| the quill distinctly visible. Some were
broad and fiat, with notches at the end;
others were tapered and notified with
spots, and apparently had a little tutt
of bristIes at the end, and they were all
| beautiful. The dust from a r1ott
looked more like a folded umbrella
without a handle, but very brilliant IN
color. "Here is a traverse section OF
the human scalp. Those small pin
points are the hair cells, and those VEIN
like looking lines show the course OF the
hair under the scalp. That
is magfned seyenty-fye diameters.
Imagine q man seventy-tiye times larger
than your ordinary fellow citizen.
What a Gargantua he would be, over
400 feet high, and built III proportion.
His head would be as big as a two-story
house, and his eyes world look like i'm
mense show-windows. And yet this is
among the lower powers of the m1cros-
cope. When you get up into the hun
dreds, intinitesimals begin to look like
mountains. Examine this sand from
Highland Park. To the touch it is quite
gritty. See what a beautiful smooth
marble every grain is. Now look at
this. 1t is the eve of a fly. 1t looks
Nike a sieve, and is about the size of a
half dollar. Every one of those little
holes in the sieve is an eye. There are
six or seven thousand of them. The
dragon fly has 10000.
And so, with a long list of specimens
of every variety did the scientist lead
the reporter on a pleasant journey
through the unseen world. Kindly dis
posed people are often perplexed to
know what sort of a present they should
make to their young fayorits. There is
nothing in the whole world round of
gifts that will afford to young people so
much instruction and such endless
amusement as a microscope.

The Friendship of Children.

Again and again, as one observes the
influence Of an infant oyer strong men,
he quotes the prophets words to
himself: "a little child shall lead
theml"
A strong man, lying face to face with
death, bore the last parting from broth
er and sister with strange s~elf-control,
for he hoped to see them again But
when a little child was brought to his
bedside, who, though not his own, had
entwined itself about his heart, he broke
down. The thought that he would
never see that child again as q child,
unnamed him.
Lord Lawrence, Viceroy of India, was
q blunt nan Of aGtiQn, impatient Of con-
tradiction, and thoroughly self reliant.
Yet, like many of the truly great, he had
the heart of a woman.
Tho night on which he started from
London to govern India, he gathered his
family in the drawing-room, and made
each child say a hymn to him. His
Youngest, a son of ten nestled in the
fathers arms.
II shall never see BERTHE again r said
the strong man, suddenly, and burst in
to tears.
1t was not Of the hardships before
him, or of his own death, he thought,
but of the fact that BERTHE would not be
a child to him on his return.

infant child. She utterly neglected the
baby, which revenged itself by crying
day and night.
The passengers complained in lam
guage more forcible than polite.
Steward, throw that baby over
boardIs was petulantly shouted, again
and again, from sleepless births.
AT last Lord Lawrence, seeing that
the child was left motherless byits own
mother, took it on his knee.
For hours he would hold it, showing
it his watch and anything that would
amuse it. The child took to the great
strong man and was always quiet wher
he held it.
why do you, my lord, " asked n Of
fine relieved passengers, surprised to set
the Governor General Of India playing
nurse to q crying baby, why do you
take such notice of that child?"
Because, to tell You the truth, = an.
swered Lord Lawrence, loosely and

prunkennesp Among women.

From the American RefoTmer,
At the recent conference Of the New
York state w. G. 7. o., held in this
city, one of the ladies, referring to the
use of alcoholic liquors by women, quot
ed a physician of her experience assay
ing that he now has six cases OF deliri-
UNI tremens among women in his prac-
tice, and also made reference to a para
graph which is given place in various
papers to the effect that many fashion
able ladies of New York, supposed to
be abroad for pleasure, are really in an
inebriate asylum because of their over
mastering appetite for strong drink.
The very next day after we heard this
public testimony, so painful to all, we
read, in the telegraph dispatches of a
wealthy Boston widow, who, hay-
ing taken board at a hotel in
this city, was robbed of her diamonds
and money, and accused the elevator
attendant and a hallboy of the theft,
The dispatch further said "Investiga-
ton showed that Mrs. Brenn, who in
other respects is a very poper person,
has an unfortunate liking for Cham
payne. On Wednesday, after return
ing to the hotel from visiting friends,
she drank ten bottles of beer, and four
quart and one pint bottle of pommery
champagne, and about 10 o'clock that
night q hall-boy named Phillips and
the hotel barber named Frazier were
stupidity drunk in her room, Mrs. Brenn
was also in a state of oblivion yester'
day"
We have more than once seen vel
dressed women in this city, evidently
not of the demi monde, so intoxicated
that they could not walk straight upon
the street. It is a common thing here
and in the smaller provincial cities, for
ladies to go unattended into restaurants
and ice cream arlors, and call for beer,
and there drink it as a matter of-course.
It is thought one of the necessities of a
grocer's business, in some of the smaller
towns referred to, that beer be kept or
tap and dealt out by the glass to certain
fashionable women when they give then
daily orders; and an eXcus is made
that these women must be so treated
or the grocer would lose their trade,
Whence do these awful facts lean
These in many instances are
mothers; and we saw one of them once
ON the street of an inland town at earl
evening, staggering uncertainty home
ward, but often stopping to turn back
her h~essitating footsteps led by a pretty
girl of seven or eight years, who wep
bitterly as they went on, and who plead
ed ~pitteously that hermother would no
go and drink again, but would let he
lead her home. Said a friend of our
once, with whom we spoke of these
things: ''Thore are scores OF children
less than n year old, in this very cit.
where we live, who eve drew a sobe.
breath" 1t was an appalling declara
ton, because it implied so much. Wha
made them drink? How shall they b
redeemed?

WATERLOO.


nous Battle-held.
A BufEaleniaa Abroad
The battlefield Of Waterloo az 4
lies to-day is an u~ninspiring spectacle
a good place to sit down md muse on
life and men and the vanity OF human
things; but we had a vivacious little
guide who spared no time for musing
but engaged us with a very dramatic
recital in broken, though quite inteIli-
gible, English of the stirring things
that happened on that bloody Sraday
in 1916, when Bonaparte's brief candle
went out and the European Kaleidoscope
ratified itself into a fresh combination.
l can't help sympathizing with the bot
tom dog. The dramatic symmetry Of
Napoleon's career wins us against our
reason.
/ went out to Waterloo with some
Englishmen, and / took solid comfort
in giving them my small opinion Of
their Iron Duke, although We must all
low that he did this business very hand
somely.
But that guide. / shall not soon for
get him. He made more of an impress
sion on me than all the books | have
read on the subject of Waterloo. He
omitted nothing. He opened his soul
to us, and he suited the action to the
world. He ~gesticulated, he attitude
nized, in short, he fought the battle
over again for us. His English was
doubly English. He was especially
happy in his ''hup, guards, hand hat
hem!" He recited this thrilling Incl
dent over his shoulder as he led us down
the two hundred and odd steps that
mount to the summit of Mound Of the
Lion, and it was only by the most ok
traordinary presence of mind that (
grasped the railing in time to escape a
fall.
The Mound of the Lion is an artificial
elevation which has heen reared very
Al-advisedly, l think in the midst Of
the field and Of its earth, thereby mods
fyingthe configuration of the landscape,
so that one can now gain so accurate al
idea Of the battle-ground as might 9TH
erwise have been obtained-unless in
deed, the loss is compensated by the
fact that the summit of the mound af-
fords a commanding view.
The tranquility of the scene is i'm
pressive, and one is reminded of Byron's
line:
"How that red rain made the harvests grow!"
/ never saw q fairer stretch of
try-hills and valleys and winding roads
and shining villages. Every feature OF
this sweet landscape playedits part in the
drama Of that day. On the rights the
Chateau of Hougomont, against which,
all day long, the French lines beat like
the waves Of the seattle key OF the
English position, held to the last by the
gallant Coldstreams Guards, though
the house was burned over their heads.
The old brick wall around the orchard
still stands pierced with loop-holes.
worn away by the pelting rain OF mus
ket balls. If you have any sort OF I'M
agination you can stand there to-day
and see the fight. / suppose there has
scarcely been a closer, hotter, bloodler
battle in modern times. The lines were
posted only a mile apart, and from the
moment of the first assault upon Hougo-
mont to the low despairing cry OF the
French General, "Tout est perdul
Sauve qui peutl" the battle was like
the straining struggle Of we'll matched
wrestiers.
