All natural wnters contain n greater
or less amount of mineral matter In so
lution. Unln water hus the smallest
percentage of solid Impurities of nuy,
and therefore It Is taken as the stand
nrd variety of soft wator.
Tho terms soft nnd hard, however,
ns npplled to water are scientifically
considered purely relative.
Water Is usually reckoned to be
"soft" when It contains less than one
five-thousandth part of Its weight of
mineral Ingredients and "hard" when It
contains more than one four-thou-tfuudtli.
Soft water has the property of easily
forming a lather with 'soup and Is
therefore suitable for washing pur
poses, while hard water will only form
n lather, and thnt Imperfectly, with
considerable dlfllculty.
A mineral water has more than ono
two-thousandth of Its weight of nat
ural dissolved solids, nnd a medicinal

containing a varying pcrceutago of dis
solved natural solid or gaseous drugs.

One of the stories which Levi Hutch

the youth of Daniel Webster.
"One day." said the old man, "while
I was taking breakfast nt the tavern
kept by Daniel's father, Danlel'nud his
luotlier Kzeklel, who were little boys
with dirty faces nnd snarly hair, en mo
to the table and naked mo for bread
and butter.
"I compiled with their request, little
thinking thnt they would become very
distinguished men. Daniel dropped
IiIh piece of bread on the sandy floor,
nnd the buttered side of courso was
down. lie looked at It n moment, then
picked It up nnd showed It to tue, say
lug: " 'What a pltyl Please give mo a
piece of bread buttered on both sides;
then If I let It fall one of the buttered
sides will be up.' "

A Celebrated Itomuii I2ater.
Touching the matter of eating, tho
Btoilos told by thu old chroniclers and
hlstnrlami of the abnormal appetites of
certain Ilomnn and oriental mou of
note fairly staggor belief. Gibbon tells
of Solimnn, a caliph In the eighth cen
tury, who died of Indigestion In Ills
camp nonr Chalets. In Syria, Just as ho
was about to load nn army of Arabs
ngulust Constantinople. IIo had emp
tied two banket of oggs and figs,
which he swallowed alternately, aud
the repast was tliilnliwl with marrow'
and sugar, fu a pilgrimage to Mecca
the same caliph had oaten with linpu
uity nt a single meal 70 pomegranates,
a kid, 0 fowls and a huge quantity of
the grupea of Tayef.
Such a statement would dofy belief
were not others of a similar character
well avouched. Louis XIV could hard
ly boast of an appetite as ravenous ns
Sollman's. hut he would eat at a sitting
four plateful of different soups, a
whole putawuit, a partridge, a plateful
of salad, mutton hashed with garlic,

narlnl Site lu Suburb of Washing
ton Tlmt AVcrr Set Apart l'or the
Free Interment of Conirreanuirtt
Urliiir Awny I'rom Home.
On the eastern outskirts of Washing
ton, where tho city, stragglng over tho
:oinmons nnd vacant squares, halts at
the edge of the marshes of the Ana
costla river, stands tho old Congres
sional cemetery, with Its clghtscoro
conotnphs, memorials of departed
statesmen. Years ago tho tide of pop
ulation surged westward and north
ward, overrunning tho salubrious high
lands of those sections and establish
ing Its burial grounds In the new re
gions. Hut thts little city of tho dead
was left alono lu the deserted quarter,
with tho jail, tho almhouso and tho
workhotiso for neighbors.
In It nro 100 conotnphs to dead con
gressmen, stretching In monotonous
rows through the cemetery, all of them,
with two exceptJfiiH, of u uniform
shnpo and size, nnd erected nt govern
ment expense to tho memory of tho
government's detul representatives.
Some of tho stones mnrlc tho actual
burying plnco of tho defunct states
men, but others, llko those commem
orative of Henry Clny, John Qulucy
Adnms, Thnddcus Stevens and others,
merely stand lu honor of thoso dis
tinguished nnmes. Slnco 1S70 tho prac
tico of erecting cenotaphs, begun lu
1700, Una been abandoned'.
When the cemetery was established
In 1803, Its projectors thought It would
be u successful Idea to secure tho Inter
ment In tho new cemetery of congress
men who passed tiwny while serving
their country lu tho then iiinlnrlal cll
nmto of Washington and thnt It would
glvo this mortuary silo distinction
above ordinary burying grounds.
So '100 burial sites were set apart for
tho freo Interment of congressmen dy
ing nway from home, and tho plnco
was named the Congressional cemetery.
In thoso days It was Impossible to
transport n body long dlstnnces with
out grcnt expense and trouble, nnd tho
purchasing of burial lots was expen
sive, so the prlvilcgo thus extended
was readily accepted. Tho funerals
were conducted with Imposing ccrctne:
iiles, nnd the departed unions were laid
away with pomp and circumstance In
the Hpuces specially allotted nnd set
apart for them.
As methods of transportation Improv
ed, however, with tho years, and the
families of tho deceased round oppor
tunity to tnko tho bodies homo for In
terment, tho practice fell Into disuse,
mid ultimately n law was enacted pro
viding that a cenotaph should bo erect
ed In the cemetery to every congreKs
iiiiiii wlio died lu tho hnrnoHS, mid for
u number of years this custom was fol
lowed, so that many of tho monuments
merely stand In memory of tho con
gressmen without actually marking tho
burial situs.
In 187(1 a law was enacted providing
that no cenotaph should be erected un
less Interment wns mado lu tho ceme
tery, nnd there linn not been a burial
of a congressman In tho plot slnco that
year.
Tho cenotaphs nro plain blocks of
mnsonry, covered with cement to with
stand tho ruviigs of tho elements.
Each Is Inscribed with tho iiiuuo of tho
dead man, the statu ho represented In
thu house or senate and tho date of hlu
death. Some of thu Inscriptions are
now Illegible, but the oldest one de
cipherable Is on a cenotaph In memory
of Audrow P. ISutlor, a senator from
tho statu of South Carolina, who died
In 1700. As stated, all tho cenotaphs
are of uniform size and shape, except
lu two Instances. Ono Is u marble mon
ument to Elbrldgo Gerry of Massachu
setts, at ono tlnm vlco president of tho
United Stutos and famous lu Revolu
tionary history. It Is u pyramid shaped
pllo of uuirblo about twice the height
of the other cenotaphs, surmounted by
an urn containing u representation of
an undying llnme. 'Tho other Is a mon
ument to George Clinton of New York,
also vlco president of tho United States
and active In tho war of 1812.
Among the cenotaphs Is one to Push-mn-ta-hu,
a Choctaw chlof, who, the
Inscription states, died of croup In tho
sixtieth yenr of his ago while visiting
Washington lu 1821. Heuoiith this In
scription Is tho statement that the red
chieftain in hlu last broath desired the
big guns to bo fired over him, IIo hud
tho sultite ho doglrod.
It might bo economy If the govern
ment wore content uownduyK merely
to honor tho departed cougroMHiucu
with a cenotaph, for tho C0 memorials
probably did not cost iih much as half u
dozen modern fuuuruls of defunct
statesmen. Congressional funerals now
are elaborate affairs. There must ho

succeed, but sho would havo done so
had not tho agent gonu back on his

to n western city. The lady called on
tho agent to see how tho goods wero to

them according to regular rates or else
charter a car. IIo explained that the
latter would be cheaper If sho had
enough goods, and thu lady decided to
take a car. Now, thero are two well
grown hoys, nnd us money Is not over
plentiful lu the family sho wished to
abridge expenses as much ns possible.
Shu went to see the agent again and
asked If she could send her two boys
In tho car. Ho told her that sho could
not, aud, ns might be expected, sho
asked why. Ho couldn't innko her
understand Just why, and wheu sho
asked him Jf tho company never let
anybody go along with tho goodB ho
said that they did with stock. "If you
wero Bhlpplng llvo stock that needed

hnven't a cow or horse or pig, and thcro
would ho no uso sending nuy ono

tills time and went away. A day or
two later she came around ngalu aud
asked for puhhcs for tho two boys.
"Why, madam," said tho agent, "I
can't Issue any passes. You haven't
uny live stock.''
"Yes, I have," snld the little womau.
"I'vo bought n pig."
Then the agent wns lu trouble again.
He sold he couldn't give passes where
tho fare nniouutcd to about $8 npleco
for two boys for a lonely little pig. Sho
reminded him of what ho had said and
told him that she had paid ?2.25 for the
,plg for thnt purpose, and ho ought to
be ns good as his word. Llko nil rail

trouble snioirthly, but only succeeded
nfter ho hml purchased tho pig for
