Martha Washington.

Gaillard Hunts account of "A
Christmas at Mount Vernon" in the
Christmas Century" - the first
Christmas of General Washington's
final Homecoming to Mount Vernon
has this interesting description Of
Mrs. Washington:
] am afraid the modern woman Of
advanced ideas cannot approve Of
her. She went north to join the
troops when they were in safe
place for the winter and when her
husband told her to come; she went
south again when the campaign OPP
ened in the spring. She heard many
cannon-shots in the distance, but sne
had no ambition to share her hus-
bands dangers, If he did not wish it.
She was loyal patriot, and hated
the British. She held, in fact, the
same views as her husband, and held
them because he held them. She
thought he was the greatest man in
the world-as, indeed, he was-and
that the life of the life of the wife Of
a Virginia planter was the best life a
woman could lead. She lost no sleeI
in studying the problems which were
vexing philosophers and statesmen
but went comfortably to bed at night
thinking Of the last invoice of clothes
arrived from England, or what she
would have for dinner on the follow
ing day.
Her character was high, her intel
Hgence sound, and her temper mas
terful. Nobody at Mount Vernon dis
puted her sway, nobody laughed d
her, and everybody held her judg
ment in respect; yet she never mad
bright or witty remark, and hardl,
ever read book, except her Bible
and a few books of religious devo
ton. She knew all about the man
agement of large household, coul
play upon the spinnet or harpsichord
and could work in worsted in al
sorts of stitches, but of book educa
ton she had very little. How coul
she have much, when she was count
ed a woman at the age of fifteen, an
had charge of a household and hus
band at seventeen? She was fully a
well educated as other ladies of he
day, and although in writing she sen
her love to "all enquireing friends
.and hope "billy's recovery would b
a lasting wone," she was none tn
less lady and an ornament to &c
ciety.

Cutting the Life-Rope.

John B. Cough says: ION the ISL

habitants earn precarious liveli-
hood by robbing birds of their eggs
To get at their nests, men are let
down by rope from a cliff one
thousand feet high, and when they
are down perhaps five hundred feet
the men at the top make the rope
fast. Each man has a signal-cord
Then, as they hang out clear of the
cliff, they work themselves toward
it with a swinging motion. BY and

rock or root or shrub, and they hang

Heart-Disease in Children.

Diseases of the heart are generally
supposed to be the fate of adults and
not of children, and this is largely
true, although there are exceptions
to the rule, If rule it can be called.
These exceptions are generally the
result of the acute infectious disor-
ders in childhood, such as scarlet
fever. An attack of rheumatic fever
in childhood Is almost certain to af-
feet the heart, but heart weakness
may be the sequel to any facilitating
disease.
The symptoms of heart trouble in
children are very much the same as
in a,luIts. There may be a feeling
of distress round the heart, or even
OF actual pain. There will almost
certainly be rapid pulse and short
ness of breath on exertion, accom-
panied by great sensations of fatigue
The sufferer is subject to attacks Of
the "blpes," small or capricious ap

and terror with a rapidly beating

lis often an accompaniment of /;
damaged heart.
In these cases, on placing the ca,
to the region of the heart a distinc
blowing sound or "murmur" will b,
heard, and this is proof that thu
valves are not doing their worl
properly.
Children often outgrow these val
vular affections of the heart, and tn
danger with them is not so much II
the immediate present, as in the flu
ture. There is danger that the hear
may become so far damaged that
will meet badly the demands mad

In the treatment of this condition
rest is of the greatest importance

His Last Request.

The affable Captain Dugge, of the
Hamburg-American liner Prince Os-

"Sea-sickness, SIR" said the cap

more atrocious than yours. I once
carried Philadelphia who suffered

How it is i'm Railroad Office.

The general freight agent of a
large railroad says of his clerks:
among the 200 clerks in my
Office, thirty-two are cigarette smok-
ers. Eighty-five per cent of the mis-
takes occurring in this office are
made by the thirty-two. The cigar
cite smokers average two days of
