A wartime Hiding Place.

J. II. Gore writes an article for st.
Nicholas describing some peculiar u Hid
ing Places In Wartimes." Those he
tells about were all in one house in Vlr-
ginia, near a town which changed
hands, under fire, 80 times during the
war. Mr.. Gore says:
With fall came the "fattening time"
for the hogs. They were then brought
in from the distant fields, where they
had passed the summer, and put IN g
pen by the side of the road. And, al
though within ten feet o.. the soldiers
as they marched by, they were never
seen, for the pen was completely cover
ed by the winters wood pile, except at
the back, where there was q board
fence through whose cracks the corn
was thrown in. Whenever the passing
advance guard told us that an army
was approaching the hogs were hur-
riedly fed, so that the army might go
by while they were taking their after
| dinner nap and thus not reveal their
| presence by an escaped grunt or squeal.
| Fortunately the house was situated IN
narrow valley, where the opportunl'
ties for bushwhacking were go great
that the soldiers did not tarry long
enough to search suspected wood piles
On one occasion we thought the hogs
doomed. A wagon broke down near the
house, and the soldier went to th'
wood pile for pole to be used III mend
ing the break. Luckily he found stlcl
to his liking without tearing the pill
to pieces. This suggested that some nice
straight pieces be always left conven
iently near fSr such an emergency, il
case it should occur again.

The other afternoon 1 was in gen.
tleman's outfitting shop when a Gus.
toner came in to purchase a hat. He
tried ON several and was evidently hard
to please, the counter becoming covered
with the rejected. At last the salesman
picked up brown felt bowler, brushed
it round with his arm and extended it
admiringly.
"These are being very much worn
this season, sir" he explained.
"Are they?" said the customer
thoughtfully, surveying himself in the
mirror, with his hat ON his head. 'DC
you think it suits me?''
"Suits you to perfection, sir, if the

Thc MnrrYinw Age.

A what age do people marry? The
most popular time for n woman to get
married is from her twenty y-first to her
twenty fifth year inclusive More than
one-half Of the women who marry at
all marry il these five years Of their
life, and another quarter marry between
the ages of 90 and 20, and not more
than a third between the ages of % and
80. The average age of marrying is just
over 26 for women and just under 28
for men These figures include remar-
riages. For spinsters only the average
age is 20, and for bachelors 261a
1t is a noticeable fact that in the last
ten years the average age of marrying
has, for men and women alike, gone up
half year Taking the complete quar-
ters ending on the last days of March,
June, September and December respec-
lively, the December quarter is most
prolific in marriages, and the spring
and summer quarters come next, about
equal, with the March quarter a long
wav behind. New York Home Journal.

On Dec. the officers of the army
met in Fraunce's tavern to bid their
chief farewell Washington, as he rose
and faced them, could not control his
voice. He lifted a glass of wine and
said, with heart full of love and
gratitude, now take my leave of you,
most devoutly wishing that your latter
days may be as prosperous and happy
as your former ones have been glorious
and honorable" They drank in silence,
and Washington said, 81 cannot come
to each of you and take my leave, but
shall be obliged if you will come anC
take me by the hand" Up they came
one by one, and one by one Washing
ton, his eyes filed with tears, embraced
them and said farewell From the tav

where he entered his barge. AS the boa
moved away he rose and lifted his hat
His officers returned the salute in 81
