presence. Only one thing could sub b.
due her dauntless spirit, and that was
the fear of lightning. In her youth
friend had been killed by lightning in
her presence, and always after, at the
approach of a thunder storm, Mrs.
Washington would retire to her room,
where she would shrink and tremble
like the weakest of her sisters.
For several years after their mar.
riage she lived at Wakefield, her hus-
bands home on the Potomac, and there
in 1892 George Washington, her cid.
est son was born. A few years later
the family removed to a house in Stat
ford County, near fredericksburg,
where Augustine Washington died in
April, 1742. Besides her two stepsons.
the young widow was left with five
children of her own-Georee, Eliza
beth, Samuel, John Augustine, and
Charles. TO them she devoted her
life, and George Washington always
declared that his successful career was
the result of his mothers teachings. -

Mary Balls Tall Sons Were "Mute
as Mice" In Her Presence.
Augustine, the second son Of Law.
renee Washington, was the father of
George Washington. He is described
as a tall man, of noble bearing, with
fair complexion and fine gray eyes.
After remaining some time in Eng
land. he returned to Virginia, and by
lis had married Jane Butler, and
settled down as planter in Westmore-
land County. In lT2S his helpmate
died, leaving four children, OF whom
only two-Lawrence and Augustine
grew to maturity. Two years later,
true to the custom OF his family, the
widower married again. His second
bride was Mary Ball, of Lancaster
County, She was the daughter of
Colonel Joseph Ball, and was descend.
ed from respectable English colonists,
who had settled on the banks OF the
Potomac.
Mary Balls early life was quietly
passed at Epping Forest, her fathers
plantation where she was bred in the
domestic virtues which characterized
the matrons OF her day. She was little
versed in book lore, but was OF such
commanding character rs to inspire
respect and obedience IN all surround
ing her, even in those who loved her
most. We are told that her sons,

Remarkable Instinct Of Birds.

DR.. Williams, an English naturalist,
tells of two interesting cases Of birds
protiting by experience. One of his
neighbors, whose fruit suffered from
the raids of black birds and thrushes,
planned and executed n number of
raids on their nests in an adjoining
woods. After the birds had been dis
turbed few times they built their
nests on the ground instead of IN the
bushes and small fir trees, as had been
their custom. The other case was of
sandpipers that were nesting near DIR.
Williams house. These birds, after
their nests had twice been destroyed
by water, continued for three seasons
to build their nests on high ground,
Inaccessible to the water. Their usual
custom is to build their nest near the
water on the gravel and sand washed
up by the river.

An Ambassadors History.

Count Philip "a Gutenberg, German
ambassador to Vienna, who is impli-
Gated in the Berlin scandal, was the
hero of an unpleasant affair during
his student days. Prince Alfred of
England's cook, while at Bonn in 1861,
got into q row with number of uni
versity students. One of them, in
uniform, drew his sword and killed the
cook. The murder came near caus-
ing international complications, as
the cook was Frenchman, and III the
service of British prince but, as
the students father was Il Prusslan
minister, the affair was hushed mp, the
assassin escaping with few weeks I'M
prisonment. That man is the present
German ambassador to Vienna.

A Lucky Inventor.

A small rotary engine of novel de-
sign has been invented by Grant Bran
bel, of Sleepy Eye, Mimi, for patent
of which Fl. L. Allen of London,
president Of an engineering syndicate,
has offered him 10000 In the
ordinary type of cylinder engines the
steam enters at the end of the cylin-
der, is cut off and used as expansion
from the cut off to the end of the
stroke. The Brambel rotary engine
does away with the crank motion and
uses its own plunger for II cut-of. The
engine is steam tight and requires no
ring packing. 1t can be either simple
or compound. 1t weighs less and oc-
cupies only fraction of the space Of
the old style engine. The working
model weighed but twelve pounds and
seven ounces, yet was of twenty-three
actual horsepower.

public baths since the days OF ancient

Received the above sum OF Five Pounds
Twelve shilluGs Currency in full of all ar-
counts to this Goth day OF September, l772.
VIM. Carlin.
Now, who would look for George
Washington's handwriting on bill of
this kind? And yet it is there. The
bill itself and the signature are in the
handwriting of the worthy tailor, Car
lin, but the receipt, beginning at the
word Received" and ending at the
date "l772, " is in the handwriting of
George Washington.
A quainter document has seldom
been published. What an honest fell
low Carlin Is! He charges IS. I'D. to
"makeing yr green wastcoat," but he
takes care to explain that the odd 7 ID.
is only fair payment for the silk
used by him. Note, too, how careful
he is to write the words Errors ac-
cepted' at the end OF the bill. If his
bill is not entirely satisfactory-we
are all human and liable to err-he IS
quite willing to listen to any argu
ments with view to its reduction.
On the other hand il he should have
forgotten any item, he would naturally
have the right to charge for it in Il
later bill. His precaution, however,
did not avail him, as the receipt in
Washington's handwriting shows. In
it Mr.. Carln acknowledges that all
the money due him has been paid ;
aye, even though George Washington
still owes him half-penny. The bal
ance due to him is G5 lbs. d., and he
only receives g5 12s. Probably Wash.
ington had no coppers at hand, and
Carlin was wise enough to take what
he got and be thankful.
Washington kept all such bills as
these with great care, and no one was
more exact than he in seeing that they
were correct. He was a good arith-
rnetician, and his accounts we're al
ways in order. The "ciphering book, "
in which he wrote out the solution of
many difficult sums, is still preserved.
That much of his income was spent
on clothes can be readily seen. Though
never a dandy, be liked good attire
for himself and family, and no one was
more careful than he that his servants
should be comfortably clothed. Fash
ionable clothes, when needed. were
imported direct from London, and we
know from Westinghouse letters that
he obtained in this way several elegant
articles of attire for himself and his
wife. On state occasions he dressed
with great care, and we are even told
that at those times ''his horses hoofs
were blackened and polished as thor
oughly as his own boots" On the day
when he was inaugurated as President
he wore a full suit of dark brown cloth
with white silk stockings, all of which
were of American manufacture; on his
shoes were silver buckles; his hair
was tied and powdered, and steel
hilted dress sword hung by his side.
Whatever he wore, he always looked
the great man he was.

Aud so, you'd have me tell the tale
My father oft told me!
A story of the days when pale
Hope fed, and Misery
Stood stark and grim before that band
OF men beyond compare
The tale of Washington the Grand,
Who crossed the Delaware.
One Christmas night, long years ago,
When shrilly cold winds blew,
And through the darkened air the snow
On frozen piniOns flew.
A little band Of patriot souls
Stood brave and fearless where
In iciness and anger rolls
The fretful Delaware.
Nor ice. nor storm, nor cruel blast
Can hold these heroes back;
They have resolved; the die is east
For Freedoms cause, track
or blood upon the snow they've left
From shoeless feet and bure;
Ofall lite's comforts they're bereft
Beside the Delaware.
