would like to make suggestion touching
the resolution offered before the City Council
the City Park, and to put up handsome pa
vilon in its place 1t is certainly with the spirit
Of the times, to remove the ugly and unsightly
and to have all our surroundings harmonious,
but the iconoclast may no longer stalk about,
must as was done with Libby prison, hide the
ugly by adding on something ornamental.
The nucleus Of the old Spring Farm build
ings was put up by and for Hessian prisoners
of war during the Revolution, and though
SO old, the massive beams running the length
of the house may uphold it for another centu-
ry. So all that may be needed is. to pull
down the buildings added since, and shut in
that old hall with spacious pavilion and

Night Brain Work Injurious.

To the imaginative young writer there is
a fascination about the quietude of unin-
terrupted night work until much of its
mischief has been DONE If he has fixed
daily occupation, or is popular among his
friends, the night offers the best chance for
continued application by it's quietness and
peace. This very cessation of life's tur-
MOL and the resulting feeling of ease
should be accepted as natures preparation
for rest. Unless it is imperative, night
work should be avoided. It must be i'm
perative to the staff of morning papers,
and the question thus assumes Importance
of accomplishing the work with the least
possible expenditure Of vital force.
While by working during the day per-
sistently and deliberately an enormous
amount of copy can be thrown off, that
produced after midnight absorbs the best
part of the writer's vitality. When he
should be in the prime of his faculties he is
nervous, suffers from insomnia and his
overtaxed nervous system cannot rest, even
in artificial slumber. The natural tempta-
ton is to apply the whip of stimulation to
the jaded brain; but this is dangerous, and
at the best only transient and uncertain
remedy. The imagination answers fitfully
to this kind OF forcing; the next days crit.
ical Judgment of the results almost certain
ly will be unfavorab1e, and the mental ex-
element thus induced will probably be ex-
travagant Try to sustain the brain under
such stress rather than to excite it.-Juliat

Unconscious Education of Childhood.

Unconscious Education of Childhood.
From a study Of the time occupied in
mental acts by children old enough to I'M
derstand what is asked Of them the grad
ual development Of human faculty can be
traced, as well as the unconscious educa-
ton passed Through in nhildhnnd 0rdi
nary observation shows that children are
slow in responding to stimulus. Actual
measurements have been taken by having
children press upon a tube as soon as they
heard a sound. The average adult time for
this reaction is II of second. Children
from to years old require over half a
second to do the same thing. The times,
too, are irregular, from a minimum of one
fifth of second to a maximum of a second
or more, indicating an irregularity in the
power to fix the attention upon so artificial
task.
When the time was measured, the curve
of contraction was also written. This in
the adult is a quick, sudden stroke, occu-
plying about .34 of second. In three of
the children the movement occupied over
half again as much time, and in one child
was as long as two seconds. This suggested
test of the maximum number of pressures
a child and an adult make in a given time.
The adult makes eighteen Gin an extreme
case twenty-seven) in four seconds, while
the children averaged only nine pressures

well known in Monongalia. Amos
Lemon loved his cousin, Emma Lem
on, but the prospects for making
money rapidly OF in any quantity
being any thing but hattering,
Amos went to Uniontown to secure
work. He got a job, and in the
early part Of the present year sent
for his adOred Emma to come to
Uniontown, as he had everything
all arranged for a quiet wedding at
chat place, marriage license and ali.
He was too busy to leave his work,
he said. He would be happy to-day
had he not been 80 busy. Emma
agreed TO go. Amos sent convey
ance for her, with q young and
handsome driver. The day follow
ing the driver and Emma journeycd
TO UniOntown, but it was q sad com
ing for Amos. Emma's first words
were that she could never marry
him that she had never loved him
with all her heart that she was sorry
but the young John who had accom-
panied her from her mountain home
possessed the great wealth Of her
affection. Amos burned the IL
censc before the eyes Of his erstwhile
loved one, and the aforc said loved
one left next morning with her now
fond lover. Arrangements arc now
being made for wedding at Glades-
vile. Miss Lennon is to be one
Of the contracting parties. but her
cousin Amos is not.
