THE QUEEN AS AN mol.
british Protection Held to BE Dlvl

british Protection Held to DO Divine
Power In Thibet.
In addition to being Queen Of Eng
land and Empress of India, 1t appears
that Her majesty is a goddess An
Englishman named Stuart Majori-
banks has recently returned from Ave
years sojourn in Thibet and Bengal,
and ne is the authority for the follow
Ing remarkable story. When he was
Journeying in Thibet in 1898, Mr.. Mai
oribanks says that he heard through
the natives Of white goddess worship
ped by sect whose place of habita-
tion was in the most mountainous Sec
ton OF that rugged country, With two
guides and a native servant, Mr. Mai
oribanks started for the mountains
that had been described to him, and.
on reaching them, found that he was
the nrst white man known to have
made his way to this spot. The treat
ment accorded him by the members
OF the sect for whom he had been
searching was amazing He had been
told that he was going to certain
death, and that no mans hand could
save him. To his surprise he was treat
ed as a most welcome visitor. He was
received with profound salaams, and
with his escort was assigned quarters
In hut for the night. In response
to ais request for information he was
courteously told that all he wished
would be made clear to him in the
morning. The villagers kept their
word to the letter. After the morning
meal the visitor was escorted to the
house Of the principal official of the
town, who is termed the Khan. Two
priests appeared by order of the Khan.
and conducted Mr.. Majoribanks to a
building located on the crown of high
hill. Entering, the traveller found him
self in dimly lighted apartment furn-
ished with all the evidences Of a bar
barrie religion. But the most amazing
thing of all was that, seated in a del
icately carved chair was the figure of
woman, wearing golden crown. ap-
parently attired in European costume,
and looking not unlike specimen from
Nine. Tussaud's Closer inspection.
necessarily of a very respectful nature.
disclosed the fact that the figure was
intended to be a representation of
Queen Victoria. Careful scrutiny
showed that the imitation, so far as the
clothing was concerned, was very crude
indeed, but the likeness of the face
to the original was startling in its,
faithfulness. After leaving the temple,
Mr.. Majoribanks had another inter
view with the Khan, and from him
learned how the Queen of England
came to be the goddess of a heather
tribe. It seems that few years ago
the tribe was sorely beset by enemies,
and deputation was sent from the viii
lage to Calcutta to appeal to the Eng
fish government to interfere and cause
the Indian marauders to remain at
home. The mission was entirely sue
cessful. When the Thibetans returned
from Calcutta, one of the men had Sc
cured a photograph of Queen Victoria,
and apparently out of gratitude as
good an imitation as it was possible for
them to construct of the Great White
Queen was fashioned, placed in the
temple, and worshipped as the chief Of 4
all the tribes gods.

the visit of Lafayette to Fredericks-
burg to meet Mrs. Washington, his
friends mother, he too, dined in this
room, and it is said the gallant French
man expressed himself as being more
than charmed, with not only his fair
hostess but her handsome home.
Where Mary Washington Died.
On the upper floor of the house are
the bedrooms, which are unusually
large and bright, but the chief interest
pertains to the one on the left hand OF
the corridor. Here we are told is the
room in which Mary Washington
breathed her last. This fact is not gen
orally known, as 1t is usually supposed
that she died in her own more humble
home not far away. When she had
been i'll for some time with an incur
able malady, Mrs. Lewis persuaded her
to be moved to Kenmore, and it was
here that she spent the last few weeks
of her life. Not far from the house
and within sight of the windows of this
room arises the tall granite shaft
which was erected to the memory of
Mary Washington by the women Of
America. This is the only public
monument to a woman in the United
States. 1t is handsome shaft fifty
feet high, on the face of which is in
acTibed IN raised letters, Mary, the

service to his country. When he be-
came too feeble to go on horseback,
he had himself carried in his chariot
to the neighboring Court House, where
he uttered patriotic words which, by
reason of his prominence and popu-
larity, had much effect on the young
men of the surrounding country, and
many were inspired by him to become
soldiers. Portraits are still preserved
Of himself and his wife,
1t seems somewhat strange that
while more, probably, has been pub
ished of George Washingtons mother
and wife than of any other American
woman, so little should have been writ
ten of his only sister. Mrs. Lewis bore
4 likeness to her brother so great that
1t was startling, and when, as was
sometimes done in joke, military hat
was placed upon her head and a cape
thrown over her shoulders, it was al
most impossible to distinguish between
them. George Washington Parke Gus
tbs, in his Memoirs of Washington, E"
says that on these occasions so strong
was the resemblance that "Battalions
would have presented arms and senates
risen to do homage to the chief" In
character and disposition, also, there
was the same remarkable likeness be-
tween the brother and sister.
Gen. Washington Gave the Bride Away.
One of Mrs. Lewis sons, Lawrence,
married Washington's adopted child,
Eleanor Parke Custis, or beautiful
Nelly Custis" as she is known in his
tory, the granddaughter of Martha
Washington by her first husband. The
wedding took place on February %,
1893, the last birthday General Wash
ington was destined to spend on earth,
and he himself gave the bride away.
Kenmore has passed through the hands
Of several owners during the last half
century, and was at one time con-
verified into boys school, During the
civil war, when the town was lombard
ed by the Federal troops, the house
was struck in several places by shells,
some of which yet remain firmly i'm
bedded in the walls, The present own
9r of Kenmore, a good old rebel, .
often points these out to his Northern
visitors and laughingly tells them to
notice the impression they made on
the place the last time they were here. y
The house is now owned by William
Key Howard, a well-known Mary
lander, who purchased it some ten or
twelve years ago, He has had the
spacious grounds put in beautiful Or
der and the homestead itself carefully
repaired both inside and out, so that
it is now once more restored to its
former beauty and stands to-day as
proudly as ever, stately reminder of
revolutionary times and of the days
of Washington.

There is one day that Is full of sug-
gestlons--a day so linked with the his
tory Of our country that patriotic senti-
ments come to our hearts at its mere
mention. Washington's Birthday ought
to have special programme of Its
own. 1t would be an excellent idea to
make 1t history day. a stars-and-
stripes day, to hold meetings and fes-
rivals in commemoration of the great
and glorious struggle that gave us our
liberty.
Every public school in the land ought
to mark the event by suitable exercises.
AS the schools close for this day, why
not make the afternoon previous gala
season, when the events of Washing
toms career may be reviewed, patriotic
addresses listened to, suitable music
rendered, and entertainments such as
charades or plays appropriate to the
time be given by the pupils? Make it a
day to be looked forward to- day Of
delight; day on which the young and
unfolding mind may grasp the idea that
such patriotism as the Father of his
Country possessed is sufficient to make
name immortal.
Teach them that love Of country is
one Of the greatest of virtues, and that
only by loyalty and fidelity to the flag
and the great principles it represents
can the men and women of the future
hope to maintain that high position
which the United States holds among
the nations of the earth.
And for the young people themselves
who are out Of school and just begin
ming the serious affairs Of life, let
there be old folks concerns and enter
tainments, Continental parties,
masquerades in the old time costumes
of the days of Washington. Let there
be sham battles, with snow forts, if so
be 1t that snow is plentiful. And it
would not hurt the elders to take a
hand in this fray. 1t would warm up
the blood, stir up the ideas, rouse the
patriotism and break the monotony
that too often settles over middle
aged existence. There should be songs
and Hastings, and dancing and rejoicing
all along the line, and the assembled
guests should thank heaven that such
man as George Washington ever
lived, a man whom nothing could dis
courage, a man who, through trials,
disappointments, vicissitudes, treach-
cry, ingratitude and persecution, kept
ever alive in his heart one hope, one
idea, one determination, and that was
to secure to the citizens of this coun-
try and their posterity forever the
blessings of civil and religious liberty.
And when the days festivities are over,
the most appropriate ending will be
that all join in the doxology;
praise God from whom all blessing
flow"

Mother of Washington" On the re-
verse side Is cut in the stone, Erected
by her Countrywomen." An amusing
incident happened Ia connection with
the latter inscription. Among the
crowds of people who attended the
unwilling Of the monument were many
whose lives were passed on farms In re-
mote parts Of the country. One Of
them, an old woman, after giving a
long, appreciative look to the monu-
ment, and carefully spelling over the
inscription, fairly beamed with delight.

Lavish Hospitality at Kenmore.
Kenmore was always the scene Of
swish hospitality, and within It's walls
were entertained many Of the men who
assisted in making our country's his
tory. In the spacious drawing-room,
in days gone by stately danes have
courtsled low to their partners in the
time-honored minuet, and coquettish
damsels, in dainty short-waisted
gowns, triDped gayly through the Vir-
ginia reel. These were the women who
later became the wives and mothers
of the heroes of the revolution. Most
of the men of note of the time just
previous to the revolution, were re-
ceived as guests at Kenmore, and dur
ing the war. which ensued the house
became known far and near as the
abode of patriotism. Colonel Lewis,
who was a man of prominence, and
proprietor of nearly half the town OF
fredericksburg, was an ardent patriot,
and though i'll with consumption (of
which he finally died before the close
of the war;, managed to render much
