 GRASS

When the evening shadows creep and
 lay n,e down to sleep As backward my memory flies so fast We are wandering down the lane to hear
 their sad refain The chirrup of the crickets in the grass. remember when child how in accents
 loud and wild As wandered gay and free little lass, We would mock their lonesome song, when
 the evening hours were long The sad music of the crickets in the grass. But some of them are sleeping now with
 the daisies on their brow And those happy hours are gone for aye,
 and past And I'll never join again the merry merry
 train That listened to their music in the grass. For Zenith has passed away, and am grow
 ing grey And time on it's way does merrily pass And I'd give the world to be, once again as
 gay and free As when first heard the music in the
 grass.

 A Record of the Baptis. se che CAil- drsn of Lawrence washingsoa. At tho visit of the 0t Albans Archaeological society to the parish church recently it was . matter of surprise to find that tho baptismal register contained the names of two children of Lawrence Washington, brother of Robert Washington, auces- tor of the first president of the United States. Lawrence Washington was the Registrar of the High Court of Chancery, and evidently lived in the parish for many years. His wife Martha was the daughter of Clement Newce. who resided at Much Hadham Holl. Clement Newce's gravestone, which attracted some attention from the visitors. still lies in it's original position in the nave in front of the chancel screen. The curious extract from the will of Clement Newce re- specting his funeral we take from the Much Hadham Church Monthly. It runs thus:
 My bodie to be buried in such place within the parish church of Much Hadham, in the Co. of Herts, as it shall please Almighty God to provide and ordaine for me by the dis erection of my executors. And l will that a-stone be layed upon my grave, and that thereon be fixed in plates graved with the pictures of myself and wife, and all my children, and the armes of London. the mercers armes, the armes of fflaunders. and mine owne armes at the discretion of my executors. Item-I will that my bodie shall be buried in the fornave of the pish church of Much Hadham nigh unto my grandfather and father shortlie after my decease, witht any manner pompe, or pride by the dis erection of mine executors, and i'm medtlie after my bodie buried, I will that some famous godlie learned man ln divinitie so preach a sermon to the Laude and Praise of Almighty God, to the setting forth of His most holie and blessed word, and to the declaration of my faith and testimonie in the same and l give unto the preacher that shall preach the same for his paines- taking in that behalfe tenne shillings. And 1 will that at the end of the sayd sermon the singers in the Quire shall sing ore godlie psalme to the Laude and Praise of Almighty God Item.-I will have no mourners but Mary my wife, Will liam Newce my some and his wife Mary Dymocke, my son Clement Newce and all other my children being of reasonable age. and the overseer of this my present testament and last will" The rector who in all proba- bility read the burial service at the grave of Clement Newce and deliver ed the funeral sermon was Dr. Newell, dean of St Paul cathedral. who con- piled several church catechisms and was incumbent of the Hadhams from 1862 to 1889.

Proved His Capacity,

Some years ago. Gen. John w. Cor ooran was engaged to defend. before a country justice, a boy of nine years. who had been arrested on the charge of killing horse. The animal had been driven down hill at very rapid pace, and. as Corcoran still maintains, the wagon had suddenly jumped for ward and killed him.
 ''Now. your honor is. of course, aware, said Corcoran. after consider able evidence had been adduced. .sthat until seven years of age child is not considered capable in law of commit ting a crime; between seven and four teen he may be adjudged capable il capacity can be proven. respectful ly submit your honor. that in this case capacity has not been proven, and on that ground ask the discharge of my client"
 That is a very good point very good point Mir Corcoran. remarked the court sagely. and collectively scratching his head; and for moment it seemed as if the lawyer for tho de. fense had won.
 "But--but sir. the horse was killed. wasn't he?"
 He died" admitted Corcoran. The old mans eye gleamed rather too triumphantly for that of judge. And II the boy killed him, didn'' that prove capacity ?'-Boston Globe

Electricity In the Home.

The extent to which electricity is entering into modern home life may be inferred from the fact that book has just been published on Deco rative Electricity, by woman who has made q special and practical study of the subject. The author is Mrs. J. F. II. Gordon, wife of a prom inent English electrical engineer, and she speaks out of the fullness of some ten years experience with electric lighting.
 Few people have an idea of the ex. tent and refinement to which the de tails of the new art of illumination has been carried, but when Mrs. Cor don can show a neat little arrange ment for the cooking range, by means of which a light can be put inside any kettle or saucepan to see how it's con- tents are getting along, it is evident that the day is at hand when we can enjoy these new convenienees of the bedroom, parlor and kitchen.
 Incidentally, too, Mrs. Gordon speaks of electric hair curriers', and it Is the fact that electric heating ap- paratus is already finding it's way in to houses, as, for instance, in the shape of little stoves for making a cup of coffee, foot warmers for the bed, cigar lighters, etc. It has been shrewdly remarked that there are two good reasons for the popularity of electricity among the ladies of the household.
