The English recently photographed
some of their Burmese prisoners Just be-
fore execution. Colonel Hooper gives
the following version of the facts con-
nected with the case: 1.-The camera was
placed in position before the prisoners
were placed against the wall. The men
were blindfolded at the time. and knew
nothing of the fact that the camera was
there The words of command were in
nowlse tuned to suit the exposure of the
plate, which was instantaneous. The
words OF command, Ready, Present!
Fire! were given by the officer in COM
mand OF the firing party precisely in ac-
cordance with the regulations for yolley
firing, and no delay of any kind took
place between the words PRESENT. and

been made to secure the picture of an

Speaking in Congress.
The most nervous moment for a nc

The most nervous moment for new
member of Congress is just before he is
to make speech. Many of the old
members, even, are seized with stage
fright" The idea that the official re-
porters have ears for the whole country
gives every speaker an uncomfortable
large audience. Some members are
anxious at all times to get in the Record;
but these men generally do not make
speeches. They simply interrupt others
to ask questions sometimes very silly
ones-or to make objections, thus getting
their names in the Record. with an APP
pearance of great activity. When he is
about to make an ambitious effort, the
feeling of the member may be Judged by
one watching from the gallery. Each
man has his peculiar way of going
about it Morrison always stands for
moment half way down the second aisle
on the Democratic side. with hands on
the desk on each side. Then he speaks
with deliberation, always taking two or
three steps toward the Speaker when
much in earnest. lie Is always soon
through. Randall always speaks from
behind his own desk, and makes no pre-
limlnary movement Hewitt is prob
ably the only other who speaks entirely
without warning. To goes off like
powder-all in an instant. Some men,
berS load their desks for Il speech; some
load themselves. Som, times three or
four desks give warning of speeches.
They are piled up with congressional
records, revised statutes, newspaper
| clippings, and on top of all huge rolls
of manuscript When a speech is too
| full of dry matter to find room inside
| the orator, and must be given storage
on his desk. other members find it con-
venient to be in the cloak-room.
Last session there was a man in the
House who used to walk back and forth
around the semi-circle back of the men,
bers' seats, running his hands through
his hair for fifteen or twenty minutes,
before making a speech. Some men,
bers walk two or three times past the
Speakers desk before they try to catch
his eye. Some stand in their places,
clear their Threats several times, pull up
their sleeves. button their oU.ls. feel their
tie, open and shut their desks two or
three times, and then walk down the
aisle a little way, and say, Mr.. Speak
er." Some sit and rub their hands

Temperature is mainly the secret of
success or failure in making butter, saws
Henry Stewart, and the difference of a
degree or two in the cream when it goes
into the churn is sufficient TO produce
a vast amount of trouble in the wav OF
foaming cream, butter not coming, and
butter not gathering. 1t should not be
matter for surprise that this small
variation in temperature should produce
such results when we think that at SO

Born to Marry and Keep House.

The end of a woman is to marry and
raise up family. She starts out in
this direction when she carries a doll in
childhood. Your girl who leaves home
and goes out for herself does so because
she has failed to find the man she wants
to marry. BY and by she does find him,
and when she does she drops everything
and goes with him. She stops short in
her music, her acting, her art, her litera-
ture, or whatever it is, because after all
her instinct tells her to marry and she
follows her instinct instead of her rea-
son.
A man can marry and 90 ahead in
the particular pursuit or profession be
had chosen, but the woman stops and
subjects everything to the one duty of
wifehood. That is the reason women
do not succeed as well as men. They
fall short Grant all this for the sake
of argument Admit that it is the
mission of woman to marry and raise
up family. But | am now writing
about the exceptions. There are excep-
tons TO all classes all rules, all theories
and all PHILOSOPHERS! Most women do
marry young, and that is right That
is as far as most of them want to get.
They are fitted for this sort of life and
have no desire or fitness for another.
But are you going to make one kind
of girl do this when it is a strait-iacket
and an abomination to her? In other
words, is she to marry simply for the
sake of marrying, and settle down"
simply for the sake of settling down?
Why not allow her to follow her natural
bent as well as the young man? True,
she may. as my objector says, find some
man while herself following a success
full career whom she will love and whom
she will marry, thus cutting short work
that might otherwise have been rounded
and made complete. True, women are
as completely successful as men in the
more independent pursuits of life. Bat
the point which l wish to make clear
and emphatic is that society, and the
woman herself, and the man she marries.
and all directly or remotely concerned,
are the better for her having done even
something for herself, however little.
1repeat that the self-reliant woman
is a ciyilizer. The busy world is i'm
proved by her having been a participa-
tor. Her words are gentle and kind,
and her presence is a restraint to the
headlong impetuosity of men. Even
though she may not remain long with
us single, let us be thankful that she
has come at all. If she falls in love and
marries, even at the sacrifice of an in
dependent career, her life after all is
not in vain. Her own views have been
broadened, her sympathies have been
deepened. her capacity for employment
made greater, and her scope for useful
ness widened. say again and again,
let the ambitious girl see what she can
do for herself. - Womon's Journal.

A writer in the National Live Stock
Journal saws it is undoubtedly true that
milk is perfect food for the young, but is
not for adults who have got their growth.
The reason of this is that milk contains
too much mineral matter to be suited to
the adult as an exclusive food. His bones
are already formed and therefore he needs
only just enough of the mineral elements
in his TODD to restore waste of bone. But
the young have their bones to make and
this excess of mineral elements in milk is
just what is needed tor this purpose. This
view OF the matter seems reasonable and
correct. The writer might have added
with equal truth that the same reasons as
are given for milk being good food for
the young. also obtain in favor of its be-
ing a good food tor the aged. With them
the bones begin to decay, as we all know
how brittle the bones of aged people are.
Milk supplies this rapid waste or deteri-
Grafton of the anatomy of the system; and
we believe it is very generally true of old
people that milk as food agrees with
them remarkably well.
