universal mutiny. But for the love and
the regard they held for their command
er the Ill treated soldiers would have
plunged the country into the horrors of
civil strife. Indeed, some Pennsylvania
troops did mutiny, but Washington
steruly depressed the outbreak, showing
scant mercy to the ringleaders Thus
for the space of nearly two years, while
defnitive terms of peace were being ar
ranged. Washington was the mediator
between the army and congress At last,
however, on the 25th of November,
1888, the last redcoat left New York,
and, after taking possession of the city
from which be had been driven nearly
seven years before, Washington finally
said farewell to the army. On the 4th
of December he set out for Philadel-
phia, where he rendered his expense ac-
count for his seven years service, which
Che had drawn no pay amounted to the
sum of $4,000.
Then he continued on to Annapolis,
and ON the 23d of December resigned to
congress that commission which for so
long period he had held as a sacred
trust to be surrendered only on the ex-
pulsion of the invader from American
soil. He concluded a short speech OF no

DRIVING THE ENEMY INTO THE SEA.
One day about d-September, 1881,
the household at Mount Vernon was
startled by the unexpected arrival of its
master. Six years had passed since he
had crossed the threshold of his home

the continental armies, but even now,
after this long absence, he had no time
for an inspection of his favorite haunts.
He was accompanied only by an aid

his departure, two days later, Washing
ton took with him his wife's only SON
to his death, as il proved-for he died
of camp fever even while the cries of
victory were rising to the skies.
During the preceding year, since the
arrival of the French, Washington had
labored with one great object in view
TO draw upon every resource of every
state for men, money, equipment, and,
in conjunction with the allies. strike

kept watch over the household econo-
mics and allowed nothing to be wasted.
Returning from the wars, he had found
his estate embarrassed, and, despite his
vast holdings, himself on the verge of
bankruptcy. As he had accepted nothing
above his expenses during his long serv-
ice as commander in chief, his self abne-
cation in again returning to public life
(still unrewarded, except by the approx
al of his conscience and the people) is
apparent.
But for Washington the Union and
the constitution would never have been
acceptable to nor accepted by the peo-
pie. Through his unremitting CORE
spondence he had prepared them for the
constitution, and as president of the
convention the prestige of his name and
the power of his reasoning won over all
opponents.

liberation, he wrote Lafayette. at is

be the general opinion or the reception

say anything for or against it. If it be
good, l suppose it will work its way; if
bad, it will recoil upon its trainers. -
At the time of the adoption of the
constitution foreign powers refused all
negotiation with congress. Public credit
was gone, nor was any function of an
existing government performed. Called

From his diary we quote:

Mount Vernon, to private life and to do
mestic felicity, and, with a mind op-
pressed with more anxious and painful
sensations than have words to express,
set out for New York, with the best dis
position to render service to my country
in obedience to its call, but with less
hope of answering its expectations.
The long journey from Mount Vernon
to New York, which he made in his
private carriage, attended by two
friends and body servants. was one con-
tinued ovation. The battlefields en- route
where he had won victory or had met
defeat were transformed into scenes of
pleasure, where, as at Trenton, bright
young faces met his gaze, instead of
stern and powder blackened visages,
and sweet voices welcomed him in songs
of praise. The soldiers and the common
people, and particularly the rising gen.

Not little ink has been wasted upon
the question of size in turkeys, some
writers claiming that the Bronze is too
large to be quick seller in the market
that the public generally prefers small

rant trade. Public taste fuctuates, and
that which is popular today may be a
back number tomorrow, but one fact is
certain-the general popularity of tur-
key meat is steadily growing, and it is
safe to say that no poultry meat is finer
favored or more enjoyed by those fond
of good living.

en- to his country 80 of the best years Of
his life, acting in various capacities of
explorer, statesman and soldier, he was,
he thought, entitled TO spend the re-
mainder of his days in retirement. Still,
neither his own active nature and inter-
est in affairs nor the manifest will of
the people that he should again come to
the front would allow him rest. During
the next three years crowds of visitors
came to Mount Vernon, who consumed
his time, and hosts of correspondents
added to his labors.
In 1884 Lafayette, always most well
come visitor, for the last time during
the life of his former chief, came TO see
him, and later, when Washington had
been called to the presidency and La
fayette himself was a prisoner, his son,
George Washington Lafayette, found a
welcome and home here. Washington
still continued those noble charities that
endeared him to all his slaves and poor
er neighbors and kept open house for
ali. While a bountiful host, and even
lavish in his entertainments, he yet

The market prices which obtain in
the different cities offer but little in
ducement to the farmer to increase his
poultry business. Yet he must not be
misled by these prices and be one of a
number to add to the already poor quail
ity by bringing to market any and all
eggs he may gather. To the market man
an egg is an egg; hence price hardly
enters into the matter at all. To the
honest and conscientious farmer fresh
egg is the only kind he should have to
offer Let him once establish a reputa-
ton for having strictly fresh eggs, and
be will find he can about make his own
price irrespective of any general market.
A guaranteed quality should never be
sold for less than 20 cents in summer
and at least 30 cents in winter. Let any
who are in the business for eggs try this
system of properly caring for their hens,
so that when they gather an egg they
can vouch for its being laid that day
they will find no difficulty in getting
customers willing to pay the better
prices.
In London fresh eggs are never cheap.
Two shillings 600 cents) is about the
usual price per dozen, though mostly
sold by weight, and it does not vary
much the year round.

have imagined that a few short years

He was inaugurated at New York
the 30th of April, 1889, and before he
had hardly warmed the presidential
chair the Philistines were upon him.
They first criticised his receptions,
which were denounced as sping royalty.
and of which he said:

Under his auspices Washington saw
national government firmly establish
ed, menacing controversies with foreign
nations settled, the war debts funded,
credit restored, commerce and agricul-
ture fourishing, and the resources of the
country beginning to be exploited and
made available.
Elected a second time to the presi-
dency, he followed strictly the lines
which his speculative wisdom had sug-
gested during the first incumbency.
In the autumn of 1895 he published
his famous farewell address, that
most remarkable of state papers, and in
the following spring retired to private
life. On the Sd of March, 1897, the
president and Mrs Washington gave a
farewell dinner. at which much hilarity
prevailed at first, but on the removal of
the cloth, when Washington filed his
glass and said, with a smile, Ladies'
and gentlemen, this is the last time l

l do it with sincerity and wishing you
all possible happiness, there was an
instant cessation of mirth.
Retiring to Mount Vernon, as before,
Washington gave his personal attention
to the management Of his farms, follow
ing the serene existence he so much en-
Joyed. In July, 1899, he drew up hts
Will with minute directions for the
management of his estates, but it was
completed only four days before he died.

OF his life, and he regularly attended

The Bronze turkey is the largest and
handsomest turkey in existence. The
plumage is of a rich metallic bronze
that glistens in the sunlight like bur-

doubt view the matter in the same light
that the most difficult task Imaginable
would be that of constructing perfect ar
tiiicial bird-one that would, by its appear
ance, deceive any one but an expert orni-
biologist. AS difficult us such task must
have been, the magician HUudin, not only
manufactured one that was perfect as far
as looks were concerned, but which was
also fine singer. This wonder of me-
chanical ingenuity was made in the form

tated that birds song to perfection

wonderful automatic creation. After it
cordance with the sounds produced, tapped
its wings and leaped from branch to branch
on the shrub which formed its perch and
made all OF it's motion as true to life as
living bird of the same species would have
done.
This wonder was made in 1916, on the
order of a wealthy merchant of st. Peters
burg. Houdins fame was worldwide at
about that time on account of the promi-
nence no had attained by constructing an
artificial boy which could write, draw
maps, talk, etc. This last mentioned au-
tomaton was made in 1914. One day while
