GEOKGE WASHINGTON The rrollo of Some Continentals at ' Valley Forgo. E. W. B. Conning, of Slockbridge, writes as follows : In the year 15 I was traveling in Western Virginia over the old National road from Bal timore. I was one of three inside passenger, my companions being two elderly gentlemen of fine appearance and general information. A stripp ing and an entire stranger to the country through which we were pass ing. I listened with great interest to their general conversation. One of the gentlemen avowed himself the son of a Revolutionary officer a Penns3Tl vanian who fought at Germantown, knew Washington intimately and was with the army during its memorable winter's encampment at Valley Forge. When a boy he had often heard his father tell an anecdote of our great commander that occurred at that time, which he proceeded to relate. It was known throughout the army (and is now a matter of history) that Washington was an exceedingly methodical man, having a stated time for every action, public and private, of his daily life. At his headquarters at Valley Forge it was proclaimed in general orders that the hours between II a. m. and 2 i i. was sacred to the General's privacy and must not be interrupted by "any caller, except upon businessbf the utmost import ance. This strict ordinance became one day the topic of conversation at the mess table of some young officers, one of whom wagered ten dollars that not a man at the table dared ven ture to disturb the General in hia rooms during those hours. It was taken in a frolicsome spirit by one of them, who was to try the experiment within a week. Having assumed so dubious a task its imprudent undertaker proceeded to contrive ways and means wnereby to accomplish it. To avoid unpleas ant consequences the attempt must find justification in some occasion of momentous importance. This he pre tended to find in a rumor just then prevalent in the camp of an intended surprise of the army by the British at that time occupying Philadelphia. This was true. A night attack had been planned, but was averted by in formation given by a Quakeress. Said rumor he would make his apology for breach of orders, excul pating himself on the ground of its intrinsic moment and the assumed ignorance of the commander-in-chief, so that the worst he could have to fear would be a kind rebuke for over weening patriotic zeal. He accord ingly concocted his story in set phrase and went albeit with much misgiving to headquarters. The General's room was at the end of a long corridor, in which an armed sen try was walking. Being promptly challenged by that official, something like the following ensued: "I wish to see the General immedi ately." "You cannot, sir: you must know the orders." "Yes, I know them, but I have a grave communication which I wish to make to him forthwith." "Can't help it, sir; you must come after 2 o'clock. I have my orders and can't break them." "Friend, suppose I know of a mat ter of vital interest to you, to me, to him, to the whole army, which an hour may render fatal to us all ; don't you see that such a tiling overrides your orders and that the conse quences of delay will be laid at your door? I must see him and tell him." The sentry Mas staggered by his earnestness and the apparent pres sure of the occasion, ami to the ap plicant's continued urgency at length said: "All orders are to permit no interruption of the General till 2 o'clock. I dare not knock to announce you. If tilings are as you say and you are willing to take the responsi bility, go and do so, and the Lord save both of us." The officer went to the door and knocked. No answer. Again: still all silent within. His heart thumped heavily and he was more than half minded to forego his purpose. But that anticipated laugh at the mess table over his failure spurred him to one more attempt. Immediately fol lowing the third knock a sound as of a cli2ir suddenly and violently pushed over a bare floor was heard, "followed by a heavy tramp of boots toward the door. With a quick jerk of the bolt itflev open and Washington, with head thrown back and face flushed with anger, stood before him, with the exclamation, "What does this mean, sir?" The culprit attempted to summon up his concocted story, but the expression of his interroga tor's face, such as he had never seen before, and the access of a sudden consciousness of his frivolty made him stammer in utter forgetfulness of his well-digested words. But not for long, for Washington cut him short with Begone ! and consider yourself under arrest, sir." As he turned to sneak away he heard these further words shot at the sentry: "Do you knowvour orders?" "Yes, General, but" "Then obey them, and if this oc curs again I will thrust your bayonet through your cursed body." Then succeeded a bang of the door more heavy footfalls and the usual silence. What were the ultimate re sults to the officer of this escapade my informant did not know. He won his bet, but was accustomed to say that he would rather encounter a drum-head court-martial than to have faced that look and act of Washington. The Small Koy's Easily on Cats. Cats is an insect what has no wings and it has a long tale. It looks like fish wurms, only fish wurms hasn't got no hair on it like cats has. Cats is black and sets on back fentses and bu..t. its wings which it hasn't got any. Cats 'ts like locusts 'bout this, 'skept locusts 'es got wings, an' cats waves it talze 'hove its head, and don't set on trees. Cats was a Nam eriken invenshttn made by a 3ft-. Pharaoh, of Egypt, Illinois, 'bout one thousand years ago or so ; I expect it was so, or mebbe more so. Anyway, this man didn't get no patent on cats, and they was copied by some fulish men who carried 'em to New Yorick where "they have ruled things at night with a tight pair o' strings, fur sum daze. Cats has a hump back with long bristles onto it. It has a pair o' lungs, which extends clean back to its tale, whitch is long. It uses all o' these yere lungs in singin' low, sweet melodies to the pail, watery mune, 'bout oue o'clock in the morning. Cats sumtimes sets on the comb of a slippery roof, an' sizes sobs an' squalls an' strokes each other's whiskers. Cats uses two legs to set on, one to stand on, an' t'other to fan his partner with. I know two cats whitch did this on our wood shed. I guess they did it because the)' thought they would shed. When 1 say this, I don't mean wood shed, but would shed. I know they got up there to shed for Jack and mefound half a hatful o' catfur, an' a pocketful o claws there the next mornin'. Wonder why they don't shed in the day time: Must be the mune had sumlhin' to do it? Cats, unlike the other ittEecks, don't have no btingers. The bum belbee has. 1 onc't caught a bum belbee, an' give it to a cat. Cats don't like bees, espeshly them what has splinters in their talze, which this had. The thing stung all the way down, an' half way back again; that cat run about seventeen miles an' then dropped down by the shaddy side of a haystack an' quickly, with out warnin' he hastily died a sudden death all at once, for want o' breath. Onet when Ju-k an' me was play in' lishiif in our well with a tom-cat tied to a string. Jack got hurt. He had the cat down in the well, waitin' fur a bite, an' when his back was turned it craw led up the brick curb an' clawed the Kip oitten him. After that .lack didn't fule with cats. I once knew a man who was wicked enough to throw a stove lid through a big tom-cat at night, and the very next day hi heard that his grand mother had broken her leg in New Orleans and several other places, whitch proves how wicked and sin ful it is to disturb the critters; and that'- sill I know about cats." l'rfiii:i:im in Jitpun, The crematory stands a little up.irt from the main toad, a building of a single story, with an innocent-looking, tall chimney that might lie con nected with a pottery or a small iron foundry. The business is always conducted privately, and there are few in Tokio, except those who are professionally engaged," who have w itnessed the process. Hut arrange ments made by the omnipotent For eign Minister opened the doors and secured a lespectful welcome. We were first received in tho house of the manager, where tea was served in priceless porcelain cups of Kutani ware. The iurnace, if so imposing a name may he used for a process so bimple, s-tood a few paces from the house. On entering it there was nothing to be seen but what appeared to be two butter-tubs resting upon a few faggots of wood. There were sev eral cavities about two inches deep and one foot long in the stone floor, and these were tilled with shavings. According to municipal law, no burn ing is to be done before U :'60 in the evening. It still wanted ten minutes to that time; but in the circum stances the manager thought he would be safe to anticipate the hour, and the shavings were fired. One oi the men, kneeling before the growing flame, fanned it with a piece of wood. It caught the dry faggots, greedily licked the sides of the tubs, rose high ii. the air, and then, with a horrible thud, the head of the barrel burst outward. Quk'k as thought, the man seized a large piece of wood, lying by in readiness, and hid from sight what ever may have protruded. It is the boast of the skillful cremator that under his supervision tho'contents of the barrel are never exposed to view. A heavy matting of wet straw is laid over the length of the barrel before the tire is ignited. As the barrel is burned away this falls in and covers the body. In three hours the work is done. Everv particle of flesh is burned away, and there remains only the skeleton. The bones and the jc th lh? relatives collect and give uxiu rcpnlture.

David Dudley Field takes excep tion to the nomenclature of American geography. He says there may be a great deal of fitness or unfitness in names. To begin with, our continent I was misnamed. In selecting the ' name "America" a great wrong was done Columbus. The continent 1 should have been called "Columbia." . Now Americans are trying to makd j amend by singing "Hail. Columbia." ' Just think of some of tho wretched names selected for places in the United States. We have Tombstone, ' You Bet, Pop Corn, Cut Shin, Raw ' Hide, Skunk Lake, Dirt Tub, Jug j Tavern, Sawdust, Cow Skin and Cut 1 Off. Almost as bad taste was dis-, plaved in copying such old names as Babylon, Memphis, Cairo, Troy, ' Utica and byracuse. It would have been much better to have preserved more of the nomenclature of the red ' men. Nothing could be more appro-1 priate and pleasant to the ear than j Mississippi, Onoida, Michigan, Mo-: nongahela, Susquehanna, Moha..k, Idaho and Wyoming. Promptness in Business 3Ien. Promptness in everything that per tains to business is an absolute essen tial to success; the eleventh hour man, who is always dilatory and pro crastinating, may'drag out a precari ous and even a prolonged existence, but he will never achieve eminence in his calling or be anything more than an incubu3, clinging, like a veritable old man of the sea. to tho shoulders of his more enterprising neighbors and business associates. Procrastination is the thief of time, but a prompt business man is the noblest work of God. It is estimated that two larjre par ties given in Boston recently were j productive otthe distribution of ?200, 000 among artisans and others. Tfhst Parents Fear. Many persons especially parents object to quack nostrums as likely to engender or encourage a love for strong drink. They are right Bet ter to die of disease than of drunken ness. The use of Parker's Tonic does not involve this danger. It not only builds up tho system, curing all ail ments of tho stomach, liver and kid neys, but it stimulates without in toxicating and absolutely cures the appetite for liquor. MARKETS.
