that something dreadful had hap
pened.
Meantime. Herbert E. Jones had been
having a similar. though in some ways
more remarkable, experience. After
spending the day at Harpenden he re-
turned home at pm. and at 1890 re-
tired. At midnight he was awakened
by hearing his name called twice. He
put on light, looked about and, see
ing nothing, returned to his slumbers,
convinced he had been dreaming.
He was awakened again. This time
he seemed to hear a noise as of men
carrying something down from an up
per story. He took light and as the
noise came opposite his door flung 1t
open. The corridor was pitch-dark.
7thing was being carried through It.,
and there was nobody in it to carry
anything.
Telling himself that he had been the
victim of a nightmare. he returned to
bed. It was now o'clock In the morn
ing he found telegram on the break
fast table Summoning him home be-
cause Of his fathers death.
Sir Lawrence Jones makes the fol-
lowing statement regarding these re-
markable incidents: The thoughts Of
those present at my fathers death (my
mother. brother and three sistersl no
doubt turned most anxiously toward us.
and It is to q telepathic impression from
them in their anxiety and sorrow that
attribute the intimationS We received"
ceived."

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

February IL, 1854 number OF
Union officers, who escaped from Lib
hey Prison in Richmond few days
ago, arrived in Washington tonight,
after many hardships, and are stop
ping at the National and Metropolitan
Hotels; The story Of their escape Is
most interesting.
over two months ago several OF the
Union officers confined in Libbey Prison
conceived the idea of making their
escape by digging their way out. seven
or eight of them conferred seriously
over the matter and discussed 1t from
every angle, finally deciding upon
plan. The digging was begun in Gel
lar near a chimney and the object was
TO reach . sewer known to be nearby.
The cellar was Immediately under
portion of the building used as nos
pital. The cellar was the receptacle OF
old straw from prisoners beds and otner
refuse. Above the hospital room was
a room used by the imprisoned officers
ana above that yet another room. the
chimney ran from the cellar up through
all OF these rooms. The prisoners who
were In the secret improvised a rope
parties down the chimney into the cell
lar, where the excavating went on.
The excavated earth was hidden un-
der the straw and other refuse in the
cellar. When the diggers got a con-
siderable distance underground it was
found difficult TO haul back the earth
by hand. and spittoon was made to
serve as cart. A string was attached
to it and it was run back and forth
through the tunnel carrying the earth.
But. after the digging with pen
knives, finger nails and anything that
could be found had proceeded some dis
lance, the stencil and filth from the
sewer became SO bad that several men
tainted and the project had to be
abandoned.
Another tunnel was then started I'M
der Carey street and was continued
to point under a carriage house on
the opposite side OF the street. There
was a high fence around this carriage
house and the Confederate guard was
outside the fence. After nearly a month
of digging party Of 100 men succeeded
in crawling to liberty, Col. Rose OF New
York, leading the van.
They divided into squads outside and
made their way separately to the Union
lines.

graceful figure, must be earned by
effort. Overeating and underexercising
cause excess fat In individuals who
have such tendency as surely as night
follows day. In order to undo the mis-
chief, one must curb the craving for
fattening foods. and at the same time
assist the body TO burn up the accumu-
lations of fat by active exercise both
indoors and out of doors in the fresh
air. Effortless reducing systems do not
build we'll knit, supple youthful figures.
The so-called modern figure" with
its straight, boyish lines, is an imma-
ture figure. In other ages the feminine
figure was admired, and thanks TO the
broadCaSting Of scientific knowledge by
our physicians and health experts, this
ideal feminine figure is admired today
regardless of fashion dictates and the
modern cult Of youth that exalts an
undeveloped type Of figure. While the
bustless, hiplesS figure Of the very early
teen age has a charm of its own for
that period of life IL is only a fieeting
one. II 1t Is retained in the maturer
years 1t Is by process of semi-starva-
ton that wrecks the health and beauty
Of the individual. The woman more
than 81 to Is years Of age who has a
fiat figure Is not a normal type. As
she becomes older her body becomes
skinny and prematurely old. she Is a
poor risk for insurance companies, and
she is usually bundle of nerves with
a sallow complexion, lusterless eyes and
a predisposition to various ailments,
including prematurely fading hair.
wrinkles and a disposition to worry
over everything In general.
What constitutes good bodily proper
tons Is question that comes to me
again and again. There can be no dog
matte answer to this query. 1t Is per-
fectly natural for some young girls to
have well developed hips and bust; 9TH
ers remain slender until their early
twenties and still are healthy and nor
NAL. Ones height and physical type
must also be considered. A girl whose
bones are naturally heavy will have
relatively thick ankle bones and wrists:
the small-boned type will be slender ct
these points. The width of the hip
bones is an inherited characteristic.
Some small, dainty girls have relatively
wide hips and narrow shoulders, and
some athletic girls have wide shoulders
and fairly narrow hips.

OUR CHILDREN
BY ANGELO PATRI.
Does Child Know TT

I'm doing my very best to break the
child of the habit, but don't seem 10
You won't get on very fast until the
child wants to break that habit and
establish o new one in its stead. you
may wish and hope and labor but until
something happens that wakens desire
in the childs mind to be different, you
cannot get far. The childs wish stands
in your way. Indeed your wish never
moves a child. 1t may stimulate him to
wish to do something and then he does
1t. Not until then.
"'Then why is he so mean? Why.
when he knows that I want him to
change his habits so very. very much,
when he sees how he worries me, when
he gets such poor reports, why doesn't
he changer"
I don't know. Perhaps it is because
you are trying to get him to be or to do
something that his stage of growth does
not permit. You know that mind de-
yelops in accordance with its own ma
ture. Some are slow, slow along the
whole line. Some are slow in spots only
and quick in other spots. Some are
quick in all respects. Some have blind
SPOTS Some have very bright ones in
deed. Each mind grows after It's kind.
Experience teaches a child a great
deal. Words teach him very little. Many
of the words with which we shower a
child remain meaningless for years. One
day the right experience comes along
and the child says, That is what my
mother meant" "Tha. is what my
teachers were trying to tell me-"
A mind is deaf to certain appeals for
years. Then, because of the ripened ex-
periences 1t has accumulated 1t hears
and understands. We know that morals
are an adult conception. 1t took the
race countless years to write the moral
codes under which society tries to live.
It takes most of us a lifetime to dis
cipline ourselves to accept them. We
must remember all this when we are
struggling to help child establish him.
self in righteousness at home and
abroad.
We must remember that we cannot do
\ a child's thinking and so cannot act for
rhim. We have to help him to know, to
understand, what and why, the cause
and the reason Of things that seem to
him meaningless. We have to work day
by day by word and example, in school
| in church, in societies of children, to
make the child conscious Of the good we
offer him. Until he recognizes 1t as good,
he will not desire 1t and until he de-
Sires 1t with his whole heart we lose time
Scolding.
So, when you work to establish a good
habit in q child make sure he knows
about it. Garry him along with you In
| your effort to form the new associations
! Attract him by making the new idea
very alluring get him to wish for the
! thing you want him to have and he will
have 1t and never let go of 1t. TIL
wish is the thing.

Sir Willoughby Jones was taken sud-
denly i'll and died about o'clock on the
morning of August 81, 1884.
Heart disease brought death. When
he was stricken he was not In his room,
Struggling hard for breath, he was car
ried to it, but restoratives were Of no
avail.
Sir Willoughby's wife one son and
three daughters were at home-Cran-
mer Hall, Fakenham, Norfolk-at the
time and were at Sir Willoughby's side.
Two other sons were elsewhere.
These latter, however. were awakened
from sleep by strong intimations of
their fathers distress in the very hour
when 1t was upon him.
They were his oldest son, Sir Law
renee Jones. later to became president
of the British Society for Psychic Re-
search. and Herbert z. Jones. The for
mer was then visiting in company with
his wife at her fathers house, at Bury
st. EdmundS. Herbert E. Jones was at
Knebworth Rectory. Stevenage.
On August 20 neither Sir Lawrence
nor his brother had reason to fear for
their father. A fortnight before Sir
Lawrence had seen Sir Willoughby in
apparently perfect health. On August
Is his mother had written him that his
father was not quite well. However,
she said the doctor had examined him
and had made light of his ailment,
which he thought was due merely to
the intense heat. Herbert Jones seems
not to have known that his father had
been ailing, even only slightly.
On the morning of August 20 Sir
Lawrence Jones and his wife had driven
over to Cambridge from Bury st. Ed
munds. Inexplicably. vague PRESENT.
ment of something wrong laid hold of
Sir Lawrence and, although he had in
tended to spend the night, he decided
TO 60 back TO Bury. He thought 1t likely
he would receive a letter the next
morning.
Lady Jones did not dissuade him, for
she experienced a similar feeling.
You may regret 1t II you do not re-
turn" she said.
Late that night at Bury Sir Lawrence
awakened suddenly. He seized Lady
Jones wrist and excltimed: Something
dreadful Is happening; I don't know
what"
The inexplicable horror that gripped
him caused him to break into a cold
perspiration. Lady Jones had difnculty
in persuading him that nothing was
wrong. Finally. though, both fell
asleep again.
In the morning Sir Lawrence was
greatly treasured when he received q
letter written by Sir Willoughby him

WINTERTIME
BY d. G. PEATTH.

The wind was sweeping, wintry and
chill. through the woods, setting them
to humming over my head. Some
where, amidst tumbled logs in the glen,
laurel and underbrush, too thick to see
through, a wild, sweet song was whis-
tied. I circled round the log pile, and
the sound circled around, too. keeping
the log pile between it and me-. I
stayed till my ears were aching with
cold land curiosity and then went
home.
BY my fire Of pine wood ransacked
my books, asking of all my old favor
ties among ornithological authors who
sang this song. Presently turned to
the more modern authors (who are
often more nearly right but like them
far less) and the result was the same.
At the end Of three hours gave 1t up.
The next Mornings mail brought
scientific monthly with an article by
Ralph Danforth on The Winter

Rather disgruntled, turned back to

faint praise for the Winter wren. Pos

ton from his contemporaries, Wilson

My books inform me that this en-
chanting little singer keeps us company

october TO May, and that he is a close
kin to the European wren, one Of the
sweetest singers in the world. though
not so noisy and intimate as our house

For wistful magic prefer the marsh
wren and the Carolina wren goes
straight to the heart. for he says.

I think now have a new favorite
among birds since I heard the Winter
wren give voice. If modesty Is any vir-
tue in q concert singer, and / believe 1t

credit than we do.
