Growing Old,

The Sunday evening cheer at Mr..
Sniley's last evening consisted of a pan
of russell apples, a pitcher of hard cider
and plate of Hannah's twisted dough-
nuts. The old couples son and wife
had been over for the day and had just
quilted the CHEEKY, old fashioned room.
Il tell We, Hannah said Ichabod, as
he stepped to the mantel and took down
his clay pipe, Its mighty comforting
to grow old and sort O. mellow at the
same time. Darn that pipe, it won't
draw at all. All, there it is, all right,
AS said. it's comforting to grow old
Eyes, Ichabod, it may be; but M not
growing old at all you see. I'm as spry
as ever / was"
ssNot hardly, Hannah, not hardly
You do very well, but when you was
young you was hummer, you was. AS
I said before, it's kinder pleasant to
grow Old
''Pshaw, there you go again. You are
the worst old sentimental coot / ever
saw. If you could only sit by the fire
and smoke your pipe and dream out
loud all day you'd be happy, but / like
to see folks stir around and be lively.
Why don't you put some wood on the
fire?''
Never mind the fire Just now. AS I
said before, it's pleasant to grow old"
But Hannah couldn't stand any more,
and she went hastily into the kitchen
and washed the potatoes for breakfast,
and cut the meat from the chicken car
cass to warm up in the morning, you
know" and by the time she returned
Ichabod was dreaming in his chair, his
silvery hair fallen over his forehead and
the freight rejecting naught but peace
in his countenance. -NeO Haven Regis

Sleep.

DIR. Lincoln, in the YOUTHS Companion
Seven hours is the well-known aver
age which suits most adults. Young
persons in their teens require eight or
nine hours; under ten, a longer time.
Students had better find by trial that
length which suits them and keep to it.
They will not succeed in winning time
for study by curtailing their hours of
sleep; the effort may be sustained by
force of will for considerable time, but
is highly dangerous.
In order to produce its legitimate re-
suit, sleep should be sound, and taken
at regular time. It is best for most
persons to get considerable portion of
the nights rest before midnight, and
this custom should be maintained if
formed, with regularity; for late rising
on the succeeding day will not make
good the fatigue which comes from oe-
casional late study on the night before.
Bad sleep is often caused by an over
loaded stomach or evertaxed brain. A
very hearty meal should not, usually, be
eaten within two hours of bedtime; for
both the sleep and the digestion are
likely to be badly performed in such a
case. And no exciting mental occupa-
tons should be engaged in at the close
of an evening. The last half-hour before
bedtime had better be given to recrea-
ton, very light reading, or walk.
Sometimes sleep is prevented by IA
tigue and hunger. A person who eats
a light tea at six and goes to bed after
an industrious evening at eleven will
often find it beneficial TO take cracker,
or glass of milk, or some other light
nourishment shortly before going to bed
There ought to be abundance of fresh
air in the sleeping-room- The windows
should be opened, even in winter, two
or three inches.

of 80. She gave some sound
| advice to the different class
es, and was loudly applauded.
She was replied to for the school by MISS
Ella Knowles, In an excellent manner. She
drew some ludricous scenes in the school
room, which created a great deal of
amusement. and giving some good advice
in return. She was also well applauded.
After the instrumental duet Matte, :"
by Wells, excellently rendered by the
Misses Nellie Anderson and Minnie Gun
nell, Mr.. w. FL, Edwards, president of the
board of education, presented the gradu-
ates with diplomas He made the presenta-
ton in an excellent manner, sketching the
success of their past life, and picturing the
new step they were to take into real life.
He concluded hoping they would always
''gather light to scatter" and would be
beneficial to mankind q
After the Evening Song" by the school,
the benediction was then pronounced by
the Rev. j. d. Smith, which concluded
the exercises.
The exercises were throughout a decided
success, owing to the efforts of Superin
tendent Mack, the educational board,
Prof. Housal and the class themselves.

Female Drummers,

All the devices of drumming up trade
throughout the country have been tried
over and over again by our metropolitan
merchants with an ingenuity and liber-
ality that have resulted in great finan-
cial gains and a booming sale of goods
each season. The travelling business,
however, has been rather overdone dur
ing the past two seasons. Every small
concern has its five or six commercial
travellers roaming through the country
now, and the novelty has quite worn off
in this branch. The drummers swarm
about the offices of merchants through
out the country in such numbers now,
and the rivalry has became so fierce,
that business men find them a great
bore, and have taken late to the heroic
policy of showing them the door and
rudely slamming it in their faces. 1t
will not take long, at this rate, to bring
the business of drumming up trade into
such disrepute, that it will be worse
than useless to engage in it at all.
So in their dilemma they are prudent
~ casting about for some means of adj
ding fuel to their fire or reviving the al
most defunct spirit of the palmy days
just after the war; when a drummer had
only to take fine quarters in first-class
hotel and get all the merchants in the
town boiling drunk, to be able to rake
in the orders for goods at the rate of a
cool couple of thousand dollars lick.
Two great firms, at least, in New York
city think they have hit upon the very
idea. They have each taken some of
their youngest, best looking and check
lest salesladies, and sent them out on
the road with samples to work up the
trade which, under the old system of
drumming. was fast slipping away from
them. The success of the ladies has
been quite phenomenal. We are inform
ed that hardly in a single instance have
they failed to secure large orders from
the recalcitrant merchants who have
gone back on the drummers of the BIZ
furcated garments. Surely the astute
tradesmen of Gotham are ahead when
it comes to the ways and means of Sc
curing and holding trade.

How Queen Victoria is Attended.
The Mistress of the Robes and Maids of Honor e
Her Majesty.

The Mistress of the Robes and Maids of Honor 70
Her Majesty.
An article in Chambers Journal says:
ssIn the Lord Chamberlain depart
ment are the Mistress of the Robes, with
a salary of 9500; the Groom of the
| Robes, with $500 (and a clerk, a mes
senger and a furrier as asSistants), and
| eight Ladies of the Bed-Chamber. The
| duties of the latter consist in waiting on
| Her Majesty for fortnight at a time in
rotation; thus each lady would be called
upon three times year for this duty.
| Following these in rank are the eight
| Maids of Honor, who represent very
| old institution in connection with royal
| ty. In 1926. shortly after his marriage
| with Henrietta, of France, Charles l. is
sued the following rules for the guidance
of the Maids: The Queens Maids OF
Honor are to come into the Presence
Chamber before II of the clock, and to
go to prayers; and after prayers to at
tend until the Queen be set at dinner.
Again, at o'clock to return into the
said chamber, and there to remain until
supper-time. And when they shall be
retired into their chamber, they admit of
no man to come there, and that they go
not at any time out of the court without
leave asked of the Lord Chamberlain or
Her Majesty, and that the Mother of the
Maids see all these orders concerning the
Maids duly observed, as she will answer
to the contrary Nowadays, the Queens
Maids of Honor do not have such re-
strictions placed on their liberty, and
merely take their turn, two at a time
for one month, to attend ON Her Males
ty. After these in rank stand the eight
Bedchamber Women. who serve in rota-
ton in the same manner, and are only
expected to figure on State occasions.
Henrietta, Duchess of Suffolk, in one of
her letters, gives an interesting account
of the duties of these s.women" in her
time 'sThe Bedchamber Women came
into waiting before the Queens prayers,
which was before she was dressed. The
Queen often shifted in n morning. If
Her Majesty shifted at noon, the Bed
chamber Lady being by, the Bedcham-
Der Woman gave the shift to the Lady
without any ceremony, and the Lady
put it on Sometimes, likewise, the
Bedehamber Woman gave the fan to the
Lady in the same manner; and this was
all that the Bedchamber Lady did about
the Queen when she was dressing. When
the Queen washed her hands, the Page
of the Back Stairs brought and set down
on the Sltte-IaUfS Lie DfolH sbAiu ON<l'
Then the Bedchamber Woman set it be-
fore the Queen, and knelt on the other
side of the table over againstthe Queen,
the Bedchamber Lady only looking on.
The Bedchamber Woman poured the
water out of the ever upon the Queen s
hands. The Bedchamber Woman pulled
on the Queens gloves when she could
not do it herself. The Page of the Back
Stairs was called in to put on the
Queens shoes, etc" All this is now OBJ
solete; the situations are quite honorary
SO far as work is concerned.

THE GRADUATING EXERCISES

The exercises of the graduating class OF
this year took place in the High school
rooms yesterday afternoon. The room was
nicely decorated with festoons, and wreaths
of evergreens were suspended from the
walls in a neat manner. The platform was
neatly decorated with flowers and other
ornaments The bust of Sir Walter Scott
the present of the class of 81, and that of
John Milton, presented by the class of 'S2,
were conspicuous on the walls opposite the
platform. At $50 O'Clock the room was
well filled with mostly ladies, and some
few gentlemen.
The platform was occupied by Messrs
Ball, Edwards and Grover, the board of
G. L. Morgan, Superintendent Mack, and
the graduating class. The exercises were
opened by a song by the school, entitled
praise Him." which was led by Prof.
Housal, and accompanied on the piano by
Miss Minnie Gunnell, and was well rem
dered.
The Rev. G. L. Morgan then prayed,
after which the school sang the song
april
Miss Minnie G. Buchho1tz then read her
essay, entitled 1--WE Gather Light to Scat
ter" which was indeed a mastery effort.
She spoke in clear, distinct voice, and
seemed to be at home in her subject. She
alluded to some of the sayings of our dead
president, James A. Garfield, and the light
he gathered in his school days to scatter in
after years. From study we obtain light
which grows brighter and brighter. 1t is
selfish to keep wisdom; we should scatter
the light we have gathered for the benefit
of those who are in darkness. The light
that great men scatter shines after them
long after they are dead. Her essay
showed long and careful study of the top
ic, and the result of her labor was truly a
splendid one.
An instrumental solo, Sonata" by
Beethoven, was then given by Miss Nellie
Anderson, and was well rendered
Mr.. Ben B. Tyrrell delivered his Grafton,
History" after the music. He re-
viewed ancient history. described
its classes, and compared it
with modern history, and how it was now
written. He advocated the study of his
tory, and stated how it should be studied.
His Grafton proved itself to be the result of
careful study and good memory. He was
presented some neat bouquets by his
friends
The school then sang another song, en-
titled after RAIN" after which Miss Flor
ence III. Shields read a well written essay,
entitled Legends" She handled her sub
ject carefully, reviewing the superstition of
the early ages, and claimed that early his
tory was based on legends, which were
handed down from generations to genera
lions, and thus became history. She re-
seived many floral gifts from her friends,
rs tribute of their esteem.
The song entitled The Mountain Shep-
lerd's Song, was next sang by the school,
ind was indeed fine, showing careful train
ng by Prof. Housal, and was well applaud
d. Miss Minnie L. BuckhoI tz then, in a
1ery neat an appropriate speech, presented
be bust of John Milton. the English poet,

CIVIL CASES.

Benz. Conwell, Belgian, had VIM. H.
Chase arraigned before Magistrate Mapes
yesterday. The difficulty was about three
dollars which the plaintiff claimed the
defendant owed him. Mr.. Hill appeared
for the plaintiff and Lewis for the defend
ant. The magistrate dismissed the ca Sc al
the plaintiffs costs, whe gave notice of ap
peal.
There was lively civil suit between
VIM. Bishop as plaintiff and VIM. H
Chase as defendant, before Magistrate
Mapes yesterday afternoon. 1t appeared
that Bishop claimed $21.00 for extra worl
that he had put in while building the walls
of cellar for Chase. A jury was impan
nelled, which after hearing the evidence,
returned the verdict of mo cause fol
action
