The rn .jority of the Presidents ' of the United State*, from tYnsh jingiiinto McKinley, have been ! mjds of farmers and 1 1 inters—that lie fourteen out of twenty-four. The father of ono only, Presi ! dent McKinley, was a maunfao tnrer. Os only one, William Hen- I ry Harmon, is it recorded that he was u statesman. One was a tan ner and one a «<-xtou, (he fathers j of Grant aud JoliDson. Buchanan ; and Hays were rods of merchants I—but 1 —but nnt typical ones. Arthur 'and Cleveland were sons of cler gymen. Law cluimed the Ifathers of T)ler and John Quincy Adams. 'J’ao President i only were farmers or planters— Washington, who wris also a surveyor, and Lincoln, who soon abandoned the farm for the law office. Eighteen Presi | dents, more than two thirds of the whole number, lived and thlived on the law. Os these, | four began life aa teachers— | Adams, Garfield, Arthur and 'Cleveland. One only was a doc tor—William Henry Harrison. One begad life as a tadtaer—Grant, two as t iilors—Fillmore “and | JotmsoD, the former later joining: the ranks of lawyers. Jacksou and Taylor were soldiers, as was ! also Grant. Fifteen of the Presidents were 1 college meu, live received their education at public schools, three were self taught, and ’Grant was the only West Point|man. ' Regarding the ancestry of our Presidents, one-third, or eight, claim Scotch and Scotch-Irish descent; one, Madison, was a Welshman, or of Welsh ancestry, arid Van Bnren of Dutch; the re mainder, or foui teen, had English forbears. Elizabeth has been the favorite name for the mothers of Presi dents. Let all Elizabeths with sons make note of this. There was Elizabeth Jones, the mother of Mouroe; Elizabeth Hutchison, mother of Jackson; Elizabeth Bas sett, mother of the first Harrison; Elizabeth Speer, mothbr of Buo hanan; and Elizabeth Irwin, mother of Benjamin Harrison. The uame Mary is also well rep resented, beginning witb Mary Ball, Washington’s mother; then there is Mary Hoes, the mother of Van Buren; Mary Armstead, Tvler’s mother; and Maiy Mc- Donough, the mother of Johnson, Os Janes, there are two—Jane Haudolph, mother of Jtffersou, and Jane Knox, mother of Pclk. Os Nancys also two—Nancy Hanks, mother of Lincoln, and Nuncy Allison, mother of McKin ley. The Presidents all married Amerieuu born women except John Quincy Adams, whose wife, Louisa 0. Johnson, was bom in London, Eugiaud, where they were married. While Virginia claims most of the uieu who have beeu at the head of the nation, the ladies of the White House have preferred New Yor!- as a birthplace, six claiming it. Yirgiuia aud Ohio each gave four Presidents wives EigLt other states are represented —Now Hampshire, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Maryland, North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee aud Missouri. There has been only oue bachelor President, Buc hanan. It seems that not even in the good old times of 100 years ago, was it the fashion to have latge families. Washington and Madi son nad no children, nor had Polk. Tyler carries off the palm in the way of olive branches witb thirteen. The first Harrison comes next with ten and Haves follows wiih eight.

Grant died at 46 years, and Pierce t at 48, AVashinpton at 67, and the other at ages varying from 52, Lincoln’s age, tr 65. Natural decline was assigned as i the cause of death of three—John | Adams, who was only 61, Madi son, who was 57, and Monroe, 58. Four died of paralysis. One, Buchanan, of gont. One of can eer, Grant, and two were nssas muit-.d. Fever, asthma, dropsy and neuralgia of the beait were the other causes of death. What is usually regarded as an infantile disease—membranous croup— carried off Washington. Most of the Presidents are southern born. New England has j given four Presidents.

In Memory Os little Hattie Botnar, who was was born October 14th, 1892, and who depaited this life August 7tb, 1900. Hattie’s last sickness did not last three days, but she was al ways Very delicate. She was a yery bright child, and the pet of the home and of the relatives. But God, iu his infinite wisdom, saw fit to call her home to him self. Her mission here was ended. We can net understand the work of our kind, heavenly Fattier now, but we shall understand hereaf ter. We know that he doeth all things for the best. Hattie was kind and affection sta toward her sister and broth ers, also toward all her play mates. She was obedient to her parents, and always wanted to try to do something to li>ld her mother. To know Hattie was to love her. She will be greatly missed in the school, among her playmates, but more than nil in her home by her loving parents. Weep not, fond purouts, we know that Hattie’s place here on earth can never be filled, but she is waiting with Jesus to weioome us all hotqe. We will not see Hattie’s sweet, smiling face hero any more, nor hear her soft little voice, but let us all so live that we may meet her in the celeslinl home beyond. A precious one from earth has gone, A voice we loved is still; A place is vacant m our hearts ’lliat never cau be tilled. Her Teacher.

The Wiener TagblaU reports an interview between its representa tive and Miss Rockefeller, the | daughter of the Amerioau Pi-tro | lenm King. After putting severe questions, which the young lady readily answered, the enterpris ing interviewer ventured to say: “And now tell me, as you no .doubt belong to Uje class of the moat envied of all womeD, whether I may presume that y6u are hap« py?” Mias Rockefeller is reported ; to have replied: “Happy?” Can one buy happi ness with money?” Are there not many things to make us quite un happy, which money cannot change? Aud then, are not the j spoiled ones more sensitive to the j [ princioles of life than the others? No, I am not happy, and you may tell it to a'l and sundry who envy mo.” The interviewer was astonished \ and said something about the la I dv being a philosopher, to which ! she replied: “Not philosopher, only thinker, i tt is poyeitv which, perhaps, taught others to think. I Jiearnvd it through wealth.” Miss Rockefeller has come to t | Vienna to consult the doctors for au ear complaint.—Loudon Stan dard. Gen rous In D t ath. Humphrey Jones, twelve years old, of 147 Fulton Street, Union Bill, died at Christ Hospital at midnight on Sunday. He was the victim of ara lroad accident and showed great fortitude and pluck. He and several other boys stole a ride on a West Shore Railroad freight train on Sunday afternoon. One of the boys, it was alleged, pushed Jones from the car on which he was riding. He fell un der the wheels. His legs were crushed so badly that amputation was necessary, and he sank un der the shock. When the lads father was told that the boy would die, Mr. Jones asked him if it was true that he was pushed from the car. “Yes." said Humphrey. “Who did ii?” asked his father. “Oh, what's the use of teUiug?” said the boy. “It was all done in fun. The boy who did it feels bad enough. Why should I maze any more trouble for him?” Half an hour later the iad was dead. Havana, Oct. 17.—Before leav ing for the Uuited States yester day, and in spite of the heavy pressure of official business, Gov. God.
