A SUNDAY STROLL.
This Rserestion Was al One Time
Unlawful In Maine.


Something Of the exact behavior de-
manded from Soung people by those In
authority In the carly days of the nine
teenth century Is brought to notice In
the biography of Peter Edes. n pioneer
printer in Maine. Mr.. Edes had an
nppentrice, James Orrock, who enjoyed
n walk ON Sunday after a week Of in.
door employment.
Mr.. Edes soon found out that this
was not permitted at Bangor and wrote
to friend OF the trouble caused him
by his apprentices apparently inno-
cent amusement.
"You must know" he writes. "that
the people are very strict on this day
and will not let men walk out, much
less boys. James was strolling about
and was ordered home by the tytbing
men. but he would not obey them. A
complaint was lodged against me on
the next day, and should have been
obliged TO pay fine had not Judge
Dutton pleaded In my behalf that I
did not approve of such conduct and
so got clear"
Another interesting incident in con
nection with life in Bangor at this
time is an advertisement which ap.
peared in Mr.. Edes' paper the Bangor
Weekly Register, stating that "E. &
VI. Il. Edes have opened school IN
the room over the Register Office for
the instruction OF young misses and
small children in the useful and orna-
mental branches OF education"
The terms were: "Orthography and
plain work, II cents per week; writing,
English grammar, geography with the
use Of maps. composition. ornamental
needlework. % cents per week" This
was probably one of the first schools I'm
Maine for teaching young ladies OK
clusively In the branches of education
and also including plain work and fan
cy needcwork.

A Curious Story.

The queen of Hanover. wife of King
Ernest Augustus of Hanover (better
known as the Duke of Cumberland.
son of George I'D died at Hanover
about 1912 of an illness which baffled
the skill OF her doctors as to its real
cause. During her illness clairvoy-
ant was consulted. who wrote certain
curious signs and words on the door
of her bedroom: but. although these
mystic words were repeated over aud
over again, the queen died. The king
of Hanover after his wife's death gave
orders that her bedroom should al
ways be kept as though the queen
would sleep there at night. The bed
was turned down, the pillows re-
shaken. hot water brought and the
daintiest slippers laid I'm readiness for
her.--Home Notes.
