wAsHlNoroN's PAPER MILL
Where the Father of His Country Made a
Sheet of Paper.

Where the Father of His Country Made a
Sheet OF Paper.
George Washington's visit to Long
Island in the spring of 1890 appears
to be matter of special interest to
the paper-making industry. Here
with is given sketch of Hendrick
Onderdonk's paper-mill, where Wash
ington, with his own hands, made a
sheet of paper, which was for long
time retained by Onderdonk and his
descendants, and may be in existence
to this day.
Only a small hamlet was there
when Washington visited the place.
The natural scenery has undergone

tell his mother and frankly confess
his fault. There are many other
stories told about Washington's
youthful days, all OF which tend to
give one the impression that he was
a stiff, priggish little fellow; but the
fact is, that all these stories are with
out foundation, and very little is ac-
tually known about Washington's
boyhood, except that he was sturdy,
athletic boy, and probably very far
from being prig. In those days in
Virginia it Is not at all unlikely that
he was fond OF breaking in colts,
and, judging from his character in
after days, there is no doubt that If
he had caused the death OF a colt or
had injured his fathers cherry trees,
he would have promptly confessed it
at once, just as any other honest boy
would have done.
He was born Feb. %, 1892, at
Bridges Creek, Va. The house in
which he was born was quaint old
farmhouse, with high roof sloping
down almost to the ground. There
were four rooms on the ground floor,
with an attic above. When George
was years old this house was burned
down to the ground and was never
rebuilt. The family moved to place
on the banks of the Rappahannock
River, opposite Fredericksburg, and
there lived for many years, in farm
house much like the 'one in which
George was born. There was a large
family of children, and a happy time
they had, playing about in the
m eadows which sloped down from the
house on the river. George was large
for his age and very strong and ath-
letic, and this made him leader
among the boys. At one point in
the river, opposite the lower part of
Fredericksburg, it Is said he could
fling a stone across to the other side,
a feat which none of the other boys
could perform.
His father died while George was
still young and his mother was then
left with several small children to
provide for, and so it was necessary
that 14-year-old George should 20 to
work. But 1t was hard to find work
that he could do, and at length 1t
was decided that he should go to sea.
The boy was delighted with this
prospect, but at the last moment
Mrs. Washington's heart failed her
and she could not consent that he

STATISTICS from Staffordshlre, En-
gland, emphasize the fact that women
cannot work in factories and succeed
as mothers in raising fair pro-
portion Of children, the increase
of infant mortality there being
twenty-eight per cent. above the
average-already too high. DR.. Reid,
discovering this fact, asks If it does
not call for legislative interference.
That is easier than suggesting what
kind of law can avail to lessen this
evil. Until the state shall be pre-
pared to pension all mothers it can
do nothing better than to stop inter
fering with those who instruct such
women concerning contraceptics, OF
as the English say, "checks."

Jewish Colonization.

The Jewish Colonization Associa-
tion's first report OF the progress thus
far made in settling Jewish refugees,
chiefly from Russia, in hospitable
lands, shows that up to the goth Of
last September some 4300, 900 of the
original capital of G2,O00,000 had
been expended, half of it in the pur-
chase or land and the other half in
settlement of families on the land.
The colonies have chiefly been estab-
lished in the Argentine Republic.
One has been formed in Canada,
$50, 900 acres OF land in all have been
purchased and about 1000 families
have been settled. The council of
the association believes the under
taking can be made self-supporting,
and established on a financially sound
basis. Five hundred families will
henceforth be settled every year, and
1t Is believed that when the success
of the scheme is clear there will be a
large emigration of self-supporting
families. Each of the families set
tied by the association receives 100
acres, and Gl60 for building, plant,
etc, which they are expected to re-
pay in ten years. Comment is made,
that while all this is excellent, Baron
Hirsch's noble scheme can make
scarcely perceptible impression on
the mass OF Jewish distress in Rus
STA. 1t would take, it is urged, an
emigration OF $4,000 Jews a year
merely to keep down the natural in
crement of population, IL calculated
at one per cent. per annum.

THE Marquis Of Queensberry has
always held high place as authority
on the manly art of smuggling" But
no one ever expected to see him enter
the ring against society, and make a
desperate attempt to knock out in
one round the venerable institution
of marriage to one wife only. Yet
this is precisely what he has just done
in London, by giving lecture in
which he boldly advocates plurality
Of wives. The shrek which Mrs,
Grundy uttered when she heard Of
the preaching of such questionable
sentiments was audible in most parts
Of Great Britain. But the Marquis
holds firm, and says that he is merely
century ahead of the times. Can
it be that this eccentric missionary is

man will be kind of wholesale Nor

and temperament which may please

and strong. He distinguished him
self by his bravery and wisdom In
the French and Indian war, and
when our colonlsts decided to be no
longer subject to England, he was
made Commander-in-chief Of our
army. At the close of the war he
was chosen to be our first President.
He was remarkably large of stature
and very strong. He had the appear
ance of being about 6 feet 8 inch
es in height, but was really 6 feet 2
inches His hands and wrists were
very large, as were also his feet. He
was obliged to have his gloves made
to order, and his boots were No. ID.
The following fact will illustrate his
strength. When In camp his tent
and poles when rolled up were so
heavy that two men were needed to
carry them, but Washington could
pick them up with one hand and pitch
them into the wagon.
In 1899 he died at his home at
Mount Vernon of the Group or some
thing very similar, and his loss was
deeply mourned by the whole nation.
Mount Vernon is situated on the
banks of the Potomac River, and to
this day the boats, as they steam up
and down the river, toll their bells
when they pass the house where
Washington lived and died and the
tomb where he lies buried.

was running as a paper mill at least
seventeen years before the visit of
Washington is made probable by the
following advertisement in a New
York paper Oct IL, 1773. 1t Is as
follows:
1.-THE printer of this paper, in con-
junction with two Of his friends,
Henry Remsen and Hendrick Onder-
donk, has lately erected a paper
mill at Hampstead Harbor at very
great expense, the existence of which
entirely depends on a supply Of rags,
which are too often thrown IN the fire
or swept out of doors and are now
much wanted.
"'He therefore most humbly en-
treats the assistance of the good peo-
pie of this province and city In par
ticular to assist him In this under
taking, which will be a saving OF
some hundreds per annum to the coll
ony, which has been constantly sent

past forty years, the manufacturing
OF which has but very lately orig.
mated here. The highest price will
be given for rags by the public's
