force becauseit happens to be authentic.
In the early days when he was Il Ter

Washington and General Sibley pre-
pared the proper bill, in which St. Paul
was duly nominated rs the future seat
of government. He carried it to Stephen
A. Douglas to be put through the
Senate. The Little Giant was q good
friend of .he General and took the bill
with a sly twinkle in bis eye. 1t had
its reading in due course of time and
was referred to the Territorial Com
mittee. Here General Sibley happened
to get hold of it once more. Horror!

hunted him up and asked why the

from this" replied Douglas. General

The Senator yielded to urging and
The change was made, which was q

A year or so later there was an ex-
cursion down the Potomac. Most of
the Senators were on board; also Gen

sought him out.

That was what | read on one of the

within that grand old church edifce

windows were similar inscriptions COM

nected with the church One of them
indicated that it had been erected to the
memory of Mrs. Arthur by her husband,
Chester A. Arthur, who was a regular
wo3shiper at this church during his
Presidency. This suggested a query as to
whether or not the prominent people of
the nation, those who make and admin
lister the laws, are church-goers. Look

a Chatter on Taste.


Taste is the power to perceive the
beautiful. Experience is needed for
this, and, therefore, the formation of
taste is not only varied, but gradual.
No one would be content to adhere to
his childish judgment, for in most cases
it would be but an imperfect one. In
the period of youth all is novelty and
the estimate of every thing is naturally
exaggerated. A young man goes to the
theater for the first time; the actors are
by no means talented, the scenic ar
rangements are any thing but realistic,
but it is Of no consequence, the youth is
'enchanted-it is new world to him
and he is, therefore, so carried away
that he is absolutely incapable of form
ing Il sound Judgment; it is not that his
taste is bad, but it is simply Uniformed.
But besides experience, cultivation is
required. To acquire good style in
composition, and, therefore, to thor
oughly appreciate the best writers, it is
by no means sufficient to have written
a great deal, experience is not enough
here; there must be u careful study of
the best authors, and this study will be
great assistance to the acqurement
OF sound literary taste. London

CURING OF GRASS.
The Relative Value of Hay Made in July
and September.


l once laid up NOW of timothy and
redtop, with a small percentage of
clover. One part of the hay was cut us
soon as the herdsgrass was in bloom;
the rest in the same field was allowed
to ripen. The early-cut hay produced
milk and growth without meal. When
it was half gone we changed to the late
cut hay, and fed the whole now The
stock survived the change, but when
the early cut hay was resorted to again,
began to show signs of life, and the
growth and milk produced was all in
favor of the early cut hay. l have
often regretted that the figures were
not preserved, but | have had the ex-
experience and shall not soon forget it,
and shall never doubt the value of hay
cut in the early part of July, nor the
almost worthlessness of September
grass. An important matter to con-
slider is the condition of the field after
the hay is removed. That portion of
the moving which l cut early, started
a heavy aftermath, and held out to
several good crops Of hay in subsequent
years, while the latter-cut portion failed
much sooner. Hay may be cut too
soon, but had l only one piece of grass
to cut, that would be cured as soon as
the stalks had attnined the natural
growth and begun to show by blossom
ing that the further efforts of nature
would not be in the making of hay, but
in the reproduction of plant life, by
perfecting seed. Hay seed is good feed,
but costs too much by the bushel. All
grasses native to our soil and all weeds
and other coarse matter in the hay is
of far greater value cured before the
deposit of bitter matter in the fodder

WORKING WOMEN,S PAY.
Difficulties in the way of Adjusting Piece
Work.

OIhcultloS III INC way OF AuJnSplnS 11ec0
Work.
When work such as sewing is done
by the piece, the rate paid depends on
the sample maker. If she is very ex.
pert in point of time her standard is
good for the employer, but very hard
on the girls. There are only few in
every work-room who can equal the
sample maker The slower workers are
degraded in consequence, although the
work done may be equal in quality. AS
arule the sample maker is not loved.
A conscientious sample maker, the
sewing women say, will consider the
average speed practicable.
Piece work is one of the most difficult
matters to adjust in the labor market.
1t is conceded that it is greatly in the
employers interest. 1t is certain that
the nervous strain produced by it tears
down the health of women. A woman
confesses to working from eight in the
morning until midnight, lifting her eyes
anxiously every little while to the clock.
In factories the strain of competition
carried to excess is one of the dangers.
Notwithstanding these admitted evils,
the system is upheld by women work
ers, for they always have the possibility
of earning more than by weekly wages,
whether they avail themselves of it or
not, and trades unions in England have
made an effort toward establishing
weekly wage based on piece work. One
method of relieving the strain of piece
work is by limiting the hours of labor.
forbidding night work, and by prohibit
ing the slow workers from working for
less than a living wage. This can be
done through organization, and of
course does not apply to the idle and
incompetent, who doubtless would and
ought to be discharged. N Y. Eve's-
ing San.

SIGHT AND MOTION.
Two Examples of the Illusions to Which
Our Senses Are Subject.

our are SUBJECT.
The senses are subject to illusions in
proportion to the remoteness of the in
formation that they give from the inn
mediate necessities of the organism.
Touch, the most immediate and least
inferential of the senses, is least sub
ject to illusions; while sight is so very
much so, that the blind often say they
have an advantage over the seeing in
being free from visual illusions. The
illusions of bodily motion are much
nearer to those of touch than to those
Of sight, and yet they can under GER
tain conditions be induced through
visual impressions. Of this the writer
has recently had two interesting exam
pies. He was standing upon the floor
Of railroad depot, the boards of which
were laid with a considerable open
space between them; and the shadow
of an electric light was moving up and
down by the swinging of the light in
the wind. Looking at the floor, it
seemed as though the shadow were sta
tlOHdI1 anu INC uOOI-DOdluS IlONluSs
From this it followed that the person
on it was moving, too, and the writer
distinctly felt the swinging sensation;
in fact, his attention was called to the
phenomena by this feeling of motion.
The other observation was as follows:
while riding in the cars and looking out
of the window, the trees and all arc
seen to move in the opposite direction.
If, now, one looks in a mirror so situ-
ated that it reflects the passing land
scape, which, however must not be visi-
BILE except in the mirror, one has the
illusion of moving in the opposite to
the real direction of motion, owing to
the reversal of the image in the glass.
In both these cases an immediate
bodily sensation is induced by more
or less unconscious inference through
visual sensations. Science.
