some and happy current of life at
Mount Vernon moved gently on TIL
stirring public events diverted its
course.
Washington's manner of living and
his conduct of his private affairs
while president was naturally very
different from that of the plantation
days. However, everything he did
still evinced the simplicity and at the
same time the wonderful dignity and
poise of his character.
From his chief manager at Mount
Vernon he exacted full ana exact
weekly report. Once week he wrote
regularly to the manager, remarkng
on the report of the preceding week
and adding new directions. lie had
not been long in New York before
he found it necessary to establsh
rules for receiving visitors and en-
tertaining company. There was no
precedent to serve as guide, and
the matter was one of considerable
delicacy and difficulty. The vice pres
ident, Mr.. Jay, Mr.. Madison, Mr..
Hamilton and other gentlemen con-
curing, set of regulations were
adopted. Every Tuesday between the
hours of three and four he was pre-
pared to receive such persons as
chose to call: foreign ministers,
strangers and citizens came and went
without ceremony. Every Friday aft
ernoon the rooms were open in like
manner for visits to Mrs. Washing
ton, which were on a still more So
ciable footing, and at which Gen.
Washington was always present
He accepted no invitations to din
ner.
No visits were received on Sunday.
In the morning the president uni
formly attended church.

The Days of Dime Novels.

Col. Prentiss Ingraham, who wrote
more dime novels than any other one
person, is still living in New York
city. Present-day authors will gasp
when they learn that during the time
when he was writing, Col. Ingraham
turned out over 500 novels, averaging
10000 words each. This was in the
days when the typewriter was un-
known. Col. Ingraham confesses to
having written novel of $4,000 words
in five days time.

The hounds met three times a week

hours chase, in which most of the

and lost it; dined at Belvolr ana re-

Washington was the soul of hospi-
tality, and at few times, especially
in the hunting season, was the house
without guests. He liked life and
gayety and conversation, music and
dancing, and a game of cards in bad
weather, and he liked heartily the
presence of young persons and
friends.
At this time, too, Washington was
member of the house of burgesses.
He was diligent in church affairs and
very active in the vestry. In short,
he was a thoroughly public-spirited
citizen, taking part in all the serious
business of the colony as well as its
social life and pleasures.
Social Life of the President.
On court days he went to the
courthouse with other gentlemen to
listen to the arguments and hear the
news. On his visits to Williamsburg
his diaries tell us of round of din
ners, calls, theaters, and, on Sundays,
church. So the reasonable, whole

get out of their hands that ] have
scarcely a room to put friend into or
to sit in myself without the music of
hammers or the odoriferous scent of
paint"
Although Gen. Washington easily
dropped back into the round of country
duties and pleasures and the manage
ment of the plantation, which had al
ways, been a pleasure to him, there is a
touch of weariness and sadness in the
letters he writes. Writing again to Mr..
McHenry, he says: Il begin my
diurnal course with the sun; if my
hirelings are not in place l send them
messages of sorrow for their indisposi-
ton. Having put these wheels in

A Great Year in American Trade.

The last year of the last century
broke all records in the extent Of
Americas trade with the outside
world. The official figures show
that the country's exports for the
memorable year 1900 were in the
neighborhood of 81, ,470, 100000 and the
imports $S25, 100000. This produced a
favorable balance of $645 100000 in the
country's foreign trade, which is
about $25,oo0,0oo ahead of the big
record made in the calender year 1893.

A writer on modern waterways says
that in the near future electric trac-

horses in towing barges and the speed
has been increased from one-fourth

Arizona is supposed to be almost an
unbroken desert, but in reality it has
the largest unbroken pine forest in
the United States, covering an area of
over 5000 square miles. This timber
is usually found at an altitude of be-
tween $500 and $500 feet. The total
quantity of pine timber fit for saw
ing purposes within the boundaries
of the territory amounts to 100000
600 feet, which can supply the needs
of a populous state for more than a

presents a pleasant picture OF the
Virginia country gentleman. Ana
yet, says the Chicago Inter Ocean,
there were not lacking, even in the
ornaments of the house, indications
of the heroic mold in which its mas
ter was cast. When Washington first
settled with his wife at Mount Yer
non he ordered from Europe the
busts of Alexander the Great, Charles
XII. of Sweden, Julius Caesar, Fred
erick of Prussia, Marlborough and
Prince Eugene, and in addition asked
for statuettes of "two wild beasts"
First, his admiration is for the great
soldier and statesman; next, the
reckless but brilliant military adven-
turer, and last the exciting chase.
Washington was married at 27. AL
ready he was one of the foremost
men of the country. For him the
myrtle and ivy were entwined with
the laurel, and fame was sweetened
by youth. He was righteously ready
to draw from life all the good things
which fate and fortune, then smiling
upon him, could offer, and he took
his pleasures frankly and freely, with
an honest heart. One loves to pic
ture that gallant, generous, youth
full figure, brilliant in color and man
ly in form, riding gayly on from one
little colonial town to another, feast
ing, dancing, courting and making
merry"
Three months after his marriage
| Washington settled down to the life
of planter at beautiful Mount Yer
non. Much of the furnishing for his
house was ordered from London, and
the selections denoted refinement and
an intense sense of propriety. He ap-
peared to have an unfailing instinct
in everything for that which is ap-
propriate. His own dress, his furni-
turc, his harnesses, the things for
his stepchildren, all displayed love
of simplicity, but with a constant in
sistence that all should be of the
best.
Washington's active life, as well as
his pleasures, was largely out of
doors. He understood every branch
of farming; he rose early, worked
steadily, gave everything his person
al supervision, kept his own accounts
with wonderful exactness, and he
made money. lie farmed, as he fought
and governed, better than anybody
else. At that time he appeared an
evenly-balanced, square and solid
planter.
His hobby was hunting. Washing
toms stables were filled with the best
animals that Virginia could furnish.
He has set down in the register him
self the, "blooded coach horses" for
Mrs. Washington's carriage, Magno-
| liza, fullblooded Arabian, used by
it's owner as a roadster, ponies for
the children, and, finally, the high
bred hunters, Chinkling and Valiant,
| Ajax and Blueskin, and a score of
others. In the morning he visited the
stables first, and next he visited and

Washington here exercised the
household as at Mount Vernon. All
accounts were scrutinized, and no ex-
trayagance or waste permitted. But
with the strictest economy it is said
that his expenses far exceeded his
salary of $4,000.
The diary which Washington kept
here, as all through life, is most in
teresting, and gives a pleasant
glimpse of life in the capital of the
United States at that day.
One day he writes: "Sat from nine
until II o'clock for Mr.. Trumbull to
draw my picture in his historical
pieces" Again: "Sat from ten
o'clock till II for Mr.. John Trumbull
to draw my picture. A good deal of
company gentlemen and ladies) to
visit Mrs. Washington this after
noon." In very many places he notes
with apparent satisfaction the num-
ber and style of persons at these re-
ceptions. One Saturday he writes:
"Walked to my newly-engaged lodg-
ings to fix on a spot for new stable
which l was about to build. Agreed
with - to erect one 80 feet square,
16 feet pitch. to contain IL stalls,
etc, for C Co.
Along with these homely notes are
memoranda of state affairs and rec
ords of weighty discussions.
During his term of Office Washing
ton made tours to the New England
and southern states.
In His Retirement.
Soon after Washington's retirement
to Mount Vernon he wrote to MeHenry
a letter, which gives good picture OF
his life as he took it up again on his
farm. 81 find myself" he says, Sin the
situation nearly of beginner; for, al
