For several years the George Wash ington Memorial association has been before the public, and a great many prominent people have been Interested in it. This movement has received a new Impetus recently, plans having been made to give it a wider scope, which seem to insure complete success in the undertaking.

The George Washington Memorial association was incorporated in the city of Washington in September, ISOB. in response to a call made to the patriotic women of this country In August of the shtno year. The asso ciation determined to raise a fund for the ere'etk'h of a biilldlr ~ to be known as the George Wasliir con Memorial building, in commemoration of our first president and his interest in higher education in America. Many, perhaps all, know that Wash ington in his last will (July, 1799) pro- Tided $-.">,000 for the endowment of a university in the District of Columbia.

Their THE SHADOW PLATE FOR AERONAUTS, ships, like the vessels at sea, cannot be guided by guesswork, and an instru ment has been invented by which they are enabled at all times to follow the direction they have set out to pursue. This is done by means of the aeronaut [ ical shadow plate, which consists of a | circular celluloid plate ten inches in diameter, with a small pin ten inches high and one-eighth of an inch in di ameter mounted vertically on its cen ter. The plate is mounted in the for ward part of the upper plane and close to the aeronaut in such a posi tion that he can easily see it, the ma terial of the plane immediately under the shadow plate being removed. The sunlight, penetrating the celluloid, throws a shadoyv of the pin. The method of using it is as follows: The aeronaut takes from the chart the course he wishes to steer by. The shadow plate is then turned round un til the graduation for this course is in lit <• with the lubber point. A list of th • true bearings of the sun's shadow during the journey is fixed close to tli' shadow plate, together with a watch. The aeronaut as he flies ob serves the time by the watch and reads frc n the list the bearing of the sun's shadow for that time. The aeroplane is then steered round until the shadow of the central pin cuts this bearing on the shadow plate, when the aeronaut knows that he is going in the right di rection.

EveryUmly eUKUges in tins tuscluuliu£ occupation, ami. in trutti, it would be impossible to re.-ilst the temptation, tor the most beautiful wares are set forth in the most artistic manner, and the only way you can withstand the desire for possession is to leave the coin of the realm arid even your letter of credit at home; otherwise there is no telling into what extravagance, not to say useless purchase, you may be per suaded when probably you have just gone out for a morning stroll. Of all these windows the jewelers' seem to be the greatest magnets. Hut the bewildering part of it is that to tb# uian or woman unversed in the h»\vlml«o of precious stones the imi tations thereof look quite as good as the genuine articles. Pearls, diamonds, rubies, emeralds and so throughout the long list stones are so perfectly im itated that it is small wonder many American women succumb to the temptation of buying them. Hut there the temptation does not end. for they bring them home with all the intent to dazzle, bewilder and deceive their unsuspecting relatives and friends with the magnificence of their sudden ly acquired wealth of jewels.

"I don't know what this joking and guying may have been to you," he re marked, "but it's death to me. I never experienced such an ordeal." "It's perfectly dreadful," she an swered. "1 shall be so glad when we get away from everybody we know." "They're actually impertinent," he went on. "Why. the very natives"— At this nnpropitious moment the wheezy old station master walked up to them. "He you goin* to take this train?" he asked. "It's none of your business," retorted the bridegroom indignantly as he guided the bride tip the platform, where they condoled with each other over the Impertinence of some of the natives. Onward came the train, its vapor curling from afar. It was the last to their destination that day—an ex press. Nearer aud nearer It came at full speed; then in a moment it whiz zed past and was gone. "Why in thunder didn't that train stop?" yelled the bridegroom. "Cos you sed 'twaru't none >of my business. I has to signal if that train's to stop."

The Hebrew Sabbath, Including Its complicated preparations. Is rich and Impressive material for n child's Imagi nation. On Thursday evening the mother already prepares dough, goes to market, cleans the flsh, etc., says the American Hebrew. In the morning comes the baking of "chales" (bread). How bewitching for a child to watch the mother making different shapes of dough, smearing It with egg and decorating It with braids of different shapes and forms. A Jew ish child gets the first lesson In model ing by making make believe "chales." In the evening the mother prepares to meet the Sabbath. The child par takes in the household occupations and therefore gets habits of industry, order and regard for the rights and ideas of others and the fundamental habit of subordinating his activities to the general interest of the household. This is especially true in regard to Jewish households where everything seems to be prescribed by law. Before darkness sets in on Friday the house wife lights in the dining room extra candles or a special lamp in houor of Sabbath and reads the blessing. Quite often a child not yet able to talk will cover its face with its little palms, imitating the gestures of the devoted mother. The returning from the synagogue, the appreciative greet ing "Good Sabbath," the Kiddush, the blessing over wine, the special menu and the holiday spirit of ail who par ticipate have undoubtedly a soothing, beneficent influence upon the child. After supper the time is spent In rest ing. FIRST SHAPE OF EELS. Strait of Mossina Revealed Mystery of the Snakelike Fish. in the strait of Messina are channels of immense depth, through which a wild tide surges, and owing probably to Irregularities at the bottom there are whirling eddies which have the effect of bringing up from the depths below many marine creatures which are rarely seen except in the deep sea trawls. it was here that the larval form of a fresh water eel was first discovered, an incident which threw a blaze of light ou t(ie lite history of a very mys terious fish. All kinds of theories had been given forth with regard to the propagation of the eel. Some naturalists declared they bred in fresh water, others that they visited the estuaries for spawning purposes, but thanks to the discovery off Messina and later captures of tho eel in its larval form it is practically certain that after mature eels drop down our rivers in autumn they hie them to exceedingly deep water in the sea and there deposit their eggs. From the egg conies a little ribbon shaped creature, the larval form. In due course this changes into an eel of still smaller size, strange to say, and these small eels or elvers afterward ascend our rivers and there remain until they reach maturity, when they in their turn descend to the sea and history is repeated.—London Telegraph. Horses !n Literature, In sacred writ it was deemed worthy of record that Solomon imported horses from Egypt, while the description of the war steed in Job is accounted one of the finest parts of that piece of lit erature. in Greek myth and English satire the qualities ascribed to Centaur and the Houyhuhnms testify sufficient ly to the high regard in which the horse has ever been held.

As I'm the Sullivan that does this they must mean me. and I'm going to tell you how 1 got that idea of giving away shoes. "It was way back in 18715, and a boy named Sullivan was going to the Elm street school, and there was a Miss Murphy who was a teacher. This boy had an old pair of shoes, and one day she asked the boy to stay after school. He thought some other boy ' had done something and put it up to him. and he was goiug to stand for it. So he said, 'Miss Murphy, if I've done anything let me know, because I want to get away and sell papers,' and she told the boy he hadn't done nothing ( and gave him an order. That order j was to Timothy Brennan. brother of ' a big Tammany leader, and he gave me an order for a pair of shoes, l needed them shoes then, and 1 thought If I ever got any money 1 would give shoes to people who needed them, and I'm going to buy shoes for people just as long as 1 live.
