Manager John T. Ford's account Of
Booths assassination of Lincoln contains
some new and interesting points. one OF
which is that the recommendation to mercy
in the case of Mrs. Surratt, was suppressed
and never seen by the President. Another
| is the positive statement that Mrs. Surrati
had absolutely nothing to do with the
crime, aud still another is that Booth con-
ceived the idea Of the murder on the day OF
its preparation, and that he was all the
afternoon IN a morbidly excited state. quot
ing Brutus and fancyiDg himself Roman
hero. 1t was known at that time that
Booth had no accomplioes in the South, and
Mr.. Ford's story goes further to prove that
Booth was in comparatively insane condi-
tion when the crime was committed.
Ut course a great deal of the infamy Of
trying and condemning Mrs. Surratt is due
to the excitement of the times, but the fact
remains that she was convicted and hung
entirely outside the proper methods of law,
and the statement of Mr. Ford about the
suppression of the recommendation for
mercy, makes the worst part of the affair
belong to Judge Advocate General Holt
Rich: Times.

The Afternoon Nap.

From Dress
Speaking about women one of them says:
'EMany women find an afternoon nap an absolute
necessity; others, who cannot sleep during the
day. find that half an hour of absolute rest of mind
and body, with loose gown in darkened room,
is of great benefit to them, enabling them to en-
dure more fatigue, and making them feel brighter
for the evening. Indeed, some physicians say
that every woman should loosen her clothes and
lie down for at least fifteen minutes every day, for
the sake of health. And aside from health, many
women do this to preserve their youthful looks;
for half an hour they think of nothing and close
their eyes. The muscles of the face relax, which
postpones wrinkles for a few years, and the eyes
retain their brightness. 1t is good plan to take
this little afternoon rest even if one does not alb
solutely feel the need of it. If woman leads
very busy life, whether in social or business
sense, the half-hour of complete rest will benefit
her eyes, mind, and whole body"

Educated Women.

Womans Journal.
Any education that units women to be mothers,
or men to be fathers, must be condemned, of
course. The mistake lies in assuming that the
higher education does unfit women to be mothers.
A year or two since, the Association of Collegiate
Alumne collected statistics from about eight hun
hundred women, college graduates, as to their
health before, during and after college, the health
of their children, the number who have died, etc.
Two points came out clearly from these Statistics
that the health Of the girls generally improved at
college, when they did not over-study; and that
the death rate among the children of college wom-
en- is remarkably low. An educated woman knows
better than an ignorant one how to care for her
own health and that of her children. Again, the
quality of the children has to be considered as
well as the quantity. The child of an educated
woman is likely to be more intelligent than that of
an ignorant mother. 1t is more likely to live, and
is also better 'worth raising"

THE SPRING IN THE LANE.

Lura e. Brown, in Magnolia Record.
Say! don't you remember the spring in the lane?
And wouldn't youlike to be there again;
just drinking your fill,
As the coolln drops spill
From your hand that's cup,
In which you "scoop" up
The water that flows from the spring in the lane?
All! how refreshn' that spring in the lane!
The longin' to taste it again gives me pain.
Do you mind the tin cup
Which we'd often fill up,
So It the water would race
Down the sides of our face?
That water that flowed from the spring in the lane!
Then OH how eleansin that spring in the lanel
From hands and hearts seemed to wash every stain
But we both of us think
Twas the best thing to drink
Can't you see the leaf.cup
That we couldn't fill up
With the water that flowed from the spring in the lane?
And how satisfyin that spring in the lane!
To the thirsty good as the falin' of rain
When ones not heard its song
For so long.
And we'd always drink deep
We could hold such heap
OF that water that flowed from the spring in the lane.
Well never forget the spring in the ane
To you and to me it's exceedingly plain
That after earths strife,
Evn the water of life
Though in goblets of gold
Full as they can hald-
Must tas s if It came from that spring in the lane
