4 VISIT TO waterloo.
Old Women stin Living on the Spot wht
&3w the Great Battle.

&aw the Great Battle.
julie Ciaretie, the administrator Of
the Coincide Fr2ncaisc, paid visit,
shortlE before his arrival in London. to
the ba.,leHeld of Waterloo, SAYS the
London Daily News. 1t was seventy
eight vco1s ago that the battle was
fought. yea H. Claretie was still able
to CLEAN something in the locality
from actual eye witnesses OF that
mighty historic event.
In tho little wine-sh0p called the
"Belle Alliance, where WELLINGTON
and Elvelcr, according to an inscrip-
ton, mot and saIuted after their Vic
tory, he round two old women engaged
in darniug stocl1ings. They appeared
to take very little notice of strangers,
but, on being Questioned. the elder of
the two declared that she was over
ninety years OF ace.
Il was twelve years old" she said.
''at the time OF the battle. was liv-
ing with Ioy parents at Planccnoit. We
took reluge all Of us, on the Friday in
the WOOL with the cattle. twas on Sun
day tbeT -oaght. 1t was just after my
first communion, and on the day of st.
Donna. q saint in whose honor there
is Il pilgrimage in the neighborhood
When all was over we went out and
saw dead bodies everywhere. At night
after the battle there was a storm. The
bodies became swollen through the
rain, and there were fears of pesti-
lence They were buried in heaps,
with dry branches between each layer,
and then the branches We're set fire to,
or quielllime was poured in the
trenches"

Wedding Fees.

The Trenton True American has been
talking with some New Jersey dom
inies about wedding fees. One re-
ceived for such service in mono
grained envelope bridge toll ticket
of the value of two cents. Another got
something neatly wrapped in paper.
He took it to a grocer, told him that it
was a wedding fee, chat he had not
opened it and did not know what it
was, but would give it to him, 'sight
unseen" for a watermelon. The
grocer agreed, the dominic seized his
melon and the grocer found in the
paper a silver three-cent piece. One
groom, as he passed out with his bride,
threw into the work-basket an old pair
of gloves, saying to the minister's wife
that she might have them. The min
listers wife looked at them with scorn
and contempt. A few days later, how
ever, wishing to do some gardening,
she thought the despised old gloves
might be useful after all. She at
tempted to put them on and found a
difficulty. In every one of the fingers
there was a fve-dollar bill.

JUMPING GIRAFFES.
They Were Puzzled and Frightened at the
Discharge of Firearma.

Discharge of Firearms.
1t used to be an amusement, and
also duty, to me to try and show the
animals to native gentlemen when
they came from their country seats to
visit Calcutta, and invariably invited
them to come with me to see the zoo,
says writer in Longman's Magazine.
l think that the giraffes puzzled them
most. One fine old Hindoo nobleman,
with whom l have many time been
out tiger shooting on his own proper
ty, suggested that the giraffe was a
new sort of tiger, but he was comfort
ed and convinced when he saw them
eat the branch of tree from my
hand. | wish that he could have been
present to witness a performance by
this pair of giraffes, which | did not
see myself, though fortunately Lord
William Beresford saw it and told me
of it.
On the morning of the queens birth
day Beresford was riding past the
giraffe Enclosure when feu de ioie
was fired by the soldiers of native
infantry regiment, whose quarters are
not far from the zoo.
At the first round of the firing the
giraffes were startled. When the Sec
ond round came they took to their heels
and jumped clean over the fence of up
right gurrGn or waffle sticks, about
ten feet high, that surrounded their
Enclosure.
When the third round came the gil
RATES. were so puzzled that they turned
round and popped over the fence again
and sought refuge in the house in
which they were lodged at night. 1t is a
great pity that a sportsman and rider
like Lord William Beresford, who saw
this strange sight. had not mount on
one of the giraffes.

Two S2oEAoSs scenes trsnS Out q Glow
Of Enthusiasm.
a Traveller IN the heart of the Andes
tells. in Tropical America" how he
relieved his feelings when. having
assembled the Paramillos, he found
himself 1t the summit nine thousand
feet above the sea level.
The scenery had increased in gran
deur every hour since daybreak, and
now two magnificent speetacles were
to be enjoyed The first was a broad
view of the Cuyo valley, southwark
and eastward, with Mendoza, its shad-
ed streets, its plazas and its suburban
farms and vineyards directly below us
and so near that with glass streets
and houses could be identified
The second was an inspiring glimpse
/ of the main Andean chain, now sud
denly towering thousands of feet
above US in the west. Tupungato, in
solemn majesty. looked down upon us
from the clouds.
Then with a sharp turn in the bride
path n hundred snow-clads were re-
vealed at once. 1t was a spectacle to
fire the blood. | had no companion in
sympathy with my enthusiasm, but
the Chilean guide at least had ears to
hear compliments showered upon his
native mountains Leaping from the
mule ! siouted:
"MaCni}eo Magnifco.'
Then feeling the inadequacy of the
unfamiliar Spanish tongue for express
ing genuine Yankee feeling, l added:
Hal Columbial Glory Halleluiah!''
a flush Of patriotic pride illuminated
the Clilean's face, and he repeated:
"Magniaeor'
There we stood in rapture, gazing
at the Andean kings, With their snowy
ermine falling from their stately
shouldors.

Ladies First.

Little Tommy and his younger sister
were going to bed without light, says
an exchange. They had just reached
the bottom of the stairs when Tommy,
after vainly endeavoring to pierce the
darkness, turned round and asked:
MA, is it polite for gentleman to
precede a lady when they have to walk
in single fle?" NO, my son." replied
his mother, 1.-The lady should always

OUR NATIONS CAPITAL.
1t Has Moved About a Good Deal Nor
Than Most People SupDose

1t Has Moved About a Good Deal More
Than Most People Suppose.
We are quite sure that if a number
of boys and girls were asked to name
the different capitals of our country
the order would be something like
this: Philadelphia, New York and
Washington. This is all right as far
as it goes, says the Blue and Gray, but
the trS%th is our country has had a
good many more capitals than those
named. 1t may be said that during
the revolution the British kept things
moving" They would have been very
glad to lay hands on the ''rebel' con-
gress; knowing which, that body took
good care to keep out of their way
lnasmuch as wherever congress went
it took the national capital with it,
you can readily understand why the
following named places bore that
honor at the dates named:
Philadelphia, from September 5, 1774,
until December, 1910; Baltimore, from
December 30, 1776, to March, 1777;
Philadelphia, from March 4, 1717, to
September, 1777; Lancaster, Pa, from
September 81, 1777, to September 80,
17?7; York, Pa, from September 80,
1777, to July, IT'S; Philadelphia, from
July ,, 177S, to June 80, 1888; Prince
ton, n. j., from June so, 1888. to No
vember 20, 1873; Annapolis, Md, from
November, 1888. to November, 1884;
Trenton. n. j., from November, 1854,
to January, 1855; New York, from
January IL, 1885, to 100, when the
seat of government was changed to
Philadelphia, where it remained until
1890, when it was finally removed to
Washington.
Thus it is that nine different cities
and towns have figured as the capital
of our country

DEFENDING THE LAZY MAN.
Harmless Individual Who Is Too Often
Abused by the Busybodies,

Harmless Individual Who Is Too Often
Abused by the Busybodies,
1t is the custom of this worlds busy
bodies to speak slightingly of the lazy
man This custom is due primarily
perhaps to the fact that the energetic
soul is ever on the lookout for objects
upon which to expend its superfluous
force, but it is also largely referable to
the inability of the active tempera-
ment to see matters from the lazy
mans point of view. This looking
down upon the indolent is, after all,
but a matter of convention, and no
doubt if the truth were known-for the
slothfui mind is not given to Dragging
1T would be found that the lazy man
has as good reason for contemning the
busybody as has the busybody for
pointing the finger of scorn at the lazy
man. The Boston Transcript sees rea-
sons for thinking that the INDECENT
man is actuated by motives pure and
altruistic in refraining from undue ex-
ereise Of body or mind, and if he had
his due the record of his virtues might
ever be clothed in the most eulogistic
language; for, like the lily of the val
ley, he tolls not, neither does he spin,
and there is Scrip are warrant 70 be-
iievipg that eve solomon in al his

The 4 ninistration OF the oath, as in
civil cases. is of high antiquity: Then
shall an oath of the Lord be between
them both, that he has not put his
hand into his neighbours goods. . See
Exodus, x-ii., IL. Swearing on the
Gospels was first used in the year 52S.
The first oath administered in Judicial

year 6e1. The words $50 help me God

down to 1860.

Plant Shade Trees.

Nothing adds more to the Beauty
and comfort of u home than shade
trees. Nothing contributes more to
the attractions of Village than shady
walks.
These may be had by all if all will
unite in an. effort to secure them. No
one can fail to see that our Village
has improved in appearance during
the past three years. Walks have been
laid and much has been done to
improve the general appearance of the
town.
But we certainly lack shade. Now
let each determine that his premises
shall be improved in this respect and
the change for the ensuing three
years will be greater than in the past.
Arrange with some farmer to furnish
you good article. These should be
trees grown in open fields where they
have had an opportunity to form q
good top and healthy roots.
Do not accept any but a good article.
Don't allow them to cut the roots off
close APP to the body of the tree. In
sst upon at least three feet of roots.
Then in setting these see that the
tree Is set slightly lower than the sur
rounding earth in order to hold the
moisture. AftCr planting be sure to
cover the roots well with coarse ma
nure or straw or other good mulch.
If these directions are followed sue
cess is almost certain and few years
of time will show wonderful results
| from the care bestowed. Let each
property holder put these suggestions
into practical effect at once.

On EXPLANATION,

Exception has been taken by several
to the mention of the name of James
f. Lutz, as township clerk, in our
article of last week upon the county
canvass for Circuit Judge, and the
claim made that the article classed
him with boodlers and wire-puliers.
The article has no such effect, nor
was it intended that it should have.
Mr.. Lu5z, together with all of the
township clerks were compelled to APP
pear before the board of canvassers,
as they were served with subppnas by
the sheriff or his deputies for that
purpose.
What was said was to the effect that
all of these summonses and other
items connected with the canvass must
run up large bills of expense that the
tax payer has an interest in; not
that any township clerk was respon.
sible therefor.
