and Make Better Time.
Falconry may yet be restored, as it
seems, though not as sport, but as
part of the terribly serious business,
war. A Russian officer, Capt. Snoilotf,
has been tanning falcons to serve as
dispatch carriers. The falcon has sew
eral advantages over the carrier
pigeon. saws the Westminster Ca
zette Not only is he a more wariiiSe
bird than the meek cousin OF the dove,
but he is swifter in flight and capable
of great endurance. The greatest
swiftness ever known TO be attained
by the carrier pigeon is fifteen Ger
mani miles an hour. but this is the
rate of the ordinary fight of the fal-
con. D'Aubusson, in his work on The
Falconry of the Middle Ages" tells
several anecdotes of the extraordinary
powers of the falcon and length and
swiftness of flight. For instance, a
falcon which was sent from the Canary
islands to the duke of Lerna in Spain
made the return flight from Andalusia
TO Teneriffe in sixteen hours, which
was at the express speed of sixteen
{German) miles to the hour. A Ger
man mile is not far snort OF hye Ing
lish miles, so that the speed of this
falcon must have been at the rate Ct
about seventy-tive miles an hour. 4
further advantage of the falcon over
the pigeon is the greater weight which
it can carry 1t is well known that a
very slight burden is an oppression to
the poor pigeon, so that dispatches are
Y.adueed in size by TyhOtOCrrarlbie comics
in order to reduce the weight for the
feeble little carrier. Capt. Smoilof
says he has found that a falcon can
carry weight of four Russian pounds,
or 1,640 grams thirty CRANES 60 to our
ounce. without diminishing its power
or swiftness in flying. Besides. the
carrier pigeon may fall prey to the
falcon, while there is small danger Of
any other bird taking the carrier fall
con a prisoner.

THE WASHINGTON FAMILY.

In the presidential campaign Of 1875 it
was often remarked as curious coinci-
dence that of the men elected president
every third one was childless. The list
ran: Washington, Madison. jackson
Polk. Buchanan and-but there seems to
have been break in the line, so that the
omen failed on Tilden. It is also worthy
of remark that these childless men had
singnlarly happy home lives. and none
more so than George Washington.
Martha cambridge was beauty ard
Virginia belle when at seventeen she
married Daniel Parke Gusts. Of their
four children two preceded their father
to the tomb. and when the Widow Custis
married George Washington in 1859 she
had but son and daughter History
gives us few exquisite glimpses of the
home life of Washington for the next
few years He and his wife were very
nearly of the same age: both born in
l7se: both We're wealthy refined and of
the highest standing among their Vir-
ginia contemporaries. Washington loved
the two children as his own There was
nothing to mar their domestic life.
But in 1913 Martha Parke Custis died.
and Washington was long affected with
a strange rtatlessness Indeed his do
mestic life never again seemed SO calm
till after the Revolution. Martha was
sometimes called the dark lady" or
dark beauty" because of her brunette
complexion. but she was both beautiful
and amiable. The son. John Parke

one of the famous Calvert family at Bal

Trumbull, although not so conspicuous
in the agitations which led to the revolt
Of the colori"s as Sam Adams or John
Hancock or Roger Sherman or Thomas
Jefferson. was nevertheless regarded by
Washington as the strongest friend that
he had to lean upon. 1t is probable that
he revealed more Of his condolences to
Trumbull than to any other man. They
were something alike in their moral quail
tiles. although Trumbull was of Puri-
tanic piety. while Washington was not.
though each of them was religious
man.
Some fifty years ago the Hon. Learned
Hebard was appointed executor of the
estate of William Williams, who was
grandson Of Jonathan Trumbull, and
whose father was one Of the signers of
the Declaration of Independence. In the
settlement of the estate Judge Hebard
came across a vast amount of CORE
spondence, including letters which passed
between Washington and Governor
Trumbull. Some Of these letters were
formal business Documents, others were
of a more confidential nature. They re-
vealed ON the part of Washington free
dom from reserve which none of his
other correspondence shows. One or two
of them contained that term which
Washington publicly applied to Gov
ernor Trumbull, and which for many

Some of Trumbull's correspondence
was also found. which shows that this
man of genius and clear intellect. man
born to be of authority himself. had
recognized in Washington that quality
of greatness early in the time of the
Revolution and before he had demon
strated it to the world. Trumbull's let
ters, while not extravagant. for he was
not the man to use extravagant terms,
indicate that Trumbull regarded WASH
ington as having been specially furnished
by Providence with those greater quail
ties. mot only military. but moral. which
were necessary to establish the Ameri-
can nation. He had almost the feeling
for Washington which Arnold had, al
though in his case there was personal in
timacy and almost an equality Of rela-
ton which probably no other man Of the
Revolution enjoyed.
Thus the impression and influence
which Washington created and exerted
upon these two men-one of brilliant
ability. but morally bad; the other of in
tellectual and moral integrity and Of
statesmanlike quality-suggest how it
was that to men of all quality the i'm
preston tina he gave was that of great
ness. exactly as to the greatest intellects

Connecticut colony, greatly admired Ar

ger brought the news of Lexington. and

with Arnold's military ardor and ability.
Arnolds achievement in taking an
army across the wilds of Maine to Que

writers to the marches of Xenophon or

friendship of Washington.
Arnold's letters show that the only
man in Revolutionary times for whom
he felt either fear or respect was Wash
ington In Washington's presence Ar
mold was subdued, gracious and respect
full. Some of his letters indicate that he
had for Washington feeling he had for
no other man. something of affection,

the life of Arnold that the only person
before whom he stood tanned and whose
authority he cheerfully acknowledged

Washington's greatness was impressed
upon some of the great men of the times
in which he lived even before the world
understood his victories. and there are
some anecdotes Evolutionary respecting
his relations with two of the ablest men
of the Revolutionary period which have
not become threadbare by constant repe-
tition. and which illustrate this impress
sion of greatness which he gave to his
contemporaries.
Two of the ablest men produced by
the Revolutionary era were Jonathan
Trumbull and Benedict Arnold They
were both natives of eastern Connecti-
cut. Arnold was born only few miles
from Trumbull's home. Trumbull was
a man Of great piety. splendid executive

THE TIDE OF CHANGE.

Innovations in the Social Traditions Of Our
20 ~ 4f,l British Cousins. q. 20
Changes are inevitable, not less In man
ners than in other things. Among advanced
proclivities Of the present, noted by an Eng
Ish authority on such matters, and Of In
terest to Americans as well. Is tho freedom
accorded to the girls Of the day, to young
ladies, to well brought up daughters Eng
lish society has changed its views about its
daughters; it allows them to take care Of
themselves in the morning and in the At
ernoon, and only thinks It necessary to
chaperon and look after them In the even
ing The line Is yet drawn with regard to
evening amusemeuts, and at all society
functions chaperons are still needed. But
even here the thin edge Of the wedge has
been inserted and with the seal OF fhshion
upon it; thus the Afternoon party' Given
by young ladies among themselves, 70 the
exclusion of chaperons, opened the door for
the evening dance" also with the consent
but without the presence Of the chaperons.
This change has hardly taken root as yet,
but it Is growing and is strong little plant.
To continue, it may be chronicled that
the freak Of fashion is now leveled at the
voice of the British society woman. One Of
the characteristics of a lady was her voice;
1t was soft, low, we'll modulated. Poets and
novelists bestowed this charm upon their
heroines. But now the fashionable voice is
high, shrill and strident. Our English au-
thority thinks it best described as IAN exag-
gerated imitation of American information.
These voices come not from the outer ring
of the circle, but from the charmed inner
ring, the highest in rank being foremost
in taking the lead in this respect. True,
American voices are naturally on these
lines-formerly regarded as a defect-but
quaint Americanisms and American wit
allied to the tones in which they are uttered
give them distinct originality, and with
out the one the other falls worse than fiat
on the ear, and the general complaint
among men now is that the girls Of the
day have such very ugly voices.'"
One change effected during the past year
is very decided-viz., ''the disuse Of Grape in
all mourning, with the exception of widows
mourning. There has been decided stand
against wearing Grape for some years past.
but the Princess of Wales gave it the coup
de grace by dispensing with it during her
mourning for the Duke of Clarence. Now
there is further protest against the heavy
Grape worn by widows, and doubtless be
ore another year has gone the modification
Il this direction will be very perceptible,"

an officer. who said to him that Benedict
Arnold had fled after an attempt to be-

But when these officers proposed to

scepter in his hand Washington broke
down. There was sorrow and there was
anger in his countenance and in his man.
