WHY He WASTED.
Wallace Was Frightened Into
Decline at the County Jail.

When ex-Special Police Officer Wallace
was brought over from San Quentin the
other day, or habeas corpus, his former as
sOciates were very much surprised at his
wonderful gain In health and flesh. for while
iEcarcerated u the County Jail awaiting the
determination OF his case he was constantly
falling.
1t was supposed al the time that the terri
bic end hanging over him was tie prime
cause Of his wasting away. Il Is now
learned, however, that this suTmise was not
the fact and The authority for il is one Of

He says that Wallace was in the habit OF
exercising daily in the corridors, and that in
his walks he was obliged TO pass the cell of
one Emma Rose. Emma did not like the
man and was wont to taunt him with his
crime and remind him Of the forthcoming
doom. One day she became unusually
abusive and told him that she. l0nged for
Tie day OF bis hanging to arrive that she
might sing while tie Langman was adjusting

Wallace never showed himself ia the cor
TdOT again, ana II was his refusal TO exer-
else that caused his health to decline. The

Quentin have evidently restored It.

Learning to Walk.

People sometimes ask at what age
can we seat a child in a chair; when
put him on his legs; how old must
he be before we teach him to walk?
The answers are easy: He must not
be made to sit till he has spOntane-
ously sat up in his bed and has been
able to hold his seat. This some
times happens in the sixth or seventh
month, sometimes later. The sitting
position is not without danger, even
when he takes it himself; imposed
prematurely upon him, it tires the
backbone and may interfere with the
growth, so the child should never be
taught to stand or to walk. That is
his affair, not ours. Place him on
carpet in a healthy room or in the
open air. and let him play in freedom,
roll, try to go ahead and feet, or go
backward, which he will do more sue
cessfully at first; it all gradually
strengthens and hardens him. Some
day he will manage to get upon them,
and then to raise himself up against
the chairs. He thus learns to do all
he can as fast as he can, and no more.
But they say, he will be longer in
learning to walk if he is left to go on
MS knees or MS ndnuS anu IeeG lnGeu-
nitely. What difference does it make
if, exploring the world in this way,
he becomes acquainted with things,
learning to estimate distances,
strengthens his legs and back, pre-
pares himself, in short, to walk bet
ter when he gets to walking? The
important thing is, not whether he
walks now or then, but that he learn
to guide himself, help himself, and to
have confidence in himself I hold,
without exaggeration, that education
Of the character is going on at the
same time with training in lOcomo-
| ton, and that the way one learns to
walk is not without moral impor-
lance. Popular Science Monthly.

Better than He Expected.

Boston has the reputation Of being
a city of unusual culture. No doubt
this reputation is deserved; but Bos-
tonians do not, as the humorous
photographers so frequently intimate,
converse in the street in Greek, or
conduct their business affairs in
Latin. This was just the impress
sion, however, which a visitor to the
modern Athens recently received.
He was from one of the mountain
districts Of the South, and was visit
ing Boston for the first time. He
strolled about the city, taking in its
sights, getting lost in its winding
streets, and thoroughly enjoying
himself.
He was walking. shortly after his
arrival, along the lower part Of Wash
ington street, when the old State
House, Nesting so demurely among
its neighbors, attracted his atten-
ton. He did not know that he was
standing before one Of the oldest and
most historic buildings in America.
Situated as it is in a busy part of
a business street, he took it simply
for a store of some kind, differing
from those about it only in being less
pretentious. In fact, he did not no
tice the building itself so much as the
words that stood out in large gilt let
tiers across its front.
This inscription, which was very
properly placed on the veneer
able building some years ago, is the
motto Of the State. 1t shows at
once the spirit Of liberty that domin-
ated our forefathers, and the troub-
lous times through which the young
republic had to pass before it's indie
pendence was secured. 1t reads:
"Ense petit placidam sub libertate
quietem.
The stranger gazed at the mysteri-
Gus words for some time, spelling
them out backward and forward, but
utterly failed to extract any meaning
from them. Finally he called to a
newsboy who was hurrying by, "Say,
bub, what's that say up there?"
why" said the boy, that's

Before the evening fell, the lesson
was over, and the mere announcement
that it was so fell like a cloud over the
spirit of the pupil. The new atmosphere
in which for two hours he had found
himself made him feel as though he
would never tire, if it could only con-
tinue on and on forever. Helen had
said nothing to him that was not in the

A traveller in Norway says that the
horses in that country have a very
sensible way Of taking their food,
which perhaps may be beneficialiy
followed here. They have a bucket
of water put down beside their al
Iowance of hay. It is interesting to
see with what relish they take a sip
of the one and mouthful Of the
other alternately, sometimes only
moistening their mouths, as ration
al being would do while eating a din
ner of such dry food. A broken
winded horse is scarcely ever seen in

the mode of feeding has not some
thing to do with the preservation of

General Pulaski, now part of the
records of American history, who, when
the King of France sent a feet to CO.
operate with the Americans, TO retake
Savannah from the British, fell on the
very spot where to-day stands the Cen

by, too, fell Jasper, who had on other
occasions displayed his courage In the

story told of Jasper, with which a very
few are familiar. His gallant exploit.
in rescuing some American prisoners,
from British guard, at a spring about
two miles from Savannah, where the
party had stopped to partake of refresh
ments, compares favorably with his re-
placement of the flag at Fort Moultrie
on a sponge staff, after it had been shot
away by the British, in the face of q
CALLING fire from the enemy.
Hearing that number of American
prisoners were to be brought from Eben-
eyer (the settlement above alluded to
twenty miles west of Savannah), to that
city for trial, Jasper determined to run
the gauntlet of chances for their release.
With man named Norton, as his COM

party at the spring, about thirty yards
