Water as a Substitute for Grace,

From the Lewiston Journal.
Sister Weymouth was one of the
most notable women that ever lived
in the good old Maine town of Blank
mouth She was notable for her
powers as an exhortcr, which shone
in the village prayer-meeting as bril-
liantly as those OF any licensed
preacher whom the villagers heard
and for her quick wit, that found eX-
preston in many quaint ana pithy
speeches, some OF which are treasured
to this day, although she has long
been gathered to her fathers and
mothers. A worthless young man
named Frost fell in love with Sister
Weymouth's daughter. Failing to
melt the stern objections of the young
woman's mother in any other way,
he pretended to be converted under
her eXhortations, joined the church
and was married to his hearts de-
sire. Very soon the bad blood in
Frost's veins asserted itself and
the rascal deserted his wife after he
had lived with her fiyeo- six months.
Not long afterward his child was
born. While the officiating person
was giving the infant a bath Sister
Weymouth came in.
Look here!" said she. "Be sure
to hold that baby under the water
long enough to get all the Frost out
of i'll"

Exercise for Girls.

The best walking exercises for
young women to practice daily, as
serts the New York Sun, are bending
the body forward and back, to the
right and left, without bending the
knees, to give suppleness and strength
to the muscles OF the trunk. A Ger
tain amount of practice will enable
you to touch your hand to the floor
without bending the knees, from
which position you should rise very
slowly. Place one foot as far in
front ofthe other as you can without
too great an effort, and at right an
giles to it bend the right knee ali you
can, throwing the weight on the
other foot and bending the knee; re-
peat number of times, always wit h
the chest held high and thrown out.
Another good exercise for the knees
is to hold one foot up at right an
giles with the knee, standing on the
other one, and kick vigorously ard
quickly in such way that the toe
points downward, not outward.
For the ankles, assume the position
Tor walking. but with the heels
touching, the toes turned outward
Hold the body firm and motionless
and the feet fat on the. floor, poise
slowly forward and back as far ms
the ankles will allow, which is very
little, owing to their slenderness.
Repeat the exercise on one foot, hold
ing the other up by bending the
knee,

All that we know of color, its causes
and effects, is in connection with the
wave theory of light. Color depends
upon the number of light waves re-
Elected from any object impinginS upon
the retina of the eye. In red there are
10000 waves to the inch, and these will
strike the eye at the rate of 447 millions
of millions of pulsations per second. In
violets there are 81, 600 waves to the inch,
and $50 millions of millions Of pulsations
per second. The other colors have wave
lights intermediate between these two.
Color does not, therefore, exist either in
the object nor in the brain nor in the
mind of the observer. 1t is M effect.
There can be no appearance of n fire on
II desolate island where there is no eye
within seeing distance. The chemical
process called combustion goes on, but
there is no appearance of the flame save
when its waves strike upon the retina OF
IN eve.

An electrical writer has calculated that
the firing of small pistol sets free
about 600 foot pounds of energy, while
n watch consumes about one fifty four
millonth of a horse power, the energy of
the bullet being sufficient to keep the
time for two years. An Edison tele-
phone transmitter requires about n
thousandth of the energy i'll a watch; il
would therefore be worked for 1900
years on the energy exerted in tho PTS
toll. A lightning flash of 3, 800, 900 volts
and 100000 amperes, lasting one
twenty -thousandth of second, would
run 100 horse power engine for ten
hours.

Last Sunday the passengers in Uni
versity place CIR bound up town, says
the New York World, were amused when
n spaniel was brought into the car with
little boots, made of chamois skin, on
each of its feet, and red cravat care
fully tied under its chin. At Seventh
avenue and Twelfth street n fortnight
ago beautiful large Newfoundland
dog attracted attention by darting under
n showeung water-cart, soaking him
self, and then rolling in ecstacy on the
ground. When the driver stopped the
flow at the crossings, the dog rushed
ahead, looked up at him, and parked as
plainly as dog could: Turn it on; turn
it on" This being done doggie took
another bath, bounded up to the driv-
Ell again. parked his thanks, and ran
down Thirteenth street. He was fully
half way down the block, when the
sound of the water overcame him again,
and back he flew for another "douse.

Hank 0,naU.

Hank O'Day, the new New York pitcher,
played his first professional game with the
Bay Cities, of Michigan, in 1885, Dave Foutz
of the Brooklyn team, was member of that
club at that time. The Bay City manage
ment had too many players, and they didnot
know who to release, so they put the names
of their fourteen players in hat and drew
O'Day's name therefrom. He was their cen
ter fielder, and led the club in batting at the
time. The Toledo club wanted a onStrial,
and O'Day said he would go there pitcher,
although he never pitched a game before.
His first game was pitched against the Co
lumbus team, and Toledo won by a score OF
4 to g which was quite victory for the lat
ter club, for it was the first game won by q
minor League club from an Association team.
O'Day pitched Toledo into victory, and was
largely responsible for the club winning the
championship of the Northwestern league.
In 1884 Toledo joined the Association, and he
was again member of that team. In 1885
he was member of the Pittsburg club, and
from there he went to Washington. Hs was
born in Chicago.

the stage for seven generations before this
band of twenty-five arrived on the scene;
and, so far as l can learn, they all became
players or playwrights too.
Away back in the Jacobite days, when men
were alive who could remember Shakespeare,
Dthere were Robertsons going from booth to
booth, playing now in some great hall, now
in the galleried court yard of some tavern,
now rich, now poor, but always welded to
the actor life and belonging by instructive
preference to the actor caste. Mrs. Kendal's
grandfather was a Brahmin in this caste-a
man of force and financial acumen-who
built eight theatres in the Lincolnshire circuit
and aspired to make his son a solicitor-per-
haps-whO knowsl-to found a county family.
This son duly became a solicitor; then he mar
ried a German lady who dearly loved the
stage, and so he followed where all the i'm
pulses of heredity drew him and went on the
stage himself, and then there came twenty
two children, who also swarmed towards the
footlights as duclings go to the pond-and
so, instead of a serious solicitor, with views
on ground game and county politics, there
were more Robertsons on the stage than ever.
