diers knew the plans of their COM
mander. The following day the march
began over a wilderness trail and in
perfect silence. Not a man was al
lowed to leave the column under pen
atty of death. By o'clock that night
they were within one and one-half
miles of the British fortress. Then
the men were told of the desperate
work ahead Of them and the battle or
der read.
No man was allowed to load his
musket, and the battle was to be won
or lost with the bayonet alone. One
portion of the order provided that any
man found retreating a single foot
was to be put TO death at once.
Close to midnight the order to ad-
vance was given. The fort was to be
attacked from all sides. Once in mo-
ton General Wayne lost no time. The
British opened fire with guns, both
great and small. Seventeen Of the
twenty men in one advance guard were
shot down, but the companies in the
rear eagerly pressed on. General
Wayne himself, struck in the head
with a musket ball, fell stunned. He
recovered in a moment and, rising on
one knee, shouted: March on! March
on" Then, turning to his aids he
begged them to take him into the fort
so that If his wound was mortal he
would die at the head of his column.
General Wayne's wound drove his
followers to a frenzy. They dashed
up the hill and battered down all op-
position. Colonel Fleury, a French
officer in the American service, at the
head of his determined band forced
his way up the redoubt and as the
soldiers poured into the fort grasped
the British flag and lowered it. The
victory was complete. The British
lost SO killed and 543 taken prisoners,
of whom 20 were wounded. The
Americans lost Is killed and had S3
wounded. 1t was one Of the most dar-
ing and desperate incidents Of any
war.
From every point Of view the storm
ing of Stony Point was remarkable
feat Of arms, but back Of the success
of that night was story Of prepared
ness, the cause which has always been
overshadowed by the brililancy of the
result. General Wayne had trained
his men, stimulated their pride, en-
forced rigid discipline, had them at
the point of attack at the right mo-
ment and then with inspiring valor led
them.
The victory at Stony Point naturally
aroused a tremendous enthusiasm,
and 1t came at the right time. The
country was depressed il not quite dis
couraged. and Stony Point was like a
tonic. 1t gave the people more
strength. more courage and at time
when they sadly needed it. Not only
did General Wayne receive official rec
ognition, but he was in receipt of
hundreds Of congratulatory letters ex-
pressing popular and professional
opinion.-Chicago News.

Historic churchyard.

The Church Of St. George tho Mar
tyr, whose crypt it is proposed to At
up for the church scouts, is famous
Tor the eminent men buried in its
churchyard. For this was for many
years the burial places of prisoners in
the Marshalsea and Kings Bench, and
lllustrious prisoners we're common
there. Bonner, Bishop of London, died
In the Marshalsea, and was buried in
St. Georges churchyard, and here, too,
are buried Rushworth, clerk of parlia-
ment in the days of Charles I. and
the famous Cocker, whose arithmetic
book went through a hundred edi-
tions. The parish register records the
marriages of Lilly, the astrologer, and
General Monk. This parish register
narrowly escaped destruction, for at 8
public vestry in 1776 it was resolved
to "sell to Mr.. Samuel Carter all the
parish papers in a lump at three half
pence per pound" London Chronicle.

PECULIAR PRAYER TO COURT

saved by his stenographer," said an
attorney, at a recent lecture. "That

gets many points of law out Of her
work.
But there is another side to it that
must not be overlooked, and that is

technical that it is not within reason
to expect the stenographer to get ev-
erything exactly right.

that I have ever heard of in connec-

call it that, occurred in a certain law
Office the other day. The case was a
divorce action, in which the plaintiff
alleged cruel and inhuman treatment.
'Plaintiff, being a woman with all
the common law disabilities, prayed
the court for Temporary alimony and
suit money The prayer was dictated
to the stenographer and she wrote it
out and mailed it to the court.
''Shortly afterward, the lawyer
chanced to read copy and found to
his horror that the stenographer had
made the prayer one for alimony and
soup money!"

CHURCH LEFT TO TOURISTS
Death Of Builder Deprived English Vii
Iage Of Contemplated House Of
If Worship.

There is curious history regarding
an unfinished church which stands at
Hassall, near Sandbach, England. A
former resident at the local hall, a
Mr.. Lowndes, painfully conscious of
the lack of provision for the spiritual
wants of the people in the neighbor-
hood determined to build church at
his own expense. After carefully
choosing site, he gave instructions
for the erection of a structure in tho
modern style capable of seating 400
or 500 persons. Work on it was begun
In the summer of 1886, and was push.
ed ON steadily till the day on which
Queen Victoria was crowned, by which
time the building was we'll advanced.
The crypts, about ten in number, had
been put in, the walls and roofs were
complete, and the scantlings for the
floor were fixed. Indeed, partly in.
consequence of the national rejoiciRgs,
and partly to celebrate the progress
which had been made, the building
was smothered In flags and decora-
tions, and was the center of the local
festivities. Next day Mr.. Lowndea
was seized with an illness which quick
ly proved fatal, and with his passing
all work on the church ceased. Though
the building could have been finished
at comparatively small cost, it was
abandoned; and it has not been used
since, except by tourists, whose names

CHILDHOOD 4. VARIED PERIOD
From Twenty Years, in the Human
Race, It Grades Down to a Few
#s. Weeks Among the Birds.

The childhood of animals varies
with the total length of life, with the
size, and especially with the position,
in the life scale Long lived animals.
large animals and highly developed
animals usually have long youth.
The educated human being requires
70 years to grow up; the savage about
IS; the higher monkeys-the gorilla
and the orang-12 to IA years; the
baboon, 8 years, and the small mon.
keys, about half that time. The less
intelligent cat race has a youth of
but 4 or 5 years among the larger
kinds. The vegetable-eating animals,
mostly Of small intelligence, grow up
quickly, the buffalo and all the big
antelopes and deer having only about
2 years Of childhood, and the chamois
somewhat longer, although the giraffe
has 5 or s years. The elephant, the
largest Of land animals and one of the
most intelligent, is not grown up until
20 to 27 years old. All birds have a
short youth, looking after themselves
In weeks to 3 months, but becoming
grown up in 1 to years. Many rep
tiles-like the tortoise, crocodile, and
alligator-seem to grow all their lives.
Certain other creatures have a short
adult period-the mayf1y, for instance,
spending 2 years on the bottom of a
pong, and living but few hours aft

American cicada, which gropes II
