The Loyal Randolph.
And Peyton Randolph, with his
knowledge, temper, experience, judg-
ment, integrity" as of a true Roman
spirit, was a sort of prince among the
Virginia to have her liberties. He had
gone over sea to speak for her in Din
widdie's day, though he was the kings
attorney, and had lost his Office for his
holiness. But there were traditions Of
loyalty and service in his breeding
which no man might rightly ignore.
His father before him had won
knighthood and the royal favor by long
and honorable service as his majesty's
attorney in the colony. Pride and 10y
atty had gone hand in hand in the an
ilals of proud race, and had won for
the Randolphs a prestige which made
it impossible Sir Johns son should
very long be kept from the office he
had SO honorably inherited. And SO
Peyton Randolph was now once again
the kings attorney.
1t was not as the kings officer, how
ever, but as an experienced parliament
tary tactician, trained debater, a
sound man of affairs, that he had set
himself to check Henry in his revolu-
tionary courses.
Accused of Treason.
Henry found himself, in truth, pas
sionately set upon Even threats were
uttered, and abuse such as proud men
find i'll to bear. They cried Treason!
trGason!" upon him when he dared de-
clare the king would do we'll to look
to the fate Of Caesar and Charles L.
for profitable examples.
But he was not daunted whit eff

was his defiance to them.
One ally who might have stood with
him, had he known, was absent. Rich
ard Henry Lee would have brought to
his support a name as ancient and as
honorable as any Of the colony, and
an eloquence scarcely less than his
own. But, as it was, he was left al
most alone, and won his battle with
no other aid than very plain men could
lend by vote and homely utterance.

The vote was very close, but enough.
Randolph flung out of the house, NUT
tering in his heat that he would have
given five hundred guineas for sin
gle vote.
Not inflated by His Triumph.
Henry, taking the triumph very sim
ply, as was his wont, and knowing his
work for the session done, quietly
made his way homeward that very
day, striding unconcernedly down
Duke Of Gloucester street, chatting
with a friend, his legs clad in buck
skin as if for the frontier, his saddle
bags and the reins of his lean nag
slung carelessly over his arm.
The assembly had adopted Henry's
declaration OF rights, not his resolu'
ton of disobedience, and had softened
a little the language he would have
used; but it's action seemed seditious
enough to Fauquier, the governor, and
he promptly dissolved them.
1t did little good to send Virginians
home. however, if the object was to
check agitation. The whole manner OF
their life bred thought and concert OF
action. Where men have leave to be
Individual, live separately and with
proud self-respect, and yet are much

council together, constantly coming
and going, talking and planning

customed to form their opinions in
league, and yet express each man his
own with a dash and flavor of indie
pendence; where there is the leisure
to reflect, the habit of joint efforts In
business, the spirit to be social, and
abundant opportunity to be frank
withal, if you wili-you may look to
see public views form themselves very
confidently, and as easily without as
sefnblies as with them.
Washington a Silent Observer.
Washington had taken no part IN
the stormy scenes of the house, but had
sat calmly apart rather, concerned and
thoughtful.
He was not easily caught by the eX-
eitement of sudden agitation He
had the soldiers steady habit of self
possession in the presence of crisis,
and his own way of holding things at
arms-length for scrutiny-"like bish-
op at his prayers" wag said.
He had a soldiers loyalty, too, and
slowness at rebellion. His thought, no
doubt, was with the conservatives.
1,,ba+aver may have been the light that
sprang into his quiet eye when Henry S
voice rang out so like a clarion, call
ing Virginia to her standard; and he
went home, upon the dissolution, to
join and aid his neighbors in the slow
discussion which must shape affairs to
an issue.

ORIGIN OF QUARANTINE.
Dr.. Richard Mead's Action During the
Plaque Of 1921.

To DR.. Richard Mead. who was In
consultation at the deathbed Of Queen
Anne and became physician to George
l., was due the credit Of having drst
established quarantine.
In 1921. when the plague ravaged
Marseilles and its contagious origin
was discredited. DR.. Mead declared the
plague to be "a contagious distemper,"
and a quarantine was enjoined. he
also proposed a system of medical po-
lice, which finds its counterpart in the
health officers Of today. 1t was he
who declared. "As nastiness is a great
source Of infection. so cleanliness Is
the greatest preventative"
He 1t was who said nearly 200 years
ago: "lf there be any Contagious Dis
temper in the Ship the Sound men
should leave their Cloaths. which
should he burnt. the men washed and
shaved and. having fresh Cloaths.
should stay in Lazaretto-that Is.
quaranhne-thirty to forty days. The
reason for this is because Persons may
be recovered from a Disease them
selves and yet retain matter OF Infec.
ton about them a considerable time"
In practice Mead was without q n.

years between 10000 and f7.000. an

THEY DIDN'T MIND DIRT.
IN the Days When Clothes Wsrs Dyed.

In the Days When Clothes Were Dyed.
but Never Washed.
In the matter Of the washing Of
clothes, not to say, the washing Of
themselves, our ancestors were q tride
lax. The laundress Of the twelfth cen.
fury must have held a position which
was practically a sinecure. while it
seems within the bounds of possibility
that in those days she did not exist
at all. There were, insooth. few gar.
ments which would stand washing.
and the dyer was driving a brisk trade
before the laundress was even thought
of. A little dye must indeed have Gov.
cred a multitude Of spots.
In the days of the Tudors and Stu
arts washing was a tride more in evi.
dence than formerly. but those articles
which were permitted to find their
way into the buck ~pan"-as the wash.

and far between. The wealthy Of the
middle ages got over the difficulty Of
obtaining clean underclothing with
primitive simplicity by not wearing

Why Try to Keep Youno7

WV
Some people-and they must be deep
dyed fataltsts or else they must have
a great fondness for sweets and good
~ies-declare that they were born to be
fat and that no amount Of dieting will
make them thin. This has not much
to do with youth, excepting that 1t 10
quite true that some persons are born
to look their age and some are born to
look always younger than they are.
SO 1t seems as ii making an effort to
look young would be fruitless of re-
suits in many cases, and so 1t is.
The woman who goes through life
trying to look young, taking a cheer
full, smiling outlook on everything
about her, a healthy, enthusiastic In
terest in the world in general. can do
much to retain youth. In fact, she
never grows old in the n of the
word which signifies out Of date and
faded. The woman. too. who takes
care Of her health, who looks to her
diet when 1t Is convenient to do 80 ana
who takes due precautions regarding
her skin and hair runs a good chance
Of keeping a healthful and youthful
appearance throughout life.
But the woman who tries everlast-
ingly and increasingly to keep young
generally ends up by looking old and
tagged before her day. And certainly
her frame Of mind Is far from normal,
far from youthful. She avoids firing
herself, she rests a prescribed number
Of hours or minutes each day, she
spends hours fussing over her hair
and her nails and her eyebrows and
her skin, she eats only such things As
she knows she ought to eat. no matter
how much she wants to eat other
things. and what is the result?
Perhaps she does look young, per-
haps her cheek has a more delicate
bloom than the w~eathered. comfortable
looking cheek Of her sister who has
gone through life getting the most out
| of 1t, and perhaps she will stay young
| so long as she can spend hours a day
trying to do 80. But her youth is real
ly only skin deep. If she Is forced
to live in different circumstances for
a time, where she cannot devote most
Of her time to preserving her complex
ion. she fades quickly, and all the hours
spent in %ensnaring youth are gone for
nothing.
Prince Krapotkin, the great Russian
anarchist, said in an article about his
experiences in prison that he thought
he, a city bred man, used to the damp
stone houses of st. Petersburg, stood
the confinement of the cold, dark, damp
Russian prisons better than did strong,
country bred men perhaps much
| stronger and more robust than he. The
change from the fresh country air and
we'll aired houses to the Ill ventilated
and dingy prison cells was so great
that It broke down their health.
