now THE STAR sPaNaLED HAMMER
WAS WRITTEN.

During the bombardmenl OF Fort Nc.
Henry by the British, Sept, 10, 1914,
Francis Scott Key visited The British fleet
to obtain the release OF biz friend, Or.
Besnes OF Prlace George County, who
had been made a prisoner Of war, and
was on board one Of the ships, where he
was detained until the firing ceased. On
tho cessation OF the bombardment Mf.
Key was permitted to leave the enemy'a
ships aud was rowed TO the fort, bearing
with him the song OF the Star Spangled
Banner, which he had composed during
the midnight watches Of the night Soon
after he landed, the rough draft Of the
verses, as he bad just written them down
on the back Of letter while coming
ashore in tho row boat, were handed
around and some Of the garrison made
copies OF them. Judge Nicholson, the
captain Of the artillery company at the
fort, and Mr. Key had married sisters,
aud the Judge seems 20 have been the
first person to whom the author showed
tho verses. The same night, at his hotel
in Baltimore, Mr.. Key wrote out fair
copy Of The verses as they now stand,
and the next day gave copy to Judge
Nicholson, who had the song published,
and il was sung publicly for the first
time shortly aiterward IN The Holiday
Street theatre.

Courier. .Journal.l


Senator Beck, in his recent speech
on the legislative, executive and ju-
dicial appropriation bill, pointed out
a leak which the Republican Admin
istrations have taken special pains TO
keep in operation fos The purpose Of
rewariing favorites for political SER
vices. That leak is IN the custom
house system. Out Of the one hum
dred and twenty-eight custom-houses,
there are thirty.six whose expenses
rage from $1,000 10 $4,000 oUerY and
d6ore the receipts. There are thir-
teen custom-houses IN Maine, alone.

collections aggregate 100000 and the

Wages and Cost Of Living.

The May returns to the Department
Of Agriculture show that the average
wages of labor, without board, ON
yearly engagements have declined
from S2l. l9per month to 20.26, or
AZ per cent. during the past year.
The cost Of board Of farm laborers de-
clined 416 per cent, or from $7.45
per month to S7.l4. Four States and
two Territories show an increased rate
Of wages--Minnesota, Colorado, CAL
ifornia, Oregon, New Mexico and
Washington Territory. All other
States show a decliuc. This decline
is greatest in Vermont, 80 per cent:
Maryland % per cent, and Virginia
1871 per cent. The cost Of subsist-
encc has advanced in four States and
two Terriiorics--New Jersey, Penn
sylvania. Texas. Colorado, New Mex
leo and Washington Territory. All
other States show q smaller cost Of
subsistence. Vermont declines 81
per cent, in the price Of board, and
Maryland 40 per cent. The general
tone Of correspondence is hopeful Of a
revival Of industry, and the surplus Of
unemployed labor is growing less.
Good labor can generally find employ
ment at fair prices. Many are idle
because they will not accept the re-
ducsd wages offered.

Henry's wonderful eloquence had
swept away everything. When the
House was called upon 10 say wheth-

they were passed--tlie last and most
important of them by single vote.
The Burgesses then adjourned in

would have given five hundred

defeat the resolutions. But the peo-

LYING IN BED.
View on the Advantage Of Not
Getting up in the Morning.


~ London society
Let us analyzc this lying in bed o
little further. ! maintain that, in the
mere fact OF lying in bed, there is
something healthy and rccuperative
10 the system. The wheels of life are
oiled and eased. The proper and le-
gitimate purpose of stopping in bed
is 10 go TO sleep. There is nothing
like sleep. There is no tonic or med
icine in the whole world like sleep.
The more sleep the brain gets the
better does tho brain work. All
great BRAIN workers have been great
sleepers. Sir Walter Scott could
never do with less than ten hours. A
fool may want eight hours, as George
III. said, but philosopher wants
nine. The men who have been the
greatest generals arc the men who
could sleep at will. Thus it was with
both Wellington and Napoleon. The
greatest speakers In the House of
Commons have been the men who
can go to sleep there as much as they
like. This explained the juveniliiy
of the aged Palmerston. There is a
man who has beun Attorney General,
whom / hayc seen bury his face in
his hands over his desks and sleep
soundly until his own cause should
como on. "Sleep," says the Greek
proycrb, 'is the medicine for every
disease. If he sleep he will do well.'
A friend told me that he treated him
self for fever. He went 10 bed
with a large pitcher of lemonade by
his side. He drank and slept, slept
and drank, till he drank aud slept
himself we'll again. When you take
TO your bed get all the sleep you can
out Of your bedstcad, even although,
to quote Dick Swivellcr's saying, you
have to pay for doublc-be beddej
room, confcssing that you have takeI
most unreasonable amount of sleel
out OF q single bed. You will b,
banking whole store ofrecuperativ,
energy. Even If You cannot sleep
still keep to your bed. There is II,
more pestilent heresy than that yol
should get up directly You are awake
II it is the early riser who carchel
the worm, the worm is a great idio
in rising still earlier in order to bt
caught. If you do not get sleep by
lying in bed you get rest. You Sc
cure the fallow ground which will
hereafter produce a good harvest
Sleep is Of course the proper employ
ment for bed. but If you don't sleel
you can lie still and read. Idon't be
lievesthat the man who gets up realll
learns or does more than the maj
who lies in bed. II, for moment
the writer may be egotistical, som,
Of the hardest work which he has eve
done has been from the early dawi
till after breakfast in bed. Ofal
sleep In the world there is none SC
good as what you get, in the way o
treasure.trove, after the usual tim,
Of waking, when, in point of fact, yor
have given up the expectation Of get
ting any more sleep. As ior 'beins

ancestors. I should quarrel will

A VERY mysterious crime Is e.oq in.
vestigated in Paris. A woman, called
the "Ogres,e des Liias is accused of
having made away with number of
children. Her plan was to stand at the
gate of the Fouud'ng Hospital. and to
persuade young mothers to trust her
with their children, GU the ground that
she was the confidential servant of the
Marquise de X, who had recently been
confined aud whose child had died.
The Maiqaise was not aware of her
loss. aud another child could be substi-
tdted for that which was dead A bril-
liant future would thus bs secured, and
so on. Up to the present she has OBJ
stinately refused to say what has be-
come of the children. She appears to
be the widow OF count, and has re
ceived an excellent education.
