Music in .a Tomb.

’ , 311's. Ireland, widow Of Robert 'Iree
Band, has decided to make Saratoga her
Edemathe better to carry out the in-
:‘strnctions of her husband, whose body
seedsin a vault in Greenridgc Ceme-
tery annex, near Saratoga.

Mr. Ireland, who died four months
31;. was passionately fond of music.
:11:nt ago he requested that, whichever
tithe two departed first, the survivor
should honor the memory of the 'de-
ceased'by having a music box or some
milks-r instrument placed in the sepul-
«flare and playednat frequent- intervals.

Isl-Eton Moslin agreed to allow Mrs.
firsthand to place a small oak table at
2123‘ head of the casket, on which were

:a handsome music box and a vase of

flowers. Widow Ireland, who carries

the key of the music box, visits the
cemetery daily, rain or shine, and pays
musical reverence t0 the memory of
the deceased. While the favorite airs
of sacred. melody are being rendered
she calmly sits on thevcasket close to
the vase and lovingly communes with
the spirit of the deceased. More than

200 bodies are stored in thev-big vault,

smdasthe silence is so dense that a

the

impressive but weird notes of the music

heartbeat almost creates an echo.

FEMININE CHAT.

How few women ever stop to count
theinlchange. -

The bob-sled is not able to put on
airs any longer.

Chinchilla is worn on everything,
apparently, but night gowns.

Sunday is either the loneliest or the
busiest day in a woman’s life, .
Some of the new jeweled belts are
quite barbaric in their splendor.
The very stylish baby carries about
with it} a tremendous lot of clothes.

Some novel valentine parties W111 be
given by members of the younger set.

The new dimities are as dainty as the
most exacting summer girl could de-
sire.

Individualiy rather than beauty is
the strong drawing card for a woman.

through the iron-grated doors fairly

'BLE‘NHEIM’S balmy HosTEss.‘

_.._

 

Loved by the Tenant841f‘ees Taken at the
.» Gates Devoted to Charity. ,

Blenheim Palace has undergone're-
markable changes since the second
American Duchess of Marlborough has
nade it her home. _ Ten yeal‘s‘ago
31enheim, except for, its size, bore
inything but a resemblance to even
1 modest ideal of what a ducal palace
mould be. ' It was no secret that the
roof was leaking, and the best of the
wt treasures, for which Blenheim was
IO famous, hadwpassed ’into other
lands under the hammer.

In spite of the fact that the palace
.s vastly too large for anything but a
royal residence, that its architecture
:ould hardly be described as homelike
>r beautiful, and ,the interior decora-
;ions were disgracefully shabby when
irst she saw it, the little lady who
was engaged to the Duke admired it
from the first, decided to make it her
dome, and since her marriage has
groved her interest in and affection
for‘the ugly old pile. .

The fact is clearly patent to the
visitor who saw Blenheim under the
old regime and who stops in the vil-
Eage beyond the park gates for a. bit
if lunch and a. gossip with any of the
sociable'townsfolk. One and all. they
lave a. word of admiring praise for
':he Duchess. It evidently did not take
her long to win .the hearts of the.eld-
erly inhabitants and the children.
Since her. coming all fees taken in at
:he gates from tourists who visit the

 

‘palace have been devoted to charity,

1nd out of her own pocket and ‘her
own heart the Duchess devises many
schemes for amusing and benefiting
oer husband’s tenants—Philadelphia

”W
free Homes. ' i
. Twenty million more acres of the
' public domain for free homes I That's
the meaning of the bill which the House
luatumittee on public lands favorably re-
ported on: Saturday and which throws
open to settlers the lands acquired
iro'mthe various Indian tribes. If the
masnrc should become a law:it would
Ewing 20,000.000 more acres under the
operation of the free homestead laws.
(valcusly that’s important. Most of
the public lands, outside the arid belt,
which are available for settlement un-
der the homestead act, are now occu-
pied. but the pending proposition, if it
doesn’t get a legislative rap in the so-
:lal- plexus, will open up another im-
mense- area to home-seekers.
if you want to set up shop under the
ire-e. homestead laws, we suppose you
know that the conditions are, says the
'Waierbury Republican. You must be
:a citizen or an applicant for citizenship.
Then own the payment of a nominal
fee of $5 or $10, you may locate upon
iiilacres of unappropriated public land.

fgwenument. at the end of five years,

farm. ' If you are in a great hurry to

tcalpancy after the entry, purchase the.

The general homestead act was
passed in 1862 and it has proved to be
to: of the most beneficent laws ever
enacted by Congress, although a lot of
hand has been committed under it.
213179: terms of the act were remarkably
511$Wnil and the generosity of the Unit-
ed States toward actual settlers on the
public domain has been without- paral-
lel. Under the operation of the act a
free home has been available for, every
custom, and hundreds of millions of
was have been’taken up by actual
settlers. The attraction of free homes
fan-stimulated a. great migration to the
35:53. during the past generation and
Ella-4 caused tens of thousands of persons
Mlmcome western farmers. The in-
fluence of the free homestead act on the
development of‘the country cannot be
renaggerated. Of course anybodycould

{Enough fake entries have sprung up
under the law and any good lawyer
would show that the United States has

HURRAH MEANS KILL.

inch is- the IntercullngCflIs‘COIrery of a
German “'riter.

The philologists, in the course of
heir interesting digging into the mys-
eries of words, are always discovering
1ew facts, of which less learned mem-
1ers of the community have had no
nkling or idea. The latest word to
-eceive an entirely new interpretation
5 “Hurrah!” that stirring one of en-
'husiasm which bursts from the throat
11' an assembled multitude when its
:motions are touched. Few who,
vhen in an ecstasy of delight, shout
'Hurrah! hurrah!” ever imagine that
hey are crying out, “Kill! kill!”

Yet this is the discovery of a Ger—
nan writer, whoseiassertion is borne
mt by a passage which leaves no doubt
n the matter. Hurrah is merely the
mperative of the verb “Urauah,”
17111011 is the Turkish word meaning
Lo kill. _ . -

were rushing to meet their foes, and

urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.

WHAT TO DO.

There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. It
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef-
fects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to urin-
ate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for . its wonderful
cures Of the most distressing cases. If
you need a medicine you should have

cents and one dollar. You may have a

Vinegar as a?) Antidote.

ProfessorrCarleton of New York,
states that vinegar is an excellent
.ntidote to carbolic acid. When ap—
plied to a. cutaneous or mucous sur—
'ace which has been burnt by the acid,
:he characteristic whitish appearance
produced by the caustic at once dis-
tppearsgand subsequent scarring is to
a. large extent prevented. Vinegar is
tlso said to be equally good as an
-tntidote when the told has been taken
lnto the stomach; and 'it is recom-
mended that the patient should as
soon as possible drink some? vinegar
mixed with an equal quantity of wa-
ter, after which other measures may,
be taken to counteract the poison
