ALE is the February sky,
And brief the midday's sunny hours;
The windswept forest seems to sigh
For the sweet time of leaves and flowers.
Yet has no month a prouder day,
Not even when the summer broods
O'er meadows in their fresh array,
Or autumn tints the glowing woods,
For this chill season now again
Brings, in its annual round, the mora
When, greatest of the sons of men,
Our glorious Washington was born,
Lo, where beneath an icy shield,
Calmly the mighty Hudson flows!
By snowclad fell and frozen field,
Broadening, the lordly river goes.
The wildest storm that sweeps through space
And rends the oak with sudden force,
Can raise no ripple on his face,
Or slacken his majestic course.
Thus, ‘mid the wreck of thrones shall live
Unmarred, undimmed, our hero's fame,
And years succeading years shall give
Increase of honors to his name.
Williams Cullen Bryant.
WASHINGTON
MONUMENT
and grand, the wonderful
erected In Washington, D.
C, by a grateful nation in recognl-
tion of the services of Gen. George
Washington, attracts thousands of vis-
ftors who annually throng the Na-
tion's Capital. The monument is of
white marble, 555 feet,
height, and. 55 feet, 114 Inches square
at the base. The cornerstone was laid
July 4, 1848. The United States gov-
ernment, under an act of congress,
took over the monument in 1876. An
elevator accommodates 35 passengers

gress had set the first Wednesday In
March, which fell on the fourth of the
month, as the date for “commencing
the proceedings under the sald Constl-
tution,” but when March 4 came neith-
er the senate nor the house could mus
ter a quorum and so could not orga-
nize. Only 13 members of the house
answered to thelr names,
Two summons were sent out to mem-
bers, but it was not until April 1 that
the house finally managed to count a
quorum. The senate obtained a quor-
um April 6, more than a month after
the appointed day. On the same day a
Joint session of the two houses was
held in the senate chamber. When
the electoral votes were opened and
counted, it was found Washington
was elected President, and John Ad
ams Vice President.
Washington and Adams were for
mally notified and this, together with
their journey to New York, delayed
the Inauguration until the thirtieth.

Right Plates or
Dishes for Soup
Fashion’s Decrees Will Be
Observed by Wise
Hostess.
With the return to style of soup
plates it is important for the home-
maker to be acquainted with the dif-
ferent kinds of soups best sulted to
being served in them, and in bouillon
cups, also called soup cups, The
very name, bouillon, Indicstes the
kind of soup originaly intended to
be served In these cups. The word
is French for a clear soup or a beef
broth. Fashion decreed for some
time that all varieties of soup should
be served in these bouillon cups, but
now there is a return to the more
proper method, of suiting the soup
to the dishes.
The chief distinction in sultabllity
of soups to serve in cups or in plates
is their density. Clear soups, even
though they may not be strained as
is bouillon or consomme, but have
gome solid pleces of ingredients In
them, are the sort to be served In
cups. Cream soups and heavy soups
such as chowders, oyster and other
stew soups, etc., should be served
in soup plates. When soup is in
cups, there is the inference that they
may be sipped as well as taken with
spoons. Heavy soups cannot be %o
sipped, and there should be no hint
in the way it Is served that such an
inconsistency is considered.

Mind Works Hard
in Split Second
Right Perspective May Be
Developed in Face
of Death.
Four employees of a large bullding
in New York recently dropped in a
defective elevator from the four
teenth floor to the basement, They
were fortunate enough to come
through alive,
That was an experience
learning something about. So the
newspapers sent reporters to ask
these people how it felt to take such
a drop, to know you were dropping,
and not be able to do anything but
walt for the inevitable crash and
probable mutilation or death,
“The whole thing seemed to take
only a split second,” sald one of the
survivors. “And,” he added confiden-
tially, *it was funny, but a lot of
things seemed to shoot through my
mind!"
We can Imagine what those things
were that shot through this man’s
mind In just a split second of time.
Perhaps he had left home that morn
ing without kissing his wife good-by.
He might have been harsh with his
boy. Or perhaps it was the word of
appreciation that was well
but which a perverse (Impulse pre

his mind in that split second.

him for a moment, a split moment to
be sure, out of the treadmill of daily |

to “cover.” It gave him for that split
second perspective and a sense of
values, the realization. that what
counts most in life Is what Is be-
tween us and those we love, and that
the most precious moments are those
in which we give something of our
selves to their happiness.
Lucky the person who could have
that “split second” of revelation—
