Is. Whenever any meteor has any pecu-

titled, note carefully its apparent path among
the stars. This may be done by drawing its
path upon the charts published by the Con-

stitution, or the stars near which, or to which
or from which, it is moving may be noted,
together with the distance from those stars.
Meteors leaving persistent trains are best
adapted to these observations. When such

A ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.
MOTHER CLAIMS HER CHILD-AFFEcTING
SCENE IN COURT.

very affecting scene took place in the
Supreme Court Chambers in New York be-
fore Judge Barnard, one which, for the time,
brought tears to the eyes of nearly every
spectator. 1t appears about six years ago
one Mrs. Barrett left babe, named Edward
Barrett, twelve days old, with woman
named Mrs. McCabe. From that time till
now Mrs. McCabe has brought up, supported
and educated the child
The mother went South, married again.
and after a lapse of the above time, came to
claim her offspring. She asserted her cause
with all the eloquence of a mother heart
Mrs. McCabe, set forth that she was tenderly
attached to the child; that she had expen
died considerable sum on its behalf She
also produced letters from an eminent ply
stefan showing that the child had been as it
were snatched from death. The little boy,
on being called on to go to his mother. chung
to Mrs. McCabe, and resolutely refused to go
to his real parent. This produced quite
scene. The mother, in heartrending tone,
exclaimed:
"Oh, Judged Judge! Don't give my child
away-my heart will break-it will break I"
/" Don't break the child's heart" tearfully
but energetically responded Mrs. McCabe.
The Judge for few moments, was evil
IDENTIFY embarrassed, but at length said:
My good woman, Ito the mother) your
case is a hard one; but your child is of ten
der age, delicate in health, and evidently at
tached to the people who have always
brought him up. If give him to you now,
and you take him South, he will surely die.
I will let him remain where he is for one year.
By that time he will be stronger and health
Ter; then, if you apply again, your applica-
ton may be granted"
Counsel for the mother here said that Mrs
McCabe had offered to give up the child, if
she was paid $50.
This Mrs. McCabe denied.
Judge Barnard said that if $75 were wan
ted to get the child back, the mother should
call on him, and he would give it to her.
Il do not want to sell the child, - said Mrs.
MeCabe.
The parents then left the court, the mother
sobbing with grief, but the boy clinging
to Mrs. McCabe's neck with an ntensity of
affection almost painful to witness.

A DUKES ADVENTURE

A DUKES ADvENTURE.-The Duke of
Hamilton and Mr.. Thos. Wombwell had a
strange adventure after the recent DeanviIle
races in France. Having missed the train,
and being very anxious to return to London,
the Duke went to the coast to charter YES
sci to convey him and his friend to Brighton,
for the use of which they had offered one
thousand francs. The police, hearing that
two strangers were offering fishermen large
sums of money to convey them to England,
pouneed down upon Mr.. Wombwell as one
of the two "welchers'' who had bolted from
the race course with the pools. On the re-
turn of the Duke short explanation set the
matter right.

MILLIONS OF MoNEY.-An aged man, who
was prominent merchant in this city In the
time of the war of 1912, was asked the other
day how many men there were at that period
supposed to be worth million of dollars
The answer was: "Not one We never
talked about naillaonaires; we never thought
about millions as belonging to individuals"
A gentleman well known in this State says
that he was at a dinner party in Albany last
winter, gathered not with reference to wealth,
but for other reasons where he counted at
table eight men, among those thus casually
collected, who were worth over a million
each; and every one of them had begun life
in actual poverty.
Such is the growth of our country. and
such is the quality of the men it produces.
