At the late date of 1827 a wish ez pressed by General Washington In his wilt was obeyed. He had called at tention to his selection of a spot for a new tomb for himself and family and those of the family already buried In the old vault The old tomb was disadvantageously situated on the side of a hill which was subject to land ] slides. For the new vault he specled not only the spot, but also dimensions and materials. According to these, his own plans, a tomb was built, and his and Mrs. Washington's bodies were transferred to It, along- with the re mains in the old vault of other mem bers of the family. The latter were burled together within the vault, out of sight, while the bodies of General and Mrs. Washington are In stone cof Ens above the ground. within plain view between the slender bars of a grated iron doorway. It is for this reason that the most illustrious of our dead has so simple a mausoleum -obedience to his wish. Miss Noah. A child was brought to a Yorkshire vicar for baptism.

Not a few of the world's greatest j geniuses in art, science and litera ture have died from tuberculosis, and 1 on this account certain writers, such as Dr. Arthur Jacobson and Dr. John B. Huber. think that possibly this dis ease may provide a certain stimulus to 1 the genuises of an already great man.

Sir Waltr 1 Scott, Elizabeth Barrett Brownin& Goethe. Robert Lo is Stevenson. Sid i ney Lanier. Ralph Waldo Emeron. 1 Voltaire, John Ruskin. Chafles Kings : ley. Immanuel Kant. Rousseau, E. P.

One day while driving about St. Petersburg in his carriage he noticed a soldier with hair longer than the reg ulations called for.

One -would say offhand In re ply to such a questicn American mil lionaires. According to- the Munich News, this Is Incorrect. The best ci gars are smoked in Heidelberg. A Havana manufacturer says that the fabrication of five dollar cigars is ornly suficient to mect the demands of the famous German university town. The manufacturer has explained that these cigars are not of the ordinary size. They are just half a meter in length. The students meet for a smoker, and the cigar Is placed In a nargile, and the tube Is passed from hand to hand, or, rather, from mouth to mouth. The Munich News concludes that people who give themselves up to the luxury of a five dollar cigar are on the down ward grade. I The Real Trouble.
