WASHINGTON IN 1890.
Painted by Edward Savage.

From the original portrait, owned by
Harvard University. Canvas, twenty
five by thirty inches. Edward Savage
was born in Princeton. Massachusetts,
November 2G, 1861, and died there July
q, 1917. Originally Il goldsmith, he
turned his attention to portrait paint
ing and engraving, and produced some
very crcditable work In both depart
ments, although his paintings are Of
very unequal merit The portrait for
Harvard was begun in New York De
cember u, 1880, and finished January
9, 1870, as we learn from Washngton's
diary. The vencrated Josiah Quincy
pronounced IL "the best likeness he had
ever seen Of Washington" ana there
certainly is striking life-likeness
about il, especially in Savage'S own
fine large mczZotinto plate, for which
he first painted panel, the same size,
adapting Wrights figure and compost

panel, signed, and dated "1793," be

fellow creatures"
The origin Of Washington's birthday
as a holiday is stated as follows: On
February 22. 1888, number Cf gentle
men met in a New York tavern 10 cell
ebrate the great generals birthday.
They then agreed 10 assemble in future
on that Gay, celebrating It with odes
and toasts. Washlngton's ascendancy
shortly after 10 the Presidency gave a
new Zest 10 the annual" so that in
time 1t became general. and finally
grew into "A legal holiday" the people
demanding it from custom.
The first public celebration Of Wash
ingtOn's birthday occurred on Febru-
AIRY II, 1874. and the anticipated Occa-
sion was thus alluded 10 by the Penn
sylyania Packet Of February II, same
year:
"Wednesday last being the birthday
Of His Excellency, General Washing
ton, the same was celebrated here by
all the true friends Of American indie
pendence and constitutional liberty.
with that hilarity and manual decorum
attendant on the sons Of freedom. In
the eveningan entertainment was given
on board the East India ship in the
harbor. TO a very brilliant and respect
able company. and a discharge Of thlr-
teen cannon was fired upon the joyful
occasion"

Improved Roads in the East.

Assistant Director NJ. o. Eidridge. of
the Office of Public Road Inquiries, re-
Gently made a road inspection trip
through the States OF Maine, Massa-
chusetts and New York. In regard
to the road conditions in these States
be had the following to say in an in
terview:
Il am fully convinced from my re-
cent trip that the roads which have
been built in the East through the aid
of the States and under the direction
of highway commissioners are the best
roads in the United Sites, and are
equal. if not superior. to the best roads
in the world. This is due to the fact
that these roads have been built under
intelligent supervision, by skillful
workmen, out of the very best materi-
ais and with American -oad building
machinery; whereas most Of the roads
that l have seen in the old country
were built by hand, and have since
been maintained in the same way. In
spite OF the long drought which pre-
vailed throughout the New England
States during the spring and summer
the State roads were firm and smooth.
and although | personally inspected
over 800 miles of improved roads, 1
did not see a single one which had
raveled or which had signs of wear
from the recent dry weather. In the
southeastern part Of Massachusetts,
and along Cape Cod Bay, and in the
southern part OF Connecticut. the old
roads were composed entirely Of sand,
but in spite Of the dry weather the
State roads built on these sand foun-
dations are remarkably hard aud
smooth

A New Hatchst Story.

Professor Gallaudet. who has done so
much toward educating deaf mutes,
tells this story: One Of the professors
favorite pupils, an unusually precocious
child, was asked by his teacher II he
knew the story Of George Washington
and the cherry tree. With his fingers
the youngster repeated the tale without
break, until he came TO the point
where the elder Washington questions
his son. when Georges father asked
him who hacked his favorite cherry
tree" continued the child, moving his
signalling fingers almost as rapidly as
some persons move their tongues,
George put his hatchet in his left
hand" "Wait a moment said the
professor; chow do you know that he
took the hatchet in his left hand|
Because" answered the boy, "he
needed his right to tell his father that
he had chopped the tree"
