Sad, sadl But we’re oil got to come to it. But isn’t it a nutiefact tori to havo a few feet in a well kept place like this? Why, I grow fonder and-fonder of it every day. Surveyed S' d built up moat of it myself, you are. There’s a monument tor you I How fa it to your liking? Pretty heavy. Ah, but it’s lasting—no stained surfaces, no ginger bread work to crumble off. Take tpy ad vice, young man, and when you buy rour monument don't invest in marble. Taint Worth twopence a ton. except to the dealers. Nothing like granite. ” The superintendent led the way along tlx? eastern limits of the cemetery and tlien paused as if to get his bearings. His strange combination of business tact and harmless gossip made the reporter feel little like a grief stricken purchaser of a burial spot. -Now, let me see about what you’d naturally want, ” said he, eyeing his com panion critically, as if sizing him up so as to save himself needless trouble. “You see everybody has his special likings, and we have to sort of estimate a customer’s tastes before showing him a lot All ports of people apply to us, and we have to use a good deal of tact and Judgment to at hot to offend present lot owners or new customers. We have to dlscrlmin- ato even in the grave I If a negro comes to me I’ve got to sell him a lot, but I’ve also got to put him in his qatural ele ment. If I didn't there would be Ned to pey.’’ “But that, I should think, is a difficult task. Suppose such a person as you refer to wanted a fine lot in what you call an aaistociatic neighborhood, how would you ret around the matter?” “Oh, bless you, that's easy enough. Nobody* knows what lots are for sale but myself; and If a man selects a lot where I don’t think bo belongs, why, the lot’s already field. Seel It doew/t look just right, but (t’a gat to he done, what would one of your wealthy aristocrats think If I should sell a little lot next to his big one, and the owner of the little lot should meet a $36 white bronze tomb stone right under the nose of his $6,000 granite monument? War in the camp right off! I tell you there isn’t a popu lar cemetery in Chicago that hasn’t its South Side and its West Side, its Miclii- gaa avenue and its South Clark street. You notice in faying out the cemetery we group a number of big lots in the meet conspicuous places. Caste lines are inevitable, even in a graveyard.” “Well, allow me a lot where a poor devil of a scribe would naturally belong,” sold tlk) reporter. “Yes, in just a minute. Going to bury wife or child? OR, not tnarried! But I suppose you're going to be. Now, hen-'s some nice sightly lets at $00. But tlxm there h no provision for growth of family or rxtensivo local im provements. Being buried here is a good deal like having standing room in a theatre; you kind of feel as though somebody were going to tramp on your torn all tiw while. And if you should become os rich as Jay Gould you couldn't put up a monument. The lot's too small; you’d have to be content with a headstone. I want to aell you a lot tlxit you'll bo satisfied with hereafter and your children bo proud of." “Let use see something a little better, then,” interposed thoapparent purchaser. “I’d advise you to go into a new sub division, wlierc tho improvements that Imre boon mado are good, and hide fu ture developments. It is here just os it Is down town. New streets and sui»ii- vislons outshine the old once. Now, here's a momrl”—by this time they had arrived pretty newly at the west side of the cemetery—“where Hu? lots are large ami open. Thero's plenty of room hen-; the grade fa high and tho drainage good. But 1 seldom bring the likes of you here, because it’s a hurt of foreign settlement. You notice how tho ‘soils’ and ‘oskis,’ and *dt3’ predominate. You’d scarcely forbit homo hero if I’d sell you a lot. Be skin, tho locality has one great and per manent druwliack. Yonder are the single graves in plain sight. You wouldn’t like to live always in sight of the poorhousc, and you'd scarcely want to bo buried in view of potter's field. No. I know you wouldn't be satisfied here. You’d better put a little more money In your ground and get something that will rise in value rather than deteriorate. Alt. I have it. Just come over here.” Tlx? superintendent led the way to the southeast, near a iiretty expanse of wa ter. Consulting his book, be picked out a particular lot and pointed it out with tetMtotion. “Hbw, hero you are,” said he. “1 couldn’t sh^w you anything better in the whole cemetery. Price moderate, iibors at a high glass, near public where you know things will ays bo kept in order. This lot will be worth twice its present value a year from now. One hundred and twenty- r dollars and room enough for a dozen ats Resides a momlment. You can’t do any better.

Bight across Is one of the largest lots i ; up an expensive i Jtionai tone ( MSay Implement* Made of Thb Material Still Used In Virginia All over our country we find many in teresting relics of the Indians. Stone spearheads, arrowheads, hammers, chi sels, knives, scrapers, etc., together with pottery, some of burned or baked clay, some cut from soft stone, as slate, steatite, etc. Similar remnants of the so-called stone age of mankind are found in nearly every portion of the globe, and, besides their interest as curious survivals of a bygone timq, they aid us toward a dis covery of the prehistorio man. It fa hardly of lees interest, or of less historic or scientific value, to note how the stone age still survives among us to no little extent. . ...... Here In Virginia, for Instance, many people still scald their slaughtered bogs in hogsheads or barrels, as our barbarian progenitors boiled their meat in skins, by beating stones and putting them into tho water until it is hot enough for the pur pose. The stones ordinarily used in this way are roundish, hard, and very heavy black or brown modules, sometimes called "negro heads,” or iron stones, although they are compressed lava, up- heaved in strata through crevices in the rock crust of the earth at remote periods of geological time. We sometimes encounter stones that are hollowed out in the center, often to a socket, and these not infrequently are treasured by their finders as an ancient Indian stone for mashing or grinding corn, with the aid of a stone pestle; yet they are nothing more nor less, for tho most part, than discarded stones once used by our rural brethren for their gates to swing upon—many gates in all parts of the commonwealth being still thus pivoted. Many a housewife In remote country regions still has her stone weights, more or less rough, but honest; wherever the old Kentucky rifle lingers there fa likely to be found still a set of soapstone bullet molds; our log cabins yet have rough atone and clay chimneys, where they are not of mud and sticks; in many a humble household a thin rock, not always smooth, is the utensil for baking corn bread; and the stone “mash trap” fa familiar to all our country boys. The stone pipe, believed by many to have gone out with the Indian, fa made and used today by many colored folks and by- no few white folks. Whenever soap stone, or steatite, is found, not only the stone pipe, but many other articles'sup posed to be archaic, are still manufac tured and put to service by the ingenious and thrifty. In such localities atone pans, stone troughs for children, etc., are still common. Some day they will be dug up and attributed to the Indians, or even to their predecessors. A little in quiry and investigation would show much more of the stone age still here than wo have adverted to. It is not rare to see stone sinkers in use for linos und nets in fishing; the flint fa not yet su;>crseded wholly by the match; there are clocks in the land yet run by stone weights; stone hovels, with dirt roofs, are not unknown In our moun tains; the colored ruffian, and sometimes the white one, carries a stone in a stock ing, along with his razor, when on the waqiath; many a cider press and tobacco press ore still made effective by stones swung at the end of their lever; and our small boys are all in their stone age whenever they can give their natures full and free play. We are not so for off from the stono age :nan ns some imagine; many of the implements and relics supposed to be prehistoric, and doubtless so hi many cases, have their modern duplicates, and in somo instances are all in use among us.—Cor.

The Multitude of Millionaires. Since the civil war millionaires fthc word means uot those having a million, but those reckoning their wealth by mill ions) havo steadily multiplied. Many men who were content to earn a decent liveliliood, who had never dreamed of aught beyond a modest competence when Sumter was fired on, now count their income by hundreds of thousands. To bo a millionaire is to be conspicuous or dinarily, but in New York there are millionaires wholly obscure. They are not known to bo rich outside of their narrow social circle, and will not be until their obituary in the daily news papers shall havo mentioned the fact. There are so many and so excellent op- tunitiea here for making money, to im who has pecuniary perception, that millionaires seem to spring up between showers. You hear of a man grown very wealthy whom you remember a short time before as dependent on a sal ary. You are not sure that the acquaint ance you avoid, because ho habitually wishes to borrow, may not soon be one of the monetary magnates of Fifth ave nue.—Paul R. Cleveland In The Cosmo politan. Mammoth Japanese Crab*. The greatest marine curiosity of Eno shlma waters is tho giant crab that trundles along a body as largo os a turtle’s, and sweeps out claws that meas ure ten feet from tip to Up. Formerly the fishermen threw these creatures back into tho sea when they found their nets tangled up with them, but of recent years they clean the shells and sell them for foreign museums. The giant crabs arc said to promenade the beach at night, and one version gives them phosphores cent eyes. If imagination cannot supply a picture of those crabs on the beach, it fa all detailed in “Allan Quatermain.” Rider Haggard, in his careful owning up to where he found tho original of the re markable things in that book, owns to having read somewhere about these hor rible crabs, and so borrowed them to put in the canyon into which his canoe load of heroes emerged after their under ground baptism of fire. These crabs and the six foot cucumber are the few things in nature in Japan that are enlarged. - St. Louis Globe-Democrat * their --V-v If owners didn’t love wouldn’t go to the log for them.

Hovel* of th* UnlitrH** The hovels were as cheerless within as without I do not know why K is one takes liberties with the poor one would not dare* take with the rich. It fa no small evil of poverty that it is everybody’s privilege to stare st it Tbs people of Har ris are hospitable, and receive the stranger with courtesy, but you can see that they resent the intrusion. It is not, Hear, to our credit that curiosity got the better of our scruples. We knocked at a cottage door one Sunday afternoon, J , as excuse, asking for a light As we drew near we heard the voice of some one reading aloud. Now it was silenced, and a tall old man in his shirt sleeves came to the door with an open Bible in his hands. Within, on the left, was the dwelling room of the household; on the right, the stable. Cattle and family sliure the only entrance. Into the room, through a single pane of glass, one ray of daylight fell across the Rembrandt like shadows. On the mud floor, at the far end, a fire of peat burned with dull red glow, and its thick, choking smoke curled in clouds about the rafts and softened the shadows. We could just make out the figures of two women crouching by the fire, the curtained bed in the corner, the spinning wheel opposite. Ail other details were lost in gloom and smoke. Until you see it for yourself, you could not believe that in our Nineteenth century men still live like this. Miss Gordon Gumming says that to the spinning and weaving of the women “fa due much of such comfort, os we may see by a peep Into some of tl teir little homes. ” But our peep showed us only that women weave and men work in vain, and that to speak of com fort is mockery in a cottage of Harris, or, indeed, in any cottage we saw in any part of the islands. For all those we went into were alike in their poverty and their darkness. As a rule the fire burned in the center on a circle of stones, and over it, from the roof, hung chain and hook for the kettle. They have not changed one jot or tittle since, a century ago, they moved Pennant to pity.—Eliz abeth Robbins Pennell in Harper’s Mag azine. The Origin of a Poem. Longfellow's poem of tliis title tells how the Moravian nuns “consecrated the banner in a chapel or church and pre sented it to the hero with injunctions that he should bear himself with bravery and magnanimity under its folds and that if he fell in battle the banner should be used ns his martial cloak and shroud.” Tho concluding lines are: And the warrior took that bamier proud. And it was his martial cloak and shroud. It is a fact that Count Casimir Pulaski, visiting Lafayette when he fay sick at Bethlehem, Pa., in 1770, procured a ban ner from the Moravian Sisters in that place. But all the pretty garniture woven by the poet around this simple cir cumstance lias been brushed away by hi torical research. The sisters did not live a cloistered life, and Pulaski bought the banner from them In tho prosaic order of trade, for by selling this kind of work they supported their house. On the death of Pulaski the banner passed into tho hands of Capt. Bentalou, of Bal timore, and fa now in the possession of the Maryland Historical society in that city. In n newspaper interview Mr. Long fellow told the origin of the poem in those words: “It was one of my early works. I wrote it while at college. I read In a newspaiier that the Moravian women at Bethlehem had embroidered a banner and presented it to Pulaski. The story made an impression on my mind, and one idle day I wrote the poem. I called them Moravian Nuns because I had gathered from something I had read that tliey were called nuns. I suppose I should have said Moravian Bisters, but but the change doesn’t spoil tho ro mance.” Now York’* Chi none Residents. We have a Chinese population of nearly 10,000 in this city, but it fa a rare sight to see any Chinaman applying for help at any of the public charitable institu tions of the city. Our Chinese residents are always ready to assist each other in all the emergencies of life. Most of them lielong to societies of mutual assistance on tiw? Chinese plan. When one of them i ■ penniless be can borrow money. When one is out of work he finds others ready to aid him in procuring it. When one is ill, nurse's furnish tho needed service, and if he dies tho ex]*enses of his burial are always easily obtained. Several hun dreds of them have become well off through tiie business of their wash houses, There are no loafers among them, and all of them are noted for their industrious lives. There are few of them addicted to the opium habit, though many of them occasionally indulge in the fumes of the drug. It is mainly the wealthy men among them who enjoy the luxury of Chinese wives, but others who desire to form white matches find no difficulty in doing so, so far os tho procuring of mates is concerned. As a rule, the children born of these unions adopt the American style of life. The Chinese of New York boast that they produce proportionately fewer criminals than any other element of our population.—New York Sun. Tho Prince’* Hungarian Coachman. During the recent visit of the Prince of Woles to Hungary he was nllich struck with the magnificent mustaches worn by the coachmen of that country. One man in particular roused the admir ation of his royal highness by the fierce* ness and grace of his hirsute adornments. The prince engaged him. On reaching ; Marlborough house the iehu saw that the coachmen, footmen and, in fact, all the servants wore faces devoid of hair. He at once sought a barber and had his face shaved clean. When the prince saw him again ho was horrified. “I engaged you for your mustache and for nothing else,” said his royal highness. That evening i the Hungarian set out for his native land. —New York World. ‘lost i paradoxical d .tnanote to they l dogs them ’ goes I a hand- anil'..!. Another ClvUlssB AIISBSBt.
