HERo's NEGLECTED GRAVE.

Congressman Curtis H. Gregg is
trying to induce congress to erect a
suitable monument over the grave Of
Major-General Arthur st. Clair Of
Revolutionary fame, who lies in a
neglected grave at Greensburg. In
1882 a plain monument of brown
sandstone was erected over his grave
by the Masonic fraternity of Green's
burg and vicinity. The monument
is fast disintegrating, and it will be
but a matter of a very short time
until the inscriptions will be illegi-
bic, as they are now almost obliter-
ated. Grass and weeds are suffered
to grow on his burial lot, and only
occasionally is it cleared, and many
have passed it by judging not that
the ashes of one of Americas noblest
men lay near.

HOW TO BE YOUNG At 100
Or. Robert Sell Of England Advises
Only Vegetable Food, Raw or
Little Cooked.

"Man is the only animal on the
face of the earth who cooks his food
and therefore destroys its value" DIR.
Robert Bell said, in a lecture on
mans Natural Diet" eff only we
would take a lesson from wild ami
mails by adopting the diet which ma
ture has provided for us, we should
have a better, healthier and longer
life" But DR.. Bell does not advo-
cate that mere man should initiate
the tiger in the manner Of his meals.
Gall flesh diet should be banned" he
says, "and our food should consist
entirely Of vegetables, fruits, cereals,
and these cooked as little as posi-
ble." DR.. Bell would have children
brought up in this way. BE believes
that children would be satisfied
with whole-meal bread, raw yege-
tables and fruit for, their dinner and
never crave for any other 1000 II
they we're informed that it was good
for their health and conducive to a
green old age.
DR.. Bell strongly recommends raw
peas as a delicious and healthy
dish. But he does not believe that
nature intends man to eat grass; his
teeth are not adapted to it. The lee
turer added that every human being
ought to attain an age of at least one
hundred and tewnty-eight years
"That there so few centenarians
among u.s." he said, "can certainly
be attributed to our going against
natures DEGREES"

ORIGIN OF PLAYING CARDS
IL 10 Generally Believed That they
Were Made First at Venice
About 1870.

Although it is commonly reported
that playing cards were invented in
France in 1882 to divert Charles VI,
D'Allemagne, a French writer on
the subject, mentions them as being
in use in Belgium in 1879, and prob
ably something analogous to them
marked disks or counters-have
been employed in the east from re-
mote antiquity. 1t is now usually
thought that it was in Italy playing
cards were first made, about 1870,
and at Venice. The attempt to con-
meet their invention with astrology
arises from the four suits and 81
cards in all, being associated in in
genious minds with four seasons and
the number of weeks in the year. 1t
does not appear likely that there was
anything more associated with the
cards than amusement at the first,
though gambling was vice with the
Greeks and Romans long before the
Christian era, and games for gain
with some kinds of counters were
doubtless found among them.

KISSING FESTIVAL.

A great kissing occasion is the
May day celebration at Helston, in
Cornwall, England, known as Flora
day. And some agility is required,
as well as capacity for kissing. In
theory, the front and back doors of
every house are supposed to be left
open. The young men, and the gid
dy old ones, dance in at a front door
at the top of street, out at the back
door, into the back door of the next
house, and out at the front, into the
front Of the next, and out at the
back, thus never passing through the
same house twice. And from every
woman the adventures meet in their
strange progress they may claim a
kiss.

WAR SHOULD Be MADE FAIR
Writer ThInks Civilization Might In
vent Code somethlna Like That
Of the Duelio.

War is now carried on in an un-
lcivilized fashion. II is fought as il
all participants we're savages. What
lis politely called strategy is taking
the enemy unawares and not giving
him a fair show. Formerly, when
two men had a quarrel, they settled
their differences in the manner Of
modern warfare. But now, wher,
even one man stabs another in the
back, or men shoot each other at
sight because of a grievance or an
agreement that they are enemies, we
Justly say that they are uncivilized,
and in the measure that they fall
upon one another like wild beasts we
declare that they render unciyilized
the communities in which they live.
On the other hand, where the code
duello exists, and the civilization is
Of, a high order, there is a court Of
honor to determine among gentle
men Of similar connections whether
the challenge is justified or not, and
something of the conditions under
which the fight shall take place. I'm
fair conditions are not allowed, sec
onds and an umpire are insisted
upon, as well as the presence of sur
geons, to prevent unnecessary loss of
life. A duel, fought under the code,
is more civilized proceeding than
a Kentucky shooting. Could not
civilization invent similar amenities
for a fight between nations ?-Atlan-
tic Monthly.

WEAKENING THE DUKE.


The great Duke of Wellington was
among those upon whom sermons
have a soporifc effect. A strange
clergyman who was preaching at the
church at Strathfeldsaye where the
duke was a regular attendant was
much surprised by the action of the
verger, who at the conclusion of the
sermon came up the pulpit stairs,
opened the door, slammed it violent
ly, and then reopened it for the
preacher to pass out. In the yestry
he inquired the meaning Of this pro-
cedure. "Oh," replied the man, eve
always do that to wake the duke"

DRIVER IS SELF-POSSESSED
When Horse Plunged Into Show Win
dow He Collected Price Tags Of
Damaged Articles.

Persons who witnessed a trolley
car accident the other day we're
called upon for peculiar kind Of
testimony. A horse had plunged
through the window of small dry
goods store. The struggle of the
horse, the cracking Of glass, the i'm
precautions Of the storekeeper and
the EXPLANATIONS of the bystanders
combined to raise pandemonium on
that corner, but in all the confusion
the driver retained sufficient pres
ence Of mind to gather up the in
jured show window garments with
price tags attached. When the ex-
citement had died down little he
showed his tags to the most respon-
sible looking persons in the crowd
and said:
81 want you to take notice that
these things have been marked down
to certain prices and when it comes
to settling claims for damages shall
rely upon you to testify for me in
case the storekeeper boosts up the
figures to what he claims was the
original price. That is often done in
store window smashups. Twice we
have had to pay about two prices for
the goods damaged because the
price tags had got lost, and l don't
intend to be worked that way this
time"

SOUVENIR FlENp PASSES.

The historic Longfellow house in
Portland has closed its doors for this
season, says the Kennebec (Me.)
Journal. The number of visitors
the last season far exceeds that Of
last year and the same thing remains
true of this year as of former years ;
there has been no injury to the
house, not a thing has been taken
and one is surprised when told that
in the ten years in which it has been
open to the public there has been no
damage done TO amy part Of the

QUEER FREAKS IN LANGUAGE.

If one of the difficulties Of learn
ing Samoan is that each noble has a
private dialect of his own, the diff
Guilty is matched by linguistic COM
plication in certain other parts Of
Polynesia. In the Gilbert islands
the men and women speak literally a

mutual intercourse is overcome by
making the women use the masculine
tongue when talking to the men.
Among themselves it is taboo. And
the men do not trouble their heads

Americas Negro Caught At

Another Americas negro who first
went wrong and then went to Florida
was brought back here yesterday b.,
Deputy Sheriff Fuller, who went 70
Jacksonville after him. He answers
to the name of Tom StaIlings, and is
wanted here upon the not uncommon
charge Of stealing ginhouse cotton.
Stallings sprinted year ago and
has just been located.
When the news OF his arrest first
reached here it was stated that the
man captured was one of the white
convicts who got away in Americas
just one week ago-but not so.
BY the way, Hightower and Britt,
the white zebras who jumped the
stockade fence here, stole an auto
mobile and hiked away in the dirac-
ton OF the south pole, are probably
running yet, as no tidings have come
of them. They are probably safe in
the wilds of Wilcox county by this
