How Childran Grow.

A table prepared by French savant
gives the following data on the growth
of children: During the first year after
birth the growth in stature is about sew
en- and half inches; from two to three
it is four to FIVE; from three to four an
inch and 3 half; from four to six, two
and a quarter inches annually; from

The Music of the Future.

Richard Wagner is dead. He was
undoubtedly the greatest composer of
modern times. He was probably the
most original genius who ever married
music to words. According to Wagner,
the composer should also write the lib
retto. No mere playwriter, he said,
could interpret the inspiration of the
musician, while the latter, of course,
could not degrade himself by giving
musical forms to the inventions of the
opera story-teller. Wagner reformed
the opera. He preferred harmony to
melody. Indeed in his latter works
there is very little that suggests tune
There is world of weird and wonder
full sounds by which he interpreted
emotion, but mere melody was absent.
Wagner is greatly indebted to the half
mad King of Bavaria, whose purse has
been at the disposal of the great COM
poser. The latter has been able to pro-
duce his operas without regard to cost;
and the musical world has been the
gamer by this marriage of madness and
music.-DemoreSt' $ Monthly for Aprtl

A Rural Marriage Notice.

The following refreshing marriage no
tice of parties recently united in we'd
lock in village of New York State is
too utterly different from the most OF
these modern illusions. 1t is not quite
as aesthetic as some marriage notices
we have seen, nor as would meet Oscar
Wilds notion of sunfower gilt-edged
astheticism: Reuben johnson, long,
lean, lank, sorrel-complexioned native
of Toad Harbor, was married to Miss
Martha johnson. aged fifteen years, a
resident on the other side of the lake, at
the Globe Hotel, in this village, Tuesday
night, about o'clock, the ceremony
being performed by his Honor Red
Morse. The Justice swore the girl to
the effect that she was fifteen years old,
end well qualified by the consent of hei
parents to be united to said Reuben
johnson. After the ceremony the
pleased bridegroom made dive for his
pocket, and fished out trade dollar,
which, with a castor-oil smile, he hand
ed TO the man of law, and the party then
dispersed

Deep drains are best because they Sc
cure the slow percolation of the water,
giving the subsoil a chance to take up
or absorb the nutritive properties which
in the other case would 90 directly into
the drain and be lost. The drain first
carries off the cold water of the subsoil,
and the warmer surplus moisture from
above taking its place, warns the land,
and hence offers a larger area for the
roots of the crops to amplify, and thus
gather up greater stores of plant food.

This case is formed in one solid piece
without Joint or seam, opening in front
onLp, thus avoiding the usual Cap. and
securing greater strength and durability.
These watches are I'LL open face. The
bezel, into which ali extra strong crystal
is fitted with an especially prepared water
proof cement, is attached to the case by
screw;ng it thereon, and thus forms an
air tight Junction with the body of the
case, which IS proof against dust and
moisture.
To railroad men, travellers, miners,
lumbermen and others who are almost
constantly exposed and who have to make
frequent reference to the watch, these
qualities are of the utmost Importance.
