Plymouth Rock has become an .object of veneration in the United States Because of its interesting historical associations. As is well known, it is the rock or ledge on which the pilgrims are believed to have landed when they first stepped from their boats In the harbor of what Is now Plymouth, Mass. In 1775 part of the rock was removel to the vicinity of Pilgrim hall, but was afterward restored to Its original site, and Is now under the 6tcne canopy that surmounts the mala rock on Water street. Charles Sumner ßaid: "Frooi the deck of the Mayflower, from the landing at Plymouth rock, to the Senate of the United States is a mighty contrast, covering whole' spaces of history hardly less than from the wolf that suckled Romulus and Remus to that Roman Senate which on curule chairs swayed Italy and the world." Preachers Xot Overpaid. ( In England the early Methodifcl preacher, when away from home, was expected to get his food from his congregation, and when at home was allowed 36 cents a day, with the stipulation that the acceptance of an invitation to dine led to a due deduction His wife wa3 allowed 96 cents a week with a further concession of five dol lars quarter for each child. At the Bristol conference of 1752, however, a definite salary was fixed. For the fiture the preacher was able to call $(.G a year his very own. A GOOD CHANGE k t'kaiee of Pood Works Wonders. The wrong food and drink causes a lot of trouble in this world. To change the food is the first duty of every person that Is ill, particularly frc n stomach and nervous troublrs. As an Illustration: A lady In Mo. has, with her husband, been brought around to health again by leaving off coffee and some articles of food that did not agree with them. They began using Postum and Grape-Nuts food. She says: "For & number of years I suffered with stomach and bowel trouble which kept getting worse until I was very 111 most of the time. About four years ago I left off coffee and began taking Postum. My stomach and bowels improved right along, but I was so reduced In flesh and so nervous that the least thing would overcome me. "Then I changed my food and began using Grape-Nuts In addition to Postum. I lived oa these two principally for abou four months. Day by day I gained In flesh and strength until now the nfrvous trouble has entirely dlsappeartd and 1 'feel that I owe my life and health to Postum and Grape-Nuts. "Husband Is 73 yeare old and he was troubled, for a long tirre, with occasional cramps, and slept badly. Finally. I prevailed upon him to leave off coffee and take Postum. He had stfod out for a long time, but after he tried Postum for a few days he found that he could sleep and that his cramp3 disappeared. He was satisfied and has never gone back to coffee. "I have a brother in California who has been using Postum for several years; his whole family u?e it al-o because they have had Euch go d results from it." Look in pkgs. for the lilt'.- b-vk, "The Road to Wellville." 'There's a Ra-on." l:er read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. Thsy are genuine, true, and full of htaian interest.

No (German TnrilT Wnr. Secretary Knox lias averted a tariff war, which threatened, with (lormany. : and by the agreement which secures the minimum rates for both the contracting countries, an agreement of similar character will be forced upon France, and as a corollary to such French agreement, one with Canada also, we trust. The consideration actuating W'ashi ington as regards the German convenI tion, was not alone the conservation of j the half billion yearly exchange between Germany, her colonies and ourJ selves, but also the leverage power i which the agreement furnishes us as against countries that might be otherj wise disposed to withhold from us the tenefit of their lowest schedules. France is a competitor of Germany i in our markets, and if she wishes to j hold her own in these markets, must I secure from us the minimum rates ; which Germany will now enjoy. Furj thermore. she must, in order to secure j such equal advantages, give to our im- , portations equal advantages with the most favored nation, which, as it happens, is Canada, with whom France i has but just concluded a commercial I treaty. Likewise the Dominion, now that we are to be on the same basis as herself with Continental Europe, will be deprived of a strong inducemeni 10 lsni our lärm im :iuv i iminations and prohibitions. Thus, in the matter of international exchange of commodities. Germany has been the key to the whole ficM. We now have the key. And in the .Mght ,of the strategic importance of coming to an agreement with German', we can well afiord to waive the j particulars of microscopic examination I of cur meats, and of the drawback j paid to German exporters of grain. As a matter of fact, these incidents are not necessarily waived, but are tak?n out of the subject of the friff and reserved for future negotiation. Even it Germany has wen a victory as regards tho.-e particulars, it must be remembeied public opinion here was not keen concerning them, and in view of the popular agitation concerning the price of meats, afforded our government no moral support a fact of which Berlin was aware, and of which she took full advantage. Moreover, such particulars, as compared with the half-billion yearly exchange of commodities, are too unimportant to warrant a general disturbance. There have been periods in which a Secretary of State with mind enough to 'rise to the possibilities of his office, found the world pretty ready to respond to his move.-;. Tv.a3 to in the time of John Hay. who had the inspiration and the mind. The Secretary of State to-day is confronted by tenfold more difficulties. Nations seek to block us. A greater game among the nations is now being played than at any time since the sixties. Mr. Knox cannot have the stupendous and facile success of Mr. Hay owing to the nature of things; but he is engaged in a much more complicated and difficult task, and be I.J doing well. Minneapolis Journal. Jtut Savflnsf Wood. The country has said a lot about Senator Nelson W. Aldrich in recent months. Aldrich has said nothing. The people have told what they think of the Senator from Rhode Island, his talents and his company. Aldrich has not replied. Yet it must not be assumed that Aldrich has improved this chance for meditating upon the state of his soul, thus wonderfully illuminated by the public opinion. He probably hasn't thought a thought to the effect that he might be all wrong, He has taken the time as his cue for keeping very, very mum and for sawing wood. . It will be a serious error if this apparent meekness Is interpreted as an admission of failure, as the resignation to fate of one whose powers are upon the wane. The Senator is wcrking his old tricks, though more secretly. He Is exercising his ancient tyrannies though in the dark. Dy his direction Senator Borah was put through a j rourse of catechisu: to discover, If possible, if he was Insurgent or regular. Nothing being . learned, the ' committee for which Rorah was book ed was packed to make It predominantly regular. Senator Elkins resolution calling for an inquiry into the high costs of living was shelvl for a month because Aldrich thought it might bring out flaws in the new tariiT law. Againti he had nothing to say when he was attacked upon the floor for thl3 bit of smallneas. The Aldrich voice Is mt a whisper, out the Aldrich back and arms continue to swing up and down with regularity over the saw-horse. Toledo Blade. Misplaced HI Mont.

TATt-IFF AND PRICES. The (ountiy will ugrce with Senator Klkins of West Virginia in his contention that he has always been a I'ri.iul of the protective tariff. He w:is foreed to make this statement, which should not have been necessary, iu the Senate Thursday. The West Virginia Senator was protesting against the action of the Senate Finance Committee in giving precedence if not preference to a measure introduced by Senator Lodge of Massachusetts over one which had been introduced by Mr. Klkins. providing for an investigation of the causes for the increasing cost of living. Mr. Klkins intimated in fact, he did more than intimate that Senator Aldrich had discriminated against his bill out of a fear that sin h an investigation as he proposes would in some way be found to antagonize the present tariff law. He disclaimed, for himself, any such intention, and then declared his long fealty to the protective principle as it is formulated in ih . law. He said that he was not open to the suspicion of contemplating any attack upon the protective principle, and he did not think that principle would suffer by such an investigation as he has proposed making. The Senator from West Virginia has the rigt of it. He is like that railway engineer who. in turning a curve in the road, and seeing a bunch of steers on a bridge immediately ahead, threw wide open everything which would increase the pressure of steam, cleared the track and avoided a wreck

of the train. It can be clearly proved that the existing tariff law is not responsible for the increased cost of living. More increases ran be found in articles outside of. than inside of. its schedules. The Elkins investigation, if it could lead to uncovering some of the combines which force dealeis of all sorts and all sizes into price-Axing agreements or out of business, might lead to inquiry as to where and by whom these associations are financed. We are unable to presume that a man of the intelligence of Senator Aldrich is not aware that the tariff law could not be convicted of forcing up prices in lines it in no way touches. It would be equally impos sible to convince as that Senator Aldrich do-s net know that an Elkins investigation of causes would clinch the fact that, in a great many lines, the development of American industry under the stimulus of protection has forced prices down. We have turned the curve; no matter wMcre. We have stood pat on the tariff law without much effort to justify it. except in the results It is showing. As cf old, it has been hard to convince the man with a full stomach that he will f-ver be asiain hungry. He is worried by his prosperity to the point of forgetting his old Jdversity. There Is a bunch of steers on the bridge ahead. The engine cannot be reversed. We must go ahead and in a way to char the track. If the fall elections should bring back the tariff question into politics. Senator Elkins might '.oon be able to get an investigation of the cause of lowprices without much trouble.

The earnings in the last quarter of H)Ut were so heavy and the outlook for business in 11)10 was so good that the company declared ia extra dividend upon the common stock, which places it upon the 4 per cent basis with which it started.

If the world was created G.000 years ago and the story of the expulsion 'I'om Eden is not a myth, confirmatory evidence of that fact will be Tound by old-line Bible people In some of the things recently unearthed In N'ubia. From very recent research it las been established that disease entered the world in the form of gout ind tuberculosis not less than 6,000 rears ago either entered it at that lime or had been there for an indeteriiinable time previously. Nearly sixty centuries have rolled iway since the Nubians lived in the Valley of the X-ile and were victims of the Intestinal concretions which seem to be the cause of appendicitis. Fortunately for archaeological science, the diggers took with them an anatomist or two, who knew :. thing or so about '.heir business, and turned over to their Inspection the bodies that were unearthed from this ancient civilisation ivhlch has been lying buried under the tvash and sands of the Nile from a tlmo which merges into the vanishing point of history. In these excavations were found evidences of a civilization from a date preceding the earliest j known dj nasties of Egyptian kings lown to the Byzantine age. These people seem to have lived undisturbed In the possession of their fertile fields and their well-built towns, probably under the protection of the kings of Egypt. In fact, a careful examination of their heads and faces showed that they were in reality Egyptians themselves. They did not belong to the aristocracy, but were rather the hum)!e tillers of the soli the farmers of that prehistoric time. They had a knowledge of copper, but they had not Vet 1 progressed suiiiclently far in the metallic arts in the period previous to say 1S00 B. C. to use that metal for instruments. The only utility they could find for copper was its use as ornaments for the person. For this purpose it was manufactured and sold

A FASCINATING OCCUPATION FOR GIRLS. There U a distinct revival in china painting among young girls in the east, and In addition to becoming expert in the art it is considered quite an essential part of the training to make a study of the best examples of old china to be found in museums and elsewhere, and from them gather Inspiration for the decoration of modern pieces. 1 In every department of art or Industrial training nowadays the "home' idea Is made prominent. Girl3 are learning domestic economy and domestic science, and everywhere the predominant thought Is the fitting of girls for the domestic side of life, and it may be because cf this wave of fireside sentiment that the decoration of table ware Is so deservedly popular. To quote one of the leading instructors. "There is, to my mind," said she, "nothing more closely allied to domestic life than the hand decorating of china. It gives a girl a love for beautiful things for the home table and opeu3 her eyes to the nicety of table appointments, and we all know that a well appointed table Is usually the index to a successfully managed household. "To make collections of any sort 13 an admirable thing, but the collecting of rare china for girls Is particularly so, for It not only gives the collector a special Interest In life, but she can never afterward pass by a bit of fine china, porcelain or pottery but she will glean enjoyment from it. "The entire outfit, colors, brushes, oils and palette knives can be purchased for between $3.00 and $4.00, perhaps more,. perhaps less. A course of ten lessons should-make the average girl quite Independent of a teacher, except, of course, when it came to seme new and vexing problem; then she would doubtless require the advice of an instructor. In this art, as others, there is a great difference In girls, for some are quick with their hands while others are clumsy."

extensively. Fcr tools the Nubians of that date used stone, and very good and sharp-cutting tools they made of it, too. Flint lance-heads and flint knives were found m abundance, but no trace of a copper tool was In evidence for some centuries. The next period ranges from 2S00 B. C. to 180Ö B. C, during which copper was discovered to be highly useful as a cutting metal and was manufactured accordingly. This was also the period of greatest change in the bodily characters of these people. The anatomists who made the examinations declared that a new typo of man had been Imported among the people of the lower Nile and had mixed his blood with that of the people he found there before him. The secret of the perfect preservation of bodies for sixty centuries lies in the fact that the people, probably not able to afford tho methods of embalming that were practiced by the "swell" Egyptians, Just took their dead and thoroughly salted tho bodies. One disease which seemed to have been prevalent to an extraordinary degree was rheumatic gout. Thousands of these people had suffered from gout and from rheumatism. Graves were found containing fifteen or twenty bodies, all members of the same family, and several generations of the same family. The anatomists wero thereby enabled to trace peculiar anatomical resemblances from father to son, a3 well as evidences of transmitted disease. That this marvelous method of preserving the dead Is not practicable generally to day Is due to the fact that one of the essentials of the success of the method Is the peculiarly dry atmosphere of Egypt and the unlimited quantities of perfectly dry sand in which to bury the bodies after they have been treated with the salt or the solution of salt which the ancient Nubians used.

people know that the warm air surrounding the earth Is only a thin belt, but we do not most of us know that at ten miles above the earth it would not only be bitterly cold, but the sun would appear quite different. The air I3 stratified in three more t or let's distinct layers. In the lowest we live. It extends about two'mlles and is a region of turmoil, whimsical winds, cyclones and anticyclones. At two miles the freezing point is reached and then there Is a second stratum extending upward for about another six miles. Here the air grows steadily colder and 'drier, the lowest temperature recorded being 167 degrees below freezing point. Here the air j moves in great planetary swirls produced by the spinning of the earth on its axis, so that the wind always blows In the same easterly direction. The greater the height the more furious Is the blast of this relentless gale. After this layer comes the third or Isothermal stratum, discovered almost simultaneously by M. de Bort and Dr. Assrnann. This is called the permanent inversion stratum, because the tempera'.ure Increases with the height reached. But the temperatures so far recorded in the Eecond stratum are not high, being far below zero Fahrenheit, generally somewhere fron 122 degrees to 140 degrees below It. Here the air no longer swirls in a planetary circle. The wind may blow In a direction contrary to that In the 'second layer. And the air Invariably Is excessively dry. W here this third stratum ends no one knows. But it 1 must be at more than eighteen miles above the earth, for sounding balloons have reached this height and have not found the end of the permanent lni vers '.on layer of air. When the influ ence of the upper regions of air upon the lower Is fully understood It raaf be possible to foretell the weather not merely for a day, but for a week. A XJrule, luileed. "He's a brute!"

A I 'n-I nnd I "Ik u res. Most of the wars of ancient history that the young men pore over in Latin and Creek were not very great wars after all, compared with that fought out by their grandfathers for the salvation of the American Repub lic and the cause of liberty. Liook over these dreadful figures, young man, and consider the awful significance of the following facts: Official returns show that about 2,900,000 soldiers enlisted during the war In response to the successive calls of President Lincoln, and of this num ber 186,097 were colored troops Reports show that the Northern and Southern armies met in over 2,000 skirmishes and battles. In 148 of these conflicts the loss on the Federal side was over T.00 men, and in at least ten battles over 10,000 men were re ported lost on each side. The appended list shows that the combined losses of the Federal and Confederate forces in killed, wounded, and missing In the following engagements were: . Shiloh, 21,000; Antietam. 28,000; Stone River, 37,000; Chancellorsville, 2S.000;- Gettysburg. 54.000; Chlckamauga, 33,000; McClellan's Peninsula campaign, 50.000; Grant's Peninsula campaign. 1S0.000; and Sherman's campaign, 12:,000. Official statistics show that of 3,000,000 men enlisted there were killed in battle, 44,238; died of wounds. 40,20."; died of disease, 186,210; died of unknown causes, 24,184; total, 303.S43. This Includes only those whose death while in the army had been actually proven. To this number should be added first, 20,000 men who are known to have died while In the hands of the enemy as prisoners of war, ana many others in the same manner whose deaths are unrecorded; second, a fair percentage of the 203.794 who are put down on the official reports as deserters and missing in action, for those who participated in the war know that men frequently disappeared who, it was certain, had not deserted, yet could not ( otherwise be officially accounted for; third, thousands Aho are burled in private cemeteries all over the North, w ho died while at home on furlough. " The nation's dead are buried in seventy-three cemeteries, of which only twelve are in the Northern States. Among the principal ones In the North are Cypress Hill, with It3 3.7S6 dead; Finn's Point, X. J., which contains the remains of 2,644 unknown dead; Gettysburg, Pa., with its 1,967 known and 1,603 unknown dead; Mound City, HI., with 2,503 known and 2,721 unknown graves; Philadelphia, with 1,900 dead: and Woodlawn, Elmlra, N. Y., with its 3,900 dead. In the South, near the scenes of terrible conflicts, are located the largest depositories of the nation's heroic 'dead: Arlington, Va., 16,201, of which 4,319 are unknown. Beaufort, S. S., 9,20i, of which 4,403 are unknown. Chalmette, La.", 12,911, of which 5,674 are unknown. Chattanooga. Tenn., 12,962, of which 5,974 are unknown.

Winchester, Va., 4,539, of which 2,363 are unknown. In all 300,000 men who fought for the stars and stripes find guarded graves In our national cemeteries. Two cemeteries are mainly devoted to the brave men who perished in the loathsome prisons of the same name Andersonvllle. Ga., which contains 13,714 graves, and Salisbury, with Its 12,126 dead, of which 12,032 are unknown. Of the vast number 'who are Interred In our national cemeteries, 275,000 sleep beneath the soil of the Southern States, and 143,000 rest In graves marked "Unknown." The total number of mei furnished to the Federal army by the United States during the war, under all calls, was 2.6SS.523. The total numbef of colored troops In the Northern army was 123,156. The heaviest loss by disease was suffered by the colored troops. "While but 2,907 died In action and of wounds, the enormously large number of 6,301 died of disease. Among the white troops the proportion of deaths In action and from wounds to the deaths from disease was about one to two; among the colored troops as one to eight. Of the colored troops enlisted one out of every seven died of disease. The proportion among the white troops was one to fifteen.

Vermont's proportion per thousand contributed to the total of deaths in action was 58.22; that of Ohio CG.55; that of New York 25.6S. Massachusetts was 47.76; Iowa, 45.44. In the proportion per thousand ol deaths from disease Iowa led with a percentage of 114.02, and Vermont followed with 91.81. Ohio's percentage was 46.83. The proportion of deaths from all causes in the troops of each State was as follows: Maine, 1 In 7; New Hampshire, l in 7; Vermont, 1 in 6; Massachusetts. 1 in 9; Rhode Island, 1 in 11; Connecticut, 1 in 10; New York, 1 in 12; New Jersey, 1 in 12; Pennsylvania. 1 in 12; Delaware, 1 in 20; Maryland. 1 in 26; Ohio, 1 in 26Indiana, 1 in 8; Illinois, 1 In 7; Michigan, 1 in 6; Wisconsin. 1 in 7; Minnesota, l in S; Iowa, l in 5 (nearly 6); Kansas, 1 in 5; California, 1 in 20 Virginia, 1 In 6; Kentucky, 1 in 19; Missouri, 1 In 9. Again the young man must not forget as he reads of the great battles of history that few of them can compare in magnitude with the great battles of the Civil War, and that the battles of that war were the bloodiest in all the history of wars in the proportion ol killed to those engaged. Waterloo was one of the most desperate and bloody fields chronicled in European history, and yet Wellington's casualties were less than 12 per cent, his losses being 2.432 killed and 058 wounded out of over 100,000, while at Shiloh one side lost in killed and wounded 9,740 out of 34,000, while their opponents reported their killed and wounded at 9,616, making the casualties about 30 per cent. At the great battle of Wagram. Napoleon lost but about 5 per cent. At Wurzburg the French lost but 3 per cent, and yet the army gave up the field and retreated to the Rhine. At Racour, Marshal Saxe tast but 3 per cent. At Zurich. Massena lost but 8 per cent. At Lagrlz, Frederick lost but C(, per cent. At Malplaquet, Marlborough lost but 10 per cent, and at Ramlllies the same intrepid commander lost but 6 per cent. At Contras, Henry of Navarre was reported as cut to pieces, yet his toss was less than 10 per cent. At Lodi. Napoleon lost but y2 per cent. At Yalmy, Frederick William lost but 3 per cent, and at the great battles of Marengo and Austerlitz, sanguinary as they were, Napoleon lost an average of less than 142 per cent. At Magenta and Solferino. In 1859, the average, loss cf both armies was less than 9 per cent. At Konigratz, In 1S68, it was 6 per cent. At Worth, Specherara, Mars le Tour, Gravelotte, and Sedan, in 1870, the average loss was 12 per cent, while at Linden General Moreau lost but 4 per cent, and the Archduke John lost but 7 per cent in killed and wounded. Of the gentlemen who were at West Point during tho period of cadetship fifty-six were killed In battle, and, estimating the rate of killed and wounded at one to five, two hundred nnd eighty were wounded. In addition to the vast list of dead from the war must be added those who have died from wounds received during the war. The killing is still going on -about as rapidly as ever, and the men are dropping daily from "wounds received In action," who ought to live for long years yet. The figures that I have given really give but a glimpse Into the sad truth pf the awful mortality of the war that saved the Union. I hope the young men who read this will feel no more impatience because the sacrifices of the great war are talked about, and they will cut out the figures I have collected for them and save them for reference whenever they feel that way. Chicago Ledger.

The First ltrpentiiiK Itlfle. An Atlanta veteran was talking about his first experience with a repeating rifle. I was out on the picket line," he tells it, "and a lot of Yankees kept shooting at us from the shelter of a pine thicket. Finally we made a break for the thicket and then we had it. Every fellow would pick out his man and then load and shoot, taking advantage of the shelter of the trees. "My Yankee got the first shot, and missed me. As I was only seventy-five or one hundred yards away, I thought I would reach him before he could load again, so 1 made a dash for him. He stepped out from his tree and aimed, but I thought he was just trying to bluff, so I didn't stop until he pulled down on me. "My Lord!' I thought, 'that's the first rifle I ever saw with two barrels! I just halted, but thought the gun surely must be empty now, so1 I started for him again. Well, sir, he Just stood there and bang! bang! bang! like milking a cow. I jumped for a tree mighty quick, I can tell you. I heard hollering behind the tree. It tickled him" mightily. I didn't know, what to make of if. I put my cap out from behind the tree and he banged! banged! down on it. It scared me. I didn't know hew long the thing would hold out. "Presently, though, I saw hlra bending over. His head was protected, but hi3 back was showing, and I took good aim. The ball ploughed through the fleshy part of the thigh, and as he hollered I made for him. lie had dropped his gun and started to run, but he stopped and went back with me. "I carried that old gun back and it wart a great curiosity to our boys. They never did believe that it could shoot sixteen times, and I couldn't prove it because he had only one load left, and we couldn't get any ammunition to fit the' gun. So we broke up the gun to keep the Yankees from getting hold of It again." Atlanti Constitution. Su(fMtfl by the Draffanian.
