PROVED IT BY THE PAPER.

(From the Columbus CO., Dispatch.)
There is one man in the United
states who will never again say that
he doesn't believe the newspapers.
He will probably fight any man who

lie didn't register, because he claim
I'd to be too young-by something
ike. six months. But the town Cos
sips said he was old enough; they
knew exactly when he was born, ana
hey told the government. One old
woman said he was born two weeks
,fter her Rachel was born, and Rach
i was twenty-five. An old he-gos.-
jiper said he remembered the date
If the birth, because it was The same
week he sold horse. Sill another

ment arrested the fellow and he was

An old editor wobbled into the
court room with bundle of news
oapers under his arm. He had been
III editor in that town for thirty
1ears, and if ever the defendant was
porn at all, it was recorded in his
lewspaper-and the date was cor

file of papers and there it was

ten pounds; congratulations, John.
That settled it there it was in
the paper. The government said ii
was satisfied, for the date showed
the boy to be less than twenty-one,
and the court said it was satisfied
for the old newspaper would be Ia
ken as the best of evidence. And
the old woman and the he-gossiper
and the town historian were greatly
disconnected, but not convinced.

Nasturtiums.

Nasturtiums Can be grown during the
winter in any warm room that has
sunny window. Strong sunshine is alb
sOlutely necessary, windows that have
only a little sunshine, morning or aft
ernOOn, will not give good results.
The Pennsylvania department of ag-
riculture recommends the filling of a
pot six inches in diameter nearly full
of soil after it is pressed down there
must be a space about three-quarters
of an inch between the top of the soil
and the top of the pot. This is to en-
able one to thoroughly water the soil.
In the center place three or four
seeds of a climbing nasturtium, putting
about half an inch below the surface
of the soil. Then place the pot in the
sunny window and provide a trellis OF
strings.
The important thing to remember is
that while the seeds are terminating
and the plant young, great care mus
be taken not to provide too much wa
ter and so sour the soil.

SETS EXAMPLE TO COUNTRY
Boston Guards With Jealous Care the
Burial Places of Men Great in
American History.

There is not another town in the
United States, and probably none in
the world, which has cherished the
resting places of its great dead as has
Boston. There are no less than
dozen cemeteries in and close about
the city which bear on their head
stones the names of famous men and
women, many of whom died centuries
ago. Most of these cemeteries are no
longer burying grounds, having been
for long years crowded to the utmost
with white marble memorials to older
generations; but they are preserved
with the utmost care no matter how
valuable they may become for other
purposes. Some of them frCnt upon
busy streets, and are surrounded by
high business buildings; but rever-
ence for the great names on the head
stones keeps them intact.
One of the oldest of them all is the
Granary burying ground, so called be-
cause the town granary once stood
near it. In this little plot of ground
lie the remains of three Signers of the
Declaration of Independence = John
Hancock, Samuel Adams and Robert
Treat Paine. Nine governors, includ-
ing the famous Governor Hancock, are
buried here, and so is Samuel Sewall,
who sternly condemned so many
witches to death, and wrote such an
interesting diary about it. Here, too,
lies John Hull, the colonial mint mas
ter, who gave to his daughter when
she married Sewall her weight in
Pine Tree shillings. Peter Fanueil
and Paul Revere are buried here, too
and the most conspicuous monument
of all is the one that Benjamin Frank
lin erected to his parents. Here is ar
acre of soil sOwn with the bones OF
men that made American history. NJ

Neglected Plunder.

The lady of many portable possess

shore for the summer. A cab had been
thought big enough to convey her and
the cabman sat there, passing from
one stage of disgust to another still
deeper, while his vehicle, inside and
out, was piled high with a miscellane-

to an end.

''Yes," was the reply.

SCENES IN A CHINESE INN
HomeIy Industry the. Main Feature of
Hostelry Interestingly Described
by American Traveller.

The building was a long, Ona-StOried
mud hut, with thatched roof. We en-
tered. Behold what the frOntiersman
had created The long room was the
scene of hOmely industry. From the
center rafter hung big Oil-lamp, she'd
ding its rays over patriarChal family
as busy as hive of bees. ISy the clay
stove sat the grandfather feeding the
fire with twigs, and tending brood of
children playing on a dirt floor backed
hard, swept clean. From one corner
came the merry whir of grinding mill
stones, as a blindfOlded donkey walked
round and round, while woman in red
with a wonderful headdress gathered
up the heaps of yellow cOrnmeal that
OOzed from the gray stones. More
women in red threw the bright meal
high in the air, winpOwing it of it's
chaff; others leaned over clay mOrtars,
pounding condiments with stone pes
ties.
Men were hurrying here and there
with firewOOd, cooking for the travel
ers. One end of the room was re-
served for these wayfarers, but the
k'ang at the other end was divided
into sections. From each rafter over
each section swung quaint little era
dies; in each cradle was little brown
baby, each baby tended by a larger
child. Far away from the loud clamOr
of the western world, we fell asleeT
in clean inner room, to the soft SOUND
of swinging cradles and grinding mill
