her brother George married Miss Mary Fitz-

home OF Gen. Leo, who married their only
daughter, Mary Custis Lewis.
President John Adams and his wife were
grandparents when they went to live at the
executive mansion in Philadelphia, and
afterward at Washington. Their only
daughter, Abigail Adams. was one Of the
most beautiful Of any Of the women who
have occupied the White House. She mar
ried Col W. S. Smith, an aide to Washing
ton, and their little son was often at the
White House. Their daughter, Caroline,
married John Peter Dc Windt, Of Fishlill,

beauties about the middle Of this century.

dren, and one Of them was born in the White

children were all born at tho White House.
The president was very fond Of these chill
dren, and spent much OF his leisure time in
the family sitting room, where the children
OF Mrs. Donelson and OF Andrew Jackson,
Jr., were accustomed to play. The president
used to smoke a clay pipe with long stem,
and he would often use this stem as a wand
Of authority by which to quiet the children
when they became too noisy.

Height of Sea Waves.

A scientific gentleman not very long
ago declared it impossible that the tallest
sea wave could exceed six feet, because,
he added, the most furious tempest has
not a penetrating power beyond that
depth. 1t is to be supposed that he was
never off Cape Horn, and that he based
his theories on the disturbance during a
breezy hour of the surfaces of the Round
pond and the Regents canal. DIR.
Scoresby pronounced the seas of the At
lantic during heavy weather to run to a
height of from forty TO forty-five feet.
This may well be regarded as a great sea.
but it would be interesting to know the
elevation of the waves of the south
Pacific in high ATTITUDES during hurri-
cane, since it is certain that for magni-
tude and velocity the seas of the north
Atlantic are not comparable with the
stupendous folds which are set running
by the storm along the vast stretch of
waters which girdles the southern hem
isphere. Telegraph.

After the soup had been served, and
just prior to serving the next course, the
host gave his signal and rose from his
seat as did every other gentleman at the
table, all the ladies remaining seated.
Each gentleman then moved to the next
gentleman's seat to his right. When this
was first done, the ladies, not being let
into the secret, were very much surprised
at the unusual conduct of the gentlemen,
and could not at once comprehend the
meaning of it; but when they gathered
its full intent, and the charm there was
in it, it was decidedly gratifying to note
the merriment and interest with which
they received the innovation. Just prior
to the commencement of the next course
the host gave his signal again, and each
gentleman again moved one gentleman S

setting of the courses was so harmoni-
ously arranged that at the close of the

short space, every lady at the table, and

The fiftieth anniversary of the Carnival
club of Mainz was recently celebrated at
the large hall of the court house. The
assembled guests counted nearly 5000,
among them the governor of the fortress,
Won Winterfeld; the director of the
province, Kuechler, and the mayor, DIR.
Oechsner. The ceiling was supported
by fourteen Aliases twenty-three feet
high and clad in clowns dress. The
garlands stretching from head to head of
these figures were held up by immense
wasps, flies, ETC., with most gorgeous
wings. The rostrum was adorned with
every imaginary emblem of foolery. The
band wore dresses of feathers represent
ing all kinds of birds, the conductor be-
ing gigantic cacadoo. The goddess of
foolery, just emerging from an immense
egg, was suspended from the center of
the ceiling, and her double appeared as
leader of the escort of King Carnival.
Presents were carried by Father Rhine,
the genii of music and song, Moguntia,
etc. From some funny devices, at the
bidding of the goddess, the heads of the
eleven city councillors were brought forth.
Funny orations, representations and songs
alternated with orchestral music and
dances, and the jolly company did not
separate till morning. -Foreign Letter.

A Cause of Left Handedness.

DR.. Feltz, in L'Art Medical, relates
the following as possible explanation of
the occurrence of left handedness: In a
family composed of five persons, the
father and mother were right handed, as
was also the eldest son, who had been
cared for in his infancy by nurse. The
second child had been nursed by the
mother, and was left handed. The third
child, also nursed by his mother, was at
the age of year, evidently left handed,
never grasping any object with his right
hand. DR.. Feltz noticed that the mother
carried the child on her left arm, and,
upon being questioned, said it had always
been her custom to carry her children on
this arm. The doctor advised her to
hold the child on her right arm.
She did SO; the child soon began to
use his right hand in Selling objects, and
is now, at the age of 10 years, normal
as regards the preference of the right
over the left hand. The doctor explained
that when the nurse carries the child on
the left arm, the left arm of the infant is
the one which is free, and which conse-
quently he learns to use, to the neglect of
the right.

him the prey of the impecunious ON more
than one occasion. About year ago he
received letter from a small town in
Ohio, saying: won't you please send
me your photograph have heard of
you SO often that l am very DESTROYS of

thinking that the applicant was getting
up some sort of gallery, sent the photo
graph. A few months later he received
letter, saying: 1.-THE photograph was
received; am deeply obliged. l would
like to have something more to remem-
Der you by. Couldn't you send me a
watch and chain?"
This letter naturally met with no re-
sporse. A short time ago third letter
was sent, which said modestly: Il sup
pose you have forgotten me by this time

to send me a watch and chain, wish
to remind you that am still interested in
your career. Won't you please send me

When NJ. de Lesseps was asked by
Emperor William where he expected to
find the immense capital required for the
Panama canal, he replied 'In the
wooden stockings of France"-the stock
ings in which the peasants, workmen and
small tradesmen store their savings, a
few sous every Saturday. The shrewd
old Frenchman knew what he said to be
true. He found the capital where he ex-
pected to find it without resort to the
great fnanciers and bankers of Europe.
1t is to be feared that these wooden stock
ings will long be worn out and thrown
aside before the little savings of the
French peasantry will find their way
back to them. But the lesson remains,
and there is no people on the face of the
earth that needs it so much as the Amori-
can people. We are nation of spend
thrifts. Once New Englanders had a
reputation for economy and thrift, but it
is said they are losing it. Prodigality and
extravaganza are the rule. There is lit
tie capital in the wooden stockings of this
country. Chicago Times.

Dancing for Rain.

In many parts of the Balkan peninsula,
and especially in Servia and Bulgaria,
the old pagan custom of dancing for
rain still prevails. During times of great
drought the peasant girls assemble in
public places and deck themselves with
flowers and the branches of trees. One
girl, holding branch in her hand, repre-
sents Dodol, the Slav god of the air, to
whom the others sing a song appealing
for rain for the thirsty land, while one
of the bystanders throws water from a
pitcher upon the feet of the dancers.
The master of the house rewards the
dancing divinities with a small present,
confident that their lively appeal for rain
ought to be at least as effective as sailors
whistling for wind.-Frank Leslie's.
