The SIGNING OF THE DECLARATIoN.-The
Declaration being adopted was next to be
signed; and here again we come upon an
equally hopeless contradiction in testimony.
This same Thomas Mexican wrote in 1914
to ex-President Adams, speaking OF the
Declaration Of Independence: "No man
signed it on that day "-Bamely, July 4,
17T6. Jefferson, on the other hand, writing
some years lateI, thought that Mr.. Mckean's
memory had deceived him; Jefferson him
self asserting, from his, early notes, that
"The Declaration was reported by the COM
mittee, agreed to by the House, and signed
by every member present except Mr. Dick
inson." But Jefferson, who was also an &C.
togenarian, seems to have forgotten the sub
sequent signing OF the Declaration parch-
ment, until it was recalled to his memory,
as he states. few years litter. II there was
a previous signing Of Il written document
the manuscript itself has long since disap-
peared and the accepted historic opinion
Is that both these venerable witnesses were
mistaken; that the original Declaration was
signed only by the President and Secretary,
John Hancock, and Charles Thomson; and
that the general signing Of the parchment
cory took place on Sugl>t I'd. 1t Is proba-
Bile, Of least, taat tiitv-four Of the tifty-Iil
names were appended y that day: and that

member, and by Mexican, who was then
temporarily absent. jefferson used to re-
late, "with much merriment," says Parton,
that the final signing of the Declaration was
FASTENED by very trivial circumstance.
Near the hall was large stable, whence the
flies issued in lcgions. Gentlemen were in
those days peculiarly sensitive to such dis
comforts by reason Of silk stockings; and
when this annoyance, supcradded to the
summer heat OF Philadelphia, had become
intelerable, they fastened to bring the busi-
hess to q conclusion. This may equally well
refer, however, to the OF iginal vote; flies
are flies, whether in July CO. August.
American traditicn has chung to INC phrases
assigned to the different PARTICIPANTS
in this scene. John Hancock's ccuidlsntary
ON his own bold handwriting, "There,
John Bull may read my name without spec
tacles"; Franklin's, g We must hang to-
gether, or else. most yassuredly, we shall all
hang separately; and the heavy Harri-
sons remark to the slender Elbridge Gerry,
that, in that event, Gerry would be kicking
in the cir long after his own fate would be
settled. These things may or may not have
been said !; but 1t gives a more human in
terest 10 the event when we know that they
were eYen attributed. What we long to
know is that the great acts Of history were
done by men like ourselves, tGDd not by
dignified machines. -Scribnes TOR July.

How a Mormon Wife Feels.

THE younger Mormon meanwhile
had been silent. She was about TWEEN
ty-eight years old, dressed neatly in
lawn, had pretty teeth, fair skin, and
big blue eyes. TrEn 7nE
Her two children, boy and a girl,
were drawing a doIl-carriage around
the yard, but, firing of it, they came
and leaned upon her knee. They were
pretty little things, and when praised
them she put her arms tightly around
each little form and pressed them
closely to her, hiding her eyes in the
little girls curls, 90 What is your
name, little one ?"~ [ asked the boy.
" / am papa's baby, and her is papa's
dirl," said the little fellow, digging
his fist in his sisters neck. Then they
started again on their romp around the
yard. "You must be happy with
those little darlings, and of course
your husband has no other wife?''
emo, he has no other wife" her
lips quivered and her eyes filled with
tears, "but he will have one before
long. | have tried not to believe it,
but | can see him slipping from me
every day. I wrote my mother in New
Y DIRK about it, and she said for me not
to live here day when that happened,
to bring my children and come to her.
But / love my husband just as other
women do. My children are his. [
could not take them away and be happy
without him. So [ shall stay here
with HIM. -Coatrie9-J Oat77aGI.

Not one of them is idle. nor seems to
wish to be. Most of them are driving.
Some are pitching, few are feeding
the separator, a few more are filling,
sewing and carrying away the bags,
and some are brushing away the heaps
of chaff. Early in the day there is
plenty of talk and laughter, but later
on, as the work tells, and the sun
grows hot, the tongues become silent,
and the hubbub of the machines alone
fills the air.
At noon huge van is driven upon
the field, laden down with a dinner Of
meat, vegetables and pies, all well
cooked and very palatable.r Farm
hands. like fishermen, nowadays are
epicures. This van is so constructed
that it's sides form broad tables. The
cooks who serve stand in the body of
the wagon, and the diners range them
selves around the outside. All are
sheltered by a screen of wood or can
vas overhead.-Appyeto1as' Journal for

shams," that woos us to balmy sleep.
A householder with a limited purse
and knack for carpentry, who is OPP
pressed by rooms full of furniture of
nightmare designs, might find relief
by saving and chiseling off all unrea-
sonable and meaningless ornaments
$50 called. He could not fail to i'm
prove matters; he would gain in health
full exercise, and increase the family
store of hard wood kindiings. Tables
should stand firmly on four or more,
good straight legs and not be balanced
on one shaky pivot like teetotum or
an inverted bottle. All furniture
should be finished all around, so that
any part can be turned to view, which
suits the arrangement or use for the
time Furniture should be selected
piece by piece, as one has the good for
tune to find decent specimens. 1t is
better not to hurry, even if the house
has to be occupied half furnished, and
the stock completed as circumstances
will allow. Don't make things I'M
comfortable to please the neighbors !;
your home is not for them. Have ev-
erything made for use, and use the
best you have. Comfort and luxury
do not consist in the accumulation of
things which make work for any one,
but in making life simple and in hay
ing everything fit and good, not elabo-
rate and snowy. Put away all shams,
and lies, and SO order your surround
ings that however modest, they shall
serve for what they were intended. If
they do this fully, they can never be
altogether ugly.

A Remarkable Frog Story.

A REMARKABLE incident occurred
at Brown & Halls sawmill, in Acton,
while pine log was being sawed up
into lumber. The outside slab and
one board had been cut off, and while
the workmen were turning over the
log they were surprised to see large
toad poke his head out of a hole in
which he was imbedded, and where
he had barely escaped being cut up by
the saw. How the stranger got there
was mystery, as he was completely
encased in the wood, with no possible
means of ingress or egress. AS the
log was the fourth or fifth from the
butt of the tree, his position must
have been at least fifty or sixty feet
from the ground, and he had no doubt
grown up with it from infancy, being
probably hundreds of years old. The
animal was quite flat, and nearly as
large as a mans hand. He was per-
fectly blind, but when taken from his
bed he made use of his limbs to crawl
away. The tree was perfectly sound
with the exception of a decayed spot
of about a foot in length below the
hollow place in which he was imbedded.
How did he get there, and what did
he live on ?-TorO71tO Globe.
