The Pictured Rocks of yiroinia.

The famous Pictured Rocks on the
Evansville pike, about four miles from
this place, have been a source of wonder
and speculation for more than century
and have attracted much attention
among the learned men Of this country
and Europe. The cliff upon which these
drawings exist is of considerable size and
within short distance of the highway
above mentioned.
The rock is white sandstone which
wears little from exposure to the weather,
and upon its smooth surface are define
ated the outlines Of at least fifty species
Of animals, birds, reptiles and fish, en-
bracing in the number panthers, deer,
buffalo, offers, beavers, wildcats, foxes,
wolves, raccoons, opossums, bears, elk,
crows, eagles, turkeys, cells, various sorts
of fish large and small, snakes, etc. In
the midst of this silent menagerie of
specimens of the animal kingdom is the
full-length outline of a female form.
beautiful ard perfect in every respect.
Interspersed among the drawings of ami
mails, ETC., are limitations of the foot
prints of each sort, the whole space oc-
cupied being $50 feet long by so wide.
To what race the artist belonged, OF
what his purpose was in making these

If reports be true, the princess Of Wales
is an eminently clever milliner and gives
finishing touches to all her own bonnets
and hats, and judging from the individ-
uality Of her taste in the direction, it is
quite likely rumor may be safely cred
tied. A very pretty story has long been
current as to the royal lady's gift of art.
Not member of the royal family, not a
person intimately attached to the court,
could venture to suggest that after long
years the queens mourning might with
advantage be lessened, whereupon the
princess of Wales gently took the matter
in hand.
Without word to anybody she re-
modelled the queens somber bonnet, re-
moving the "weeds," and, with few
artistic touches, relieved her maiesty's
head-covering Of its mournful aspect.
Silently the queen submitted to the
change, but ell the court knew she did
so for her daughter-in-law's sweet sake.

A Christening Dress for the Baby.

The christening dress of the first-born
of the young Princess di Galatro Colonna
Formerly Miss Eva Mackay) is perhap,
the most unique specimen extant of the
finest point dAlencon lace of great
beauty and rarity. The dress, made az
a loose slip, is bordered with antique lace
of quarter of yard in width, the re.
mainder of the garment being woven tc
correspond, and having the arms of the
Colonna family designed in lace upor
the corsage. The Princess Anna Mural
declared that the dress surpassed in
beauty the famous christening robe OF
the late prince imperial.
The lace is the most superb that has
been seen in Paris for years. Even the
wedding flounces of the queen regent OF
Spain can not be compared to it. Mrs.
Mackay, the mother of the princess, has
a collection of lace that surpasses any OF
the royal houses of Europe-so it is said,
at any rate. She possesses the cele.
brated tunic and founces in point
dAlencon manufactured for the Empress
Eugene in 1869. This lace was COPIED
from piece originally in possession OF
Nine. de Pompadour.-London Court

@. Warrington as an Arlstoorat.

Washingtons pompous ways were Sc
verely criticised at this time His gor
geous, cream-colored coach with its six
horses was talked of, and they said that
1t was ridiculous for one whdeposed as
the great champion of American liberty
to keep men in livery and to own 500
slaves. There was probably some truth
in this charge. Washington was a great
swell, and he liked to strut about and
have his fellow-men toadying him. He
believed in high honors being paid to the
president Of the United States, and his
receptions as president were of the stiff
est kind. He dressed in the richest of
clothes, wore silk, satin and lots of gold
lace, and doubt not he was little
proud of his figure, which was tall and
well formed, with the exception of the
chest, which was sunken.
Washington had probably as fine an
establishment in America as any man in
the country at the time he lived. He
/ kept the finest of horses in his stables,
and had an army Of liveried servants.
AT Mount Vernon he had 100 COWS, and
he entertained like an English lord. He
always had wine on his table, and he
drank several glasses at every dinner.
His wife was addressed as Lady Wash
ington in those days, and his friends gave
him the title in private life of your ex.
celiency." ! have seen manuscript pr.
vate letters to Mrs. Washington, and ]
doubt not that during the first admins
tration of our government she was toad
led like queen. She and the president
had their coat-of-arms, and George
Washington had buttons made, at least
there are such buttons in existence, with
his initials on them. The Washington
family had the finest of china. They
liked good furniture, and even now al
Mount Vernon one might keep up an es.
tablishment which would not discredit
the times of to-day.-Cor. CLEVELAND

GROWTH or BOYS AND GIRLS,
Startling Facts ms 20 the Development OF
the Body During Childhood.


Startling Facts as TO the Development OF
the Body During Childhood.
During the international medical con-
ference held in Copenhagen in the sum-
mer of 1884, apaperread by the Rev. Mall
ing Hanson, principal Of the Danish in
stitution for the deaf and dumb, was
listened to with marked attention and
interest. It gave the results of the daily
weighing and measurements of height
which he had carried ON for nearly three
years on the 1870 pupils--seventy-two
boys and fifty-eight girls--of the institu-
ton, and demonstrated facts as to the de
velopment of the human body during
the period of childhood that perfectly
startled and astonished the asesm-
bled medical authorities, opening an en-
tirely new field for investigation and re-
Election.
Since then Mr.. Hanson has continued
his observations, and, though he has yet
a tremendous amount of work before
him, he believes himself able to state
now the outlines of the results he has OBJ
tanned The children are weighed -four
times daily in patches Of twenty-in the
morning, before dinner, after dinner,
and at bedtime-and each child is meas.
ured once a day. The common i'm.
preston is, no doubt that increase in
bulk and height of the human body dur.
ing the years of growth progresses evenly
all through the year. This is not So
Three distinct periods are marked out
and within them some thirty Lessen
waverings have been observed. AS foi
bulk, the maximum period extends from
August until December; the period OF
equipoise lasts from December unit
about the middle of April, and then fol
lows the minimum period until August
The lasting increase of bulk or weight il
all accumulated during the first stage
the period of equipoise adds to the body
about a fourth of that increase, but this
gain is almost entirely spent or lost agar
in the last period.
The increase in height of the children
shows the same division into periods
only in different order. The maximum
period of growth in height correspond,
to the minimum period of increase il
bulk, and vice versa. In September ant
October child grows only a fifth Of
what it did in June and July. In Other
words, during part of the year
autumn and beginning of winter-th,
child accumulates bulk, but tho height il
stationary. In the early summer tht
bulk remains nearly unchanged, but thc
vital force and the nourishment are ex
pended to the benefit of height. While
the body works for bulk there is rest FOL
the growth, and, when the period o.
growth comes, the working for bulk i,
suspended. The human body has, conse
qlently, the same distinctly marked
periods of development as plants

To Make Up for Infant Morta,itv

The turbot lays 100000 eggs, well
knowing that 1900, 800 will be eaten vi
in the state of spawn or devcured by
enemies in helpless infancy, or drifted
cut to sea and hopelessly lost, or other
wise somehow unaccounted for. The
fewer the casualties to which race
is exposed the smaller the number
of eggs or young which it needs to pro.
duce in order TO cover the necessary
losses.
In fish generally it takes at least 1O0,-
900 eggs each year to keep up the aver
age of the species. In frogs and Other
amphibians, few hundred are amply
sufficient. Reptiles often lay only a
much smaller number. In birds, which
hatch their own eggs and feed then
young, from ten to two eggs per annum
are quite sufficient to replenish the earth
Among mammals, three or four at a
birth is q rare number, and many of the
larger sorts produce one calf Or foal at g
time only.
In the human race at large, total OF
five or six children for each married
couple during whole lifetime makes UP
sufficiently for infant mortality and all
other sources of loss, though among
utter savages far higher rate is usually
necessary. Even making allowances fol
necessary deaths and celibacy, however,
l believe that as sanitation improves and
needless infant mortality is done away
with, the human race will finally come
to state of equilibrium with an average
of three children to each household
