The average ijdividual is obliged, however nnwill ftigly, to get up at a certain time in the coming. To provide for this require ment many iuuenimig perron have ap plied their talents to tlie pnxluctiou of ejntrivances for awakening people and J mpelliug them tu arise. There is a find of ledsteal, for example, which kohls its inattre-s in a frume that is re tained io the normal positiou by a catch. It the proper hour the catch, operated 7 clockwork mechanism, loses its pip, and the mattress frame becomes 3'Jtical instead of horizontal, throwing eepy bead out upon the floor. There is another sort of bed which (ts the head of the sleepy person drop hen getting up time arrives, one end t the mattress frame collapsing. But $e of the queerest of the patented Methods of waking people np involves Qe employment of a tin pan and a weight hung by a cord. When the lauds of a clock reach a certain point, Hie weight is released and falls upon Cie pan, making a direful racket An other oddity is a frame from which are expended a number of corks. During the night it is lowered gradually by a I clockwork mechanism until at the J froper hour and minute the dangling Tjrka begin to bob against the nose and iice of the sleeper. Of course he wakes Mf. The most obvious advantage of Lese sleep alaruiS is that they render anxiety on the part of the sleeper un necessary, so far as rising is concerned. He can snooze undisturbed by the neces sity of watching himself. Hayseed visitors in the city will in sist on blowing out the gas notwith standing all the newspaper jokes on the ajbjoct To provide against such aoei eVnts, a citizen of Ashland, Wis., has invented a little apparatus that is in tended to be attached to every gas fix ture in a hotel.

Supposing that the disturbance Takes you to life again, a clockwork Aecbanism will start a bell to ringing, while a red flag runs up to the top of the tombstone, giving notice that a Irompt resurrection is desired. Speak lg of waking up suggests mention of aTJme odd contrivances for doing neces sary things before getting out of bed in the morning. One of these, patented by a. lazy Vermonter, enables one to turn on the draft of a stove or furnace and then turn over for a supplementary an ooze. This, however, is a primitive contrivance compared with the inven tion of a resident of Providence which provides for the feeding of a whole sta kleful of live stock at daybreak. Mr. Sleepy Head simply turns on bis pillow Cid jerks a cord, which opens a valve jQ the staffle and lets down the requisite lantity of feed into a trough. There are quite a number of inven tions for lighting the fire in the morn ing without getting out of bed. They are all operated by clockwork. The best f them is credited to an Illinois genius. A clock is set for a certain time, and wtien the proper minute is reached the leohanism "throws" a lever, which straws a match acrous a piece of sandpa per and ignites the kindling. One of the latest patents is for a street lamp which las a clockwork apparatus attached to it At the correct moment for which the machine is set it closes an electrio circuit, at the same time opening tne gas pipe. Immediately the gas is ign it all, and it burns until shut off by the Clockwork at daybreak in the morning. lu this way the street lamps all over a cfty may be made to light themselves simultaneously without the interven tion of human hands. A citizen of Austin is the author of a art of water clock that is wound by rain. On the roof of a honse is a trough that catches the rainwater, which flows into the tank. When the tank is filled to a certain point, it empties the water fcto a bucket which is connected by a cqrd with the winding drum of an or aflnary clock. The bucket falls and by its weight pulls up the clock weight, thus winding the clock. Finally the kucket reaches the floor, when a valve fu its bottom opens and the water runs mil Then it ascends and resumes its original position, so as to be ready to wind the clock up again after awhile, Washington Cor.

"Don't leave mo, captain I Oh, don't leave nie!"wro the words that came to me with an agnized shriek from a blood ing and dying Confederate soldier on the evening of the groat battle of Mal vern Hill, July 1, 1803. Ho, a mere youth of 17 years, lay in a hffip, gasp ing for the Math which was fast leav ing him, along with the rays of sun light, on that sad and memorable day. I, for whom that piteous cry was meant, was a staff officer of the brigade to wh.'oh the Louisiana regimeut, the sol dier boy's regiment, was attached. Well mounted, I was galloping back j across that bloody fluid to report the duty I had performed when suddenly arrested in my course by the voioe of despair and woe, coming from my stricken comrade. The day was fiiNt passing away into darkness, a darkness that seemed to enshroud this valley of death. The torriflo cannonading on both sides that bad lasted for hours from the surrounding hills (Malvern hill being the central point of attack by the Con federates) was supplemented by the booming of artillery and bursting of shells from the gunboats on tho adja cent James river. Nature seemed to revolt at this scene of blood and carnage. Thunder and lightning and au avalanche of rain came in quick succession with such great force as to cause the stoutest heart to quake. This great battle was the sev enth day's fight to capture the city of Richmond. It was not an ordinary bat tle, but a demons' fight and the final encounter between those two giants of war Robert E. Lee and George B. Mo Clellan. It gave the laurels of victory to the southern chieftain, bedewed with the tears of broken hearts. Without stopping to consider what I alone could do for the dying .youth amid the chaos and increasing darkness of the night that prevailed, I turned back and dismounted to keep a lonely vigil with the dead. My horse, which, strange to say, had seemed frenzied with fear, became quiet and tractable as though he knew there was safety with his master. I called the boy, who had swooned away from loss of blood, and was glad to know he was not dead. Giving him the bridle of my horse to hold, I tore the sash from around my waist to bandage his torn and bleeding limb. The boy was praying and called down God's blessing on me. His petition to heaven seemed to be beard. The storm of wind and rain, although still high, was abating. Naught but the mournful wail of the wind through the surround ing forest could now be heard. The great armies that had so lately confront ed each other in battle array had seem ingly vanished from the scene. I was alone on a battlefield with the dead. Wet and dripping, with the chill of night upon me, I waited for morning, and he, too, the brave soldier boy, was waiting for morning. Oh, God, will it ever come? He clasped my hand with hope and confidence and seemed to be happy and without pain. I believed be had gone to sleep. Morning came, and he was still asleep asleep to wake no more. Daw son A. Blanchard in Washington Post ANCIENT WARFARE. Bow an ErglUh Caatle Waa Attacked la the fifteenth Century. Sir John Fastolf had by his will de vised his castle, call 3d Cuister, to John Paeton. As a fortification, it was an excellent defense against foreign invad ers, and as a residence it was worthy of royalty itself. In fact, the Duke of Gloster, afterward Richard HI, at one time contemplated making it his abode. While Paston was trying to establish his title in the courts the Duke of .Nor folk purchased a pretended claim to it, and sought to gain possession by force. The Pastons did not propose to yield, though the duke was then probably the most powerful noble in England, and John Paston was his liveried servant Four professional soldiers were sent up from London to aid in the defense. They are described as "provyd men, conning in werr and can wel scbote both gonnes and crossbowes and devyse bolwerkys and keep wacche and warde. They be sadde and wel advysed, saving on of them, whyebe is ballyd (bald) but yit he is no brawler. Ye shall fyud them gentylmanly comfortable fellowes, and that they dare abyde by thor taklyng." Young John Paston, aided by these four and by a handful of personal friends and followers, held the castle for several weeks against a siege conducted by the duke's army of 3,000 men. By the terms of the final surrender the besieged were allowed their lives and goods, horses and harness, and a respite for IS days, in which to go where they pleased. They reported that they were forced to surrender by "lak of vitayl, gonepow dyr, menys herts and surete of rescue." Edward IV had refrained from interfer ing in this extraordinary contest, be cause the troubles with Warwick were gathering thickly about him, and the Mowbrays were too necessary to be safe ly offended. isewanee Review. Smoke and Lightning. "On the approach of a thunderstorm French peasants often make up a very smoky fire," says Industries and Iron, "in the belief that safety from light ning is thus assured. By some this is deemed superstition, but Scbaster shows that the custom is based on reason inas much as the smoke acts as a good con ductor for carrying away the electricity slowly and safely. He points out that in 1,000 cases of damage by lightning 6.8 churches and 8. 5 mills have been struck, while the number of factory chimneys has only been .8."

The boys and girls of tho present day who become enthusiastic over some new sport and boast that their particular "club" has the very "nowest thing out" would be surprised if they could discover how closely ninny of tho old time pastimes resemble our own. The Eskimos of the frozen north, tho Tupiuambras of the Brazilian pampas, the gamins of the Paris streets, the boys and girls of Loudon, of Boston and of Philadelphia, have ono kindred tie the love of sport There is nothing new der the sun, said the wise man, and es pecially is there nothing new iu youth ful games. ArchuHjlogists have found dolls in Egyptian pyramids and on prehlstorio tombs; the uauie of a popular ball club was fonnd scrawled upon the outer walls of Pompeiian bouses, and one of the most exciting matches on record was the one stubbornly fought between the rival nines of Montezuma, king of Mexico, and Nezabual-pllli, 'tzin of Tezcuoo. The boys of ancient Greece and Rome played at whip top, and quoits, aud baseball, and pitch penny, and blind man's buff, and bide and seek, and jackstonea, and follow my leader, just as do the boys of today. The girla were I experts at seesaw, and swinging, and duncing, and grace hoops, and dice throwing, aud ball play, and, in Sparta, even at running, wrestling and leaping. Tobogganing is as old as ice aud snow, and when you play at cherry pits you are only doing what Nero and Coin mo dus and young Themistoclea did ages ago in Rome and in Athens. So, whatever the age or whatever the clime, boys and girls of the world have always lived more for play than for anything else, and however harsh or bard their surroundings, bowevor stern or strict their fathers and their mothers, they always found and always made the most of the time for play. Said a critic recently on the subject of recreation, "The sports of the day are fast reducing themselves into so many sciences, overweighted with rule and restrictions that often take the real pjay element from them and make them as unyielding as a problem in algebra. " There is no fun in making our sport a matter of life and death. I know grow ing people who in these days of prize giving in all manner of games center their whole desires not on the fun of the game, but on the prizes offered. They really seem as much disappointed if they do not carry off a trophy as if they had met with some serious loss. Let us take our fun with a jollity or not at alL Interest is one thing and irrita bility is quite another. We have only to watch the intense excitement of gome of the amateur play ers in popular games to realize that the critic was right about that algebra prob lem. The complaint of "unfairness" on one side and of disagreeable, triumph on another seem to be the most notice able features at the close of the sports of today, and we cannot help wonder ing if this was a feature of the games of olden times or if in this respect the young people of the present really have "something new." Philadelphia Times. Father Bran. No American poet has given clearer proof of tho possession of poetic genius of a rave order than Father Ryan. Cer tainly no poet has achieved a more en during fame and secured a warmer place in tho hearts of the people of the south than the "poet priest " He is distinc tively known as the poet of the "lost cause" aa the bard whose harp sings so sweetly and so pathetically the re quiem of a brave and a proud people over the grave wherein their hopes and aspirations have been buried by the mysterious dispensation of an almighty and all wise Providence. This fact puts Father Ryan in a nnique place, separat ed from any other American poet of his time. As io the high intrlusio literary value of the majority of his poems, of the genuineness of bis poetic faculty and the exoellenoe of bis gift of song there can be no manner of doubt Al kahest A Handsome Gown. A handsome gown made in Berlin is thus described: "The skirt of a mouse gray reception toilet was f figured moire, decorated with an apronlike ar rangement of openwork embroidery, the rosettes and flowers being made very plastio by means of a thick underlin ing, which permits the delicate shade of the satin lining to shimmer through. The waist was similarly arranged with a traverse empieoement of small satin bands, which fell over the jabot of yel low guipure lace. On the neck was a garland of wired points or tubs and white silk gauze ruches. Tho waist dis appeared beneath a belt of gold and sil ver braid finished with silver rosettes. The leg o' mutton sleeves were in the form of a spiral above, the plaits nar rowing in the lower part." Personal. Sawftleigh I tell yon what it is, there's some funny things happen in this world.

In its series of supplement recount ing"Tli Buttle Honors of the Services" The British Nuvy and Army Illustrated onoo in awhile says something about the British force iu the Revolutionary war. When it does, it i pretty sure to be iuaccurate. The cover of ouo ismia of tho "Bat tle Honors" has a spirited picture of lliiigg's grenadiers wiuuiug the battle of White Plains, where they won the minis of the "Slashers," because they throw away their f lutlocks and carried an intrtmchiuoui with their short swords. Tho picture i entitled "The Blushers at tho Battle of White Plains, 1775. " Tho buttle of White Plains was (ought, as a matter of fact, on Oct 88, 1776. It is stuted in the publication that Washington gout 8,000 men to oo oupy a hill above tho fml of the "Uruux," aud that this positiou was carried by the "Slashers" with their swords. It is also said that "soou after this turning movement General Wash ingtou, abuudouiug his store, retired with his army towurd Connecticut" As a mutter of fact tho positiou re ferred to was held by 1,400 Americana under General McDougul and was cur ried by a British force of 4, 000. Ouo would think from reading the British version of the fight that the "Slashers" whipped tho entire American army. There were other British regiments en gaged in tho work of carrying Chatter- ton hill, aud it is unfair to them to give all the credit to the "Slashers." Of what took placo after the position was carried the version given by The riavy aud Army Illustrated is deliber ately misleading. The fuels are that when the bill was carried General Mo Dougal retired to Washington's camp with a loss of 80 prisoners aud 100 kill ed and wounded. The British lost 219 killed and wounded. Howe did not dure to attack Washington, but sent for re enforcements, and on Nov. S moved bis augmented army to Dobb Ferry. Washington, being confronted by supe rior numbers, retired, uot toward Con necticut but across the Hudsou to New Jersey on Nov. 8. When a nation start out to write it military history aud distort it in some particulars, it make one doubt tho truth of all. The troth about the battle of White Plain would redound just as much to the glory of tie "Slashers" as does the perverted account published by the navy and army. New York Press. SHADOWING A FOOTBALLER. The Schema of a Team to Dowa a Hue eeeefnl III Tel. Several years ago a youug athleto named D -was conspicuous as a foot ball player. He was a swift runner, a reliable drop kicker and au excellent all round player. He bad proved such a tower of strength on bis college eleven that rival teams feared him, and when rumors to the effect that be bud received money for bis service were circulated step were eagerly taken by tho foot ball authorities of an opposing collego to investigate bis amateur stutus. If he bad received money, as alleged, be was no longer an amuteur and could be de barred from a place on the team. Accordingly an emissury was dis patched, with the usual oppressive col lege secrecy, to the village of S where the suspected player resided when at home. The father of D was a well to do farmer, and the spy, pussing as a book agent, experienced little difll culty in getting him to talk about his sou. "Famous?" be said, with no gnat show of enthusiasm. "Waul, I s'pose the boy is famous, but there isn't much in this football." "But a fellow as famous as ho is must get a good salary," the spy snggested, with a craftily assumed air of innocence. "Nope." said the i-mer. "Football players don't get a jry. " "That's odd," c-tiuued the spy. "I heard he was k-'-"Mg for cush." "Waal, that's rigut He is," tho fa ther slowly admitted. The spy was secretly overjoyed. Ho chuckled inwardly and fairly bngged himself with delight In fuuey therivul team was already deprived of her strong est player. "So he' kicking for cash at collego, is be?" be echoed. "Yes," the farmer suld wearily, "yes, he' kickin for more cush 'most every letter I get."

It was Kir Wultir fccott's dearest wish to found a house which should carry ou tho traditions of his greut an cestors, who were cadets of the Hcotts of Harden, now represented by Burou Polwarth. Scott reared Abliotsford ut enormous cost, but there bis work bo gun aud ended. His eldest son, who suc ceeded to the baronetcy, survived him only IS years and died in 1847, un married, at tho Cape, aud so the bar onetcy became extinct. His second sou died at faroff Toherun, also unmarried. Bo tho name of Scott wus left to his daughter Charlotte, who married Lock hart, the biogruphur of Sir Wulter. Her son, Wulter bcott Lockhart, adopted the name of Scott, but, with all the extraor dinary futality that bad overcome bis uncles, he, too, died unmarried at the age of 36, and so the estute passed to his sister Charlntto, who married J. R. Hope, Cj. C, a member of the Hopetoon family, and he, of course, adopted the nunie Soott. They hud threo children, but their only sou died in childhood, and once auiu a woman came to rule. This was Mary Monica. In 1874 she married Hon. Joseph Constable-Maxwell, third son of Lord Herries, who, as a mutter of course, adopted the name Scott. They have had six children, the eldest of whom, Wal ter Joseph Mux well-Scott, born in 187S, i in the army. He bus two brothers and two sisters living. Mary Josephine, who is married, wus born iu 1876. Thus it will be seen that the present genera tion of Scofcts have been in turn Lock hurts, Hopes uud Maxwells.
