he found that Mr.. Ingersoll had died

Steadily the United States is taking
ground for her manufactured articles
throughout all foreign countries, and
especially is this SO in Germany with
respect to machinery. England has
heretofore led in this line in that
country, but the record of the past
year uncovers the fact that material
decrease has taken place in the sales
CT the Britisbers, while the business
of the Americans has increased fully
seyenty-fve per cent. over that of last
year. In 1895 the imports from the
United States into Germany did not
amount to one-sixth of those of Great
Britain, now they are equal to sixty
per cent. Of the same. 1t is crafty

to price alone, as the quality of the

at Alexandria that Washington met
General Braddock, and with him start
ed out on that disastrous campaign.
His last review of troops were made
from the steps of an Alexandria hotel
about year before his death.
From the traditions of Alexandria,
and from many other sources, Frank
Ct. Carpenter has tried to make up in
his minds eye a picture of George
Washington as he really was. He was
exceedingly tall, and when young quite
slender. He had enormous hands and
feet. His boots were No. 13, and his
ordinary walking shoes No. ~. No
one can look at the silk stockings
which hang up in Mount Vernon and
not realize that it took a big leg to fill
them. He was man of muscle.
During his service in the army he
weighed 200 0pounds, and was so strong
that he could lift his tent with one
hand, although it usually required the
strength of two men to place it on the
camp wagon, writes Mr.. Carpenter. /

shot and good swordsman. The pic

The boy had been taking piano les

er went to the musical college, hunt
ed up his teacher and complained
that though her son had received
three lessons, he could not play o
single tune. The instructor politely
explained that it was necessary to
first teach scales, then exercises, and
after these were mastered, his moth
er's wish could be gratifed. The
fond parent was not satisfied, but che
concluded to try it little longer. At
the end of another week she was back
again and loud in her denunciation of
the teacher and his methods, because,
so far as she could see, her son had
made no advancement.

Energetic preparations are being
made at Chatham Dockyard for laying
down a new battleship of the first.
class in No. 7 slip. The first keel
plate will be placed in position within
week. A rather extraordinary name
has been selected for her. She is to
be christened the Venerable. The
new vessel will have q displacement
of $4,000 tons. Such q name opens
up many ecclesiastical possibilities in
the nomenclature of the navy. A
bigger vessel may be christened the
Bishop, and the largest ever con-
structed might fairly claim to be
called nothing less than the Arch
bishop, while humble cruiser would
be merely the Reverend. tits abso-

careful of his expenses, and would not
tolerate extravaganza. An instance of
this kind occurred one day when he
found the first shad of the season on
his table. The President was very
fond of fish, and when the shad was

them, and he asked:

And SO the SO fish was taken from
