The capture w brought about by the treachery of a Tory inhabitant of Baskinridge, who, by professing loy- alty to America, had gained Lee's con. fidence, and who, by a long night's ride, had carried word of Lee's where- abouts to the dragoons. When Lee alized that he wus caught, with no possibility of escape, he showed great fear and begged his captors to spare his life. He may be treated not as a prisoner of who could be e changed, but as a deserter from the British army, subject to u sentence of death, since, according to report, his discharge from the King's sorvice has never been signed.

Day dreaming and building air castles are a pleasant re- treat from everyday things and is perfectly legitimate up to a certain. point, that point being when it crowds out practical things to the: extent that the child refuses to facelifeasitis. So that whilea little child may safely indulge in almost unlimited imagination, we must take care that as he advances towards maturity the world of Make- Believe must be left farther and farthgr behind or he will become unfit as an adult. Being legitimate, make-believe, up to a certain point, may well be taken advantage of by careful grown-ups, for work and discipline are often easily glorified by phantasy. Why it used to be & bore.

Now, with a nose comparatively long_horizontally from the lip oui- ward, and long perpendicularly from the root downward, you have a com bination of inquisitiveness and sus- piclousness. This type of nose asks ! many questions, taking pain to draw you out and to ferret out your secrets. It is the nose of the “inquiring mind” that continually is in pursuit of knowledge of all kinds. Detectiv fe eting out offenders against the laws and bringing to light deeds of durkness, develop these signs largely. When both apprehension and in- quisitiveness are large—the one striv- ing to extend the nose perpendicularly and the other pushing it out hori- | zontally, there sometimes occurs a thickening of the end forming what is called a “bottle nose.” HOME NOTES | Quite the most delightful doll furni- ture we have seen—these tiny treas- ures are perfect reproductions of real colonlal furniture. They are scaled to full-sized furniture in the propor- | tion of 1 to 12, so that the little high- boy picture in the center is 6 inches high instead of 6 feet. Imagine how entrancing a whole doll house furnished with this furni- ture would be—and also how educa- tional for its small owner! The little lowboy at the lower left, like the highboy, is stained mahogany color and has tiny bra knobs. The ladder-back chair has a_real rush seat aund is painted a frivolous blue. The banjo clock, table lamp, mirror with fretted frame and brass andle- stick are all in proportion and do much to give a doll house a truly homelike air. What Do You Know About It?

The existence of an earthquake ghock is ordinarily known by mears ot the seismograph, an instrument grounded in the earth and supporting a very sensitive needle, which writes a picture of all waves reaching the instrument. Even the time is known from the fact that the paper on which the pen writes is placed on a revolv- ing dial operated by a clock, and, mak- ing allowances for the distance which the waves must travel, the exact second of the first occurrence of shock is known. It is more unusual for a telescope to betray the cxistence of a tremor. When Father Toundorf of Georgetown was a voung man, he re- lates, he was looking at a planet through a telescope, when suddenly the planet began to jump up and down in its course.

Brooklyn, N. Y. 1 frequently have heard New York City referred to as the largest city in the world, the hub of the universe, the center of civilization, ete. Would vou kindly state when, if ever, it sur- passed Loridon in these respects? What would you say were the chief distinctive characteristics of London and New York City? Answer—There is no special merit in size except for those who are be- witched by the vulgarity of bulk. Nor would Poston admit that New York was the hub of the universe any more than Rome concedes that it is not the center of Christlan civilization. The remarks you note are no more than foam on the wave, the overflow of a proper pride in New York's marvelous growth. Yet London is larger than New York and both would be more congenial to many of t ¢ citizens if | they were not quite so big. As for their distinctive character istics, despite its intermixture of for- eign population, London is typically British, whereas New York is perhaps the most mopolitan city on earth. The former is historic to venerable. ness; the latter a relatively modern development Both express the tendencies of their builders and of the ages in which they wrought. There are still extant traces of the London of the ancient Briton, succeeded by Roman, Anglo- Saxon, Danish, Norman, Plantagenet, Tudor, Stuart, Georgian and Victo London, each in its own order. New York’s three centuries cover the Dutch settlement, the British occupation and the rise of A . The mass solidarity of the older capital indicite the tempe of the people who sustain the larges empire of history. The bold and beau- tiful skyline of the younger city sug- gests the aggressive grasp of today’s civilization upon i material re- sources. Yet both have souls beneath their giant ribs. Does not London speak to us of the past with a thou- sand tongues? Does not New York confldently predict a great future which few will dispute who know what the city has already achieved?
