HIS FIRST THOUGHT.
President MeKinley's Devotion to His
Invalid Wife.

President MeKinley's Devotion to His
Invalid Wife.
In the early days OF the Spanish war
Mr.. Mckinley and Mark Hanna were
engage in n close and serious evening
conference in the presidents room.
The time ran along TO the hour OF 0.
Suddenly those busy in the outer room
saw President Mckinley rise and leave
the apartment saying. wait n few mo-
ments, Mark" He was gone about
twenty minutes. In the meantime SEN
ator Hanna walked restlessly between
the two rooms, speaking n word or two
TO the secretaries and showing plainly
that he shared with the president a
feeling of deep anxiety as to the out
come OF the military proceedings. He
remarked on the fact OF great shortage
OF supplies and from his words and
bearing revealed to the assembled few
In that outer room that the president
and his closest advisers were lying
awake nights and working TO make up
for the deficiencies Of the military stu
alton.
When the president returned he and
Senator Hanna resumed their anxious
consultation. Then the presidents Sec
rotary remarked 10 one who was near
him:
II suppose you wonder why Presi-
dent Mckinley got up so suddenly and
left without word to any one. You
saw how anxious he was about the
military situation. Even that would
not cause him to break away from
what has come TO be the custom of his
early evening.
About the same time every night.
when he hears a signal from the other
side, he knows that Mrs. Mckinley is
ready to retire and wishes to see him.
No matter how busy he may be nor
how deeply engaged in any subject, he
Invariably drops everything on the III
slant and goes to their own apart
ments.- There he sits by the bedside
and reads chapter in the Bible to
Mrs. Mckinley. Then he waits a few
moments until she is quiet, tiptoes back
to the door, comes over here to the Of
flee and without a word takes up the
thread Of his work and keeps it up un-
I'll toward midnight "-Chicago Trib-

FESTIVAL OF THE DEAD.
Eskimos Provide Food and Clothes For
Returning Ghosts.

Eskinos Provide Food and Clothes For
Returning Ghosts.
The natives of the Yukon river region
hold festival of the dead every year
shortly before Christmas and n greater
festival at intervals of several years.
At these seasons food. drink and
clothes are provided for the returning
ghosts in the clubhouse Of the village.
which is Illuminated for the occasion
with oil lamps. Every man or woman
who wishes TO honor n dead friend sets
up lamp on n stand In front OF the
place which the dead one used to &C.
cupy in the clubhouse. These lamps
filled with seal oil. are kept burning
day and night until the festival is over
They are believed to light the shades
on their return to their old home and
back again to the land OF the dead. II
any one fails TO put up n lamp in the
clubhouse and TO keep it burning. the
shade whom he or she desires to honor
could not find its way TO the place and
so would miss the feast. When n per-
son has been much disliked his ghost
Is sometimes purposely ignored, and
that Is deemed the severest punishment
that could be inflicted upon him. After
the songs OF invitation TO the dead have
been sung the givers OF the feast take
a small portion Of food from every dish
and cast il down as an Offering to the
shades. Then each pours a little wa
ter on the floor so that IL runs through
the cracks. In this way they believed
the spiritual essence OF all the food and
water Is conveyed TO the souls With
songs and dances the feast comes to an
end and the ghosts are dismissed to
! their own place. The dancers dance.
not only in the clubhouse. but also at
the graves and on the ice If the dead
met their deaths by drowning. On the
eve OF the festival the nearest male
relative goes to the grave and sum
mons the ghost by planting there n
small model OF seal spear or of n
wooden dish, according as the dead
was man or a woman. The totems OF
the dead are marked on these nipple
ments. The dead who have none TO
make offerings to them are believed TO
suffer great restitution: hence the Es-
kimos fear to die without leaving be-
hind them some one who will sacrifice
to their spirit, and childless people
generally adopt children lest their
shades be forgotten at the festivals

A QUEER TREE
The Jumbo Is a Monstrosity of the
African Desert.

African Desert.
The mature Jumbo is a tree with n
trunk about two feet long. shaped
much like an inverted cone Almost all
the trunk is below the surface of the
ground. the visible part rarely exceed
Ing a few inches But the remarkable
feature OF the stem is that It is often
fourteen feet in circumference and be-
comes more or less n two lobed image.
The stem looks more like great mass
OF "the burned crust of a loaf of
bread" to quote DR.. Welwitsch's letter.
than the trunk of tree. The under
ground portion becomes greatly elon-
gated, and its continuation is the top
root Of the plant. This goes down sew
eral feet in its effort to get the few
drops Of water that the arid conditions
OF the country permit.
There are never more than two
leaves after the seed leaves drop off.
and very curious leaves they are. Start
Ing from groove on opposite sides of
the depressed mass. they stand straight
out on both sides OF the plant. They
are often six feet long and two feet
wide and usually split into ribbons
that undulate over the ground in a way
strikingly suggestive Of the tentacles
OF an octopus. With its great ugly
body and its tentacle-like leaves it is no
wonder that it has been the most re-
markabie plant novelty OF the last CEN
fury. The flowers are borne in scarlet
cones on n cymose infiorescence COM
Ing from the crown of the trunk
Tumboa bainesil belongs to the Joint
hr family. or gnetaceae, and is known
only from Portuguese West Africa to
Damaraland. This is a region that
seldom gets any rain. and desert condi-
tons prevail almost completely, except
for the sea fogs. The tumbo is thus
desert plant par excellence, and 1t is
only by close approximation Of these
very arid conditions that we can cul-
tivate it.-New York Botanic Garden.

Bacteria In Butter.

"Bacteriologists have shown us that
ordinary butter is swarming with
germs" declares Good Health. "A sin.
gle teaspoonful of milk generally con-
tains from 100000 to 10000. 900 germs.
The number may even be much larger
than this. In the removal OF cream
from the milk the germs are taken with
It, and in the process of churning the
germs are collected with the fat. so in
the butter we have the concentration
OF large part OF the germs contained
IN the milk from which the butter was
derived So in pound Of butter de-
rived from twenty pints OF milk the
number Of bacteria must be almost be-
you'd estimate. a brief computation
VIII show that the number of bacteria
contained in a pound of butter might
easily reach the enormous sum of fiye

In SEMORIAM.

In sad but loving remembrance of our
dearly beloved friend, Mrs. Ida Locke,
who died one year ago. Gone, but not
forgotten.
Asleep on the hills not far away
Lies the one we loved so dear,
In memory of the days gone by
IL seems to draw us near
To her who has gone beyond recall
Till Jesus calls us one and all.
One short year has passed away
Since our loved one went to sleep,
And left this world of sorrow and pain
To sit at Jesus feet.
Twas sad TO part, and oh, so lonely,
In this world that's full of care
To be without the one we loved
Ii seems to draw us near.
As the evening sun is setting
Oft times as sit alone,
In my heart there comes feeling
That our darling must come home.
