One of the girls wat mith her. but I was to rcatter around t home. Two weeks was the time nhe gave herself, for she says that tt Is as long as anyJody ought to stay any where on a visit, for xome times folks wear out their welcome and don't know it. In fact one week is the saf est. She went to Rome where our old est boy and his family live and whre she lived for twenty-seven years. Som of her early friends are still there and they came to see her, of course, and talked about the dear old times until ther eyes got teary and they drew tneir chairs a little closer and were merry and sad by turns as they talked of the living and the dead. On Sunday she went to our same old church and sat In the same old pew and drank In music from the same Hd organ, but the preacher and the choir were eftanged. After service she was forced to hold a reception in the vestibule, where old friends and their children and grand children gathered around her, the friends to greet her and their children to look upon the matron of tho olden time of whom they had heard. Yes. this wonderful woman who so gently dominated her lord and master and kept him so sweetly subdued that h.-? liked the subjugation. She spent a delightful week and the program for another was already ar ranged when cn Saturday some bird of the air told her that I was sick and she could hardly wait for the evening train, I had been eick, very sick but the crisis hiad passed and for fear she might hear it and cut short her stay I wrote her that I was getting well and to finish her rest. She i3 not that kind of a woman or wife, and sure enough about 6 p. m. I happened to look out of the window and saw her coming up the lawn like she feared I w( ild die before she got here. Then I had to tell her as how I was taken down on Wednes day for my same old kidneys got bel ligerent again and wrestled with me and threw me and I had vertigo and lumbago and embargo and my eyeballs ached and how the doctor treated me heroically and scandalously and do6ed me with something every two hours afi different and nobody can tell what cured me. But all's well that enda well, and now 1 am in ior anotner lease, ui course an old wauon will break down ever and anon and has to be patched up and kept greased, cr it can't go. By and by it will all collapse and turn' to dust like the one-hoss shay.

I have already used up aU my adjec tlves on Boston and never dreamed '. would need any for the Quaker C'ty. The Record pretends to be a demo cratic paper, but lt has got a whole column about tne Ancersonville prison and Its horrors, which it saj s have cre ated a sentiment that will last as long as time, and how the poor creatures were shot down like dogs and stared. and had to dig wells twenty-five feet deep with their hands and scraps of shells In a vain effort to act water to drink, etc Well, it's awful to read, but I would like to know where those shells came from must have fed the boys oaa oysters. Yes, Blaine charged all those horrors upon us in a terrible speech, and Ben Hill replied to him In one of the greatest speeches of his life and refuted every charge anct did it from the war lecords and proved to the world that Grant and Stanton and Lincoln were responsible for every death and aU the distre33 that occurred at Anderson- vllfie. They ntterly refused to ex- chansre prisoners witn tn whii Impor tuned to do f o for the sake of human' ty, for Grant said that our men in north rn prisons would go back to fighting again. We begirt them to send us rations and medicines for their men and told them that both might be distributed by their own officers and Fnr.fOijs.

Ask the guards who still live. Ask Captain Hudson, of Marietta, one of the best of men, and he will tell you that the prisoners had everything that be did and there was no inhumanity, but pity and sorrow for Hhem and Indignation at the beart lessness of their govern menL Read Percy Gregg's chapter on this Ander sonville and ydd will wonder that such indifference to the misery of their own soldiers could be found in any govern ment upon earth. Mr. Gregg declares that If the great powers of Europe had have known it they would have ben horror struck that the authorities at Washington were really the murderers of their own soldiers and they had to appease the kindred of these soldiers by making a scape goat of poor Win and hanging him after a mock trlaL AnJ y a, tm acM fc! u Aib'-& YL&k writ a la ulttct ltr u!' aw o boll ?

LARGEST KITCHEN IN VORLD. i:nUt j flrors IV mt tVlalMr C.IU la 12. The last of the works of the murh- mallgned George IV. to be mentioned here Is the enlarged and Improved royal kitchen (at Windsor cattlej. It stands perhaps the larpcfrt single kitchen in the world on ground where royal kitchens have t-to-xl from tlm immemorial. Georpe IV. it was who in 1S2S gave it its lofty roof and top-light ventilators. Its splendid clo-k lt Into the stone walls, and Its generally me dieval aprearance. At tbe other end of the kitchen Is fixed hi immense and venerable smokestack, whore or igin is lost in the mists of antiquity. One of these annually has the honor of roasting her majesty's baron of beef. The hot-plate table in the renter of the kitchen measures no less than 11 feet by nine feet. The batterie de cuisine. in its brilliant array of glittering cop per, is large enough to cheer the hearts of a small army of gourmands; and to show its office Is no sinecure, one may mention that it has to make an annual visit to the manufacturer for restora tion and repair. Lady Uloomfield says of this kitchen in 1842: "Tbe fire was more like Nebuchadnezzar's 'burning fiery furnace than anything else I ran think of now; and though there is now no company at Windsor, there m-erc at least 15 or 20 large joints of meat roasting. Charles Murray (comptrol ler of the household) told me that last year they fed at dinner 113.000 people.' Pall Mall Magazine.

The news that Wohler had obtained In 1828 out of Inorganic stuffs a cer tain Eubstance. nrea, which occurs In nature as a distinct product of vital ac tivity In animals, upset current ideas. says Prince Kropotkin In the Nine teenth Century. Then. later on, Liebig In Germany and Franklin In this coun try made several Important synthesas, and in 1860 Berthelot pub'.hhed his epoch-making work. "Organic Chemis try. Based Upon Synthesis." In which be proved that tbe syntbeaU of organic bodies must be pursued and may oe achieved in a quite systematic way, go ing step by step over the whole series of organic compounds. At tbe pres ent time about 180 different acids, aro matic oils. fats, coloring matters and eo on, which are only found In nature as products of Tltal activity, have ai readr been prepared in our laboratories mt rt innrranle. matter. Some of them are already fabricated in this way for trade. Every year brings some new achievement in tbe same direction; so that the main Interest now lies not so much in adding a new product to the already long list of chemically pre pared organic substances as la eaten Ina the secrets of tbe tiny living laboratories in tbe vegetable and anl mal cells.
