Tn curious custom of "telling tho

Mits. Gkakt has Anally decided that
she will not publish her memoirs of her

eral editors and publishers were invited
to look over it with a view to "tho
highest bidder." Hut fiho changed her
mind nt tho last moment by tho advice
of friends, it Is understood and tho
story of Gen. Grant's life, ns told by his
widow, will not bo scon by tho public
for bouio years ut least
Usagks of a country having a heredi
tary nobility uro bomottmes very curi
ous. For Instance, n peeress by descent,
or creation, retains her title even when
married to u person having no rank, but
m, peeress by marriage, If she becomes a
widow, loses her rank on marrying n
commonor. In othor words, a lady of
tho commoner classes is elevated to the
peerage by marrying a peer, and If she
becomes a widow and remarries, tho
second time to a commoner, sho volun
tarily gives up hor rank und sinks to
the class whence she rose.
IK excavating somo ancient Aztco
Tulns in the direction of Chaco Canon,
New Mexico, Gov. Prlnco has un
earthed twenty stono idols of differ
ent typo from any boforo discovered
They aro circular In shape, forming
disks varying from bIx to ilttocn
inches In diameter, tho uppor half con
taining a deeply-carved faco, and tho
lower half rudimentary nrms In relief.
In tho last eight years Gov. Prince has
excavated over hOO stono Idols, but these
are different in form from any others,
and aro believed to bo at least 000 years
old.
Tiik pemmlcnn, which is ono of tho
staple articles of food furnished by the
Hudson Hay Co. to its agents, trappers
and hunters in Hritlsh America, Is only
dried and powdered meat Tho leanest
part of the beef Is taken, tho fat is care-
sully cut off nnu tho muscular portions
aro cut into thin, long strips, which aro
then hung over a slow flro to dry. This
done, the meat Is then powderad or
ground until it is about of tho consist
ency of sawdust, when It Id salted and
packed Into tins for shipment It Is nu
tritious enough, but has no more taste
than powdered bark, and altogether ta
about as dry and unappetizing an article
of food as could bo imagined
It has often been noticed at tho be
ginning of January tho death is an
nounced of a number of prominent men.
Tho reason is probably found in tho
fact not that great men aro more prono
to die in January than at any other
time of the year, but that the weather
in that month is unsettled, and conse
quently hard on tho constitution alike
of great and humble Great men aro
'only human after all, and a great man,
physically weakened by hard work or
disease, is Just as likely to dio from a
chango of weather aa though ho wore a
day laborer. Tho mortality tablos show
that tho month of January und tho first
month of exceedingly hot weather in
the summer are moro iatal than any
time of tho year, and tho great must
jtake their chances with other people.

JCcbrnnkit Mortgage.
On January 1, 1600, according to the
official returns of tho United States
census, the existing real estate mort
gaged indebtedness of Nebraska
amounted to $182,902,323. Of this
amount $'JO,GOfl,0OS, or OS per cent, was
on city real estate. At that duto thcro
were 107,175 farm mortgages in forco
nnd 48,'J02 city mortgages. Tho mort
gages in forco covered 14,035,290 acres
and 1)4,772 city lots. In Nebraska tho
per capita debt is $120. Mortgages havo
an nverngc life of llttlo over threo and
two-tenths years. Of tho entire acreage
of tho state n fraction over 3 per cent,
nro mortgnged at 44 percent of true
value. An'esttmato of tho real estate In
Nebraska places it at f640,7(W,r0 1. A

tho question why real estnto mortgage
indebtedness was incurred reveals tho
fact that by far tho largest proportion
was given us a part of tho purchase
inopoy. Tho use of the money for Im
provements and to buy and feed farm
