As It IB well known that the first president
died childless , it may be a surprise to many
to learn of the great number of living men
throughout the country named Gcorgo Wash
ington. Had there been a George Junior the
name might have been perpetuated In direct
lines of the family until Innumerable ; but
as it is , today the great general's name has
been adopted broadcast.
A young man who recently met In the
capital a Mr. George Washington Deemed to
think that naturally he must have been In
nome way or other a relative of the great
general. "You will find that It Is a common
honor to have that name down here , " ho
said , "and a number of them you will find
are colored. You see , In slavery days , they
usually were designated by the name of the
family or plantation to which they belonged ,
and thus many colored Gcorgo Waohlngtons
are also found scattered throughout the
country. "
Becoming Interested , the young man
looked up eorno of tbo Wnshlngtons of the
great cities. The capital Bcemcd to bo the
homo of Gcorgo Washlhgtons , as there are
no less than forty-one living there today.
Curiously , not ono of these Is recorded as
being colored , although this cannot be alto
gether correct , especially as the number
includes twcnty-ono laborers. Four are
drivers , there Is a painter , a barber * a Jan
itor , flvo waiters , a coachman , a bricklayer ,
a porter , n confectioner nnd ono clerk-
not even a professional man , much less a
"president ! " 'JSi fH
Baltimore carao next in the list of cities ,
there being thirty-two named after the
father of his country ; then ho found twenty-
six in New Orleans , sixteen in St. Louis ,
fifteen in Richmond , sixteen In Philadelphia ,
fifteen In Savannah , thirteen In Charleston ,
S. C. , ten In Louisville , ten In Kansas City ,
nlno In Chicago and In Plttaburg. But
Btrango to say , Now York City records but
four. And within on hour's Investigation
fully 300 George Washlngtons were recorded
In some thirty odd cities. This number
would probably be doubled If all the cities
of the country had been included , and with
the addition of those living outside of city
limits , It Is safe to say that wo have nearly
1,000 Gcorgo Washington * in the United
States today.
The occupations of those recorded shows
that with few exceptions they are among
the working classes , There were drivers ,
Janltoro , barbers , conductors , cooks , lum
bermen , carpenters , blacksmiths , Icemen ,
shoemakers , parlors , laundrytncn. restaura
teurs , coachmen , rlvermcn , brickmakers ,
n clothes-cleaner , a leather decorator , a
millwright , ft lampmaker , a clockmoker , a
bookkeeper and one real estate dealer.

Ono of New York's colored Gcorgo Wash-
old , has lost hla 'sight , but lie contains
his customers whllo his men do the work.
When asked about his name , ho said : "I
know a good many George Washlngtons ,
nnd some of them tell queer stories about
tracing their family name , but I tell the
straight story about mine. My great-grand
father was in Washington's army. He
adopted the name , 'and there have been
throe Gecrgo Washlngtons In our family
Blnce. Yes , there are a good many moro
men of that name than nro recorded In the
cities. Why , I know of half a dozen right
around hero ; ono of them died recently. "
H occurred to the Investigator that there
were probably a like number of Abraham
Ltncolns springing up throughout the coun
try , and especially among the colored people ,
but this wasr not the case , there being none In
most of the cities , and not more than two or
three In any one.

The sales of looking glosses In the United
States amount to about $8,000,000 a year ,
nnd the Industry gives employment to more
than 2,000 persons ( very few women or
girls among them ) , about one-half of whom
are In the state of New York. Mirror mak
ing Is a simple process , relates the New
York Sun , but though simple Is not with
out its elements of danger. The present
method is as follows : A smooth stone table
is arranged ro be easily canted a little on
ono side by means of a screw set beneath.
Around the edges of the table Is a groove ,
In which mercury may flow and drop from
ono corner into bowls. The table Is first
raado perfectly horizontal and then tinfoil
is carefully laid over It , covering a greater
space than the glass to be coated. A strip
of glass Is placed along each ot three sides
of tbo foil to prevent the mercury from flow
ing off. The metal IB then poured from
ladles upon the foil till it Is nearly a quarter
of nn inch deep. The plate of glass is slid
on from the open side , and its advancing
edge Is kept In the mercury , so that no
air or floating oxide of metal or other im
purities can get between the glass nnd the
clean surface of the mercury. When exactly
in place Ills held until one edge of the table
has beer elevated ten or twelve degrees and
the superfluous mercury ihas run off. It Is
left for several hours and then placed upon
a frame , the side covered with the amalgam ,
which adheres ( Q. It. After the amalgam
becomes hard the plate Is ready for use. The
dangers arising from mirror making come
chiefly from the use of the quicksilver , and
there Is a general belief that this occupa
tion Is especially injurious to health In con
sequence of tbo danger of poisoning from
fumes , but it Is not sustained by the fig
ures collected by the Insurance companies.
Now York had at the time of the last fed-
ural census twenty-six mirror making fac
tories , Illinois , had seven , Pennsylvania
flvo nnd Massachusetts two. Louisiana hml
_ at that time the only factory of the kind In
the south , California the only ouo on the
Pacific. Quicksilver being extensively used
in mirror making , the facilities which Cal
ifornia bos for Its supply would seem to give
that state a decided advantage in this par
ticular line of trade. About one-quarter of
ttu < quicksilver produced in the world comes
from California.
It is a theory which has been generally
accepted , but the error of which Is obvious
to every intelligent and dispassionate ob
server , that men are regardless of mirrors
nnd that women are their chief users. The
fact Is that a very considerable number of
mirrors nro bought for and are uuod by
men , and to that fact is duo the extent of
the business , probably , for It would be dlfll-
cult to believe that 0,000,000 girls and
women require JS.000,000 worth of mirrors
every year , mirrors being seldom lost and
never broken intentlonaUy. The excellence
of American mirrors is generally acknowl
edged.

Passing westward on the Northern Pacific
railway ono crosses vast plains , gradually
rising to the plateau which extends along
the eastern foot of the Hooky mountains. At
first the train crosses the fertile farming
lands of Minnesota and the wonderfully level
wheat lands of the lied Hlver of the North.
Hut during the night the train passes from
the humid plains of eastern North Dakota
to the arid plateau lands of western North
Dakota , so that , by morning , the traveler
looks out upon a monotonous rolling plain ,
brown , desolate and uninteresting.
Very soon , however , the surface begins to
have variety of form ; for the "bad lands"
are reached , and this Is a region where there
Is a constantly changing panorama of sculp
tured hill slopes. The forms are weird , and
often fantastic. Ono passes them by In such

The Santiago Times , which prides Itself on
being "tho only American dally printed In
Santiago , " soys under date of August 27 :
This morning a Yankee boy turned up. The
war calling his attention to Cuba , he em
barked on the steamship Saratoga between a
bale of hay and a lifeboat as a stowaway.
Arriving on terra firma this morning , he ap
plied to us for a situation. Ho was willing
to begin at the bottom of the ladder , jelling
papers. Wo gave him a bundle of papers and
he rushed off , not even waiting to Inquire
how much pay bo was to get. A moment
later wo heard the old familiar yell In the
street of "Wuxtra the only American
paper published In Cuba ! Hero you go ,
uxtral" In the usually quiet streets of
Cuba It made a frightful din and as the
Yankee newsboy hurried down Marina
street , yelling at the top of his voice , with
the bundle under his arm and a paper In
tls hand like an Improvised Hag , the poor
startled Cubans , unused to such a specta
cle , stumbled to get out of the way , while
the merchants Hocked to their doors to see
what was the matter.
In less than two hours our boy was back
to the ofilco again , having sold in that time
moro papers than six of our native boys
would have done In the same time. We
have a lurking suspicion that the Cubans
bought the paper because they were afraid
they would get killed If they did not buy
It ; the merchants bought it because they
thought it contained something new and
our soldiers bought It because it was Amer
ican. So far as we have heard only ona
casualty occurred , caused by our Yankee
newsboy , and that was when ho shouted
"Uxtral" Into the car of a dozing police
man. Tbo policeman was BO frightened
that he fell off the sidewalk , nearly break

eral impression of a panorama of marked
Interest and variety.
Very few people take the time
to become better acquainted with
this region , though many pass through
It to spend time in seeing vastly
less interesting places beyond. A stop
of a few days at Medora , with a ride or two
out among the hills , will repay any ono In
terested In nature. N'ot only is the variety
of land form remarkable , but the geological
history of this sculpturing is also Interest
ing , it is of this that Ualph S. Tarr , pro
fessor of physical geography In Cornell ,
writes In the Independent as follows :
Toward the close of the Cretacean period ,
when the Rocky mountains , as they now
exist , were being raised in a series of vast
earth-folds , the worplngs of the surface
formed a series of depressions In the region
now occupied by the mountains and pla
teaus. Into these basins , which were in
sorno cases estuaries and bays , arms of the
sea , and In others lakes , streams , laden with
sediment , poured their floods. Here in the
quiet lake or ocean waters the rock bits
were assorted and deposited , forming layers
of clay , sand and gravel , which eventually
accumulated to considerable depths.
It Is these beds , now drained and elevated ,
that have permitted the development of the
Dad Land sculpturing ; and the fossils that
they contain tell of their origin. Some beds
are marine , some brackish nnd some fresh
water. Around the shores of these waters
there existed plant life , often In great abun
dance , frequently In the form of swamps.
Anvil-lit I'liuit I.lfc.
The evidence of the prcsenco of this an
cient plant llfo la complete. Every hero and
there ono finds impressions of loaves , or the
seeds of plants , or bits of wood embedded in
the sand and clay strata ; nnd frequently ,
too , tree trunks and tree stumps , with their
branching roots , nro found transformed to
stone. Petrified forests nro not uncommon
In the west and here , in the Bad Lands , Is
an excellent place to see them. The tree
trunks and stumps have been burled be
neath layers of sedimentary rocks ; water
percolating through these layers has dls-
solved silica , carried it on , and slowly de
posited It in the place of the decaying wood.
Molecule by molecule has the wood been re
placed , and the replacement has been so well
done that the wood texture , the knots , and
even minute variations In grain have been
preserved , though the -wood Itself has
gone.
Even more Impressive evidence of swamp
growth on the shores of these ancient water
bodies Is found In the layers of coal. Ex
posed in the ravines which traverse the
Had Lands are Innumerable
coal seams , so
that every ranchman In the region can have
his own coal mine.
Some of the coal seams
are mere laminae of carbonaceous matter
Intercalated between layers of clay ; others
are beds of pure coal , of good quality , and
several feet in thickness. They are pre
served peat beds and swamp deposits ,
formed on the shores of water bodies now
destroyed. The coal of this age Is found
all over the Kocky mountain region , and
forms a vast and almost Inexhaustible reserve -
servo supply , at present only very slightly
developed.
When deposited the layer * of rock un
doubtedly stretched from hill to hill across
the space now occupied by the ravines ; and
no doubt the layers now exposed to view
weru then deeply burled beneath other beds
now stripped off by the very processes which
are even now plainly ut work lowering the
bills and broadening and deepening the val-
leyi. The subsequent history of the Bad
Lands Is mainly one of sculpturing by the
erosive action of wind and running water.
The carving of the surface , which has
produced the marvelous variety of form
characteristic of Bad Land topography , has
been done primarily by the Little Missouri
river and its tributaries. The Little Mis
souri has cut a valley Into the partly con
solidated strata of the region , and the tribu
taries to the river have likewise sunk their
channels Into the strata.
Because of the aridity of the climate , the
hill slopes thus formed are only scantily
clothed with vegetation. Rain is not fre
quent , but when it docs come the fall Is
often very heavy. Because there Is no forester
or sod to hold it back , the water runs
quickly down the steep slopes , nnd with Its
rapid flow Is able to cut channclwnys in the
partly consolidated strata. So the hillsides
In this region are gullied and sculptured by
the action of rain-born rills.
IVIrril Form * .
This rain-sculptured surface Is ono of the
features of the Bad Land topography , nnd Is
one of the causes for the welrdncfts and
variety of form. On a very small scale ono
may often see much the same result where
the rain has carved the soft clays In a steep
railway cut. But In the Bad Lands there
are thousands of steep slopes and on everyone
ono of them the rain has been engaged In
gullying the surface. Ono may eee the work
thai is being done during any heavy rain ,
when thousands of tiny rills course rapidly
down the hillsides and bear to the Llttlo
Missouri a volume of sediment-laden water ,
representing the work of excavation which
they have been able to do on the hillside.
It Is a work still In progress.
The variety of form In the Bad Lands Is
Infinite as to detail , yet In general features
one Is able to see a certain system and
relation of cause and effect. First , and of
prime Importance , are the river trenches ,
with the steeply sloping wall of soft layers ,
themselves gullied Into great variety of form
by the rain-born rills. Thin variety of form
Is Influenced in. an important way by the
stratification of the layers , which Introduce
a second Important determining cause for
the form.
The strata are horizontal , nnd when in the
region one very soon notices that some of
the horizontal layers are very soft and quite
unconsolldated , whllo others are hard and
consolidated. Naturally , therefore , the dif
ference ! in hardness of the horizontal beds
introduces a horizontal element of control
of land form. For Instance , where the lay
ers nro hard there are steeD slopes In the
hillsides , and thcso precipitous sections maybe
bo traced horizontally around the hills and
from hill to hill.
Aotloii of the
A second influence of the horizontal varia
tion In hardness Is very frequently seen
when a harder layer caps and protects a
hill. This protection furnished by the
harder layers in horizontally bedded strata
Is ono of the most Important factors In
determining western plateau scenery.
Streams cut valleys in the plateau , slicing
through hard and soft layers and leaving
hills between , composed of thcso horizontal
beds of different texture. Thcso Inter-
stream areas wear away slowly , and when
one of the hard layers Is reached it wears
Btill moro slowly. 'Since ' it extends
horizontally , the effect of the retardation Is
to cause steep-skied hills with flat tops ,
called by the 'Spaniards ' mesas ( or tables ) it
largo and buttes if small.
Many of these llat-toti > ea mesas and
buttes near together reach the same level
because determined by the same horizontal
bed. Gradually even the hard can-rock
gives way under the attack of wind and
rain , and the Hat-topped butte changes in a
cone , and finally either melts away , or , if
there is another hard layer lower down In
the hill , when this Is reached it also resists
the action of the weather , and the hill
again becomes a butte with the flat top at
the level of the lower and newly exposed
hard stratum.
in the Bad Lands of North Dakota ono
sees every stage In the llfo history of buttes.
There are plateaus , only hero and there
crossed by streams , and there are plateaus
whoso edges furnish numerous Instances of
hills nearly severed from the plateau by the
cutting action of streams. There are also
typical Hat-topped buttes perfectly separated
from the worn plateau ; and nearby there
are conical buttes In which the hard layer Is
nearly gone , perhaps with loose fragments of
the hard rock resting on the hillside , as the
only remnant of the cap-rock. Lower down
In the hill may , perhaps , be seen other hard
layers which In time will cap the same hill at
a lower level. Indeed , near by , this same
lower layer may be seen furnishing a flat cap
for buttes which have already melted down
to this level.
Ono who takes a drive- into thcso Bad
Lands will have his attention called to the
"scoria" rocks which abound there. These
scoria layers are very striking , because on
account of their hardness they are often
found capping and causing buttes. The
scoria layers are highly colored , often some
shade of red ; and they odd markedly to tno
beautiful variety in color effect that one
notices in the Bod" Lands. Besides being
highly colored and very hard , the rock is
often clinkery , full of holes , and quite llko
many lavas in appearance , though sometimes
the appearance Is rather that of slag. The
traveler may have some remarkable theory
for the origin of the scoria thrust upon him ,
and It will require more than a passing
glance to prove to one's gratification that it
is not really a lava or an artificial slag.
In the true sense of the word the rock is
neither lava nor slag. Ono can prove for
himself what it is by visiting one of the
burning coal mines where scoria are even
now being formed. In these place ono may
see a flrc , S2t , perhaps , by Indians , or by a
pralrlo fire started by lightning , or possibly ,
set aflro by spontaneous combustion. For
years , since long before white men visited
this region , these fires have been burning
summer raid winter , until now most of the
lignite has been burned out of the dry hills
which have been stripped and exposed to the
air by the action of the rains.
Iiiternul Flrt'M ,
In such a place ono sees a hill , cracked
and fissured , with Jets ot sulphurous umoko
issuing from the crevices , telling of the
fierce IIro that Is raging within. It Is not
perfectly safe to walk about on this cracked
surface , but by exercising care ono may approach
preach near enough to some of the cracks to
look into the fiery furnace and see the white-
hot glow of the coal and the Inclosing rocks ,
heated to a white heat llko that of a blast
furnace.
Here the rocks are being baked , Indurated ,
and in places actually melted and caused to
flow llko lava. Here are being produced a
natural slag and clinkers In ono of nature's
great furnaces ; and the local name of scoria
Is therefore an excellent one. Fire , as well
as water , has been Important In determining
tbo form of the Bail Land hills , and there
are few other places In the world where one
Is able to see an Illustration of this exact
combination of causes for topography.
Tbo Bad Lands of North Dakota are not
altogether barren sculptured hill slopes.
There are broad , grassy valleys and level
upland plateaus. Moreover , the region is
well watered by the Llttlo Missouri. It Is
natural , therefore , that ranchmen have
chosen this interesting region for a bomb
where , in the midst of the plains , their stock
is protected from the fierce winds of the
plains and where , amidst the protection of
the hills , they are able to tlnd both watci
and food.
The Roosevelt ranch is not for from Me-
dora , and tha Eaton ranch Is still nearer. It
ono has the good fortune to visit the Bad
Lands as tbo guebt of the Eaton brothers
ho not only sees the wonders and beauties of
the Bad Lands , but he receives an Impression
of ranch llfo and a ranshman's hospitality
which will never leave him , Ono then feels
that the term Bad Lands Is n misnomer for
all excepting the sculptured hill slopes.

A now winter's season of reading and
study is beginning to bring down dusty
volumes from circulation shelves and refer
ence cases at the Omaha Public library.
Club women , technical people mid school
children are getting back to the routine
of a workday world nnd are taking up their
winter's work In the systematic way that
means work for the library attendants.
The most noticeable Influx is that of school
children and especially High school stu
dents whoso work Is coming moro nnd moro
to bo batted on library references. High
school teachers are allowed flvo "special
privilege" cards , upon which books are Is
sued for use in their particular subject.
Pupils in their charge also are privileged
to leave their cards nt the library together
with any special topic which it Is desired
shall bo looked up and nil the material In
the library available In that line is put at
their service.
H la expected that substations will be
established at various points by November
1 , which will be of great assistance to school
children and others In getting volumes
bank and forth. Probably four stations of
this description will bo located In suburban
districts , and patrons will be able to have
orders filled and books returned through
their agency. No books will bo kept on hand
nt the stations , ns that would Involve their
withdrawal from the general circulation
shelves , but changes will be made as often
as twice a week and a supply of finding
lists will be kept on hand. The plan has
been tried very successfully In a number of
large cities.
Another class of students whoso work Is
based largely on library material are mem
bers of the Technical club , which has begun
Us meetings In the lecture room on the ( bird
floor. It Is composed of about thirty mem
bers made up of well known architects , engi
neers and manufacturers , who meet to exchange -
change ideas on topics of mutual interest.
Several classes of the Woman's club , notably
the Art department and the Current Topics
department , are also laying out their year's
work In the reference room. A class in
Egyptology , under Mrs. W. II. Ilanchctt , has
an anteroom set asldo for its use during Urn
winter and the walls arc hung with a num
ber of chotco engravings illustrating the
subject. There are also a number of private
reading and current topics clubs and debat
ing societies which have made known their
desire to user the facilities of the library.
The library officials are busy getting the
building Into shape for the reception of the
Transmlsslbslppi Library congress , which
will bo hold from September 29 to October 1 ,
Inclusive. The congress Is planned to crea'e
a moro general Interest in library work
among the people of the transmlsslsslppl
state and It alms to present discussions by
prominent library people from all parts of
the country upon topics of general Interest
touching the work of public libraries. Neat
programs have been issued outlining the
three days' program , which is quite fully oc
cupied by papers and addresses. The social
feature of the session will bo the reception
on Thursday night at the Library building.
The refreshment heaths will be In charge of
well known young women and the public is
expected to have a good time. The program
will be varied by several welcoming ad
dresses.
As the attendance at the exposition grows
larger , there Is a corresponding Increase In
the visiting list at the library. Many of the
strangers are ait the head of libraries In their
own localities and the attendants take con
siderable prldo In showing them about our
own handsoma Institution.

CECIL , ALA. , Dec. 28.
I had fainting spells , heart failure ,
weak eyes , scanty menses , nnd womb dis
ease. I am 18 years old , but I found my
self unable to study in that condition. I
took Wine of Cardui and Black-Draught ,
and they brought me around all right.
With the relief , good spirits and happiness
returned.

A girl or woman , suffering with the diseases which afflict
her sex is pretty sure to have the blues. She will be dull , list
less and easily irritated a burden to herself and those around
her. Sometimes she will sit or lie for hours , staring into va
cancy , utterly urtabfe to see anything but despair ahead. This
sad condition is easily corrected , although many women refuse
to think so. They wrongly suppose their troubles are incurable
because their sufferings are so great. To these women Wine of
Cardui will prove a real bless
ing. It will restore the distinctly LADIES' ADVISORY DEPARTMENT.
