the committee on military affairs. These alleged years of quiet and seclu' sion were season of reflection, study, ready for the trying times of 1775-17ss, through which he passed with such honor as to win imperishable renown.
 A story has been published several times within very recent years, to the effect that Washington, immediately after his retirement from the office oi president, sent friend to demand an apology from Jefferson for alleged defamation of character, under threat of a challenge to fight a duel This ac- count, which adds that Jefferson, in craven spirit, made abject submission, Is as direct a libel upon the heroic author of the Declaration of Independ- ence as 1t Is islander upon the char acter of Washington. The latter was undoubtedly opposed to dueling Throughout his life. His views upon this subject were clearly set forth in a letter to La Fayette, evoked by a re- quest from the latter for permission to "can out" soma official who had offend ed him. The courage of Washington was so invincible and so universally ad- mitted that, even in his young man. hood, he dared to apologize to neigh. sbor who had knocked him down, rath- Ser than to do himself and his assailant the gross wrong of engaging in dead ly combat.

Growth of the Hair.

The influence of diet on the growth of hair has often been discussed. It has been shown that starehy mixtures, milk and many other foods recognized as be
 ing highly nutritious are, ill fact, sure death to hair growth. Chemical analy- sis proves that the hair is composed of per cent of sulphur, and its ash of 20 per cent of silicon and 10 per cent of iron and manganese. Tho foods which contain the larger per cent of the above named elements arc meat, oatmeal and graham Henry pointedly says, sNa- tions which eat most meat have the most hair.

GEORGE WASHINGTON.
BY WILLIAM RossER coBBE.

The father of his country took the greatest possible interest throughout his life in all matters relating to inter- nal Improvements, and busied himself in furthering measures designed for the public good. There is now in ex- istence in Norfolk, Va, or was 8 short time ago, an organization known as the Dismal Swamp company, of which George Washington was the first presi- dent, and its existence has been contin- nous since his time. This company has for It's object the drainage of the vast and fertile swamp lands of eastern North Carolina and Virginia, and the present Dismal Swamp canal was the outcome of that movement. Washing ton, h the enumeration of his assets, A paper attached to his last will, mentions large amount of stock held by him in the Dismal Swamp company, which had purchased very large tract of the swamp land, all of which has not yet passed out of its hands He more than once visited the proper. ty, which was then almost inaccessible, and which lies in near proximity to Picturesque Lake Drummond, made immortal by Thomas Moore.
 The fifteen years following his mar. riage are usually termed years of seclu. sion by the historian; yet Washington took most active part in political affairs in these years, was a member of the house of burgesses, and probably more than any other man contributed 10 the universal sentiment of hostility fo the stamp act. Like Jefferson, he was not gifted in oratory, but he was regarded as a man of the most profound knowledge upon affairs of state, and his eounsels were received with the highest favor by his associates. The last nine years of the fifteen referred to-, that is, from 1765 to 1774, were maAaed by almost constant agitation, ending in his election to congress, where he at once became chairman of

The Cost of Powder Puffs.

An English journal warns the London ladies that their powder puffs, those airy necessities of the toilet, are heavy with the blood of slaughtered innocents.
 It is stated that as many as 20, 900 young swans-oygnets. as they arc called-are killed every year to supply this dainty fluff, to say nothing of in numerable young birds of the cider duck and wild goose variety. The bulk of these are imported, the swan and geese from the islands of the Baltic and from Norway and Sweden, and the elders from the northern and more ice bound seas.
 One cygnet will make nearly dozen average sized "puffs. which show how many women must be, to greater or less extent, addicted to the use of powder.
 The puff trade is highly profitable, a may be judged from the fact that the down of cygnet costs little more than 25 cents. the poor creature often being plucked alive so that it may bear an- other crop, while the puffs arc sold at from 75 cents upward, nicely mounted in bone and blue or pink satin, which ad- juncts amount to comparatively nothing.
 The ladies of Paris and Vienna are the largest consumers of puffs, owing chiefly to their fastidiousness i'll casting aside puffs as soon as they lose their pristine delicacy.

It's First Customers Were Brokers Who
 Caused 1t to Become Popular.
 Tho first hanson cab in America had an interesting history A reminiscent voluble, red faced cabby told it lato tho other night up by tho Thirty third street stand. It was brought over ill 1870 or 1871 by John Patent of the Pacific hotel, in Greenwi h street. just above Cort- landt, and it cost gro Its driver was old John Carter of Liverpool, since do. ceased, who came to New York in 18Gl The original cab that John Carter drove was handsome one, made very much like those now in use, but it had claret body and red running gear. An interest ing feature of it was that 1t was bol- stered with pair of patent axles, which were so complicated that Carter was tho only man who could grease them
 For some reason the cab was not put into running immediately after it was imported, bnt was laid up in the stable for E years. Then John Carter ran it from the Pacific hotel, but there was not business enough there, and he went down to the corner of Broad street and Exchange place, where trade flourished, and he used to get fares from tho big brokers. Morosini was said to have been 8 good customer of his, and Jay Gould, if reports are accurate, rode in it once or twice. It was familiar feature about the Stock Exchange for four years, and then it broko down, ending the ca reer of tho first hanson cab in America. New York World.

 You've heard of tho Bangor girls? They are proverbial Mctaphorically speaking, every daughter of Eve in the Queen City wears bloom of health, a pair of large. speaking orbs and two lovely peachblown cheeks. Whether this is due to the ozonic influence of the atmosphere or the unusual richness of the soil, certain it is that Venuses and Dianas and Hebes come marching up the street some days in solid phalanx. There are girls upon girls, and they are all handsome. -Biddeford Journal.
