At the cemetery after the usual exercises at the soldiers monument and the decoration of the graves, the audience gathered at the grove in the rear of the cemetery. Prayer was offered by Rev. W. P. Buck and was followed by a very forceful and masterly address by Rev. O. H. Puffer. He reviewed the heroism of the veterans in the civil war and layed special stress on the achievements of President Lincoln, who often worked almost alone in striving to master the situations con- stantly arising, and his untiring efforts for peace and the end of war. MT. Puffer also summed up the dangers that are threatening our country at the present time and the need of united country, appealing to all citizens, of whatever percentage, to stand by the country of their adop- tion. Rev. W. Ballantine pro- nounced the benediction. There was a large attendance at the exercises, and the members of the G. A. R are much pleased with the observance of the day.

Era Lands.

The phrase fire lands" originated II
q passage Of early history, which also
gave rise to the term western re-
serve" After the Revolutionary war,
when the colonies consented to cede
their claims to western lands to con-
gress, Connecticut reserved from her
cession u tract embracing large part
Of northern Ohio. The tract thus re-
served included the present counties OF
Trumbull, Geauga, Portage and Ash
tabula and became known as the west
ern reserve. It was settled chiefly BY
elnigrants from Connecticut and was
sometimes called New Connecticut,
In promoting the settlement Of the
land Connecticut reserved half q mil
lion acres from the western end Of the
tract for bestowal upon her citizens
who had suffered losses during the
war, and the lands embraced in this
special reserve were called sufferers
lands" and later fire lands" because
most Of the sufferers had been losers
by fire. In early times the phrase fire
lands was sometimes used In deeds
in describing the location Of land In
the tract referred to. - Philadelphia

LANGUAGES,


The verse found in Genesis .i, And
the whole earth was Of one language
md Of one people," has given rise to
much speculation as to the language
spoken on the earth previous to the
confusion Of tongues" According to
many authorities, Hebrew was the Ian
guage spoken by Adam. while others
state that Hebrew, Arabic and Chaldsa
are simply dialects Of the original
tongue. The Persians assert that there
we're three primitive languages. The
Arabic, being the most persuasive, was
used by the serpent in addressing Eve;
the Persian, being the most poetic, was
spoken by Adam and Eve, and the
Turkish, being the most menacing, was
employed by the angel when driving
the guilty pair from the garden OF
Eden.
Herodotus says that Psammetichus,
king Of Egypt, wishing to learn the
language that would naturally be spo-
ken by a person, caused two infants to
be carefully guarded and kept from all
verbal intercourse. When brought be-
fore him the first word the children ut
tered was bekos. the Phrygian for
bread, whereupon it was at once as
serted the Phrygian was the primevaI
or oldest tongue.-Philadelphia Press

Love Of Money.

The love of money can hardly be the
root Of all evil. for it Is only one per-
verse passion out Of many. But there
IS q kind Of decorum about money
which makes the love Of it peculiarly
dangerous, since it conceals from the
lover the nature and effects Of his pas
sion. II man wants too much food,
he is evidently greedy. II woman
wants too many clothes. she IS evident
" vain. But money is not thing, like
clothes or food, that can be enjoyed by
itself. 1t IS only means Of getting
things that can be enjoyed, and so
greed for money is not direct greed.
but indirect. 1t is civilized means OF
conducting the struggle for life, which
to q great extent corceals from those
who use it the ugliness and the animal
nature Of that struggle. 1t Is, in fact,
q kind Of diplomacy, politely conduct
ed, behind which there is war. But the
diplomats often dc not see the war

Chesterfield on Toothbrushes.

When did the English first adopt the
toothbrush habit? In ''Esmond" Thack-
cray makes Lord Castlewood spend "a
tenth part Of his day In the brushing OF
his teeth and the oiling Of his hair" and
in doing so the novelist commits dou-
BILE anachronism. During the first half
Of the eighteenth century all fine gentle
men wore wigs and had no use for oil
on their hair, while the toothbrush was
so late as 1854 unknown to Lord Ches-
ter6eld. Writing to his son, Chester
field says: "I hope you take great care
Of your mouth and teeth, and that you
clean them well every morning with a
sponge and tepid water, with a few
drops OF arquebusade water dropped
into it. I do insist upon your never
using those sticks, or any hard sub
stance whatever, which always rub
away the gums and destroy the var
nish Of the teeth."-London Graphic.

What Is a PIacer2

A placer IS an unccnsolidated deposit
accumulated by mechanical processes,
carrying one or more minerals IN COM
mercial quantities. All placers are
secondary deposits-that is, the mate
rial Of which they are composed was
originally derived by erosion Of bed
rock. Although it Is undoubtedly true
that under certain conditions nuggets
Of placer gold have been enlarged
through chemical precipitation, yet this
action is a negligible quantity in plac-
ers. Placers may be derived solely by
rock weathering without water sort
ing, but more commonly are the result
Of water transportation. sorting and
deposition. Many Of the richest plac-
ers are those formed By the erosion
Of older placers and the reconcentra-
ton Of their gold.
