HISTORIC HOUSES Associated with Washington >oooooG nr NYTH1NG that pertains to the life of Washington is interesting ana particular ly so the houses he occu pied during his military career. There are standing at this day three historical houses which mark as many important epochs in the career of the great Liberator. ■WAmUmm \\ ashington, as we all know, was initiated into military life by the breaking out of the French and Indian war, which culminated in the ascendency of British rule in Canada. The march of Braddock through the wilderness to the bloody gorges of the Monongahela stands out as the most tragic event of that struggle. On one of the back streets of Fred erick stands the headquarters of Washington, a rather dilapidated building, with quaint little windows and narrow doors, the whole forming to-day a tout ensemble of loneliness and dilapidation. The owl and the bat make it their abode, the roof is sadly in need of repairs and the only evidence of modernism that prevails about it is the little cabbage garden betueen it and the street. A move ment has been started looking to the restoration of this historical house, which at one time sheltered our first president and it is possible that some day it may bo restored to its original appearance. The city of Winchester, Va., holds within its keeping on the corner of Cork and Braddock streets a small stone house which represents another i base of Washing*, jn's career. He was then the idol of the colonies, for his gallantry during the Braddock cam paign had brought him prominently into the limelight of the day. The little house which he occupied during his stay at Winchester has of late fallen into the hands of the cor porate authorities which insures its preservation for years to come. It is a far cry in Washington's life from Winchester to the final campaign it Yorktown. where the American rev olution met with its crowning success. Washington was now- at the pinnacle f bis fame as a soldier and the star f hope for the colonies was brighten ing ti e heavens. The long roll of Eng lish supremacy on this continent was beating. The American army. 15.000 strong, lay about Williamsburg. 14 miles from the “final scene of glory.” Washington was surrounded by such men as Lafayette, Rochambeau, Lin coln and Hamilton, and in the man sion where he had established head quarters were held the most momen tous councils of war witnessed during the revolution. The house is still in an excellent state of preservation. In deed. it looks as well now as when Washington’s Headquarters, Winches ter, Va. within its walls were laid the plans for the defeat of Lord Cornwallis. It was a brilliant military court that Washington held at Williamsburg, al most within a stone’s throw of Wil liam and Mary college, the alma ma ter of Jefferson, Henry and other dis tinguished Americans, and but a few steps from the bouse, now in ruins, where he courted the “Widow Custis.” It was from the Williamsburg house that Washington set out for York . town. There is perhaps in this country no place richer in historical associations than Williamsburg, which was the co lonial capital of Virginia. It is con netted with great events from the ear liest settlements to the civil war. Not least among them is the gathering of the Americans and French for the last campaign of the revolution. It wit nessed the preparation of the trap that caught Cornwallis and the bril liant reception of the French officers by Washington. And it is a source of gratification that the headquarters of the First American, one of his last in the field, is so well preserved, rising to-day in its original appearance above the tender roses of a southern clime. WASHINGTON. i High iivit all whom might or mind made great. Yielding Uie corqueror's crown to harder hearts, K\;.lt.-.l not by politician’s aria, ; Yet with a will to meet and master fate. And skill to ru’e a young, divided state, 'it' . -i- by what was not than what was done. Mono on history's height stands Wash ington. And teeming time shall not bring forth ills mate, i'or only he. of men. on earth was sent, I t all the might of mind's integrity; Ne'er as in him, truth, strength and wis dom blent; And that his glory might eternal be. \ boundless country in his monument, A mighty nation his posterity. —Richard Grant White. Washington’s Riches. When he died Washington pos sessed, including the land brought to him by his wife and the Mount Ver non estate, more than 74,000 acres. And this did not include his city prop erty. He was, indeed, a landlord on a large scale. Besides the lands he held personally Washington was partner in various land companies, though none yf these appear to have survived the revolution. CARLYLE HOUSE to be Preserved o HROTTOH the initiative of a few women of the old families of Virginia, the house in which George Washington received the invitation to become an aid to Maj. Gen. Braddock in his fa mous campaign against the French has been saved from destruction. This incident in Washington’s career is of special interest, for it was from the campaign which followed that Wash ington gained his first insight into the military methods of European coun tries, and of Great Britain in particu lar. The house is the Carlyle house, in Alexandria, Va. It was Braddock’s headquarters while he was in Alex andria. The Carlyle house was built upon the site of an old colonial fort which guarded the interests of the king and his traders when the neighborhood was known as Hunting Creek and Porch of the Carlyle House. when some security was necessary against the savages. The living rooms of that old fort became the cellar of the mansion reared over them, and In these compartments were stored dust clad bottles, bulging casks and those luscious old hams and the like for which Virginia was long famous. The old fort still forms the plaza upon which the main hallway leads; and it was there in Washington’s day that the young people gathered in the sum mer evenings to chat and to watch the moon rise over the river, while their elders met to discuss the ques tions of the day and to watch the trading craft that came from over the sea to barter the silks and satins and riches of the east in trade for the famous Oronoko. In the blue and white room of the Carlyle house—to the left of the main hallway—Washington was a sharer in the military councils of preparation for the Braddock campaign, and day after day Braddock’s regard for him rose. In April of 1755 Gen. Brad dock called together in Alexandria the governors of Massachusetts, New York, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia, and together these distin guished executives discussed the plans of the forthcoming expedition in this little room. Across the broad main hallway Is the great drawing room, which in Washington’s day was in gold and white, and there it is said the youth ful Washington took an active part in rout and ball and led some fair Vir ginian through the stately steps of the minuet. The broad hallway is not. without its sentimental interest, be cause local tradition asserts that it was at the foot of the solid mahogany staircase that Washington stood awaiting the coming of the fair Sallie Fairfax- on the occasion of a ball, and that the ballroom was where he pro posed to the same Sallie and was re jected. It is believed that some day that portion of the deserted hotel which now stands between the Carlyle house and the street may be removed so that the house may stand once more in plain sight of the passerby. There is little likelihood that the Braddock house, in its present condition, will ever prove an inviting place for the wayfarer, while it is a constant menace as a fireirap to the historic mansion shadowed within its quad rangular court. Rare Washington Relic. Mrs. F. Luis Mora of New York owns a Washington relic which, so far as is known, is the only one of its kind in existence. It is one of six medallions which were made to order for Gen. Lafayette. Before Lafayette 1 eok leave of the officers of his staff, the Circle, he had these medal lio nade in Faris and presented then i the six officers iromec'.ately under •‘tn. The five others have dis appear! i and may have been de stroyed. The one in Mrs. Mora’s possession is made of cut glass bound by a heavy rim of solid gold, to which is attached a gold ring by which it may be suspended. Between the two lay ers of glass is a beautifully modeled head of Washington in plaster, sil vered. On the reverse is the inscription, “Desprez, Rue des Recolets No. 2 a Paris Wasington.” Note the omission of ^he letter “h” in Washington. The medallion came into Mrs. Mora's possession through her great grandfather, Lewis Compton, to whom it was presented soon after the revolu [ tionary war.

Go to Boston from Washington State tor Education After Getting Capital from Their Home Industry. Boston.—"My sister and I earned the money to come east to school by growing bulbs for profit,” a girl from the state of Washington explained to a friend the other day. "We live In the Puget Sound district, which is said to produce the finest bulbs in the world. "Sister and 1 have been in the busi ness ever since we were ten or twelve Father gave us a small lot in the vege table garden, telling us that we could have all the money we could make out of it. Mother advised us to plant gladi oli and oaffodiis. Being fond of flow ers. we worked very hard every after noon after school hours. Our first year’s earnings were enough to return the money advanced to us to buy bulbs and we had five dollars besides to start a bank account. “This money was all gained from the gladioli, as it takes them only one year to make good bulbs. As daffodils only uave to be replanted every three years our second spring was devoted to enlarging our gladiolus bed For this we used the increase or spawn from our own bulbs and those we had sold There is always a lot of this spawn with gladiolus bulbs. This is one ot the points that make growing these bulbo so profitable. “The thirn spring we further en larged our space by planting a bed in tulips Fvsn then we used the raised bed method. Father had stipulated that we were to do all the work with our own hands, and for that reason the raised bed method of planting was chosen. In the flat method usually a plow is employed at least for the pur pose ot breaking the ground, and sometimes In making furrows In which to set the bulbs. “While the gladiolus bulb is easily raisea and cures readily, my father would not allow us to increase our bed until the last two years This was be cause there was so much demand for other bulbs. “We plant all our bulbs In raised beds 15 feet wide. While this requires all the work to be done by hand, at the same time it has the advantage of giv ing better drainage and the beds are not trampled. In planting bulbs we use a heavy dibble with a crossbar six inches trom the lower end. This crossbar is to insure the bulbs all be ing planted at the same depth. "My sister and I have planted as many as 5,000 bulbs in one day, and without workiug ourselves to death. I mean that we didn’t find it too much lor our comfort, as we were able to do as well the nest day There are be tween 50,000 and 75.000 bulbs to an acre, so you see how long it requires to plant an acre at the rate of 5,000 a day "At present our bulb farm covers just two acres of land. The outlay away hack in the beginning—ten years ago—was less than $10 invested In gladiolus and daffodil bulbs, tools and two pairs of heavy garden shoes. To day we could easily get $5,000 for our crop as It stands in the field. "Our tulips bring us in the most money at present. Here I understand a tulip six or eight inches high is con sidered fine We often have them 30 riches tall, with five and six perfecl looms. Many of the bulbs which we | ather measure three inches and ovei n diameter This is much larger than ne Holland bulbs and they produce >roportionately larger blooms. The in ■rease of one bulb often comes up tc 2 new bulbs, not tiny ones, either. "Another source of income from our nulbs is the cut flowers. These we sell by contract, just as we do our bulbs. The flowers are cut, sorted and de livered so as to meet specified trains stopping at our local station. “When we are at home we do all this worn with the assistance of out younger brother and sister. We pay them tne same wages they would com mand elsewhere. While we are here studying they have entire charge ol the farm and pay us a certain per cent of the profits made. "It is bard for the people in this part of the country to understand the dif ference there is between the two sec tions. With us cabbage and lettuce l grow out of doors the entire winter, our ground never gets hard and dry, as it does h* re, and the heat even dur ing the hottest days in the summer Is never oppressive. The growing period for bulbs with us extends from Octo ber to July, when > the growth is checked, and for two months they ripen." Man Couldn't Hold Big Pig Ohio Town Enjoys Novel Entertain ment—Oral Betting Ruled Be cause Mayor Was Present. Columbus. O.—Bill Minor, the strong man, of Reynoidsburg, stands humili ated in the sight of the villagers to night and the Minor home is without meat. He failed miserably in his ef fort to carry one of 5am Rickly's 225 pound hogs from Sam's place to his home. But Reynoldsburg was given an entertainment the like of which had not been enjoyed there. Reynolds burg has a proper appreciation of earnest effort, however, as the $11.63 produced by the passing of the hat for Bill attested. A movement is on foot to purchase the hog and present it to the defeated hero. A thousand people saw the unequal contest. Reynoldsburg poured out her entire 300 population and all the country side gathered early to gain vantage viewpoints From Milo, Grogan. Black Lick, Pataska, Dublin and even dis tant Gahenna they came In buggies. A light snow fell all the morning, making the hog slippery. Besides he was fat and his skin was tight. But for this Bill would no doubt have car ried off the prize. He lifted the hog easily, but he could not get a firm grip on his fat legs. Again and again tl wiggled from him just as he got it on his shoulders. Several times its sharp hoofs made red marks across Bill’s neck, but he was game. When he showed that he was becoming winded, bystanders helped him catch the hog, that being permitted by the referees! "It ain’t that I can’t heft the hog.’ puffed Bill, "but I can’t get a hold ol him." Cheers urged him to renewed effort, but after twenty minutes of as hard work as he ever did. Bill climbed over the pen rail and struck for home. There were no Jeers from the spec tators; he was a hero even in defeat. There were many bets made on the result by visitors, and considerable money changed hands on theresults. Various Causes of Sleep Michigan Professor Upsets Old Theory —Says There Is More Blood in Brain in Sleep. Detroit. Mich.—Experiments at the University of Michigan overturn a long adopted theory as to the cause of sleep. It has been said that natural loss of consciousness is due to a les sened flow of blood to the brain. Prof, it. M. Wenley’s experiments show the apposite. The summary of what has been demonstrated is: The slr.e or volume of brain in creases when the individual goes to sleep and decreases when he awakes. The size of the hands and feet in crease when the man is asleep and be comes smaller when he is awake. In some cases the brain becomes smaller at first and then increases as sleep becomes deeper. The striking evidence is furnished that the size of the arterial pulse from the brain increases steadily with in crease in volume, that is. the dilating of the arteries after each beat of the heart is more pronounced. This is particularly true when the subject is propped up. One of the delicate devices used in experimenting records a ‘‘breathing wave” from both brain and hand and feet. CANADA TO FURNISH WHEAT Dominion Minister of Agriculture Sees Scarcity in United States Within Few Years. Ottawa, Ont—That Canada before many years will have to supply wheat to feed citizens of the United States was the prophecy made by Sydney Fisher, Canada’s minister of agricul ture, before a crowded meeting of the Canadian club here this afternoon. He touched an important agriculture prob blem and dwelt on the marked growth of the west, recalled the time when Canada used to copy United States methods with respect to raising grain, but said there was none of that now. He intimated that the United States now raising about 700,000,000 bushels of wheat annually, would not be able to raise sufficient for its own people in upward of fifty years from now, when that country would probably have a population of 200,000.000. He touched on the bacon trade. He said it was a remarkable fact that Canadian bacon was sold in London and Liverpool for two cents less per pound than In Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal, while bread made from Can adian wheat sold in English cities for about half what it sold for In Can ada.
