Early Washington Birthdays.

From Harper's Young People,
 It was in 1793, during Washington's ad- ministation, that the idea of observing his birthday with public demonstrations orig mated. The ladies connected with what has been wrongly called the "republican court" were first to encourage the idea, and dinners and balls were proposed, while some special testimonial to the chief was advised. But storm of opposition arose from political party who tried on all occasions to belittle the first presidents olaim to anything personal in the way of homage or attention. They declared that to celebrate the day would be but the be- ginning of a monarchy. They stormed and raved, and said many bitter and un- just things of the man whose fidelity, skill, patience and endurance had led them out of bondage. But the other side won the day, and February 22, 1793, the sixty first birthday of George Washington, was celebrated with some display, but not 80 generally as in the years which followed.
 A few years later, when on the eve of retirement from his exciting public life. a birthday celebration occurred which we'll deserves recording. The opposition to honoring February 22 had quite died away, and all hands and hearts and heads joined in making this festival of 1797 as brilliant as possible. In an old letter I have seen there is an account of the days festivities, written by young mstron to her absent husband, which her great-grandchildren carefully preserve to-day, together with the fan ske carried on that memorable oc- casion. The afternoon was devoted to what was then called "drawing-roomn- like the s.levee" of to-day-when General and Mrs. Washington received their friends. It was, says another eyewitness,
 ssaffecting beyond all expression by it's be- ing in some degree parting scene. Mrs. Washington was moved to tears. I never saw the president look better or in finer spirits. But his emotions were too power | full to be concealed. He could sometimes scarcely speak" The lady have quoted went 'igrandly di essed" 10 the ball given in the evening at the Philadelphia amphi- theater. The crowd was tremendous. When the president and his wife appeared cheers rent the air. It was the greatest ovation he had ever received. Nor did the homage end with the ball.

 Nervous Docs Not Express 1t.
 'I had nervous prostration in it's fullest sense I in such shape I could not walk two blocks without resting, and would have severe dizzy spells at any time. My stomach was irritable and weak. would have shooting pains all over my body anywhere and at any time; also chilly feelings, and at other times hot flashes. I could not control my nervousness, was tired all the time and had a soreness across the back. My sleep restless and seemed to do nae good. had a dropping in the throat and @ tendency to hawk and spit, with soreness through the eyes.
 ''Now, after a short time under Dr. Roth's treatment, all my bad feelings are gone. can walk a mile and sleep, eat and opretty much Iplease, and can say that anyone suffering from the effects of the grip, malaria, or any chronic disease had better take Dr. Roths treatment, as it is thorough and reasonable

is fast orowding Switzerland out of the
 watch market, and there is no part of the
 world, no matter how remote, where the tick of the American watch cannot be heard. To-day American factories turn out 35, 900 watches week. Almost the only timepieces imported are repeaters, stop-wstches, and those having special movements which bring a high price. Comparatively few fey-winders are now manufactured in this country, the stem winder being easily the favorite watch. The farming population in some parts of the country, however, still sticks to the old style. The size of watches has dimin- ished, and only in the West can the big watches of our fathers be sold. A leading dealer was asked the other day if there was 3 watch trust. "No," he said, "only a combination between the larger concerns to maintain prices. There would not be so many watches made or such ruinous competition if there was a trust, as the word is understood"

The African Tsetse Fly,

MT. Bent in the Fortnightly Review.l
 The tsetse fly Is gray, about the size of an ordinary horse-hy, with crossed wings.
 Our donkeys, poor things, got many bites, and we felt grieved at their prospective deaths. We provided them with the only remedy of which we could hear-namely, handful of salt every night; but how this is supposed to act in counteracting the bite of the fly cannot imagine. Ample evidence of the deadliness of this venom ous insect is seen on the roadside. Doz- ems of wagous lie rotting in the veldt, bearing melancholy testimony to the fail ure of Messrs. Heany and Johnson's pio- neer scheme. Everywhere lie the bleach ing bones of the oxen which dragged the wagons; and at Msndigo's is @ deserted hut filled to overhowing with the skins of these animals awaiting the further devel- opment of the Pungwe traffic to be con- yerted into ropes, or reims, as they are usually termed in South Africa. Fully two thousand pounds worth of wagons, we calculated, we passed along during one days march, lying on veldt, ghost-like, as after battle. Then there are Scotch carts Ol ulOIc UT ICES Fdlue, huQ naQQeOE1e Cape cart, which MT. Rhodes had to sban- don on his way up to Mashonaland, and which contains in the box-sest an unused bottle, calling itself "snti-fiy mixture" an ironicsl comment on the situation; and at Sarmento itself, Portuguese settlement on the banks of the Pungwe, two hand some coaches, made expressly in New Hampshire, America, for the occasion lie deserted near the Portuguese huts. They are richly painted with arsbesques and pictures on the panels; 'Pungwe route to Msshoualand" is written thereon in letters of gold. The comfortable cushions inside are being moth-eaten, and the approaching rains will complete the ruin of these hand some but ill-fated vehicles. Meanwhile the Portuguese stand by and laugh at the discomhturs of their British rivals in the thirst for gold. Even the signboard, with "To Mashonaland" inscribed on it, is in its place; and all this elaborate prepara- tion for the pioneer route has been ren- dered abortive by that venomous little in sect, the tsetse fly.

Al MODEST REQUEST.

A MODEST REQUEST.
 After Chicago has got seven or eight
 millions out of congress for the great fair
 there will be another modest request from
 that modest town to be considered. It is
 that of "fonetic" company, which wants
 only $5,O00,000 for the establishment of
 spelling schools in the leading cities of the
 United States. The inventor of the new
 kind of spelling is MT. Charles A. Story,
 and he is apparently deeply impressed
 with it's importance, for he calmly re-
 marks: "The greatest of all the battles of
 all the ages is at hand. The grandest of all the victories, ever achieved by man
 for his fellow men, recorded in the annals
 of heroic combat, is almost ours. He who hesitates is lost. He who falters now is unworthy of the starry flag that waves above him, and the land of liberty that gives him shelter. He who is. hereafter, hostile to this most useful, most needed, most meritorious and noble of all reforms, and flinders it's victorious march, is an enemy of his country and his race" And he asks petitioners in behalf of the $5,: coo, 900 appropriation to sign this declara- ton: All of us desire that some such perfected method of reformed spelling be adopted in all the schools at the earliest possible day; and we all believe that such action will be for the general welfare and best interests of all the children, for the peace, prosperity and happiness and great est good of all the people, as well as the best possible measure that, can be devised for the national defense, and the perpetu- ity of our great republic.
 There are so many kinds of spelling | now that new one hardly seems desirable. | Of course the ''fonetic" company would take | great satisfaction in spending $5,000,0 | of the public money, but when it was all | spent the spelling of the people would | probably be as dubious and uncertain as it | is now. It is unpleasant to be called an enemy to one's country and ones race, but | we must confess that we are hostile to "this most useful, most needed, most mer- itorious and noble of all reforms"

 No wonder the owners of silver mines
 are anxious for free coinage. In 1891 the product of silver from the mines of this country was 5s, 330, ,0OO fine ounces, of the

The Wind of March.

 (John Greenleaf Whittier in the Independent
 Under the sky's gray arch; Smiling, watch the shaken elm-boughs, know
 It is the wind of March. The stormy farewell of passing season
 Leaving however rude Or sad in painful recollection, reason
 For reverent gratitude. Welcome to weary hearts its harsh forewarning
 Of Light and warmth to come, The longed-for joy of Natures Easter morning.
 The earth arisen in bloom! In the loud tumult winters strength is breaking;
 listen to the sound, As to a voice of resurrection waking
 To life the dead, cold ground Between these gusts, 10 the soft lapse hearken
 Of rivulets on their way; see these tossed and naked tree-tps darken
 With the fresh leaves of May. This roar of storm, this sky so gray and lowering Invite the airs of spring, A warmer sunshine over field of towering,
 The bluebird s song and wipg. Closely behind, he gulf's warm breezes follow
 This northern hurricane, And, borne thereon. the bobolink and swallow
 Shall visit us again. Ard in green wood-paths, in the kine-fsd pas And by the whispering rills, Shall flowers repeat the lesson of the Master,
 Taught on his Syrian hills. Blow then, wild wind! thy roar shall end in sing Thy chill in blossoming; Come, like Bethesda's troubling angel, bring The healing of the spring
