swords of honor richly iniaid with pre-

Ney received his at an imperial re-
ception. The sword passed from one

Auvergne regiment. When Napoleon
escaped from Elbe Ney left the king

A Monument Of Memories.
1t is not surprising that the house
is well built, and that it stands as "a
veritable monument of American
memories, for all the skill of DIR. VIII.
liam Thornton was employed in its
design and building. Doctor Thorn
ton was the architect of the old cap
itol, the one that was burned, and he
also designed the Octagon house in
Washington. 1t seems fitting that the
work of man whose hand Is seen in
these other buildings of such close
association with American history
should also be seen In Tudor place.
for not only is 1t quaint and beautiful,
but is full of the memories and even
the household gods and belongings
of the great Washington.
There are candlesticks from Mount
Vernon, and cut glass, varying only a
trifie from the design of modern orna-
ments of the same kind Two great
glass shades surround them, not from
Mount Vernon, however, but from the
table of the last royal governor of
Virginia. There is an engraving of
the family at Mount Vernon, also a
little mahogany desk.
There are two engravings of Trum.
bulls paintings of the death of Mont.

of Bunker Hill. 10th are from Mount

very much heavier than the camr

leather. Washington used it through

Granite of the South.

When one speaks Of granite the
mind naturally reverts to Vermont. 1t
is difficult to associate granite with
any section of North America outside
New England, yet it must now be ac-
knowledged to the credit of the south
that Georgia, North Carolina, Mary
land and Virginia are producing large
quantities of stone of good quality
which insures the south a place in
the market at any rate.
The annual output is now worth
about $3,500,000 and the industry is
growing. 1t may be Of comparative
interest to know that New England's
output is about $9,0OO,O00 worth of
stone annually.

HEREDITY
Can Be Overcome in Cases.

The influence of heredity cannot, Of
course, be successfully disputed, but
1t can be minimized or entirely over
come in some cases by correct food
and drink. A Conn. lady says:
For years while / was coffee
drinker | suffered from bilious at
lacks of great severity, from which
used to emerge as white as ghost
and very weak. Our family physi-
clan gave me various prescriptions for
improving the digestion and stimulat-
ing the liver, which tried faithfully
but without perceptible result.
He was acquainted with my fam
lily history for several generations
back, and once when visited him he
said: If you have inherited one Of
those torpid livers you may always
suffer more or less from it's inaction.
We can't dodge our inheritance, you
know
Il was not SO strong believer in
heredity as he was, however, and, be-
ginning to think for myself, conclud-
ed to stop drinking coffee, and see
what effect that would have. / feared
1t would be severe trial to give it
up, but when / took Postum and had
1t well made, it completely filled my
need for hot beverage and l grew
very fond of 1t.
i have used Postum for three years,
using no medicine. During all that
time l have had absolutely none OF
the bilious attacks that used to SUI
fer from, and have been entirely
free from the pain and facilitating eff
fects that used to result from them.

washington sometimes say that inc
entire neighborhood was once known
as Tudor place, and named In nonor
of the royal house of England. The
Tudor place of today has on 1t the
old house built a century ago by
Thomas Peter.
Mrs. Beverly Kennon was born at
Tudor place in January, 1878, ana
practically all her life has been
passed there. She is in the line OF
direct descent from Martha Washing
ton. Martha Washington's first nus
band. 1t will be remembered, was
John Parke Custis. When she mar
ried George Washington she had one
son, also a John Custis, who Is men
toned as aid-de-camp to Washington
at one period during the revolution.
This young man married Eleanor Cal
vert, descendant Of the Lords Balti-
more. From this marriage there
were four children, one OF whom was
Martha Custis, who married Thomas
Peter. 1t was Thomas Peter who
built Tudor place and who was Mrs.
Kennon's father Her maiden name
was Britannia Peter. She married
Commodore Beverly Kennon of the
navy.
Thomas Peter built Tudor place Of
good old-fashioned brick and covered
1t over with plaster. He made the
halls wide, the ceilings high, the win.
dows large and placed great columns
in little semi-circular cluster on the
south side. Folks nowadays would say
the house is rambling" one; at any
rate, 1t runs east and west and is
wider than three ordinary city
houses. The plaster that covers the
brick walls on the outside has hard
