Miss Watson was in her classroom,

and suddenly discovered the girl She

attacking the men with her dellca te
weapon. They caught her, though she
cut them both number of times. AZ
ter binding her, they attempted to
make her take an oath not to try to
leave the building for several hours,
and to reveal nothing she had heard.
This she refused to do, and was told
that she would then be left to perish
In the flames. Both men were mask ed, +,
and at once disappeared. 1t was three
hours before the girl was discovered
by passing students and released.
Evidence of the efforts of the firebugs
were numerous around the elevator
shaft of the building, but the fire had
been smothered.

ments she attained prominence as an
authoress of religious prose aud poetry
at very early age. Her desire to I'M
prove the condition of suffering human

homeopathy and mind healing on n ma
terlal basis, none of which satisfied her
aspiration for II system of cure for dis
ease. In 1856 she discovered the prin-
cipal which she afterward named
Christian Science" In one of her
works she says: During twenty years
prior to my discovery had been trying
to trace all physical effects to the ment-
al cause. and in the latter part of 1886
| gained the scientific certainty that all
causation was mind and every effect

plete statement Of Christian Science.
entitled "Science and Health, with key
to the Scriptures" was published in
1879, and has since been followed by
many other works.
In 1881 she chartered the Massachu-
setts Metaphysical College; this was
the only charter under Massachusetts
State laws ever granted for teaching
the pathology of Christian healing.
Mrs. Eddy Is now actively directing
the Christian Science movement from
her home in Concord, n. H., appearing
occasionally at the Mother Church, and
has recently taught a class Of seventy

Board of Missionaries, Board of Edu-

principles of Christian Science are
being disseminated.

A SECRET LANGUAGE.
The Jargon that Children Make UP TO
Convey Their Secrets.

The seeret-language period Is thing
,f child nature. There are three dis
tlnct periods in language learning by
the child. The nrst Is the acquiring
Of the mothertongue. The second pc,
rlod comes shortly after the time OF
beginning to learn the mother-tongue,
and Is n language made up by children
who, perhaps, lind themselves unable
10 master the mother tongue. Very few
children have complete language OF
this kind, but all children have a few
words of such
Then comes the secret Language pc
riod. Although In very few cases the
learning OF secret languages began
about the sixth year. and in some In
stances the period ran till after the
eighteenth year, yet the vast majority
OF cases are covered by the period be
tween the eighth and the fifteenth year
while the greatest use is between the
tenth and the thirteenth year.
There are many reasons why children
learn and use these languages. One
lady confesses that she originated
language. and introduced 1t into mys,
terious set of ten. In order to write
notes In school, and she truly adds that
had their teachers discovered the key
they would have learned many truths.
1t can never be known whether these
languages originated In the first cases
with children. The names would In
many instances imply that children had
to do with them, as they show things
familiar to the child and loved by him.
So In the secret languages we find ami
mails playing an important part In the
naming. The hog, dog, goose, pigeon,
pig, fly, cat and other animals are at.
tached TO these languages.

where all sat together, hearing the Ito

would naturally attach the name 10

salt Hay Used to Preserve Plants.

Salt hay is used in winter for cover
ing various kinds of plants that grow
close to the earth. 1t has long staple
and II serves this purpose well. Straw
with long staple is still used for bun
ding up plants and shrubs having
stalks. Salt hay is used in cemeteries
to cover up ivy-clad leaves. The ivy is
thus kept in better condition than if II
were left exposed to the blasts and the
cold of winter. The brown hay is laid
lengthwise upon the grave in cover
ing of uniform thickness all over It,
which is held in place by bent rods
settled down upon 1t at intervals, hoop
like. and with their ends in the ground
on either side.

committees on a point of order can only
do so sitting and with his hat on. Occas-
ions have happened when a hat had to be
temporarily borrowed for the occasion,
and a grave statesman has had to address
the chair in a hat several sizes too small
for him.
A hat, moreover, is sometimes allowed to
represent its owner. For~instance, the rule
is that if a member Is present at the Off
cial reading of prayers, he can reserve a
seat for himself during the whole sitting
by leaving his hat on it. On one occasion
some Irish member brought in several hats
apiece, and secured good seats for all the
principal members of their party. The
speaker however, declared that the priv
ilege attached to personal attendance at
prayers. not to the mere deposit of a hat.
member usually places his hat under
his chair when he rises to speak. Some
times however he incautiously places II
on the chair. In the latter case he is
almost certain 10 sit down on 1t when he
has finished his speech. This is a joke
which the House of Commons always en-
joys.
There are a few rules with regard to
the dress The speaker for instance,
must wear knee breeches. silk stockings,
pumps with buckles, a stuff gown a white
tie and a wig. He never wears a sword
in the House. The sergeant-at-arms. on
the contrary, always wears a sword when
he is on duty. His costume includes knee
breeches, silk stockings, shoes with buck
les, a white tie and bob wig.
