With regard TO the rule given in The
Magazine Of american History for finding
the day of the week for any date, you re-
mark "This rule brings out the correct
answer generally; but it failed TO do so in
the case of July 4. 177G." Now, unless
you know all the exceptions to a rule, the
rule is of no practical value. The very
case you are calculating may be an excep-
ton, and the rule that is only generally
correct is not worth a farthing. But with
regard to July 4. 177G, think you have
evidently made the mistake of not taking
into consideration that in the year 177G
February had twenty-ulne days. Hence we

On a railway traiI, Just behind
plainly-d,e sci, lnoEhcrly-looking wom-
an, accom-, ari,d by noisy boy, sat
two Acknowledgment ladies'. The
boy WAS given to asking all kinds of
foolish Gues ions, and occasionally he
would whine iik,. cub bear and twist
himself around and fret.
If | had hold of him for a minute
I'd blister him till he couldn't stand
up" said one of the ladies.
Here theI," replied the motherly
old lady, "you may take hold of him.
If you want to slap him, slap him. I
haven't the heart to do it."
Excuse me-" faltered the annoyed
lady. Il did not think that you could
hear my remark"
"Oh, no harm done, for I know that
he is enough to annoy any one, and it
may seem strange to you that I do not
slap him, but I can't. Once 1 had
little boy that / slapped. Every time
he would ask foolish questions or whine
I'd slap him. / was determined to
bring him up rightly, so that he would
please everybody. He was the idol Of
my life, and / did so much want to see
him respected. Everybody said that 1
was model mother, and that my son
would be q great man, and was so
tiattered by these remarks that / was
even more strict than ever with him.
! One night just after l put him to bed
company came, and while we were
talking the little fellow awoke and be-
gan to cry. I told him to hush, and
when found that he did not intend to
obey me, I went to the bed and
spanked him. That's what call dis
ciPline,' one of the company remarked,
and L assure you that in after years
you will not regret the strict measures
which you have adopted
The next morning my little boy was
too sick to get up, and all day he lay in
bed. At night sent for physician,
but before morning he was dead. I
don't think that there was. a moro
miserable woman III the world. l took
| his little boots-boots which a few
days before I had whipped him for

! bureau. / could not bear to live in the
same house where both my husband
and little boy had died, and moved
away. One evening while walking
along Il lonely street, l saw little boy
"A very small boy-standing among
some tall weeds. I asked him where
he lived and he plucked q blossom and
held it out to me- l asked him where
was his mother and father, and, with
/ curious intelligence, he replied that
| some big men took them away in boxes.
