he tells an amusing story at the ex-

When at luncheon with friend he
observed that he touched no meat,
but ate only certain strange vegeta-

prepared for his special consumption.

stituted In Alexandria and the citizens
were justly proud of their enterprise,
The market place then lay directly in
front OF the approach to the Carlyle
house and that same mart Of country
produce was intimately identified with
Washington's domestic life at Mount
Vernon and was one other means OF
displaying his common sense. We of
today know but little of the hardships
OF that colonial period, and feasting
was not always as abundant as the
story book would have 1t. Rev. Mr..
Weems, that chatty chronicler OF the
times, tells US that Alexandria then
boosted more rightly of its beauty than
its means OF charming the palate.
THE neighborhood of Belle Haven
was not desert; on the contrary 1t
was in many places a garden spot.
Astounding with luxuries. But its in
habitants, the wealthy, were not wise.
By the successful culture OF tobacco
they had money. And having filed
their coach houses with gilt carriages
and their dining rooms with gilt glass
es they began to look down upon the
poorer sort and to talk about families.
"Of course 1t would never do for
such great people to run market carts!
Hence the poor Belle Havenites,
though embosomed in plenty, we're
often in danger of gnawing their nails.
And unless they could cater a lamb
from some good natured cracker or a
leash OF chickens from the Sunday ne
groes we're obliged to sit down with
long faces to half graced dinner OF
salt meat and journey cake.
This was the order Of the day, A. D.
SO, when Washington, just married to
the wealthy young widow Custis, had
settled at Mount Vernon, nine miles
below Belle Haven. The unpleasant
situation OF the families at that place
soon reached his ears. To man OF
his character, with too much spirit to
follow bad example when he had the
power to set good one and too much
wit to look for happiness anywhere but
in his own bosom, 1t could not long be
questionable what part he had to act
"a market cart was instantly con-
strucred, and regularly three times a
week sent of to Belle Haven filled
with nice roasters. kidney covered
lamb and veal, green geese, fat ducks
and gobblers, chickens by the basket,
fresh butter, new laid eggs, vegetables
and fruits of all sorts. Country gen.
temen dining with their friends in
town very soon remarked the welcome
change in diet. Bless US ALL ex.
claimed they, what's the meaning of
this? You invited us to family fare,
and here you have given us lord
mayors feast Yes replied the 9TH
ers, thank God for sending a Colonel
Washington into our neighborhood.'

SCHOOL TEACHERS.
Also Have Things to Learn.

For many years l had used coffee
and refused to be convinced Of It's bad
effect upon the human system" writes
veteran school teacher.
Ten years ago / was obliged to
give up my much-loved work in the
public schools after years of continu-
GUS labor. l had developed we'll de-
fined case of chronic coffee poisoning.
The troubles were constipation,
iutterings Of the heart, humping
in the top Of my head, and various
parts of my body, twitching OF my
limbs. shaking of my head and, at
times after exertion, a general gone"
feeling, with topers desire for very
strong coffee. l was a nervous wreck
for years.
"A short time ago friends came to
visit us and they brought a package
of Postum with them, and urged me
to try it. l was prejudiced because
some years back had drunk cup Of
weak, tasteless stuff called Postum
which l did not like at all.
This time, however, my friends
made the Postum according to direc-
lions on the package, and 1t won me.
Soon l found myself improving in q
most decided fashion.
THE odor Of boiling coffee no long
er tempts me. am so greatly bene-
flied by Postum that If / continue to
improve as l am now, I'll begin to
think l have found the Fountain Of
Perpetual Youth. This is no fancy
letter but stubborn facts which l am
glad to make known"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. Write for a copy of The
Road to MELVILLE"
Postum now comes in two forms:
Regular Postum-must be well
boiled.
Instant Postum-is a soluble pow
der. A teaspoonful dissolves quickly
in cup of hot water and, with cream
and sugar, makes a delicious bever-
age instantly. Grocers sell both kinds.
There's Reason" for Postum.

the seas to barter the silks and riches
Of the east and the tropic abundance
Of the West Indies in return for the IA
nous tobacco with which Alexandria's
one big warehouse was filed. That was
period of bounteous hospitality and
courtly grace.
On the right OF the broad hallway Is
the large drawing room. In Washing
tons day 1t was finished in gold and
white, and there on many occasions he
took an active part In ball and fes-
tivity and led many fair Vrginian
through the stately steps OF the minuet
and the less exacting reel. The hall
way itself, II tradition be correst, is
not without its sentimental interest,
for 1t was at the foot of the beautiful
staircase Of solid mahogany that
Washington awaited the coming OF the
lovely Sally Fairfax upon a particular
evening and while escorting her into
the ballroom offered her his heart,
which she rejected.
On the opposite eide OF this same
hall is the blue and white room, which
was John Carlyles particular retreat
Within that room Washington received
his commission as a member of Gen
eral Braddock's staff in 1855. What
that meant to Washington we can only
partly divine, but there iB no doubt Of
its significance to us as a nation be-
cause Of what It taught him of the
fighting ways of the British soldier.
From the broad portico OF Mount
Vernon Washington saw Braddock ar
rive with his transports and his regi-
ments of red coated soldiery and pass
onward to Alexandria, nine miles
above, coming with the splendid tradi-
lions Of the kings troops and with all
the martial fanfare of regulars. AS a
leader of the local provincial troops
Washington had won for himself a
creditable renown, but here we're SOL
dlers supposedly Of sterner stun and
higher military capabilities.
General Braddock promptly accepted
the hospitable invitation of John Car
lyle and established his headquarters
under the roof of that gracious host,
the little blue and white room becom-
ing the council chamber In which were
planned the preparations for that men,
orable but Ill fated campaign against
the Indians. Washington's previous ex-
perience as leader Of local troops
against the savages made him well
come at those conferences and hie
keen judgment and practical advice
earned for him Braddock's admiration
and the invitation to serve upon the
British generals stan. It Is enough
to add that in the trying work that
followed the British records testify
that "the Virginia officers and troops
behaved like men and died like sol
diers," and Washington came out OF
the strife unscathed and ripper for the
far more serious task that lay ahead
of him.
The architectural student will find
much to interest him and to warrant
study In the Carlyle house. The old
windows, the doorways, the primitive
cupboards, chairboards, doorsteps. cor
nices, molding, ETC., are exquisite in
taste and rich in quaintness and ele.
gance of detail. There they are as

Alexandria played no small part in
the formative years OF Washington
youth and early manhood. A repre-
sentative Virginia town, 1t stood then
and for generations later for all that
was best OF colonial standards. Its peo-
pie had much to do with the molding
of Washington's character, and Wash
ington richly repaid Alexandria, or
Belle Haven as It was first called, by
his never failing concern for its vel
fare and advancement.
Probably no surviving structure in
Alexandria harbored Washington with
in its hoepitable walls more frequently
than the old Carlyle house, and GER
tainly none was more directly associ-
ated with the foundation Of the mill
tary side Of his life. Strange as 1t
may seem, for many years this his
torical landmark has been hidden away
behind the battered front Of Alexan-
dria's once noted hotel, the Braddock
house, occupying one corner Of the in
ner courtyard, shut away from the pub
lie gaze and denied the outlook of the
broad approach which It once enjoyed
in the days of It's we'll nigh baronial
the Carlyle house was largely used as
a storage place by local dealer in
colonial antiques, but a few patriotic
Virginia women saved the building
from further indignity, though not en-
tirely from danger, as the old furni-
ture found new abiding place within
the still more infiammable Braddock
house. adjoining.
In 1882 John 8. Carlyle imported
from the Isle Of Wight the stone OF
which the house is built, and he alb
sorbed for part OF the foundation a
portion Of an old fort which had been
built many years before for the protec-
ton OF the English traders at Hunting
Greek, as the place was then known,
against the Indians. The barracks OF
that ancient defense became the cellar
of the Carlyle house. and in those
