Tho sleepers covered the six floors, lying in ranks, head to head and foot to foot, liko prostrate lilies of battle. For the general good, nnd to preserve something liko military precision, there ranks (especially when cold weather com pelled them to lio close for better warmth) were subdivided into convenient squads, under charge of a “captain,’’ who wa3 invested with authority to sco that every man lay “spoon fashion." . No consideration of personal conven ience was permitted to interfere with tho general comfort of tho “squad."

T|ie above literature belongs to an age that Is past, hut the old boys and girls of today can easily recall, tho dialogue and announcement as part of the house hold conversation of thirty or forty years ago,, when the candle was not only the light of the family but its oracle ns well. This was before tho age of petroleum and in tho infancy of gna when ■‘bougliten" candles of tallow or sperm were used for company, nnd the tallow dip was tho every day luminary. Candle making v.'ns one of the indus trial branches of housekeeping in those days. A cuke of tallow, made from fat rendered in tlio house, nnd a bail of wick- ing, purchased at the general dry goods store, furnished capital for tho invest ment. Then a set of molds, bought of a tin peddler—such as Jim Fisk used to sell from his wagon—and tlio work began. Tlio youngsters of the family were usually chosen for this. Thoy liked it. It wus eider than churning, nnd they had con siderable pride in pulling handsome can dles, anil there was just enough peril in ' it interesting. tho undertaking to make If the tallow was not just right, or the molds not prepared well, or the candles not properly cooled, they “acted." Some times, indeed, they seemed possessed. This was when the six long wicks pulled out, leaving tlio tallow in the molds to bu melted put nnil run over again. But if nil went right, niul six elegant candles were pulled, tliere was joy In the house hold. The nearer they camo to tho “bougliten" urtlolo in appearance and worth, tho prouder the domestio candlo maker. There was al io n test In tho burning. They must pot “sputter" nor “gutter." A certain aniqhnt of beeswax would pre vent this. They must not burn extrava gantly or to olio side, nor ho greasy to tho touch. And they must have preserva tive qualities mni “keep" wait There was economy in thoiq days in burning candles, which extended to tho way in which they were smilfed. A family of any pretensions always had several sots of snuffers. A silver tray nnd snuffers .was .usually nn heirloom. A brass set, kept in n high statu of polish, was used In tho parlor every night, tlio silver ones being kept sacred to company. Usually a rickety snuffer without any tray did duty In tho birchen. Ill many homes tho fingers did all the snuffing. They hecqmo so hardened to it that no matter how'liot l* pinch they took, there was no bad ef fect. Wo can afford now to smile at the economy of light in those days, when wo hud to light ono candlo tosoo if the Other was burning. Two candles meant bom-' pony, throe a crowd, six nil illumination. All tho corners of tho room were in shadows in those good old days, when spooks and goblins were within,easy roach., After all there was the glow of tho fireplace, with its fitful shadows. \Ve have lost that with the lesser light. The odds and ,ends of candles wore set up to bum on tlio altar of the kitchen, and on Saturday nights to light the hired d boy to bod. hand or tho hound boy to bod. Other nights thoy went to bed in tho dark. Tho tallow dip was an nttenupted ob ject that tormented the family like a poor relation. A lot of wicks wore strung together on a rod, the tallow was melted and served in a tub of water. Into this tlio wicks were dippod every little while, then hung across the tub till they cooled sufficiently to receive another "dip." When finished they look like the skele tons of candles oaten by rats. They flared and guttered nnd made horrible shadows, but wore accepted os light. Lessons in candlo deportment were given in tlioso days. It may seem an easy tiling to snuff a candlo; so it is—to snuff it out. But to snuff it gracefully and easily, using only ono hand,, and not obscuring the light a moment, is a work of art, Blowing the candlo out was also deprecated by tho old timers. It was either snuffed out or extinguished by a metal nlglit cap, which is usually fast to tho handle of the bedroom candlestick. Tiie ease with which a candle went out when a door was opened or a draught struok it was almost phenomenal. And it was equally hard to relight it. Do you remember taking up n coal in tlio tongs nnd blowing until you resembled n heav enly cherub trying to corix tho smoking wick liack to a liloze? It was n common experience.—Detroit Free Pve3s. Abraham Lliifitiln'a Lost Laugh. Mr. George Van Duzer, of this city, has presented to tho Grand lodge library a ponion of tho collar worn hy Abmlmni Lincoln nt (ho time of Ids as sassination. Mr. Vnn Duzer was present at Ford’s theatre on that fntal night, and relates the following incident: Tlio army tinder Gen. Lee having sur rendered to Gen. Grant a few days pre viously, Secretary Stanton, on tho 18th of April, 1803, telegraphed to Governor John A. Dix to stop tho draft, as it was considered that tho war was virtually over. At Ford’s theatre, Washington, on the evening of April 14. 1803, tho play of “Our American Cousin" was being enacted. In tho scene just before tho fatal shot of tho assassin, a garden settee was standing on the stage opposite the president’s box. Mtuy Meredith (one of the characters of tin* play), followed by Lord Dundreary (with her sliaivl thrown ever liis arm), came upon tlio stage, nnd the lady took a seat upon tlio settee. Glancing over first one shoulder and then the other, she exclaimed: “My lord, will you please be so kind as to throw that shawl over my shoulders 1 There appears to be such a draft here." Lord Dundreary immediately replied: “You are mistaken, Miss Mary, there is no draft. Tlio draft is all over. ” The president instantly saw the point and laughed very heartily, as did tho entire audience, who arose’ and cheered. In a few moments more the assassin had done liis work and a nation was hi tears. 1 —Now York Asylum. Trapnwtnre of Food and Drink. Professor Uffclmann, of Rcistock, pub lishes his conclusions, drawn from ex- per! mental researches by himself and others, on the effects of rood and drink at different temperatures. In brief, these ore: 1. A temperature of food and drink which ■ approaches (hat of the blood is most healthful. For nurslings such temperature ' is essential, 2. For quenching tlm thirst the best.tempera ture is from B0 to 08 degs. Farenheit. 8.' Very'n.t or very oold fond or drink in henlui lias a damaging effect, which Is increased just in proportion to the rapid ity with which the hot or cold substance is taken. 4. The upo of very hot and cold sulistances, following or alternating, is injurious to the teeth. Bnt the taking of cold water lessens tlio injurious action of extremely hot substances upon the stomach. S. Cold food and drink lessen the bodily temperature, whether it be normal or febrile. 0. Cold fluids lessen tiie irritability, and raise the tone of the stomach. T. Hot food and drinks stim ulate tiie stomach more than cold. But after repeated use they lessen the tone of the digestive tract and cause congestion and dyspepsln. Tills condition lias been observed After the so called “hot water euro.” Hot drinks tend to lessen bron chial irritation, ntld this 1b one cause, possibly, of tiie success iu some cases of the hot wntcr treatment of consumption. —Chicago Nows.

When you take your watch back to tho man you have just paid for cleauing it with the state* ment that it gains or loses five minutes a day and generally doesn’t mind its helm, he looks wiso, says it has been magnetized, and charges you another and a bigger fee for removing the “hoodoo.” Almost any one can demagnetize his own watch.

Paul Broca’s discovery that tho brain is a congeries of organs, each having its special function, is being confirmed by later researches? Professor Mathias Duval has had tile opportunity of determining —by the post mortem examination of eleven persons who, during life, had boon accidentally deprived of the faculty of speech or the memory of words or certain letters of the nlpliabet—that tho faculties of speech and memory of words reside in tiie second mid third convolutions of the brain. In each case examined there had been injury or disease of these convolu tions, destroying their functions. Com paring Gambtftta's brain with that of the into Dr. Bortillon, nn eminent statistician, Duval uiid Chudzinsky found that in the brain of tiie former tho third or "Broca’s convolution"—ns thespeecli center is now called—is extremely developed, while in Bertillon’s it is reduced to its most simple expression.
