VALLEY FORGE ls RESTORED.

A few years ago Valley Forge was
one OF the most neglected OF the ma.
tons historic places. Visitors saw
Washington's headquarters and then
wandered around aimlessly, regarding
with disappointment the rubbish
choked bitches that were pointed out
as the entrenchments dug by the
patriots of TT. A few vagrant lookine
signboards informed the tourists thai
the almost obliterated lines were forts
constructed by Washington's soldiers
but the entire camp ground was rapid
ly dissolving itself into the scenery
and landmarks were becoming more
and more difficult to find
All this has now been changed. The
trenches have been cleared of rubbish,
the forts restored. monuments erected,
markers placed to show where the
men of the various states had their
headquarters. and the entire camp
fairly bristles with signposts to guide
the patriotic visitor.
Most notable of all is the Memorial
chapel and Patriots hall, erected on
the spot where Washington knelt to
ask divine aid for his difficult and
seemingly hopeless campaign.
The story Is told that, upon one oc-
casion. farmer in the neighborhood
of the desolate camp at Valley Forge,
observed the commanding general dis
mount from his horse and disappear
within an adjacent grove. Drawing
nearer. the awed farmer-patriot beheld
Washington kneeling upon the frozen
snow, his hat removed, and his face
lifted In the reverent attitude of
prayer. 1t is easy to trace the unfal.

with which the great man upheld the
shivering, starving soldiers who loved

STORING CELERY IN WINTER
Excellent Method Recommended for
Farmer and Small Grower Be-
cause Of It's Simplicity.

A great deal of celery is now being
grown on the farm, more than ever
before, as farmers find this crop moi

Until recently modern science, while
not denying Indebtedness to the labors
Of the alchemists, has referred to their
two chief quests with ridicule. A few
years ago, however, Doctor Brown-Se.

clans OF Paris. devoted himself to re-
searches for an elixir OF life and found

critics which encouraged him to believe
that he was on the track Of the elixir.
He was an old man at the time, and
died In 1894 at the advanced age OF Sc.
However, the fact that q scientist of
Brown-SeQuard's repute would give
himself seriously to this department
OF research had some influence In re-
lieving one activity Of the old alchem-
lists from utter discredit. Later, In
Paris, also, came the wonderful dis
coveries of the Curies regarding ra-
dunn and helium giving rise to specu-
lations which IN the minds OF many
shook the foundations of the long es-
tablished theory of irreducible chemi-
cal elements. II that theory Is ground

post as did Sir Charles Hardinge from
the embassy at St. Petersburg.
The post Of permanent under sec
retary at the foreign Office is the
most important in British diplomacy.
for this official has the virtual direc-
tion of all the ambassadors and min
listers abroad. OF course the secre-
tary Of state for foreign affairs at
present, Sir Edward Grey-is his
nominal chief, but the permanent Of
fetal is the man who really does the
work. He 1t is who Is responsible for
maintaining the continuity OF British
foreign policy In spite of the changes
of party fortunes which displace his
temporary chiefs and while new for
eign secretary is learning his busi-
ness the permanent under-secretary's
power is practically unlimited.
Sir Arthur Nicolson has had a dis
tinguished career as diplomat. He
entered the foreign office In 1870 and
remained there In various minor ca
pacities for four years. He was as
sistant private secretary to Earl Gran
vile, when that nobleman was foreign
minister from 1872 to 1874. and In the
latter year he entered the diplomatic
service as third secretary to the en-
bassy at Berlin. After that he served
with the embassies at Picking, Con-
stantinople. Teheran and Athens, and
In 1883 he was appointed consul gen
eral at Budapest. where he remained
until 1898. when he returned to Con-
stantinople as secretary to the en-
bassy. After that he was agent in
Bulgaria. minister in Morocco and
ambassador at Madrid. In 1906 he be-
came ambassador at st. Petersburg.

HITCHCOCK EXPLAINS SAVING


In statement explaining how more
than s11 100000 were saved the post
office department during the last year
Postmaster General Hitchcock says
$t,000,000 of this amount resulted
from economical reforms In city de-
liveries.
About s2.5oO.oo0 was saved through
reforms In post Office management
More than $2.000,000 was saved BY
better handling of money-order and
registry departments. In spite of the
big decrease In the deficit, the mum
ber of employees was increased.
Reorganization In the rural delivery
service was responsible for about
s1.s00,000 of the savings made In the
deficit, and this was accomplished
without any curtailment of service. A
reduction of 100000 is credited to the
star route service. including miscella-
neous transportation of mail other
than ON railways.
The combined savings made In the
cost of handling the malls In post of,
flces and In oil branches Of the serv-
ice other than railway transportation.
including an item of s450.00o for sup
plies and miscellaneous expenses,
made an aggregate reduction OF
s6.15o. 900.
AS for the cost of railway mail
transportation. the preliminary REQ.
ords for the year indicate a reduction
of about s4.70o.0o0 in the excess OF ex.
penditures over receipts.

Mischief Wrought BY saulrrela,


In some portions of the west there
are a great many big. gray squirrels
and these animals have become a
great nuisance to the public and a
serious loss to both the telephone and
telegraph companies.
Many hundreds OF wires are en-
closed in large leaden pipas and the
squirrels have begun general attack
on these pipes-gnawing myriads OF
both small and large holes into the
wires, Just why the creatures should
commit this serious damage b . gen
erai puzzle.
Snow and rain fall into these boxes
gnawed by the squirrels. causing the
wires to rust and likewise seriously
interrupting the general public serv-
ice, The loss thus far caused has
been very heavy.
