of February and of sending a billet
doux or a fancy valentine through the
mail to some favored one.
In old Rome, the 18th of February
was the festival of Juno Februata
(Juno the fructifyer), and the Roman
church substituted st. Valentine for
the heather goddess. At that festival,
called 'Lupercalia," it was there
customary, among other ceremonies,
to put the names of young mt into
a box, from which they were drawn
by the men as chance directed.
The Christian clergy, finding 1t diff
fcult or impossible to extirpate the
pagan practice, and In accordance
with their general principle to eradi-
cate the vestiges of pagan superstition
by retaining the ceremonies but modi-
flying their significance, gave 1t a re-
ilglous aspect by substituting the
names of particular saints for those

were drawn were proposed for imita-

written, and In many religious houses,

Mount Vernon as killed on his own

ment to initiate the virtues and In.
woke the special intercession Of his
holy valentine.
This innovation, however. namely
the substitution of the names of saints
for the names of lovers, could not
please the young people forever.
Though the clergy repeatedly forbade
the custom of valentines and ordered
the use of cards with saints names,
the old pagan custom could not be
abolished. The boys and girls tri-
umphed over the saints, and in the
end the girls triumphed over the boys,
wrestling from them their exclusive
privilege Of choosing mates.
The old custom Of drawing names is
to this day observed in many parts of
England and Scotland in the following
manner: A number of clips of paper
with the names of an equal number
Of men and women are shuffled and
so each young man has a val
entine in the person of a young
maiden, and each maiden draws a
young man whom she calls hers. The
valentines give each other gifts, and
this little sport ends in love and
marriage.

REAL WASHINGTON
INTENSELY HUMAN
BY NO MEANS THE DEMIGOD HE
HAS BEEN DEPICTED.
Admittedly of Violent Temper. but
With Strong Powers of Self-Con-
trol-NaturaIIy Melancholy.

The Father of His Country woul,
hardly have fancied himself in the roll
of a demigod-as folks nowadays ar,
disposed to regard him. He was yer,
human.
When a young man, his hair was de
-cidedly red. At the age of fifty he
was quite gray, aud on occasions OF
ceremony his locks (done up in q
queue) were freely powdered, as was
the custom of the day. \
His teeth from early manhood gave
him a great deal of trouble. Theyswere.
In fact, badly decayed-dentistry at
that period being an undeveloped art
and this circumstance rather marred
his good looks when he smiled or
laughed.
He was also considerably pock-
marked, having suffered an attack Of
smallpox at nineteen years of age,
while in Barbados with his invalid
brother. Those were days when most
people had smallpox sooner or later,
vaccination being as yet u%nthought of.
At fifty-seven (when inaugurated as
President in New York;, he had lost
nearly all of his teeth. He then wore
a false set of hippopotamus ivory,
which made him very uncomfortable.
In sitting for his most famous por-
trait, painted by Gilbert Stuart. his
lips were padded out with a wad OF
cotton.
He seems to have had little sense
of humor, and unquestionably was of
q most melancholy temperament. The
dinners he gave In New York were
described by his guests as dull affairs.
AS a rule, he sat silent, rather sad of
v1sage, and taking little part in the
conversation. While others talked, he
would keep tap-tapping on the table,
edge with fork or curious
habit he had.
He had a pronounced weakness for
gambling-though always held In
check by a reluctance to commit him
self imprudently. A born Spectator,
was constantly engaged in land
deals. He subscribed to every lottery
and rattle that came along, and would
many hours at a stretch with a
pack of cards, though usually a loser.
attend and bet on a horse race, he
often went to Annapolis, or even as
Jar as Philadelphia.
Spelling was by no mean his forte.

BOY SCOUT WORK IN ALBANIA

Inc hrst troop of boy scouts to be
organized In Albania has recently been
started in Tfrana by an American Red
cross woman. The boys are deeply
Interested, and are quite as eager to
do their daily good urn as their Amer
lean brothers. They wear a uniform
similar to our own, but their cap is a
picturesque affair of black felt. with
a tartan band of red and black, the
Albanian national colors, around the
edge and hanging down the back.
Most OF the boys are Musselmans and
must wear a brim1ess hat, so that
their faces may never be concealed

Americas Predominant FIGURE

One hundred and ninety years have
elapsed since George Washington was
born. One hundred and twenty-three
years have elapsed since he died. He
never saw a railway locomotive, a
steamboat or an electric light. But
he still lives as the predominant figure
of American history and the annals of
American craftsmanship record no
state paper that even approximately
compares with his farewell address.
