Miss Hamilton began at once to hardemher muscles by rowing and had rented a small skiff for the season. She came to this opening and, little realw ing the danger when the tide was run- ning, she boldly rowed up to it and suddenly found herself carried along toward the open sea by a power as un- pegageable as it was. ini"yysptiyt.

She enjoyed with equal zest; her breakfast. Then she started out for a ramble along the beach. She, looked down toward 'Seonset, saw the Soaring tower of Sm- katy light and trudged toward it as a magnet draws its iron. This brought her past the clubhouse, where, all unknown; she became an objegt 9f glean interest. "Gad, Charlie, just look there," called Billy Hills from the reading room, "and don't go too near the win- dow or you will scare her! But, Jove, isn't she a rare bird for Wauwineb?

C The Quaker rule has been callznd in- human because it proscribed innocent amusements and repressed the desire of the young for healthy expansion. All I know is that as I saw and felt the in. fluence of this rule it affected the child- ish imagination with an infinite awe, an infinite respect, a perfect human calm. The hushed decorum of the house- hold, the elders, grave, silent, but just and kind, with an unassuming but un- broken kindness, the absence of anger. ill temper, jealousy, mockery, resent- ment-and yet I have seen such bursts of feeling, too, quivering with, oh, such sorrow and pain-the spotless dress, the formal speech, the very neatness of the house furniture, preserved, quaint, spotless, unharmed for generations-all these things separated the childish mind from the world that is fabled to call so strongly to the caged bird; sep- arated it, satisfied it, filled it with an awestruck insuperable lo " of home. The world might stir at times an ob. scure thrill of curiosity, of envy, or of longing, bat that the temptation could endure long if it called the adolescent away from such a home was well nigh impossible. The son of Tell looked very frighten. ed and didn't know what was happen- ing. The apple firmly fixed on his youthful cranium was bobbing about, the audience was laughing, and the laugh burst into a roar when one ot Gesler's guards, looking painfully like a gentleman who might offirsiate on one of the tramcars during the day, took in the situation and coming forward from his position at the side of young Tell, calmly gave the recalcitrant arrow a smart rap with his spear, when it sped on its way and buried itself in the apple on the boy's head. --Pearson's Weekly. The Arrow Hung In Midair. An actor tells the following story: I remember seeing at a German theater in Wiesbaden a performance of the drama of "William Tell." I was told by the manager of the theater that the stage effects in the play were extremely fine, and that I was to wait until the scene where Tell's splendid marksman- ship was made apparent to see some- thing that would astonish me. In vain did the doughty Tell shake his bow to"iogg1s" the arrow to its mark. And not yet have I named the stron. gest influence that kept him there-his Quaker mother's eyes. Whatever else the claim of the Quakeress to beauty, and often she has no more than a healthy color and a homely pleasant- ness of feature, one loveliness she rare- ly lacks-a broad, peaceful brow, and eyes of a still serenity that has no name. And to her child she does not speak reproof, warning, sympathy and love, but looks them with these eyes, which speak the sorrow, tho patience and the peace of heaven itself. To of- tend against them is impossible.-- Thomas Wharton in Lippincott’s. I did wait patiently as I could until that scene, and I was certainly aston- ished. The scene arrived where Tell is to shoot the apple from his son’s de- voted head. As I gathered from the subsequent occurrence, the apple and Tell's crossbow were connected by an invisible wire, along which the arrow was to speed to the target. At the proper cue the arrow did speed half way toward the apple and there stuck, to all appearance in midair. Her Charity Work.

The Horse That, Led the Litrtct Brigade Died on an Ohio Farm. The noted white Arabian steed ridden by Captain Nolan in the charge of the Light brigade at the memorable battle of Balaklava of the Crimea was q11ar- tered for several years in the immediate vicinity of Cincinnati and died a natu- ral death at a ripe old age in the neigh- borhood of Morrow, O. It will interest many to hear that the Japanese laws prohibit a theatrical per- formance lasting more than eight hours. The plays in the first class theaters be- gin at 10 or 11 and are not ended until after sunset. There are intervals, of course, for refreshment, and a recent in.. novation is a theater yard for exercise, lined with eating booths and fancy stalls. Boxes are secured three or four days beforehand trom a neighboring tea. house, where arrangements are made for attendance and refreshments during the day, Full dress is never worn. When, the blundering order for the charge of the Light brigade was given, Captain Nolan was in command. As the men charged into the "valley of death" Nolan, on his conspicuous white Arab, spurred far in advance of ali-a fine mark for a Russian rifieman. With his sword high uplifted and a cheer on his lips, he was struck in the breast by a fragment of shell, thrown in the Rus- sians' first discharge, and instantly kill- ed. His sword dropped from his hand, but the arm retained its upright posi- tion and his left hand the bridle rein, as his horse instinctively turned back and galloped toward the brigade. As the tiles opened to let him pass an un- earthly shriek rent the air, said by some to have been the last agonizing cry of Nolan in vain effort to turn the brigade from its impending doom, but thought by others to be the result of no human will, but due rather to those "spasmodio forces which may act upon the form when life has ceased. tt The remnant of the Light brigade was sent over to Quebec to recuperate, and with them Nolan's white Arab, with two slight saber cuts in his side. He carried the marks to his death. After his master's death the horse was called Nolan. While in Quebec Lester Taylor, a wholesale cotton merchant of Cincinnati, purchased him and brought him to Cincinnati, where he shortly afterward sold him to August Le Broot. On one of the foraging expeditions of the Union troops stationed at Fort Mitch- ell, a few miles distant from the Le Broot residence, both horses were taken from. the stables. M. Le Broot was away from home. Upon his return, with the impetuosity and decisive action of the typical Frenchman, he started at once with his zouave in hot pursuit of the animals. Some four miles from home be came across them, tethered and in charge of a subaltern. Le Broot oov ered the man with his pistols while the zouave deftly secured the horses. Then he directed the latter to take them across the Ohio river into Brown county, o., he himself riding on into Covington, Ky., and straight to the old Planters' House, where the commanding officer of the troops, General Stanhope, was stopping. There he defiantly challenged the gen- eral's interference in the case. Nothing came of the affair, however, and after a time the horses were returned to their old quarters. Loath to dispose of Nolan and not wishing to ship him to France, Le Broot left him for some months to the care of Colonel Mason, (ir1aHy pen- sioning him to a farmmear Morrow, O., where he lived his life oat in peaceful retirement. - Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. Straight into the Russian guns, which were opened full upon them, dashed the brigade and "then they rode back, but not the 600. " The immense loss was "only counter balanced, " says one, "by the brilliance of the attack and the gal- lantry, order and discipline which dis- tinguished it. tt Le Broot was a Frenchman. The Le Brbots owned a pretty summer house at South Govington, Ky., on the cliffs of Licking river, and‘now known as Dinmore park. Luxurious quarters were fitted up for Nolan. A French zouave was brought from France to care ex- pressly for him and a handsome jet black stallion, called Sultan, purchased in Algiers by M. Le Broot on one of his numerous trips to Europa Nolan was a magnificent creature, 15% hands high, snow white, with mane and tail like strands of burnished silver, and nostrils like pink satin; fleet as the wind under the saddle-the only use to which he was put-with a swinging, easy gait, most inviting to the equestrian lover; high spirited, yet gentle withal as a fawn. Both Nolan and Sultan were regularly exercised in a ring laid out on one part of the grounds for that pur- pose. So docile was Nolan that the two little daughters of the house were much given to climbing upon his back during this exercise. If either chanced to slip and fall beneath the feet of the horse while in motion, he would stop instant- ly, and, with the zouave cry to the child, "Tranquiell Trat1quiell" mean- ing he quiet, would, with rare intelli- gence, bend his head and carefully push the little one from his path.

With the proverbial blindness ot writers he probably thought this playful sally, written to please his youngsters at their Christmas merry- making, far inferior to its all forgotten companions, of which he says in his preface, "Some of them have cost me much time and thought, and I have composed them all as carefully and cor- rectly as I could.

Berlin. Mr. William S. Pelletream in the in- teresting account of Dr. Moore's life which he has just published, tells us that the "Visit From St. Nicholas" was written in 1822 as a Christmas present for his children, and that a young lady visiting the family copied it into her a1- bum and sent it, unknown to Dr. Moore, to the editor of the Troy Sentinel, who printed itwithout the author's name in the issue of that journal for December 23, 1823. From the newspaper it found its way to the school readers and speed- ily became a great favorite with chil- dren all over the country. on? But the record of the antiquity of do- mesticated dogs does not even stop with the earliest known Egyptian monu- ments. Not only were such breeds known in Europe during the iron and bronze ages, but also during the antecedent neolithic or polished stone period. These have been described by Professors Rutimeyer and Woldrioh, and those who are acquainted with the difficulty of distinguishing between some of the living species by their skulls alone will understand the laborious nature of the task. Still these authorities appear to have made out that the Swiss neolithic dog (Canispalustris) had certain cranial resemblances to both hounds and span- iels, and thus indicated an advanced type, which is considered to have been derived from neither wolves nor jackals, but from some species now extinct. Two other breeds have also been recognized from the superficial deposits of the. con- tinent, and if, as is very likely to be the case, any or all of these races are the forerunners of some of the modern breeds it will readily be understood how complex is the origin of the mixed group which we now call Canis familiaris- Knowledge. Mr. Clarence Cook contributes to The Century an article on "The Author of 'A Visit; From St. Nicholas' "-Cliun. out C. Moore. Mr. Cook says of the ori- gin of the familiar poem: In the Roman period not only were right hounds and scent hounds fully differentiated, bat there were also va- rious kinds of lapdogs and house dogs, although none quite like our modern breeds. Even as far back as about 3,000 B. C. Egyptian frescoes show not only, greyhoundlike breeds, but one with" drooping ears like a hound, and a third, which has been compared to the modern turnspit, while house dogs and lapdogs came in soon afterward. Whether any of these are the direct ancestors of mod, ern breeds or whether all such have been produced by subsequent crossing is a very difficult question to answer, more ospecial1y when we recollect that if an ancient Egyptian artist had to draw the portrait of a modern dog it would be very doubtful whether it would be rec- ognized by its master or mistress. .
