Thomas Jefferson, as near as any man, may be called the patron t of the Fourth of July because he te the instrument whose adoption that holiday, and his name further associated with the date on this day in 1826 he died, briefest summary of the events in life is as follows: ‘Thomas Jefferson was born at well,' Albemarle County, Va., ril 13, 1743. On his tomb at [onticello is, ‘Born April 2d, 1743, S.' He died at Monticello, near 1 o’clock p. m. ‘He advocated common schools and would have been done by others, some of them, perhaps, a little better.* Then follows his account of what he did. Abridged they are: IN THE FOREST. Who knows where the graveyard Is Where the fox and the eagle lief Who has seen the obsequies Of the red deer when they die? With Death they iteal awnv Out of tbe sight of the sun; Out of the sight of the living, they Pay the debt and are done. Ko marble marks the place; The common forest brown Covers them over with Quaker grace Just where they laid them down. But In a few years, if you see In summer a deeper green Here and there, it is like to be The spot where the bones have been. Thus, nor more, to the poor dead year, No grave, nor ghostly stone, But a greener life and a warmer cheer Be the only sign that he’s gone. —William Herbert Carruth. PITH AND POINT. ?

The working day is limited to eight hours.” ' It is a remarkable fact, says an Eng lish paper, that the very means of life may be the cause of death. A whale may be drowned, and now a scientist tells us that there seems to be a pe culiar fatality among fishes. After reaching a certain depth of water, the swimming bladders become distended by the pressure of air, and the fish literally explode. Too much of one’s native element may bring about most disastrous consequences. A sudden change of air from one density to an other may cause the rupture of a blood vessel, and a too sudden change of temperature has produced like re sults. Extremes of all sorts are not only very injurious, but are likely to prove fatal, especially to organisms that are not in the enjoyment of robust health. One of the comforting items among many of most painful portent in these war-fevered days is that the hospital ship Solace, well equipped and full of comforts for the disabled, has reached Key West; and the announcement takes the mind back more than forty years, to the awful scenes and suffer ings witnessed in the Crimean War be fore the trained nurse had made her appearance among English-speaking peoples, and to the time when all the world was startled by the announce ment that Miss Florence Nightingale, an English gentlewoman and a grad uate of Kaiserwerth, in Germany, had taken out several women nurses to Se vastopol. No greater progress has been made in medicine itself, astonish ing as that is, daring the nearly half a century that has elapsed, than in the art of intelligently caring for the sick and wounded anc^npplementing of the doctor’s efforts by those offices which all acknowledge are often more than half the battle against disease. GIRLS* BLOUSE REEFER. down to the waist line, where they cross and are passed round to the back, at the centre of which they are caught in a knot. The sleeves are fall and arranged in three groups of narrow puffs, with a fall soft puff at each shoulder, over which fall the frills which form epaulettes. At the neck is a soft draped collar of the silk, which terminates in a rosette an der the chin. To cut this waist for a lady of me dium size four and one-half yards of material twenty-two inches wide will be required. Girls' Hloasc Ilpi-fpr. The combination of reefer collar and blouse jacket showu in the large‘Illus tration is both novel and stylish. As here given the material is covert cloth banded with braid, and the garment is designed for general wear with any gown, but all suiting materials, as well as cloth of various sorts, can be treated in a similar manner. The seamless back and pouched fronts are joined by shoulder and nn- der-arm seams, the basque portion being separate and seamed to the jacket at the waist-line. The right front laps well over the left, where the closing is effected by means of buttons and buttonholes, an additional row of buttons being added to give the double Ireasted effect. The neck is slightly open at the front and is fin ished with a deep collar that is square at the back and is finished with rows of braid. The sleeves are two-seamed and fit snugly. The garment is lined throughout with changeable taffeta bine and green. To make this blouse for a girl of eight years of age one and a half yards of material fifty-four inches wide will be required. A Pretty Scarf. The Roman scarf, with plain or fringed ends, especially the patriotic variety, when the bars are red^ white and blue, with a slight predonunance of the red, is very much in vogue. Besides its old use as an article of neckwear, it is used ae a sash, a belt, a hat band and a hat trimming. Patriotic girls tie the narrow ones to parasol tips, walking sticks, bicycle handles, baby carriages and the har ness of family horses. ^The brilliancy skill of a medical missionary, brought into contact day by day with dreadful cases of poverty, suffering, vice and degradation, cannot be imagined. Wrap For Wee Folk*. No wrap for wee folks’ wear is more popular or more becoming than the long coat made with a yoke. The mould given is of bengaliue, in a de licious shade of pink, and is trimmed with ruches and bands of ribbon, but the pattern is equally well suited to light weight wools and to both pique and linen crash. The foundation is a short body lining to which the yoke is faced, and to which tbe pleated skirt is attached. The fanciful collarJia cut in squares, and adds greatly to the effect, at the same time that it con ceals the joining of skirt and yoke. The sleeves are two-seamed and in coat shape. At the neck is a rollover collar. As illustrated the skirt is lined with India silk, but in the case of washable materials should be simply hemmed. Tho closing is effected in visibly at the centre-frout by means “He suggested the dollar as the unit of value. “He was largely responsible for the location of the capital at Washington. “In Congress iu 1783-1784,he voted to ratify the treaty of peace with Great Britain—settling the war his Declara tion of Independence had helped to make, and presented to Congress the Virginia deed of cession of her lands northwest of the River Ohio to the Upited States for public domain. “March 1, 1784, in Congress, he re ported from a committee and all in his handwriting a plan for the temporary the act concerning citizens, and estab lishing the natural right of man to ex patriate himself at will, of the act changing the course of descents and giving the inheritance to all children equally, and of the act for apportioning crimes and punishments. He intro duced the olive tree into South Caro lina from France in 1789-1790, and brought upland rice into South Caro lina from Africa in 1790. He makes no mention, of his service in Congress or his acts while President and does not mention having founded the Uni versity of Virginia. He was a modest man in respect to his public acts. While President he purchased the pro vince of Louisana from France in 1803. “He sent Lewis and Clark and Pike to explore the Western country. He tried to enforce national rights by em bargo instead of by war. He reduced tbe public debt, aided trade and com merce and provided a system of sea coast and tidewater defenses.” Tho house in which the Declaration of Independence was written was No. 230 High street, afterwards No. 700 Market street, and located on the southwest corner of Seventh and Mar ket streets, Philadelphia.

A Most Unique Decoration. The Order of St. John of Jerusalem is unique among the orders of the world. It is a sovereign order, not dependent on a king or prince, but in dependent, and standing on its own feet. Its knights used to own the Island of Malta, whence it was driven by the French in 1798. Then the Grand Magistracy of the order wan dered about until 1834, since which time it has been in Rome. From 1798 to 1879 there was no Grand Master, tho office being administered by a Lieutenant. In 1879 Leo XIII. ap pointed the then Lieutenant, Signor Jean Baptiste CeschiaSanta Croce, to be Grand Master, and the order has picked up a bit. There was four Gran d Priors, for Rome, Bohemia, Lombardy, and Venice, and the two Sicilies (be sides the Grand Priory of England), and the Grand Master has an envoy at the Austrian court. The English Grand Priory is not in full brother hood with the order.—New York Sun. • The Knot. A knot is the nautical synonym for the geographical mile. The geograph ical mile is one-sixtieth of a mean degree of a meridian on the earth, and is, therefore, one-sixtieth of 69.09 English statute miles, or, what is the flame thing, the length of the geo graphical mile, or knot, or nautical mile as it is also called, is 6000 feet. Hence, when a ship has gone one xnofit has gone 1.1515 statute miles, or what is nearly the same thing, a ship which is running thirteen knots an hour is traveling at the same speed as a railway train which is going fif. teen miles an hour. The name is derived from the knots tied on the appendages of a ship’s log line.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
