Washington History
BIZ DONALD A. CRAIG.

NAV 1, IS65.-President Lincoln's
body, with the funeral cortege, has ar
rived at Chicago, in his home State OF
| Illinois, according to Geographic dis
patches received in official quarters here
| today.
All along the line from Indianapolis
Just the same as everywhere else along
the route from Washington-there were
mourning demonstrations. Speaker Col
fax of the House of Representatives,
Senator Trumbull, Judge Davis and a
committee of 100 men from Chicago
joined the party in that city.
In order to give definite shape to the
desire so generally expressed that suit
able monument should be erected in this
city to the memory of Abraham Lin
coin, the city councils of Washington
have taken action resulting in the for
nation of an association to be called
the Lincoln National Monument Asso-
citation, with the following officers:
President, Richard Wallach, Mayor of
washington; secretary, Crosby S. Noyes;
treasurer, George w. Riggs.
The directors of the association, it was
announced today, will be made public
later.
1t is proposed to raise at least $780,
600 by subscriptions, to be limited in
amounts to 81 to $40 from each indi-
vidual contributor.
President johnson today ordered that
designations of general, field and staff
officers be received until May IS, when
the adjutant general of the Army is
directed to commence mastering out
honorably from the Union Army all Of
ficers not employed or whose services
are no longer needed.
A rumor of conspiracy, reported to
have been Matched in some part OF the
South by irresponsible persons, to burn
Philadelphia was unearthed by the mill
tary authorities here today and tele-
graphed to the Philadelphia authorities.
Most of the newspaper correspondents
today treated 1t as merely one OF those
Sensational stories" that have been
flying around since the assassination Of
President Lincoln.
Many persons, however, believe that
such conspiracy really existed and
that it has been frustrated by precau-
tionary measures taken since its alleged
discovery"
It is reported today that grand re-
view of the Army Of the Potomac and
of Gen. Sherman's army will take place
in this city soon. No details are avail
able yet, but the greater parts Of both
of these commands are known to be now
on their way to Washington. Such a
review would be a sight such as has
never been witnessed before on this
continent.

Wax Figures.

They say that in the old days of the
Eden Musee In New York 1t was conf
cal to see people confuse the wax figures
with real people. They would ask a
question Of the wax policeman or stand
and gaze at some other visitor who was
SO motionless as to seem like one of the
wax exhibits.
All of us are something like that
when we mingle with the other people
of the community. We think they are
mere figures when they are just as
much alive as We. Or we take them for
grade A humdingers when they are not
so hot after all. We don't know how to
discriminate between the genuine article
and the mere figurehead.
Men have the ability to pick out good
employees, although nowadays they are
trusting less to direct judgment than to
intelligence tests. If men were as clever
in selecting their friends they might be
better of. Perhaps the same might be
said of them in their selection of wives.

You can get the same surprising results on

It's usually some unimportant trait
rather than all-around merit that leads
the man to make his selection from the
garden of pretty faces.
Women usually know the difference
between the wax figure and the flesh
and-blood person, only they don't al
ways know what to do with the knowl-
edge they possess. They can tell whether
a person is worth while, but cannot as
easily state why they think so. II they
had the right to select their husbands
they'd show womanly intuition and bar
gain counter wisdom. The kind OF men
they take now are often remnants and
no bargains at that.
There is supposed to be SCIENCE OF
physiognomy, whereby one can tell what
a person is like by the shape of the face,
set of the mouth, position OF the ears
and the like. A large mouth may not be
so attractive to look at but it's better
to have a friend with big cash than
one with a mouth like private en-
trance. Large eyes are more reliable
than small, beady ones.
We take people as they come. We
can't take a piece of paper and pair OF
scissors and cut out pattern OF the
kind of man we want and have him
made to order. No, we have to make
our selection from the ready-mades.
The main thing is to decide whether

to rest easily at the base of the neck.
The great advantage Of the present
fashion for inexpensive costume neck
laces is that they make it possible for
every one to choose ornaments that are
precisely appropriate for the dress with
which they are to be worn. Another
advantage lies in the fact that these
less expensive ornaments are light in
weight. Strings of what appear to be
solid gold or silver beads, copied from
charming old originals, are amazingly
light, and pendant earrings which in
their earlier versions would have pulled
down the lobes Of the ears are very
light.

in the above photograph-taken at the end
of demonstration to show the value OF
feeding grass with Iona.
This demonstration was made at Monroe
Station, Lexington, Mass, by Breck's Nurs-
cries. Half the lawn was fed with Iona.
The other half was left unfed. Then the
grass was watered well. That was all. AS
for the results-well, read what Mr.. Luther
Brock reports
cat the end of the demonstration period,
the Loma-fed grass was rich green in color
and unusually thick--so thick, indeed, that
the caretaker could hardly push his lawn
mower through it.

Iona is the complete plant food-a care
fully balanced combination of richly COM

The roots take it up at once. 1t feeds,

Iona is used and recommended by pro-

"oLERANT laughter greeted an
art exhibition a few years ago,
when some extremists in the
modern movement showed what
could be done with curious materials.
On display were pictures and sculp-
lures, many OF which bore a striking
likeness to the objects they were
supposed TO depict But. instead OF
the usual mediums OF the painter
and the sculptor. they used every
thing else. Glass and metal were
artfully combined TO portray a GER
tain celebrity. Wood was used, but
not carved in the conventional way
1T was modelled with splinters. and
some startling results were obtained
In still life and landscapes suggested
by a combination OF wood. straw.
bits OF cloth. metal and glass.
But. whether that exhibition vas
taken seriously or not. the fact is
that the ideas have penetrated since
then into all sorts OF standard decor
atoms. The result Is a much en-
larged field from which TO choose.
