HOME POOR PLACE TO WORK Best, Whenever Possible, That Man Should Be Away from the House in Daytime. The man of the house should not be the man in the house all day long, if it can be helped. If he be an artist with a studio at home, a minister with & study at the top of the house, a phy- sician with office hours, or any other man who is accustomed to carry on his work at home, the household ac- commodates itself to him, and in a sense ignores his presence. It is true that he Is constantly subject to inter- ruptions when he works at home, his wife softly opening the door to say, “The milkman has called for his bill, and cannot make change,” or “Some- body has asked for you at the door. ‘Will you not go down and see him?” or, “Do pardon me for breaking in up- on your work, but Aunt Jennie has Jjust telephoned that she is coming to luncheon. Won't you step over to the butcher’s and get a porterhouse steak?” It is not quite ideal for the man of the house to do his work at home. For his personal convénience and com- fort it is preferable that he should do it elsewhere. The temptation to run In upon him, to read a letter, tell a | bit of news or ask advice, is too great for the average woman to overcome. Also, he gains something in the es- timation of the family by going away 1 In the morning and returning at | night, while for himself there is the manifest advantage of a charming and | restful change of scene when he steps ( within his front door to be stormed 'welcomed by his true upon with kisses by the children and comrade and partner on the road.—Woman’s Home Companion. PECULIAR PRAYER TO COURT Error of Stenographer Responsible for a Few More Gray Hairs in Head of Lawyer. “They say that a lawyer has been saved by his stenographer,” said an attorney, at a recent lecture. “That is true, undoubtedly, because a law- yer's stenographer, who is observing, gets many points of law out of her ‘work. “But there is another side to it that must not be overlooked, and that is the mistakes that a lawyer's stenog- rapher makes. The law terms are so technical that it is not within reason ! to expect the stenographer to get ev- erything exactly right. “One of the most amusing errors that I have ever heard of in connec- tion with stenographic errors, if I may call it that, occurred in a certain law office the other day. The case was a divorce action, in which the plaintiff alleged cruel and inhuman treatment. “Plaintiff, being a woman with all the common law disabilities, prayed the court for ‘temporary alimony and suit money.” The prayer was dictated to the stenographer and she wrote it out and mailed it to the court. “Shortly afterward, the lawyer | chanced to read a copy and found to kis horror that the stenographer had | made the prayer one for alimony and | soup money.’” your choice'at the Sale Price " =$1.00 P oo Rt xww Gentiemen’ siHatsti We havela lotfof Gents’ Hats [values'$1.50 to $3.00, CHILDHOOD A VARIED PERIOD From Twenty Years, in the Human Race, It Grades Down to a Few Weeks Among the Birds. The childhood of animals varies with the total length of life, with the size, and especially with the position, in the life scale. Long lived animals, large animals and highly developed animals usually have a long youth. The educated human being requires 20 years to grow up; the savage about 15; the higher monkeys—the gorilla and the orang—I12 to 14 years; the baboon, 8 years, and the small mon- keys, about half that time. The less intelligent cat race has a youth of but 4 or 5 years among the larger mostly of small intelligence, grow up | quickly, the buffalo and all the big antelopes and deer having only about | 2 years of childhood, and the chamois somewhat longer, although the girafte hes & or 6 years. The elephant, the largest of land animals and one of the most intelligent, is not grown up until 20 to 27 years old. All birds have a short youth, looking after themselves In 3 weeks to 3 months, but becoming grown up in 1 to 4 years. Many rep- tiles—like the tortoise, crocodile, and alligator—seem to grow all their lives! Certain other creatures have a short adult period—the mayfly, for instance, spending 2 years on the bottom of a pong, and living but a few hours aft- | i er emerging fully grown from its skin | covering. Still more extreme is the American cicada, which gropes 17 | years underground, and lives but 2 or | 18 weeks after emerglng.

D 2 O P P T B T e et e s Historic Churchyard, The Church of St. George thé Mar- tyr, whose .crypt. it is proposed to fit up for the church scouts, is famous for the eminent men buried in its churchyard. For this was for many years the burial places of prisoners in the Marshalsea and King’s Bench, and lllustrious prisoners were common there. Bonner, Bishop of London, died In the Marshalsea, and was buried in St. George's churchyard, and here, too, pre buried Rushworth, clerk of parlia- ment in the days of Charles I. and the famous Cocker, whose arithmetic book went through a hundred edi- tions. The parish register records the marriages of Lilly, the astrologer, and General Monk. This parish register narrowly escaped destruction, for at a public vestry in 1776 it was resolved to “gell to Mr. Samuel Carter all the parish papers in a lump at three haff- pence per pound.”—London Chronicle. v Jupiter’s Moons. One of the greatest discoveries of science is due to observation of the eclipses of Jupiter’s moons. It was found that when the earth was in the part of its orbit nearest to Jupitee these eclipses occurred 16 minutes earlier than when it was in the fur. thermost part; whereas by all rulea of astronomy they should have oce curred at the same minute each time. It wes deduced from this that light was not instantaneous, and conse- | quently took 16 minutes to traverse | the diameter of the earth’s orbit, a distance of about 200,000,000 miles, thus giving to light a velocity of 186, 000 miles a second, which was ao- | | curately shown iater by other experi- | ments.

There i8 a curious hisgory regarding an unfinished church which stands at Hassall, near Sandbach, England. A former resident at the local hall, a Mr. Lowndes, painfully conscious of the lack of provision for the spiritual wants of the people in the neighbor- hood determined to build a church at his own _expense. After carefully choosfng a site, he gave instructions for the erection of a structure in the modern style capable of seating 400 or 500 persons. Work on it was begun in the summer of 1836, and was push. ed on steadily till the day on which Queen Victoria was crowned, by which time the building was well advanced. The crypts, about ten in number, had been put in, the walls and roofs were complete, and the scantlings for the floor were fixed. Indeed, partly in consequence of the national rejoicings, end partly to celebrate the progress which had been made, the building was smothered in flags and decora. tlons, and was the center of the local festivities. Next day Mr. Lowndea was seized with an illness which quicks ly proved fatal, and with his passing all work on the church ceased. Though the building could have been finished at comparatively small cost, it was abandoned; and it has not been used since, except by tourists, whose names “hallow and adorn it,” as Mark Twain said of those on the ruins of Cain’a Altar, by the thousand.—Wide World Magazine, Lace We have another lot of pretty laces we are closing out at, per yd. 1c Quality Unsurpassed Special 1 lot shoes worth to $3.50 at. $1.75 .worth to $2.50 at $1.50 at $1.00 1 lot at 75¢ Ginghams, Zephers, Lawns, Tissues, Voiles, Suitings, Silks, Foulards, Novelties, etec., etec.
