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 ex- pressed by their votes for legislators A 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, Washington was elected the first time by the votes of only ten of the 13 states.
 New York city was the scene Of the first inaugu- ration, however Washington took the oath on the portco of Federal hall. the present site of the Subtreasury at Wall and Nassau streets April 30, 11S9. Immediately following this ceremony he retired within the building and delivered an ad- dress to congress. which met in Federal hall in those days John Adams the second president also addressed congress in person, but Jefferson broke the custom which President Wilson has re- vived. Jefferson stigmatized that form of address as monarchcal and put his message in writiEg- New York Sun.

tember % 1S00 This will is not nearly so long so involved as that of General Washington. It was probated in 1902 by George Washington Parke Custis and Thomas Peter two of the execu- tors. It was taken up with the disposition of household effects and provisions for the education of her relatives. Three granddaughters, four nieces, her grandson four nephews grandniece 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 10 ten guneas with which to buy rings.
 One of the odd provisions Was "It is my will and desire that Ann Mariah Washington daughter of my niece be put into handsome mourning at my death at the expense of my estate, and l be queath to her ten guineas to buy ring
 Another unusual order reads; "It 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 guneas to buy ring for each"
 All of the family pictures. except q few spe- officially mentioned were left to George Washing ton Parke Custis, and to him went 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 further provision that 100 pounds be given to each to set him up in his trade.
 The belated return of these two famous docu ments, essentially personal and human in their contents to the little courthouse where they were both filed for probate q century ago has made of Fairfax Court House another Mecca for the historyoving tourist. and it is rapidly falling into line after Mount Vernon and Alexandria In point of popularity

 We must constantly bear in mind that the food value takes into consid- eration digestbility, waste amount of heat and energy given the body, taken in proportion to the cost.
 Cake may be made with egg subSti- tutes or gelatin in place of eggs. Eggs are rich in food value while gelatin has very little. A meal that fails to meet the needs of the family Is not an economically prepared meal.
 No woman should dare go into Il home of her own who is not willing to study the value of each food and it's ability to supply nutrilnent.
 To stimulate the appetite by pleas ing favors, attractive serving and avoidance of monotony in the diet, are points vitally worth consideration The careful preparation of foods, giving time and thought to methods. will help in reducing the cost, and makes them more satisfying.
