turcd to put TO him, on the occasion oi
his first visit to my fathers home, at a
moment when father and mother had
left the room. Father had often told
me the story ''second-handed, but !
had longed to hear it from the Judges
own lips, and therefore improved my
first opportunity to draw it out.
AS mother entered the room, bearing
big pan filed with cleanly-wiped
Northern Spies," "Rhode Island
Greetings" and "Russets," followed by
father, with basin of cracked butter
nuts, the judge said:
flames, you've heard me tell about
John Turkey, the prescribed man,
haven't you?"
"Yes, years ago, but I've forgotten a
good deal about il" replied father, as
he and the judge settled back in their
rockers, and were helped by mother to
a plate of apples and nuts. t.
''Well, you see it was in very early
day, when Rochester was a mere vii
iage, and the country around was a
wilderness, full of big game and In
dians. was the first judge who ever
held regular court in that district, and
it was far different thing to make the
rounds of my circuit then than it is
now, I can tell you. 1t was question
of getting a thin horse and thinner
saddlebags between thick trees, while
now, with good many judges, it's a
question of family railroad passes

"You see he was half Indian, his
father being white trapper and his
mother squaw, the daughter of the

part of the country.

ABOUT PILLOWS.
Some Objections to Those In Use In This
Country.

Some Objections to Those In Use iu This
Country.
The use of pillow is not matter of
mere blind usage. 1t has physiolog-
ical basis. We sleep, for the most
part, on the side, and without pillow
the head would be uncomfortably and
harmfully lower than the body.
1t will be remembered that Jacob,
when fleeing from Esau, took stone
for pillow. He needed something
for the purpose, and nothing better
than stone presented itself. Such
practices are common in Africa at the
present day. Bishop Taylor probably
found it convenient, if not necessary,
to take up with them in his travels in
that land; for on his return to this
country he rejected the soft pillows of
his friendly hosts, and, sometimes at
least, substituted one of books.
Some people rest the neck instead Of
the head on hard pillows. In Africa
extraordinary headgears make this
practice necessary, and many civ
ilized woman has been compelled by a
somewhat similar coiffure to forego
both the pillow and the recumbent
posture.
A consideration of the physiological
reason for pillows will suggest their
proper thickness. They should merely
bring the head to natural level. Some
pillows are much too thick. BY bend
ing the neck unduly, they interfere
with the outflow of the venous blood
from the head. The pillow that just
fills up the space above the shoulder
best suits its end.
Again, pillows of feathers are objec-
tionable. While they furnish the
needed support for the head, they are
too heating, as they have a remarks BILE
capacity for holding and accumulating
heat.
1t should be remembered that more
blood, and hence more heat goes to
the head than to any other part of the
body. Head-heating pillows aye against
the wholesome maxim: Keep the feet
warm, but the head COOL" There is
nothing better than the hair pillow.
Further, the pillow is for the head,
nor for the shoulders. To rest the
shoulders on the pillow defeats the very
end for which it is used
Finally, special care should be taken
of infants in this matter. We have
seen their heads sunken deep in the
softest and thickest of pillows, and
their faces, as a natural consequence.

-r.s--' the Streets.
The history of lighting the city is

method of street lighting at all; the

Notwithstanding the ringing of the
curfew bell and the order that all lights
and fires were to be extinguished when
its sound was heard, it was soon found
that city could not conclude all it's

when darkness came over the city in

GEN. GRANTS NAME.

How 1t was Used to Impose Upon Credu-
lous Steward.
In February, 1866, when Gen. Grant
was stationed in Washington, as COM
manding general of the army, the
French minister, who S, ] occupied the
Corcoran house at the ] ;ation, issued
invitations for the most magnificent
hall which has probably ever been Civ
en- in Washington. M. Montholon, be-
ing a warn personal friend and admir-
er of Gen. Grant, issued orders to his
steward at the outset of the ball that
the general was to be treated as a
special guest of honor, and the best
wine that the cellars afforded placed at
his disposal. The next day the steward
approached the minister in great per-
plexity and inquired in an amazed way
who was this Gen. Grant to whom he
was to give the best of everything and
who had shown himself so far appreci-
ative of the honor accorded that he had
called for no less than sixteen bottles OF
champagne, nine bottles of brandy and
whisky ad libitum. The explanation
which shortly transpired was that the
order having been overheard by party
of young fellows, they took advantage
of the stewards oredulity, prefactng
every demand for the choicest liquors
with the magic announcement that it
was for Gen. Grant.-Boston Jour-

THE MOTTO IN A WEDDING RING


A lover gave the wedding ring
Into the goldsmith's hand.
"Grave me-" he said, "a tender thought
Within this golden band"
The goldsmith graved,
With careful art:
"Till death us part"
The wedding bells rang gladly out,
The husband said: "Oh, wife,
Together we will share the grief,
The happiness OF life.
give to thee
My hand, my heart,
Till death us part"
Twas she that lifted now his hand
% love- that this should beD
Then on 1t placed the golden band,
And whispered tenderly:
" Till death us join,
Lo, thou art mine
And am thinei
And when death joins we never more
Shall know an aching heart;
The bridal Of that better love
Death has no power to part.
That troth will be
For thee and me
Eternity"
So up the hill and down tie hill
Through fifty changing years.
They shared each others happiness
They dried each others tears.
Alasl Alas!
That DEATHS cold dart
Such love can part!
But one sad day she stood alone
Beside his narrow bed;
She drew the ring from OFF her haud
And to the goldsmith said:
"Oh, man who gravcd
With careful art
Till death us part
"Now grave four other words for mo:
Till death us join" He took
The precious golden band once moro
With solemn, wistful look,
And wrought with care
For love, not coin:
"Till death us ioin."
