Of historical lectures, which she delivered
that season As she devoted herself to her
aged mother, she was unable to leave Hol-
land Patent to pursue her work continuous
ly until after her mothers death in the
summer of 1852.
After this sad event her brothers and sis
tiers naturally expected that she would
make her home with one of them, but being

she preferred to remain in the old home,

Miss Cleveland will remain in the White

MISS ROSE E. CLEVELAND.
The Presidents Sister and Present Mis-

The Presidents Sister and Present Mis-
tress of the White House.
Rose Elizabeth Cleveland was the young
est OF nine children born to Richard and
Anna Cleveland. Her native home was
Fayetteville, n. Y, from whence her
parents removed to Clinton when she was a
little girl, and later to Holland Patent, a
little hamlet near Utica where her father
took charge Of the Presbyterian Church in
1853. Her father died in that year, leaving
little Rose an orphan at the age of seven.
The parsonage had to be given up, and the
education of Rose became the mothers life
thought and labor In later years she was
sent to HOughtOn Seminary, where She
proved brilliant pupil graduating with the
highest hOnors. 'Original People was
the theme of her graduating essay, her
audience pronouncing it most happy eff
fort. Miss hose then became teacher in
the HOughton Seminary, when after re-
naming in that position two years, she
went to Lafayette, Ind, as principal of the
Collegiate Institute in that town.
She afterward taught in Pennsylvania at
a private school for a short time and then
conceived the idea OF lecturing before

age may be of some little use in compress
ing certain blood vessels and thus lessen
ing the drain of blood from the brain. In
deed, there is little doubt that were a man
to tie rope so tightly about his neck as to
stop the flow of blood in the veins of the
neck he would not be SeaSck, although it
is true that he would die of strangulatiOn
and asphyXia-a fact that to the minds of
some physicians would be an argument
against the general use of the remedy.
The proper treatment for SeaSickneSS is
simply to stand the patient on his head.
This would etfectually prevent any undue
flow of iblood from the brain, and would
thus render seasickness impossible 1t is
not necessary that the treatment should be
kept up for any great length of time.
Twenty-fOur hours in ordinary cases would
be sufficient, for by the end of that time
the patient would probably become accus-
toned to the motion of the ship and his
brain would adapt itself to the new cOndi-
tiOnS.
Steamship companies ought to provide
facilities for the proper treatment of sea-
sick passengers. When the number of pas
Sengers is small they could be seized up by
the feet to the mzzen stay before the ship
reaches Sandy Hook, but on board most Of
our large passenger ships ii would be found
necessary to provide stout spars to be
placed fore and aft at an elevation of, say,
twenty feet above the deck.

Nhlie riding with friend through a
town In Lincoln County not long ago,
we came upon small shop curiously
decorated with waves Of paint of
different colors. The front looked as
though the occupant of the shop, when
ever he wished TO test a newly mixed
color dipped his brush into it and then
| wiped the brush on the outside of the
pulidlng In this way or some other he
hau produced rude rainbow, the hues
dissolylng into each other where one
brushtul of paint encroached upon the
margin of its predecessor.
That is an undertaker's shop said
my friend, land those are the colors in
winch he paints his collins. He splashes
those samples on the outside of the
building in order that he may see how
they look himself, and also that the
friends of the departed may pick out
the color they want"
"What!'
''Yes. Nearly all the people in this
town who have died during the past ten
years have been buried in colored
collins. Light blue is the favorite tint
here Tor children, and orange the pre-
yailing shade for old people. You see
this is one of the most retired villages in
the State and he is the only undertaken
%nyWREre near here. The people have
got used to his notions, and now they
rather like the painted collins. One old
fellow got disguised and took solemn
! oath that this undertaken should never
make coffin for him. So he drove tl.
Augusta, while he was vet in the land of
the living, and had himself measured
for nice coffin. The coffin was made
and he carried it home. He tried his
best to induce his wife to have her coffin
made, too. She said it was ridiculous
the idea of having your coffin made
before you were dead! and plumply re-
fused to be measured. This made the
old man so mad that he threatened to
sue for divorce, and he and the old
lady had many jar after that. although
they had previously lived in peace and
content.
The old man put his coffin in the
barn and used it to keep his yellow eyed
beans in. In the course of time he died
and was prepared for the grave. The
! yellow-eyed beans were turned out of
the coffin, and an attempt was made to
put the old gentleman into it. They
found that his body had swollen so much
that it could not be squeezed into the
coffin. They had to patronize that UNI
dertaker, in spite of the enmitv existing
| hot 4 -, I
They tried to get him to swap one OF
his collins for the old gentIeman's Au-
gusta purchase, but this the undertaken
positively refused to do, and insisted
upon being paid cash down for the
coffin.
Il think this is another good illustra-
ton of how the best laid plans of mice
and men come to grief, and of the folly
of thinking your head is bigger than
your wife's. "-LeWjston me. J JourNul.

ION Approval"

In Germany, says the AcadcmY, it is
the custom for booksellers to send to
their customers parcels OF new books
"on approval, - it being understood that
the books not returned are accepted,
and will be paid for. Relying upon this
custom, D bookseller at Worms con-
tinued year after year to send books to
Il person living in the town. None of
the books were returned and none were
paid tor. At last the bookseller sent in
his bill, which the other party declined
to pay, but offered to return the books
This did not suit the bookseller, for the
publishers would no longer take the
books back from him. Accordingly he
brought his action for the price; but he
has been defeated in the Court of First
Instance, and also on appeal, on the
ground, apparently, that there was no
contract.

WEBSTER.


Hitherto Unpublished Anecdotc of the
Great Expounder.
Here is an anecdote of Webster, told
by the late Colonel Munford, who was
at one time Secretary of the Virginia
Commonwealth, and never published
Colonel Munford was in his Office at the
State House one day when a distn-
guished-looking man, accompanied by a
young lady, came in, and asked if they
could see the legislative chambers.
Colonel Munford at once recognized,
from portraits that he had seen, the face
of Webster, and wishing to see as much
OF the great statesman as possible, Of
tered to accompany him through the
state House. The young lady seemed
to be relative of Webster. and was very
bright and piIuant in her conversation
There was constant fire of clever re-
partce between the two. and when the
party reached the Senate Chamber the
young lady, turning to him, exclaimed:
"Now, everybody says you are a great
man and can make Il speech without
any preparation. l want you to prove
1t. AS she said this she moved to the
rostrum and took possession of hePres-
ident's chair. "1he House will please
come to order. The gentleman from
Massachusetts has the floor" ''NNeb-
ster, y said Colonel Munford, relating
the incident, "took, as if by instinct, the
most favorable position in the room, so
that his voice could best be heard and for
ten or fifteen minutes he spoke with an
eloqucnce that have never heard

An eminent physician has finally discov-
cred the cause of SeaSc5nes. OF course
going to sea is the original cause of sea-
sickness, but the immediate cause Of the
nausea, headache and prostration which
constitutes seasicllness is a lack of blood
in the brain. Nature, not foreseeing that
men would ever trust themselves on the
the sea, omitted to supply the vessels of
the brain with valves The result is that
when person is subjected for the first
time to the motion of a vessel at sea, the
blood, in accOrdance.with thelaw of gravita-
ton, is drawn from the brain, and there
being no valves to retain it, the heart finds

Now that we know how TO treat sea-sick-
ness half the terrors of a sea voyage will
disappear Instead of lying in his state
room or on the deck miserably sick, the
passenger will spend his first twenty-four
hours at a breezy elevation above the deck,
and without single abdominal pang True
his position may seem little cramped and
tiresome, but this would soon wear Off and
his attention would be attracted and his
mind occupied by the novel spectacle Of the
world v hen viewed from an upside down
position. That this treatment would pre-
vent seasickness there can not be the
shadow Of doubt, especially when we recol-
lect that the bat, who spends half the year
upside down, has never been known in a
single instance to be seasick.-N. Y. Times.

A GREAT POINT GAINED.

Why the French Dress weIl-First Select
ing Pattern and Then Buying the
Goods.
The French woman is acknowledged
to have learned the secret of dressing
well beyond all Of other nationalities.
Isolated cases, exceptions to the rule,
prove the statement Some American
women are these isolated cases, not all.
Foreigners say that Americans are
among the most captivating. and often
the best dressed women they meet, but
this comes of conglOmerate crcum-
stances for which the women as nation
should take little credit We are not
vet the best dressed women in the
world. But we are on the road to that
distinction. We have learned the Sc
cret of being "bjeN chdSSc, bjeD gdntc. -

are being adhered to more and more

is never absent from the toilet of the
French woman of fashion. And here is
the secret, an open one to all. The
American woman sees a material is

she buys it. Then she looks up the
styles, hunts for patterns, consults the
modiste and gets it made often without
knowing for what occasion she will
need it. The French woman is too
wise for this. She has made the sub
ject of S too serious matter of
study notes and analyzes the
dltferC ndS of treatment given by
artists rapery on the female forms
of their canvas. She studies her own
height, shape, color, carriage and nat
ural movements She keeps list of
the probable and possible times and oc-
casions which she thinks she will need
preparation for, and when the time ar
rlveS for her to have new costume
made she has its general appearance
and minor details all familiar to her
mind, even to color and cost. Then,
and not till then, she goes to the mart
and selects the material that comes
the nearest she can find or afford to
realize the conception of the costume
she wants. In other words, the Ameri-
can woman purchases her goods, then
finds her pattern; the French woman

difficulty in pumping enough blood into
the brain to supply the drain.
This theory enables us TO understand why
a sailor on his first voyage RECEIVERS from sea-
sickness 50 much more rapidly than pas
senger. The reason is that he is compelled
to work, and his circulation being thereby
.quickened his brain is better supplied with
blood than is the brain of the idle paSSen =
ger. 1t is the common belief of the sea-
sick person that he obtains temporary re-
lief by emptying his stomach. The facts
of the case are that the effort to thus re-
lieye himself throws the blood into his
brain and he thereupon feels better. Those

quently escape seascknesS, for the reason
that while a person is lying down the blood
can flow into the brain more readily than
when he is in any other position.
Knowing the immediate. cause of sea-
sickness, we can be at no loss to know how
to treat it. Nothing can be clearer than
that the recent proposal to treat seasickness
by the exhibition of bromideS in strong
doses is all wrong. The plan of tying a
tight bandage around the waist is supported
by those who believe that seasickness is
due to the mechanical friction of one organ
against another. We now know that this
is untrue, but nevertheless the tight band
