DEATH CLAIMED HER.

Mrs. Eugene j. Gregory Passes Away
at an Early Hour This Morning.
The announcement of the death of
Emma, the wife of ex-Mayor Eugene J.
Gregory. of this city, will come to thou
sands in Sacramento and the State as
personal grief. Mrs. Gregory was a
woman of lovable qualities in remarka-
BILE number. So many graces of charac-
ter are seldom found in so retiring per-
son as her friends recognized in Mrs
Gregory. All her life she had lived in
this city, yet in the entire community not
one person can be found who, knowing
her as maiden, wife or mother, has not al
ways esteemed and admired her. She
was amiable almost TO a fault; loving
humanity, her sympathy for her race was
unbounded; gentle at all times, cheerful,
hopeful, under circumstances that would
undo others, she yet was courageous in
the justice of her judgments, and the
maintenance of her ideals of right and of
purity.
She was more than an affectionate wife
and mother; her heart enshrined those
Gear TO her as treasures for which no sac
rlhce was too great. She was an unpre-
tentious woman, never pushing herself to
the front Of attention, and yet command
ing by her high womanly qualities, her
gentle and deeply sympathetic nature,
her sunny disposition and her purity of
life, the love and respect of all who knew
her. She was known in Sacramento as
only the good, modest and forbearing
woman can be known. She was known
in many other communities in the State
also, where the light of her presence had
been shed and the gentle influence of
her character felt.
Neither by taste nor training was she
inclined to dwell in the strong light of
publicity. Her domestic life, her broad
circle of loving friends, the offices of
good-doing within her reach IN her COM
launity were sufficient for her, and in
thom she lived radiantly, though so un-
pretentiously.
Mrs. Gregory has been i'll with peri
tonitis for over three weeks, and passed
away at O'Clock this morning, sur
rounded by weeping relatives and
friends. She leaves one son, Julius E.,

method has some advantages, also some
objections. In deciding where to go, for
instance, to learn German, the Berlin cult
will say: "In Bavaria the language is not
spoken SO purely as in northern Ger
many"; while the south German habit
ant claims the better accent, the Saxon
and Austrian Germans have each local
claims; but, in point of fact, German is
well spoken and well taught by educated
people throughout the German empire;
yet, IN each separate province, peasants
and laborerS and their children speak
dialects, which are as distinct as are the
languages of the different tribes of Amer

pension or boarding-s school is the in
sufficient diet. European cooking is so
different from American, and, at first, so
unpalatable, that young girls who. ought
to have appetizing and nourishing food,
and plenty of it, could not be sufficiently
fed. Then. again, though these schools
guard very carefully their pupils, asso-
Citations with girls so differently taught

not have been the best; also, the absence
of home and religious helps, is vital OBJ

the English-speaking pupils associate,

A Trua insect Voice.

Several species of insects have apparat-
us for producing sounds similar to that of
the grasshopper or notifications of it.
OF a different type is that with which the
cicadas are endowed-the only creatures
Of this class which have vocal apparatus
analogous to those of the higher animals.
Only the males of this family are singers,
for which the Greek poets called them
happy because their females were dumb.
With the ancients a cicada sitting on a
harp was the symbol of music. A pretty
fable tells of the contest between two
cithara players, in which the curious
event happened that when one of the
contestants broke a string, singing ci-
cada sprang on his harp and helped him
out so that he gained the prize. The
Greeks, who shut the insects in cages SO
as to be sung by them in their sleep, were
at odds concerning the nature of their
singing apparatus, and the controversy
among the naturalists on the subject
lasted till very recently. The zoologist
II. Landois, who investigated the difficult
subject of animal sounds with eeaseless
industry and great skill, was able to give
a satisfactory solution to the question.
According to his research, the case is one
in which the sound is really made by air
circulating through passages in the in
terror Of the body. Every insects body
is penetrated by a system of breathing
tubes or trachee which open at places on
the surface. The openings are called
stigmata. This system of breathing-tubes,
through which the air is inspired and ex-
pired, takes the place Of the lung of the
higher animals. Landois discovered them
in very obscure parts of the cicada, and
found that they form kind Of windpipe
representing the actual tone-factory of
the animals.-Popular Science Monthly.

Such movement would, in the long

create predisposition in favor of church

The Honlely Wonnnn

Homely women are always more enter
tanning than pretty specimens of the fair
sex. The latter rely on their beauty to
carry them through the world, and it
generally does until they get married,
IWhen, 1t commonly fails them. The
homely girl, knowing she has no beauty
her mind; she learns some accomplish
ment, becomes clever artist or pianist,
reads good deal and so learns to con-
verse readily and well. She is better
company than the pretty girl, for the
beauty does not think it worth her
trouble to be entertaining, as she has spent
all al, her efforts IN trying to look pretty.
Inc beauty may make good wife, but
the chances are that she will learn moth
ing alter marriage and so will soon be-
come dull and uninteresting. The ugly
glrl, with little brains, stands as fair a
chance of getting good husband as her
pretty sister and much better prospect
OF having happy home.
