solid granite inch,
standing twelve foot

huge bowlder which marks the resting
place of the dead Confederates. On It
Is chiseled In bold letters the wonl
"Americans." At the top of the arch
Is the statue of a Confederate soldier
In full uniform. Tho memorial stands
In the center of the cemetery. Immedi

which Old Glory Hoots.
The cemetery plot contains nbotit two

of a few scattered hairs, but one of

A Snored Chinese Coin.
One of tho coins of tho Chinese Em
peror Kanghl Is very much sought af
ter by the Chinese, who uso It In mak
ing rings for the linger. It Is slightly
different from the other cash Usued un
der the same emperor In the form of
ono of the characters that Indicate the
regnal period. The Chinese call It "Lo
han cash," the word Lo-han being n
transcript in Chinese characters of the
Sanskrltjvord Arhan, "venerable," the
nume applied to the eighteen attend
ants of Buddha, who are frequently
seen ranged along the two sides of tho
principal halls hi Buddhist temples.
The tradition Is that while the Em
peror was Intimately associated with
European missionaries be becamo Im
bued with n feeling of contempf for
Buddhism and Illustrated this phase
of his faith by having a set of eighteen
brass Lo-han Images melted down and
cast Into cash. This brass Is said to
contain a considerable portion of gold;
hence the demand for tho cash.
