In this bright constellation of names Mao one shines brighter or clearer than that of George Washington, our first President. lie is one of those fixed stars on whose radiance there is no stain, and whose luster even time cannot dim. livery school boy and girl is familiar with the history of his Carly years, and ■ there are few, if any, who are not acquainted with his history as a man and a statesman. « The luxurious surroundings of his youth speak eloquently of the purity, the selfdenial, and the lofty patriotism of the v man who was so true to the demands of principle and honor as to refuse a crown from the country for Which he had risked his life. In this dignity of character and noble patriotism lay his greatest charm. As a' soldier and a statesman Wash-

Doubtless, since Washington’s time, other Presidents under trying circumstances have done well as ho. However, U was his firm hand and indomitable

courage that cleared the path and paved the way for their more experienced feet. It was he that created the American army, and while it was yet in its infancy, and devotion to the new cause was treason to the old. cheered and guided it through its long and' desperate struggle for freedom. When overshadowed by the dark clouds of disaster, and even hope had almost forsaken them, it was he that gathered his discouraged and suffering soldiers about him, and kneeling amid the untrodden snow of Valley Forge, prayed God to save the cause for which they were fighting even though their lives must be the sacrifice. Great cause have we, as a people, to be proud of our Union, not only as a nation, but as a monument to its first friend and defender. Mary F. Schcyleb. HOW WASHINGTON LOOKED. David Ackerson’s Description of the First President in 1811. Washington had a large, thick nose, and it was very red that day. His nose was apt to turn scarlet in a cold" wind. He was standing near a small campfire, evidently lost in thought, and making no effort to keep warm. He seemed six feet and a half in height, was as erect as an Indian, and did not for a moment-relax from a military attitude. Washington’s exact height was six feet two inches in his boots. He was then a little lame from striking his knee against a tree. His eye was so gray that it looked almost white, and he had a troubled look on nis colorless face. He

, had a piece of woolen tied anound his • throat, and was quite hoarse. / Perhaps i the throat trouble from which he finally died had its origin about then. ! Washington's boots were enormous. ; They were No. 13. His ordinary walk- ‘ ing-shoes were Nq. 11. His hands were i large in proportion, and he could not buy a glove to fit him, and had to have his gloves made His mouth was i his strong feature, the lips being always i tight ly compressed. That day they were | compressed so tightly as to be painful to i look at. At that time he weighed 200 pounds, ■ and there was no surplus fibsh about j about him. He was tremendously muscled, and the fame of his great strength was everywhere. His large tent, when wrapped up with the poles, was so heavy that it required two men to place it in the camp wagon. Washington i r WQuld lift it with one hand and throw it i into the wagon as easily as if it were a j pair of saddle-bags, ft He could hold a ' musket with one hand and shoot with precision as easily as other men did with ; a horse-pistol. His lungs were his weak : point., and his voice was never strong. He was at that time in the prime of life. His hair was a chestnut brown, his cheeks were prominent, and his head . was not, large in contrast to every other I part of his body, which seemed large and bony at all points. His finger-joints and wrists were so large as to be genuine ' curiosities. As to his habits at that : period I found out much that might be I interesting. He was an enormous eater, : but was content, with bread and meat, if ihe had plenty of it. But hunger seemed ,to put him in a rage. It was his custom s to take a drink of rum or whisky on I awakening in the morning. ■ Os course all this was changed when he grew old. I saw him at Alexandria W u j' THE DEATH OF WASHINGTON. B a year before he died. His hair was very gray and his form was slightly bent His chest was very thin. He had false teeth which did not fit, and pushed his under lip outward. 1

DOINGS OF CONGRESS. measures considered and ACTED UPON. At the Nation’s Capital—What Ts Being Done by the Senate and House—Old Matters Disposed Os and New Ones Con. sidered. s? The Senate on the 11th agreed to a resolution calling on the Secretary of the Treasury for a list of all persons, firms or associations by whom bullion had been offered (under the act of July 14.1890), the amounts nnd prices; a list of those from whom silver bullion had been -purchased, the basis on which an estimate is made of the market price of silver and the amounts and prices of silver bullion purchased outside of the United States. In the House Senate amendment to House bill to fix the rate of wages of certain employes of the government printing office was non-concurred in. Senate bill was passed to establish a record and pension office in the War Department; also Senate bill providing for the selection of a site for a military post at San Diego, Cal. A bill was passed extending the time within which the Choctaw Coal and Railroad C mpany shall construct its road through the Indian Territory. The House then went into committee of the whole on the legislative appropriation bill. In the Senate on the 12th the credentials of Mr. Teller for the new Senatorial tern, beginning March 4 were presented and filed. The following amongother bills were passed: Senate bill establishing pier lights at Ahnapee, Wis.: Senate bill for creation of a fourth judicial district in Utah; House bill to grant right of way through the Crow reservation to the Montana & Wyoming Railroad Company (with amendments). The Senate then resumed consideration of the copyright bill, the pending question being the amendment offered by Mr. Sherman to strike out the word “prohibited” and insert the words “subject to the duties provided by law,” so that foreign copies of books patented in the United States shall not be prohibited, but shall be subject to tariff duties. Owing to the absence of Mr. SheiA man the bill was laid aside. In the Hons* Senate bill was passed authorizing the Kansas and Arkansas Railroad Company to extend its lines in the Indian Territory. The House then went into committee of the whole on the legislative appropriation bill. The Committee on Coinage, Weights and Measures continued its hearing on the 13th. I’. J. Newlands, of the National Silver Committee, continued his argument begun last week. Mr. Newlands, in reference to statements made before the committee forecasting the flooding of this country witli silver if the free coinage bill was passed, said this could be prevented very easily by passing the bill with a proviso limiting the coinage to bullion, the production of the mines of the world and excluding foreign coin. Mr. Newlands was then excused and Mr. Holden, of Colorado, addressed the committee in favor of free coinage. In the Senate the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill was • reportgdL - and placed on the calendar. The House bill for a public building at Richmond. Ky., at a cost not to exceed $75,000. was passed. Consideration of the copyright bill was then resumed. The credentials of William F. Vilas as Senator-elect from the State of Wisconsin for the term commencing March 4 next were presented by the Vice President in the Senate, on the 14th, and placed on file. Among the bills reported and placed on the calendar were House bills authorizing the construction of a bridge across the Red River at Alexandria. La., attd across the Mississippi at South St. Paul, Main. The copyright bill was then proceeded with. Mr. Carlisle offered an aniendment intended to carry out the policy of the Sherman amendment already adopted. The roceedings were here interrupted by a message from the President announcing the death of Gen. Sherman. In the House,a Senate bill was passed authorizing the construction of a bridge across the St. Louis River between Minnesota and Wisconsin.. The House then went into committee of the whole on the Indian appropriation bill. ' . Terribly Aggravating. A high official of the government was in a communicative mood to day. He sat, tipped back in his comfortable office chair, and said to the Traveler correspondent: “I have made a discovery that is worth millions to bashful men. You know there are some fellows who never can go into ladies’ company without being embarrassed, but I have found out something that will make a bashful man the equal of the most selfconscious woman that ever lived. Now’ let me tell you my secret. I started out on the broad, general platform that a woman is more sensitive about her feet than anything else. Having settled that in my mind, I began a series of experiments. The horsecar is my favorite place. I love to see a queenly looking woman get into the car and sit down with the air of knowing that she is the best-dressed lady present. In an apparently unconcerned way I attract her attention by looking steadily at her feet, with an occasional glance at her face. Os course, I avoid all appearance of impertinence. I assume the air of a man who sees something that interests him. No matter how' calm the victim is when she entered the ear, inside of five minutes she will fairly ache to get to her destination. She may have the handsomest foot.in the world, and know that it is encased in a nicely fitting shoe, but she will wilt all the same. It is a woman’s weakness. I have tried it on young girls of sixteen and old women of eighty —the result is the same. Achilles was vulnerable only in his heel; but you can’t look steadily at a woman’s little toe for two consecutive minutes without making her feel as though she would like to. murder you. ” Boston Traveler. Eugenie’s Valor in Cholera Times. The cholera scare that has afflicted Europe to a degree has recalled an incident of the time when Napoleon 111. was at the height of his power. The cholera prevailed to a frightful extent at Amiens, yet never a day passed that the Empress did not visit the hospitals to superintend, so far as she could, the noble work of allaying the sufferings of the stricken. One morning a cure rushed into the waid where the Empress was consoling a dying man. “Oh, your Majesty,’’ cried the cure, “two hours ago my vicar was breakfasting with me, and now he is dead.” Eugenie smiled placidly. “That is well.” “Well?” echoed the cure, in amazement. “Yes, it is well,” she answered. “When once the cholera becomes as violent as that it ceases.” The Empress was right: from that day the plague abated. Eugenie’s valor did much to fortify the people against the epidemic to which very many, I am tojd, fell victims through sheer fright alone. ' p Popular Fallacies. That* men never read cook-books or fashionXmagazines. That the physician collects his bills witli greater ease than the tailor. That only the eye-glassed young lady feels that inward bliss which comes of culture. That a passion for fancy drinks de notes a love of the beautiful. 7 That every two-for a-penny liar is qualified for newspaper reporting. That the new tariff will cause the fivecent barber shops to increase their prices. That a folding-bed was made for any other purpose than the encouragement of profanity. That there is a woman living who has not in her boudoir a work on “How to Become Beautiful.”

BXCITEMENT IN ROCHESTER. Tli* Commotion Caused by th* Statement of a Physician. An unusual article from the Rochester (N. Y.) Democrat and Chronicle was recently republished In this paper and was a subject of much comment. That the article caused even more commotion in Rochester the following from the same paper shows: Dr. J. B. Henion, who is well known not only in Rochester but in nearly every part of America, tent an extended article to this paper a few days since, which was duly published, detailing Ms remarkable experience and rescue from what seemed to be certain death. It would be impossible to enumerate the personal inquiries which have been made at our office as to the validity of the article, but they have teen so numerous that further investigation of the subject was deemed necessary. With this end in view a representative of this paper called on Dr. Henion at his residence, when the following interview occurred: “That article of yours, Doctor, has created quite a whirlwind. Are the statements about the terrible condition you were in, and the way you were rescued, such as you can sustain?” “Every one of them and many additional ones. I wastwonght. so low by nejsß-feting the first and most simple symptoms.\_J did not think I was sick. It is true I had' frequent headaches; felt tired most of the time; could eat nothing one day and was ravenous the next; felt dull pains and my stomach was out of order, but I did not think it meant anything serious. “The medical profession has been treating symptoms instead of diseases for years, and it is high time it ceased. The symptoms I have just mentioned or any unusual action or irritation of the water channels indicate the approach of kidney disease more than a cough announces the coming of consumption. We do not treat the cough, but try to help the lungs. We should not waste our time trying to relieve the headache, pains about the body or other symptoms, but go directly to the kidneys, the source of .most of these ailments. ” “This, then, is what you meant when you said that more than one-half the deaths which occur arise from Bright’s disease, is it. Doctor?” “Precisely. Thousands of diseases ar* torturing people to-day, which in reality are Bright's disease in some of its many forms. It is a hydra-headed monster, and the slightest symptoms should strike terror to every one who has them. I can .look back and recall hundreds of deaths which physicians declared at the time were caused by paralysis, apoplexy, heart disease, pneumonia, malarial fever and other common complaints, which I see now were caused by Bright’s disease.” “And did all these cases have simple symptoms at first?” “Every one of them, and might have been cured as. I was by the timely use of the same remedy. I am getting my eyes thoroughly opened in this matter and think I am helping others to see the facts and their possible danger also.” Mr. Warner, who was visited at his establishment on North St. Paul street, spoke very earnestly: “It is true that Bright's disease had increased wonderfully, and we find, by reliable statistics, that from ’7O to ’BO its growth was over 250 per cent. Look at the prominent men it has carried off, and is taking off every year, for while piany are dying apparently of paralysis anti apoplexy, they are really victims of kidney disorder, which causes heart disease, paralysis, apoplexy, etc. Nearly every week the papers record the death of some prominent ipan from this scourge. Recently, however, the increase has been checked and I attribute this to the general use of my remedy.” “Do you think many people are afflicted with it to-day who do not realize it, Mr. Warner?” “A prominent professor in a New Orleans medical college was lecturing before his class on the subject of Bright’s disease. He bad various fluids under microscopic analysis and was showing the students what the indications of this terrible malady were. •And now, gentlemen,’ he said, ‘as we have seen the unhealthy indications, I will show you how it appears in a state of perfect health,’ and he submitted his own fluid to the usual test. As he watched the results his countenance suddenly changed.—his color and command both left him, and in a trembling voice he said: ‘Gentlemen, I have made a painful discovery; 1 have Bright’s disease of the kidneys;’ and in l«ss than a year he was dead. The slightest indications of any kidney difficulty should be enough to strike terror to any one.” “You know of Dr. Henion’s case?” “Yes, 1 have both read and heard of it." “It is very wonderful, is'it not?” “No more so than a great mariy others that have come to my notice as having been cured by the same means. ” “You believe then that Bright’s disease can be cured?”' “I knqw it can. I know it from my own and the experience of thousands of prominent persons who were given up to die by both their physicians and friends. ” “You speak of your own experience; what was it?” “A fearful one. I had felt lanquid and unfitted for business for years. But I did not know what ailed me. When, however, I found it was kidney difficulty I thought there was little hope and so did the doctors. I have since learned that one of the physicians of this city pointed me out to a gentleman on the street one day, saying: ‘Thei goes a man who Will l>e dead within a year I believe his words world have proved true if I had not. fortunately used the remedy now known as Warner’s Safe Cure.” “Did you make a chemical analysis of the case of Mr. U. H. Warner some three years ago, Doctor!™ was asked Dr. S. A. Lattimore, one of the analysts of the State Board of Health. “Yes, sir.” “What did this analysis show you?” “A serious disease of the kidneys." “Did you think Mr. Warner could recover?” “No. sir, I did not think It possible.” “Do you know anything about the remedy which cured him?” “I have chemically analyzed it, and find it pure and harmless.” The standing of Dr. Henion. Mr. Warner, and Dr. Lattimore In the community is beyond question, and the statements they make cannot for a moment be doubted. Dr. Henipn-'s experience shows that Bright’s disease of the kidneys is one of the. most deceptive and dangerous of all diseases, that it is exceedingly common, but that it can be cured if taken in time. A Daring Female Missionary. Miss Taylor, of the China Inland Mission, is about to attempt a journey through Thibet. This singular and interesting country, always jealously closed against the outer barbarian, has again and again thwarted the well-laid plans of some of the greatest men travelers of our time. All the members of the Inland Mission wear the Chinese dress and observe the Chinese customs in their daily walk and conversation. It is thought not improbable ttfat o Miss Taylor may succeed in adding her name to those of intrepid women travelers. — Harper's How’s This?

Changes of Climat* Kill more people than is generally known. Particularly ig thia the case in instances where the constitution is delicate, and among our immigrant population seeking new homes in those portions of the West, and where malarial and typhoid fevers prevail at certain seasons of the year. The best preparative for a change of climate, or of diet and water which that change necessitates, is Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, which not only fortifies the system against malaria, a variable temperature, damp, and the debilitating effects of tropical heat, but it is also the leading remedy for constipation, dyspepsia. liver complaint, bodily troubles specially apt to attack emigrants and visitors to regions near the equator, mariners and tourists. Whether used as a safeguard by sea voyagers, travelers by land, miners, or by agriculturists in newly populated districts, this specific has elicited the most favorable testimony. Keeping Track The manner in which the electric light companies keep track of the wires they string over the city is curious and very simple. A board about three feet long and two feet wide is secured and a heayy piece of cardboard is tacked on it. Then a diagram of the city drawn, showing all the streets. Now comes the laying out of the wires. Pins arc then stuck into the cardboard on each street, on which wires are strung, and around each pin twine is placed. The twine starts from the central electric station, and following it up anj’ wire can be traced. When there are more thhn one line of wires on a street the number is represented by strings on the chart.. — Philadelphia Press. THE WABASH JLIAE. H-andsome equipment.
