LAFAYETTE SQUARE.-Next to Jackson
square this inclOsure is considered public
park of diminutive eze, but great attrac.
lion. Ladies and children delight in it, and
during the gu lnmer mouths it is crowded in
the cool of the evening with little girls and
babies with their nurses. 1t is q favOrite
short cut, though the walks might be in
better condition. The seats are OF iron, but
they are in such q state that they only
suggest how much more dilapidated they
would be if made of elighter material. The
park is free to all. The poorest have as
much right to enjoy its pure air, green grass
and quiet speculation on how soon the
white statue Of Franklin will look worse
than the green one in Boston, as the owner
of ten times the area. But his comfort must
be taken with respect to that Of others. 1t
is not pleasant, in passing through, to
see dozen idle men sprawled around in
enforce scantiness of clothing, if it is such
as suggests . commitment to the work
house the wearer ought not to be in public
place. OF late several parties OF boys and
young men have monOpOlized a larged por-
ZION of the square by engaging in base ball.
This would be entirely unobjectionable if it
cid not trouble other people. But it often
happens that the lively ball flies in direc.
tons entirely unexpected by the chance
peholder. Ladies who have started to cross
tne square. or who. perhaps, are studying
the mark of the lightning on the tree, are
often much disturbed by the way the
hall flies. So it seems that base ball inter-
ieres with them, and, therefore, it is not
proper that it should be played there. The
young devOtees Of this very cOmmendable
amusement must sacrifice themselves and
select some other place, for the complaint
is much more serious than is here indicated.

A VERY FINE, THOUGH THIN, ATTEMPT.
Before CASTOR Larghe was tried for rape,
and while he was in the Parish Prison,
letter was handed to him, it having passed
through our postoffice. The letter was
signed with the name of the woman who
made the charge, and contained conciliatory
proposals, but the woman fatty denies all
knowledge Of it. The letter was evidently
written by an educated person. which fact
cropped out in every sentence, nOtwith.
standing great effort was apparent to make
il read az if written by an ordinary indi-
vidual. CASTOR answered it, and also sent
letter to Judge Braughn. The three
e,,istles, when combined, presented cum
ming effort in behalf Of the accused, but the
least thoughtful person could readily dis
cover the attempted trick to work in favor
OF the prisoner. The whole affair was Gun.
ningly devised, but was entirely unsuccess-
III, as it deserved to be.

CauSeS of INSANITY.

About 30 per cent. of the idiots of
large towns in Canada are the children of
drunkards, while long catalogue of
other diseases is given as especially COM
mon with the same unfortunate class,
and the strong tendency to drunkenness
on the part of drunkards' children is also
notorious. The marriage of first cousins
is spoken. of as an especially fruitful
cause OF insanity and idiocy, and the
practice on this account strongly con-
demned The principal causes of insani-
ty are hereditary predisposition bad
education immortality tobacco opium !;
drunkenness; convulsive diseases; con-
sang1inity and incompatible unions.
The faint from the mother is far more
frequent and dangerous than from the
father. While the neglect of education
or leaving children to the education of
the street no doubt in a good many cases
induces insanity, the forcing system OF
teaching pursued by many parents and
teachers in trying to make children

THE LITTLE PEOPLE.
The Three Little Chairs

Inc Ihree Little Chairs.
They sat alone by the bright wood fire,
The gray-haired dame and the aged sire,
Dreaming of days gone by;
They both had thoughts that they could not speal
As each heart uttered sigh.
For their sad and tearfnl eyes deserted
Three little chairs, placed side by side,
Against the sitting-room wall;
Old-fashloned enough, as there they stood,
Their seats OF rush and their frames of wood
With their backs SO straight and tall.
Then the sire shook his silvery head,
And with trembling voice he gently said
Mother, those empty chairs
They bring us such sad, sad thoughts, tonight,
Well put them forever out of sight,
the small, dark room, up STAIRS
But she answered, "Father, no, not yet,
Ford look at them, and forget
That the children went away
The boys come back, and our Mary, too,
With her apron on of checkered blue,
And sit here every day.
$50 let them stand there, though empty now
And every time when alone we bow
At the Fathers throne to pray,
Wen ask to meet the children above,
In our Savior's home of rest and love,
Where no child goeth away"

Personal.
Mr.. J. A. PECK, a Presbyterian deacon Of
Baraboo, made a visit to Chicago and, straying
into an auction room, heard the pitiful story of
a young man who. through poverty was COM
PEELED to part with his valuable gold watch.
Wishing to aid the unfortunate young man and
secure good thing for himself, the deacon bid
on the watch and secured it for the small sum
of 800. On his return he exhibited his prize.
He has not been SO jubilant since he has had
his eyes, opened to the fact that he paid about
1913 more than it was worth

Snow.

Snow is good fertilizer, because it is
bad conductor of heat, and in preserv-
ing plants from the cold renders the ac-
ton of the manure contained in the soil
more powerful. But this is not all. DIR.
Poncheur, French chemist, has OBJ
served that the purest snow always left
black residuum He examined this and
found it contained particles which have
been held in suspension in the air, and
the first fall of snow contains the greatest
number of these, which, collecting
around plants, form an almost invisible
but very fruitful manure. This soil
which is brought from the air by the
snow is not as invisible as one might sup
pose. Every one knows that a body of
snow, however pure, becomes black
when it has melted. But this does not
arise from the mud or dust on the
ground, but comes from the atmos
phere. This can be proved by putting
lump of new fallen snow under glass
bell it will appear as soon as it COM
mences to melt, and on examining this
pile of particles with the microscope they
are found to be of every conceivable
variety. To form an idea of the quantity
of these atmospheric sweepings, look at
the particles in a sunbeam and then COM
pute how many shower of snow can
bring down. This also explains why a
layer of earth can SO quickly collect on
bare rock.
