SIZE Remembered.
when George Washington Turned
Down the Gas.


Apropos OF Washington. whose birth
day has just been celebrated, a quaint
story is told concerning an old nanny
who was discovered in his native town
Of Fredicksburg and who could not
have been born when the general died.
Mrs. Pickett, the widow of Gen. Pickett,
Of southern fame, told il with a hearty
appreciation of its merits: .'She was an
old woman in a linsey-woolsey petit
coat and bright turban, and we found
her IN one of our jaunts around the city
and took a kodak picture of her One
of the company asked her in fun if she
remembered Washington-you see, she
was very old. Deed and 'deedy ] do.
MISS she answered, glibly. Perhaps
you were one of his nurses, mammy?'
Dat am jess so, Missy nussed him
when he was leetle mite er baby oh,
then, you must have known about the
cherry tree?' But she did not. and it
was explained TO her and she listened
with much interest. Use don know

STATES THAT PRODUCE STONE.
Vermont Leads in Marble and Maine
In Granite.

Some facts of an instructive nature re-
lating TO the stone industry are fur
nished by Mr.. Day in the annual report
of tine United States geographical sur
yey. 1t appears from this that certain
of the southern states are gradually
coming into prominence as extensive
producers of stone, and also that the
sorts of stone quarried have been mod
flied of late years. An instance in point
is to be found in Alabama, which in
1895 furnished more than S250,000,000
worth of stone, mostly limestone, al
though some sandstone is worked there.
A similar illustration is presented by
Connecticut, which once divided the
sandstone yield with New Jersey, but
produced last year little more sandstone
than Massachusetts, while New Jersey
showed only one-third as much as Com
necticut, and little more than Kansas
or Michigan; and Pennsylvania, I'm
known few years ago as supplying
sandstone, recorded a product in 1895
equal to Connecticut and New
Jersey combined, and more than
any other state than Ohio. In
granite production Massachusetts, keeps
the first place, with Maine not far off,
while Vermont is rapidly overtaking
Maine, and Rhode Island keeps up the
output from its splendid quarries in and
about Westerly nearly 81 o0o,ooOworth
year. New hampshire comes fifth on
the list, with about half as much. In
marble, Vermont, as usual, leads all the
other states, its output being about
double that of Georgia, which is second
In amount; Tennessee is third.

tens, often going considerable dis
tances with them to get them to a safe
place.
More than one boy has climbed
tree thinking that he could knock off
the squirrel when he had cornered
him at the top where there was no es-
cape. But the squirrel sl1ips from limb
to limb and chatters wildly, and when
he has reached the very top and sees
the boy coming he will jump for his
life from a tree 30 or 40 feet high to
the ground landing dead or crippled?
Oh, no, he spreads out his legs
and tai, and with jump slides
through the air like a thrown shingl1
and alights safely. TO seamper ioyfully
away. And the boy comes down with
his labor for his pains.
There is perpetual battle between
the squirrels and the birds. Nothing
suits a red squirrel better than plump
young robin or sparrow or bluebird for
breakfast, and he will resort to almost
any trick to get the mother bird off its
nest long enough for him to commit
the theft.
The hapless andfeatherless bird strug-
cies family for few moments, but
its captor soon puts it beyond suffering,
and then eats it with as much relish as
a schoolgirl shows for pickle or an
olive. These little lunches, however,
often are rudely broken in upon by the
wrathful parents of the unhappy bird
lings, and then follows a scene which
is worth seeing. The squirrel has need
of all his agility to dodge the blows
aimed at him from all directions by the
outraged birds. Not infrequently sew
eral pairs of birds, and even several spe-
cies, unite in the attack on the common
enemy, but after many narrow escapes
--tail-breadth escapes, perhaps-and
perilous leaps and cunning subterfuges,
the assassin usually reaches some hol-
low tree or other safe refuge where he
may dress his ruffled coat and reflect ON
the uncertainties of life.-Chicago Rec

The Red Squirrel Is Almost a. aiis-
chtevous a a Boy.
4 red squirrel is almost as .nischiev-
Gus and cunning as boy. \ few days
ago a lady who lives in little Michigan
town hung up pair Of short sash cur
tains to dry after washing. When she
came back to get them the line was emp
ty; the curtains had disappeared. At
first she thought some mischievous boy
was playing a joke on her. Then quite
suddenly she saw something white
glimmering among the sweeping
branches Of an old spruce tree. She eX-
amined il more closely. 1t was one of
her sash curtains. and il seemed to be
jigging about as if it had life. As she
ran to the rescue funny little red head
popped up from the folds OF the curtain
and jetty eye sparkled mischievously.
When the squirrel found that he had
been caught in his thievery he dropped
the curtain, scampered up the tree and
ran out on limb. Then he scolded and
chartered in the most excited manner,
as if he was trying to explain his ac-
tions. At the same time he seemed
greatly disappointed in not having cap
tured the prize.
After the Lady had recovered one of
her curtains she began a search for the
other. At last she was rewarded by
seeing it lodged high up in crotch of a
tree, where Mrs. Squirrel was busily ar
ranging it for her summer home

and contains dissolved or suspended in

and growth of the cell The idea that
in winter the sap goes down into the
roots and in the spring rises again is
quite erroneous, says a reliable au-

Modern LaundrieS Damage the Street
Vendors business.
Modern methods in at least one line
of business have struck a blithering
swipe at the sidewalk merchant who pa
tiently stands for hours on a downtown
corner trying to sell collar and shirt
buttons. Nobody ever thinks of buying
any buttons from the luckless man, be-
cause everyone who patronizes a laun-
dry gets buttons for nothing, and in
the course of few months lays them
up by the gross, says the Chicago Chron-
icle.
Some time ago when a shirt came from
the laundry it had beside the grease
from the ironing machine and the ink
from the markers table, two pins thrust
desperately through the stretched linen
holding the bosom and back of the gar
ment in place. There are no more pins
sent home with shirts. Some bright
laundryman started a new era bv fur
nishing small metal buttons. which are
slipped into all the button holes Of the
shirt, causing it to hold its shape per
fectly. The other laundrymen were not
slow to follow, and now half the men
en- the street wear these little charity
buttons for shirt studs. They are made
OF lead or some similar soft metal and
evidently do not cost much, for shirts
are done up cheaper and done up more.

Wild horses are getting to be quite
numerous again on the fats in the
Texas Panhandle and in Beaver county.
They are very troublesome, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer, as they lead away
the horses belonging to the COW men
and grangers, and when a domesti-
Gated horse once gets with wild bunch
it is an all days job and sometimes it
takes several days to catch him. The
LATEST old crowbait alive, or the gen
tlest family horse, after associating for
a few days with these mustangs, seems
to forget his raising; all the old-time
wildness of his forefathers seems to
crop out in him, and, although formerly
he may have allowed himself TO be
caught anywhere, he viii not then per-
nit man to get within a half mile OF
him. About the only way to receiver a
horse Of this kind is to run the entire
bunch down and corral them, or to rope
the ones wanted. Nearly all our stock
men have lost horses in this manner.
and the mustang, instead Of being
looked upon with respect and with COW
ctous eyes. as in the past, is now con
sidered an intruder and pest. and is
shot down whenever opportunity Of

Pennsylvania Fox-HuNTlNG.
England's Packs and Hunts Have

Eogland's Packs and Hunts Have
American Tmitators.
While there is a general impression
that Americans do not 60 in for fox
hunting as do the Englishmen, it is by
all odds the most popular winter sport
in Pennsylvania, says the New York
Times. There are in the southeastern
counties as fine packs Of hounds as can
uc shown in England, though fewer in.
number, and some horses that hold
their own against the best of English
importations over as stiff a country
as that hunted by the famous QuoI n
pack, of which the earl of Lonsdale is
master. At a recent run $50 couples Of
hounds were out and about 200 riders
just now there is CONSERVATION among
owners OF the Pennsylvania hounds be
cause of an outbreak of rabies in the
Stanford Hunt kennels, which has ne
cessitated the killing of the entire pack
of IS, many of them dogs imported
from noted English packs. 4 rabid cur
bit one of the hounds few weeks ago,
and this dog, after a recent run, at
tackled other occupants of the kennels.
SO all We're killed as matter of safety.
There is fear that other hounds in 9TH
er packs have been bitten, and that an
outbreak of hydrophobia throughout
the hunting district may follow. All
possible precautions to prevent this dis
aster have been taken, and hounds
which have been exposed are to be $50

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.
A Decrease in the Number Of FntaIi-
ties Last Year.

Decrease in the Number OF Fntali-
ties Last Year.
The record of railway accidents print
ed every year in the Railroad Gazette
shows a decrease Of fatalities in 1896,
ard also demonstrates again how safe
a traveller really is on modern rail
way train. For instance, 126 passengers
were killed last year, but the train mile
age was S34,200,0OO This means that
on the average a passenger can travel
over 100000 miles before being killed
in a railway accident; or. to put it in
another way, he can travel back and
forth between New York and San
Francisco as frequently as the train
viii carry him about 30 years before his
fatal accident is due.
1t appears from the same authority
that about one-quarter as many per-
sons were killed by street car accidents
last year as by disaster on the steam
roads. There are no data at hand for
comparing the two modes of travel,
but it seems probable that the steam
roads are considerably safer than the
trolley cars if the distance travelled be
taken into account. The figures do not
show how many of those set down as
killed by trolley car accidents were
passengers and how many innocent pc
destrians who failed to get out Of the
way in time. 1t hardly seems as if the
latter could be included. for the total
given for three years for the whole
country is only about equal to the list
of those known to have been killed
by the trolley cars in the city Of Brook
lyn in that time
