Antietam From The Ridge.

The ridge at the foot of which lay
Fitz John Porter's corps in reserve was
bare of vegetation save short sheep-grass,
and its easy slope was ample enough to
show q broad margin on all sides of q
square Of 10, 1000 men that moved over
it about sunrise Of the morning at An
tietam.
On the top the 80 Founders were
placed in battery, which was OCCASION
ally used during the day, and from here
the eyes took in abroad sweepo Of broken
and hilly country; an undulating corn
field to the left front; low untitled
ground on the right-front, beyond which
the ground assembled by swells to q high
hill side crowned with woods. Directly
in front the abrupt hills were tossed in
a confused mass partly COW
cred with clumps of trees and thick un-
d~ergrowth. TO the right and rear q
succession Of hills ran down to the
horizon, and upon one Of these are sta
toned Mcclellan and his aids. To the
left thick woods screened the defle
through which ran Antietam Greek. AT
the base of the ridge in the rear the
pike swept around to the little stone
bridge, over which Burnside pushed the
9th corps to death and comparative de-
feat.

There are physiological reasons for
believing hat a normally healthy per-
son should sleep after every hearty
meal. Digestion requires a determin-
alton of blood to the stomach so as to
stimulate the machinery by which the
food is assimilated in the system. Hence
all through the brute creation sleep fol-
lows the taking of food. The ~siesta, or
the nap otter dinner, which is the GUS
tom among the well-to-do in all hot
countries, is a sensible and healthful
practice. 1t is true that people who
partake of their principal meal
between daylight and dark, and who do
not usually eat before going to bed, are
often disturbed in their sleep when they
take q late supper, but this is because
they have broken In upon a habit. The
stomach and all its related organs re-
bel at unexpected demands upon them.
A habit OF late eating once established
tends rather to help sleep, for the blood
is withdrawn from the brain by the de-
mands of the digestive department ofthe
system. One Of the cures for dyspep-
STA is in forming the habit Of sleeping
after partaking Of the principal meal of
the day. 1t has been given the uncouth
term Of the @hog cure for gastric dis
turbances.

Hate In her heart; love in her eyes.
The pride of q great lady with a sordid

Unsubmissiye, idle, passionate. Ambi-

herself with a pearl. Her voice, which
has discords when she speaks, becomes
harmonious when she sings. She al

The Boy was All Right.

A clothing dealer down on Jefferson ave-
nue. was dancing around the door Of his
store in great rage yesterday, when an ac-
quaintance halted and asked him the cause
of his excitement.
"vhy, dot new poy of mine sells man a
hat for a dollar dot vhas marked twelve
shillings."
"And you lose fifty cents?"
"Feefty cents! discharge dot poy so
queek his head doan' hat time to shwin"
In the course of an hour the pedestria
was repassing the store, and seeing the man
at the door with a smile on his face, he
asked:
"Well, did you discharge the boy ?"
"Dot poy vhas all right, sir! When |

What Is Zero :.
s.. louis GLobe.Democrat.


Perhaps not one in one hundred can tell
ofi.hand why point thirty-two degrees be-
low the freezing point on Fahrenheits Their
mometer is called zero. For that matter,
nobody knows. The Fahrenheit scale was
introduced in 1920. Like other thermonre-
trio scales it has two fixed points, the freez-
ing point, or rather the melting point of ice,
and the boiling point of water. The Cent?
grade and Reaumur scales call the freezing
point zero, and measure therefrom in both
directions. This is a very natural arrange
ment. Fahrenheit kept the principle on
which he graduated his thermometer a Sc
cret, and no one has ever dis. overed 1t. 1t
is supposed, however, that he considered his
zero--thirty.two degrees below freezing
the point of absolute cold or absence of all
heat, either because, being about the tenn
perature of melting salt aud snow, it was the
greatest degree of cold that he could pro-
duce artifcially, or because 1t was the lowest
natural temperature of which he could find
any record. The grounds on which Fahren-
het pat $50 degrees between the freezing
and boiling points are likewise unknown.

The following from the London Truth OF
the 10th inst. Is commended TO the gentle
men in Congress who are trying TO split the
oars of the country with their talk on the
Fitz John Porter case, Southern outrages
and other things. IL is as true OF debates In
Congress as of the parliamentary debates:
"This want Of power of condensation Is
really al the bottom Of two-thrds of the
time which 10 wasted during parliamentary
session. A member gets up in a debate.
Possibly he may be able TO add useful five
minutes TO il this, however, does not con-
tent him. lie YEARLY travels over what has
been said and resad dozen times, urges
arguments that have been already repeated
dd nduSedHt, controverts others that have
been replied to, and not unfrequently INDUCES

very ABC. Then he complains that this

illusion that he is helping on legislation.
There are many members Of Parliament
who have innumerable virtues, who are pub.
lie spirited, honest and hard working. They
have but one fault, and this outweighs all
their virtues. They are insufierable bores,
and, by some curious law Of nature, the
greater bores they are. the less are they
aware Of the fact. If these members would
kindly confne their speeches to five or ten
minutes, they would be listened to, they
would be reported and they would confer an
inestimable favor on their long-sufiering fell
low members. Condensation ought to be
the soul of parliamentary oratory. Unfor'
tunately, RESPONSIVENESS too often takes Its
place."

Few people know that the original Decla-
ration of Independence is kept In the
library of the State Department. 1t is in a
cherry case and under glass. But the doors
are thrown open all day long and strong
rays of light are eating up its Ink day by
day. The Constitution is written on parch'

copper-plate, and the Ink OF this part can
still plainly be read The signatures, how
ever, are written in different ink, and they
are very fast disappearing under the action OF
the light, The bold signature of John A.
Hancock is faded almost entirely out. Only
a J, o, h and All ii remain. Two lines OF
names are entirely removed from the paper
not a vestige of ink remains TO show that
names were ever there. Ben Eranklin's
name is entirely gone. Roger Sherman's
name is fast fading. could not fad the
name of Thomas jefferson, and Elbridge
Gerry has lost its last syllable. Robert Car
roll and John Adams have been secured

croscope.
Just below the Constitution lies the origi'
nal OF It In JeHIerson's handwriting. II Is on
foolscap paper, yellow with age, aud worn
through where the manuscript has been
folded. The writing is fine and close, and
the whole Constitution occupies but two
pages. The ink Is good, and 1t remains as
fresh as when 1t left the quill Of Jefferson

erasures and interim cations, some of which
