hands , just below the magnificent represen

still closer sympathy and touch do the thrco
memorial windows on thojvall of St. Jlnr-
Karf''s to the left of the chancel bring the
thoughtful people of the two races. Ameri
cans nnd Kngllslunpii combined to cruet this
memorial to an American who was known

Tin : AN'DHK TOMH.
There Is n faded bunch'of American golil-
cnrod Ijlni ; In the dust upon ono tomb In
Westminster , a tomb that has a peculiar and
sad Interest to Americans , because the lire
of the ono who Is burled thorp was so
closely Interwoven In the warp and woof o ;
thp great fabric which the resistless * shuttles
of war wove In the days of the revolution.
The gohonVcd has a o.nl attached to it am :

* Golden Hod for n Soldiers Grave ,

At the 1-attcm of the ' " rd are the words ,
In n delicate bind :
"Frcm an Englishwoman In Delaware ,
U. S. A. "
A bas relief upon the monument tells thu
Blory of Gunoral Washington receiving the
pet Mon of the Ill-fated young olllcer after
Ills capture , telling how he wantcJ. death
to come. There Is the customary tablet , and
OT it jou may read the English estimate o. '
one cf the best known -cha actors of the
war of the revolution. It tclis of his 'being
ralKCd by his own meilt at an early period
of his life to the rank of adjutant general
of the Hrltish forces In America , of his
implojment "In an important and h.yardous
cntCivrlse in which he fell , a bacrlflce lei Ills
zeal for his king and his country. " of how
uphersally he was beloved and esteemed by
the ainiy : In which he served , and lamented
even by his foes , and how his grac.our
sovereign , King George III , caused the
monument to be erected. An'rp was ex
ecuted on the second day of October , 1780 ,
end his remains were taken fiom their rest
ing place at Tappan by James Buchanan
English consul at Now York , and removed
to England. Andie lies a few feet frmn. the
monument In Westminster. Mis body was
taken up on the 10th of August , 1821 , and
under the slow sea time sailing of those
days , did not reach its ! st resting place in
England until the 28th of November.

over a pavement deep-woin iby the feet of
world-faring pilgrims , you come to the
entrance of the Chapter house , the work o :
King Henry JII , the llrst home of the pnrli.i.
nient of Kngland. In a rather dark place ,
Ju.it before you enter the Chapter IIOUBO
proper , your eye will catch fight of a half-
bushel or moro of small cards , visiting cards.
They are resting on a tray. The helmeted
guardian of the Chapter house , a genial an 1
up-to-dato pcllccman , ua > .s as you look at
the heap of dutt-covered cardi" , with here
and thuro ono untouched by dust , which has
evidently Just been placed on the tray
"Somo of them , sir , put a card there , and
Boimi of them don't. It's Just owing to
the way they look all It. Hut you will see
a goad many of them have wanted to do It.
and they say down In that pile there arc
homo of the test known namra In America. "
The trayload of cards was lying at the
baeo of the memorial to James ) Iluesell
Lowell , curds placed there by American tour
ists In llui years since the * memorial was
put 111 place , to show their appreciation of
one- who utood among the foremost ingllsh- :
spcaklng poets of his day. The Inscription
on the tablet .below the bas- relief medallion
of thu poet notco that the tablet and the
windows above were placed there "In
memory of James Hussell Lowell. United
States minister to the court of St. James
from ISbO to 1SSG , by his Kngllsh frlemlu. "
It was first Intended that the memorial
bhonUl occupy a 'place ' In the poet's corner ,
inun the butt of Longfellow , 'but ' It was not
possible to place any stained laps at that
point EO the hill or cblbtcr leading up to
the Chapter houno , end. In fart , a part of
the Chapter house Itself , was selected.

I have suffered from change of life for several
years. The medicine my family physician gave
me did not help me , and I grew worse instead
of better. I one day read in the paper of Wine
of Cardui , and tried that. The first bottle gave

weaknesses of the past reappear , Wine of Cardui is what is needed. It gives
strength to the afflicted organs , and quiets the overtaxed nervous system. To
