In 1858, however, he sold 1t for $2OO,OOO
to the present owners, the Mount vernon
Ladies' Association of the Union. This
society had been organized in 1855 by
Miss Ann Pamela Cunningham of South

$40, OOO earned in lecturing on behalf OF
the project.
The original Mount Vernon tract. be-
longing to George WaShington's half
brother, Lawrence. had comprised 2.ooO
acres. Lawrence named the estate AFTER
Admiral Vernon, a British officer whom
he had served. George Washington, after
inheriting it in 1852. enlarged its boun-
diaries until they included nearly S,OOO
acres. But by the time the estate had
descended to John Augustine Washing-
ton. 3D. it had dwindled in size. That
great-great-grand of the first Pres
ident had for the 500 900 asked of Con-
gress, offered $50 acres with the mansion.
tomb and outbuildings. At double this
price the association obtained 200 acres
and by subsequent additions they at pres
ent control 237 acres of the original estate.
The act of the Virginia legislature 1ncor-
porating the association in 1856, provides
that the association shall not nave power
to alien the said land or any part thereof;
or to create a charge thereon. or to lease
the same without the consent of the gen.
eral assembly of Virginia first had and OBJ

Virginia legislature must be had before

Whv Go TO Red2

It seems to me we make mistake In
prescribing special hours for going to
bed and for getting up. Why should
we thus gorge ourselves with slumberf
Why should we not follow the example
of the dog and take an occasional nap
when we have nothing better TO do?
Why should we go to bed when We
don't feel sleepy? Why should we not
take forty winks when inclined there
to? 1t strikes me there is too much
method and regularity about our SOM
niferous arrangements. - Ashby-Sterry

honor Of Yale course. 1t did not
necessarily indicate the highest schol-
arship, but it was voted by the gradu-
ating class to the most popular man.
The spoon man" of a class was lis
hero, according to the Hartford Cou-
rant. The other boys loved him. and
he was almost Invariably person who
Justified that affection. The list OF
spoon men" would include some OF
the most eminent OF Yale graduates.
There were nine members OF each
class selected by their classmates, and
these were known as cocks" which Is
short and English for "cochleaureati."
To one Of these nine was awarded the
spoon, and they all Joined In a public
performance called the wooden spoon
exhibition, at which the ceremony of
presentation was gone through with all
the wit that a college class could mas
ter. The last "spoon man" was Robert
