The Grievous Mistakes OF Famous Rev
olutionary Generals wife.
The wife OF General Henry Knox was
brilliant woman in society, much ad.
mired and deferred 10 by General and
Mrs. Washington, hut person Of very
naughty and worldly temper. When
her husband resigned his Office as Sec
rctary OF War under Washington, he re-
moved TO Thomaston. Me-. where he had
acquired an extensive property, and
where he now proceeded to build man
sion at cost OF fifty thousand dollars.
The General himself was Of a social
disposition, and not above mingling
with the poorest OF his worthy neigh
bors; but his wife made no visits, and
exchanged no civilitics- As the histo-
rian says, she used 10 ride out In her
coach, the only one in tho noighbor-
hood, but always returned homo without
alighting, ''lilso Noah's dove"
General Knox habitually went to
church, and one day invited the preach
er--an "exchange"-home TO dine with
him. As they entered the dining-room
they found Mrs. Knox seated at tho ta-
bic.

Confusion arises occasionally when

Confusion arises occasionally when
year like 1900 is discussed, as to
whether or not 1t is leap year. This
is the rule: Every year of which tho
number is dlvisible by without ro-
mainder is leap year, excepting tho
centennial years, which are leap years
only when so diyisible after suppressing
the two zeroes. Therefore, 1900 was
leap year 10 being divisible by with
out .romaindor; and so 1000 will be
leap year. I.ut 1900 and 1900 were COM
mon years, and so will 1900 be; because
Ia, is and 10 are not diyisiblc by 4 with
out remainder.

PARENT AND CHILD.
The Confidence of Children Necessary
Their Proper Government.


The Confidence OF Children Necessary to
Their Proper Government.
Rebellion and insubordination on the
part of children frequently result from
lack of confidence on the part of parents.
Children are dependent creatures and
like advice better than they appear to;
but when timid child realizes that its
confession of fault will be repeled by
harshness or ridicule, the heart is hard
ened and shuts upon thoughts and i'm
pulses which are dangerous tenants.
Occasionally child seems to have an
abnormal inclination to lie, but any ono
who has had long experience in dealing
with all sorts OF character and dispose
ton can testify that where there is one
liar by defective moral nature, there are
thousand who lie through fear and in
ability to endure punishment This is
particularly true OF delicate children.
Every nerve in tho frail body recoils
from the blow which will follow upon
the confession OF misconduct.
The super-sensitive Imagination
which goes with such temperament peo-
pies the darkness to which the offender
is banished with horrors that chill the
blood. Half that they suffer can never
be estimated. A woman of more than
average intelligence once said that in
all her after life, she had never suffered
as when she was sent to bed in the dark,
thirsting for the faintest glimmer of
light that might have dispeled the hor-
rible fancies which took possession OF
her brain. She had read Pope's tale of
premature burial, and it haunted her
for months. Yet she dared not 20 to
her parents, confess it and feel that
they would comprehend that her suffer-
ing was actual and real.
'If ever have children Of my own,"
she said, "they shall have light in
their room at night, II they ask for it,
and, beside this, shall encourage them
to tell me of their troublesome fancies,
l shall treat them with respect, how
ever absurd the fancies may be-"
There is another point upon which
parents do not always take care to in
form themselves, and that is the asso-
ciates whom their children have chosen.
luo JcHuoHOJ VI blo tiiucS 10 W loFoA aiA
social distinctions, whatever labor agi-
tators may say to the contrary. No
where is this so apparent as in the pub
lie schools, whore boys neighbor may
be of the lowest or of the highest char
acter. One week of bad association will
taint sympathetic and retentive mind
for life. Habits will DO inculcated that
the most careful aitertraining can never
overcome, and tendencies developed
which can never be checked. 1t is q
strange and oft-repeated axiom that
disease and not health, is contagious,
and evil exam plos are apparently much
more readily followed than the good.
Children should be encouraged to talk
TO their parents freely and unreservedly
of what they think and what they do.
The morally weak should have aid and
sympathy. No punishment should ever
follow the confession Of fault, how
ever grevious, the effort which 1t prob
ably took to tell the truth should be
recognized and the moral sense strength
ened by commentator put into wise
and tender words. s.-Chicago Inter-Ocean.

MINUTE HANDWRITING.

Notable Examples of Delicate Penman-
ship, Both Ancient and Modern.
Pliny, the elder, that indefatigable
worthy, sever young and ever fresh,"
relates that Cicero once saw the Had of
Homer in nutshell. Huet, the English
antiquarian, whose pleasure it was to
search out the improbable, acknowledges
that after much study, he has proved it
to have been possible. He says; "a
piece of vellnm ten inches in length and
eight in width, plant yet firm, can be
folded and inclose in nutshell, using
large walnut. a pioce of vellum this
size can hold in its breadth ono line,
which can contain thirty verses, and in
Hopkinsville Kentuckian., 1890-05-16

its length two hundred and fifty lines.
With a crow-quill the writing can be
perfect. A page OF such piece Of vel
lum will then contain seven thousand
| five hundred verses, and the reverse as
much-the entire fifteen thousand verses
of the Iliad."
This was proved by Huet before COM
pany OF scholars and nobility, In tho
presence of the Dauphin, by using a
piece Of paper and q common pen.
Menage, linguist and literary man,
q contemporary with Huet records hav-
ing seen whole sentences not perceptible
except with microscope, pictures and
portraits appearing to be only lines and
scratches thrown down at random. One
such formed the face OF the dauphiness
with pleasing delicacy and correct re-
semblance, moreover, poem in praise
of this royal lady, containing some
thousands of verses written by an off,
Ger, was put into the space of eighteen
inches.
1t is recorded that In the reign of
Queen Bess many were astonished at
the exhibition Of the whole Bible put
into an English walnut no bigger than
q hens egg. "The nut boldeth the,
book; there are as many leaves in this
little book as in the great Bible, and
there be written as much in one Of these,
little leaves as in great leaf Of the
Bible" 1t is mentioned that this won-
derful unreadable copy OF the Bible
was seen by many thousand people.
The library Of st. Johns College, Ox-i
ford, contains another unique bit OF
handicraft. 1t is drawing OF the head
OF Charles l., wholly composed Of writ
ten characters so minute that at little
distance the delicate strokes resemble,
the lines OF an engraving. The lines Of
the head and the ruff are said to con-
tain the book of Psalms, the creed, and
the Lords prayer.
The portrait of Queen Anne In tho
British museum is another instance Of
success in minute penwork. This lilli-
putian drawing, hardly larger than
ones hand, develops upon its surface
countless lines and scratches, which the
official in charge assures the question
ing public includes the entire contents
of a thin folio, which in this way is car.
ried in the hand. d.-Harper's Bazaar.

Indla's Miraoulous stone.

Some time ago Joseph j. Speck, OF
Kansas City, learned OF the existence of
a certain miraculous stone found in
Southern India which would heal
wounds Of all kinds, particularly snake
and dog bites, and any sore from which
hydrophobia or lockjaw might result.
To learn more Of the wonderful curative
powers OF the stone, Mr.. Speck ad-
dressed a letter to q native of Bombay.
The Hindoo replied that the stone is
supposed to be found in q serpent's head,
and is rarer and more valuable than the
most costly gem. The Hindoos and the
wild, savage natives place great faith in
its power, and guard it as sacredly and
carefully as they do their idols and gods
of metals. The owner Of this particu-
lar stone advertised it and offered it for
sale in an American newspaper, and it
was this advertisement that Mr. Speck
saw. The owner of the stone wants
fifty thousand dollars for it.-Chicago
Herald.
