Take that stroll down Fifth avenue
from Fifty-ninth street, for the fun of
it. Then it was one fine long row Of
mansions-granite and marble and
brOWnStOne-every one a palace and
every one inhabited by an a~ristocracy
as great as America can ever furnish.
But now, walking down the street
from the park entrance, YOU meet few
or mansions than shops Eve for the
first three blocks. A count shows five
brokers, three real estate Offices, We

between the Plaza and the residence
OF Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt to the
south. And in Fifty-sevcnlh street.
not far from the Vanderbilt mansion
and just west of the Harry Payne
Whitney residence, the famous Old Oil
yer Hartman mansion is to be made
over into a store for a dressmaker. The
fact that this new ~ncighEOr is said to
have been a Virginia beauty before she
entered the trade, however, may ap-
peal to the social taste of the Whit
neyS and N~anQerDlltS.
Just below, the famous old Andrew
Zabriskie house has gone into the
hands of Schumann's n who are
making it over into fine business quar-
ters. with apartments above. And
right there, also, is the Coils P. Hunt
ington mansion, with a new gilded art
shop across the way.
This little jaunt down Fifth avenue
shows, in addition, al amazing display
of glittering signs, with stately back
grounds Of brownstone and marble, ad-
vertising trade where New York's real
society used to hold levee. Signs are
everywhere. One of them ever adver-
tises coal from the basement Of an old
mansion that wreckers are destroying
overhead. ~

New York.-ImpcriOus old Fifth

Vanderbilts, the Slouncs and the Shep-

mansions, have beer making the last

like the old guard, they have surren-

AN INTERESTING RELIC.

There is in the White House a desk
story, had it a tongue. Hhe wood
from which it is made has known the
arctic cold. has made a mysterious
voyage, the details Of which VII!
never be known, and has twice form
cd the gift of one nation to another.
The history of this desk, in short, is
as follows:
H. NJ. S. Resolute was fitted out to
go in search of the Inflated eXpedi-
ton of Sir John Franklin. The YES
sci, in its turn, was abandoned.
In 1875 more than a year later, the
George Henry, an American vessel
commanded by Captain j. NJ. Bud
dington, sighted, in the icy arctic sea,
a ship, toward which he drifted for
five days. When the vessel was seven
miles off, he sent a detachment Of
men across the ice to Investigate.
They found that the vessel was the
lost Resolute.
70 one year and four months no
human foot had trod the decks In
that time the ship had made a self
directed voyage of over one thousand
miles. The hold was free of water,
and Captain Buddington decided to
sail the ship to port. With a crew
Of eleven men, short-handed and with
poor rigging, he managed to get clear
of ice, and on Dec. "a he brought the
Resolute to New London.
England waving all right to the
vessel, Congress purchased it for for
ty thousand dollars, ret1tted it with
great care even to the library, flags
and ships stores. and presented it to
the Queen OF England. 1t was sent to
England in the care Of Captain Hart
stein. The royal party met the ship
at Cowes, where the captain, with a
graceful speech presented it to Queen
Victoria.
II later years, when the dc Reso-
lutte was broker up, a desk was made
Of it's timbers and sent to the Pres1-
dent Of the United States as a gift
from Victoria. Now this desk, or ia
BILE, stands in the White House and
bears this inscription:
Her Majesty's ship Resolute, form
ing a part of the expedition sent in
search of Sir John Franklin, 1852,
was abandoned in latitude "A degrees
Al minutes, longitude 101 degrees %
minutes west. on the 18th Of May,
1854.
she was discovered and extricated
in September, 1856, in latitude 81 de-
grees north, by Capt. Buddington Of
the United States of America, Of the
whaler, George Henry. The ship was
purchased, fitted out and sent to En-
gland as a gift to Her Majesty, Queen
Victoria by the President and people
of the United States, as a token OF
good will and friendship.
This table was made from her tim
bers when the ship was broken up.
and is presented by the Queen Of
Great Britain and Ireland to the
President Of the United States as q
memorial of courtesy and loving kind
ness" ,.,

LOST CEMETERY UNEARTHED
Piles Of Bones Near Monroe, Mich,
Believed to Be Those From

-Els
Monroe, Mich.-What is believed to
be the famous lost cemetery Of the
War of 1912 has been discovered along
the north bank of River Raisin, just
east of here, by contractors engaged
in ~eXcavating. ~. 4

A body, evidently that of a soldier,
was last uncovered. The skull had
been cleft as if a tomahawk had pierc-

that the wearer was a member OF

the skeleton of an Indian squaw was
uncovered.
This locality in the war Of 1912 was
the scene of the battle and massacre
Of the River Raisin, where 1000 Amer

surprised by English and Indians. The
HOdies were left where they had fall
ic1. and were buried later by set
tlcrs.
Tie interment of the bones was for
gotten. and those who buried them
nassed away. so that mons of the pres

About Women Smoking.

Neutrality-suspicious. now there is q
crusade against the smoking ID
cigarettes by m The fact that
society women have taken up this
solace is considered an evidence that
our present social purse is leading
the way to decay. Yet the only thing
that is new about the smoking OF
cigarettes by women is the protest
against it.
Andrew Jackson's mother used to
smoke a corncob pipe. Probably
Abraham Lincoln's mother did, too.
Certainly most of the ladies who came
over in the steerage-and the dauRh-
ters Of many of them are now found
in our most exclusive circles-were
rarely without their old pipes, some
clay, some corncob.
No protest was made against the
smoking OF a pipe by Andrew Jack.

MINDS EFFECT ON HEALTH.
Mental Unihcntion with Illnesses
VIII Them.

Mental UnfflcntiOn with ~lllncSses
VIII Them.
Understand that if you are mentally
unified with illness, old age and death
no amount of desire or affirmation can
make you well, young or long lived. To
be healthy. writes Wallace D. Wattles
in the Nautilus, you must be mentally
in unity with health, to remain young,
you must be mentally one with YOUTH
and to live long you must be mentally
unified with life.
Never see yourself as a sick person;
never speak of yourself as a sick per-
son; never think of yourself as a sick
person, or, as likely to become sick IN
the future. And. never act like a sick
person. Unite yourself, mentally, with
health for the present and for all time
to come; look into the future and see
yourself as a perfectly healthy and
very strong person. $'..
Form a conception Of yourself as q
perfectly healthy person, and never
hold any thought which is out of har-
mony with this conception. Be per-
fectly healthy in mind, and think the
thoughts OF a perfectly healthy person ;
then you will be mentally united with
health and separated from disease, and
ne same will soon be manifested IN
your outer world.
Whatsoever things ye desire when
We pray, believe that we receive them.
and We shall lave them"

Associations for the Prevention or
Tuberculosis have been formed IN
Cuba, Porto Rico and Trinidad. In
Cuba there are over 40 900 deaths from
tuberculosis every year. and the death
rate from this disease is nearly three
times as high In the United States.
In Porto Rico there are over 5000
deaths every year out of 100000 in
habitants. In Trinidad, the death rate
from tuberculosis in P~ort-au-Spain, the
only place where figures are available,
was Ats In 1909, nearly three times
the rate In New York city. Condi-
lions In the other islands Of the West
Indies. where no active campaign
against tuberculosis has been under
taken is even worse. The chief rea-
son for this high mortality is found
in the unsanitary. dark, and poorly
ventilated houses of the natives Of the
islands.
