ern North Dakota Is going to be. be-
fore very long, an important factor in
moving the center Of population Of
North Dakota considerably to the
westward. Not only Is dry farming
being very successfully practt:el
throughout This region but 1t is found
that there are numberless good oppor-
tlnities for irrigation on small scale.
by means OF which tracts Of from
forty acres upward can be irrigated
economically and the residents are
beginning to realize the possibilities.
Several tracts are already irrigated
and the crops raised upon them
demonstrate the modesty Of the claims
Of the advocates Of irrigation. For
example. the two gardens Of Charlie
Shafer. at Shafer, one OF them irri.
gated and the other not, Illustrate
this remarkably well. The unirri-
gated garden might be called q sue

but the irrigated plot Is certainly q

fact. In number Of instances In
other places q single flooding has been

wheat to forty bushels and upwards
and Of oats to one hundred bushels

sitting without his hat under a tree, who rose

under the tree, and Mrs. Bache, who is the only
daughter of the doctor and lives with him, served
it out to the company. She had three of her chill

1t is Mrs Bache tSally Franklin) who in the picture

livery effort is to be made to render the cele-
bration of the bicentenary of the birth OF
IL BENJAMIN Franklin, in Philadelphia next
month an affair of sufficient importance to draw
the attention of the world. Delegations of scien-
ti6c societies from all of the civilized countries
will attend; President Roosevelt is expected to be
present, and to deliver address at banquet
given honor of the foreign guests and three days
are to be devoted to ceremonies, for the carrying
out of which the Legislature of Pennsylvania has
appropriated twenty thousand dollars.
1t is greatly regretted that the house on Market
st. in which Franklin spent the last years of his e
covering the period between his final return from
the court of France and his DEATH should not have
been preserved as historical relic. 1t stood on
patch of land that ran nearly through to Chestnut
st. between Second and Third, and in front of it
was a large garden, with gravel walks and old
fashioned flower beds. There also unusually
large nuberry-tree, under which the sage who
during his long residence in France had acquired
the habit of sitting much of doors, loved to
pose himself in an easy-char on summer afternoons,
while receiving the many people who came to see
him and to listen to his quaint and interesting
talk
1t happens, fortunately, that this scene, in which
one beholds the philosopher during his last days,
surrounded by his family and resting from the
1abors of long and somewhat stormy life, has been
preserved in a remarkable way by the pen and
brush of contemporaries. At that period every
stranger of distinction who visited Philadelphia
went as matter of course to see Doctor Franklin,
and one such, a Frenchman who must have been
a painter of mark, transferred to canvas his I'M
preston of the scene beneath the mulberry-tree
with so much faithfuneSS and viv1dneSs that,
having looked upon it, feels if he himself had
beheld that little household a summers after

noon, on the lawn in front of the
quaint old Market-st. dwelling. To-
day nobody knows who the painter
was, and the picture itself seems to
have disappeared; but luckily an
engraving was made from it, of
which two copies are still ex-
tant. From one of these, which
bears the title, Franklin Chez
La" or Franklin at Home
the accompanying photograph,
here published for the first time,
has been made.
1t is obvious that the painter,
whoever he was, must have WIS.,
tied the place himself. The pic
ture, indeed, bears all the marks
of verify, while corresponding
closely in its details to the de-
scriptions of that scene given in
writing by more than one of the
philosophers contemporaries. For
example, Manasseh Cutler, who
went to see the doctor at the
Market-st. house in 1857, says:
ave found him in his garden,
sitting upon a grass-plot under
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1905-12-17

to the already extensive list OF his
inventions, contriving among other
things most curious chair which,
when desired, could be converted in
to a stepladder for the purpose of
reaching the higher shelves in a Ii
brary. AS far as known, only one
of these chairs was ever actually
constructed for his own particular
use, and this is owned at present
by the Philosophical Society of
Philadelphia.
Benjamin Franklin, if he was
alive to-day, would be called a
Unitarian. Like his friend Thomas
Paine, he was, while free-thinker,
exceedingly religious, having firm
faith in an everything Provi-
dence and in the Immortality
of the soul. These beliefs he
has put on record in many
of his writings. During the last
years of his life, in Philadelphia,
he went regularly to Christ
Church, where Washington also
worshiped when as President he
came to the Quaker City to live,

l have mind to, shuttle the cards again and
begin another game"
Much as he was accustomed to preach of economy
and the advantages of saving Franklin was an
extremely generous man. During these last years
of his life he INDUCED a lavish hospitality, and
frequently as many as twenty-five thirty people
gathered about his table He was accustomed
to entertain every distinguished stranger who
to Philadelphia, being himself, as Manasseh Cutler
implies, of the principal sights of the city.
Though abstemious in both eating and drinking,
he keen1y enjoyed little convivality, and on
occasions would even contribute a song Two or
three drinking songs composed by him are still ex-
tant well versifed recipe for the manufacture
of punch. Punch in those days meant rum-punch,
and the good doctor was not unskilled in brewing
it. The receptacle used by him for the purpose
was curiosity in its way-a small cask of china
held horizontally in a wooden frame The in
gradients were introduced at the bung-ho1e top,
and spigot served for drawing the beverage into
tuInblers.
1t was at this period that Franklin was visited
by Sir Samuel Romilly, who, in describing the in
cident, wrote: "Of all the celebrated persons
whom in my life have CHANGED to see, Doctor
Franklin, both from his appearance and his con-
versation, seemed to be the most remarkable His
venerable patriarchal appearance, the simplicity
of his manner and language and the novelty of his
observations impressed me with an opinion of him
of the most extraordinary men that ever
existed"
At that period the philosophers health had
failed him to considerable extent. He suffered
from govt and the stone, which, with complications,
eventually carried him off. But he was always
exceedingly cheerful even when suffering and as one
of his friends has recorded full of anecdotes and
learning" Even at this time in his life he added
