Answer-() The correct weight for
a girl of your height and age is 1919

girl of your age TO be a few pounds
overweight. It is far better for a young
person to be from 5 to 10 pounds over

der weight.

Washington History
BIZ DONALD A. CRAIG.

July 10, 1S6S.-President johnson was
much refreshed today and able to re-
ceive q large number of visitors at the
White House, largely as the result of q
trip which he took down the Potomac
River as far as Aqua Greek, Va, and
back yesterday. Among those who ac-
companied him were his daughter, Mrs.
Patterson, and his son Frank. They
went on the steamer Don, which was
part Of the late Potomac flotilla. 1t was
about 9 o'clock last night when the
party got back to Washington.
George A. Atzerodt, one of the four
persons who were hung here a few days
ago for alleged conspiracy in connection
with the late President Lincoln's assas-
sinstion, confessed to his part in the plot
just before he died, according to articles
printed in the newspapers here today.
One of the plans Of the conspirators,
Atzerodt is alleged to have said, was
to abduct President Lincoln from Ford's
Theater. An actor was to turn of the
gas and plunge the whole interior of the
theater into darkness to facilitate the
carrying out of this plot, according to
this story. What was to have been done
with Mr.. Lincoln after he was abducted
seems to be somewhat haZy. Anyhow,
for various reasons, the whole plan fell
through. The story, with many circum-

papers today.
Atzerodt, referring to the assault upon
Secretary OF State Seward on the same
night that President Lincoln was MUIR
dered, said that one of the plans to
gain entrance to Secretary Stewards
house would have involved several 9TH
ers in the act, If it had been successful.
He Is reported to have confessed that he
made the acquaintance Of a woman
living near the Seward residence, who
was to become acquainted with Serv-
ant. The servant in turn was to intro
duce Booth into the Seward home, so
that he could learn something about the
location of the rooms and the general
interior plan of the house. This scheme
also apparently failed.
Payne, another of the four executed
conspirators, is quoted today as having
said just before his execution several
days ago to Col. Doster his counsel, that
he wanted to "die in peace with God
and man" and that he did not want to
live, even If President johnson would
spare his life" Payne is also alleged
to have said that Atzerodt was innocent
OF any attempt at murder.
The surviving prisoners. who were
among those tried for conspiracy in con-
nection with the death of Mr.. Lincoln
and the attacks on other Government
officials, will probably be sent in a day
or two to the penitentiary at Albany,
N. Y. They are DR.. Samuel A. Mudd,

The success of the undertaking de-
ponds to a great measure on having
perfectly cut bias strips. The best
way to go about this is to fold over
a piece of heavy paper so that you
have perfect triangle. with a side
precisely the width of the material to
be cut. Then cut the material per-
fectly even at one end. drawing a
thread to be sure that it is even. Now
lay the right-angle triangle paper over
the material with one side even with
the straight edge of the material. Care
fully draw a line with pencil on the
material along the long side of your
your right-angle triangle pattern. Cut
a strip of cardboard or heavy paper of
the width of the desired bias pieces
and. placing one side along the pencil
mark drawn on the material mark the
material along the other side of the
cardboard strip. It is a good plan to
trace off these strips, as many as you
desire, before beginning to cut.

said he. "All my life have lived here
at the Smiling Pool or down along the
Big River. I've seen several Of the
Heron cousins-Longlegs the Great
Blue Heron, Quawk the Night Heron,
Poke the Little Green Heron and Pun
per the Bittern, but never any one like
this fellow. Never have seen any
feathers like those on this ones back"
They were lovely. They were what
like ordinary feathers. They were
what are called loose webbed. II made
them appear very delicate and dainty
and there were very many Of these
feathers. It is no wonder that Peter
and Jerry gazed in round-eyed wonder
at this beautiful bird.
For some little time this beautiful
stranger stood straight and still, his
long white neck stretched to its full
length. He stood just rs Jerry and
Peter had seen Longlegs the Heron
stand many times He was making
sure that all was safe. Neither Peter
nor Jerry moved. They sat as still as
the stranger stood.
At last the stranger drew in his neck
and took two or three rather stately
steps. Then that long, dagger-like bill
was shot down like flash, and a Sec
ond later Peter and Jerry saw frog
start head first down that long throat
Gradually the stranger moved toward
Peter and Jerry. Peter was you know,
upon the bank, while Jerry was down
below on the end of an old log Both
Of them were so full of curiosity that
they could hardly wait for the stranger
to get near enough for them to speak
to him.

Pool. Peter and Jerry simply stared.
They were most impolite about it.
They were most rude. But they were
to he excused, for never had either
seen any one at all like this stranger.
To begin with, this stranger was not
quite so big as Longlegs the Great Blue
Heron, but in shape he was the same.
There was no doubt at all in the mind
of either Jerry or Pete that this was a
member of the Heron family. He was
all white-beautiful snowy white-save
his legs and feet, which were black,
and his bill, which was yellow. Being
white, he looked larger than he really
was. In fact, at first Jerry and Peter
hadn't realized that he wasn't as large
as Longlegs.
When they got a good look at his
back, Peter gave little gasp. "Ohp
he exclaimed. "Just look at those
feathers on his back Did you ever see
anything lovelier, Jerry Muskrat? Did
you?"
