LAFAYETTE'S LAST VISIT.
Marie Paul Jean Koch Yves Gilbert
Motier. the Marquis de Lafayette, paid
three visits to America, the first in
1777, 140 years ago on the 24th of
last month; the second in 1784, and
the third in 1824. Thus, nearly half a
cenutry intervened between the times
of his first and last arrival. Great
changes had taken place in the inter-
val of forty-seven years. George
Washington, his almost idolized com-
mander, was no longer here to wel-
come him. Adams, Jefferson and Mad-
ison, who had been numbered among
his intimates in the old days, had
each in his turn served in the chief
magistracy of the young republic
which he had helped to found. The
war of 1812 had become merely an
unpleasant memory. The great dis-
turbing human factor of the period
had at length been quieted on the lone
island of St. Helena. France was in
a stage of transition; the revolution of
1830 was six years off James Monroe,
who was in the battle of Brandywine
With LaFayette. was nw president of
the I'nited States, i'he aera of the
nation had b«<m broadened bv the at
quisition of Louisiana and of other
territory. The number of the states
had nearly doubled since the revolu-
tion. Settlements and villages were
dotting those parts of the country
that were unpeopled when Lafayette
was a young man; hamlets had be-
come towns; towns had become cities,
cities had grown to amazing propor-
tions; Washington had been founded
and partly built, and the national cap-
ital had been moved there from Phil-
adelphia. The years had had their
tragedies: Hamilton had fallen at the
hands of Burr, and Burr's unbridled
ambition had been his own undoing;
Dorothy Payne, after becoming Mrs.
Todd, had become Dolly Madison, and
had reigned through Jefferson's and
her husband's administrations. She
was no longer First Lady of the Land,
but she still held her place as "Queen
of American Society."
A new generation had come upon
the scene. New leaders claimed popu-
lar attention and interest. Some of
them were exceptionally able men.
There were, for instance. Clay, Cal-
houn. Randolph, and Webster, lafay-
ette was t > lay the corner stone of
Bunker Hill Monument, and to hear
the great New Knglander deliver, on
that occasion, one of his finest ora-
tions.
The reception of Lafayette, on his
last visit, was as spontaneously en-
thusiastic as that which J off re and
Vivian! are receiving today. New York
was comparatively small then, but it
seemed, to witness of the scene at
the Battery, that when the guest of
the nation arrived the whole popula-
tion was there to welcome him. The
city was decorated, much as it has
been this week, with a great display
of bunting, the Stars and Stripes and
the Tricolor helms everywhere inter-1
twined. The landing initiated a series
of ovations which extended over the
length ami breadth of the country.
Lafayette, in response to popular de
inands. made a tour through the
twenty-four states in the union. |
covering altogether 5000 miles His
reception in Boston. Baltimore. Phila
delphia, and other of the largest com- j
munities. was correspondingly us en
thusiastic as that in New York. In 1
New Kngland. boys and girls strewed ,
flowers in his path He went into the1
small as well as the large towns. He
was received with special honors by j
the president, with special distinction
by congress. He was presented with
a purse containing $2000,000. and with
a township of land. He was lionized
socially. From the moment of his ar-
rival to the moment of his departure
he was the recipient of every thought-
ful and delicate attention.
Early in his visit he went to Mount
Vernon and paid tribute to Washing-
ton. He dedicated a moniunent to
Baron DeKalb at Camden. S C . and
participated actively in many other
functions. Those were still coaching
days, and Lafayette was continually
In demand at country homes. This
will partly explain the number of
chambers and beds iu which he slept
that are still to be found along the
route of his travel. Whenever pos-
sible, the chambers and the bedsteads
were preserved. Rooms in which La-

If .Mixed With Sulphur It Darkens so
.Naturally Nobody Can Tell.
Grandmother Kept ner iiair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with won-
derful effect. By asking at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound," you will get a *larg? bot-'
tie of this old-time recipe, improved
by tho addition of other ingredients,
all ready to use, for about 50 cents.
This simple mixture can be depended
upon to restore natural color and
beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
policeman was walking up and down; sa.vs everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and
the terrace. His attention was nt -
traded by a piece of paper which flut-
tered to his feet. He stopped and eyed
It Intently. I conceive that under simi-
lar circumstances a policeman of any
western nation, even if be had been
barefooted and his toes had not, from
the constant use of boots, lost their
prehensile qualities, would, had he
wished to possess himself of that' bit
of paper, have stooped to pick it. up.
But the Bengali policeman kicked ofT
the wooden shoe from Ids right foot,
seized the bit of paper between his two
ilrst toes, brought up iiis foot to tlie
level of the knee und, without stopping,
convoyed tlie paper from his toes to
his lingers behind his back.
A friend of mine who was a very
acute observer of eastern ways told
me that on one occasion, in order to
test the intelligence of an Egyptian,
he asked him to indicate his left ear.
The most uneducated member of any
European nation, supposing lie under-
stood the difference between right and
left, would certainly have seized the
lobe of his left ear with his left hand.
The Egyptian, however, passed Ids
right hand over the top of his head
and with that hand took hold of the
top or his left ear.
Sulphur Compound now because it

nobody can tell it has been applied—
it's so easy to use, too. You simply

er application or two, it is restored to
its natural color and looks glossy,

At Weihuel, Hunan province, an
amusing incident occurred during a
campaign against house flies. Follow-
ing the lecture, In which the dangers
of the tl.v had been emphasized, some
Chinese ladies were being shown the
health exhibit. One of the pictures,
showed a common housefly magnified
many times. On seeing it one of the
ladies exclaimed: "Is that the kind of
Hies they have over in America.' No
wonder Dr. Peter talks about the dan-
ger. If we had such big flies here In
China wo would have to be careful of
