JAMES A. GARFIELD fell q sacri.
y Ace to the spirit Of faction and of
the spells system. Although this gen.
tie, kindly man was not of the heroic
stuff that martyrs are made Of, his
blood became the seed Of better things
in our politics.
Rarely II ever has a president taken
up the burden of the Office with larg-
er measure Of good will from the peo-
pie, regardless Of party and Of fac
ton, than flowed out to Garfield as he
stood on the steps Of the capitol In
the sunshine of his inaugural day, the
picture Of robust American manhood
In Its prime. His first kiss, after kiss
ing the Bible In the presence Of q
multitude Of witnesses, was for the
aged mother, who, In forest hut, had
started him on his way to the White
House and who held a place of honor
beside the schOolmate sweetheart who
had been his faithful companion all
along the road.
"'One thing though lackest yet and
that Is slight ossifcation Of the
heart" John Hay had written to the
president-elect. This lack was fatal.
Had his heart been harder. Garfield

JAMES ADRIAN GARFIELD was the

the last Of the presidents born and

that humble state, he was one Of the
half-dozen scholarly men who have sat
In the presidential chair.
Garfield Is the only president who

The presidential lightning struck him

traordinary and exciting national con.

SOUP ONLY FOR WEALTHY.

The strike among the makers of
birds nest soup at Hongkong will
only affect the well-to-do classes, as
birds nests are their special pre-
serve, remarks the London Morn
ing Post.
Few callings are more dangerous
than that of the men who collect
the nests on the steep cliffs of the
coast of Java. The nests are made
of kind of seaweed, quite soft and
like pulp: its builder adds layers
until she has built her nest large
enough. The nests are tasteless, but
the cook puts i'll so many spices that
they are most palatable when they
are served up. In Japan mock birds
nests are made Of the same seaweed,
which is beaten soft and boiled into
a jelly.

JUST ONE NIGHTS DANCING.

Many persons, not only Of the So
called weaker but of the presuma-
bly, stronger sex, think that walking
a half-dozen blocks on some practi-
cal errand is entirely too great a
physical effort, but think nothing at
all of dancing a good portion of the
night. 1t is interesting to see just
what dancing amounts to in the
way of exercise.
The average waltz requires a
dancer to travel over 1900 yards,
and other dances average around
$50 yards. Dancing from 8 o'clock
into the following morning necessi-
tates taking $4,000 steps, or a total
distance of over IL miles. Fancy
the feelings of a girl if invited to
take an 11-mile walk, even if it we're
proposed that she be accompanied
by band Of music!
