NO. 10

She is 4 fine old lady, Of high spirit,
and it would take something more
than all the decorations in England
to "jar" her. When 1t came to max
ing up the lists of guests to ride in the
procession the committee was in sad
fix. 1t had already asked Hiram, and
it wanted to invite Hudson, also; but
Hiram sent word that is Hudson rode
in the procession he (Hiram) would
stay in his room and study up a few
more gun patents.
The committee felt that to lose
Hiram, with all his medals, would be
to spoil the whole celebration, so it
went to Hudson and told him how sorry
it was, but that he could see how it
was, ETC.; and Hudson, beng the bet
ter-tempered, said "All right" and the
committee breathed again. While the
two brothers we're in Wayne the villag-
ers took sides in the quarrel, and it
was the most exciting time that Wayne
has ever known.

FOR THAT TIRED FEELING.

Spring fever is one of the ailments
that every one expects more or or less;
certainly as soon as the first blue bird
bird puts in an appearance. 1t comes
with the coming of the dandelions and
it fingers throughout the days of early
spring, and whetehr it is disease or
only a balancing of the books, it is a
mighty uncomfortable condition. But
it is in the spring vegetables that the
natural remedies and tonics are most
successfully disguised. Since spring
fever comes with the dandelions it is
easy to see that there is connection
between the two. No matter how you
have lived through the winter, whether
lavishly or sparingly there is certain
to be much that needs remedying, and
the remedy is close at hand ifyou only
knew how to recognize it. In dande-
lion there is cure for dyspepsia and
for the lack Of appetite that proves the
system is out Of order. Spring onions,
radish and lettuce are great natural
medicines. Spinach should put IN a
frequent appearance on the table. 1t
contains more iron than almost any
vegetable or fruit and offers it in a
most agreeable form.
Eaten frequently, it is sure to i'm
prove a muddy complexion through its
work of doing up the system. Onions
should be largely patronized during
the spring. Those crisp little tops eaten
with bread and butter at bedtime do
much toward encouraging sound slum-
Der. Onions are really fine nerve
tonic. There is much sense in eating
eggs during the spring, for in them
we have needed dose of sulphur.
Rhubarb is but another exhortation to
cat of the things in season. 1t is mex
pensive and thoroughly wholesome
article of diet and lends itself to many
delicious preparations. The point OF
the lesson that nature strives to teach
is eat of the things in season. You
do not find blackberries ripening in
April. There is no need for them then;
but in their own time they have
most beneficial effect upon the diges-
ton. But in the spring it is the onion,
the cress, dandelion and spinach the
system demands, and they are ready
to respond to the call.

Long before the birth of Washing
ington the neighboring village of Bla-
densburg was thriving trading port.
Up the Eastern Branch Of the Potomac
how scarcely more than rivulet-
foreign vessels tloated, which dis
charged their cargoes at wharf at the
foot of Main street, and returned laden
with fragrant, rich-hued tobacco. The
town. named for Governor Bladen of
Mary land, is built within a basin, its
picturesque houses-many of which
possess real historic interest-showing
prettily upon its sloping sides. Near
it is the famous dueling-ground, where
more ':affairs of honor have been set
tied than upon any single spot in the
world.
Another contiguous point is that
upon which, on August "a, 1914, the
American militia encountered the
British regulars and endeavored to
prevent their disastrous advance upon
the Capital Among those who hur-
ried to the scene was company OF
Baltimore society men, known as the
Silk Stockings" They left the city
elatcd with hope, and, returning with
drooped banners, were mercilessly
twitted with their defeat.
YES" replied one of them who was
Il wag, 'the British got the better of
us at first. but we beat them in the
long run
Before the engagement President
Madison, with number of officials,
and Francis Scott Key, who SO soon
afterward wrote "The Star-Spangled
Banner" reviewed the position of the
IT, ops. Mcanw bile the immortal Dolly
from her vantage ground at an uppor
White House window, watched
through q spyglass for their return.
refusing-when the British poured into
the city and danger was immncnt-to
leave the building until the safety of
the painting of ashington, now in its
East Room, and Of the Declaration of
Independ, nee had been secured
MEMORIALS OF TIE BATTLE.
About the field the ploughshare even
now occasionally y unearths some trophy
of the battle, while here and there is
an object named i'm commemoration OF
some one Of its leading cvcn's. Among
these is Barney Spring, where Com
modore Barney's horse was shot from
under him; and where, covered with
wounds, he fell into the enemy's hands.
The wounded British were carried into
the "Wirt House" the quaint old
building (now occupied by negroes) in
which William Writ. the Attorney
General Of the United States and pros
ccuting counsel in the celebrated Aaron
| Burr case, was born The porch OF
the house has fallen to decay, but the
main structure is well preserved

A DEFENSE OF
LATE SUPPERS.

A writer in the Italia Termale de-
clares in the favor of late suppers. He
says that many people who remain thin
and weakly in spite Of all precautions
in regard to diet, etc, owe the tact
largely to habitual abstemiousness at
night. He remarks that physiology
teaches us that in sleeping, as in wax
ing, there is a perpetual waste going
on in the tissues Of tie body, and it
seems but logical that nourishment
should be continuous.
The digestion Of the food taken at
dinner or in the early evening is finish
ed as usual thing before or by bed
time, yet the activity of the process
of assimilation. etc, continues for hours
afterward, and when one retires with
an empty stomach the result of this
activity is sleeplessness and an undue
wasting of the system. All other
creatures, says the writer, outside of
man are governed by a natural in
stinct which leads those having a
stomach to eat before lying down for
the night. The infant, guided by the
same instict, takes the breast frequent
ly in the night, as we'll as in the day,
and its stomach is allowed to remain
empty too long is shows it's discom-
fort by crying.
The digestive organs have no need
for repose, provided always that the
quantity Of nourishmcnt taken within
the 81 hours does not go beyond the
normal limit. The fact that the inter-
walls between meals is short works no
Inconvenience, but, on the contrary,
tends to the avoidance of feebleness
which is the natural result of an in
terval extended to too great length.
Feeble persons, lean anil emaciated
persons, and above all those suffering
from insomania, owe it to themselves
not to retire without taking some
nourishmrnt into the stomach-bread
and butter, glass Of rich milk, a few
biscuits, or even a bit of juicy cold
meat, for instance. lMlicai Record.

KEEP THE BALANCE UP.

1t has been truthfully said that any
disturbance of even balance OF health
causes serious trouble. Nobody can
be too careful to keep this balance up.
When people begin to lose appetite, or
to get tired easily, the least imprudence
brings on sickness, weakness or debili-
ty. The system needs tonic, Graves
it, and should not be denied it; and the
best tonic of which we have any know
ledge is Hoods Sarsaparilla. What
this medicine has done in keeping
healthy people healthy, in keeping up
the even balance of health, gives it the
same distinction as preventative
that it enjoys as cure. Its early use
has illustrated the wisdom of the old
saying that stitch in time saves nine.
Take Hoods for appetite, strength,
and endurance.

now owned by Mrs. Heth Of Washing
ton, the widow of Gen. Harry Heth, q
gallant Confederate officer, who died a
year ago in that city.
At the time of the duel Decatur was
living in a house built by himself, the
first erected on Lafayette Square. 1t
is still handsome residence, and was
occupied by Van Buren when Presi-
dent, by Judah P. Benjamin and by
General Beale, the father of Mrs. John
r. Mclean. Ignorant of the tragedy
being enacted, Mrs. Decatur was en-
tertaining party of friends at dinner,
among whom was Dolly Madison and
Mrs. Richard Cults, the mother Of
Mrs. Stephen A. Douglas, who was
living until quite recently in Wash
ington.
Gas we sat laughing and talking
around the table," Mrs. Cults said,
"the intelligence was conveyed to us,
and overcome by it our hostess fell
unconscious upon the floor
A few moments attcrward the
wounded officer was borne into the
house and, lingering for several hours
in great suffering, died about midnight.
His remains were taken to Philadel-
phia, where they were placed in St.
Peters Church yard, an Ionic pillar,
crowned by an American eagle, mark
ing his grave.
Mrs. Decatur removed to George
town, where, with faithful female at
tendant, she occupied a cottage within
the Jesuit College grounds. Uniting
herself with the Catholic Church, she
lived the life OF recluse, never cross
ing the bridge leading into Washing
ton except once, when she went to visit
Mrs. Madison, who was ill. She be-
queathe,l to the College the portrait
of her husband, painted in his uniform,
which hangs in the library so beauti-
fully fitted up by the late Francis

In 1888 Washington was stirred to
its foundation by a duel which took
place in Bladensburg between Senator
Cilley Of Maine and James Watson
Webb, editor of the New York Courier
and Enqnirer.
Cllley was killed at the third fire
and the seconds were severely censured
for permitting the repeated exchange
of shots. The Supreme Court refused
to attend Mr.. Cilley's funeral, as pro-
test against the custom; and Congress
passed an act making the giving or
accepting Il challenge within the Dis
trict misdeneanor punishable. with

A SOCIOLOGICAL TRAGEDY.

Four years at college stud d he,
He got his bachelor degree,
A. B.,
When he from college haIl> withdrew,
Such wondrous knowledge there they brew,
He knew:
Science dismal, science gay,
Sciences in great array,
Science social, science mental,
Science sure. none accidental.
Arts beside in endless number
(Ordinary brains they'd cunber),
Arts most free and arts dependent.
Arts just plain and arts resplenden.:
Biology, phi'ology.
Philosophy, theosophy,
Mathematics, hydrostatics,
Geology, psychology,
Cosmography, geography.
Microscopy, stereoscopy.
But why add to the grim citationo
Near all defy pronunciation,
And soon he boasted of wife.
Il fear me he began life
Of strife.)
Four years at college studied she;
She won her ba chelor degrce,
And see:
Wondrous were the things she knew,
Wise enough to f1uster you,
Sciences occult and hidden,
Hobbies scholiasts long have ridden;
Arts profound and arts unending,
Arts know not whittier tending,
Arts polite though complicated,
Arts that much her soul elated.
Neurology, physiology,
Astronomy, economy,
Ceramics, dynamics,
Decoration, education,
Hist ology, cosmology,
PhCnology, photology.
But why increase the inventory"
It's such a sad and awful story.
These two were welded long ago,
If anything they now would know,
Oho
They, looking for the when and why,
Consult vast volumes on the sly.
Omy!
Their wisdom nearly all forgot
(They call all knowledge rot,
l wot),
Their thoughts are ever given to
How ten per week may see them through.
Boo hoo!
