made speech In the senate. In fact, n
n recalled that the only speech he ever
made In or near Washington was Under
unique circumstances.
When the battle of Bull Run was
fought both branches OF congress had
adjourned for day or two. and many Of
the members Of both branches drove out
to witness the battle. In fact, SO close
did some OF the members Of congress get
that one member was captured by the
Confederates after the rout began.
History has told of the result of the
battle. Senator Lane had driven out In
buggy, and with field glass wal
watching the battle from distance
When the Union forces began slowly to
give way and the mad retreat began,
Senator Lane had left his buggy by the
side Of the country road and was stand
ing on a stump In the center Of the road,
which made a sharp turn to avoid the
stump. This brought the senator almost
in the middle Of the road. For an hour
or. more he stood In the middle Of the
road on the stump, searching with his
glass and eye practiced In, the Mexican
war the operations of the troops. When
the retreat began stragglers began to file
past--men without their arms, some with
out hats or cats, their hair streaming
In the wind. Then small attachments,
the remains OF whole companies, began
to hurry by. all bearing indisputable evi.

try, by their love OF honor and manhood
to stop and form for battle. His white
hair was blown about his face, and never
was man more earnest or eloquent. Many
of the infantrymen did stop and gathered
about the aged orator. Things seemed
hopeful that another stand might be
made.
AT this instant there came up the road
in wild flight a troop of cavalry, with
horses white with sweat, and the men
urging them on. Senator Lane stood
still, although the crowd around him
scattered to prevent being run over
Look out, old man. or you with get run
over" cried several. and one or two tried
to pull him out of the way.
Senator lane refused to move, and as
the cavalry swept up. began to address
the troopers. One or two seemed inclined
to stop, but one burly horseman in adj
vance shouted: Get out of the way, old
man. or we will run you down." One
horse was ridden directly at the aged
senator, but SHE'D at the stump, and the
senator's life was probably saved. As 1t
was he was knocked from the stump, and
two OF the infantrymen pulled him to
the side of the road. He did not attempt
to speak again, and the rout went on

As Mr.. Wilson Is curious as to the effect
of extreme cold upon seeds it may perhaps
be of interest to give recent illustration.
At Dover, on September is. Sir w. This
elton-Dyer described, at the meeting of the
British Association. experiments which he
had carried out In conjunction with Prof.
Dewar to ascertain the influence of the
temperature of liquid hydrogen on the ger
minAtive power OF seeds. The experiments
showed that life was sustained at = tenn
perature SO low that ordinary chemical
action was stopped. Seeds Of barley, vege-
table marrow, mustard and the pea were
actually immersed In liquid hydrogen for
upward of six hours. The seeds came out
of the ordeal bright and apparently un-
changed, and all terminated after they
were planted. The lowest temperature to
which they were subjected was 45s degrees
Fahrenheit below the temperature Of melt
ing ice.--Notes and Queries.

were not formulated by the Legislators Of
the present. The majority OF American
husbands and fathers are better than these
laws and never enforce them, and many
are entirely ignorant Of their existence.
Still their influence is felt In the commun-
ity, and their practical results are always
disastrous to the home and the family,
when interpreted by men who lack an ideal
comprehension OF the worth and glory Of
motherhood and home.
The time Is coming when an exalted con-
ception Of motherhood will prevail. as the
most important and sacred of all the func-
lions given to woman. Enlightened moth
erhood will be complemented by eniighten-
ed fatherhood, and science will come to
their aid with all that 1t has learned con-
corning prenatal being. Invention will
have simplified household az It has agricul-
tural labor, or cooperation will have ex-
tended to housekeeping as 1t has to busi-
ness, and the home win then become
sanctuary for the young child, whore SUR
roundings will be ideal, and who can be
trained and nodded Alright from the cradle.
Then will 'the statelier Eden come again
to man. Then will human fatherhood
and human motherhood take on something
Of the fullness, tenderness and divineness OF
Godhood. And then will the chhuren born
