Two stone troughs sit at the main
entrance of the White House. They
look something like watering troughs
for horses, although very fancy ones
Of course.
Now a small party OF persons. men
and women, were being conducted
through the rooms Of the Executive
mansion that are on display during
the absence Of the President. The
tparty was standing on tho portico
about to enter tho building. when up
came q returned soldier who had bust
ness ut the White House.
When he saw tho party he decided
that he, too. would like to see" the
White House, and asked the official
in charge If he might go along. The
request was speedily granted. and the
party turned to enter.
The soldier saw the stone trough on
the right, which resembled, to his way
of thinking. a sarcophagus. one OF the
ancient stone collins. and he remarked:
what do you keep in that?"
The ofacial explained that the
trouehs are used to place large flower
pots in.
"Oh," laughed the soldier. Il
thought you might keep mummies in
them"
One dignifed woman in the party
surveyed the stone receptacles
thoughtfully. meditating long.

Ignorance Of city children concerning
the country Is proverbiaL And, In truth.
how Is anything else to be expected OF
hundreds Of children who never have
been within hailinE distance Of q small
country town, to say nothing OF living
on a farm?
City children are to be excused. Of
course, If they imagine q milk bottle Is
the true source Of milk. and hay grows
naturally in stacks. Undoubtedly the
country children have equally hazy con-
ceptions Of city life in many instances
But the city boy who. by visits down
on the farm" manages to keep in touch
with farm life at the Same time he
grows. up in the progressive atmosphere
Of q big city is in the position Of being
able, as a boy and thereafter. to know
the truth concerning many things.
Ono such Washington youngster was
able to detect error last week which his
teacher did not see. A girl in the class
was asked by the teacher to give an ex-
ample Of q certain kind Of sentence.
Tho girl thought a second and then gave
the following sentence:
''The hen laid three eggs today"
When the boy who knew the country
laughed at the sentence the teacher
asked, very severely. what he was
laughing ct. as 'the sentence was cor

President Grant
in Train Wreck

was wrecked near Annapolis juno
ton. The Star Of June 10. describes
the accident as having been caused
by the locomotive striking a COW. the
mangled body of which was thrown
up on the embankment and then
rolled down to the rails between the
trucks of the baggage car. which was
thrown of the track. The smoking car
ran into the baggage car and was
completely smashed, the largest piece
of the wreck of this car being a
fragment of the floor that could be
lifted by two men. A passenger car
behind was thrown across the track
and two succeeding passenger coaches
were somewhat damaged, but the
two sleeping cars and the presi-
Dental special, at the rear of the
train, escaped damage. No persons
were killed, and only twelve or If
teen were injured slightly. The wreck
occurred about $40 o'clock at night
and the President and his party went
on to Baltimore as soon as the track
was cleared, reaching that city at ;
o'clock the next morning. The Stars
account states that when some of the
passengers, anxious for the safety
of Gen. Grant, proceeded to the rear
car they found the President placidhy
smoking on the platform and not
aware of the extent of the disaster.
