The history of the disease proves
that ''the grippe" or '1a grippe" or
plain "grip" by any other name
would be as unwelcome. Whether it
is contagious or infectious, rides on
the sightless couriers of the air or
passes from victim to victim by per-
sonal contract, it deserves the male
dictions of all. Whether it comes as
an old-fashioned influenza, accom-
panied by infamed eyes and other
signs, or signifies its presence by
shooting pains in the back and aching
limbs, it is not to be sneezed off.
While doctors may differ as to
whether it is a germ disease or follows
from atmospheric conditions all agree
that it is best avoided by general at
tention to hygienic rules. Eat ra-
tionally, dress warmly, live cheerfully
and avoid the foul fend, which we are
convinced was poor Toms name for
worry. If grip, grippe or Ia grippe
catches you in his clutches, yield at
once, put yourself between warm
blankets and rest and sweat him out.
Avoid both depressing medicines and
stimulating drinks. Be as cheerful as
you can under circumstances that
would have made Mark TaDley mad.

brated, in 1888, there was q great deal
of criticism on the part of his enemies,
and the Aurora, one of the opposition
newspapers of Philadelphia, pub
lished long poems describing him as
the worst of men. The House OF
Representatives was asked to adjourn
for half an hour on February %,
1896, to pay its respects to President
Washington on the occasion of his
birthday. This practice had been in
vogue since Washington was first in
augurated. The House, however, re-
fused to adjourn, on the ground that
it was the duty Of Congress to attend
to legislative business and not tc pay
foolish compliments.
When Washington delivered his
farewell address he was raviled by
the opposite party.
Notwithstanding all this, the charac-
ter of Washington shines brighter to-
day than ever before. With his little
weaknesses, which historians have
done their best to hide, he is, taking
him altogether, perhaps the greatest
American our country has ever pro-
duced, and the false charges against
him were but drops of moisture on
the mirror of his fame, which time has
long since washed away.

A report to the State Department al
Washington by Consul General Convey
from Yokohama, Japan, shows the pro.
gress made in railroad construction in
the Japanese Empire up to the middle
of the present year. The whole mum.
ber of lines authorized is sixty, with
an aggregate mileage of 1921 miles.
The lines vary in length from three 10
s53 miles-the longest being the Great
Japan Railway, of which all but thirty
two miles had been completed in July
last. Nothing more forcibly marks
the contrast between the progressive
Japanese nation and their stolid and
apathetic neighbors, the Chinese, than
the enterprise shown by the former in
works of internal improvement as
against the determined resistance on
the part of the latter to every species
of developm emit.

in the safe of the old courthouse at
Fairfax, Va, gives a detailed state
ment of every article he possessed
down to the calves and sheep. His
personal estate was then put down at
$532, 900, and this Included vast
amount of tobacco, large numbers of
cattle, sheep and horses, nearly all of
which he willed to his wife.
The account books which are kept
at Washington in the State Depart
ment show that Washington was very
careful about keeping record of his
expenditures. He put down every
thing, and among other items you see
his losses at cards and at the horse
races are frequent The curious
thing abcut his accounts is that
there vas almost always deficiency
at the end of the year which he could
not account for. This made no diff
ference, however, with his starting
the new year with fresh account, for
one item at this time is as follows:
by cash, either lost, stolen OF neg
lected to charge, 144 pounds, 8 shil-
lings and IL pence. In other words,
he was short that year over 800.
Through his letters now owned by
the Government you see here and
there correspondence which shows
that he was very hard up at times.
In 1885 he wrote that he could get no
wheat on credit, and that he had no
cash to pay for it. Three years later
he urges man to pay the $1,000 which
he owes him, and says he has put off
the sheriff three times already, and
that he needs this money to pay his
taxes. He was not afraid to dun his
debtors, and he is said to have been
one of the shrewdest dealers among
the planters of his time.
From the above it will be seen that
Washington had by no means an easy
life. He had many troubles outside
of those connected with his estate.
He had as many enemies as our lead
ing politicians have to-day and he was
accused of all kinds of crimes and |
misdemeanors. The Philadelphia
Aurora charged him with having COM
mitted murder during his campaign
with Braddock. Griswold, in his Re-
publican court, states that an attempt |
was made to poison Washington when
he was President.

inches in diameter. The sides of the
kettle are black. Martha Washington
gave the oven to Mrs. Mary Den
ming, in 177S, in exchange for some
knitting.
Mrs. Denning kept it until her
death, in 1927, when it came into the
possession of her daughter, Mrs.
Elizabeth Renshaw. During the war
of 1872 Mrs. Denning, who was living
in Brandywine Manor, Penn, buried
the oven in her yard, with $500 in it.
In 1S4O Mrs. Renshaw exchanged the
oven for some coal oil and tobacco to
E. W. Wright,a storekeeper of Coates
vile, Penn. Mrs. Wright kept it un-
til her death, in 1878, when it was
stored away with some other furniture
and forgotten. G. L. Brainard, a
grandson of the storekeeper, visited
the old homestead and found the
oven,
