The golden bees had been discovered
in considerable numbers, and were
thought to have decorated the royal
robes, and it is interesting to recall
that Napoleon, ever entering into the
spirit of historical display, chose this
decoration for his coronation robes.
Has Beautiful Buildings.
Journal claims to be the oldest of
the cities of Belgium, and is certainly
one of the most interesting and most
picturesque, and contains a large num-
Der of beautiful buildings. There has
always been great sympathy between
the people of Journal and the French,
and much intercourse between the
town and Lille, just across the from
tier.
In the Grande place stands statue
of the Princess d'Epinoy, who distin-
guished herself in the defense of
Journal against Alexandra Farnese in
1881. She fought in full armor and
saved the town by her energy and
courage. The beautiful cathedral is
one of the finest examples of the Ro-
manesque type of architecture, and
challenges comparison with the splen-
did churches of northern France.

CHOICE OF BUT TEN STATES.

New York state had no part in the election of
the first president of the United States. For some
years following the establishment of the federal
government, the legislatures of most of the states
chose the presidential electors. the people voting
for them only indirectly, their choice being eN
pressed by their votes for Legislators. deadlock
between the senate and the assembly prevented
the selection of electors from New York state
Rhode Island and North Carolina had not yet
ratified the Constitution so Washington was
elected the first time by the votes of only ten of
the IS states.
New York city was the scene of the frt inaugu-
ration, however Washington took the oath on
the portco Of Federal hail. the present site Of
the subtreaSury, at Wall and Nassau streets April
30, 1888. Immediately following this ceremony he
retired within the building and delivered an adj
dress to congress, which met in Federal hall I'm
those days. John Adams, the second president
also addressed congress in person, but Jefferson
broke the custom which President Wilson has re-
vived. Jefferson stgmatized that form of address
rs monarchical and put his message in writing

TENDER %, 1900. This will is not nearly so long
nor so involved as that of General Washington
1t was probated in 1902 by George Washington
Parke Custs and Thomas Peter two of the execu
tors. 1t was taken up with the disposition OF
household effects and provisions for the education
of her relatives. Three granddaughter, four
nieces, her grandson, four nephews, grandnece
and other distant relatives and friends are men
toned To them she gave paintings, town lots
and to nearly all of them she gave from five to
ten guineas with which to buy rings.
One of the odd provisions was: at is my will
and desire that Ann Marian Washington, daughter
of my niece, be put into handsome mourning at
my death at the expense of my estate, and be-
queath to her ten guineas to buy ring"
Another unusual order reads: 1T is my will
and desire that all of the wine in bottles in the
vaults be equally divided between my grand
daughters and grandson, to each of whom
bequeath ten guineas to buy ring for each"
All of the family pictures, except a few spe
officially mentioned, were left to George Washing
ton Parke Gusts, and to him went a large collec
ton of household furnishings. including BEDS
water coolers, china and furniture. Special pro-
vision was made for the education of three neph-
ews who were TO be fitted in some useful
trade" and she made a further provision that
100 pounds be given to each to set him up in his
trade.
The beated return of these two famous docu-
ments, so essentially personal and human in their
contents, to the little courthouse where they were
both filed for probate over century ago has
made of Fairfax Court House another Mecca for
the historyloving tourist and it is rapidly falling
into line after Mount Vernon and Alexandria in
point of popularity.

impaired to its diction greater dignity.
And the purpose of words in diplomat
ic exchanges being to conceal thought,
as Talleyrand said, the language of
chancelIeries is far more LIQUID. 1t
must fit the cast Of the particular die
into which it is poured.
So we must conclude that General
SHUTS is not diplomat. He has not
the diplomatic method of expression.
When the general met diplomat
trained in the school of Metternich, to
discuss informally a separate peace
with Austria, he put the question of
such a peace squarely to the be-
ribboned, bestarred representative.
There was hesitation and equivoca.
ton. Goodnight !" was the generals
exclamation as he left the confused
diplomat.
General SHUTS may not wear shirt
sleeves in diplomatic councils, but
this use of the vernacular shows that
his verbiage at least takes its coat
off. The acid touch of a bit of slang
put an end to the prolonged ambigui.
Ties and deceits of which diplomacy
is so fond.

BUILT FROM HIS OWN PLANS,

At the late date of 1927 wish expressed bv
George Washington in his will was obeyed He
had called attention to his selection of spot for
a new tomb for himself and family and those of
the family already buried in the old vault The
old tomb was disadvantageously situated on the
side of hill which was subject to landsIides
For the new vault he specified not only the spot
but also dimensions and materials According to
these, his own plans, tomb was built and his
and Mrs. Washngton's bodies were transferred
TO it, along with the remains in the old vault of
other members of the family. The latter were
buried within the vault, out OF sight while the
bodies of General and Mrs. Washington are in
stone cofins above the ground within plain view
between q grated iron doorway.

with gold, some remains Of human
bones and a gold signet ring bearing
the Inscription, "Childirici." Here was
the key to discovery, for the presence
of the ring led experts to consider that
this was the burial place Of Childeric,
king of the Salan Franks, whose CAPT
tai was at Journal, and who died in
4S1.
This conjecture was further strength
ened by an examination of the differ
ent objects, which were of such fine
workmanship that they could only
have been wrought for some great
chief or royal parsonage. The hilt and
scabbard OF the sword were mounted
with gold, enriched with a mosaic OF
garnets and other precious stones held
in gold cloiSons. Gold ornaments in
the form of bees, and having the wings
outlined with an inlay of garnets set
in gold, and also small votive object
in the form of bulls head, with the
solar disk on the forehead, recalling
Mycenean examples, formed part of
the treasure. and on the ring bearing
the kings name vas engraved the head
Of man with the long, straight hair
worn by the Merovingians, and with
the gold tOrque or collar round his
neck. Perhaps this was meant for
representation, as near as might be, of
Childeric.
This rare treasure, after changing
hands two or three times, eventually
found its way to the Cabinet DIES Me-
dailles, Paris. In 1881 thieves, in an
evil hour, broke in and stole almost
the whole of it, leaving behind them
only the mounting of the sword, two
golden bees, a tibula and a few stray
fragments.
