or blocked
out Gold is obtained. but in many
instances it has cost more to extract
1t than the gold was worth.
At present there is one mine in
which extensive operations are being
carried on, and though the operators
do not talk for publication, tie belief
is general that they are making q
good profit from the mine.-Technica

from year to year by the amount of

spoken by Americans. His views were
expressed in addressing new British

English as an essential element in ma.

said, there were 20 professors of Eng.

one, and this was fair example of
teaching in the universities in the two
