tlun >!nr* tlie Oraelery.
A tombstone censor is employed by
most large cemeteries. It is tin* duty
of this unit to see that nothing unseem
ly in the way of a t imbstone is put up.
A young engineer in a Norristown
mill was hilled l?y the explosion of a
boiler, and the family of this young
man. believing that the mill owners
had known all ?: that the boiler
was defective. ariuaily had carved on
the toiuhstone the sentence, "Murdered
by his masters." The tombstone cen
sor. ??f course, refused to sanction such
an epitaph.
On the death of a certain noted prize
tighter the surviving brother of the
man wanted to put in a glass case be
side the grave a championship belt,
four medals. :i pair of gloves and other
trophies of (lie ring. But the censor's
negative was tirm.
A widow who believed that the phy
sician was responsible for her hus
band's death wished to put on the
tomb, "lie employed a cheap doctor."
but the tombstone censor showed her
that such an inscription would lay her
open to heavy damages for libel.
Atheists sometimes direct in their
wills that shocking blasphemies be
carved on their monuments. The cen
sor. however, sees to it that these blas
phemies do not disfigure the cemetery. ;

Why Suffer From Rheumatism?
Why suffer from rheumatism
when one application of Chamber
lain's Pain Balm will relieve the
pain? The quick relief which this
liniment affords makes rest and
sleep possible, and that alone is
worth many times its cost. Many i
who have used it hoping only for
a short relief from suffering have
been happily surprised to find that
after awhile the relief becomes
permanent. Mrs. V. H. Leggett
of Yum Yum, Tenn., U. S. A.,
writes: "I am a great sufferer
from rheumatism, all over from
head to foot, and Chamberlain's
Pain Balm is the only thing that
will relieve the pain." For sale

WASHINGTON LETTER
[SpccisU Correspondence.]
Secretary of War Taft is giving a
jpod deal of energy and thought to the
solution of a problem which is of far
greater i>ersonal importance to him
than the affairs of state. He Is busy
trying to reduce his weight, which Is
more than 3(?0 pounds.
With Mr. Taft it is a question of his
health, for the doctor has told him that
if he does not materially reduce his
weight he will suffer during the two
mouths he will be confined to a steam
ship next summer 011 his trip to the
Philippines. In his extremity he has
taken up horseback riding in desperate
earnestness uml takes a long trip every
afternoon. With all his weight Mr.
Taft knows how to ride, and only once
has Colonel Edwards, who always leads
the way. succeeded in getting him into
a hole where he was forced to dismount
, and lead his horse. That was when
they struck an almost peri>endicular
declivity of fifteen feet with only one
doubtful break in the side.
An International Alliance.
The next international alliance to In
terest Washington will be the marriage
of Miss Frances Newlands, youngest
daughter of Senator Newlands of Ne
vada, tj Lieutenant Leoi>old von Bre
dow of the (Jerniau army, which is
scheduled to iu place in this city
about the 1st of .May. immediately aft
er the arrival of the bridegroom elect,
who obtained the consent of his em
peror and sailed for America April 20.
Lieutenant von Bredow, who is now
stationed in Berlin with his regiment,
the Cuirassier guard, is well known in
Washington, where he was an attache
of the (Jerinan embassy during 1!K)3.
Miss Newlands is the youngest of the
three attractive daughters of Senator
Newlands, and through their mother,
who was a Miss Sharon of California,
Inherited large fortunes.
A Heniurkable Plant.
Those in charge of that section of
the government greenhouses devoted to
tropical plants and agriculture recent
ly witnessed the blooming of a very
remarkable r<lant. This is the Amor
phophallus riviere, a plant indigenous
to Cochin China and the only speci
men in Washington. The plant looks
like a giant Jack-in-the-box or Indian
turnip, the specimen in question stand
ing live feet nine inches in height. The
stalk is given, mottled with curious
looking white reticulations, which
en use it to resemble the bo;ly <>f a
snake. The blossom opens out in the
same pulpit fashion as the Jack-in-the
box of our southern woods, and out of
this rises a giant purple red spathe.
The blossom has a most pungent, sick
ruing ami disagreeable odor, which in
the present case so permeated the
greenhouse in which the plant was
placed that work had to be almmh/aed
there for nearly two days. One man,
an employee of the department who
has this greenhouse under his care,
contracted a severe headache as a re
sult of inhaling the odor.
X i' iv Army iioNpitnl.
Secretary Tail approved the recom
mendation of Surgeon (Jeneral O'Heiily
for the erection of a new general army
hospital on the Cameron tract on the
west sitie of Hrigluwood avenue, near
ly opposite the .-.attic National ceme
tery. Congress lixed the limit of ?-ost j
of this hospital, including site, at $:i00,- '
til mi and appropriated $1(10,000, which
was made immediately available, for
the purchase of the site.
The property acquired for the pur
pose contains about forty-three acres j
and cost about $08,000. leaving $2,000 |
of the appropriation to be devoted to 1
other expenses in connection with the
new building. The property is owned j
almost entirely by ex-Senator Donald
Cameron of Pennsylvania.

Government Pre** Room.
The press rooms of the government
printing office are said to be a verifi
cation of the saying that "the use of
paper is the barometer of a nation's
progress," for the greater the progress
of the American nation the more
presses the public printer ls compelled
to install. The press room of a mod
ern newspaper is one of its show
places," and the same holds true of the
government office. Some idea of the
magnitude of the main press room of
the largest printing office in the world
might be gained from the statement
that the daily consumption of paper
Is about nine tons, 300 pounds of ink
being required. Twenty tons of paper
of different kiuds are used each day
In the operation of the entire plant,
over twenty-five cars being required
to deliver a month's supply of tills one
item from the mills.
\o Hnntlnic Permit* For Alnaka.
Secretary Wilson stated recently that
It had been determined not to issue any
hunting permits for Alaska this year.
| Game continues to grow scarce in the
territory, and the greater the scarcity
the worse becomes the conditio? of
the natives, who depend entirely upon
their game supply for meat in the win
ter tea son. No permit! were issued for
hunting last year, and persons bunting
! without permits will be severely han
dled. Moose especially are said to be
disappearing fast, and tbe problem con
fronts the government every winter of
whether assistance should not be giv
en tbe natives In the way of food sup
plies to tide them over tbe season.

AN OCEAN ENIGMA.
Mr*terr of the Fate of the Crew of
the Ship Marie Celeste.
Undoubtedly the most extraordinary
of all the mysteries of the sea is the
fate of the crew of the ship Marie
Celeste, a more fantastic creation ap
parently than novelist ever wove. She
left New York in 1887 for Euroi>e, her
personnel bring thirteen, including the
captain's wife and child. Two weeks
later a British bark sighted her in the
Atlantic. There was no sign of life on
t?oard. A boat was sent to her, and
a most exhaustive search proved her
to be as silent as the tomb, as desert
ed as a pesthouse. Everything was in
its place, even the boats at the davits.
The hull was undamaged, the cargo
untouched. Iliggiug and spars were
intact: the sails were all set. The
crew's weekly wash hung above the
forecastle; an awning covered the iK>op.
Binnacle and wheel and rudder ?? re
complete. The sailors' kils and din
ners were seen in the forecastle. In
the cabin was a sewing machine, with
a child's garment under the needle, and
<?n the table a h;ilf eaten meal. The
chronometer ticked undisturbed in the
chartroom: the cash box was unritieil.
The logbook, posted to within forty
eight hours of the visit, showed the
passage to have been favorable; the
chip's appearance proved there had
been no storm. Evidences of a strug
gle or piracy or murder there were
none. Yet thirteen people had disap
peared as if spirited away by some
supernatural agency, and from that
day to this the mystery has never been
unraveled, though the United States
government spared no effort to solve
it.? 1\ T. McGrath in McClure's Maga
zine.
The Cinme of Quintain.
The game of quintain survives only
in the village of OlTiiam (ireen in Kent,
England. It is so named from an in
strument used in tilting on horseback
with the lanee. It consisted of an up
right post, surmounted by a crossbar
turning 011 a pivot, which had at one
end a tl.it board and at the other a bag
of sand. The object of the tilter was
to strike the board at such a rate of
speed that he would be past and out
of the way before the bag of sand, as
it whirled round, could hit him in the
back.
There is a Difference.
The difference between Kenne-I
dy's Laxative Honey and Tar and j
all other cough syrups is that it !
moves the bowels, thus expelling!
a cold from the system. This re
laxes the nerve tissues and by its
healing and soothing effect on the
throat and lungs the cough is re
lieved ? cured entirely. Kenne- 1
dy's is the original laxative honey '
and tar. It contains no opiates. |

Sir Donald Mackenzie Wallace once
found himself at a club in Edinburgh,
where he fell Info conversation about
Russia with a youth who put forward
some views in which he could not 1
acquiesce. "Oh," said this personage,
"it is al! very well for you to say that
you do not agree with me. but I know
all about it. I have just been review
ing Wallace's ?Russia.'" "And I have
just been writing it." was the natural
reply. The former speaker lived to be
famous. He was R. L. Stevenson.
Sorrow.
Sorrow is not an incident occurring
now and then. It is the woof which is
woven into the warp of life, and he
who has not discerned the divine sa
credness of sorrow and the profound
meaning which is concealed in pain
has yet to learn what fife is.? F. W.

Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy the Very Best.
"I have been using Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy, and want to
say it is the best cough medicine
I have ever taken," says Geo. L.
Chubb, a merchant of Harlan,
Mich. There is no question about
its being the best, as it will cure
a cough or cold in less time than
any other treatment. It should
always be kept in the house ready
for instant use, for a cold can be
cured in much less time when
promptly treated. For sale by
