smallpox being one of the dread visit
ors that invaded the camp.
Washington's headquarters at Val
ley Forge appear to-day almost pre-
cisely as they did when the Father OF
his Country was domiciled within it.
From cellar to attic. it is in good
state of preservation.
The doors, with bolts and locks. are
the very same his hands moved. The
floors are those over which the great
chieftain walked in many weary hour.
The window glass and sash are UNI
changed since the days when his
anxious eyes looked through them at
the soldiers huts upon the hills.
All this has been made possible
through the Valley Forge Anniversary
association, under whose auspices the
great celebration of June 10 will take
place, and who, through their persist
emit efforts, have saved the historic old
spot, fitting national monument OF
the scenes it commentaries.
The association has been ably sec
onded in all its movements by the
Daughters of the American Revolution,
who look after and care for the pri-
vate apartments of Mrs. Washington
at Valley Forge, having fitted up her
sleeping rooms on the same plan as
the one she occupied at Mount Vernon.
Valley Forge lies &c miles outside OF
Philadelphia. The sightseer, as he
steps off the car, recognizes that the
influence of modern progress has been
| but little felt here. At least its in
| fiuence for harm has been spared. and
Valley Forge, almost alone OF all his
! toric places of America, remains in es
! sentials the Valley Forge of Washing
tons day.
The old forge itself. built in 1851 and
destroyed by the British in 17.1. from
which the valley took its name. wa.
burned down few years ago for thu
second time. Nearly all the other land
marks remain.
Indeed, no one who has not visftc,
Valley Forge has the slightest idea o
the extent of the relics and reminder
of the revolution which still exis
there. The earthworks. as they stan'
to-day, are six and eight feet in heigh
and several miles in length, while tn
old forts known as Fort Washington
and Fort Huntingdon are still plainl,
marked out, as well as the headquar
tiers of Lafayette, Knox and Wayne.

FAMOUS MONASTERY.

During that geological period in the
earth's formation known as the mio-
Gene age that portion of the inside OF
the earth lying under the central and
southwestern sections of France could
not contain itself, so anxious was 1t
to see what was going on in the out
side world. With a mighty upheaval
it broke through the thin crust, and,
in volcanoes of gigantic proportions,
proceeded to spit fire and lava all
c7er that section of the world. When
it had exhausted it's strength and its
fury had spent itself it subsidized, and

left as monuments any number of high
hills, which, with the ravages of time,
lave been worn away until at the pres
ent time nothing but series of con-
ical-shaped "puys," or mountains, re-
main. One of the most picturesque
and attractive to the traveller in France
to-day is located at lie Puy en- Velay,
situated 30 miles southwest of Lyons
and made up of combination of the
cid town and the new surrounding VIII
lagos, having in 1896 . population OF
some 20,793.
The conical mountain, called the
Rocher of ST. Michel, is volcanic
rock. which was once probably sur
rounded by q cone of scoria coming
originally from the throat of the vol
cano. This has been denuded so that
only the solid rock of the throat or
pipe is left.
The Druid stronghold, once an islet,
was the scene of the apparition of ST.
Michael, in EOS, and became the seat
of a great monastery, which, hall
church of God, half fortress, has MEM
cries of Henrys l., ii. and V. of Eng
land, the last being successfully re-
sisted in two sieges. The revolution
transformed this celebrated place OF
pilgrimage into a prison, and such 1t
remained until 1868. In 1874 it was de-
clared historic monument, and large
sums have been spent on its restora'
ton. The buildings included the
church, built in 1140 and remodeied
in 1921; the great cloisters, built IN
122s; the Hall of the Chevaliers. where
| Louis NJ. in 1869 founded the Order OF
st. Michael, and the monastery proper
| called La Mervielle from its huge
north wall of the thirteenth century
246 feet long and 1Os feet high.

knot was held firmly on the corner
with the thumb, and quarter circle
marked. Then the second knot was
held at the corner and second quar-
ter circle marked. and this was repeat
ed with the third knot. The first knot
was then placed at the upper edge OF
the third circle and the process re-
peated, continuing the entire length
of one side and following one row with
another.
The marking was usually done after
the quilt was placed upon the frames,
working short distance ahead. as the
quilt was rolled. A. some of the mod
ern bees, however, it has been found
that more accurate marking can be
done, and the time of the quilters
saved. il the entire cover is marked

If one of the modern stamping pat
terms is used the same rule holds good,
and the entire surface is stamped by
repeating the pattern before thequilt-
ing is begun.
Patterns for piecing quilts. like
those for quilting, are sometimes bor-
rowed from old time models. The al
bum pattern has been revived by
church societies. This has center
the name of the maker is outlined or
written. A member Of church or of
a society will often pay a high price
for one of these autograph quilts.
They are also used for gifts or pres
entations.
Church societies find profitable en-
ployment for the weekly or fortnight
ly meetings in piecing or quilting, as
well as in tying comforters. The quilts
are usually individual orders, while the
orders for comforters often come
from large dry goods houses. One
society has a record Of tying 25 COM
forters in a day. To save time in
marking each one, they hit upon an
ingenious plan. An old sheet was
marked in diagonal lines. At each in
tersection of these lines hole as large
around as a five-cent piece was cut.
The sheet was then pinned on over a
comforter and the tying was done
| through the holes thus prepared. The
sheet could be used again and again.

ClNCHIEG CHINA


the result of the Boxer outbreak. upon
poor old decrepit China, threatens to
become intolerabiy heavy. The in /
demnity exacted by the powers was
from the first so excessive as to const- !
tute a disgrace to all who proposed to
share in it. Happily, to our own Gov
eminent cOunseled moderation, and so /
did much to clear it's skirts Of the Cd |
ium Of participating in the plumber.
Now comes the question as to whether
the balance of the indemnity is to be
paid in silver or gold. China has no
gold to pay with. and the only way
she could get any was by selling her
silver for whatever it would bring. She
resorted to that process in order to
make good her first payment, with the
result that the white metal in silver
dollar became worth only thirty-eight
cents. and it would soon have been
worth much less if the process had
been continued. 1t simply had to be
stopped. To further finance the in
demnity became an impossibility. The
question now is as to what is to be
done. All the powers, except the Uni
ted States are determined, it is belle
we'd. to exact all that is denOminated
in the bond-that is, gold. But you
cannot get blood out of a turnip, nor
pants off a Highlander. nor gold from
a creditor who owns nothing but sill
yer. A sort of retributive justice has
followed the first attempt on the part
of the powers to collect the Chinese
indemnity. In consequence OF it their
stock of silver has deprecated in a
sum far in excess of anything that can
ever be collected from China. The
United States, France and the British
Indian Empire are 70 worst sufferers

STATE, EVENUE BILLS

If the present system Of assessing
property does not bring satisfactory
results, the Legislature that meets
Monday should provide system that
will. The last Legislature made
start in the right direction and its
successor should keep up the good
work. The duties of the Assessors
should be plainly set forth and heavy
penalties should be prescribed for fail
ure to perform them. Experience has
proved that the State Board of AS
SCISSORS, as at present constituted, is
a failure. This part of the law should
be amended and Board created with
sufficient powers to accomplish some
thing for the State. If the Legislature
takes hold of the matter in the proper
spirit, law will be passed that will
deal justly with all species of prop
erty and the assessed valuation of the
State can be doubled without injus-
tice to any corporation or individual
