Herbert AT Washington.

In 8 letter from III. 3. Herbert to H.
s. Wattles, under date,of February %,
,9s. he says: "On last Tuesday night,
February ed, by invitation, / visited
Washington Lodge, A. F. and A. NJ,
at Alexandria, the old lodge to which
Washington belonged, and of which
he was once Master. The same chair
ne used is now used by the Master.
The clock that was in the room in
which he died, and which was stopped
at the moment of his death, the hands
pointingto the hour of ten and twenty
minutes, is there; thesapron, made by
the Nuns of Fairs, and which he wore
at the laying of the corner stone of the
Capitol, and also the trowel used upon
that occasion are also there. There are
many other articles there which belong
ed to the great Father and which the
Tyler, who was made Mason on that
floor in lS46, delights to exhibit and
explain. There was also banquet,
and THUS did l get a taste of Old Vir--
ginia hospitality. To say that was
highly entertained seems to ME but to
half express it, and it will be a long
Tune ere | forget those warm hearted
Virginian brethren. The weather to-
day has been about as near perfection
as one could well ask. l noticed some
lilac buds about ready to burst open
and another little shrub covered with
pretty yellow flowers. I am in love
with this mild atmosphere, and these
sunny Skies"

Alaska,

The area of the United States be-
fore the purchase of Alaska was
:, $50, 666 square miles. Alaska con
tains $4,000 square miles of main
land, 1000 square miles of the Aleu-
tan islands and $4,000 square miles
OF other islands, total of $40, OOO
square miles, OF one fifth of the area
OF the rest OF the United States. 1t
requires the areas of California.
Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Mon
tana and New York to equal this.
The area of New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Vir-
ginia and West Virginia equals only
one-half of Alaska. 1t equals the
combined area of Great Britain and

A MATRIMONIAL sNAG.
One That Very Often Brings Trouble to
Husband and Wife.

One That Very Often Brings Trouble to
Husband and Wife.
call it matrimonial snag be-
cause the matrimonial bark is al
ways going to pieces on it. 1t does
mischief to other things, interferes
with the smooth current of innu-
merable friendships and mars many
a close intimacy. But it is to the
bark in which a man and his wife
have been launched together that it
does the greatest harm.
Now this snag in itself is not
formidable affair. 1t is made up
simply Of two diverse opinions
about resting, yet no jagged reef is
more dangerous, and all those who
cannot sail over it must inevitably
be wrecked on it.
A man, for instance, has worked
all day out of doors-in the fields
maybe. He has had the air and the
sun and converse with men of his
kind. Resting to him means COM
ing home, stretching out his limbs
and breathing in domestic peace.
The woman, however, has been in
all day, without the air and without
the sun-dusting, sweeping, cook
ing, sewing, disoiplining children,
seeing mo- one, talking to no one,
meeting no one with whom an idea
could be interchanged OF from whom
a new direction for her thoughts
could be gained. When night comes,
her greatest rest would seem to lie
in change of scene, the bringing
in Of outside interests or Il more
sympathetic and enlivening inter
course with her husband
He, however, cannot understand
this. "Yon are restless" he says
to her, "discontented. But you can
not find anything better than this,
wherever you go. Take my word
for it. have seen them ALL" And
he'folds his hands aud puffs at his
pipe and basks in the quiet content
ment of soul that has been salts
fed.
1t is the same thing when a man
goes down town all day and leaves
the woman at home. His idea of
resting is a cheerful freside at
night, wife as bright, as gay and
responsive as when she received in
her mothers house and all care was
spared her. m so tired would
like to go to sleep with the children
at 6 o'clock'' many a wife signs.
"But it is just the time my husband
likes me to be at my best. 1t both.
ers him to have me tired, and he
has such different ideas of resting
from mine. y
| Duties, on the other hand, may
have called the woman out of doors
all day, and duties may have kept
the man in an office. Then it may
rest him to go out at night. He
may crave amusement and diver
sion, some entertainment for the
mind. These distract his thoughts
and rest his brain and make him
fresher for the morrow's work.
But the thousand demands. Of the
day, the obligations and require,
ments of some position she must
fill, have used the woman up The
thought of new excitements and di.
versions only wearies her. The eff.
forts she makes to respond to her
husbands wishes seem spiritless,
and no pleasure is given OF felt He
cannot understand why it allis She
cannot understand why he does not
see. He grows disconnected, she
dissatisfied. The need of another
kind of sympathy is suggested. In.
terests begin to dlverge, and two
paths are made, growing every day
wider apart. -Harper's Bazaar.
