George Washington as He Really Was.
The New York san has an article on
Washington as he really was" in
which we are told, for example, that he
wore No. IL boot and No. ii shoe
that he was feet inches tall, had a
very red nose, weighed more than 200
pounds, and that his hands were so
large that his gloves had TO be made to
order. Many of the impulses and pas
sions of the ordinary man of to-day
Washington shared, and it is well to
make no mistake on this point. He
had his personal quarrels and fights,
occasionally swore like trooper, and
was sometimes to be seen III his cups
At the battle of Monmouth he swore
until the air turned blue because Gen.
Lee, either through ignorance or envy,
had failed to execute one of his com
mands. Again, on one occasion, he in
suited certain Mr.. Payne, of Alexan-
dria, who promptly knocked him down
with his hickory stick" To the late
Gov Wise of Virginia is credited an
anecdote which shows how violent
Washington could be when violently
opposed. He had sent note to John
Marshall saying that he wanted to see
him at Mount Vernon, and the latter,
having accepted the invitation, was re-
ceived with great consideration. After
dinner Washington told Marshall that
he desired him to run for Congress,
because" said he, eve need our
strongest and most patriotic men in
/. that body" Marshall demurred and
Washington became very angry. In
describing the occurrence, Marshall
said he thought at one time that the
father of his country would jump on
him across the table" For not obey
ing his directions or for lying to him
Washington soundly trounced his SER
wants with his stick. His bootblack
more than once felt the power of his
muscle. IL was the latter's duty to
polish the Generals shoes "all the way
up the legs" and if this was not done
George would take the offender by the
ear and "lam him over de hade with de
shoes all through de hall"
Conduct like this, however, did not
impair the devotion of his servants.
Nor did it lower him in the estimation
of his neighbors. On certain hot day.
while returning from church, one of
the young bloods of the country rode
rapidly by Washington and filled the
air with dust. The young man subse-
auently declared that never in all his
life had he been given such cursing.
Incidents of this description are SO
rarely mentioned in connection with
Washington that it is no wonder so

Might Have Been Worse.

There is an old saying that there is
nothing so bad that it might not have
been worse. Some people will dispute
this axiom, and can never see the sill
yer lining to the dark cloud. The
victim of the following disaster may be
excused for holding to his opinion:
Mr.. Jones went to an entertainment,
and by mistake sat on his neighbours
silk hat, reducing it to shapeless
mass.
At the conclusion of the lecture, he
arose, and the disaster was discovered.
The owner of the hat was naturally
highly indignant, and breathed threats
of vengeance.
Sir" said Mr. Jones, calmly, "I
was awkward, and no mistake. But,
he added, complacently, 1T might
have been worse"
Il don't see how it could" roared
the victim.
"Oh, yes, it could" said Jones. Il
might have sat down on my own hat. /"

Effects or VI assage.

An Anonymous writer in medical
journal gives the following description
of massage: upon the nervous sys-
tenn massage exerts a delightful and at
the same time profoundly sedative
and tonic effect. While it is being
performed, and often for hours after
ward, those who submit to it are lii a
blissful state of repose; they feel as if
they were enjoying long rest, or as if
they had just returned from long
vacation: it makes optimists of them
for the time being. An aptitude for
either rest or work generally follows,
with an indifference TO the ordinary
cares of life, and needless apprehen-
sions are dispelled. Hence, it has
been recommended by high authori-
ties. Sen Francisco Argonam.

Some Mexican SuperstitiOns.

1t is believed that the murderer who
has slain his victim with sword or dag
ger will escape if the body falls upon
its side or back but if the body falls
face downward, then the murderer
surely soon will be captured and put
to death. This belief is said to be so
firmly rooted among the people of
Northeastern Mexico, that when muir
dered man falls upon his face his slay-
er makes no effort to escape, and even
sometimes voluntarily surrenders him
self to justice.
If bride, while dressing for her
wedding, is pricked by q pin so that

thing at the same time, soul is loosed
