Cast* la s Cemetery.
“Your first real relate? Sad, sadl But

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

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,’

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

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. Petersburg Index-Appeal.

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. -

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.
