Well, one time during the Revolu-

sore need OF supplies and ammunition,

Washington demanded funds, which
were, however, unavailable. At length
Washington said in despair. "Well, VIC

pelsd that the governor was 20 suc-
cessful In raising the necessary moosy

after awhile when the origin OF the

was popular and Is IN use Mt the pres

The centenary OF DucI.
One hundred years ago the 18th Of
July occurred the historic duel by
which Alexander Hamilton, the brill
liant statesman, lost his life at the
hands of the cratic, ambitious AID
designing Burr. One hundred years
after that sad event, which America
has never ceased to deplore, it is inter
esting to find the city of New York
buying the old Jumel mansion, at
which both Hamilton and Burr were
favored guests, that 1t may be pre-
served as one of the three pre-Revolu-
tionary landmarks remaining on Man.
haitian Island.
at this mansion, which stands in bold
prominence upon the heights overlook
ING the Harlem river at One Hundred
and Sixtieth street, Burr lived after he
married the Widow Junel. HIS days
there. however. were but another pa
thetic chapter in the life Of a brilliant
man who permitted his evil instincts
to master and control his career. The
hundred years that have interviewed
since the Weehawken duel have only
tended to quicken the worlds apprecl'
alton OF the abilities of the gifted West
Indian, while time has not in any de-
gree dispelled the odium which shroud-
ed the life and public services Of Aaron

Tho Mario Flsh.

Cut a large fish out Of very stout
writing paper.
In the center Of It cut small round
hole. and from this hole cut narrow
slit extending straight out to the TAIL
Put a few drops Of oil in the round
hole and then quickly but carefully lay
the fish fat on the water, making sure
that no water reaches the upper sur
face Of the fish.
The fish will then be seen to move
slowly along through the water, al
though 1t has not received the slightest
push.
The explanation Is that the oil which
you have dropped into the little round
hole tries to expand.
AS the paper does not absorb it quick
ly It starts to spread along the narrow
slit that you have cut in the fish from
the hole to the tail. And in doing this
Il pushes the fish forward.
Try this experiment, boys and girls.

FOR THE CHILDREN


There ore many kinda Of banb tor

too hard fon ordinary hand playinS.
The writer Of this has never seen any
thing to equal the balls be used 70
make for himself when he was boy,
and be wants to tell the other boyg
how I've did it.
Get perfectly round orange and cut
the peel into even quarters, numbering
them at one end 50 as to be able to put
them together again In their proper
order.
Ask your mother or your sister for
pair OF discarded kid gloves with long
wrists, and out Of these wrists cut four
pieces exactly like the four pieces Of
orange peel. Number them as you did
tho pieces Of peel and with linen
thread sew over and over three seams,
thus putting the four pieces together,
but leaving one seam open. This is the
cover for your ball.
Get a solid rubber ball about three
quarters Of an inch in diameter, and
on 1t wind the common wooden yarn Of
which stockings are made. You can
buy the yarn at q shop, or, If you can
get an old stocking, ravel 1t out. Do
the winding evenly, so as to keep the
ball perfectly round, and try 1t now
and then to see II it is large enough
for your cover. You must make it so
that It viii fit in the cover exactly. and
then you draw the remaining edges to-
gether and sew them over and over as
you did the other seams.
The boy who uses ball Of this kind
Will never willingly use any other. 1t
Is plenty hard enough and yet is soft
to the touch, and the rubber center
sives It all the needed bounce.

The result OF Sl,4s3, 100000 for the
year ended October last past is In
spite of the fact that our exports of
bread stuffs for the 10 months ended
October of this year was only half in
value Of the corresponding period of

This remarkable result was achieved
by the large increase in our export Of

tori, and the increased value of raw
cotton exported. The manufactures
exported is not less than $50, O0O, 900

Clothing a. Physical Records.

An excellent illustration Of the value
Of records has been afforded lately re-
garding the question Of physical de-
generacy. A firm in the north of Eng
land has compared the measurements
for clothing made two generations ago
with those OF today, the results going
to show that chest and hip measure
ments are now three inches on the av.
erage more than they were sixty years
ago. This same conclusion is reached
by the experience Of the ready made
clothiers. These facts. whatever may be
their generality, do not quite dispose
Of the question Of degeneracy. They
are what we should expect from the
more abundant and cheaper food Of
the people, their better housing and
improved sanitary surroundings, but
the testimony regarding the unftness
Of recruits and progressive lack Of
stamina in town and especially manu-
featuring populations cannot be disre-
garded.-London Telegraph.

Micrche of Oi6 Age.

In n lecture on old age. delivered
by DR.. Menchnkoff, the speaker e1-
pressed the opinion that senillty was
produced by certain physiological
states which cause the beneicent
species Of microbes called macroph-
ages to increase too rapidly. Then in
their turn they become injurious.
These parasites flourish in the large
intestine which mammals possess.
whereas in birds they are almost en-
tirely lacking. The result was shown
in the person Of the doctors own dog,
which was decrepit at eighteen, while
the Doctors parrot, aged seventy, ap-
peared to the audience hale and lively.
ut stands proved" said the doctor,
that senility Is An infectious disease,
and 1t should be possible to treat 1t
like other mAladies, to cure it or pre-
vent It,"
The hope was expressed by, DR..
Menchnihofr that q serum would short.
~ be discovered to counteract the
macrophages and prolong human life;
meantime, says the Figaro, he rec
