The Festival of LIBERTY.

The celebration of the anniversary of
the birth of George Washington is the
festival of liberty. Every true Ameri-
cans heart will glow with pride in the
afectionate remembrance of the life and
services of him to whom has been given
the ennobling title, 1.-The Father of His
Country" The distinguished career of
Washington as patriot, soldier. statesman
and citizen Is familiar to every school
boy and girl in the land. and nowhere

observed than in the public schools,
where lessons are drawn from his life
and where his deeds and the glory of the
nation he helped to create are celebrated
III song and story.
Some of the finest qualities of Wash
ingt"n's mind have been but dimly seen
IN the iuster of his fame as a soldier and
statesman. Washington was man In
whom the artistic instinct was splendid
y developed. 1t was he who selected
the site of the national capitol, and with
the assistance of the French engineer,
Enfant, made the original surveys for
the system of noble avenues radiating
from the capitol building us a center.
Washington builded for the future when
he planned the capitol. He probably be-
iieved that some day the seat of govern
ment of the republic would be city of
l,oOO.OO people, and on this theory he
provided for ample room for this deyel-
opment.
The selection of Mount Vernon for his
home was another lofty conception of his
artistic mind. ln all the world there Ia

mansion was modest yet stately home,

palace of royalty could ever hope to at.

and since Mount Vernon has been a
shrine which lovers of liberty delight to
visit. Located OH the brow of a noble
hill. surrounded by majestic trees, the
waves of the Potomac gliding by, with
vistas of hill and dale and glen, Mount
Vernon was fitting place of residence
for the first citizen of the republic.
The figure of Washington stands as
the symbol of all that is good and digni-
fled and honorable in human character.
His life and example will continue to
inspire in the hearts of humanity every
where the aspirations of liberty and the
love of Justice.

Growth of Washineton's Fame

Since George Washington died the
changes i'll the externals of civilization
have been so marked that 1t is hard
to comprehend what comparatively
short historic epoch this covers.
During his last years Washington was
considered to be the richest man In the
United States, but the total sum of his
possessions would not entitle him to a
place among any one of our modern mill
ionaires. He owned farms and cult
waited them in the highest style of the
agriculture of his time. but there are hun
dreds of comparatively unknown men in
the West who not only possess larger
farms but keep them more easily under
cultivation by means of appliances of
which Washington never dreamed. No
modern architect would think of Offering
anything like Washington's villa" at
Mount Vernon to modern wealthy buy
er. The Presidents overland journeys
were accomplished in coaches. Perhaps,
however, there could be no more signif-
cant indication of the alteration that
science and civilization have worked than
the manner of the first Presidents death.
There is little doubt that the excessive
bleeding resorted to in his last illness
hastened his death, possibly many years
before the natural limit. A physician
who should be guilty of similar malprac-
tice now would find himself the.object of
prompt and vigorous prosecution in the
courts.
None of these material changes in en-
vironment. however, seem to have set
the image of Washington any further
away. That figure is as near and clear
to the people of to-day as is Lincoln's.
In fact, the lapse of time has brought a
better understanding of the man and a
more intense admiration for his very real
greatness If there had even ever been
any doubt as to whether Washington's
fame was Of the Homeric kind, that in
creases with age. it was erased long be,

EVOLUTION OF THE FLOWERS.


They Become sophisticated, nut Lose
None of Their Charm.
1t Is far call, indeed. from the wild
rose to the American beauty; from the
dainty. old-fashioned .'pinks" to the
Lawson and the enchantress carna-
tons; from the pretty little china asters
Of our grandmothers' days to the SUI
perb chrysanthemums which rear their
magnificent mops as trophies of the
florists art.
There are really very few things in
use III the world to-day which have not
been materially changed by the forces
of methodical development. Civilized
men and women themselves are the
best examples of this all-pervading in
fluence, comments the Kansas City
Star. The beasts of burden and the
creatures which supply the world with
animal food are remotely different
from what they We're in the beginning.
The work Of breeding and training has
added beauty and usefulness to the
birds Of the air and the beasts of the
field. and the same upward tendency Is
noted In these latter days in the flow
ers which gladden. life with their love
illness and which admonish man per-
petually of. his frailty.
Pleasant it is TO know what may be
called the sophistication Of flowers has
robbed them of not whit of their ma
tive charm. There is, in the sensuous
odor of the American beauty, the mag
ic to revive In any mind attuned to the
heart of nature sweet memories of tam
gled vines and wild roses, creeping and
blooming along country roads. The
scent OF rich and full carnation will
call up in a moment tender recollec-
lions of borders of spicy little pinks
tended by loving hands that have been
folded for years in dreamless repose.
In the regal chrysanthemum is seen
the amazing product of brave little as
tiers which came to embellish the ys,or-
yard with the first chill of autumn and
after all of the summer blooms had
persisted.
Flowers. thank heaven, are beyond
the reach of affectation. They may
be rendered. by careful culture, more
radiant, more prodigal of beauty and
fragrance. more replete with the power
to brighten the hour of gladness and
to lend comfort to times of sadness
and affiiction, but they can be spoiled
or deteriorated never. AS long as the
world abides flowers will exhale their
beneficent fragrance for all, and will
never tire Of the riot of beauty which
they have provided since the morning
stars sang together for the dedication
of man.

The overwhelming experience Of the
past dozen years makes it almost un-
necessary to urge, on the ground of
pecuniary returns. the adoption of
measures against insects. To en-
plastic the value of such practice 1t
is only necessary to call attention to
the fact that the loss to orchard, gar
den, and farm crops frequently
amounts to from 10 to 10 per cent of
the entire product, and innumerable
instances could be pointed out where
such loss has been sustained year after
year, while now, by the adoption of
remedial measures, large yields are
regularly secured with an Insignificant
expenditure for treatment. 1t has been
established that in the case Of the APP
pie crop spraying will protect from
80 to 10 per cent of the fruit which
would otherwise be wormy, and that
in actual marketing experience the
price has been enhanced from 81 to
81. 80 per barrel. and this at cost of
and material This is especially true
of regions where the codling moth has
but one fail brood annually. In the
case of one orchard in Virginia, only
one-third of which was sprayed, the
result was an increase in the yield of
sound fruit in the portion treated Of
nearly so per cent and an increase of
the value of this fruit over the rest
of 100 per cent. The loss from not
having treated the other two-thirds
was estimated at $500. The saving
to the plum crap and other small
fruits frequently amounts to the Sc.
curing of a perfect crop where other

could be secured.--United States De-

The walls of the house are of stone. two

first floor. with its six rooms in addition
to the kitchen. The ceilings are low,
with heavy timbers of hewn wood. which
support the floors of the upper rooms.

sloping roof is sustained by long timbers

what it was when Gen. and Mrs. Wash
