there are scores of members of the Metropolitan

pay twice or thrice the Metropolitan's initiation

Every Monday night is called social night" at

at all times, but on Monday evening the members

the world. They find out what the guest likes to
talk about and then some one who knows the sub

world subjects upon which you cannot get an
expert opinion in the Cosmos club.
The members, of course, have their hobbies
and they ride them. In one corner of a room there
will be an astronomical group, and there will be
another corner with fish group and another cor
with bird group and another corner with, it
may be, mushroom group. 1t isn't all science,
however, in the Cosmos club. The members play
billiards and pool and bridge, and they have fine

Few of the many curious literary
relics which have come under the
hammer recently have been OF greater
interest than the original probate OF
the will of Izaak Walton. The will,
which is dated August 5, 1888. is pro-

ton. The body was removed from the base of
the oak about Is years ago. 1t never should have
been removed.
1t is said that Washington selected the place
where his body now lies and left instructions
that day the change of sepulcher should be
made The oak which guarded the first grave
must have been standing for three centuries.
The view from the place is inspiring enough to
enkindle the eyes of dead man. The view from
the tomb is fine in it's way, but it is moth
ing to the grand sweep Of river, hilltops and for
ests which moves before the eye from the place
where Washington slept for 80 years.
Hundreds of visitors go to Mount Vernon
daily. They peer into the tomb and then
straightway go to the house. There is an inter-
est, of course which must attach to any of the
belongings of Washington, but it seems to be
legitimate matter of regret that of the thousands
who go to Mount Vernon the interest in the mir
rOr which Washington used when he shaved and
in the spoon with which he ate his porridge, If
he ate porridge, is far greater than in the forest
trees under which he walked ana in the garden
whose hedges of formal cut were planted with
his own hand
Indoors at Mount Vernon everything is dead;
outdoors everything is alive. The forest and
garden are instinct with Washington; the
tents of the house are as dust.
There is a real interest, however, in the
library of the old home. In the main the books
are simply copies of those which were on the
shelves in Washington's time. The originals as
understand it, are in several Libraries of the
country. There are two originals, however,
which open at the title page, so that If the
light be good, one may read Washingtons name
written in his own hand and the title of the book

trouble are underworld and overwork,
but chiefly underworld, says Outing.
Where due to overwork 1t has been
physical, not mental. The hearts OF
long distance runners and bicyclists
sometimes become hypertrophied,
while hearts OF children sometimes
succumb to too arduous play. With
children, however, 1t Is usually due to
a predispostion in that direction from
their parents, whose hearts have been
weakened by prolonged under exercise
