A Biblical Injunction Which Has
Been Observed In M~ny Cases.
The palm for multiple child bearing

that short space of time, has become
the mother Of seventeen children. Tie
last edition to this was a set of trim
lets, born on March IL of this year.
Mrs. Miller was married on Oct. 10.
1883, and since that time has given
birth to this numerous family, which
are divided as follows: Three sets of
triplets, nine; three sets of twins, six,
and two singles, two. Mrs. Miller is
not yet thirty-one years Of age. In
searching the annals Of the world for
material that will attest the approprl-
ateness and peculiar fitness Of the
above title, 1t Is found that Nine. de In
Riva of Florence, Italy, gave birth to
eight children on Sept. 8, 1907. Nine.
f~rescobaidi, another FlOrentine lady,
who lied in 1870, was the mother of
ffty-two children, no fewer than three
being born at any II time, four and
five at a single birth being nothing un-
usual with the madame, and at one
time six. In Aubray's Natural His
tory Of Wiltshire" QIngland) there is
an account Of the Boham family,
Thomas and Edith. Edith bad twins
and tliplets OH numerous occasions,
and finally astonished all Wiltshire by
giving birth to seven children at one
time. There is n tradition to quote
from Aubrey, which Is recorded in the
parish register, that all the seven chill
lren were brought together to the font
of h church and there baptized" The
Gentleman's Magazine for March II,
1913, Is authority for the statement
that the wife Of Pierre Duisain of
Verchoq, department OF Pas-de-Calais,
France, was the mother Of six children,
three boys and three girls, all of whom
were born at a single birth. "A lady"
(name not given-see "Statistician'' for
1889, page 500, at Xenia, Ohio, in the
year 1850 gave birth to five children
at one time, Mrs. James McElmore
who lived at TeXarkana, Ark, in the
year 1883 had become the mother of q
family of nine children, all within the
short space of three years, the last ar
rival being a trio of girls. Mrs. Phoebe
Lynch, who was living at Seymour

chiiuren at two births, eighteen months
apart. The last four, two boys and
two girls, were born on April 80, 1883

tried to believe that there was more
truth than falsehood in the song the
boys used to sing about the good time
coming by and by. For the past six
years I have been employed in a big
factory where about forty other women
like me made the cheap underclothing
you ladies find on the bargain counters
Mt special sales. l have had to work
harder than usual for a year or two
back, because my sister has been sick.
She took a dreadful cold n night,
being caught out in a rainstOrm II
night with leaky shoes and no rubbers,
and for fifteen months she lay dying
in out little two-rocmed lat up on Dl-
vcrsey street. There wasn't much sun
shine ever found its way into the room,
and there was q bad smell from the
grocery shop underneath, where they
were never very careful about their
rotting vegetables, or perhaps she might
have got we'll. But folks like her and
me don't count much In this world.

But all this isn't telling you about
what I started to tell. After my sister
died the firm where l work were
awfully kind, and gave. me q weeks
holiday with full pay. I vas thankful,
of course, but / didn't know exactly
what to do with SO much time. I had
been 80 used to getting up early that
I found I couldn't sleep o wink after
6 o'clock, and the days seemed as
though they never would end. I was
sitting in my Don one morning about
. fortnight ago when one of my friends,
who was staying home. with a felon on
her finger, dropped in and proposed to
60 up to the worlds fair.
TITS a lovely day." said she, land
We'll have a grand time; come alOng!"
At first l thought I oughtn't to 60,
because the funeral expenses of my
sister had left me pretty well closed
up, but when I thought 1t over for five
minutes I concluded I would 50 and put
a little mite of faith In providence for
the rest. 20
My friend said that she would stop
in at the bakery and buy a lunch, and
il I would get ready quick she would
meet me at the Van Buren, street via
duct at IL o'clock sharp. At first we
thought we would 60 by boat, for that
seemed to be the pleasanter way. but
when we counted the 5 cents additional
cost we decided to take II of the Fly
ers."
I found my friend waiting for me at
the foot OF the incline, and she was as
glad to e me Is though we had been
separated O year.

Judge Chase of Vermont was q man
Of excellent sense, and a great stickler
for the dignity Of courts.
At one time a cas Of very trifiing i'm
p~ortance, which had well-nigh run the
gauntlet Of adjudication, came before
the highest court in the state. The
counsel for the plaintiff was opening
with the usual apologies for q frivolous
suit, when the subject matter, Ito wit,
n turkey, Of great values' caught the
q OF the judge.

tone, strike that case from the docket.

Good graciousp, said I. "I never
knew they could do it,"
Indeed, women can do anything in
this day. They can whip any man
that's going, with his W weapons,
too, and no favor"
But they can't VOTE" said I. and
after awhile l added, and I'm glad of
it."
My friend was going to say some
thing in reply, but just then I heard
some n near us say, There goes

she had gone into a little room and shut
the door before we had a chance to
look. I was real sorry, for l have a
great respect for Mrs. Palmer. l

sides being a right good one, and I
wanted to see her.
WOman's Work.
We spent about an hour and a half
in the Woman's Building and I never
saw SO many lovely things In all nv
life. The embroidery work was so fine
you had to look at it through a magni-
flying glass to e the stitches and the
lace! Well, I never expected to get Il
sight of anything 80 delicate in my
rough.and-tumble life. You might have
drawn whole yards of it through the
eye of a darning needle almost.
We entered all the rooms up stairs
that have been fitted and furnished by
the different states. Some of these
parlors are beautiful enough to make
one sorry they are so soon to be broken
up and carted away. I declare, when
we sat down on the soft touches and
rocked in the easy chairs that are scat
tered everywhere through these apart
ments, it seemed more as if we were
in somebody's home than in the show
rooms Of n big exhibit.
We spent a good bit Of time in the
library, for my friend is quite bookish,
and has written one or two poems and
had them printed in the town papers,
too. Consequently, she took a great
deal Of interest in literary matters,
and kept me looking at bindings and
peeking through glass cases until I was
ready to drop. I liked the needlework
much better.

written by women?' I asked.

It Is the daily official work of the
car to read and sign edicts,, ukases,
laws and reports. Upon the margins
Of these documents he writes his de.
cision or his impressions with a frank
ness which makes these jottings more
characteristic Of the man than his con-
yersations with his ministers and court
iers. M. Lanin, a Russian, reports in
the Contemporary Review several Of
these marginal jottings.
...They are a set Of hogs" is a phrase
that recurs frequently. What a beast
he is!'' Is another. .Discouragingw Is
the stereotyped commentary written
B reports OF fires, OF failure OF
crops, or OF some other calamity.

disparaging remark upon the margin
OF q document prepared by his own
Imperial Council: 1.-THE Council
thought TO trick me, but they sha'n't.''
As it Isl the custom to glaze everything

when they heard OF the libel. The
state secretary was requested to ex-
plain matters to the emperor.

could hardly make any Roadway at all
for looking at the pansy beds along the
east side Of horticultural Hall. l never
saw anything SO beautiful in all my ifo.
! love pansies, anyway, and so did my
sister. l put a big bunch Of them in
her coffin and I have set out half q
dozen roots on her grave, but O, dear.
I wish she could have seen them before
abe died! There are not only thou
sands of them, but I do believe there
millions, and they are colored all the
way from royal purple to mauve, from
daffodil yellow to tawny flame; from
white to rose; and from blue black
again to purple. They f1utter their
soft wings in the air, like birds that
long to fly and cannot, and they act as
ii they had come to stay till frost.
We went through Horticultural hall
and, I declare I wanted to sit right
down and cry. There was that smell
Of ripe apples In the. air, which, along
with lilacs, is too much for me. 1t
takes me back to the only real good
time I ever had when / staid with my
grandmother a year on a farm.
The flowers inside the hall are not
SO pretty, but the palm and running
vines make q fine show It is hot as a
~lucifer match in there, anyway, and we
were glad to get out Of It.
We went outside and started across
the bridge over to wooded island. Talk
about roses! Why, we just revealed in
them for an hour. There was a big
patch there all covered with the choic-
est kind. I couldn't think of anything
but fine ladies in satin opera cloaks
and pink bonnets, gossiping together
over a green lattice. There was one
great big bush you couldn't have got
ten inside my room, and 1t was all COW
cred oyer with white blossoms like
snow. .-.
From the wooded island we tramped
away over to the art gallery. but we
had hardly time to get started through
the wonderful picture before a guard
tcld us they were going to close and We
must 60. It hardly seemed right to
shut up SO early, for 1t was only a lit
tie after 5, but, OF course we had nc
right to object. We were awfully
