Why has Rhode Island two capitals?

GRoGLS.
The present two capitals of Rhode Island
are simply survivals of the five capitals
which the smallest State of the Union had
not so many years ago. Rhode Island, un-
| like the other old States, was not settled by
any one organization or collection OF organi-
| cations, but, as its legal name still shows,
| is made up of q number of Separate colonies.
| The State officially is called "The State of
| Rhode Island and the Providence Planta-
| tions, and there were three of these planta-
tions. To prevent dissensions and local jeal-
| ousies five capitals were made, Providence,
Newport, Bristol, South Kingston and East
Greenwich. The Legislature met each Nav
in Newport, and in October every alternate
year in South Kingston, and in the inter-
vening years alternately at Bristol and East
Greenwich, with an adjournment tosProvi-
dence. This complicated system TASTED
from 1842 until 1854, when the present capt.
tails were kept out of the five, the other
three being abolished.
Who was the inventor of the cradle used
in cutting grain?
The use of the word ''cradle" to denote
the knife and rack by which grain Is cut is
very ancient. The Century Dictionary
gives no date for the word, bnt quotes from
Thomas Tusser, who died in 1880. Tusser
wrote ga Hundredth Good Pointes of Hus-
bandrie," which was printed in 1857, ex-
pended in 1910, and in 1878 further ex-
panded into Five Hundredth Pointes of
Good Husbandrie United to as MANY of
Good Wiierie." In this latter book occur
these lines;
brush sythe and grass sythe. with rifle to
A cradle for barley, with rubstone and
sand.
This quotation shows the age of the word,
as well as the age of the word ''ride," to
mean a sharpening stone for scythe; this |
word Webster gives as an Americanism;
but like so many Americanisms, it proves
to be pure criticism.
Who was or is Ida Lewis: and why was
she called tile Grace Darling" of America? |
MAGGIE.
Ida Lewis was the daughter of the keeper |
of the Lime Rock Lighthouse in Newport |
harbor. She was born in 1S41; in 1859 she |
rescued four men, who had been upset from |
a small sail boat; and later in the year res
cued sailor. In 1867 she rescued three
men; in 1858 she saved a boy, and in 1862 |
with her brother, she rescued two sailors
All of these reseues were made during
stormy weather. In 1870 she married Will |
lam H. Wilson, and left her lighthouse
home, which, however, is still known as
'Ida Lewis Lighthouse Grace Darling
was the daughter Of the keeper of Long.
stone light on the Farne Islands, off the coast
of Northumberland, in England. She was
born in 1915. On September 6, 1888, with
her fathers unwilling assistance, she res
cued nine men from the steamer Forfar-
shire. She contracted consumption as a re.
suit OF her exposure, and died in 1912.

NOTES AND QUERIES.
Ths Nebular Hypothesis as 1t Ac-
counts for Earth's Rotation.

stammering Nay Usually Be Cured by the
Exercise of Will rower.
THE TRIALS OF THE HOMESTEAD MEN

No one knows with absolute certainty
what force causes the earth TO revolye upon
itsaxis. To account for the rotation and
for the whole solar system, Laplace (1749-
1920 in 1796 published his Exposition du
Systeme du Monde, wherein he sets forth
the famous ''nebular hypothesis, now gen.
orally accepted as the origin of the plane
tary system. According to this, around
the sun there was once q stupendous nebu-
lous atmosphere, filling all the space occu-
pied at present by our planetary system.
This mass is supposed to have had a move
menr of rotation on its axis. As this mass
cooled it contracted toward its center, and
rotated more rapidly.
Finally the centrifugal forces on the out
side of the mass would overcome the at
traction OF the center, and the outer parts
would assume the shape OF ring. The
process would be repeated and second
ring, and third ring, and other rings
would be formed. If the materials of each
ring were uniform the rings in cooling
would condense into liquids uniformly, so
that we should find succession of small
planets; but ii the materials were not uni
form the condensation would be more rapid
In some places than in others, so that larger
planets would be formed with satellites.
This theory accounts for the rotation of the
planets about the sun and for their rotation
upon their own axis, for when they were
formed they must have participated in the
rotation ofthe whole ne5ula, and by the SUBJ
sequent contraction of the planets by cooling
the speed with which they rotated must
have increased, so that they began to re-
volve upon themselves. Laplace's theory
is based on established laws OF physics, and
though, OF course. it cannot be proved, it is
not inconsistent with any fact, and so it is
generally accepted. A common exemplifca-
tion of the principle is seen in the rotation
of water when it passes through an opening
in the bottom of vessel. AS everyone
has noticed it takes on rotary motion.

How shall polish some COW horns which
/ have? FAIRvIEw
First serape them smooth with a sharp
knife or piece of glass; then rub them with
very fine sand paper and afterward with felt
dipped in powdered charcoal moistened with
water. Then rub the horns with powdered
rottenstone, and finish them off by rubbing
with the palm of the. hand, or with soft
wash leather and sweet oil. The palm of
the hand is often recommended to be used
in polishing because it has 'live softness''
that is wanting in wash leather, and is, as .
rule, sufficiently moist.

Is there any cure for stammeriny7

There is, if the defect is not due to some
malformation of the vocal organs, either
congcnital or acquired. As a rule, stam-
mering is due to an attempt to speak before
the speech is prepared; or directly opposite,
to the mind running ahead of the lips In
either case the cure for stammering is the
same: Speak slowly; take time; know
what you wish to say and say it. Self
stammering; it must be overcome before A
stammerer is thoroughly cured. But with
reasonable hard work stammerer can cure
himself
