Aln.ost every page of tho records of London and l'arls contains examples of the desecration of abandoned Kraveyards, and there !b hardly a city In the Old World that has not disturb ed at lesst one of these resting places of their whilom inhabitants. It our tcf5bs of rapid growth, the cemetery of to-day becomes the heart of a metropolis to-morrow; the demoli tion of graveyards in New York and Ioston has been a frequent occur rence until It fails to attract at tention. When the Colon cemetery of Ha vana became overcrowded, the Cu bans found it necessary to clear It of fckullfl, and I romlscuously shoveled them Into a common boneyard. It pre sented an aspect so ghastly that Gen. Wood concluded to cover the pit and ie-open it only for the next overflow of skeletons, expected In about five years. In certain cemeteries of Ixn don, corpses are buried In standing postures because no room Is left to lay them down. Bodies of the poor generally are packed over each other in tiers, and the trench Is kept open until filled. In the poverty corner of Calvary cemetery this has ber-n the customary treatment of the remains of paupers. Newtown, where Calvary is situated, harbors eighty corpses to every living inhabitant. The conveni ent villages of Corona, Elmhurst and Woodside. once parts o Newtown, which now are annexed to New York, and constitute the geographical canter of the enlarged city, might Increase in population if It were not for the proximity of vast and dreary cbarnel fields. A law relating to public health pro vided forty years ago that no grave be dug or opened south of Elghty aixth street, and that no cemetery be opened in any part of the city and county of New York. This law should be enforced and applied not to Great er New York alone, but to the terri tory within a radius of 100 miles around every populous town. People who insist on their Inanimate bodies remaining inviolate should have them carried to a distance where they can neither inconvenience nor injure the living, who need the room, and are natural heirs of the departed. Famous irtermural cemeteries, like Mount Auburn (Iloston), Greenwood (New York), and Laurel Hill (Philadelphia), could be transformed into admirable parks. Monuments of architectural beauty might remain undisturbed. Others might be replaced by trees v-ith suitable tablets to mark the spot of those upon whose dust they grow. The Turks, loth to disecrate the grave of a Mussulman, have adopted a similar custom, and thereby have made the cemeteries of Constan tinople attractive to strangers.

There are two of these so-called "Tombs of Abraham" in this region, the one Mr. Banks desired to exca vate and the other southwest of Babylon, where tradition says the Tower of Babel was situated. Inter est is attached to both places owing to the ruins of buildings of an ancient people and to the traditions invested in them by the Arabs and Turks, but archeologists do not believe that either is the site of the tomb of Abra ham, locating the last resting place of the patriarch of the Children of Israel in the Cave of Machpelah, near Hebron, in Palestine, where Abraham buried his wife Sarah. Two years ago Mr. Banks, who is a graduate from Harvard, made ef forts to secure permission from the Sultan of Turkey to excavate the Ur or City of Chaldees on the western bank of the Mesopotamia. It is said that John D. Rockefeller contributed 12,000 to .the fund which Mr. Banks raised to defray the ex penses of the expedition he was or ganizing. He returned to Constanti nople and as the representative of several American universities, includ ing, it Is said, Harvard, he applied to the Porte for permission to excavate. Refusal was made by the Sultan owing, it is said, to the religious asso ciations of the so-called tomb of Abraham, many of the Mohammedans believing that the mountain, which is the place mentioned as Cuthal in Second Kings in the Bible, is really the site of the burying place of Abra ham. In addition to the question of offending the religious beliefs of the natives of the country, it is said that while Mr. Banks was consul at the City of Bagdad he incurred the dis pleasure of the Porte. It was declared at the university that it is problematical whether Banks will ever secure permission to excavate in any part of the Ottoman Empire, although the Sultan has al ways been cordial toward exploring expeditions, especially those from America, and at present a party of German scientists are at work not far from where Banks desired to excavate. There are now some six Europeans in the Buddhist priesthood in Burma.

Between 1880 and 1900 the population of the south increased fiom 16,369,960 to 23,548,404 or 44 per cent, but in the same period southern agricultural, manufactured and min eral products increased in value from fl, 134,586,229 to $2,844,646,440, or 157 per cent. Farm values grew from $2,290,364,321 to $3,951,631,632. Farm ing is improving, as is shown by the fact that, while the acreage in wheat increased In the two decades but 12 per cent, the crop increased 82 per cent. The average per acre is nearly two bushels higher than the average for the whole country. The corn, hay ajid oat crops about doubled, and the cotton output increased over 99 per oent. The value of the crop of cotton in 1900, seed included, was $.50,000,000. The rice and sugar crops much more than doubled, and the product of southern tobacco is 70 per cent of that of the ntire Union. The rural population is accordingly fairly prosperous, and its gain in numbers between 1890 tnd 1900 was much larger than that of all the rest of the United States. 1880 there were 161 cotton factor- ; COWS SHOWED THE CHARM.

At a recent concert of the hospital music fund, given In Cambridge (Mass.) city hospital, one of the musi cian AA a thine which recalls tne ancient history of Orpheus and his ei: chanting lyre. At the farther end of a field oppo site the institution two cows were quietly grazing with their backs to ward the street. The first vioiinisi ocroi-tori that he could speak with those cows by means of his violin at that distance. Being doubted, he played one chord on the two lower etHns-a of his instrument. The ani mals Immediately quit feeding, raised hir heads, turned in the direction of the sound and looked interested. tu viniinist drew his how on the strings a second time and the animals came directly across the field and put their heads over the rails of the fence, with ears thrown forward, nostrils dilated and eyes Inquiring. The third time the chord was played the ani mals simultaneously answered with a sharp, short lowing and uneasy stamping of forefeet. A word in cow language was plainly said by the violin and was answered by the cows. The incident was seen by Dr. Dixwell and six or seven others interested in the hospital music char itv. Some of the. more incredulous members of the party thought that perhaps the animals which answered the sound were looking for another cow hidden from view, but there was no near hiding place, and the sunlight was clear. The receiver is sometimes as bad as the transmitter. ies; in 1900 there were 400. Between 1890 and 1900 the south gained 2,747, 839 cotton spindles, against a gain of but 2,172,410 in the north. In the same period the capital in cotton manufacturing increased from $53, 000,000 to $124,00),000. But oil mills, furnaces, rolling mills, furniture and other woodworking mills have also sprung up as if by magic. An epitome of the manufactures of the south shows 92,522 manufacturing estab lishments in 1900. with a capital of $1,111,GS8.852 against 43,725 establish ments in 1880, with a capital of $251,692,038. The value of product has grown from $445,572,461 to $1, 419,001,873. The mining output in 1900 was $115,352,703 against $17,807, 646 in 18S2. The lumber industry has also increased phenomenally. This industrial progress has re sulted largely from the expansion of the railway systems and the improve ment of harbor facilities. Southern ports have increased their exports since 1880 by 99.5 per cent, this being a sequel of the increase of southern railway mileage from 21,612 miles to 52,594 miles, a growth of 143 per cent, against the growth of but 98 per cent in the rest of the Union. TO MARK INGALLS GRAVE. Hi3 Friends Seek for a Stone Such as He Described. The grave of the late John J. Ingalls at ML Vernon cemetery will be marked by a native bowlder deposited in Kansas soil in the glacial period, according to an Atchison, Kan., dis patch in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. This will be done in obedience to a letter written in the senate chamber at Washington, Dec. 10, 1890, to Mrs. Ingalls in Atchison. The letter fol lows : "The cold wave has passed off and the morning is like April. The world is so lovely at its best; this life i so delightful that I dread the thought of leaving it. I have seen and experi enced so little of what may be seen and known that it seems like closing a volume of which I have only glanced at the title page. "What an uncivil host life Is, to Invite us to an entertainment which we are compelled to attend whether we like it or not, and then to unceremoniously take us by the arm and bow us out into the night, stormy and dismal, to go stumbling about without so much as a lantern to show us the way to an other town. ! "Our ground in the cemetery should have a 'monument.' I hate these obel isks, urns and stone cottages, and should prefer a great natural rock one of the red bowlders known as the 'lest rocks of the prairie, porphyry from the North, brought down In glacial times with a small surface smoothed down, just large enough to make a tablet In which should' be in serted the bronze letters of our name.

THE CHILDREN ENJOY Life out of doors and out of the games which they play and the enjoy ment which they receive and the efforts which they make, comes the greater part of that healthful development which is so essential to the-r happiness when grown. When a laxative is needed the remedy which is g-iven to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs on which it acts, should be such as physicians rrould sanction, because its component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is Syrup of Figs and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be used by fathers and mothers. Syrup of Frgs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and agairt which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and gentle Syrup of Figs. IU quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxatve principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous deal ers sometime, offer to increase their profits. The genuine article may be bought anywhere of all reliable druggists at fifty cents per bottle.
