WASHINGTONS HEADQUARTERS AT VALLEY
FORGE.
and Montgomery counties and but 90
miles or so from Philadelphia, it is very
secluded, the scenery is romantic, and a
visit to the camp will be a delightful ex-
cursion. There are the gorge and narrow
| valley where the original forge was To-
Gated, in TIT the only forge in the state
north of Philadelphia, and thence the
slope is gentle to the Schuylkill. But the
fort and most of the old camp are cov-
cred by a dense and tangled growth of
brush and vines, and one may go within
| o few rods of some well preserved land
mark and not see it.
Unfortunately all the big trees of any
value were cut down a few years ago by
local proprietors, and an oak stump 3
feet across the top Is all that remains of
that magnificent forest monarch which
| stood in the southeast corner of Fort
Washington. The remains of the fort,
however. are remarkably we'll preserved.
The people living near by are not at all
proud of their predecessors, for it is a
painful fact that the farmers thereabout
in TITS were nearly all Tories. They
would not sell to the army, and when
troops were sent out for forage the own
ers often burned it.
A clump of trees in a plowed field
marks the site of Fort Huntington, and
the main redoubt there is still almost as
it was whep the revolution closed. The
rife pits also are well preserved, and to
this extent the growth of vines and brush
has been a great advantage, binding the
soil and preventing the washing. In the
middle of a plowed field owned by a Mr.
Pierson and sacredly preserved is the
grayso 9 one Of Washington's men, the

still in good repair, and when the old
camp is cleared no doubt many an old
relic of the sad winter of TITS will be
brought to light.

The Gentleman Whose Financial Methods
Are as Peculiar as His Name.
Zimri Dwiggins is thorough Hoosier,
but his family was originally French.
The legend runs that the name was De
Virgins (and the Virgins certainly does
not look Frenchy), and that the uncul-
tured pioneers cut it down to Dwiggins.
Possibly the original was D'Ouiggennes
or something of the sort. In the olden
times there were many institutions in
the west known as ''coonbox banks
and "a little later many SO called FIRE.
banks, whose bills were popularity
known from the pictures on them as
''red squirrel" ''steel plow," 'sblue pup
''sick Indian and smooth monkey"
All these went to everlasting smash in
the bank panic Of 1854, and a sound sys.
tenn of state banks succeeded. The Banl
of the State of Indiana, of which Hugh
McCulloch was president from 1855 tx
1853, was eminently sound and success
full, and its methods prepared the people
to receive the national bank system glad

Emerald Isle in the year 433 he attempt
ed to explain the trinity in unity" but
his hearers could not understand it. AT
last he plucked a trefoil (shamrock) and
said, "Isi it not as possible for the Father,
Son and Holy Ghost to be one as it is for
those three leaves to grow upon a single
stalkT The pagan Irish were convinced
and o afterward adopted the sham
rock as their national emblem. -Phila-

Punishment In Persia.

Among the Persians the usual mode of
punishment is the bastinado, from which
men of the highest rank are not exempt.
1t is inflicted with very great severity,
frequently so as to render the sufferer
almost a cripple for life. The victim is
thrown upon his face, each foot is passed
through a loop of strong cord attached
to a pole, which is raised horizontally by
men. who, twisting it round, tighten the
ropes and render the feet immovable.
Two executioners then strike the sole al
ternately with switches of the pomegran-
tie tree we'll stepped in water to render
them supple. A store of these switches
is generally ready for use in the pond
which adjoins the courtyards of the
houses Of the great. The punishment
frequently lasts for an hour or until the
unfortunate victim faints from pain

The Curfew In Canada.

The ringing of the curfew bell is to be
revived in the cities and towns of Can
ada. Under the provisions of the new
law, or rather of the ancient law re-
vived, all persons under the age of II
years are expected to make for home at
the first tap of the bell. The idea is to
force children off the streets nights and
to keep them within the benign infiu-
ences of the family circle, rather than to
allow them to learn deviltry in the COM
pany of evil associates. The law is uni
versally applauded in Canada. and the
brightest hopes are entertained of its
beneficial effect on the young.-Chicago
