DEATH OF AN ocroeENAR1AN.
Brief Sketch OF the Life OF DIR. Leonar'
ID. GnIe-His Scientific Attachments an'
Research.

Brief sketch OF the Life OF DIR. Leonard
ID. Gnle-IIis Scientific Attachments and
Research.
Dr. Leonard ID. Gale, an old and respected
citizen of Washington, we'll known for his
scientific attanments, died at his residence
in this city on the twenty-second instant.
DR.. Gale was born at Sutton, now Millbury,
Mass, July 25, 1900. He was educated at
Brown university and Union college, gradu-
ating from tho latter in 1925. He received
the degree of NJ. ID. from the College Of
Physicians and Surgeons in New York in
1880, and in 1882 was resident physician in
one of the cholera hospitals during the preva-
lence of the epidemic in that city.
DIR. Gales natural bent was toward scien-
tifc pursuits, and before graduating in medi-
cine he delivered lectures on natural sciences.
After graduation he was employed for twelve
years as professor of chemistry in various in
stitutons, among them the university of the
city of New York, of which Prof. S. +. b.
Morse was at that time professor of art and
literature Prof. Morse was then expert
menting with the telegraph, but found him
self at standstill by reason of his inability
to send o message moro than a few feet. In
this dilemma he applied TO his fellow pro-
fessor, Dr. Gale, the first person save his own
brothers to whom he had shown the new
machine. The discoveries of Prof. Henry in
electricity were unknown to Morse, though
familiar to DIR. Gale, who had already applied
| them to his own electrical apparatus. To this
| apparatus he attached Morse's machine by
some 400 feet of wire. The message rushed
with full force through the whole extent of
the wire, and the electric telegraph becam c
an assured success.
| In 1888 DIR. Gale made geological survey
of the island of New York, and in 1887 pub.
lished chemistry for schools, which was well
received. In 1S43 he assisted Prof Morse in
laying the wires for the first electric tele'
graph between Washington and Baltimore
| In 1916 he was appointed an examiner in the
patent office and removed to this city, where
| he has since resided. He was made a princi
pal examiner in 1Si9, having charge of the
department Of chemistry. This position HI
held till 1857, when he was removed from
office by President Buchanan on account o
his pronounced republicanism. He wa
afterward, for many years, engaged in tn
practice of patent law in this city. He wa
for a long time one of the trustees OF tn
Columbia university of this city. A quiet
unassuming man, of great inform alton ant
industry, genial manners, and noble Christian
character, his death will be regretted by
large circle of friends.
His funeral took place yesterday Afternoon
at o'clock from the Congregational church
and was largely attended. Rev. DR.. Rankii
ofiiciated. The pallbearers were Messrs. N
b. Bartlett, S. Gilpin, A. ID. Burr, DIR. ID, S
Lamb, DIR. Thomas Antisell, and DR.. w. NJ
New. The interment was at Congressiona
cemetery.

PROPOSALS OF MARRIAGE.
Many Curious Facts Regarding the Various
Customs in Different Countries.

You will find no end of curious things
written about the marriage proposals,
says writer in Demorest's Monthly, if
you search for that purpose. For in
stance-that eccentric classical charac-
acter, who goes into the kitchen of a
neighbor some morning and, finding the
object of his regard at the wash-tub,
proposes bluntly then and there. In
stead of emptying its contents upon him
she as bluntly accepts his proposal
There is the bashful suppliant who turns
down some leaf about a passage-usual-
ly sacred one-which tells his story
for him, and the answer is returned in
similar fashion. There is the proposal
at n ball or dinner by slip of paper
sent across the room or table, and there
is the one in which the reply is asked in
the form of some specified and under
stood signal. In some book that Ihave
read, an English gentleman who had
several eligible daughters wondered, af-
ter waiting some years for some such
event, why no one of them, noteven the
prettiest, got proposal. When he in
vestigated the matter thoroughly he
found that the failure arose from an
architectural blunder The rooms Of
his house were so connected together by
a series of open doors and spacious mir
rors that the question could not be put
without exposing it to almost as much
specularity as it would obtain on pub
lie thoroughfare.
1t is quite common for very young la
dies to say that their first serious inter-
est in any young gentleman is aroused
by his previous interest in them-con-
Tossing, in other words, that they have
no original feeling in the matter. They
would not, probably, like to say, what
amounts to about the same thing, that
one gentleman is as likeable or as agree
able to them as another, though they
must constantly act as if it were so, I'M
til some particular gentleman breaks
the spell and gives them permission to
say otherwise. But, what if the right
eous one should never break the spell as
often happensp Or what, if neither the
right one nor the wrong one does, and
no opportunity ever comes? AS the sys-
tenn is now arranged this is not at all a
rare circumstance, nor is the lady less
worthy, necessarily, than her different
more worthy, but may have lived more
quietly, or may be deficient simply in
that peculiar art of fascinating, which
even silence cannot prevent from being
powerful.
One of the worst features of this I'M
mitigated silence, which is imposed up
on one sex alone, is the insincerity and
hypocrisy which it not only inculcates,
but places n premium upon. Nothing
irritates woman SO much as to have
any ground given for q suggestion that
she has gone step out of her way to
secure a gentleman's interest or atten-
ton. She would rather be won by a
peasant than move the least bit aggres-
sively to win prince. Her natural
feelings are smothered and suppressed
and she accepts the artifice which she
must put ON, as If it were both reasona-
hla an1 natural

what if the money is expended and sunk
hoplessly in such u way that the capital

may spend $175 an acre upon piece of
land and get 10 per cent. interest returned
for year or two. Deep blowing and
cultivation will not keep land fertile for
ever. In fact, it only the more rapidly
exhanststs it. and in few years the latter
state of the land is worse than the first.

About Canary Birds.

The cost of keeping canary birds Is
seldom thought of. The canary is the
pet bird of the rich and poor; it is ev-
erywhere, and its keeping involves an
immense amount of money in the ag-
gregate. A gentleman who has for
several years been extensively engaged
in the trade of bird-seed, and who is
excellent authority, informs us that he
has the statistics to prove that there
are now fully 100000 of these pets
in this country. Each bird will use
twelve pounds of seed per year, if not
overfed, and unfortunately for them,
they generally get too much Thus it
takes 16S, 100000 pounds of seed to feed
them through year, worth at least
Sl4,OOO,000. Besides this seed, as any
one knows, is the sugar, the crackers,
the. eggs and the thousand and one
things that different keepers supply
them with.
Again, we have IL great expense in
cages. There arenow twenty-five man.
ufactories of bird cages in the United
States. One of the most extensive OF
them turned out $1,000,O00 worth OF
cages last year, and will this year add
largely to the amount. The whole cost
of cages made last year is estimated at
nearly $3,000,000. This gives for the
two items of seed and cages the snug
little sum of ST., 200, 600.
But, after all, is the bird not worth
all the people pay for its keepingP How
it instills into the children love of mu.
sic; and its examples of cleanliness as it
takes its regular morning bath is bene.

A Dangerous Experiment in New York

A humorous affair took place few
days ago in a neighboring village, says
the Troy Press. A young man and a
woman in sportive mood contracted a
marriage in fun. The young man said,
"Will you marry mep Now or neverp"
The young lady said, Eyes, if you will
throw away your pipe" He then threw
away his pipe and clasped her in his
arms and pronounced the marriage con-
summated. The party separated with
much laughter on all sides, but young
lawyer friend seems TO have the best of
the young man, and declares them
married without recourse, and reads in
afiirmance of his decision Haynes vs.

tries TO laugh
