President Speaks to Students on the Father of tug Country. Followiug is the address delivered by President MeKiuley before the Faculty and students of the University of Pennsylvania, on Washington's birth day Mr. Provost, Ofllcers and Students of the University of Pennsylvania, Ladies and Gentlemen. We celebrate here, as in every part of our country, the birthday of a great patriot who assured the beginning of a great Nation. This day belongs to patriotism and the people. Rut in a certain sense the University of Penn sylvania has special reasons for honor ing the 22d of February. For over half a century, with ever-iucreaaiug popu larity and public recognition, you have observed the occasion, either as a holi day or with patriotic exercises, partici pated in by Faculty and students. No other American institution of learning has a prouder title to the veneration of Washington's memory than this, whose foundation was laid in Colonial days, nearly fifty years before Pennsylvania became a State; whose progress was largely due to the activity of Franklin and other zealous and far-seeing patri ots, and w hose Trustees were on terms of sufficient intimacy with Washing ton to congratulate him upon his elec tion to the Presidency and to receive from him a notable reply which has passed into the history of the times. Washington, too, belonged to the Brotherhood of the Alumni of this in stitution, having accepted thedegrte of Doctor of Laws conferred upon hira in 17S3 an honor doubtless the more appreciated when he recalled the events which gave him close and peculiar at tachment to the City of Philadelphia. No wonder that your great Universi ty has made the 2d of February its most impressive ceremonial and de voted its annual exercises to special tributes to the memory of the first President of the United Btates and the patriotic thems which cluster thickly about Lis liie and work. I rejoice with you in the day. I rejoice, also, that throughout this broad land the birth day of the patriot leader is faithfully observed and celebrated with an en thusiasm and earnestness which testify to the virtue and gratitude of the American people. It would not be possible in the com paratively short time to which these exercises must to-day be limited to fol low Washington in his long and dis tinguished services at the head of the Army and as Chief Executive of the Government. My purpose is timply to call to your attention a few points in Washington's career w hich have singu larly impressed me and refer to some passages in his writings that seem peculiarly appropriate for the guidance of the people, who, under our form of government, have in their keeping the well beingcf the country.' In its entirety Washington's public life is as familiar to the American student as the bwtory tf the United State. T iiey are associated in holy and indissoluble bond. The one is In complete without the other. Wash ington's character and achievements have been a part of the schoolbooks of the Nation for more than a century, and have moved American youth and American manhood to aspire to the highest ideals of responsible citizen ship. With enduring fame as a great soldier, the world has recognized his opal accomplishments in the paths of statesmanship. As a soldier he was peerless in the times in w hich be lived, and as a statesman his rank is fixed with the most illustrious in any country or in any age. But with all our pride in Washing ton, we not infrequently fail to give him credit for his marvelous genius as a constructive statesman. W e are con stantly in danger of losing eight of the sweep and clearness oi m cdiuicucu- sion. wnieu accurai-iy the nrnhlem .f the remote future and kne how lo formulate the best means for their solution, it wascommutcu to Washington to launch our Ship of .... . . . . ,i . State, lie naa neiiiier yrraucui, w predecessor to help him. He welded the scattered, and at times antagonist ic Colonies into an indestructible Un ion and inculcated the lesson of mutual forbearance and frateruity which have cemented the States Into still closer bonds of interest and sympathy. From the hour when Washington de clared in his trglnia home mat ne would raise a thousand men and equip them at his own expense to march to the defense of Boston, he became the masterful tpirit of the Continental Army and the mightiest single factor in the continent's struggle for liberty and independence. Apparently with out personal ambition, spurniog royal honor when they were suggested to him, he faSdlled n still more glorious destiny as the guiding fire of a civili xaliou freer and mightier than the his tory of man had ever known. Though Washington s exaitea cnar- acier aud the most striking acts of his .riiii.nt record are too familiar to be recounted here, where so maiy time , they have recetveu eioqumi aou ut i Somerset SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY, served eulogy, yet often u the story is retold it engages our love and admira tion and interest We love to recall his noble unselfishness, his heroic purposes the power of his magnificent personal ity, his glorious achievements for man kind, and his stalwart and unflinching devotion to independence, liberty, and union. Those cai not be too often told or be too familiarly known. A slaveholder himself, he yet haled slavery and provided In his will for the emancipation of his slaves. Not a col lege graduate, he was always enthusi astically the friend of liberal education He used, on every suitable occasion to impress upon Congress and the coun try the importance of a high standard of general education, and characterized the diffusion of know ledge as the most essential element of strength in the system of free government. That learn lug should go with liberty and that liberty is never endangered so long as it isin the keepiugof intelligent citizens was the ideal civic code which his fre- queut utterances never failed to enf jrce Aud how reverent always was this great man, how prompt and generous his recognition of the guiding hand of Divine Providence iu establishing and controlling the destinies of the Colo nies aud the Republic Again and again iu his talks, in his letters, in his state papers, and formal addresses he reveals this side of his character, the force of which we still feel, and I trust we always will. At the very bight of his success and reward, as he emerged from the Revo lution, receiving by unauimous ac claim the plaudits of the people and commanding the respect and admira tion of the civilized world, he did not forget that his first official act as Presi dent should be fervent supplication to the Almighty Being who rules the uni verse. It is He who presides in the councils of nations and whose provi dential aid can supjdy every human defict. It is His benediction which we most want and which can and w ill con secrate the liberties and happiness of the jieople of the United States. With His help the instruments of the citi zens employed to carry out their pur poses will succeed in the functions al lotted to public life. But Washington on this occasion went further and spoke for the people, assuming that he but voiced the senti ment of the young Natiou in thus mak ing faith in Almighty God and reliance upon His favor and care one of the strong foundations of the Government then inaugurated. And. proceeding. Washington states th reasons for his Ix'lief in language so exalted that it should be graven deep upon the miud of every patriot. No people can be bound to acknowl edge aud adore the invisible baud which conducts the affairs of man more than the people of the United htates. "Every step by which they have ad vanced to the character of an inde pendent Natiou seems to have been distinguished by some token of provi dential agency, and In the important revolution just accomplished in the system of their united Government, the tranquil deliberations and volunta ry consents of so many distinct com munities from which the events re sulted can not be compared with the means by which most governments have been established without some re- , turn of pious gratitude, along with an humble anticipation of the future blessings which the same seems to presage. 1 he renections arising out or the present crises have forced them selves strcugly upon my mind. You will join me, I trust, in thinking that there are none under the influence of which the proceedings of a new and free Government are most auspicl'Hisly commenced." The Senate of the Un ited States made fitting response of its appreciation of this portion of the Pres ident's inaugu ral address when its members declared that', 'A review of the many signal iu staucta of Divine intervention in favor of the country claims our most pious gratitude," and that they were "inev itably led to acknowledge and adore the Great Arbiter of the Universe, by whom empires rise and fall." Congress added its uiction by pro viding that "after the oath shall have been administered to the President, he, attended by the Vice President aud the members of the Senate and House of Representatives, proceed to St. Paul's Chapel to hear Divine services per formed by the Chaplain of Congress, already appointed." Not alone upou days of thanksgiving or in times of trial should we, as a peo ple, remeoiber and follow the example thus set by the fathers, but never in our future as a Nation should we forget the great moral and religious princi ples which they enunciated and de fended as their most precious heritage. In an age of greit activity of industrial and commercial strife and of perplex ing problems we should never abandon the simple faitli in Almighty God as recognized in the name of the Ameri can people by Washington and the first Congress. But if a timely lesson is to be drawa from the opiuious of Washington on his assuming the office of President, tx also is much practical beuefit to be derived from the present rpplication of portions of his farewell address, a document iu which Washington laid down princi ples which appeared to him "all-Important to the permanence of your felic ity as a people." In that address Washington con tends, in part, ( 1 ) for the promotion of Institutions of learning; (2) for cher ishing the public credit; (S) for the observance of good faith and justice toward all nations. One hundred years ago free schools were little known in the United States. There were excellent schools for the well-to-do and charitable institutions for the instruction of boys and girls without means, but the free Public School open alike to the children of the rich and poor and sup,orted by the State awaited creation and develop ment. The seed planted by the fathers soon bore fruit. Free schools were the necessary supplement of free men. The wise aud liberal provisions for public instruction by the fathers, second only in enect to meir struggle ior iue iuuc- jKjuuriiuo uu viwiwu v. k ESTABLISHED were destined at no distant date to pro- As the country ha? grown, education ioeierea Dy me State, bas kept pace with it. Rich as are the collegiate en dowments of the Old World, none of them excel in munificence the gifts made to educational institutions by the people of the United Statea and by their governments in conformity with "the influence which sound learning has on religion and manners, on gov ernment, liberty an! laws." Adams and Madison, Jefferson and Hamilton, Sherman and Trumbull. Hancock, Jay, Marshall, the Clintons, and many others of our early statesmen were scarcely less earnest and eloquent than Washington himself in pleading the cause of sound aud liberal educa tion for the people. Nor does this seem surprising when we reflect that the truest aims and wor thiest ambition of education is not fin ished scholarship for the favored few, but the elevation of a high standard of citizenship among the many. I have had peculiar satisfaction in the fact that Washington in those early days, when engrossed with mighty govern mental problems, did not forget his contributions for the education of the poor, and left in his will a bequest to be dedicated to free public Instruction. Nothing better tells the value he placed upou knowledge as an essential to the highest and best citizenship, How priceless is a liberal education ! In itself what a rich endowment! It is not impaired by ag, but its value In creases with use. No one can employ it but its rightful owner. He alone can illus-trate its worth and enjoy its re wards. It can not be inherited or pur chased; it must be acquired by Individ ual effort. It can be secured only by perseverance and self-denial. But it is free as the air we breathe. Neither race nor nationality, uor sex can debar the earuest seeker for its possession. It is not exclusive, but inclusive in the broad est aud best sense. It is within the reach of all who really want it and are brave enough to struggle for it. The earnest rich and the worthy poor are equal and friendly rivals in its pursuit, and neither is exempted from any of the sacrifices necessary for its acquisi tion. The key to its title is not the bright allurements of rank and station, but the simple watchword cf work and study. A liberal education is the prize of In dividual industry. It is the greatest blessing that a man or woman can en joy when supported by virtue, moral ity, und noble aims. But the acquire ment of learning Iu our schools and colleges seems so easy that we are apt lo underestimate its value and let the opportunity to win it "dip by until, re gretfully, we flud'thaf, the chance Is gone. The rudiments must be ingraft ed iu jouth, or, with rare exceptions, they are forever lost. Life to most is a struggle, and there is little time for the contemplation of the theoretical when the practical is pressing at every hand. Stern duty monopolizes our time. The command of others controls our preferences and often defeats our intentions. By stead ily adhering to a firm purpose amid the activities of life we may keep in touch with the literature of the day, but to go back to the classics or to grapple with the foundations of the sciences is beyond the power of most men when they have entered upon their chosen business or profession. One's mental fighting, often a hand-to-hand conflict with obstacles and temptations, is a battle of his own, a campaigu whose motive force Is indi viduality, rather than circumstances or luck. Work in the mental world is as real as that in the physical world. Nor has any prescription yet been found to take the place of application and self denial and personal struggles which have given to the world its greatest leaders and noblest achievements. "Cherish the public credit" How much, both of reflection and Instruc tion, is combined in this simple admo nition of the Father of his Country. The United States emerged from the bitter and prolonged struggle of the Revolutionary War exhausted finan cially, and with a hundred existing perplexities rnd difficulties which re mained to be solved before tti3 finan cial credit of the new Nation cou d be established at home aud demonstrated abroad. But Washington knew how to gather around him aud place in positions of lue greatest trust the able financiers and economists, whose names the coun try still venerates and whose great work it still enjojs. Hamilton and Morris and Gallatin and others were successful in establishing the Treasury and inaugurating the financial oper tionsof this Government upon princi ples which recognized that the most enduring basis of National credit was National honor, aud that whatever other assets we might Lave or acquire, that was Indispensable, first, last, and all the time, if we would cherish the public credit. We have been fully re warded all along our history by adher ing to the principles of Washington in keeping the public faith. Before half a century had passed we had paid off our National debt and had a balance in the Treasury. Another debt, the great est in our history, was Incurred in the Civil War for the preservation of the Uuiou. But this did not exceed the resources or discourage the intentions of the Araericau people. There were those who suggested repudiation, but the people repudiated them and went on unchecked, discharging the obliga tions of the Government ia the coin of honor. From the day our flag was unfurled to the present hour, no stain of a just obligation violated has yet tarnished the American name. This must and will be as true in the future as it has been in the past There will be proph ets of evil and false teachers. Some part of the column may waver and wander away from the standard, but there will ever rally around it a mighty majority to preserve it stainless and In honor. At no point in his Administration does Washington appear in grander proportions than when he enunciates his ideas in regard to the foreign policy of the Government: "Ob-it rve good fuitb and justice toward all nations; 1827. MARCH 2. 1898. cultivate peace and harmony with all ; religion and morality enjoin this con duct. Can it be that good policy does not equally enjoin it? It will be worthy of a free, enlightened, and, at no dis tant period, a great Nation, to give to mankind the magnanimous and too novel example of a people always guid ed by an exalted justice and benevo lence." To-day, nearly a century from Wash ington'a death, we turn reverentially to study the leading principles of that comprehensive chart for the guidance of the people. It was his unflinching, immovable devotion to these percep tions of duty which, more than any thing else, mad a him what he was and contributed so directly to make us what we are. Following the precepts of Washington, we can not err. The wise lessons in government which he left us it will be profitable to heed. He seems to have grasped all possible conditions and pointed the way safely to meet them. He has established danger sig nals all along the pathway of the Na tion's march. He has warned us against false lights. He has taught us the true philosophy of "a perfect Union" and ehown us the graphic dan gers from sectionalism and wild and unreasonable party spirit He has em phasized the necessity, at all times, for the exercise of sober and dispassionate judgment Such a judgment, my fel low-citizens, is the best safeguard in calm and tranquil events, and rises su perior and triumphant above the storms of woe and peril. We have every incentive to cherish the memory and teachings of Wash ington. His wisdom and foresight have been confirmed and vindicated after more than a century of experience. His best eulogy is the work he wrought; bis highest tribute is the great ltepub lic which he and his compatriots found ed. From four millions, we have grown to more than seventy millions of peo ple, while our progress In industry, learning and the arts has been the won der of the world. Whnt the future will be depends upon ourselves, and that that future will bring still greater blessi'igs to a free people I can not doubt With educa tion and morality in their homes, loy alty to the underlying principles of free government in their hearts, aud law aud justice fostered and exemplified by those intrusted with public administra tion, we will contiuue to enjoy the re spect of mankind and the gracious favor of Almighty God. Ttie priceless op portunity Is ours to demonstrate anew the enduring triumph of American civ ilization and to help in the progress and prwperity of the land we love. A Clever Trick.

Horizontal liues across the fore head are found even in children who are rickety or idiots, aud beiug out in the sun with the eyes unshaded will produce them prmaneutly, but they are natural at 40 or earlier. Vertical lines between the eyes de note thought and study, since deep concentration contracts the eyebrows ; grief and worry produce the same eif.-ct, and frequently repeated either leaves a permanent fold in the skin.

There are also two pillars, one on either side of the room, which are called the telephone columns, and a person speaking in a very low tone near one may be dis tinctly hear! by anyone standing near the opposite pillar. Yesterday a mem ber's secretary was leaning against the pillar on the south side of the hall, when he heard a voice say : "Oh, dear, what shall I do? My skirt la falling off find I haven't got a piu?' The young fellow glsDced around, saw no one near him, but observed two young women near the telephone pillar opposite Instantly grasping the situ ation, he gruffly said in a lo v tone : "Sew it on or use a hatpin. Hi beard a slight scream, saw two young women look about the hall in a startled fashion, and, observing no one was near, the one In distress exclaimed: "Did you ever?" 'No, I never," replied the secretary as gruffly as before, "I use buttons." This was too much for the young women, and they precipitately fled. Washington Times.

Wash Shirt Waists. The best shirt-makers have sent out their patterns for th summer, and there is little or no difference from last year's styles. The sleeves are smaller, and there is perhaps ft trifle less full ness in the front. Yokes ftre made square or pointed iu the back, as is most becoming. A plain band finishes the neck, so that either a turn-down or high collar can be worn. The prefer ence is as yet for the heavier wash ma terial.', such as Madras and duck, and judging from the samples of fancy white materials, the white shirts are to be as ftshionable as they were last year. The tain materials are not among the new shades. When they are used they will be made up in the fitted and more fan cy waists.

Didn't Do it A'ain- A ne mKuher of the Smate was complaining to an old member of some of the difficulties he was encountering. ' For one thing," he said, "these cews- piper fellows don't always get things traight I don't mean to accuse them of carelessness or of intentional mis representation, but now and then some remarkable stories are printed about ne at home." "You'll get used to that," replied the veteran. "That won t hurt That s prt of your apprenticeship. I'vebeen all along there. Let me tell you a little x penence of mine. Soon after I came here I picked up a papc-r from my State, aud saw it asserted in a letter from Washington that ray colleague and my self had met and arranged a slate, and that all the patronage for the State would be distributed according to that arrangement There was no warrant for the statement, and I made inquiries for the correspondent He came to Be- m?, and proved to be a bright and most agreeable young man. I asked him for his authority, and he pleasantly refused to give it, but said that he had every faith in his informant To that I re plied that all I would ask then would he the privilege of denying the story putting my statement against the other. He said that was only fair, and he would aitend to the matter. When the correction appeared it read something Ii-ethis: 'Your eorrespondent'a story about the deal between Senator and his colleague, by which the patronage of the State Is to be divided between them, has raised quite ft stir here. There can be no question as to its abso lute truth. But Senator , who has evidently been rattled by the publica tion, now solemnly assures your corre spondent that h had nothing whatever to do with the deal.' After that I went slow on corrections." N.

Put fine, well-rotted manure on the plot and leave It oa the surface until early spring; then spade it into the giound, mixing it well with the soil by raking with a pronged hoe. All lumps should be re moved, and the fiaer the manor the better. Shredded fodtler U one of the best coarse foods that can be used for cattle, considering its coet, but one fact con nected with the use of corn fodder, hay and other bulky foods is that grain should also be allowed. The bulky foods will reduce the cost because smaller quantities of the concentrated foods will answer the purpose, but grain should always be a portion of the daily ration if the best results are expected . The combination of grain and bulky food will be found superior to either grain or fodder when but one kind is used. The depth at which seeds should be planted depends on the texture of the soil. Ou stiff, heavy clay soil the cov ering may be light, but on sandy soils a deeper covering should be given. Milk for the calf should never be boiled, though it may be heated to 140 j degrees. It should always be warm, when given to the calf, A soon as the calf begins to eat hay it should bave finely-cut clover, and if the clover is scalded over night fed in the morning warm, with corumeal sprinkled over it, the calf wi.I thrive on the mixture. Rhubarb is one of the plants that be gin to grow early. One who has tried the method suggests that over each plant should be set ft barrel with both ends out If the winter is severe the barrel should be filled with straw and manure banked around the outside. In the spring the straw is removed, when the leave will gro up to the light, making long and slender stalks. There Is no advantage in large litters of pigs, as some sows can only supply a limited amount of nourishment, and the pigs will uot grow rapidly unless it be three or four of the youngest, the others becoming runts. Young pigs req lire a large amount of nourishment in proportion to size, and when a week old, if the litter U large, the sow will be taxed too severely, and some of the pigs may gradually fall of. It will pay in such cases to destroy the weakling at the start Breeders of merino sheep are now en deavoring to breed more for size than formerly. In breeding for wool ex clusively they have reduced the size, aud now they wish to combine wool and more mutton In the same breed if it is possible to do so. Nearly all of the noxious weeds and insects in this country were seut to us by Europe, iucluding the ox-eye daisy, Russian thistle, cabbage worm and Gypsy moth.

The latter is more soluble, but it contains material that is not always desired, and which, though of little or no value to the farmer, costs him some thing, however. There is no longer any doubt a to the efficacy of spraying as a protection to fruit trees, but it is work that must be done carefully and by experienced persons. The great fault on the part of those who spray is that they are dis posed to save as much labor as possible, and consequently neglect to do th work frequently and at the proper times. Begin early aud when spiay ing see that every twig receives a por tion of the substance used, as it is un safe to allow even the smallest space on a tree to escape treatment Scales are cheap and every farmer should be supplied with them, so a to weigh all loads, whether of goods bought or sold, which will better ena ble the farmer to keep accounts. When ft field ceases to be fertile it is a waste of time and labor to cultivate it for a market crop, a the cost will be greater than the receipts. Either allow t to recuperate by plowing under some kind of green crops or expend a sum -u.Bcieut to restore its fertility by u-ing artificial fertilizers. Wheu a few warm days come in win ter the bees will come out They then bring the dead bees out, clean the hive aud ventilate It. The hive should be in a cool place now, in order to pro tect from too great an increase of ani mal heat, yet should not be so exposed as to cause the destruction of the bees should the weather suddenly become severely cold. Now that the frost is coming out of the ground, and the roads are cut up with the mud and slush coming to the hubs of wagons, farmers will put higher value on good roads, but next summer, when the roads are dry, they will consider low taxes preferable to making the roads better.
