SATURDAY EVENING. FEB. %, 1908
WAsHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY.

The enthusiasm of old Alexandra
wss at It's highest pitch today, almost
every resident of the city, old aud young
alike, entering into the spirit ofs holt
day that always appeals to those native
and to the manner born. Thousands
from the surrounding country, Wash
ipgton and other places have We'd with
Alexandrisns in paying respect to the
memory of George Wsshington-the
first in war, first in peace and who
ehould ever be first in the heart OF every
citizen Of the country.
The twenty.second of February has
for over a century been peculiarly
gala day in Alexandra, and there are
MANY reasons why it should be, as the
illustrious man whose birth is celebrated
IN that day was virtually an Alezan-
driau. He manifested great interest In
the little town and divided his attention
with it and bis quite home on the banks
Of the Potomac. He ives, when not en-;
crossed in official life, in one of the two
nlaess. Ia colonial days and subsequent
thereto be could be found in Christ
Church on Sundays aud at other times
in what is now known as Alexandria
Washington Lodge Of Mssons. Before
the Declaration of Independence ne
was a familiar figure on our streets and
in our market house where he was won't
to discuss the Issues which brought on
the revolutionary war.
A month ago the anniversary OF 'he
birth of another great Virginian was
appropriately celebrated in Alexandrls'
It was observed at the time that as the
wears come and go it is extremely diff
cult to say anything concerning his
genius and virture that has not substan-
eially been uttered by one of the many
euloeisls Wbo has spoken of his worth.
The same may be said concerning George
Washington.
The United States is far advanced
in it's one hundred and thirty-second
year. Many truly illustrious men have
mt times appeared in the country since
the scenes at Yorktown, but no matter
how many have been in the conStela-
ton, the lusire of Washington has
never been overshsdowed by any Of
them. He will ever stand head and
shoulders above them all.
Pietares Of the Father of His Country
have been in evidence everywhere in
The city today. They hsve ranged in
sizs from vigue.tes on bnttons 10 life
eizs crayons aud portraits, and when the
shades of evening shall fall he will be
docking doVn from the walls OF Alex
andria-WashipglOn Lodge upon noctur-
nal scenes which will be enacted in honor
of the birth Of Its illustrious Past Master
who long since passed into the Ssnctum
Sanctorum of the Grand Master Of the
Universe.
The Regents at Mount Vernon are
keeping his grave green and the George
Washington Birthday Association and
all other Alexandrians are equally de-
termined to keep his memory sacred.
The pageant today has been in keep
log with those of former years. Thou
sands OF persons have visited the city
for the purpose of joining in the ftstiv-
tiles and there has been JOY in the air
which will long be remembered.

-Cuticura Invaluable.

"My brother had eczema three diff
ferent summers. Each summer it came
out between his shoulders and down
his back, and he said his suffering
was terrible. When it came on the
third summer, he bought box of
Cuticura Ointment and gave 1t a faith
full trial. Soon he began to feel better
and he cured himself entirely of &C.
zema with Cuticura. A lady in In
diana heard of how my daughter,
Mrs. Miller had cured her little son
of terrible eczema by the Cuticura
Remedies. This lady's little one had
the eczema so badly that they thought
they would lose it, She used Cuti-

PEACHES.

Peaches are raised and nurtured in
all parts of the country, but it is gen.
orally agreed that the most tempting
kind comes from the blue grass re-
gion Of Kentucky.
California peaches are used largely
by easterners. They are soft and ten
der to the touch. rather large and
nowery, and are very sweet.
The New England peach is often
hard and sour. Some varieties, how
ever, have a splendid flavor. The best
preserved peaches come from New
England.
The New York peach is always Of
the cling-stone variety. 1t is almost
impossible to separate the peach from
the stone.
Our annual crop of peaches, while
very expensive to raise (and constant
ly growing more so), gives employ
ment to thousands of men, who labor
night and day to keep the peaches up
to the standard.
The points of peach are not under
stood by all. Those who are interest
ed in their culture should carefully
observe the following rules:
Peaches should be handled with
gloves.
They should never be picked when
green, but only when they begin to
look good enough to eat.
Each peach should be we'll wrapped
Great care, however, should be taken
not to squeeze too hard. The pressure
should be uniform.
Change the variety from time to
time, and you will be surprised at the
results. Almost any one variety of
peace gets tiresome if INDUCED in too
long.
Peaches should be kept away from
a glaring light. When testing them,
turn down the gas.-Success Maga-
zine.

TAFTS ANCESTRAL HOME.

Mr.. Taft's ancestors were among
the founders of Jamaica and Town
send, VT, settling there just before
the Revolutionary war, and there runs
tradition from among them that
the sound of the cannonading at the
battle of Bunker Hill was distinctly
heard there, says a New York paper
This seems a pretty large story, for
Jamaica and Townsend must be dis
tant nearly 100 miles in a bee line.
Yet Arago the French physicist of the
early 18th century, established the fact
that the cannon Of that time could be
heard at a distance of 80 to 1925 miles.
Under favorable atmospheric con-
dltions it is quite possible that the
pioneer people on the Vermont hills
above the Connecticut valley heard
the sound of the cannon Of the Brit
ish ships borne on the morning air Of
June II. 1775.

SAME OLD FOURTH:

The Fourth of July like the Bible,
never changes. It is one of the fixed
institutional phases of American ma
tional life. No matter what else may
change, the sentiment behind the
Fourth Of July, the patriotic fervor of
the day is perpetually the same.
It IS strange to think that the coun-
try has entirely outgrown its colonial
attributes. Nothing Of that period
exists today. All the material feat
ures Of the country have been COM
pletely revolutionized. Religion, pol
itics, industrial methods, science, ed
ucational ideals-all have been turn
ed inside out time and time again.
And yet through all these mental
and physical vlcissitudes, through all
these revolutionary paroxysms in all
these upheavals mental avalanches
and brain storms, under American
national life and back Of it and
through the fabric Of It all, permeates
that same old patriotic sentiment
which gave voice and enthusiasm to
the first Fourth Of July celebra-
ton.
The nation can never grow away
from it. 1t will always find a voice
and a place in the front rank Of every
American procession.
