My nomination has now been submitted
TO the senate, and recognizing their right

avoid such embarrassment, which is my
duty to you aid the country, and TO leave
before the senate in its final Judgment
upon my nomination the sole question of

The Acceptance.

washington, Jan. 2.-Mr. Lamar
Dear Sir: When ! determined to nomi.
nate you for a position for the supreme
court, the personal qualification afforded
by the tender to you OF SO honorable and
suitable a place, aRd the satisfactory
conviction that AT important executive
duty will thus be we'll performed, led
me almost 70 forget that my action In.
volved the loss OF your conscientious and
valuable aid and adyice In cabinet couus
Gil. which for nearly three years l have
SO much enjoyed and appreciated,
Your note Of to-day forces me
to contemplate this contingency
with the most profound and
sincere regret. But since I know the
separation you now insist upon arises
from that conception OF public duty
which has always so entirely guided
your conduct In official relations, /
am constrained to accept the resignation
you tender, hoping 1t only anticipates
your entrance upon the discharge OF
higher and moro congenial functions than
those now r~elinquished. What / have
thus far written seems very formal, In
deed intended this, because /
am Ire the loss of condolences
and relations of positive affection
which have grown up between us need
no expression or Interpretation. And
yet find II utterly impossible for NE to
finish this note without assuring you that
the khtnoa rhlah= Aa.e
conduct and bearing In the position from
which you now retira-alI your devotion
to your country and chief-all your self
sacrificing caro- and soIicftude for public
interest, ali the benefits which your Of
fcial service have conferred upon your
fellow c~ountrymen, and all the affection
and Kindness 80 oftsn exhibited towards
me parsonally-I shall constantly re-
member with tenderness and gratitude,
Your very sincrely,
"0EoyER CLEvELAND.n
Although no particular date is men
tioued In this correspondence, yet IL is

1t is n very common phrase to speak of the
waves, during a storm, as running mount
aims high; but this really means nothing.
Accurate measurements. made by Scoresby,
proved that during storms, waves in the At
lantic rarely exceed 4} feet from hollow to
crest, the distance between the crests being
$50 feet, and their speed - 1-3 miles an hour.
More recent observations in the Atlantic give
from A to 4S feet as the highest measured
waves; but such heights are rarely reached
and, indeed, waves exceeding 80 feet are very
seldom encountered. The monsoon waves at
kulrachee breakwater works were found to
dash over the wall to the depth of 13 feet, or
about 40 feet above mean sea level. The
greatest height of waves on the British coast
were those observed in Wick bay-so famous
for the exceptionally heavy seas which roll
into it-being 81 IL to 10 feet. Green seas
to the depth of 25 feet poured over the para
pet of tho breakwatcr at intervals of from
seven to ten minutes, each wave, it was esti-
mated, being mass of 10000 tons of water,
and this continuously for three days and
nights. During severe storms tho waves used
to rise high above the top of Smeaton's Ed
dystone tower, while at the Bell Rock the
seas, with easterly storms, envelop the tower
from base to balcony-a height of 400 feet.

Sugar Making In Louisiana.

A little girl residing in st. James Parish,
La, recently wrote the following letter
to Harper's Young People, in which she
described how sugar is made on the Louisiana
sugar plantations:
l live on a sugar plantation which is situa-
ted on the Mississippi river, and l will try to
give you little account of how sugar is
made on a sugar plantation. The cane is cut
in the field by negros. We employ from
seventy to hundred negroes during the har-
vesting season of the cane. When the cane
is cut it is carried to the sugar house and put
under she'd. When it is under the shed
there are hands there who put it ON a band,
which carries it to the rollers; then it passes
through the rollers to have oil the juice
mashed out of it. The refuse that is left
when the juice is mashed out of the cane is
called begass; the begass is carried Off by II
band to large chimney, where it is burned.
When the rollers have mashed the juice out
of the cane, it passes through little box
filled with sulphur fumes; the sulphur is to
purify the juice. From there the juice goes
through a trough into big boxes, which we
call juice boxes, where it remains until it is
thoroughly settled. Then it is put in kettles,
but before it is put in the kettles we use lit
tie lime to cleanse the juice, so all Of the dirt
and impurities will come up to the top 50 it
can be thrown Off by means of a paddles.

The Education of Girls.

The education, the life of today's women,
has untitled them to be mothers, but the
education OF today's girls is bringing them to
womanhood more perfect specimens of their
kind, physically as well as mentally, strong
and healthy in mind and body, able to endure
the suffering of motherhood; willing TO give
few years of life to producing new life,
reasoning with well developed faculties how
to make that new life stronger and more fit
TO take yet another step forward.
Nothing is more marked in our progress
than awakening to the need Of less combining
clothing for the body, less combining life for
the physical strength, less combining cduca-
ton for the mind. Little use is there to dis
cuss the relative weight and size Of the mas
cuIino and feminine brain. No arguments
pro or con can prove anything; those people

The art of not hearing should be learned
by ALL 1t is fully as important to domestic
Happiness as a cultivated ear, for which so
much money and time are expended. There
are SO many things which it is painful to
hear, many which we ought not to hear very
many which, if heard, will disturb the tenn
per, corrupt simplicity and modesty, detract
from contentment and happiness, that every
one should be educated to take in or shut out
sounds according to his pleasure.
If man falls into violent passion and
calls us all manner of names, at the first word
we should shut our ears and hear no more
II, in our quiet voyage of life, we find our
selves caught in one of those domestic whrl-
winds of scolding, we should shut our ears as
a sailor would furl his sail, and making all
tight, scud before the gale. If q hot and
restless man begins to inilame our feelings,
we should consider what mischief these fiery
sparks may do in our magazine below, where
our temper is kept, and instantly close the
door.
If, as has been remarked, all the petty
things said of one by needless or i'll natured
idlers were to be brought homo to him, he
would become mere walking pincushion,
stuck full of sharp remarks. If we would be
happy, when among good men we should
open our ears; when among bad men, shut
them. 1t is not worth while to hear what
our neighbors say about our children, what
our rivals say about our business, our dress
or our affairs.
The art of not hearing, though untaught in
our schools, is by no means Impractical in
society We have noticed that well bred
woman never hears a vulgar or impertinent
remark A kind of discreet deafness saves
one from many insults from much blame,
from not a little connvance in dishonorable
conversation.-Tre Trove

The Tide Turned.

On March 6, 1922, great gale of extreme
violence blew on the River Thames. Coming
from the southwest its effect was that the en-
trance of the tide was interrupted for several
hours. The time of flood should have been
about l O'clock but at 10 in the morning tho
tide was still ebbinS with great rapidity ut
London bridge In consequence of this the
water sank so in the river that it was rem
dered fordable at several places. Many per-
sons, indeed, were seen walking across, and as
tho bed was exposed, in large tracts, valuable
articles which had lain there great length
of time were picked up. This was the case as
var out as Gravesend The water had not
been known to be so low for many years by
several feet. Ships were seen aground in all
parts of the river below London bridge
About II o'clock the tide began to return, and
with rapidity proportioned to the check it
had experienced, the wind having acted as a
temporary dam to its progress. Such was the
force of the current that barges and small
craft in great numbers were driven against
each other, and many Of them sunk or were
otherwise much injured. The time of high
water did not take place till after O'Clock,
instead of l o'clock. We have no account Of
damage done on the occasion in the city of
London.

Die Bridget or peasant born drudge TO
live in comfort there Is more work necessary
IN household than mere onlOolers ever
dream of. The routine of good housekeeping
Is like the steps taken by a sheep on a treadle
it is walk, walk, walk all the time and
never any advance to new ground. There
are more martyrs in the kitchens than ever
yet persisted at stakes. Smile at their discom-
forts and their sorrows if you WILL but the
woman doomed to do kitchen work, who has
no taste or adaptabilty for it, is sight for

one is patient endurance Of it; the other is to
get out of it, To endure it, lift it as high as

The "Best Man" ut weddings-How Came
IIe to BE?

The custom Of having best man is one Of
some antiquity; just how old we cannot say.
1t is survival, not of the fittest 1t is said
that in an old church in Gothland, in Swe-
den, pile Of lanccs is preserved. Each of
the lanccs is fitted TO hold torch, and it is
said the we pons were used mt one time to
give light and protection to marriage parties
on the way 20 church, the ceremony taking
place at night, as u prccaution against the
bride being taken away 10y some Lochinvar
who claimed better right to her than the
duly recognized sutton 4 recent writer, dc
scribing marriage in Khurdisan, says he
saw young man carrying Off his bride sur
rounded by body guard of some twenty or
thirty men. These men were supposed TO be
protecting the happy couple from party of
young women who hurled pieces of earth
and tamboos at the procession and made
show of rescuing the bride. AS soon, how
ever, as the bridegroom reached his own vii
lage with his charge the assalants ran home
screaming and laughing Among ourselves
the term best man" is said to be survival
of the time when the bridegroom had to get
strong hands TO aid him in securing the ob-
jcct of his affections. There is probably
also, survival of the assaults that were
then made on marriage parties in the show
ers of rice and old slippers bestowed SO freely
on the newly welded.

A writer gives tho following directions for
taking pills easily;
If the pill is tastelcss, lotit be taken lightly
between the lips, and a drink of water will
carry it down with no trouble. If disagree
able to the taste, it is better to place tho pill
as far back as possible on the tongue, and
then take good draught of water or any
light beverage. Let the most inveterate Of
pill haters give this simplest of methods a
fair trial, aud he will be quito an exception
if he does not own his difficulties gone.
Should he, however, remain obdurate,
another plan may be tried: envelop tho pill
in q small piece of rice or wafer paper, place
this in a tablespoon, fill up with water, put

bic, and the whole mass will be swallowed

Numbered with stories told about Wash
ington Irving is the following: In his early
youth Washington Irving had longing to
go to sea and be a pirate. He determined to
make the attempt, but wisely decided to pre-
pare himself for it by preliminary expert
ences. He began by eating salt pork. That
made him sick He then slept for night or
SO on hard boards. That made HIM sore 1t
was enough. He had no more desire to go
away. Other boys who want to capture
men-of-war, or who desire to go west and
scalp Indians, would do well to initiate young
Irving's example.
