Q. What is libido?-F. D. w.

A. Libido is the term used by
Freud and other psychoanalysts to-
describe the impelling force of our So
cial activities. His theory is that in
the infant there are two forces, those
of self-preservation and of sex. AS
the child grows up, the sex force is
suppressed, disciplined and turned to
other than primitive sex purposes.
Thus all of our activities, except
those directed toward self-preserva-
ton, are believed by the psychoan
alysts to be sublimations of the prim-
tive sex energy or libido. Most forms
of scientific. literary, artistic, philan-
thropic, political and social activity,
as well as love and family life, are ex-
pressions of this urge, disciplined and
trained for the purposes of civiliza-
ton. Most kinds of insanity and per-
version are believed to be failures of
this force to find congenial outlets in
civilized life, with the result that it
reverts to primitive forms or tries to
do so.

Remarkable Honors
Paid Washington on
His Inaugural Trip

At the time he was unanimously
elected President, Washington was the
idol of his country, and his name and
fame were known to the entire civ
ilized world His trip from his beau
tiful home on the Potomac was inter-
rGpted by receptions, fetes, addresses
and dinners. Every person who was
able to reach the roads along which
he was to pass, or the cities selected
as stations on his slow journey north
ward, joined the throngs that made
his trip the most triumphal procession
this continent had witnessed. To those
thousands who lined the roads from
Virginia to New York, the great, seri-
GUS figure of the Father Of his Coun-
try was the center of all their nation
al hopes.
On April 6, 1889, both houses Of
congress met IN New York city, at
the time the capital, and elected
George Washington President of the
United States. No other name had
been proposed. For Vice President
there were eleven nominations. John

In Early Youth Washington Had "Love

George Washington, at the age of
fourteen years, found delight in the
company of Mary Eland of Westmore-
land. He called her his "LoWland
Beauty" and he thought of her so ro-
jmanticaily that he copied into his diary
verses that reminded him of her at
fractions. Then there were a Miss
Grimes, a ''dear Sally" Mary Carey,
whom he thought of for several years,
and Betsy Fauntleroy, to whose
brother he wrote that he hoped to OBJ
tain a reversal of her former cruelty.

MONEY IN BREEDING MUSSELS
United States Fisheries Bureau Re-
ports That a Profit May Conf
IDENTIFY Be Looked For.

The business of breeding. pearly
mussels artifciaIly has been carried
so far by the United States fisheries
bureaus that a money profit is conf
IDENTIFY promised.
To produce in this way 1000 baby
massels costs about 20 cents. When
they are full grown 1900 of them
will weigh ton Thus the cost Of
producing a ton of pearIy >mussels of
market size (if all survived) would
be, as exactly reckoned, $2.6S. Assum-
ing loss of so per. cent. the cost
would be $5.36.
Pearly mussels occasionally yield
valuable pearls, but commercially it
is the shells, utilizable for mother-of-
pearl, that are Importantly to be con-
sidered.
The fisheries bureau has devoted Its
attention wholly to the propagation Of
superior varieties of mussels, the
shells of which have at present time
a market value of $50 ton.

Washington received sixty-nine votes.
AS soon as it could be arranged,
Charles Thomson. secretary Of con-
gress, was dispatched to Mount YER
non to apprise General Washington Of
his election. Thomson, who had been
secretary Of the continental congress,
reached Washington's home on April

morning. The master of Mount Yer

farms and Mrs. Washington enter

Before sunrise on the morning Of
April 16 a messenger had come from
Alexandria with an invitation to a
public dinner there, and in his diary
for the day Washington wrote:

Of Washington's reception in Phila-
delphia chronicler of the day wrote:
Thousands of freemen, whose hearts
burned with patriotic fire, fell into the
ranks almost every square we marched,
until the column swelied beyond
credibiIity itself and, having conducted
the man of our hearts to the City
tavern; he was introduced to very
grand and plentiful banquet, which
was prepared for him by the citizens.
At dinner thirteen patriotic toasts
were drank"

cause of liberty at a time when the
outlook was chilling. =
The trip through New Jersey was
continued through Princeton, New
Brunswick and Elizabeth, where
Washington boarded barge and was
rowed to New York. Flags and floral
decorations marked each step; every
where he went Washington heard
shouts for g conqueror's ears. He was
hailed as a deliverer and acclaimed as
a deity, but throughout all the heart
felt adulation paid him by those who
almost worshiped him. the greatness
of the man was revealed by his artless
modesty,. his composure and his grace
full, tactful acceptance of the honors
paid him.
Washington arrived in Elizabeth on
April %, just week from the day he
set out from Mount Vernon. A PRO
pitious gale" was blowing when the
party set out across Newark bay for
New York. A barge, built for the pur-
pose, and rowed by twelve old cap
tains of vessels who had retired from
business conveyed the President and
party. The oarsmen wore white shirts
adorned with ribbons. One after an

feared some discourtesy, but, as the

their number as tens Of thousands. The

A serious inconvenience is caused

come by the use of huge tin tanks in
which the rain is caught.
Naturally, toward the breaking up
of the dry season, water becomes very
precious.
A judge, on circuit. arriving at a
bush shanty, asked for a bath. Such
a luxury was naturally refused, as
there was only little water left at
the bottom of the tank reserved for
drinking purposes, says the author of
"Quaint Acquaintances.'
When dinner was ready, as the judge
could not be found, the landlord went
to call him; whereupon a muffled
voice issued from the tank, where the
judge was bathing
The landlord, justly furious, roundly
abused his guest.
