Mules Better Than Horses.

Mules Better Than Horses.
why do we drive mules instead OF
horses? Well. you see, poor horse cannot
stand up to the work as well as a common
mule, and common mules are cheaper than
gco6 horses. 1t also costs less to feed a mule
than a horse, where both animals do the
same work. A horse needs more grain than
a mule. These long-eared propellers of ours
get along very we'll on rough, long feed,
with little grain now and then. 1t used
to be that nearly all the day and night
boats between here and Cumberland car

three or four six-mule boats on the canal

Yes, sir, 1 used to boat on this canal
when we towed across the Aqueduct and
along down to Alexandria. Those were in
the days before the war. l remember when
the government let the water out of the
canal where it crossed the bridge and made
a wagon road in the canal bed. That was
long before they built those iron spans on
the piers
BOatmen's Meeting Ha1se.
One of the features of the Georgetown
level of the canal is the boatmens meeting
house. Religious service is held there on
Sunday, and a Sunday school for the
boatmen's children is conducted by an
elderly woman, whose name, as given to
the reporter by persons living in the neigh
borhood, is Mrs. Saffold. The meeting
house is of brick, plastered with limewash
in imitation of red paint. 1t is fourteen feet
front by ten feet deep. The shingles of the
roof are green with moss. There is rude
pavement before the door, laid with brick
bats and fiat pieces of Potomac bluestone
The house stands on the river side of the
towpath two hundred feet east of the
Foundry branch culvert. Budding popiars
sheltered from north winds, some spring
green, principally garlic and chickweed is
looking up Nailed over the door is cross
painted white, and under It the following
inscription:

The bluestone foundation of the house is
very old and the superstructure is not new.
1t rests on part of the foundation walls of
Masons foundry, which gave to the little
branch which passes under the canal near
by its name. This foundry was famous for
the ordnance cast in it. The cannon, after
being turned out, were drawn up the valley
of the branch to the vicinity of the old
picnic ground at Green Springs and there
tested. Philip r. Zier, who lives a few
rods north of the Conduit road where 1t
crosses Foundry branch, while excavating
for a foundation for a new building re-
Gently unearthed a broken cannon. The
gun had a finch bore. and weighed about
six hundred pounds. 1t is set in the Zier
garden as an ornament.
When Mason's foundry passed out of ex-
fstence the buildings were converted into a
distiliery, and the place was long known as
Welsh's distillery. One building after an
other fell into decay. Some were permitted
to go to destruction, while one of the larger
was converted into Tenney's mill, and on a
part of the foundry's foundation brick
watch house was erected. 1t is this cid
watch house which Is now the meeting
house.
Preparations for the opening of the canal
are making. Several of the levels have been
cleaned and repairs made to locks Coal

PAINFUL OPERATION.
Flesh Cut From Side of Josephine
Prickett to Save Cousin.

To save the life of her little cousin,
Josephine Prickctt. the young daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. William $. Prickett Of
No. 1907 West Fourteenth street, allowed
Il most painful operation to be performed
on her. Several days ago her seven-year-
old cousin, Joseph Polls, son of the Rev.
and Mrs. Samuel Polk, of Eddington,
Pa, was so badly burned that it was
necessary to cngraft flesh from other hui
man beings in order to save his life.
Learning of this, Josephine, of her
own accord, offered to allow n portion
of her skin to be taken from her side,
and with great deal Of satisfaction
submitted to the operation. About 20
CRAFTS were taken from her.
Thus far about 100 CRAFTS have been
applied 10 the burned portions Of the
body. About so have come from the
boys father. Miss Amos of York, Pa,
and Mr.. Ellis Of Philadelphia as well as
little Josephine Prickett of this city, all
permitted the ENGRAVING of portions of
their skin upon the injured child. His CON
dition continues very serious, but it is
hoped that the heroic efforts made will
save his life.
