Washington the ideal diflers in many. peas from Washington the real. e ideal father of his country is repre- nted us a medium-sized man of regu- r features, with a gentle expression on is face and noble sentiments in his oath. Gilbert Stuart’s portrait of ' ,the most popular picture of the eat American hero, gives him a may, poetic look and a. heroic pose. In fact, Washington was 6 feet 8 dies high and weighed considerably ore than two hundred pounds. though not a man of too much flesh. His hands ere so large that his gloves had to be adeto order and No. 11 shoes were required for his feet. His eyes were blue, hair sandy, and skin ruddy. He ”3 a blonde of not a very pronounced gype. He had a very large and in later ears as very red nose. His mouth was prominent and very firm, his brow massive and eyes deep~set. Washington was a man of violent temper, which at fimes made him abusive, but he was jingulsrly just, quick to acknowledge in error and apologize for it. When Capt. Payne knocked him down for abusive language Washington staid the revenge his friends sought by admitting thathe deserved it.~and extending his hand in friendship to the doughty little Virginian. Washington’s temper soma- nmes broke out in a volley of profanity that made the air blue. Besides three Stuart portraits and one of J ohu Trumbull. who c‘losely f'llows Stuart, are four pictures at the loan ex~ hibition that give Washington very dif- ferent features. The famous picture of Edward Savage, “The Washington Family,” is represented by an engraving. The picture has been severely criticised, but some of the great man’s features are doubtless faithfully drawn. G. W. P. Curtis, who is one of the figures in the pictureâ€"the led on Washington’s rightâ€"said that the picture was an In- diflerent performance both as to design and execution. While criticising the bad likeness of Mrs. Washington and “Billy,” the body servant, however, Mr. Curtis said nothing about Washing- tou’s picture. In this picture Washing- ton is represented as having heavy, hanging jaws, a large, straight month, a double chin, long, slightly aquiline nose, and heavy eyelids.

A lady asked a learned professor if he understood Chinese. He did. “Well, what is ‘mouth’ in Chinese?” “Mouth'is k’eu.” A week later the lady suddenly asked the professor :â€"“What is kitchen door in Chinese ?” “It is k’eu.” “Very remarkable. A week ago you said mouth is k’eu.” “Quite so,” answered the pro- fessor. “Whatever opens and shuts is k’eu 1n Chinese.” Two ladies moving in the highest circles of Washington society, during a friendly meeting on the street, got to quarrelling about their age, and used very strong language toward each other. At length, as if to end the dispute, one of them turned away and said in a very concilia~ tory tone of voice :-â€"â€"“Let us not quarrel any more. I, at least, have not the heart to do it.

The asser- tion that he has discovered anything worth knowing, or has gained any in- formormation which will be of value to scientific men, is treated as a huge joke. “Yes,” said Mrs. Lavender, when she was presented with a. bouquet of flowers grown in open air ; “ yes, they look quite natural, except that these prickly stems are quite inartisticâ€"not at all comparable in natural beauty to the exquisite wire stems on the flowers which come from Mr. Posibed ’s conservatory. ” a just application of the principles on which the masonic fraternity is founded must be productive of private virtue and pubiic prosperity, I shall always be happy to advance the interest of the society and to be considered by them as a deserving brother. ” Fruit dealers are mostly all orange- menâ€"in the season.-â€"Rochester Post- Express.

They are Sorosis and the New England club. The society is “independ- ent of sect, party, and social cliques, the basis of membership being earnestness of purpose, love of the truth, and a. desire to promote the best interests of human- ity." More than one hundred portraits of Washington have been made. and twenty-five or thirty are in the loan ex- hibition.

This is a great pity. for the animal plays an important part in the daily part of the whole community, being concerned, as the Autocrat pointed out. even in the early conveyance of milk-cans and in the delivery of fresh rolls. These humble of- fices have actually been performed by horses who afterward acquired fame upon the track. Within the past year, an old Dutchman, living in Western New York and engaged in the milk business, was as- tonished and not a little frightened by the pace which his beast set up one frosty morning. The cart was bounced over the pavements of the city where his route lay, the cans hopped and rattled in their seats, and the driver lost his breath. But he had no sooner recovered it than he began to boast of the wonderful speed at which the horse had carried him, and thereafter the animal was taken out harnessed to a buggy, on Saturday afternoons and the like occasions, for a brush on the road with the fast trotters of the neighbor- hoI .»d, all of whom he on t- stripped. Pretty soon the dutchman’s son, who had been brought up in this Country, procured an old sulky, and put the milk-waggon steed in some sort of training. In two month’s time they ap- peared at a track, engaged in a race with veteran drivers and horses of established reputation, and beat them all in three straight heats,â€"â€"a wonderful achievement for a green trotter and jockey, and an im- mense deal of surprise to the professional persons who jeered at the uncouth appear- ance of the new-comers. This case bears out Dr. Holmes’s illustration of the milk- cart; nor is the other example he gives without foundation in fact. Some years ago, a baker’s horse in Boston, after delivering her rolls and brown bread in the city one day as usual, was driven to Sagus, a distance of about eight miles, and started in a match race at the track there. In the exhuberance of her spirits she ran away in the first heat, and went round the course once or twice before she could be stopped. But being allowed to start again, notwithstandin this irregula- rity, she won the race, an fimshed her day’s work by bringing the baker back to Boston and beating all the horses that en- gaged with her on the, road home. V it must not be supposed however, that these animals were entirely of plebeian origin, The milkman’s horse had a‘ dash Trotting horses. of thoroughbred in his compOsition, and the baker's mare belonged to the imcmn- parable Morgan strain. Indeed it rarely perhaps never, happens that a horse who is not connected more or less closely with the eQuine aristocracy becomes distinguish- ed as a trotter.â€"Atlantic. A Suit for Divorce. A rather sensational divorce suit, men- tion of which has set West End society, of Montreal, in a flutter of excitement, and in which an American citizen will be defendant, with a. Canadian young lady as a co-respondent, is on the tapis. About a year ago the young lady referred to ar- rived in Montreal from the country, and having talents of a peculiar, artistic kind, which few ladies can boast of, through friends obtained a position in the office of a professional gentleman originally from the United States. Soon a close friend- ship sprang up between employer and em- ployee, which shortly afterward‘ ripened into something more, to which the young lady. Supposing her admirer to be a bach- lor, did not object. Things went on pleasantly till the gentleman’s wife, till then in blissful ignorance of her husband’s infatuation, was thunderstruck one day when she found letters from her fair as- sistant addressed to him in the most en- dearing terms. As a matter of course an upheaval in of the cou ple followed, and the indignant wife, unable or unwilling to recapture the affections of her eriing spouse, packed her belongings and left for her former home. It was about this time that a rumor regard- ing the real position of the husband came to the ears of the young lady, and she in turn demanded an explanation, which de- mand Was complied with by her lover that his wife was not his wife, but the object of a foolish fancy. who for the last few years acted as his housekeeper, and to whom he was never married. Young and gullable, the girl accepted the story, but in his zeal her employer went so far as to spread the same rumor amongst his friends. They also. astonished at this pe~ culiar state-0f affairs, did not take particu~ lar pains to hide the fact, but gradually the wife came to know the charge against her. She immediately returned to the city, with the fixed intention of repudiat- ing her husband’s assertion with an ac- tion for divorce. The young,r lady has left her lover’s employ, and the wife, who is a very charming lady, is at present stay- ing with friends. Secrets are things many girls delight in. My experience has taught me that the fewer secrets and mysteries girls have the safer and more comfortable they feel. N 0 girl should agree to keep a secret that she will have to withhold from her mother. If it is important and necessary that it should not be Communicated to a third party, then she should refuse to hear it at all. A great deal of unhappiness ‘ and misery has been done through small? secrets, leading on from one wrong to l another, until a web of deceit has been ‘ woven so complete and intricate that it has been nearly impossible to get disen- tangled from. Your mothers, dear girls, are the wisest and best confidents you can 1 have. Their love, you may be sure, willl guide and counsel you aright, and although 1 you may make many mistakes and blun- ‘ ders, you can never go very far astray if ‘ you tell mother everything. A girl whose ‘ first thought when committing any fault is, that mother musn’t know of this. is standing on very unsafe ground. Hide nothing from your mothers. If you do wrong, go to them and own it ; don’t wait for someone else to tell them, and thus shake their confidence and trust in you. Concealment and deceit should .never be tolerated, and in your intercourse and as- sociation with other girls. shun those who take pleasure in them, and seek the com- panionship of those with whom there need be no mysteries.

The knivet should be as nearly as possible of equal weight. By open- ing one or the other of them more or less they can bi made to balance; , In order to bring them to the exact position requiredâ€"- that is, to bring the pin, the cork and the knives to a horizontal positionâ€" place the head of the pm on the end of your finger and ascertain if the two knives are on the same level. If not,- adjust them until they are so. Then take the cork in your hand and lay the stem of the pin on the point of a needle, the head of which is fastened in the cork of a bottle. You must care- fully change the Doint of support of the pin until you have found that position in which it remains perfectly horizontal when left to itself. Now blow upon one of the penknives, at first gently and then more strongly. You will thus cause the whole to rotate rapidly. After a time the needle, being the harder, will have worn a tiny hole in the pin, and if you continue the er pegnient will finally piegce it entirely.l This experiment can also be made by placing the pin in a cork in the direc- tion of its axis while the needle pene- trates it perpendicularly.
