Washington City the Place.

Editor National Tribune: I am glad
to tell you and all who take your paper
that / am constant reader of that
stanch friend of those who fought and
died to maintain this glorious Union.
Lately in its columns Comrade w. A.
Douglass, of Litchfield, KY, exprest hia
preference for Washington City as the
best and most desirable place to hold
our next National Encampment I per-
fectly agree with him, and respectfully
urge that those who are TO finally de-
tide upon the place will take Washing
ton. / have never been there, and am
very anxious to visit the Capital of our
great Nation. that historic spot. before
the final roll call comes for me. / am
sure there are thousands of my old
comrades who. like myself, desire t.
feast their eyes upon that beautiful
city arof.nd which so many interesting
scenes cluster. and in which every
American citizen has more than ordi-
nary Interests. Martin, 37th Ky. and

well lately as the article by Comrade

up my prison experience in Libby Fris-

those rebel slaughter pens forever de-

anything tainted with treason, and !
consider it an insult to our dead COM

hells, for the G. a. r. to hold their So
called blue and Gray Reunions" II
Is nothing more than sickly sentiment
If all could have had my experience
there would be less blue and gray
gush. Once they We're called traitors u

two regiments routed Gen. Heath and

was captured and sent to prison. On
his return he was in the famous Sui

There can be no successful dinner
without the aid of the Ieek family.
Every soup. every meat course and
every sauce and dressing, whether for
fish, flesh or salad, needs the flavor of
the onion. This blessing is easily dis
guised, but the professional cook keeps
the secret. Two drops Of onion juice
in any cream soup instantly kills the
starchy; pastry, nurse:y taste. One
drop will lift a sauce or a cream gravy
out of the common. Rub the bowl

Discreet Silence.

An excellent piece of advice was
that once given to George Gray, a
young Methodist preacher, who was a
mere boy when he began his work.
Within few days of the time he was
fifteen and half years old his name
was on the records of an annual con-
ference as travelling preacher-the
youngest candidate ever received In
the Methodist Episcopal church. He
was sent to the Barre circuit in Ver-
mont. As he mounted his horse to set
out for his appointed field of labor, a
jaunt Of more than 200 miles, his un-
Gle, Methodist of much shrewdness
and humor, gave him parting ad-
dress which he never forgot and to
which he often referred in later years.
Never pretend that you know much,
George" said he. looking up at the
youthful rider from under his shaggy
eyebrows. "for II you do so pretend
the people will soon find ont that you

Its Discovery In the River Lena and
How II Was Lost.
In 1846 young Russian engineer,
Benkendorf, saw the river Lena in ST.
IBERIA release dead mammoth frozen
ages ago in the bog. There had been
exceptionally warm weather In the
north of Siberia, and the river, swoll-
en- by melting snow and ice and tor
rental warm rains, swept out of Its
old channel and carved a new one, car
rying to the sea vast quantities of its
former banks and furrowing up the
thawing bogs over which 1t raced. AS
he made his way in steam cutter
against the current Benkendorf saw
the head Of mammoth appear above
the flood. Rush upon rush of water
more and more released the body. Its
hind legs were still imbedded when he
saw 1t, but twenty-four hours liberated
these. The mammoth had sunk feet
first into bog. The ooze had frozen
over it Successive tides had heaped
soil and vegetation upon it. Bone and
flesh and hair were perfect. They Sc
cured It. They cut off Its tusks. They
dissected 1t and found in its stomach
the last meal 1t had eaten, young
shoots Of the fir and pine and masti-
Gated FIR cones. They were still at
their work when the river, spreading
farther, engulfed them. The men es-
capped. but the waters surged over the
mammoth and carried 1t for carrion to
