Curiously enough, the original sug

should have come, with every mani

Nothing could mark the world’s prog-

clearly than these circumstances.
Many accounts of Washington's
death, differing In detail, have been
published by the standard historians,
and many theories have been advanec-
to the cause of it. That he
caught a severe cold, and that this
ran into the disease of the throat
walch was then known as quinsy, are
among the gettled facts: but whether
his life might not have been pro-
longed but for the copious bleeding
to which he was subjected is still
open to debate. The only official
record we have, perhaps, is that kept
by the secretary, Tobias Lear. In
a letter to John Adams, he refers to
the fatal ending to the disease and
aot to the treatment. This letter runs

When the project for a centennial

was proposed to re-enact this entire

a catafalque borne to the site of the

a loud protest was ralsed, on the
ground that it would turn a solemn

George Ade’s Gum Arabic,
When George Ade wintered in
Egypt it amused him a good deal to
seo the serious way in which his fel-
jow tourists took their smattering of
Egyptian archaeology, of the Arable
tongue and of the ancient Egyptian
dynasties. They had picked up all
this flimsy knowledge In a week or
two's reading, but they acted as
though it was the precious fruit of a
lifetime's study.
At Assouan, one fine day, a young
woman from St. Joseph complained
that she could not understand the
Arabic of her guide. To the crowd
that encircled her she pointed out the
guide-a bent old fellow with a white
beard-—and she said bitterly that, af.

guide could not converse.
