"TOM“ MOORE’ FIBST_ SWEETHEA‘BT...
She Was the Heroine 01—His “Man. I Be-

To the present generation the name
Of Mary Dufi" 1s, known only by tradition
and by Moore’s poem, says Edward Bok
in The Ladies’ Hpme Journal.
career reads like a romance. . It was in
Landon that she Was born, 111179411111
christened name was Mary Ann Dyke.
‘When she was Scarcely 15, she was
k'nOWn far and wide as one of the most
beautiful girls of the neighborhood. Her
poverty led her to adopt the stage as a
profession, and she and her two sis-
ters, also of great beauty, became dan-
cers at the Dublin theater, where their
singular grace, comeliness of face and
person attracted immediate attention
and admiration. Whenever the Dyke
; _ sisters appeared, the theater would be
thronged. And Mary seemed to be the
favorite of the trio.
It was the fashion of the time at Kil-
' kenny for gentleman amateurs to give
annual public performances for the ben-
efit of the poor of the city, and it was
on one of these occasions, when the as-
sistance of professional ladies from Dub-
lin was invoked, that Thomas Moore,
the Irish post, was introduced to Mary
Dyke and immediately found himself
passionately 1n love with her. It was in
the play, “Fortune’s Frolic, ” that ITom
Moore personated Robin Roughhead and

Offered her, and she rejected him. It
was this which led Moore to return to

“Mary, I believed thee true. ”
wr-rv WE—STAND UPRIGHT.
A Special Complex Mechanism Is Required
For the Purpose.
We are so accustomed to standing up-
right as a natural attitude that few of
us think what a special complex mech-
anism is required for this puprose. A
moment’s consideration will show that
the ordinary explanation of the erect
position (the center of gravity to be di-
rectly above the feet) is insufficient.
When a man is suddenly shot, whether
from the front or behind, he drops on
his face, for the truth is that there is
much more weight in thei’ out of the
spinal column than behin.. Lt.
The fact is that when we are standing
a large number of powerful muscles
(both front and back) are simultaneous-
ly at work, the effects of their action
being to neutralize each other. Thus,
the legs would fall forward were it net
that they are kept vertical on the feet
by the strong tendon (the “-Achilles”)
at the back '1 f the heel. At the» same
time the mole as of the thigh are tight-
-1'event us taking a sitting
position, and the muscles of the back
are pulled terse So that the trunk does
not stoop forward. The head is prevent-
ed from dropping on the chest by the
ligaments in the nape of the neck.
That the upright is not its normal po-
sition is easily shown by the fact that a
man nods as he is falling asleep, for as
soon as the controlling nervous force is
deadened the head drops forward by its'
own weight, only to be pulled back into
position again with a jerk when the
brain becomes suddenly aware of an un-
usual attitude.~Scottish—American.
Citric Acid.
Enormous quantities of citric acid are
used in calico printing, in pharmacy and
in the preparation of artificial lemonade.
About 11/4 ounces (570 grains) of pure
citric acid dissolved in a pint of water
gives a solution which has the average
acidity of good lemon juice. When di-
luted with soy oral times its bulk of wa-
ter, sweetened with sugar and scented
with a single drop of essence of lemon,
an artificial lemonade is cheaply pro-
duced, which is much used as a. cooling
drink in fever hospitals.
It has also been used in the navy can
substitute for fresh lemon juice in the
treatment or prevention of scurvy, but
has been found much less efficient. In
fact, this artificial lemonade is by no
means equal to that made from pure
lemon juice, whether used at table or
for invalids. In rheumatism or rheu-
matic gout the fresh juice of the lemon
is preferred on account of the bicitrate
Of potash which it contains. Pure lemon
juice is also a valuable remedy in sore
throat and diphtheria. Cases have been
recorded in which children have appar‘
ently been cured of this terrible disease
_ by constantly sucking oranges or lemons.
Pure citric acid possesses, like some
other acids, the power of destroying the
bad efi‘ects of polluted water used for
drinking, but it is perhaps best to boil
the water before adding a-little citric
acid to it. —-Chambers’ Journal.

A PHILOSOPHER’S ATTIC.
Quaint Combination of Greenery and Hen-
nery Above the cay.
‘ One of the queerest- places in New
York can be found in what looks, from
the street, to be a funny little gable
roofed house perched jauntily on one
corner of the roof of the Windermere,
on Fifty-seventh street.‘ It is a conserva—
tory and observatory in one, a miniature
roof garden, the den of an attic philos-
opher, Henry S. Goodale, whose some-
what celebrated daughters, Elaine and
Dora, evidently got from him their
poetic strain.
The attic is reached by a steep nau-
tical flight of steps leading up through
a small square hatchway straight into a
wonderful greenery of bloom, a snug-
gery of comfort, likewise a hennery,
consisting of one fine brown Leghom
fowl and a single fiufiy, yellow chick,
and a dovecot, where there are softly
whirring wings. It is a charming bit of
Arcadia, high .above the ceaseless roar
and heartbeat of a great city, which
under its potent spell seems unreal and
evanescent, like the undulating, elliptic-
al rings of smoke that float past the
“attic” windows. The attic is all win-
dows, except the floor, roof and the sim-
ple matched board dado. The little room
is a symphony in green; the floor is car-
peted with dull green denim; the gabled
roof 1s covered with burlaps of the same
hue, a green wicker couch 1s cushioned
in green yachting cloth; a broad green
and white striped awning shades the ,
sunny sides of the little house , all the
carelessly strewn cushions, though of
varying designs and materials, are of
the same general hue, and green figured
denim draperies on slender brass rods
hang ready to exclude the whole outside
world if it is desired.
But it is the window gardens that
give the greatest charm to the place.
Long, deep boxes of country earth and
loam give sustenance to thick, tangled
clumps of spicy pinks, old fashioned
rose bushes and honeysuckle vines,
olambering ever wire network trellises,
which metaphorically kill two birds
with one stone by literally preserving
the birds—that is, the hen and her
chick—from disaster and upholding the
lacy green drapery of the vines. '
Of course the hen is not allowed the
liberty of this garden in the air, though
she keeps a vigilant and determined eye
out for opportunities to maraud outside
. her own domain, which' 1s quite spacious .
”enough to keep her halo and hearty,
apparently contented with her lot and
graciously disposed in the matter of
eggs. Dame Attica Hennica—whioh is
. the hen’ s classical name—evidently be-
longs to a fine Old Latin race of fowls,
and her neighbors,- the doves, are on the
nest amicable terms. —-New York .Press.
