The Eagle has this story from a re-
liable business man Of Bryan:
Yesterday morning student at
villa Maria Ursuline Academy was
standing under one OF the outrageous
oaks on the lawn. thinking Of the
Bryan College trolley line and hoping
that the system would be extended 80
q to include Allen Academy and villa
Maria. While thus engaged she was
startled by the voice Of a mocking
bird hidden among the boughs over
her head. articulating In clear tone:
Hail! hail! hail, Trolley! trolley!
trolley" But still more wonderful.
At this moment a white waif fIuttered
down and fell at her feet. Picking It
up she found Il to be bit OF paper
on which was inscribed some dim
characters. 80 peculiar that they
might have been penned by elves.
Aided by the thoughts which preoccu-
pied her mind and the message Of the
mocking bird. she decIphered the le-
gend. transIating II into the words:
Hall. Trolley"
II was an eerie experience but glad
some withaI and left in her mind the
conviction that the trolley line viii
be a reality In the near future and
that II win come 10 villa Maria. II
certainly ought to do 40.

THE ROCKING CHAIR.

tBy Mrs. Alex Mcveigh Miller.)
Rocking. rocking. rocking.
The maiden flirts her fan.
Clicking her tiny boot-heels.
Smiles on the creature man;
Swish' go the flutt'ring ribbons.
Alas. there was never snare
More dangerous spread for Cupid
Than a girl in rocking chair.
Rocking. rocking. rocking.
Jewels agleam on her hands.
Shifting lights on her hair.
Shining like golden strands.
With It's comfort and its charm
Nothing else can compare.
Oh. how could a woman live
Without her rockingham?
Rocking, rocking. rocking.
The wife and mother sings
To the baby on her knee.
Little angel without wings'
And the husband smiles to see
Both so peaceful and so fair.
Waiting for his evening coming.
In the coy rockingham.
Rocking. rocking. rocking.
The woman old and gray.
Husband dead so long ago,
Children grown and gone away.
Reads her Bible, sadly sings
Little tunes Of Heaven so fair;
Waiting tin her time shall come
In the dear old rocking-chaIr.

Van Rensselaer,, wife of the Patron of

Sophia Chew and many others, all in
the wide-skirted costume of the day,
variegated in color as the hues of the
rainbow. They wore powder and
patches and the hair dressed high in
the way that gives such charm to the
old colonial portraits that have come
down to US.
The gentlemen who attended were
no less brilliantly attired than the
ladies, for the coat of funereal broad
cloth with the ugly trousers had not
come into vogue. They wore coats
of blue, black, light brown, green or
crimson velvet. Thomas Jefferson,
1t is recorded, had a strong liking
for coats Of scarlet velvet, and sky
blue knee breeches. The small
clothes were of satin, white, black
and brown being the favorite colors
of the day. The knee-breeches
buckled at the knee, most of the
buckles being of precious metal and
set with brilliants. White silk stock
ings were worn with low shoes, gar
nished with gold or silver buckles.
They wore their hair powdered and
dubbed" at the back. Most Of them
wore small silver-hilted court swords.
The diplomats appeared in the heav-
lily embroidered court costumes of
their, respective countries, while the
officers of the little standing army
appeared in their natty buff and blue.

ors came in, they formed in a circle
around the room. At quarter past
three the door was closed and the
circle formed for that day. He then
began on the right, and spoke to each
visitor, calling him by name, and ex-
changing few words with him.
When he had completed his circuit.
he resumed his first position, and the
visitors approached him in succession,
bowed and retired. BY four o'clock
the ceremony was over"
When Washington drove out 1t was
in magnificent carriage painted yell
low, with gilt decorations, and with
little cupids on the panels. On the
centre Of the door was the Washing
ton coat of arms. Four cream col
ored horses obeyed the guiding hand
of the colored driver, who was
dressed in livery of the Washington
colors, trimmed with much gold
braid. The picture given in this is
sue shows the coach as it appeared
when brought out about fifty years
after Washington's death.
Besides receptions, there were
many formal dinners given by the
President and his wife and other en-
tertainments. While in New York
both were fond of taking trips for a
day or two over on to Long Island,
through Flatbush, Hampstead and
Flushing, or up the Hudson, into
Westchester County, to be free for
time from the cares of their position.
Both Washington and his wife were
regular in their church attendance.
They had pew in old st. Paul's
Episcopal Church, which still stands
on Broadway. Members of his staff
usually accompanied the President to
and from church. When they went
to Philadelphia their social life con-
tinued on much the same lines as be-
fore. Even after Washington's re-
tirement from the presidency a con-
slant stream of visitors to Mount Yer
non kept him in touch with all the
States and with Europe. Here he
led the life of a dignified country
gentleman, but never losing interest

they left. On these occasions he
wore a light-colored coat and fancy
waistcoat, and black small-clothes,
md appeared without sword.
Refreshments of plum cake, coffee
and tea were always served under the
direction of Fraunces, who had
charge of the culinary department Of
the Washington household. When
Mrs. Washington held an afternoon
levee, few of the guests were in
vited to remain to the family dinner,
which was served by Fraunces, gor-
geous in livery, and with his hair as
thickly powdered as that of any of
the guests.
AT Washington's own levee, which
occurred on Tuesday afternoons, the
President dressed in "a black velvet
coat and breeches, his hair in full
dress, powdered and gathered behind
in silk bag, yellow gloves, and hold
ing a cooked hat with cockade on
it, and the edge adorned with black
feather about an inch deep. He
wore knee and shoe buckles, and
long sword with finely wrought and
polished steel hilt; the coat worn
over the blade, the scabbard of pol
ished leather"
William Sullivan, who attended
many of these receptions, has left us
a graphic pen picture of one of them.
"At three o'clock, or at any time
within a quarter of an hour after
ward, the visitor was conducted to
the dining room, from which all seats
had been removed for the time. On
entering, he saw Washington, who
stood always in front of the fireplace,
with his face toward the door of en-
trance. The visitor was conducted
to him, and he required to have the
name so distinctly pronounced that
he could hear it. He had the very
uncommon faculty OF. associating a

tation was not to be accompanied
with shaking hands. The ceremony
never occurred in these visits, even
with his most near friends, that no

ORCHARD FERTILITY.

When orchards are planted exclu-
sively for commercial purposes and
not merely to furnish a family sup
ply, the matter of fertility is usually
looked after in some systematic way;
but the ordinary farm orchard is of
ten completely starved out by the
raising of regular grain crops among
the trees such as corn, wheat and
oats. This is a ruinous custom, for
the combined drain of both trees and
crops quickly exhausts the soil to a
point where it is impossible for the
trees to bear good fruit The only
way to correct such condition is
to provide fertilizers that will fur
nish all the elements of plant food
and to reserve the orchard exclusive
ly for the use of the trees.-Farm.

accustomed to command, and to the
best social life of the colonies. His
wife was 6 woman Of fine presence,
of quiet dignity, and with full con-
seriousness of all the demands of her
position as the first lady OF the land.
While neither attempted an extrava-
CANT style of living, they both felt
that they stood as the representatives
of the nation to the outer world, and
when they received distinguished for
eigners and diplomats, their recep-
tions, in both the temporary capitals
of New York and Philadelphia, were
ordered on much the same lines as
court receptions abroad.
Sometimes. on great occasions, the
President and Mrs. Washington re-
ceived together, but both had sep
arate levee days, when they received
the people of the official world and
also the gentry Of the State.
Lady Washington received on Fri
day evenings. The guests came early
and departed by nine. She was fifty
seven when she came to New York,
and this is the age she appears in the
picture Of Lady Washington's Recep-
ton. The portrait by Robert Edge
Pine was painted about this time.
The one by Stuart, which is the most
popular of her portraits, and has been
reproduced so often, was painted
about ten years later.
The Washingtons hired one of the
best colonial houses in New York,
and the gentry of the city crowded to
her first Eat home" If we give it the
modern name. Footmen in the Wash
ington livery stood at the curb to
open the doors of the gaily painted
coaches, while others stood in the
hall and announced the names of the
guests. Every one, on entering, adj

room, where the hostess stood
dressed in brocade-flowered silk, her
hair powdered and fastened with Jew
eled pins. After conversing a few
moments, the guests would step to
the right or left to make room for
Others, always, until some distance
away, keeping the face turned partly
in Lady Washington's direction. A
brilliant assembly it was after the
greater part of the company had
arrived. There was Mrs. George Gin

of New York; Lady Stirling, wife of

SPRAYING AN INSURANCE.

A farmer may have good crop of
fruit from an unsprayed orchard, but
the one who sprays has placed a
form on insurance on the home APP
pie supply for the family during the
winter. This is not saying that there
cannot be a successful crop without
spraying, for there are often orch
ards that give good yields which have
never been sprayed. But when this
case occurs just turn and look at the
trees and crop in the sprayed orchard.
Spraying prevents a failure of the
entire crop of apples. 1t gives the
fruit better color, increases the size
OF the fruit and also that of the en-
tire crop. 1t will be said by the far
mer who uses the spray pump in
his orchard and the apples m his sit
ting room during the winter, that
the apples from his sprayed orchard
have better keeping qualities and
richer favor that the ones from his
neighbours unsprayed orchard. -Agri-

that your latter days may be as pros
porous and happy as your former

Washington said, Il can not come to
