Where Gen. Grant Died. To one possessed cf even au averagedegree of patriotism and respect for tne groat ones whose lives contrlbi.-.-ed so much to make this country glorious auung the nations of the world, there cones a feeling of awe and reverence ns he stands amid the scenes made famous by the deeds of theso heroes. He instinctively raises his hat as he gazes on the places where they breathed their last, or stands beside the mould which rovers their ashes. What man is not the better American for having- visited the ßravo of Mary, the beloved mother of Washington, ou the outskirts of Fredericksburg? Alone and with head bared I stood for an hour some years since gazing on that neglected grave, and it seenied as though the very solitude cried out against the nation which tad forgotten the resting place of the we-ni-an who had brought into the world the greatest man of the eighteenth century and made possible the freedom of millions of people. Thanks to a band of noble women, a splendid shaft now rears Itself aloft above' these sacred asdics and tells its storyMo visiting thousands. Who is not the better patriot for having made a visit to Mount Yernou. Ya.. the beautiful home of Washington, the father of his country? As one wanders through the rooms of the old mansion, inspects the hundred objects which were Intimately associated with our first President, studies the manner of his home life and views the tomb In which rest his ashes, one is, as It were, brought face to face with Washington as a man and a patriot and learn3 the lesson of human effort, human sacrifice and human possibilities, as no study of biography "wiil t-:ach them. I remember how "I he loud laugh which speaks the vacant mind" of one tourist grated on my ears and apparently shocked others as we stood In the vacant pathway which winds past the tomb of the man whose name and deeds will live as long as liberty survives. But even this Idiot was not quite fo nearly unreachable ns he must have been before that visit. The Declaration of Independence hecame to me somehow more real, more palpable than ever before, as I sat in the very room In the Monticello mansion in which Thomas Jefferson s:it when he wrote the immortal document which advanced the cause of human liberty more than it had been forwarded by any single act In centuries. And as I stood in the shadow of the slmp'e but noble shaft which marks Jefferson's grave, I felt that I had taken a lesson In American history more valuable than any which schools teach. Such, or closely allied, must be the feelings of any American who views the tomb of Gen. Kobcrt E. Lee, the hero of' the Lost Cause, at Lexington, Ya.; the unmarked grave of Johu Tyler and the ornate tomb of James Monroe In Ilolly wood cemetery, Richmond ; the old theater in Washington where Lincoln fell at the hands of the assassin; tie tablet set fn the floor of the depot at the nation's capital to mark the srt where Garl'eld fell, the victim of half-crazed Gulteru, or the thousand and one other places of historic Interest with which our country Is dotted. Of such places, each of which has its great lesson to Impart, few are more interesting than Mt. MacGrcgor, Saratoga county, New York. It was there, in a small and unpretentious cottage, that Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, the greatest soldier of modern times and twice" President of the United States, breathed his last. The mountain, to the top of which the dying herowas taken on the afternoon of June 23, 1SS5, in the vain ho? that there, amid the purest air and the pleasantcst surroundings, Le might eueeessfuüy little with the only fe which ever conquered him Death and where he succumbed to the inevitable after the bravest of bis niauy battles, is about nine miles north of Saratoga and rears its head some 1,.X)0 feet above tide-water. The view from the summit is superb. The Adirondack?, the Green mountains of Vermont and the Fishkill mountains form almost a complete circle on the horizon, while the valley Intervening is entrancing in its beaty. Saratoga lake glimmers In the distance, part of Saratoga village is visible, and on n clear day one may see the monument at Schuylcnille, where the British general, IJurgoyw, surrendered to the American forces In the war of independence. The cottage in which Graut breathed his last was the property of Joseph W. Dresel, of New lork, who had purchased It for a summer residence, learning that the general's physicians desired to remove their distinguished patient from the coast to the mountains, Mr. Dresel offered his cottage, and tho tender was accepted with thanks. When the general came to the cottage every one knew that his disease was fatal, but It was hoped, almost against hope, that his life might be prolonged Indefinitely. It was in October of the year before that he Orst complained of a soreness In his throat. Ills family physician was consulted nd he advised the calling In of a specialist. Then the awful truth was learned. The general was suffering with cancer. On the long mouths of excruciating ngoi.y which followed and on his heroic efforts to finish his Memoirs and thus provide his widow with a competency, there is no need to dwell, for all the world Is familiar with them. Suflieicnt Is It to say that, suffering as he was from a painful, malignant and fatal disease, he never complained, but worked Fteadllj' on Iiis book, facing death with the grim courage that had always distinguished him. When he could no longer talk, ho communicated with his friends and family by means of a writing pad, frequently apohviziiig for making them so much trouble and begging them not to be distressed on Iiis account. His disease was of such a nature that he was unable to lie down, and j-o he took bis rest and did his work half reclining in two easy chairs. Just before he died, cn July 23, he was carried into tne fr.mt room and breathed his last on a bed. The cottage is kept, as nearly as pos sllle, in the condition in which it was when the general died. The clock on the mantel, stopped by Col. Fred Grant, at the moment Ids father expired, still indicates the exact moment of his death. His favorite chair stands near the bedside, while in the sickroom are the pad and pencil which the general ""d to communicate with his friends, i-the same case is the xen

with which he wroVe the last of his Memoirs. Tho cottage is now the property of the Grand Army of the Republic, having been presented to that organization by Mr. Drcxel. Ltiea Globe.

A .Mlit of Horror. A soldier who for some infraction of duty during the Clil War was thrown into the Alexandria slave pea as a punishment gives a graphic and almost incredible description of Its horrors. The pen was a stockade formerly used in keeping negro slaves, and at the time the soldier was placed in it held CX other Union soldiers, many of them drunk. "I put in," said the soldier, 'some bad nights Jn the Wilderness, I fought in nine pitched battles and I saw the horrors of 'Grant's crater," but for concentrated terror I have 'ever seen the equal of those hours l . he Alexandria slave pen. In a lltue while a couple near me, both drunk, ban to fight. You know that cattle sometimes become crazed and stampede, but P(s' sibly you don't know that masses of men sometimes go mad and attempt to slay each other. Inside of five minutes twenty private battles were in progress, and inside of ten minutes the whole inerlor was a mass of struggling, writhing, frenzied men. They had no weapons, of course, but they did foarful damage with their bare hands. Massachusetts was fighting New York, Pennsylvania was fighting Maine, New Hampshire was fighting Connecticut. The combatants lost all sense of the cause in which they were soldiers, of the fact that they were leagued together against a foe under one flag. All idea of patriotism arul duty was smothered in the wild desire to slay. Yells, screams, oaths, rent the air. When a man went down it was the last of him. He was Immediately kicked into insensibility by a hundred pairs of feet. "I got next to the wall of the stockade and lay down. A fellow had fallen near me with a great gash upon his right temple, from which the blood pattered upon the floor. I pulled him on me. I lay as if stunned and watched the whirling cor bt through hplfclosed c.ves. More than one maniac paused to look at ne, but thl iking that I was past all fighting; hurried on. All enormous Norwegian got hold of n huge boot, probably pulled from the foot of some soldier, and with this in his hind and using it. as a club he ran amuck. Men went dowfo before him like ninepins. When the boot rose and fell 011 some hapless victim that victim went to the earth without a moan. Finally four men got behind the Norwegian, jumped on him, bore hirn to the ground, and choked him Into insensibility. Refore they left him they had beaten his face into a pulp. "The fight was continued far Into the night, and when day broke insensible men were lying everywhere. One poor fellow had his back broken and died subsequently in hospital. Noses were bitten off, ears pulled off, eyes gouged ou. Many of the men were utterly blind, their eyes having been closed from blows. The camp surgeons were busy for a week. I was without a scratch, but covered with blood. I would rather fight the Southerners four years than pass another night In the slave pen." The Trne Soldier. ' Said Col. Hunt, of Kansas, in a re cent conversation: 'The real soldiers' of the war vere in the ranks, and didn't wear shoulder strap:. I was a private during the first five months of the war. The private Joses his Identity. He has no personality. He Is merely a part of a great butchering machine. There Is no -glory for him. I heard the bullets whizzing at Wilson's Creek, and my hair flood on end. When we charged I forgot fear, of course. When I was an orilcer, I had my men to look after, the orders of my superiors to execute, and the possible honor of glory and success. I left tbe army an oflicer, but I have never forgotten my experience in the ranks, and I honor the real heroes of the war, tho men who stood In the ranks, actuated solely by patriotism and personal heroism. My most heroic solider days, my most patriotically unselfish days, were spent in the ranks." There Is a true soldier for you. What Made Htm Draw. Much having been written at one time and another about Gen. Ioe's disinclination to take up -the sword on the part of the South, and the reasons that finally Impelled hhn to the course he took, Artemus Ward, we think, hit the nail on the head -when he gave us the "truth of the history" in the following words: "Robert Leo is a noble fellow. He was opposed to the war at the first, and drnwed his word very reluctantly. In fact, ho wouldn't have drawed his sword at all, only he had a large stock of military titles on hand, which he did not want to waste." Odd and End. A kangaroo consumes as much grass as four to six sheep. The first copper cent was coined in New Haven in 1GS7. Tha temperature of blooms is always slightly higher than the surroundiug air.

Distressed at his son's refusal to enfer the ministry and his preference for lealing In horses, a farmer was telling 'lis sorrow to a neighbor.

One of the quickest ways of Improving the soil of a farm is to put it down to clover, field by field, and pasturing the hogs on It. Cow peas may also be sown, and when full growth is attained the hogs may be turned in. An old fruit grower says that the pick Is the best tool he ever used around apple trees when the ground has become too hard. He sinks the pick S or 10 Inches into the soil and merely pries the dirt loose, without disturbing the roots at all. It 13 estimated by competent authorities that over -It per cent of the food products of the better classes in the United States consist of animal products. In other words, half of the amount spent for food of the average family goes for meat, eggs and dairy products. This fact suggests why U pays tho farmer to raise stock. Many of the dairy farmers have kept themselses poor by trjing to conduct business on the same scale as some rich lty farmer who Is not at all veKndcnt upon his Income from his farm to pay his expenses of the labor and equipment necessary to conduct bis farming 01 erat ions on an elaborate Bcale. Fnimers should study to know the weeda that grow on their farms. One man aays he knows the name of every weed in his section of the state. When he sees a new weed he immediately finds out what it is called and by tak lng STich an Interest In weeds he has his farm practically free of them. The best methods of eradication is part of the rtudy of weeds. A government bulletlu says that except in a general way the fertilizer requiiement of soils becomes st proliem for each farm, or for each class of farms under like conditions of soil"! climate and system of cropping and fertilisation. The Indications are that fertilizers containing relatively more potah and nitrogen than do those now In general use would prove more ef-fect'f-?. In the Northern States alfalfa can be more easily started In tho early part of Angr.st than In April, as when given the late planting opiortunlty Is afforded during the preceding months to Uli most of the weed seeds that may be lodged In tho soil. The soil should be put In the best of tilth end the seed cither drilled in or dragged jpnough eo that there will be sufficient moisture for purposes of germination. It is wdl to remember that alfalfa, like ved clover, does not do well on low cir undralned soils. WHh a view to freeing themselves from tha dictation of beef prices by the Cbloago packing houses, a group of Central Iowa farmers have lately shipijed a carload of fine beeves direct to Portland, Me., where they will bo loadedfcfor shipment to England.

When the chickens arc 0 to 10 weeks old at the Maine Experiment Station and tbs cockerels weigh li to $ pounds, the sexes arc separated and the cockerels put by themselves Into vacant brooder houses, 100 to a house.

This is made of six parts corn meal, two parts middlings, one-half part Unseed meal and two parts beef scrap by weight, and mixed with tepid water: milk would be better. They are fed nil they will eat in one-half hour, when the troughs are removed and cleaned. Tho yards are kept clean by covering theta with sand, straw or hay when they get dirty. The birds will stand this feeding for two or three weeks with good appetites. When they comnieKe taking less they are dressed fcr market, and usually weigh 2i pounds drewod. - Have Your Seed Tested. Tho United States Department of Agriculture, in co-operation with the Missouri College of Agriculture and Experiment Station, has Installed at Columbia, Mo., n laboratory for the testing of seeds for Missouri farmers. This laboratory will be thoroughly equipped and It will be possible for the reports cn seed Bamples sent In to be returned Immediately. All that is necessary Is for the farmer to send in the sample with his name attached and a letter accompanying It stating whether be wlrtcs simply n quality test made or whtfJier he wishes both a quality and genrlnatlon test. This work will be frcS of charge for all farmers and seodmen. Tie farmers of Missouri iTre wasting annually thousands of dollars on Impvre seeds and seeds of low vitality. and the damage from weeds which are beitU introduced is scarcely to be overemphasized. Th;:s far the farmers ha vi- len almost at the mercy of unscrirpulcus seed dealers, and It Is for thl3 reason that this laboratory Is bing installed. It will be possible under this arrangement for a farmer to write to sfed companies for samples and quotations, send these samples to Columbia for testing and then make an order tn the result of this examination. It s hoped that every Missouri farmer wTll tak? advantage of this opportunity to know the character and value of the seeds he buys. Missouri Democrat. Work In the Farm Dairy. Too many farmers' wives do n?t know that salting is one of tho most impcrtart things In buttermaklng.

No wonder I If the ,?ow is off her feed, droops or show nnj signs of Illness, she should be tfken from the herd at once. It is a misjjke to change a cow's food suddenly and radically. If the cow is thriving fVed should never be changed. Newspapers wrapped around milk cans Will keep them cool while being take? to the creamery. Thin 3 IW. As fcir its other constituents are concerbcel a milk poor in fat is as valu?.be x food as a milk rich in fat. The fttf i rentage, tho popular standard f?y which milk Is Judged, Is mos valu&bie, while the proportions of the albuminoids, sugars and salts vary but littlo t.i the different samples of milk. In otVr words, while the energy-producing nr.d heat-giving qualities of the seveiM kinds f milk may be great or little, tho valuable proteld ingredient, whlcfe s;o to the building up of the tlssurv-the prime property of any food-iTrialn very much tho same in all vfTitlrs of cow's mllki Thva a "thin" milk is for all purposes, save for energy and heat production, &s valuable a food as the socalled "rHi milk." Indeed, it not Infrequently happens, as the experimental breeding of young growing animate has sVwii, that a thiu milk may prova In th hing run more flesh-forming than a ilch milk. Inasmuch as the forme? is less liable to Induce gastroentric d.Vovders. Let us consider what this irNins. It means, first of all, that the ttormous quantity is turned to more rconomical use than the feeding of animals or the manufacture of "ivory'- for table knives and piano keys. The cTespl:-d skim milk is a valuable rrtlclo of food, capable of supplying many of tho wauts of the organism, and, from its lightness and digestibility, peculiarly suitable to those whose digestive powers are debilitated. It means, further, that buttermilk, which can be had for the asking almost anywhere In this country, is also a valuable food for men and women, although at present utilized only to food pigs. Surely, If he Is esteemed the greatest benefactor to the race who can grow two grains of corn where only one grew lefore, In a like ma.iner honor should be pa'd him who rescues a waste product and transforms it into a valued article of a nation's diet.

USEFUL DESERT PLANT.

ol. Once Thought Worthless, 1 Found to Tic Fr.ll of Alcohol. Another wild desert plant that grows nrofusely upon many millions of acres jf land in the mouutainous region of .vestern Texas now Is being used as a profitable source of revenue, says tho Kansas City Star. It is tho sotol, which is said to be found in no other Tart of the United States. It is of quick, sturdy growth. It long has been known that alcohol could be made from this plant, but it is only within the last few months that steps have been taken to utilize this knowledge In a commercial way by the manufacture of denatured alcohol from the largo bulb which forms a part of the growth. This bulb Is situated just above the ground ami frequently Is a foot in diameter. The 'percentage of alcohol which It contains is said to be larger-ihan In any other known product. It was not until in the last session of Congress that authority was granted for the manufacture of denatured alcohol from the sotol plant. As a result of this Federal permission, a sotol distillery has been established at El Taso and large shipments of the sotol bulb are being made from the Alpine section to that place for conversion into the denatured product. When the early Spanish explorers first penetrated the region along the Rio Grande River below Alpine, more than two centuries ago, they found that the Pueblo and other Indian tribes had a knowledge of the alcoholic' properties of the sotol plant. Primitive stills were in operation from which a fiery white liquor was obtained. The Indians were wont to indulge freely in this native intoxicant. The sotol liquor still is a favorite beverage among the Mexicans of tho border. The American cowboy of this region ha,s an intimate knowledge of the "fighting" qualities of this liquor. It Is one of the phases of initiation which the tenderfoot Is always put through upon the border ranches. "The main objection to the stuff Is that you've got to run a mile to get your breath after you have taken a drink of It," ßaid a cowboy the other day. Legal Information mum In Muller v. Oregon, 28 Supreme Court Reporter, 324, the United States supreme court held the Oregon statute, providing that no woman shall be employed In any mechanical establishment, factory, or laundry more than ten hours in any one day, constitutional The decision proceeds on the theory oi the inherent difference In physical structure of the two sexes, and the neJ cessity of protecting women both foi their own sakes and the welfare of posterity. Relator In mandamus proceedings alleged that a certain person was exercising, without right, the office of treasurer of a corporation ; that he had applied to the state's attorney and tc the attorney general for leave to Institute quo warranto proceedings, but his request Had been refused. The supreme court of Illinois decided (People v. Healy, S2 Northeastern Reporter, 503) that mandamus will lie to compel signature of a petition therefor, when the officer to whom application Is made abuses the discretion Intrusted to him in such matters. The United States supreme court, In Adair v. United States, 2S Supreme Court Reporter, 277, held tho act of Congress forbidding employers to threaten emploj-es with loss of employment, or to unjustly discriminate against any employe because of his membership In a labor organization. Invalid, as It violated the fifth amendment of the federal Constitution, deehiriug that no jersoi"all be deprived of liberty or projierty without due process of law. Such liberty was held to embrace the right to make contracts for the purchase and sale of labor, of which the act In question constituted nn unlawful Invasion. Defendants were charged with entering into a conspiracy to cause certain lersons to make entries of coal lauds In their own names, to be paid for by money furnished by a corporation In which defendants were Interested and t. which the lands were to be conveyed. i The United States district court of Colorado, In United States v. Keltel, 137 Federal Reporter, 30d, concluded that "the acts charged did not make out i crime ; that the entrymen were qualified as such. They obtained no more land than the acreage limited by the act, and they paid the price fixed by Congress." It was further held that the charge did not relate tp matters within the .Jurisdiction of the secretary 3f the Interior as that phrase Is used Section 4740 of the Revised Statutes (Ü. S. Comp. St. 1001, p. 3270), provld lng punishment for the making or presentation of certain false and fraudulent affidavits, declarations, certificates, etc., pertaining to matters wlhin the jurisdiction of the secretary of the interior. The Hoad to Success. John G. Johnson, Philadelphia's famous lawyer, was talking In the smoke room of a liner about work. "In my youth," said Mr. Johnson, "I was ambitious. Ambitious In an aimless ami diultory way. In early youth, of course, one understands neither life nor one's self. "An aged millionaire questioned me Due day good-humoredly. "You are ambitious, he said. " I am,' I agreed. " 'Why,' said the millionaire, 'do you want to rise?' "So that I can do as I like,' I answered. "The millionaire smiled and shook his head.

Why take sickening: salts or repulsive castor oil? "Goes through you like a

dose of salts' means violence, grips, gripes, gases, soreness, irritation, and leaves your stomach and bowelsweak and burnt out. Might just as well take concentrated lye. Then there's castor oil, disgusting, nauseating truck that your stomach refuses unless you disguise the taste. Fool your own stomach, eh? Don't ever believe that anything offensive to your taste or smell is going to do you real good. Nature makes certain things repulsive, so you "will not take them.

"About four years ago I had a very severe attack of inflammatory rheumatism. My skin peeled, and the high fever played havoc with my hair, which came out In bunches. I also had three large bed sores on my back. I did not gain very rapidly, and my appetite was very poor. I tried majny 'sure cures' but they were of little help, and until I tried Cuticura Resolvent I had had no real relief. Then my complexion cleared aud soon I felt belter. The bed sores went very soon after a few applications of Cuticura Ointment, and when I used Cuticura Soap and Ointment for my hair it began to regain Its former glossy appearance. Mrs. Lavina J.
