OLD LANDMARK IS PRESERVED
Historic General Schuyler Mansion at
Albany, N. Y, Associated With
Revolutionary Times.

BY the dedication of the General
Schuyler mansion at Albany, N. Y,
another interesting landmark of revO-
lutiOnary days was permanently pre-
served from the devastating hand OF
modern Improvement, notes a corre-
SpOndent The house Is 155 years old,
having been built in 1862. It's recent
dedication by Governor Whitman,
marked the one hundred and fortieth
anniversary of the surrender of BUR
goyne at Saratoga. General Schu, Ter
took an active part in the campaign
against the invading British army from
the North, and, at Saratoga, he suf-
fered serious loss in the burning OF
the British of his country home and
mills. Notwithstanding this, he acted
the part of the chivalrous conqueror a
few days later, when he entertained
General Burgoyne and his staff, in
Guiding the Hessian general, Baron
Riedesel, and his wife, at his Albany
home, when, as prisoners Of war, they
stopped there on the way to Boston.
With the single exception of the ia
nous Washington headquarters at
Newburg, purchased by the state in
1S49, the Schuyler mansion is more
closely associated with revolutionary
times than any other of the historic
memorials purchased from time to time
by the state for preservation.

To Induce Sleep.

When trying to induce sleep 1t is
well, observes an authority, to put
away all serious thoughts and try to
get the mind into a pleasant, elevated
state. Some people make habit of
reaHng before retiring but too often
one reads on until eyes and head ache.
AS a result the following morning the
eyes are bloodshot and bulging from
the overstrain and the individual has
lost the necessary amount Of rest be-
cause of this enforced strain. 1t is
most important that the ventilation Of
the sleeping apartment be attended to;
that there is clear, fresh air circulat-
ing. Windows should be raised from
the bottom and lowered from the top
also, 50 that the air may circulate free
ly. The question of whether it Is
healthy to sleep with pillow or with
out one has been debated many times,
but happy medium is recommended
as the most comfortable one.

count OF the weeks as they passed.
When the days slid behind him until
he feared he could not remember he cut
little notch on the window sill each
morning with Bucks knife, with every
seventh day longer and deeper notch
than the others TO mark the weeks. The
first three days had been so hazy that
he thought them only two and marked
them so, but that put him only one day
out Of his reckoning.
He lay there and saw snow slither
past his window, driven by a whoOping
wind. 1t worried him to know that his
calves were unsheltered and unfed

He saw cold rains and sleet. Then
there were days when he shivered un-
der his blankets and would have given
much for a cup Of hot coffee; days
when the water froze in the pals be-
side the bed--what little water was
left-and he Clipped of pieces of ice
and sucked them to quench his thirst
Days when the tomatoes and peaches
were frozen in the cans so that he
chewed jerked venlson and ate crackers
rather than chill his stomach with the
icy stuff.
Day by day the little notches and the
longer ones reached farther and farther
along the window sill until Ward be-
gan to foresee the time when he must
start new row. Day by day his
cheek bones grew more clearly defined,
his eyes bigger and more wistful Day
by day his knucliles stood up sharper
when he closed his hands, and day by
day nature worked upon his hurt, knit

Antiquity of Jerusalem.

The wonderful antiquity of Jerusa-
lem has only been appreciated in re-
cent years. Up to 80 years ago, OBJ
serves the Chicago Examiner, it was
thought that Jerusalem was Of little
Importance as a city until it became
the "City Of David" king Of Israel.
But with the discovery of the Tel-el-
Amarna tablets in Egypt new light
was shed upon the history of the Sa-
cred city. There were found six letters
written by the king of Jerusalem to
the Pharaoh of Egypt, dating from the
fifteenth century b. c. The name of
this king of Jerusalem was Abd-hiba,
or, as some scholars read the cunei-
FORM Abd-sadak, and he writes to the
Pharaoh beseeching him to send SOL
diers, almost as the Turks must have
sent messages to Germany asking for
re-enforcements that they might save
the day.

TT was past noon when Ward rode
down the steep slope to the creek
bank just above his cabin. he was
sunk deep in that mental depression
which so often follows close upon the
heels of a great outburst of passion

two foot bank into nest Of loose piled
rocks that slid treacherously under his
feet Sure footed, though he was, he
stumbled and fell, and it was sheer in
stinct that took Wards feet from the
stirrups in time.
Ward sprawled among the rocks
dazed. The shock Of the fall took him
out of his fit of abstraction and he
pulled away from Rather as the horse
scrambled up and stood shaking before
him. He tried to scramble up also.
Ward sat and stared stupidity at his
left leg where. midway between his knee
and his foot. it turned out at an unnat-
ural angle. He thought resentfully that
he had had enough trouble for once
without having broken leg on top OF
1t all.

riding--well, the nearest place was M

way from a doctor. He glarced again
at the cabin and tried to study the sit
uation impersonally. If it were some
other fellow, now, what would Ward
advise him to do under the circum-
stances?
He reached down and felt his leg

The schoolmaster was giving the
boys a lecture on thrift and pointed
out how squirrels stored up nuts for
the winter. Then he asked for an
other illustration of thrift in animals,
and one boy cried out:

"a dog! In what way does a dog
practice economy2"
"Please, sir, when he runs after his
tail he makes both ends meet"
The master laughed, and another
boy said:

Tempting Natives to Work.

Tempting natives of British New
Guinea to work was a process which
was explained during the hearing Of
a case in London recently. A man who
has lived many years there said that
he had solved very difficult labor
problem In New Guinea. The men
could not be tempted to work for
money, and he hit upon the idea of Of
fering them beads, gaudy cloths, dogs
teeth and musical instruments. To get
these they worked for a twelvemonth
and then induced others to do likewise.

shoulder at Buck, slumped in the sad
die with a paper pinned to his back
like q fire warning on a tree and his
own grass rope nooSed about his neck
and connecting him with the cotton
wood limb six feet above his hat crown.
