Washington's Example Complete.

The life of our Washington cannot
suffer by comparison with those of
other countries who have been most
celebrated and exalted by fame. The
attributes and decorations of royalty
could only have served to eclipse the
majesty of those virtues which made
him from being a modest citizen a
more resplendent luminary. Misfor-
tune, had he lived, could hereafter
have sullied his glory only with those
superficial minds who, believing that
characters and actions are marked
by success alone, rarely deserve to en-
joy it. Malice could never blast his
honor, and envy made him singular
exception to her universal rule. For
himself he had lived long enough for
life and glory. For his fellow citi-
zens, If their prayers could have been
answered, he would have been i'm
mortal. His example is now COM
plete, and 1t will teach wisdom and
virtue to magistrates, citizens and
men, not only in the present age, but
in all future generations, as long as
our history shall be read. - John
Adams.

claim the tribute of patriotism who
should labor to subvert those pillars
of human happiness, these firmest
props of the duties of men and citi-
zens. The mere politician, equally
with the pious man, ought to respect
and to cherish them. A volume could
not trace all their connections with
private and public felicity. Let it

The Words OF Washington.
(Selected From the Speeches of
George Washington.)

The battlefield should be the last
resource of nations.
There is a natural and necessary
progression from the extreme of an
archy to the extreme of tyranny, and
arbitrary power is most easily estab-
lished on the ruins of liberty abused
to Righteousness.
The basis of our political systems
Is the right of the people to make
and to alter their constitutions of
government. But the constitution
which at any time exists, till changed
by an explicit and authentic act of
the whole people, is sacredly obliga-
tory upon all.
1t is among the evils, and perhaps
not the smallest, of democratical
governments, that the people must
feel before they can see. When this
happens, they are aroused to action;
hence it is that those kinds of gov
ernment are so slow.
Observe good faith and justice to-
ward all nations, and cultivate peace
and harmony with ALL religion and
morality enjoin this conduct, and can
it be that good policy does not equal
ly enjoin 1t? 1t will be worthy of
free, enlightened, and at no distant
period, great nation, to give to
mankind the magnanimous, and the
novel example of people always
guided by unexcelled justice and be-
nevolence.
Fully apprised of the influence
which sound learning has on religion
and manners, on government, liberty
and law, / shall only lament my want
of abilities to make 1t still more ex-
tensive.
Lenity will operate with greater
force, in some instances, than rigor;
1t is, therefore, my first wish to have
my whole conduct distinguished by 1t.

danger of parties in the State; let

government gives force to public
opinion, it is essential that public
opinion should be enlightened.
Religion is as necessary to reason
as reason is to religion; one cannot
exist without the other; a reasoning
being would lose his reason in at
tempting to account for the great
phenomena of nature had he not
supreme being to refer to, and well
has it been said that If there had no
God mankind would have been
obliged to imagine one.

sometimes necessary, even where at

but when the evils which may be and
must result from it exceed those in

Javelle water will take out stains
from linen and cotton. Take one
pound of salsoda and five cents worth
of chloride of lime; put them in an
earthen bowl and turn over them two
quarts of boiling hot, soft water; rain
water is the best. Let it settle, then

CLEAN AND RESTORE vELvETs.

Light velvets are cleaned by gently
rubbing with a flannel previously
dipped in kerosene, or il the material
be soiled in spots only, by rubbing
with little butter, when the wrong
side requires drawing over hot iron
in order to raise the pile, or they may
be cleaned by brushing with cornmeal
until the soil is removed.
Black and colored velvet, If not
dirty, but only creased, is freshened
by holding wrong side down close to
but not on hot fiat iron on which
has first been placed damp cloth,
the steam eradicatine the creases and

When 1t has been steamed all over
remove the wet cloth and draw the
velvet on the wrong side over the iron
to dry it. To clean mud-spotted
black velvet solution of equal parts
Of spirits of wine, ox-gall and water
will be found efficacious.
The method employed to clean
light and dark velveteen is very
simple one. A lather of white soap is
made, into which the velveteen is
dipped, then placed on board or ta-
BILE and scrubbed the way of the pile
with a clean nail brush until all the
dirt has been removed, when it is
rinsed in clean, cold water, but not
squeezed or wrung, as this would
spoil the pile.
1t is dried in the air, and some-
times the back is drawn over a hot
iron, but this is not absolutely neces-
sary.
To clean and brighten light satins
chloroform or benzine may be used.

THE HAIR PILLOW.

Few people know the comfort in
summer of hair pillow. Who would
think of sleeping upon feather bed
in August? And yet many of us bury
our heads in large, soft, feathery pill
lows.
Suppose you buy dear little hair
pillow - twenty by fifteen inches
and make for it simple slip of linen.

THE STOCKING DARNER.

The mother who groans over the
destructiveness of her young son on
the knees of his stockings should
adopt the plan of one ingenious moth
er who has learned how to make
stockings last twice as long.
In buying she selects stockings as
long as they can be bought, and be-
fore wearing runs a fiat tuck about
the ankle just below the shoe top
where it will not rub in walking.
When the knees of her sons stock
ings become hopelessly darned the
tuck is ripped and the worn part
raised so that it slips under the short
trousers while a whole knee takes its
place.-New York Herald.

there, cared for byloving and reverent

And Rocky Hill has done all that.
1T was long after the great events
of the war. Battles had been fought,
some won, some lost. The red coats
had been driven hither and yon, and
two years before, down at Yorktown,
Lord CORVALLIS had laid down his
arms and surrendered to the Ameri-
can Army.
"All the beautiful country about
Princeton was decked in its autumn
coloring, trees in scarlet and gold,
just as you'd find them next fall IT,
you journey thither, and the autumn
posies were ablaze in the fields and
meadows. The real contest had been
over for long time, and many Off
GERS and soldiers were off on furiough.
Across the sea the peace treaty had
been signed. On October IS, 1888,
only one day less than two years after
that memorable October 10, 1881,
when CORVALLIS laid down his arms,
Congress issued proclamation dis
charging the soldiers from further
service. Thus the American Army
was disbanded.
Washington was located at the
mansion of Judge Berrien, on Rocky
Hill, Congress being in session at
Princeton. The Commander-in-C Chief
held many conferences with the men,
bers of Congress, and it was quite es-
sential that he should be near at

WashingtOn's POise,

The moderation of his desires and
the strength of his judgment enabled
him to calculate correctly that the
right path to that glory which never
dies is to use power for the support
of the laws and the liberties of our
country, not for its destruction, and
his fame will, accordingly, survive
the wreck of everything now living.

DAN KELLEY WILL BE
AT SEATTLE FIELD MEET

Seattle, July 2.-Dan Kelly Is moi
down yet In spite Of the report thai
the famous red-haired oregon sprinter
was laid up with a sprained ankle
and would not be able to race again,
he has appeared once more ready for
action, entering with the Multnomah
club in the giant A. A. U. meet at the
stadium Of the Alaska Yukon Pacific
exposition in August.
Dan has announced that he will en-
ter the broad jump IN this event,
whatever the eastern critics may say
about his sprinting ability he is ad-
mitted to be one Of the top-notchers
Of America. He easily won first place
in the broad" in the jamestown
meet and took second in the London
Olympic games last year.
The sporting world would like to see
Dan Kelly try the spring again On a
northwest field Kelly could be ex-
pected to regain some of his laurels
he lost in the east.
Running the hundred yard dash at
Spokane in 9 3-5 seconds, or the
worlds record time, Kelly startled the
world. The eastern hammers began
their anvil chorus but nevertheless
Dan was allowed the worlds record !
in the event. When he went east he
was placed in a hard position On |
the one hand he had the reputation |
which it was practically impossible for
any human being to maintain. He was !
put up against the best men in the |
world on straight track. Kelly fell
down in his heat at the jamestown ex-
position and since then he has never
run again. He may be persuaded to
-ace at Seattle.
