STORY OF INDEPENDENCE DAY
Steps Which Led Up to Adoption OF
=. the Immortal Declaration.

In May, 1776, Virginia adopted those
famous instructions to her delegates
in congress ito propose to that respec-
table body to declare the united colo
MES free and Independent states
Thus encouraged, John Adams Of Mas
sachusetts the next day urged success
fully the adoption Of resolution rec
ommending all the colonies to form for
themselves independent governments.
In the preamble which he wrote 1t was
declared that the American people
could no longer conscientiously take
oath to support any government deriv-
ing its authority from the crown.
On the 7th of June, 1776, Richard
Henry Lee submitted motion en-
bodying the Virginia instructions. The
motion was seconded, as a descendant
Of Patrick Henry writes, "by glorious
old John Adams, and Massachusetts
stood side by side with Virginia"
Then, on the LIST of July, congress TAX
ing up the resolution respecting inde-
tendency once more, "all eyes were
turned on me-" says John Adams.
Rising, he led Off in speech Of sur
passing eloquence and ga power Of
thought and expression which," said
Jefferson, "moved the members from
their seats"
He was "the colossus Of that con-
gress," as Jefferson again testifies, the
"Atlas of Independence" as Richard
Stockton declares. "He compelled con-
viction, and at last. on the I'd of July,
the flame in his own soul fused into a
single molten current the aspirations
of people. and amid the glow Of no
BILE, daring, fervent speech the reso-
lutions Of independently were unani-
mously adopted" 1t was then that
John Adams, In a letter to Abigail,
burst forth In prophetic strains Of the
way the glad event would be celebrat-
ed. So 1t has been celebrated, but the
date of the adoption of the celebration.
July 4, is the one the people recognize
as the eliminating moment Of the
great event

9 1t would not be possible to SOW
Canada field peas in the spring early
enough to pillow them under and later
seed to some other crop. Nor would
1t have availed much to have seeded
them last fall, as the amount OF
growth they would have made before
the frost is very slight, and they will
not stand the winter free zing. The
only way in which field peas can be
used to pillow under as green manure
without losing the use of the land
for that season Is to SOW them early
In July or August on ground which
has already produced crop that
season. If sown in the latter part of
July they will make very consider
able growth before feeling weather In
the fall, and may then be plowed
under. State College Notes.

of black taffeta, both caught together
at the girdle top with cabuchon or

the front to knee depth.

and the one-step, though one is

cessfully in trailing skirts. so the
modern dancing frock is short enough
to reveal the feet-or at least the
toe and instep. The very latest fancy
in dancing footwear has a line OF
slashes at each side of the center, in
front, through which the silken stock

prevails just now of wearing flesh
colored silk hose with these boots
and the effect at first glance is that
of a dainty fitting boot buttoned on
over the bare feet and ankle.
These boots are exquisitely cut and
fashioned and the lines are very
graceful. making the foot appear
slender, tapering and arched; in a
word, patrician. One model is of

HIGH HEELS AND NERVES.

Everybody knows that high heels
are anathema to the doctors, and
erybody-otherwise every woman
wears them. But it has remained IN
discovered until recently that the cru
SADIE against city noises is probably
the result of the nervous shock occa-
stoned by the wearing of high heels.
According to a student of nervous NAL
aides, the constant Earring of the heels
affect alike the wearer and other cit
liens. In the former case it is the
shock to the nervous system; In the
latter 1t is the sound of the tapping
upon the pavement or Office floor, says
the Providence Journal Consequent

The latest Paris fashions are no
doubt interesting to the women be-
cause they can discern in every de-
tail a gentle purpose. To them every
picture of a fashion has some inter-
esting detail. But to men they all
look alike. There is no details about
them, no belts, no fringe, no lace. no
braids, no loops, no ribbons, and none
of the particulars that women notice
with deep interest. To man there is
no difference in the fashion from day
10 day or week TO week, but in the
course OF months or years he may no
tice the difference in the general from.
For instance, he will notice that the
full skirt has departed and buttoning
up the back has arrived, but the lat
ter, of course, is not to be attributed
to his keenness of observation. These
daily glimpses of the latest from Paris
suggest the wide difference between
the mans and the woman's world. A
man would see more interest in fish
| ing tackle than in the handsomest
gown from Paris; but to woman the
| latter would be a world of delight
| full curiosity, while she would turn
with disgust from the tackle and al
the fish 1t caught.
