Even the names of the streets in
Alexandria are reminiscent of the old
regime, the principal thoroughfares
rejoicing in the names of King, Wash
ington, Princess. Duke, St AsaDh. Pitt
and Fairfax. There may yet be viewed
the LOwrasOn or Smoot house, where
Lafayette and his suite We're quartered
when the distinguished Frenchman
was so royalty entertained upon the
occasion of his visit to Alexandria in
1925. and on King street is the Mar
shall house, where Col. Ellsworth of
the New York Zouaves paid the pen
atty Of his life for tearing down Con
feterate flag-one of the most drama
tic incidents of the civil war.
Even the houses which have no par
ticular historical association are SO
strange as to give the visitors the i'm
preston that he has suddenly been set
down in foreign land in another coun-
try. Rich carving ornaments the stair
cases; there are quaint old porticos.
Century old walled-in gardens contrib
ute an air of mystery, heightened by
damp courtyards and sepulchral wine
vaults, and, finally, stately mahogany
furniture, treasures in old china and
somber old family portraits aid in car
rying out the impression. For all that
did 1t not happen to be on the road
from Washington to Mount Vernon it
is likely that Alexandria would be al
most entirely neglected by the modern
tourist.
The most interesting place in Alex
andria, however, is the old Christ

ciated are to be found in the quaint
little town of Alexandria. nesting on
the banks OF the Potomac a few miles
below the national capital. In the
days when Mount Vernon was the
center OF American heart interest and
the site of the present city of Wash.
tngton was but a broad expanse of
green meadows Alexandria was a city
OF consequence and the capital of a
social domain quite as brilliant in its
way as that which now holds sway
at the American seat of government
George Washington always took the
greatest interest in the welfare of the
little city, whittier he turned alike for
supplies for his plantation and for the
social diversions of which he was no.
toriously fond. The great cobblestones
in Alexandria's streets were laid by
the Hessian prisoners under Washing
tons directions. Here the Masonic
lodge of which he was worshipful mas.
ter held its festivities. here he came
to Sunday services in old Christ's
church, sitting with his family in the
old square pew which yet bears the
silver plate with the facsimile of his
autograph, and here finally, he came
to indulge his proverbial fondness for
dancing at the celebrated birth night
balls instituted in his honor
However, George Washingtons con-
nectiOn with Alexandria dates back far
beyond the time when he was feted

upon the people of the parish for the
purpose of building a new church at
Alexandria, for which the ground was
donated by Charles Alexander. The
church was built for s60O by James
Parsons. in accordance with plans
drawn by an architect named Wren.
On the day of acceptance ten pews
were offered for sale, and No. was
purchased by Col. George Washing
ton for f36 los, being the highest
price paid.
The woodwork and walls are white,
which seems to add to the surround
ings charming air of purity and sim
plicity. There is the altar, with its
heavy canopy, on each side OF which
are large panels containing the orlgi-
nal doctrines of the church printed
in bold, old-fashioned letters. Direct
by Charles Alexander. To the left of
the font is the reading pulpit. In the
wall on each side of the chancel are
set tablets. The one to the left is in
scribed ITO the Memory of George
Washington" and the one to the right
ITO the Memory of Robert L. Lee" "
In the middle of the room hangs an
elaborate chandelier which was pre-
sented to the church in 1885 by Wash
ington; it was made for candles, they
being used for Illuminating until 1853.
Over on the left side of the church
is the pew which Washington bought
for G36 los. 1t is a high box, about
five by eight feet in dimensions, and
has straightbacked seats on three
sides. All the pews were originally

church, where Washington and Lee
worshiped. There among the trees it
stands, simple and unadorned in it's
architecture. and, with it's old red
brick walls and stately steeple, it
looms up as a monument to the past.
The north side of the building is al
most entirely covered with ivy. To
the left of the church stretches the
churchyard, with its solemn tomb
stones, a century old, standing like
sentinels guarding the last earthly
resting places of the dead forefathers
That Washington was faithful in
his attendance at the meetings of his
church is conclusively shown by the
diary kept by himself, some of the en-
tries in which are as follows:
"1zGO, Feb. 9, Rev. C. Green difed at

but the finest specimen Of German
sculpture in Nuremberg is found in
the church of St Sebaldo. and is a
bronze monument, designed and partly
executed by Peter Nischer.
This beautifully wrought monument
to st. Sebaldo was completed in the
year 1919, after careful work during
fifteen years. 1t consists of a sar

situation. Six gates divide the walls
around the city, and there is a bridge
across the river 100 feet in length.
A German: poet has wisely sung: II
any one would know and praise Ger
many, he must see Nuremberg, the
home of Albrecht, Durer, Fischer and
Hans Sachs" Although art and archi-
lecture in Nuremberg belong to a later
period than that of Ratisbon, the city
is even more interesting. The fortifi
cations date back as far as the middle
ages, and still present a formidable ap-
prarance. A rampant encircles the
city, with here and there a tower, and
protected outside by dry moat,
which is 80 feet in depth.
The old castle in Nuremberg is
called the Burg" and is full of his
toric interest. 1t was built in the
eleventh century, and afterward en-
larged and repaired by Frederic Bar
barossa. Its foundations are of solid
rock. and its architecture is Gothic.
Near one of its curious towers is an
old well of great depth, and on the
castle wall are two footprints, made
by the horse of a robber-knight, who
was imprisoned in the Burg" but
escaped by leaping over the high wall

community of by-gone age with its
colonial doorways of the Georgian Pc
riod. it's Liverpool warehouses and
mansions set close to the pavement
are the records of young Washington's
enlistment in the French and Indian
war and indeed there is the old house
in which Gen. Braddock held council
of war with five colonial governors. At
Alexandria, too, Washington voted for
the candidates for the house of bur
gesses at a time when the air was
6lled with the first mutterngs of the
impending storm of revolt.
Old Alexandria is rampant with fas-
cinating traditions relative to the
greatest rebel of all times. 1t is re-
lated that when as boy he was study
ing surveying and living at Mount Yer
non, then the residence of his brother
he was wont torde into Alexandria as
many as ten times a week, each time
mounted upon a different horse, any
one of which would have delighted the
heart of cavalryman. The future
leader of the continental army took
great Interest Ill Training lHt Alehdu-
dria militia and many of its people
accompanied him on the campaign
which ended with Braddock's defeat.
After Washington married and in
herited Mount Vernon he greatly
shocked the aristocratic society of AL
exandria by sending his market cart
to the city to dispose of the produce
of his estate, but he endeared himself
to the humber portion of the COM
munity by his work in securing the
erection Of the first town pump. In
his younger days he had been an eD'
thusiastic member Of the Alexandria
volunteer fire company and assisted
in extinguishing many a blaze. In
O775 he purchased, at cost of $40O,
a small fire engine. and sent 1t to his
fellow firemen In the little city on the
Potomac.

What To Do.
There is comfort III the knowledge so
often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
1t corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of !Swamp-Root
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need medicine
