The History of PeWs.

The first seats provided in churches
are seen in those of some Anglo-Saxon
and Norman ediices still standing in
England. They consist of stone benches
which project from the wall running
around the whole interior excepting on
the east end. In 1919 the congregations
are represented as sitting on the ground
or standing, and it was at this period
that the people introduced low, rude,
three-legged stools promiscuously over
the church. Not until after the Norman
conquest were wooden seats brought
into use. liz 1887 decree was issued,
in regard to the wrangling for seats
(Which had become decided nuisance),
that no one should call any seats in the
church his own except noblemen and
patrons, each person taking the nearest
empty seat he could find, as he entered
the church. From 1880 to 1910, as we
approach nearer to the reformation,
seats were more generally appropriated,
their entrance being guarded by cross
bars, and the initial letters of their own
ers engraved upon them. But directly
after the reformation the pew system
commenced, for there is extant COM
plant from the poor commons addressed
to Henry VIII. in 1916, referring to his
decree that a Bible should be in every
church at liberty for all to read, because
they feared it might be taken into the
"guyre" or some "pue." Galleries in
churches were not known until 1908.
As early as 1911 luxurious arrange-
ments we're considered essential in
church pews, and they were baized 81
cushioned all over their sides, and the
seats furnished with comfortable cush-
ZONES, while foot-stoOls were also intro
duced. Next the sides of the pews were
made 30 high that they entirely conceal
ed the occupants from view. Fireplace
were also built in the pews, and every
possible convenience added for the com
fort of the highly-favored few. But the
services were often so long and tedious
that the listeners fell asleep, and fre-
quently nodded their appreciation of the
minister's sermons, while they were to-.
tally oblivious of it's teachings. Swift'a
lines, which we quote, alludeto the pre-
/ vailing fashion of church upholstery:
"a bedstead of the antique mode,
Compact of timber 1iany load,
Such as our ancestors did use,
Was metamorphosed into pews,
Which still their ancient nature keep,
By lodging folks disposed to Sleep"
With the reign of Charles I. the rea-
sons for the heightening of the sides of
the pews disappeared; and from the civil
war they declined to their present

Russian Wounded During the War

During the late war thirty-six trains,
specially fitted up for the purpose, were
constantly employed in removing the
sick and wounded of the Russian army
in Bulgaria and Roumelia from The
theater of operations into the interior Of
Russia. Of these trains, twenty-four
we're provided by the military authori.
ties, seven by the Russian Red Gross
Society, two by the imperial family and
three by Germany, the average number
of carriages in each train being twenty
four.
All the sick and wounded in Bulgaria
who could be moved were in the first
instance carried to Sistova or Simnitiza
There they were placed in hospital.
their cases inquired into, their wounds
bound up afresh, proper medicines and
food given to them, and then after a fen
days rest, they were transported in ca1
riages to the terminal station of the raj
way at Fratesti. At the Russian frontie.
permanent commission of thirty doc
tors was established. These examined
carefully all the patients that arrived
and divided them into three classes. Io
the first were placed those that were 50
severely wounded or so seriously i'll thai

them further. In the second class cap5s
those who were only so slightly injureG
or uhwell that they would probably ns
able to shortly reioin their corps, au
these were echelonned along the railwa
running into the interior; while in tlae
third class were placed those who could
be moved with safety, but who were nef
likely to recover speedily, and these
sent back into the heart of the count
care being taken to assemble all thoss
ill with the same disease at the same
places.
Two of the ambulance trains started
for the interior every day, the doctors
and attendants accompanying them, each
being allowed fourteen days rest after
each journey. y.-PaU Mall Gazette.

A Cats Fierce Attack.

The New York World says At the
beginning of the winter Mrs. Sager, @
German woman, who lives in the tene-
ment house at No. % Sherman avenue,
Jersey City, remarked to her husband
that their rooms we're overrun by mice,
and asked him to get a cat. In COM
pliance with her request he one day
made her a present of cat. 1t was q
large-sized cat, entirely black, with the
exception of white spot on the breast,
and it had such gentle eyes that it
speedily became the pet of the family,
and was the favorite plaything of the
youngest member of the family, boy
of three, who was in the habit of rub.
bing its fur the wrong way, pulling its
tail and doing all sorts of things to it
which ordinary cats do not allow to be
done to them. Besides being an orna-
ment, the cat proved to be useful, as it
drove all the mice out of the rooms.
Last week it presented litter of kittens
to a grateful family, who promptly
drowned them. Since then a change
was observed in the cat it's tail Stunned
the fingers of the baby. On Sunday
afternoon the cat slept for some time in
the cot of the baby. When it woke up
it uttered melancholy moan, and then
walked gloomily into a corner. Mrs.
Sager took pity on it, and pouring some
milk into saucer, offered it to the cat.
The latter turned it's head away at first,
then it gave fierce cry and leaped with
stiffened tail and distended claws upon
Mrs. Sager's breast. cit flew on me
like bird, was the way in which Mrs.
Sager described the movement. The
cat held itself tightly on Mrs. Sager by
sinking its claws into her dress and then
tried to bite her neck. 1t failed in this,
but succeeded in burying its teeth
deeply in her right arm near the elbow.
Mrs. Sager's three children ran into the
room attracted by her cries, and man
aged to take the cat off their mother
But the cat appeared to have become
crazy and attacked the three children.
Nettie. aged twelve, was bitten on the
nose and cheeks Louis, aged four, on
the legs, arms and hands Margaret,
aged nine, was slightly bitten on the
foot. The attack was so fierce that Mrs.
Sager and her children ran out of the
room, leaving the cat alone. A message
was sent to the police station, and an
officer went to the house and shot the
cat after an exciting hunt. The wounds
of Mrs. Sager and her children were
cauterized and no serious result is ap-
pretended. The only member of the
family who was not bitten is the baby.
Mr.. Sager at the time was away from
home.

An Aerial Spy.

Mr.. w. b. Woodbury. has recently
proposed an ingenious idea for taking
photographs of an enemy's works from
a balloon, without necessitating the pres
ence of an aeronaut in the car. Electri-
cal wires are run along the cable by
which the air ship is held captive. In
stead of car a box is provided, inside
of which another box is pivoted 80 that
it will keep horizontal. In the inner
box is the Photographic apparatus, and
over the lens is an ebonite shutter
moved by the current, to open or shut
instantaneously. There is also a sensi-
tized tissue on rollers in rear of the lens,
which is operated by clockwork, also
controlled by the current. When the
balloon is elevated to the required
height, the lens properly focused and
the tissue in position, the shutter is set
in motion by the current, giving instan-
taneous exposure. A Photograph is thus
obtained, and by further controlling the
clockwork fresh sensitized surface may
be exposed and additional images taken.

My brother come a week afore we

came as far as Omaha. He'd done well
out in Nebrasky, an he gave me right
smart of money when he left. was
took sick on the road-I disremember
just where-and they left me at a town
with q woman named Dixon. She took
care Of me; was out of my head long
time, an when I come to I told 'em to
write to Brice, an they writ, an 1
reckon they took the name of the place
from the ticket. 1 was weak like fur a
long spell, an they KEEP writin' an no
word come, and then Irecollected about
the town it was Los Angeles on the
ticket, and then I couldn't think of the
place, I'd sent the letters to before, an
thinkin' worried me, and the doctor said 1
mustn't try. So just waited, an when
got to Los Angeles kept a askin' for
a man named Brandt, till one day some
body said Brandt, Brandt, pears to me
there's a Brandt way over beyond the
Mission An I went there an they
showed me your house. Then q
man give us a lift on his team q part o.
the way, an we walked the rest. It
didn't look very fur, but they say noun
tains is deceivin'. There's somethin'
kind of grand about 'em, I reckon, it
makes everything pear sort O. small"
Mrs. Brandt told Joel about it that
evening.
"I just took the two of them up to
the shanty, and opened the door, and
you'd cried to see how pleased she
was with everything. And 1 told her
to kindle fire and I'd fetch up bite o.
supper. And when 1 carried it up and
left it, I just come back and stood on
the step till saw Brice comm home.
He was walkin' slow as if his feet was a
weight, and when he took hold of the
door he stopped a minute, looking over
the valley kind of wistful and hopeless.
I guess she heard him come for she
opened the door, and turned around
and come in. Barbara Brandt, says 1,
you'v seen your see. If God wants to
look at that I suppose he has right
to; nobody else has, that's certain"

public washing-place of Vera Cruz is 8
curious institution. Stone troughH.
about three feet high, extend around
two sides of a large square. These
troughs are divided into compartments
which look very much like stable-man'
gers, and each compartment in addition
to the receptacle for the water is furn-
ished with a stone slab upon which tne
linen is rubbed. Probably hundred
brown women, some of them young anN
handsome, and others old and ugly,
were busily engaged in rubbing, smok 2

of them gave us more than a passing
glance. Their costume was cool but Dy

That amiable pair, the King and
Queen of Denmark, with their daughter,
Princess Thyra, had narrow escape
from death the other evening. They
we're driving from their country resi-
dence in Copenhagen to attend the
opera. The road crosses railway line,
and is guarded by a gate, which the
keeper happened, upon that evening, to
have carelessly left open. AS the car
riage crossed train suddenly turned q
curve and the hind wheels of the car
rage were actually touched by the buff
fers of the engine. The Queen was 80
much affected by the thought of the
death SO near her, that she was obliged
to leave the theatre before the represen-
tation was over. The railway company
dismissed the gate keeper, but the kind
ly King said that "the man had had
such lesson that he would be sure to
be careful in future, and asked that he
should be reinstated.

THE RADICALS AND THE NEGRO
The Alexandria GazeH referring to the
proposition on the part of the radicals to
disfranchise the negro. SO as to reduce
the southern delegation in Congress,
has the following pertinent remarks:
Mr. James Parton, in an article in the
last number of the North American Re-
view, pointedly intimates determine
ton to the same effect, and says the
greatest injury ever inflicted upon the
negro in this country was when, all UNI
prepared for it as he was, the privilege
of suffrage was thrust upon him. We
agree with Mr.. Parton in this assertion.
and also when he says that but for that
injury the conventional antipathy that
exists between the two races by this
time would have been modified to a
considerable degree, but we go beyond
him, and assert our confident belief that
had it not been for that same injury the
material condition of both races at the
South, and consequently of the whole
country, would be infinitely better than
1T is. But, having conferred upon them
the privilege of voting, for the double
purpose Of gratifying their own amino
sity to the South, and of perpetuating
their own control of the government,
the radicals will have to bear their part
of the necessarily consequent injury.
and, in addition, have what they impos-
ed on those they hated as condition of
weakness turned into an element of
strength, for that privilege can never
be revoked under the present form OF
government.

his m rriage, he was taken violently

in Richmond were notified, and Miss
Powell and her parents came on. AL
though the doctor could not be dressed
or even sit up in bed, he insisted upon
being married, and after little it was
decided that it was best his wishes
should be complied with. During the
ceremony he remained wholly con-
scious, but when it was over sank back
on his pillow entirely exhausted. His
condition is very critical Washington
