A Forgotten Message and a Fighting Brigadier. “WATSON, you are ordered to \report for duty ® mounted, right off,” said Orderly JEd. Negus to me “one morning di- rectly after break- fast. So in a very brief space I rode up to Head- quarters and re- Nl V sported to Gen. Crawford.He gave me a verbal message to Brig-Gen. Cooper, at York. I think we were then at Little Washington. Anyway, I was told it was 28 miles, and told which road to'take. I was several hours on the road and to this day I can’t see how it was that I escaped being gobbied by Moseby’s men, as it was right in the heart of their territory and I had most of the road to myself, I had received letters from home a short time previous and all the way over I was thinking ofthe dear ones there, and, in fact about everything except the message I was bearing. * I reached the camp of General Coop- er's Brigade and road up to his tent and dismounted, leaving my horse with the sentry. I entered the Gener— al’s tent, made my salute, and found him busy writing. He raised his head and stopped to received my message, when what was my consternation to find that I had forgotten the message. Vision of being hauled over the coals by the terrible Gen.Crawford filled my brain. What wouldn’t he do to me? All this while the General sat there looking at me. “Well,” said he “what is it?” Said I, “I had a message for you from Gen. Crawford, over at Washing- ton, but I can’t for the life of me re- member what it was.” “You had better go back and get him to write it down.” “Yes,” said I; “that’s all there is to do? I saluted and started for my horse. With my foot in the stirrup just ready tomount,justas I wasabout tospring the message flashed back in my brain and back I dashed into the tent and rattled it off, to the General's surprise and amusement. “You had better get it on paper next time, my son; you just saved yoursell from a pretty awkward scrape.” “1 believe you,” I replied, ‘for Gen: Crawford is the crossest Brigadier we have and I don’t know what he would have done.” I was directed to wait around Head- quarters until he could write a reply, which on account of some reports would take some time. While I was lounging about I saw a Corporal’s guard bring- ing an intoxicated man toward the General's tent. de was a fine leoking specimen of humanity, a blacksmith by trade,belonging to the same village and regiment that Gen. Cooper had and he had insisted upon being brought before the General when arrested for disorderly conduct. As soon as he caught sight of the General he cried: “Now Jim you don’t mean for me to go down to the guard house do you?” «I certainly do if you don’t behave yourself,” replied Gen. Cooper. With that the drunken man struck at the General with his fist to the hor— ror of the Corporal and his guard, who threw themselves upon him while the General shouted: “Get out of the way Corporal; I can whip him myself if Iam a Brigadier General.” But there was no trouble after all and in a little while I departed on the back track with a message writ- ten this time.—E.

FOR THE BIG SKIRT HOOK. If more women understood the value of the big dresshook their skirts would bang better than they do. Nine out of every dozen dresses in the crowd are shorter in front than they should be. This ugly abruptness, says the New York World, can be remedied by sewing a dresshook on the belt line, on the outside and in front of the waist. If the skirt is heavy, two may be needed to keep it from creeping up. If there is no belt to the costume the handkerchief, a brooch or a rosette of ribbon will conceal it, and at the same time afford one of those feminine touches that men adore so much. The best corsets always have hooks in front and on the sides of the waist that hold the skirt bands in check, but, as many of the dresses are made with round waists and shirt waists, a hook on the bodice is indispensable for fat women. Brass hooks may be had at the rate of a dime a dozen, those made of French gilt sell at twenty-five cents each, and silver ones are about the same price. Jewelers and a few of the dry goods merchants have in the corset gold skirthooks, but they are’$5 each. The brass hooks answer every purpose, however, and they should be used by every woman who prides herself on wearing nice looking dresses. QUEEN VICTORIA'S MARRIAGE PROVERB. Victoria, like her grandson William, is certainly the greatest matchmaker of the day. Not long ago she wished to make up a marriage between a lady and gentleman of her court. The former did not seem to see it and proved a rebel to the royal advice, quoting St. Paul’s famous words: ‘He who marries doeth well, but he who does not marry doeth still better.” ‘My child,” said the queen, ‘‘be con- tent in doing well ; let those who can do better.” Her majesty performed one of her most graceful acts in inviting the bride’s mother to ride in the same coach with her at the recent wedding of her grandson Prince George, to Princess May. This is such an im- mense honor that nobody besides the prince consort, royal princesses, the mistress of the robes and the master of the horse have been able to boast of it. It was certainly the first time the Duchess of Teck had ever taken a state carriage drive with her august cousin and the invitation must have come as the climax of everything to her royal highness, who has been among the last placed of the numerous great ones for many a year. Princess Beatrice for once gave up her usual seatin mamma’s coach and went on ahead with the merely illustrious party, who were scarcely distinguishable one from the other in such a number of closed car- riages. EMINENT WOMEN LAWYERS. In the Law Congress lately in ses- sion in Chicago an important part was assigned to two women, namely, Dr. Emily Kempin, of Zurich University, Switzerland, and Miss Mary A. Greene. pf Providence, R. I., and Boston, rep- resentative of the women lawyers of this country. The study of the law was originally taken up by Miss Greene as a course enabling her to manage her own affairs with intelligence. She entered the Law School of Boston University, and there completed the full course of three years. The value of the diploma received by the candi- date was enhanced by the addition of the “magna cum laude.” A few months later Miss Greene opened an office in Boston, where she proved her ability as a lawyer of high rank. She distinguished herself by an exceeding- ly able argument before the Judiciary Committee of the Legislature of the State in support of a petition for the validity of contracts between husband and wife, and which was subsequently published by the American Law Re- view. Through delicacy of constitution Miss Greene has been prevented from engaging extensively in court work, her general line of effort being of a literary character. Her acquisitions include a thorough knowledge of the French language, a translation in serial form, entitled ‘La Femme Ad- vocat,”’ being one of the excellent il- lustrations of her work in this direc- tion. The foreign delegate to the Law Congress, Dr. Emil Kempin, received her degree from the law department of the University of Zurich, became an instructor in New York City, and was immediately afterward appointed to teach law in the University of the City of New York to a class of young women. She continued in the Ilast- named service for a year, with her family in Switzerland, and was after- ward appointed to a position in the Zurich University. WOMAN AS WALKERS, Many a woman enjoys various sorts of athletic exercises, yet very few are good walkers. Whether thisarises from the fact that women from time im- nremorial have been inclined to pinch their feet with shoes at least half a gize too small, or because there does not seem to be any perceptible benefit to be derieved from long strolls, we cannot say, but the truth remains the same nevertheless, and when the an- nouncement was made in the papers that a woman had walked from Galves- ton, Texas, to Chicago in seventy-six days all the rest of womanhood looked aghast and murmured, ‘How in the wide world could she have done it?” Of course that long tramp was not the initial performance of its kind. Practice, as in everything else, is re- quired to make the walker. Really there is a wonderful amount of pleas- ure 10 be obtained in a brisk walk be- fore breakfast, if only one can bring her mind to bear on the problem of getting out of a cozy bed when eyes are heavy with sleep. The inex- pensive feature of this form of amuse. ment should commend it to those who have not the means to indulge in horseback or bicycle-riding. Begin- ning with short strolls they can be in- creased daily until five miles will be no more fatiguing than a few squares were formerly. When at last this point is reached, what glories of nature are within your reach! Wcads and rivers can be made to give up their treasures of delight to you as you traverse their piney depths or siroll along their grassy banks. Though fate has ordained that your abode shall be in the very heart of a dusty city, you can with your strong boots set fate at defiance, and in a short time leave behind you the grimy atmesphere of the town. And when by shore or in the hear} of the mountains inclination tempts you to start out on & tour of investigation how many de- lightful nooks can you reack by foot that no conveyance ever touches, while as a means of health walking ranks first among the prescriptions of doctors, whe know that the constant variation of scene and the exhiliration of motion that comes with it are cer- tain cures for many of the ills that womankind are heir to.—Philadelphia Times. ’ FASHION NOTES. Colored linen dresses are quite pop: ular. Ribbons were never so much worn as at present. . The latest craze in jeweled orna- ments for bonnets and the hair is a diamond bat. : : Medium tan remains the favorite color for gloves. While other shades are old this is the standard. The new chiffons are exquisitely beautiful, and come in delicate tints, having raised figures in silk. Deep square collars, sometimes fall; ing in folds at the edge, will be one of the features of autumn jackets. Turkish toweling in pure white is considered the most correct thing for the covering of chairs and couches in the sitting-room. Smell girls’ dresses have enormously wide collars or shoulder ruffles that ex- tend out over the full sleeves in sucha manner as to suggest wings. Round yokes of gelloon, with wide, round corselet belts, also of galloon, are worn with dresses of cashmere and with other thin woolen materials. The waist trimming of a recently imported dress exactly resembles the wings of butterflies, as though one of these creatures was perched on each shoulder. A ribbon rosette, with long floating ends, extending half way down the skirt and placed at one side of a square-cut bodice, is a fashionable dress ornament. The notched lapel-collar, which so often appears on tailor-made gowns, loses much of its severity when applied upon the short, full waist of a lately- designed street costume. ‘White kids and suede sailor hats are new this season, but straw takes the lead, with quills for trimming, while a more fancy sailor has roses around the crown and under the brim. A hat, with medium-width brim, made with handsome lace-straw braid, faced with black velvet and with a trimming of loops and bows of lace and a quantity of fine aigrettes, has been very much admired. An easy way of making a lace trim. ming distinct from the dress, to slip on as required, is a simple yoke oi piece lace with six-inch edging fulled around it, and a lace collar to finish the neck, or a Spanish jacket of lace with a deep turn-down frill all around the top. The parasol which is best suited tc gingham and white outing suits is of Indian pongee in the original cream color. The handles are of carved burnt ivory. The rains may descend and the floods come, but they are as little affected by them as are cotton umbrellas. Rainbow embroidery is a novelty seen on tea-cloths and other pieces of white linen for table use. A mat to be placed under an olive dish of cut glass has a border of olives and their leaves are worked solidly. Such » border is not in as good taste, how ever, as one in flowers of soft, gay col: oring. The rage for jet seems never to have run to greater extremes than at pres- ent. Fine jet trimmings are used on handsome suits of silk, satin and vel vet. The more elaborate the better in some cases. A front and side panel are nearly covered and the jackel fronts, collar and vest are as elaborate as skill and fine material can make them. The lace dress is coming in again, it may be said, with flying colors, al though most of the lace is black. One of the most elegant lace dresses of the season has the skirt made of a lace circular. This circular is lined with silk, the hem has three or four satin ruffles over which the lace falls; rows of satin piping trim the skirt round and round. White silk and fine muslin and linen cambric kerchiefs, finished with drawn work and lace, are brought out for the babies, but are just as pretty for women’s wear. They are half hand- kerchief, the long side slashed in the center a finger or somewhat less down toward the point. The kerchief is then doubled so that the two points made by tho slashing fall apart above the larger point, hanging between them. They make the daintiest of col- lars. HOUSEHOLD MATTERS. FOT AT.UM KILLS INSECTS. Insects may be destroyed with hot plum. Put in hot water and let it boil until the alum is dissolved. Apply hot, with a brush, and all creep- ing things are instantly destroyed without danger to hnman life or in- jury to preperty. TO REMOVE MILDEY. A spoonful of chloride of lime in a quart of water will probably remove mildew from your table linen. Strain the solution after it has stood long enough to thoroughly dissolve and dip the cloth into it. Repeat if a first application is not sufficient, but wash the mixture well out of the goods when your object is accomplished. USES OF OLD NEWSPAPERS INTHE KITCHEN If all clean papers and pasteboard boxes were cr.t in convenient shape, with a hole near one end, through which to hang them on a large hook near the kitchen table, and used to stand hot kettles, frying pans and other utensils on, the table would be kept white and clean without any tedious scourings. If a newspaper is spread on the back of the kitchen range and stove shelf, before the dishes are placed thereon to warm they will not soil the table linen. If kerosene lamps must be cleaned on a kitchen table, spread a newspaper down before commencing the opera- tion. Avoid soiling the kitchen floor when you remove the ash pan from the range by laying a newspaper on the floor under the stove door.—American Agriculturist. PRESERVING GRAPES. Here are a few good ways in which grapes may be enjoyed througheut the winter : Preserved Grapes—Squeeze the pulps of the grapes out of the skins. Cook the pulp a few minutes, until it can be pressed through a sieve. Re: ject the seeds. Add a little water to the skins and cook until quite tender. Then put the skins and pulp together. Measure, and to each pint add a pound of sugar and boil fifteen minutes. Spiced Green Grapes—ZFive pounds of green grapes (wild are best), three pounds of sugar, one pound of raisins, one-half pint of vinegar, one table- spoonful of ground cloves, one table- spoonful of ground allspice, one table- spoonful of ground cinnamon. Stone the grapes and raisins and simmer one hour. Pickled Grapes—Fill a jar with alternate layers of sugar and bunches of nice grapes, just ripe and freshly gathered. Fill one-third full of good cold vinegar and cover tightly. : RECIPES. Ham TFoast—Slices of toasted bread, with the crusts cut off, two eggs, twc tablespoonfuls of butter, some cold ham or tongue grated. Put the yolks and whites, well beaten, into a stew: pan, with the butter; stir them twe minutes, over the fire, spread them over the toast and lay over them a suf: ficient quantity of cold ham or tongue. Corn Oysters —This is a very favor- ite dish with persons who like oysters, which it resembles in flavor. Rasp from the cobs with a coarse grater on a quart of corn, and mix thoroughly with it two tea cups of new milk, and one of flour. Season the batter with salt and either drop a tablespoonful at a time into boiling lard or cook on a griddle. Noodle Soup—Noodles may be added to any soup atter it has been strained. They are prepared in the following manner : Beat up an egg, add a pinch of salt and stir in flour enough to roll. Roll out in a thin sheet, sprinklelightly with flour and roll it up closely. With a sharp knife cut very thin slices from the end of the rell and add to the soup while boiling. Cover and boil ten minutes. Rice Croquettes—Wash thoroughly one cup of rice and boil in a pint of milk and one of water until tender. ‘While hot add a piece of butter the size of an egg and a little salt. Have ready the yolks of two eggs and some cracker crumbs. Mold the rice into rolls a finger long and about two inches round. Dip into the egg, roll in the crumbs and fry in boiling hot lard. Some persons add to the mix: ture before frying the grated rind and juice of a lemon and two tablespoon- fuls of white sugar. Pound Cake—One pound of butter, one pound of flour, one pound >f sugar, ten eggs, one nutmeg grated, one glass - of rose water and brandy mixed. Beat the butter and sugar to a cream, whisk the eggs till they arc very light, then add them to the butter and sugar alter- nately with the flour. Stir in the spice and liquor, and beat the whole very hard for ten or fifteen minutes. Line your pan with two or three thicknesses of paper well buttered, pour in the mixture, aud bake it in a moderate oven for about three hours. Two pounds of dried currants may be added to this cake if you choose. Fairy Gingerbread—One cupful of butter, two of sugar, one of milk, four of flour, three-fourths of a teaspoonful of soda, one tablespoonful of ginger. Beat the butter to a cream. Add the sugar, gradually, and when very light, the ginger, the milk in which the soda has been dissolved, and finally the flour. Turn baking-pans upside down and wipe the bottoms very clean. But- ter them and spread the cake mixture very thin gn them. Bake in a mod- erate oven until brown. While still hot cut into squares with a case-knife and slip from the pan. Keep in a tin box. This is delicious. ~ With the quantities given, a large dish of gin- gerbread can be made. It must be spread on the bottom of the pan as a wafer, and cut the moment it comes ( from the oven. LATEST LEGAL LORE. —————ee. ENACT TNTS QF "IELAST LEG- ISLATURE IN BOUR FORM. Interesting Pointers For Corporations, Criminals acd People, —————eee The pamphlet laws of i893, containing the acts of the last )sgislature, have just been issued. It is only now thas a general knowiedge ofthe new laws can be gained, as until the booka are printed there is no collection of the legislative acts. Now the lawyers can examine tha laws at their leisure and begin to discusa how much the course of legal procedsre in var- ious lines will change on account of recent acts. The peatly bound volume of 1893 isa trific larger than those of the past few years, It contain many impertant enactn ents. some that are not so important, and then there are others which will not have any appar- ent effect in any way on the public. So far as public interest goes the acts range from the Baker bailot !aw which eaterially atfects every citizen or the state, down to the modest little enactment which prescrib- es what kind of butter jail birds shall eat. An attorney examined the new law for the benetit of the Pittsburg ‘Leader’ and pointed out a few of the more interest- ing acts. First among them is the Baker ballot law, which, however, has been so well aired all through the State that repeti- tion of the amended law is unnecessary. A law that has not drawn much attention to itself as yet, but which will have fur reaching results of an important nature, was that which permits the increase of the capi- tal stock of all corporations to 30,000,000. This applies to all corporations for profit and the increase is to be allowed in spite ot limitations in earlier acts, either special cr general. Verdicts of second-degree murder 1oean something more serious now than before. The maximum penalty has been increased from twelve years to twenty. This may not displease the criminal class, as juries may feel less dispcesed to find first degree verdicts when second degree will put a man away for so longa time. "he maximum penalty for manslaughter remains at twelve years. Another interesting criminal enactment relates to children. It provides that no child under 16 shall be placed with adultsin any cell or courtroom, nor in any vehicle for the, transportation of prisoners. It is also pre- vided thattrials must take place in a room separated from that where aduits are tried, and a separate docket of the proceedii gs must be kept. What may be classed as a supplement to the oleomargarine law is the enactment forbidding any charitable or penal institu- tion from furnishing anything but genuine butter to its inmates. If any warden or steward shall knowingly violate the law he shall become liable to a fine not exceeding $1,000 or imprisonment not exceeding two years, or both. Anyone who sells or uflers to sell is liable for the same penalty. A law that makes the progress of woman's rights movement is the new married wo- man’s property act. It provides that mar- ried women may make contracts the same as when single, and their rights are in all respects the same, except that they may not become accom- modation maker or indorser and may not sign a deed without their husband's consent. They may sue and be suel in their own name. The law relating to the board of assessors in second class cities has been altered and may work a change in the next triennial assessment. The downfali of the turnpike road is sug- gested by an act forbidding the establis:- ment of toll gates in boroughs. An echo ot the Homestead riots is found in the appropriation for the benefit of Al- bert M. Luther, Company C, Fifteenth Reg- iment, who was afflicted with typhoid at Homestead and was paid for the time he was sick. A law that will interest secret society men is that which provides for the incorporation of secret fraternal societies. Heretofore the organizations might have been incor: vorated as beneficial societies, but now they can be organized irom the start as secret societies. Young men about to get married ought to know that the price is higher than it was before the legislature met. The new fee bill 2)lous the squires a fee of $5—an iocrease of ¥2. A cursory glance through this latest ac quisition to legal libraries failed to develop much more of interest. and the examination was given up until some of the points arise in suits. a Robbing the Government. A device frequently practiced by per- sons who wish to defraud the Govern- ment. is called “sweating” gold coins. The trick is an old one, and was once 30 commonly practiced in England that it was made a capital offense, and many a poor fellow has paid for his greed with his life. The custom there was to shake a large number of gold coins in a bag for some time, letting them thus wear each other away. The bag would then be burned and a nugget of gold found in the ashes. At present cheaters of the govern- ment employ a swifter and more mod- ern method for removing gold. By means of an electric battery a very small amount of gold is transferred from a coin to a piece of platinum. Of course, the amount thus removed must not be enough to alter the appearance of the coin, and it takes many coins and much work before the fraud can be made profitable to the perpetrators. In those parts of the country where banks do not have the intricate ma- chinery necessary to detect this fraud the sweating of gold is quite commonly nracticad. CRISP AND CASUAL. TURKS believe that women have ng souls. EUROPEAN railroads stretch 142,685 miles. PIGEONS were employed in the maif service in Bible times. BY the emancipation proclamation 3,895,177 slaves were freed. FuLLy 80 per cent. of Russian and Servian soldiers are unable to either read or write. THE amount of money held by vari- pus London banks is not far short of 1,150,000,000. A ONE-ARMED resident of Yoncalla, Ore,, built a house twenty-four feet square without assistance. A LARGER portion of children sur- vive their first year of existence in Dublin than in any one of the twenty largest towns of England and Wales. THE Stonehenge monument consisted, when entire, of two circles and two dials, the outer circle being composed of sixty stones, each from thirteen to twenty feet in height. THE first sea-going vessel of alumin. ium is bei constructed in the dock- yards of the Loire. It is a cutter which would weigh, if made of the usual ma- terials, 4,500 tons, instead of its actual weight of 2,500 tons. KEYSTONE STATE CULLINGS MADE AN AWFUL ATONEMENT. A WATCHMAN CAUSES A COLLISION AND THEN KILLS" HIMSELF. ALLEXTOWN—Becoming excited over the problem of handling two freight trains over a grade crossing, Watchman Thomas Baer gave the wrong signal this morning at Catasaqua, which resulted in a collision be- tween a Lehigh Valley coal train aud the Crare iron Compan y's shifting engine, with 20 oil and coal cars. The Lehigh crew jumped and saved their lives. Joseph Ray, engineer of the Crane freight, was instantly killed, and Herbert J ames, engineer of the Lehigh Valley train, was fatally injured Watchman Baer, realizing his responsibil- ity, walked home. secured his revolver and shot himsell dead. — THE LUTHERN SYNOD ENDED. BrELLEFONTE—At Monday's session of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod a commiitee was appointed to make arrangements and devise means for the erection of a home for aged and wornout ministers. The report of the statistical secretary shows that in Central Pennsylyania Synod there are 46 ministers, 87 churches, with a valuation of $419,320. The membership is 8,784, a net gain of 244. Last year there were 696 ac- cessions. There are 71 Lutheran and 22 Union Sunday Schools, with 1,297 officers and 10,876 scholars. During the year there were raised for pastoral support and local expenses $42,849; for benevolence, $8,320; by the Sunday Schools $7.391. The Synod then adjourned after a10 days’ session to meet at Lewistown next September. —— DOUBLE DROWNING, MonoxNGanrLA CITY—By the capsizing of a skiff in thc Monongahela river at this point, Neal Roy and Louis Nirohr, glass workers. were drowned. In company with a number of young men, some of whom were under the influence of liquor, they were crossing the river and attemjted to change seats, thereby upsetting the craft. Roy leaves a wife and two children. ea ARBOR DAY OCTOBER 20. HarrIsBURG—Superintendent of Public Instruction Schaeffer has issued a circular naming Friday, October 20, as autumnal Arbor day. ERT Joun TURNER, a tramp,discovered a kettle filled with gold pieces buried under a tree on Six Mile Run, Beaver county He took the money to Industry.

About the same hour his son James fell from a tree, and it is feared sus:ained fatal injuries. Henry DoyLEg, of Pittsburg, climbed a chestnut tree near New Bedford. He fell, and, his clothing catching on a limb, held him fast, head downward. He was nearly dead when found Tromas and John Ackleson undertook to drive across the Panhandle road's tracks near Bulger in advance of a train. John and both horses were killed. A TRACT of 800 acres, near Franklin, has been selected as the site for the State Home for Feeble-Minded Children. The ground will cost $24,0)0. Tue commissioners of Fayette county are objecting to the size of the sheriff’s wash bills for the jail inmates. BexsaniN Texnis, the murder of 9-year - old Agnes Cooper Wright, was sentenced at Harrisburg to be hanged.

Hrxry FracLe was fatally injured by a {all of slate at Greensburg. Two inches of snow fell in Wayne coun- ty, on Saturday. WIVES OF FAMOUS MEN. GARRICK married an Austrian dancer rammed Veigel. During his whole mar- ried life the twain were never separa- ted for a single day, and when he died she retained an idolatrous affection for ais memory. WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR courted Matilda by pulling her off her horse in sight of her father’s castle and thrash- ng her with his horsewhip. She mar- ried him, convinced that he must be a very brave man. PAsSQUIER had a scolding wife, but remembering that “a scold’s speech is merely the exercise of her lungs,” he scolded back again with great success, and, as he humorously says, “had peace by constant war.” THE married life of Mara, the so- prano, was embittered by the conduct bf her husband, a violoncellist, who was said to be in a state of intoxication partial or intoxication complete for over twenty years. JoaN WESLEY, after publishing a treatise advising celibacy for the cler- zy, married a widow named Vizelle, who, after years of unhappiness, left him, carrying off his manuscripts. He never recalled her. THE typical case of marital confi- lence, contrasted with infidelity, is that of Belisarius and Antonina. Her {nfidelities were innumerable; his eon- idence was unbounded, and as with a spell she ruled him to the last. THE famous Rev. Andrew Bell had a virago who left him and then devoted her time to abusing him by mail. She once addressed a letter to him: “Ta that Supreme of Rogues, who looks the Hangdog that he is, Doctor Andrew Bell.” SIR THOMAS MORE undertook to edu- cate his wife and obliged her to prac- tice music. She hated music, but for some time complied with his wishes, then rebelled, and until his death hen- ecked him so successfully that he ound the Tower a comfortable refuge from her tongue. Day vs. Night. A scientific writer says that night is the time which pature utilizes for tke growth of plants and animals; children grow more rapidly during the night. In the daytime the sys- tem is kept busy disposing- of the wastes consequent on activity, but while asleep the system is free to extend its operations beyond tha mere replacing of worn-out particles, hence the rapid growth.
