As to Giants.

As rule, giants are not long-lived.
They have too many gauntlets to run;
being giants-that being anything
over six feet six-they naturally drift
into the show business and are thence.

rooms, and in the dingy and effluvia,
laden air of the exhibition room.
Their not overresisting lungs here in
hale the combined effiuvis and aroma
that arise from the lungs, skin and
not overclean or over-well-alred
clothes of their many admirers, all of
which is not conducive to either
health or to long life. 1t would seem
reasonable to believe that a giant be
he seven or ten feet tall--who is WE'LL
formed, and who has every organ in n
Just proportion to his bulk, should
live as long as small man or as long
rs his heredity might otherwise permit !;
reasoning theoretically this would
seem probable, but when we come to
we'll analyze the subject and compare
the actual facts we find that something
or other always goes wrong and that
owing to many an 'if," we find that
our giant dies early as rule. Some
one organ goes wrong and the great
machine comes to stop; or some or
gan does not keep pace with the rest
of the increase in bulk, and he goes
hating and squeaking, or either an
oyerwork or an underworld here or
there and physiological inadequacy
of some sort is the result, with q
general deterioration of the whole
structure and with finally premature
death. In other words, there is sure
to be failing link in the physiologi-
cal scheme of these abnormal beings,
which, by giving way. breaks the con-
tinuity of the chain of life, and that,
independent of any of these moral de-
linquencies which are but too often
the cause of an early breakdown. 1t
is simply that the whole structure
would not work abnormally in every
detail. National Popular Review.

History tells us of the personal
reconnaissance of Washington and
Lafayette around Elk Landing, Md. 4,
when the British debarked at that
point, from whence they marched to
the Brandywine, Penn. It also states
that they camped upon Chestnut Hill,
Del, from which point the Upper
Chesapeake is distinctly visible.
They made an ear y start from their

house which stands about one hundred
yards from the road, to try for q
breakfast. They were graciously re-
ceived by the lady of the house and
found table nicely set and the break

Lafayette manifested great delight
at their good luck, and they were soon
seated. The lady of the house, leav-
ing the room for moment, Washing
ton touched Lafayette under the table
with his foot and said: SEAT in a
hurry; this breakfast was not meant
for u.s." He took the hint, andit was
not long before they were again in the
saddle, after expressing many thanks
for the hospitality. Upon turning a
bend in the road they looked back and
saw Lord Howe and his staff, the ex.
pected guests, turn into the farm

After the death of Augustine WASH
ington, the Wakefield property was
inherited by his son, Augustine, Jr.,
Georges next youngest brother. on
attaining his majority. Years after
ward it came into the possession of
Colonel Lewis W. Washington, when
a reservation was made of the spo.
which the old house had occupied. In
1893 this reservation, together with
the burial plot at Bridges Creek, was
presented to the State of Virginia by
ITS owners upon condition that the
place be enclosed and fitting monu-
ment inscribed as the birthplace of
Washington. But this was not done,
and subsequently the Virginia Legis-
lature ceded back the reservations to
the last owner, Mr.. John E. Wilson,
the husband of Betty Washington,
whose grandfather was William Angus
tine Washington, the half-nephew of
George.
In 1879 the need of a proper me-
mortal to mark the Washington birth
site was called to the attention of Con-
gress, and in June of that year an ap-
preparation of $4,000 was granted for
monument, to be erected under the
supervision of the Secretary of State
In the early spring of 1880 William
M. Eyarts, then Secretary of State, and
much Interested in the success of the
project, visited the place and exerted
himself in the consideration of plans
and designs for the monument. In
May following he reported to the
House of Representatives his opinion
that $50, 900, instead of $4,000. would
be necessary to provide such struc-
ture as the nature and dignity of the
! subject demanded, and as a result the
/ appropriation was increased by Con-
gress in February, 1884, to the higher
| figure, but from one cause and another
nothing further was done, and the
project was allowed to drop until
February, 1898, when Congress author.

"mansion' was in truth but very
ordinary farm house, even in its primi-
tive day. But there is little question
that the hero mother and her worthy
husband lived an ideal country life
there, in the midst of their prosperous
plantation, attended by the usual com
plement of slaves, and dispensing to
all comers the generous hospitality
characteristic of the old Virginia fami-
lies in Colonial days. The most dis
tinctive features of the house were its
immense chimneys on each end, built
from the ground on the outside of the
frame dwelling-so large, indeed, as
to make the house look disproportion-
ately small in comparison with them.
Each wide fireplace is said to have had
capacity sufficient for q cord of wood
at one time. The building had but
one floor and an attic under the big
hip-roof, which was broken by dormer
windows to admit the light. At the
front was wide porch, extending the
whole width of the house. On the
right side of the entrance was the par
lor, and it's fireplace was decorated,
after the fashion of that time in the
dwellings of the well-to-do, with blue
Dutch tiles of quaint design. There
were but three other rooms OF fair size
on the first floor, the largest being in
the one-story extension at the back,
used as sleeping chamber by Angus
tine and Mary. In that comparatively
humble room the greatest American
was born, February, %, 1871. There
also, besides his sister Betty, who
was born in June, 1888, his brother
Samuel first saw the light, in Novem-
ber, 1874.
The house stood back about hun
dred yards from the bank of Pope's
Creek. about half mile southwest
from the Potomac in straight line.
The plantation was triangular
shaped track, bounded by the Potomac
and Bridges and Popes Creeks, and
comprised somewhat over 1000 acres
of wood and bottom land, on which
were produced large crops of tobacco
for export. The trading vessels of that
day being mostly of light draught, no
difficulty was encountered in mooring
close to shore and taking on their car
goes of tobacco direct from the fields
where the weed had been produced.
When George Washington was but
little over four years old the historic
house was accidentally destroyed by
fire. The burning happened on a
windy day in April, 1875. The slaves
in the yard were burning brush and
other "trash," as is usual in the
spring, when suddenly some sparks
were carried from the burning heap to
the dry shingles of the home roof In
few moments the whole structure
was wrapped in flames. Augustine
Washington, the father, was absent at
the time, and Mary, the mother, took
command in his stead. Under her dl'
rection the family furniture and valu-
ables were removed by the slaves to q
place OF safety, and then, without
wasting time in idle lamentation, she
set all hands to assist in making uE
beds and preparing supper In cabir
at the rear, which fortunately had es'
capped burning.

RENEW THEIR OFFER.
DaSerhII Strikers VIII Return to Work
Tending Decision of ArbitratOrs

The Haverhiu, Mass, shoe strikers are
wiling to settle. I'll is the announcement
naLe by the leaders, md it has caused big
sensation. Agent Pomeroy sald Every man
20" on strike will return to work at once,
provided the manufacturers will accept our
terms, which believe to be fair and equit
able In every way What we ask is this;
flrst, that the matter of prcss be left for
adjustment to local board of conciliation.
II this is not satisfactory we will go still fur
tber and offer to allow a committee to be
bosen, to be made up OF an equal number Of
sboe manufacturers and labor men to settle
upon price list Next, let commission
be APPOINTED to meet and after a thorough in
gestlgatiop make out new price list. In
case either one of these offers is accepted we
wlll order the men back to work pending the
report Of the arbitrators. If the manufac-
turers want to settle the strike, here is an op-
portunity for them to do so"
Ii Is feared that the manufacturers will pay
no attention to this proposition, as they have
already refused to deal with the committee
from Boso on or the state board of arbitration.
