 sum of twenty-five cents is collected from every person entering the grounds which are open from Ii a, m. to D. n.--but the association denies that Mount Vernon is 'an excursion resort for music and feasting," and excludes lunch baskets as well as lighted cigars.
 Mount Vernon was named by Law renee Washington for Admiral Vernon of the British navy, under whom he served in Colonial times in the war against Spain. The present mansion
 was built in part in 1743 at probable cost of $1OO0O From Lawrence Wash ington Mount Vernon passed to his brother, George Washington. The tract now held by the association em- braces 2351a acres, including the POP acres deeded to it by John A. Washing ton in 1868 and the thirty three and half acres conveyed to it by Jay Gould in July, 1887. The original tract was d grant of 5000 acres from Lord Culpeper to John Washington and Nicholas Spenser in 1874. In 169O the 5000 acres were divided between the grantees, 2,50O falling to John Washington George Washington increased the acreage to 4,00O acres, which he left to his nephew, Bushrod Washington. The latter, re- ducing the Mount Vernon tract to 1225 acres, left it to John A. Washington, from whose widow it passed to his eld- est son, and from him the Ladies' asso- citation of Mount Vernon bought, as stated, 202 acres and Jay Gould thirty three and q half acres.

Art and Ll1e,

When the earth darkens. and the Voices call Old friends, old loves what thing that
 you have done Will you remember gladly? Will it be The knowledge hardly won, and at the end The masterpiece men bow to? Some picture that shall live throughout the
 years, And ever be a shining mystery To them that follow! on, from common
 stone To carve some miracle of loveliness That shall not perish. Oh, to write book With all the best that you have seen and
 heard And suffered set forth there upon the page, So that, through all the pages, one at least Shall read and make you immortal.
 So you pray, Till Art seems Life; but when the Voices
 call And the earth darkens, and the stars are
 yelled You will forget the prayer, forget the deed You will remember how you gave q flower Once, to child that wept, and how the
 face Of the tired mother blessed you as the child Laughed and was quieted. On time,
 word, And a hands touch that fingered, gave to
 one Tempted and tried the courage that was
 lost. Once long ago, there was a little maid, And, though the years have hid her, you
 will know Her perfect faith, the best of all your gain. Thus, when earth darkens and the Voices
 call Art will grow less; and small forgotten
 things Will steal like stars into the evening sky, Into your heart, and you will hear the call And, at the last. make answer well content

Mrs. Ames, of Ayot St. Lawrence,
 Herts. The hat and shoes are in them
 selves notable relics, but their chief in-
 terest lies in the fact that they are the
 title deeds of the estate of Ayot St.
 Lawrence. They were given by Henry
 VIII to an ancestor of the late Colonel
 Ames in singular circumstances. The
 story goes that when the king was rid
 ing through Hertfordshire with Anne
 Boleyn and company of attendants he
 passed by Ayot St. Lawrence and tn-
 quired to whom the place belonged. It
 was in reality royal possession, and
 this was explained to Henry by one of his courtiers (the ancestor mentioned), who added that he wished that the es- tate belonged to himself instead. And so it shall,' said the king; and the es
 tate was then and there handed oves to the courier, who, however, crayed some token of it's surrender. The king gave his hat and made Anne Boleyn part with her shoes, and the three articles have remained ever since in the possess sion of the family.
 Another remarkable relic at the New Gallery will be the shirt worn by Charles I at his execution. while among the many pictures will be an unbroken series of portraits of the kings and queens from the time of Edward III to the present day. The committee which is responsible for the organization of the exhibition, and which is presided over by the Duke of Cambridge, has been very successful in it's applications for pictures and other objects of histor- ic interest, and the "Monarchs of Eng land" collection promises to be excep- tionally attractive. Among the princi- pal contributors are the Duke of Nor folk, the Duke of Beaufort, the Duke of Devonshire, the Duke of Rutland, the Duke of Sutherland, the Marquis of Northampton, Lord Essex, Lord Ash burnham, Lord Ancaster, Lord Brown low, Lord Denbigh, Lord Darnley, Lord Pembroke, Lord Waldegrave, Lord Arundel of Wardour, Lord Bolton, Lord de L'Isle and Dudley, Lord Ron aid Cover Lord BaFot Lord Vaux of Lord Zouche, the Corpora tion of London, the universities of Ok ford and Cambridge, the Society of An | tiGuarians, the Deans and Chapters of Durham, Winchester and Windsor, and MT. Charles Butler. The exact date of the opening of the exhibition has not l yet been fixed, but it will probably be | January or 10.-London Morning Post. |

SOMETHING ABOUT MOUNT VERNON

Judge James B Sever has collected some interesting and little known facts about Mount Vernon. It is supposed by many that Mount Vernon is owned by the Federal government. But this is not the fact, the property being held by corporation composed exclusively of women under a Virginia charter. It is subject to the inspection of a Virginia. board of visitors, and by an act of the Virginia egislature-passed when the young corporation was without its present productive endowment and large income from sightseers-is ex- empted from taxation. The assoc,a- tion's assets May l. 1901 invested in se- curities and held in cash, were $S1, ,105, exclusive of the land and residence, which cost $200,000 when acquired in 1858. and additional land worth $2.5OO given by Jay Gould. The productive endowment in May last was $59, $50. In to the income from this source the receipts of the association for the fiscal year ended April 30 1901, were

One of the ways in which this coun- try has grown rich lately is by utilizing things that formerly went to waste. For
 instance, cottonseed. Before 1860, the
 disposal of cottonseed gave the ginner and the community much trouble. The seed was usually hauled to remote place to rot, or dumped into some con venient stream of running water. With the growth of population and increase in cotton culture, this careless method of disposal often became a nuisance. In some localities where the soil re- quired replenishing the thrifty farmers employed the seed as a fertilizer. It was discovered that through the manip- ulations of the oil mill all of the value of the seed as fertilizer was retained, and at the same time it was, through it's by-products, made to contribute lnarvelously to the general economy of wealth. The result is that from a pro- uuct that was ueenleu nuisdHce III loot there was produced in 1900 value of over $42,00O,00O, and only 51 per cent of the available raw material was util- ized. The Census shows that in 1900 there were 357 establishments engaged in the extraction of cottonseed oil in this country, using 2,479,3S6 tons of cot costing over s2S,00O,0O0, an av- craze cost of $1155 ton. The total value of the products was SAP, ,411,S S35, of great natural resources. When we become really prudent there will be some surprising results.

Consul Skinner, at Marseiles in a report to the State department tells the following facts about olive oil While good bad and indifferent oils are ex- ported from Europe, the great bulk of carefully bottled olive oils, prepared es- pecially for the United States trade, is genuine; but buyers, and especially act ual consumers in the United States, are not always familiar with the delicate nature of olive oil, and fail to realize that, unlike wine, which improves with age, it begins to deteriorate from the moment Ot manufacture. There IS a very great difference in the quality of crops of different years, which, when good. permit the resultant oil to be kept sweet sometimes for number of years On the other hand, when the crop is bad, as was the case last year, rancidity and congelation can scarcely be prevented after the oil is twelve months old. The crop was so bad last year that a number of crushers in Spain, who in part supply the large packers in this region, refused to make any deliveries whatever, preferring to

The recent competition in Paris has ehown that alcohol can hold it's own against petroleum generally, and coal itself in some cases, as an economical source of light, heat and motive power. All kinds of motors, both stationary and portable, were shown working with al- cohol in the same manner as they might have been by petroleum; and in the va rious systems of lighting alcohol affords the same intensity while for domestic warming and industrial firing it pos sesses over coal and petroleum the great advantage of being clean, of burning without smoke or smell, and of not fouling the appliances. At the present prices in France, from fifty to sixty cents per litre (.55 of a gallon), debased alcohol, mixed with carburis- CT which increases it's calorific power, is practically on par with petroleum; and M Sabatier asserts in the Matin that the price might be reduced to that reigning in Germany, or by more than 50 per cent.

Two brothers married two sisters in Sandorfalvia, in Hungary. It is neces- sary in Hungary that civic marriage should procede the ceremony in the church. At the civil ceremony Emmer- ick Tanks was married to Katieza Pa tay and Francis Tanks to Mary Patay. Then the young couples went to the church for the final ceremony At the altar the brides somehow changed places, eventually leaving the church married to the wrong husbands. The bridegrooms appealed to the priest for advice, but he said the brides father could settle the matter. That gentle man agreed to give the decision at the termina ton of the wedding feast. By that time, however, he had drunk not wisely but too well, and was incapable of anything. The matter had to be brought before the courts, which decid- cd to give the brides to the men they loved.
