The liability to disease is greatly
lessened when the blood is in good con

vigorous. For then all refuse matter
is promptly carried out of the system ;
otherwise it would rapidly accumulate
fermentation would take place, the

The business conducted by the Stand,

Is estimated that the
dally wage list of
the company and of
Its dependent con

products amounts to
$7&000. The coin puny
owns 20.000 tulles of

gallons of oil are de
livered every day to
the rctlncrles o f

product.
hi different parts of the world tho
Standard has 40,000 tanks, capable of
storing 1,500.000.000 gallons of oil. Tho
Increase In Its handling facilities Is
equal to the building of a U.,000 gallon
tank every day. To supply tho foreign
markets -10,000,000 live-gallon tin cans,
costing $5,800,000, are used each year.
These cans are packed In 7,000,000
wooden cases nnd In addition 4,000,000
barrels are employed In marketing tho
product of the refineries at a cost of
$4,500,000. To these must be added the
7,000 tank wagons which the company
uses In 8omo parts of the country In
order to reach the retailer and the mil
lions of boxes and bottles In which tho
by-products of the refineries nro sent
to market. Incidentally Rockefeller
and his associates control 38,000 miles
of railway.
The Standard Oil Company owns
thrco of the greut banks of New York
and two of the lending trust compa
nies, besides holding stock In many
others. The stock In tho threo banks
ana two trust companies bns to-day a

these Investments approximates $150,

In our growing apprehensions of the

It Is no longer as the frivolous snun

ters his life away among perfumed
petals, that he tlgures. Tho beauty Las
Its functions, and subserves a vital pur
pose In the economy of nnture. Like
the bee, the butterfly Is a workman In
Owl's garden, and his mission to carry
pollen from blossom to blossom, thus
fertilizing and cross-fertilizing tho
seeds. Without these winged messen
gers of the air more than half the flow

ated. Not only do they add to tho color
and loveliness of summer's pageantry,
but assist In Its creation. Does It not
ripen the Interest of the spectacle to
realize that the swarm of opalescent
Insects one sees In the meadows, eddy
ing In the golden sunlight, rising and
falling In lazy abandon, swaying
drowsily on the clover blossoms or bal
ancing on tho petals of tho new-opened

WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY.
A aWia&jss SBvjBN
wMpI
C.-QIIE observance of (he birthday anniversary of George Washington hits be
eome more a national tribute to the spirit of patriotism than a memorial
ti to a pursonnllty. The name of Washington Is linked liullssolubly with tho
revolution out of which sprung the republic of the United States, but the union
of the innn and the event Is so close that they are practically Interchangeable
In the thought of the present timo and will become more so as the years roll on.
The character of Washington happily lends Itself readily to this pliaso of
Idealisation. There were no peaks of pre-eminent genius In his equipment as a
man and conversely no vales of Insignificance, and this admirable and unlquo
equipoise of power and attainment qualified him for the conspicuous place ho
occupies In the hearts of the American people. Tho scrutiny of careful historians
Into tho details of his life and tha conclusions of students of his character hare
been unable to frame a more comprehensive or exact expression of the sum of
his Individuality than that contained In the familiar lines
First In War,
First In Peace,
First in the hearts of his countrymen.
These words have become no common because of frequent, end often flippant,
utterance, that their deep significance haa become blunted by their adapted ap
plications. Washington was first in war, and In a war that won the freedom
of this nation, because he achieved the distinction through a demonstration of ex
ceptional courage, fortitude and persistence. lie waa proof ag-alnst ubsticlcs,
defeats, the heaviest blows of his adversaries, the dlsriiptlng'plots of his jealous
enemies at home, the strongest combinations ofopposlng factors of every kind,
because be kept before hint alwnya the Inestimable prise of a nation's liberty which
ultimate victory would achieve. He was first In peace because his unconquera
ble spirit in war was no less conspicuous than the wisdom and prudence of his
counsel In matters of 'state, and because he cemented the trust of his fellow
men which he hod won on the field of battle by a display of rare atatesmanshlp
when peace settled over tho laud. lie was first In tho hearts of his countrymen
and has alwaya been first because of the sterling honesty of his nature In all
things, which resisted the most subtle and specious temptations and .remnlnod
pure and uncorrupted to the end.
There have undoubtedly been many greater generals than Washington and
many greater statesmen and men who bavo won a greater popular following, but
there have been few men In history who' have developed a more conspicuous
harmony of these three distinguishing marks of greatness. The lack of conspicu
ous superiority In any one trait, however, has given rise during the century to
many discussions as to the real grandeur of Washington's Individuality. He has
been represented as everything from "a rather commonplace, man mado prominent
by tho force of circiimttnnces" to "ono of the supremely great characters of
the world's history." Ills critics have ven gone so far as to ascribe the popular
admiration merely to a "conventional acquiescence" In a patriotic fancy. It Is
well that such u dissimilarity of views has been expressed, becauso they have re
sulted In clear-cut comparisons which hnvo supported the extreme measure of
praise accorded to Washington,
The solemn, well-weighed verdict of tho historians has fixed forever the sta
bility and justice of Washington's fame. He Is worthy the place of patron
saint of the patriotism of the nation.
FROM WASHINGTON'S GARMENT.

A pair of pearl and gold cuff buttons
which In tho form of waistcoat buttons
were owned by George Washington and
worn by him upon the occasion of his In
auguration as President and also at his
marriago to Martha Dandrhlge Custls,
are the valued possession of Prof. Leo
nldas Polk Wheat of Virginia, now liv
ing In Washington. Thesu modest but
greatly cherished relics of Washington
aro among tho few personal belongings
of Gen. Washington that havo not been

purchased or otherwise obtained by tho
government.
Prof. Wheat Is a member of one of tha
oldest families In Clark County, Virglnlu,
where resides a colony of descendants of
tho Washington family. The buttons
wcro presented to Prof. Wheat by Henry
Luwellyn Dangerfield Lewis, great-great-nephew
of Gen. Washington.
Mr. Lewis was Prof. WheatVcloest
friend and neighbor from 1878 until tho
time of the former's death, several years
ago, says this New York Herald. It
was when Mr, Lewis was arranging for
the transfer to the United States gov
ernment of something like $40,000 worth
of Washington relics, which hud been
purchased by a special act of Congress,
that Prof, Wheat came into possesxlon
of tho buttons. During the process of
packing Mr. Lewis, with characteristic
generosity, invited his neighbor to select
from the collection some souvenir, Prof,
Wheat selected two buttons from Wash
ington's waistcoat and had them mado
Into cuff buttons.
Prof, Wheat obtained from Mr. Lewis
and bis wife a written guaranty that tho
buttons had been the property of Georgo
Washington and hud been worn by him
on several state occasions, notably at
hla Inauguration as the first President of
tho United States, and also at his wed
ding. The buttons are of unique design, and
In diameter about tho size of a silver
half dollar. Evidence of their authen
ticity Is engraved on tho reverso side nt
the buttons, and reads as follows; "Leo.
P. W. from II. L. I). L. Property of
George Washington."
Washington Was Wealthy.
One Is not apt in these dayH to remem
ber that In this early period WuHhlngtou
made himself one of the (urgent landhold
ers in tho country, nor that when ho
died ho was worth over half a million
dollars. Yet wo find that he bequeathed
to. his heirs the following acreage, with

Kven tho marriage of Washington wus
consistent with the thrifty habits that
marked all his doings. The widow (Jus
tls added to his estute $100,000, besides
giving him a helpmeet just as prudent
In her financial transactions as wus he.
After the marriage, ond their Htrttlciiient
at Mount Vernon, "nluo miles from any
church" or social hublutlon, Wushlngton
gave himself wholly to tilling of the soil
and quiet service In the Virginia Legisla
ture. Had No Personal Ambition.
Throughout Washington's career in tho
Revolution It will be seeti that he had lit
tle opportunity fur personal distinction
an a commander. He wus an unlucky
general; fortune did not seem to smile
upon him and he had more defeats than
victories. Long Island, White Plains,
Ilrandywlne, Gennantown all thesu
wero defeuts; soino of them disastrous.
Monmouth was little more than a drawn
battle, while to offset these, Trenton and
Princeton, while brilliant In conception
and execution and great In effect, were
so small In the numbers engaged that
they amounted to little more than sue-1
cessful skirmishes. And besides they '
were with Hessians and not with Hrltlsh
regulars. Yorktown was, Indeed, a great
ami crowning success, but It was wou
with superior numbers and the honors
had to bo divided with the French.
