A Mothers Way.

When the Rev. Horace Bushnell was
q boy, he was very DESTROYS of knowing
something about music. No one In the
family could teach him, however, and
his mother, with that divine patience
and insight which belong to mothers in
general, found that If the lad was to
have his wish at all it must be through
her. She obtained q book and soon
taught him all she knew-the scale, the
keynote and how to find it, and the ime
Of the notes.
This was only book learning" how
ever, and the question was to adapt it
to the use of the voice. Little Horace
wanted to sing by note, and that his
mother could not teach him. She could
sing by ear, however, and the two hit
upon q species of reverse process. The
mother sang familiar tunes, and the boy
watched the notes, observing how the
intervals and time ran along, and, az he
expressed it. ''soon began almost to sing
with as"
And FROM singing airs they knew into
notes that bore no meaning they finally
learned to sing airs they did not know
out of similar notation. The method
had been unlocked, and further progress
was easy. The mothers heart had foun6
ont the way.-Youth's Companion.

A NEW ApJuTANT GENERAL.

The Record of general Ruggies. Who Sue
ceeds General Williams, Retired.
An old soldier with creditable record
is George D.. Ruggles, colonel and brevet
brigadier general, who was recently APP
pointed adjutant general of the army on
the retirement for age of General Robert
Williams. General Ruggles is a native
of Newburg, N. Y and was graduated
from the Military academy at West
Point in 1855 and commissioned second
lieutenant of infantry the same year.
His first duty was at frontier posts in
Minnesota, Dakota and Nebraska, among
the Chippewa and Sioux Indians, and in
1858 he was acting adjutant general of
the department of the west.
General Ruggles' war service began as
acting ad~jutant general of q brigade IN

1852 he was ON duty in the Office Of the

The next AMERICAN COUNTESS.


Miss Adele Grant Betrothed TO the Earl or
Essex.
Another international wedding" Ia on
the carpet. The bride of this n Is to
be Miss Adele Grant, an American girl
more celebrated for her beauty than her
wealth, who will be married before
Christmas TO the Earl OF Essex. Miss
Grant is a daughter of the late David
Beach Grant, and created a sensation
when she made her debut in New York
society a number of years ago. Her
mother is a daughter of the late General
Stewart and q niece of the late Tom
Scott of Pennsylvania railroad fame.

LIQUID Oxygen.

Liquid oxygen when first formed is
milky in appearance, owing to the pres
ence of some impurity which may be re-
moved by passing it through ordinary
filter paper. When pure, it is of a pale
blue color, which, however, is not due,
as some have thought, to the presence of
liquid ozone, which is of a dark blue col
or. Liquid oxygen is a nonconductor of
electricity, but is strongly magnetic. 1t
may be lifted from a cup by presenting
the poles of a strong electromagnetic. 1t
seems t. have very slight chemical &c
t.vity, since it will extinguish a lighted
match and has no action on a piece OF
phosphorus dropped into it. 1t is well
known that the A and B lines of the
solar spectrum are due to oxygen. and
from recent experiments on the top OF
Mount Blanc it is thought they are
largely if not wholly due to the Oxygen
in the earth's atmosphere. Professor
Dewar showed that these lines come out
very strong when liquid oxygen is inter
posed in the path of the rays from al
electric lamp.-Science.

Frogs Eat Wasps.

Some time ago | discovered accidental
ly that frogs are voracious eaters of
wasps. Ihave in my garden a tank for
watering, with an island of rockwork,
which is a favorite haunt of the frogs.
The wasps just now are carrying on a
raid against my fruit, and when / wish
to crafty at once my revenge and my
frogs I catch a marauder between a post
card and an inverted wine glass, carry
him off to the tank, wet his wings to pre-
zen his flying, and set him on the rock
work before the frogs.
After a moments pause a frog ad-
vances. and in an instant the wasp has
disappeared, drawn into the frogs mouth
by a single dart of his long tongue. Oc-
casionally the wasp reappears, wholly or
partially, having made it unpleasant for
the frog, but he is almost always swal-
lowed in the end. Usually convuisive
movements may be noticed in the frogs
throat and body, as though the process
of deglutition were not quite easy, but
that they like the diet is evident from
the fact that a single smallish frog has
been known to take three wasps, one aft
er another.
Indeed it is remarkable what very
small frogs, quite infants, will swallow
u wasp with avidity. This afternoon
tiny frog swallowed a full grown wasp
when a big relative went for him quit
savagely, like a big schoolboy thrashin!
a small one for presuming to be helpet
before him.-R. E. Bartlett in Londoi

MISS ADELE GRANT.

Miss Grants features are familiar to
many Europeans and Americans through
Hubert Herkomer's famous portrait OF
her, which took q prize at Munich and
was exhibited in the English gallery at
the Columbian exposition. The peculiar
shade of the gown and gloves in this
painting is said to have been responsible
! for the fashionable fad known in Eng
land as .'the soiled glove craze"
The announcement of her approaching
marriage has recalled ~recollections OF
Miss Grants engagement several years
ago to the late Earl of Cairns and the
unpleasant notoriety caused by the dis
graceful conduct of that titled cad, who
not only had a shameful ENHANCEMENT
with a pretty actress, Miss Fortescue,
but permitted his jewelers. to send te
Miss Grants family their bill for his
wedding present. The invitations fol
the wedding were out, but they were re.
called, and Miss Grant during the fol
