William Russell, Somerset. Thomas
More, William Wallace, King John OF
France, and many others add to the
tragic interest of the place.
Within the prison fortress, too, are
the Jewel Room, containing the rega-
liza of British monarchs, and the Ar
mories, where are to be seen re-
nowned collection of ancient arms and
armor. The crown jewels are enclosed
in huge glass case for the inspection
of visitors. Among them are Victo-
ria's coronation crown, which cost
100000; the great ruby worn by the
Black Prince; the crown of Charles
II; the Koh-i-noor diamond
baptismal font used at the
of the royal children, and ...
famous objects. In the Al
the suits of armor worn by Henry
VIII, Charles I, John of Gaunt,
"time-honored lancaster" Dudley,
Earl of Leicester, Elizabeth's favorite,
and a historical collection of arms and
armor from the thirteenth to the eigh-
teenth centuries. To the northwest
of the Tower is Tower Hill, on which
the famous scaffold was reared. Va
rious portions of the Tower buildings
have of late boen used as barracks and
arsenals, and vast quantities of NUM-
tions of war are usually in store

Some years ago the omission of a
comma in a letter in the London Times
gave a horrible meaning to sentence.
The letter is on the American war, and
the writer says: "The loss of life will
hardly fall short of half million; and
how many more were better with the
dead than doomed to crawl on the
mutilated victims of this great national
crime" 1t should have been: "than
doomed to crawl on, the mutilatei
victims of this great national crime"
The following sentence appeared in a
newspaper a short time ago: "The
prisoner, said the witness, was a con-
victed thief This statement nearly
caused the proprietors of the news
paper some trouble, and yet the words
were correct When their attention
was drawn to the matter, and proper
punctuation supplied, the sentence had
an exactly opposite meaning: "The
prisoner, the witness said, was con-
victed thief" Dean Afford says that
he saw an announcement of meeting
in connection with the Society for
Promoting the Observance of the
Lords Day which was founded in
1884," giving the notion that the day
not the society. was founded IN that
year. A comma should have been
after day and then the sentence
would have been correct. All tn,

A physician of the New York Nur-
sery and Child's Hospital believes.
from his practice, that infants gener-
ally, whether brought up at the breast
or artihcially, are not supplied with
sufficient water. the fluid portion of
their food being quickly taken up, and
leaving the solid too thick to be easily
digested. In warm, dry weather,
healthy babies will take water every
hour with advantage, and their fire.
quent fretfulness and rise of temper
ature is often directly due to their not
having it.
A free supply of water, and restrict
ing the frequency of nursing, has been
found at the nursery to be a most
effectual check in cases of incipient
fever. a diminished rate of mortality
and marked reduction in the number
of gastric and intestinal complaints
being attributed to this cause. In teeth
cutting water soothes the gums, and
frequently stops the fretting and rest
lessness universal in children at this

The Tower of London.

London Tower is on the same side
of the river as Westminster Palace,
but two miles or moro distant, at al
most the other extreme of the city, the
east end being below London Bridge
and the Custom House. 1t is the only
fortress of the metropolis and is of
very ancient origin. Shakespeare and
Gray among the poets, as we'll as other
writers, attribute it to Julius Cesar,
but apparently without good authori-
ty. 1t covers about twelve acres Of
ground and is surrounded by garden
occupying the site of the old moat. 1t
was formerly entered on the river
front by the Traitors Gate. thro ugh
which prisoners of State were conveyed
after trial, being brought in boats
from Westminster; but this is now
closed up. The White Tower, one of
the most famous portions of the build
ing, was built by William the Conquer
or, and still remains unaltered within,
though Wren remodelled it externally.
The recent explosion occurred in St.
Johns Chapel, one of the finest and
most perfect specimens of Norman
architecture to be found in England.
The lower floor of the tower is known
as Queen Elizabeth's Armory, and the
upper floor contains rooms formerly
used as Council Chamber and ban
queting-room. Near the Traitors
Gate is the Bloody Tower, in which
the two young sons of Edward lV
were murdered by order of Richard
III; this the Duke of Wellington
thought the securest prison he eve
saw. Beauchamp Tower was the
prison of Anne Boleyn and Lady Jane
Gray. In the Bowyer Tower the
Duke of Clarence was drowned in {

Jokes in the United States Senate.

A Washington letter says that the
senate does not contain more un-
wearied student or more restless
wag than Senator Garland. After
hours spent in abstract study. he will
bound up like ball when the tension
is over, and refresh himself with a
series of practical pranks, sparing no
one within the range of his sallles.
He hits home with the most grotesque
solemnity, but never in malice. His
special delight is to get hold of some
dismal parsonage with no more juice
in him than a clearinghouse steak,
and, after testing him with some
insanely ludicrous yarn, enjoy telling
how che looked at me as if l was a
case of yellow fever and he was
freezing ship
He is always on the lookout for some
terrible retaliation. and it is a red
letter day in the senate when the
bitter is bit. On one occasion, when an
important measure was before the
senate, Mr.. Garland delivered a care
full and exhaustive speech, to which
close attention was given. About ten
minutes after he had finished and
when, so to speak, "his brows were
bound with victorious wreaths," Don
Cameron went over to the Arkansas
senator's side of the chamber, and
said:
Garland, when are you going to
speak on this question? l want to
hear you"
"Good gracious" remarked the sur
prised senator. "Why, l just got
through. Where were you?"
About five minutes later. Mr. Whyte,
of Maryland, who had not been in the
senate during the speech, had the job
put up on him and asked the same
question in good faith. "Why, l just
finished, Whyte. Look at the Record
in the moring.'
Another five minutes passed and
then Butler, Of South Carolina,
another sleepless wag, went meekly up
to Garland and asked when he was
going to speak to the bill. Consider
ing the source of this last inquiry the
remark was in the nature Of an eye
opener, and Mr.. Garland tartly replied:
"lf you have any more of 'em, Butler,
bring them on in a body. 1t saves
time"

A Simple Remedy I'm DiarrhGa.

1t is simply vinegar, preferably
sound cider vinegar. The dose is
about two ounces for an adult, and
should be swallowed meat" without
admixture of water. 1t may also be
given to infants with excellent results.
To babe one year old teaspoonfui
of moderately diluted vinegar would
be the proper dose. Its effects is to
check pain, tenesmus, and tormina at
once, to relieve the chills and cramps
when present, and to disseminate Il
feeling of warmth and comfort over
the body. Even in cases of chronic
diarrhea Which have long resisted
treatment, this household remedy has

Liquor laws in the South are shewn
in an interesting way by reports from
the various secretaries of State gath
cred by the Philadelphia Press. OF
course no State has general Prohibition,
constitutional or statutory. and popular
opinion is nowhere such as to promise
one at present, but great deal of
local prohibition is reached through
local option laws of one kind and an
other. and by special legislation. In
fact, the temperance record there is in
this way much better than in the
North. Virginia has an easy-going
license system, and selling liquor on
Sunday and election days only forbid
den. West Virginia has stringent
license law, which in fact gives kind
of local option, as the authorities in
any town or county may forbid the sale
altogether. North Carolina came near
enough to general Prohibition three
years ago to get constitutional
amendment submitted, but it was
voted down, and liquor selling is for
bidden only by special laws in localities
which ask for them. South Carolina
also has local prohibition by statutes,
and no sale is allowed outside incorpo-
rated towns. Georgia has local option,
and uses it to establish prohibition
more than any other State in the Union.
Alabama has local option, and the
Legislature makes some local prohibi-
tory laws outright. Mississippi has
statutory prohibition in two or three
counties, and license elsewhere. In
Louisiana the local authorities have
supreme power. Arkansas has "three,
mile law" under which majority ol
all the inhabitants, male and female
living within three miles of any church
or schoolhouse can, by petition, gel
prohibition established within those
limits. And Kentucky has local pro
hibition by statute.

The Dog in Phenician Religion.

Apart from conjectures, our know
ledge of Phenician religion is desper-
ately meagre and the role played by
the dog is yet to be known. On the
general principle that the Phenicians
borrowed without stint from Egypt,
we may suppose that the dog-headel
deity was not left without his share of
honor, and the dogs that were so care
fully embalmed in the Cynopolite
Nome may have been held sacred in
Phnnicia. Elian tells us H. n. XII. 3
that at Etna, in Sicily, there was a
highly honored temple of Hephastus,
containing an unquenched and sleep
less fire, and about the temple and
grove were sacred dogs" that wei
coined those who entered the precincl
with pious hearts; but they would bite
and rend any one that came with
polluted hands, or from wicked assoct
ates. Again he relates H. n. Xi. 2O)
that in the City of Adranus, in Sicily
there was a temple of the deity Adra
nus of great fame, to which sacred
dogs" were attached, not less than
1000 in number. They acted
tors and attendants of, the
surpassed in beauty and size
nous Molossian breed. Du
day they welcomed all that entered
the temple and grove, whether natives
or strangers; at night they played tht
part of the good policeman. Appar
emily, the excellent cheer that was
furnished at the temple was accus
toned to produce its effect upon the
visitants; for Klian says that such as
were quite intoxicated and could only
stagger on their way,the dogs conduct
ed to their homes very tenderly an(
safely, but such as were violent an(
noisy, they jumped upon and tori
their clothing, till they were brough
to their senses; while thieves and pick
pockets were torn to pieces withou
mercy.--NeU York Post.

The Signal Service Corps.

The observers Of the signal service
are five hundred in number. Each
candidate for enlistment is required to
pass a rigid examination. both mental
and physical, after which he is enlisted
and ordered to the school of instruc-
tion at Fort Myer, Virginia, to undergo
special course of study, calculated to
still further fit him for his new duties,
This course covers about eight tmonths,
at the termination of which he is again
examined, and if found properly quail
fed is announced as an assistant oh,
server and ordered to some observation
station for duty. If he fail at this
final examination, he is discharged from
the service. AS vacancies occur in the
list of observer sergeants, those assis.
tants who have shown themselves best
qualified for practical service, are pro-
noted to that grade and generally
placed in charge of an observation
station. Two sergeants each year are
promoted to the grade of second lieu
tenant. Between the grade of
second lieutenant and brigadier
general there are no interme-
diate grades. The service, it is
maintained by Gen. Hazen, is often
severely embarrassed by not having
full complement of tried and ex'
perienced officers. The present plan
it is held, also works injustice to the
men who oby faithful work and diligent
study have gained the rank of second
lieutenant and who are debarred from
further advancement.
Many stations are maintained at iso
lated points, viz: Mount Washington
Pixies Peak, Sitka, Alaska, and Point
Barrow, the most northern point OF
North America. 1t is considered de-
sirable to obtain series of unbrokeI
observations covering a long period o.
years at these points. At some o1
these places, the observers are Otter
imprisoned by the snow for great por
ton of the winter. They are provided
with comfortable quarters, plenty O
provisions, and reading material -
