burgh in honor Of the great English
inspirer Of victory. Later 1t dropped
the "h" and became Pittsburg. only
finally to tack the "h" on officially
and revert to the original spelling.
In 1884 Arthur Lee described the place

entirely by Scots and Irish. who live
IN paltry log houses. There are ID the

mOverhanc" Houses.

By the year 1910 wooden chimneys
snd log houses of the Plymouth and
Bay colonies were replaced by more
slightly houses Of two stories, which
were frequently built with the second
story iutting out foot or two over the
first and sometimes with the attic
story still further extending over the
second story. This 'overhang' Is pop
ula-ly supposed to have been built Tor
the purpose Of affording convenient
shooting place from which to repel the
indians. This is, however. an historic
fable. The overhanging second story
was a common form OF building In
England in the time Of Queen Eliza
beth, and the Massachusetts and Rhode
Island settlers simply and naturally
copied their old homes

The Gentle Sex.

An eminent English statistlcian has
calculated that Of TWO children. a boy
and a girl, born on the same day the
boy will have only seventeen chances
against eleven Of living one year, while
the girl will have twenty-one chances
against eleven. From FIVE to fifteen
there appears to be but little difference,
tct from fifteen to nineteen the boy
will have 269 chances and the girl 277
chances Of living against one Of death.
If q thousand ablebodied men and a
thousand ablebodied women be armed

The Chinese preserve their eggs IN

and whites being first separated and
then each reduced to powder by e7apo-
ration. In India butter IS treated IN
much the same way. so that 1t never
becomes stale and may be kept fresh
for a hundred years. The butter Is
boiled TIL all the water and curds are
got rid Of and nothing remains Dut

what they call ghee. and ghee Is notn'

Standing behind barred window

Fettered with heavy handcuff and

And gazing on the blue sky, far and

hear,
The man had in the night contrived to
gain
His freedom, and was safe, would this
bring pain?
Oh. would it not to dullest heart ap-

Had brought, yet they who loved
