There Won Not Verr Stnch of a 'Mjr tery" About It, Clement K. Shorter, nn English writer of more or less distinction, sur prised everybody recently by printing In a London newspaper an article in which he asserted there was n mys tery surrounding the do:it!i of General George Washington about which Amer icans hesitated to t :'.:!:. 1 there he a mystery we should like to know what It Is. Georgo Washington caught cold whon riding over his plantation at Mount Vernon on the afternoon of Dec. 12. 17!W. Forty-eight houi-s Inter he died. He was nttended by three of the best physicians of that part of the country. Ho was bled no less than three times to relive a sore throat, and he was dosed with calomel enough to deprive a hea!i!iy man of his life. P.ut what Is the mystjiyV Knllghtened physicians frequently assort that G ".'al Washington was killed that !.o was bled to death and poisoned with calomel. Tobias I.ear, his secretary, says that :ifter the doc tor had bled him to the extent of half a pint Washington Interrupted with tho remark: "The gash is not big enough. Make It wider." And the highly trained professional Idiot pro ceeded to do so. "Does your throat fool any" bettor?" asked the learned leech. "It's very sore," murmured Washington. When the second physi cian arrived Mrs. Washington tried to stay his murderous hand by protesting that "the geiiernl was too old n man to stand mm-li blooding." "Yes, yes," said the mighty doctor Xo. 2. "I'll be cautious In blood letting." And then he proiwdod straight to rob his country's fnther of n full pint of life's most precious fluid. When the third physician had come he rolled his eyes solemnly ni'.d said, "I will bleed him." "We both tried that." said the other doctors. "Yes, I know," an nounced tli1 consulting s:ige, "hut if blood letting does not relievo him I must Increase tho dose of calomel. " After tho third bleeding in which we are not surprised to learn that Wash ington's nnn yielded Its life fluid more Rlowly than It had before the sore throat continued In spite of the last consulting doctor, and when his wearied body failed to respond to a heroic overdose of calomel the two con suiting physicians retired and left Washington to die. Is there any mys tery In hi t t'.Mth? I'tlca Observer.

A co-operative kitchen In the middle of every block to serve nil the residents of that block is the latest solution of fered for the eternal problem thnt faces every housekeeper. The plan seems feasible In view of the fact that the new Art club studios have n kitch en In common for the use of a small army of students who occupy bachelor apartments. It hns been suggested by economists that n large kitchen be es tablished in every block and that the place be under the direction of'a chef, with several assistants. The house wife could take her food there to be cooked, thus saving the price of fuel and keeping the house free from the odor of cokery and besides In many cases dispensing with the cost of dys pepsia tablets and pepsin. New York Cor. Pittsburg Dispatch. Reprnceaslnsf. "Reprocessing" Is one of the many gentle arts practiced by the people who supply the American nation with food. Whon canned stuffs spoil they are sub jected to treatment that destroys the outward appearances of decay, but makes the food no more, fit. for con sumption than It was before. The process Is applied chiefly to fruits, which are sold after renovation to bakeries" Und such places, ts be made into pies und similar articles. Spoiled fruits are also made Into soda fountain sirups. . "Reprocessing" plants some times constitute n separate department of a factory, and sometimes thoy nro run as nn Independent institution, which buys up spoiled foods and con verts them Into marketable products.

Wood t'olorlnir A considerable industry has recently been developed In Sweden on the basis of nn Invention made by Joseph Phis tor, an Austrian, whereby coloring matter la forced Into fresh cut wood. It takes the place of the snp and gives to the wood a brilliant color, which does not fade after the wood has be come seasoned. Birch, beech, alder, maple, elm and basswood are the vari eties most successfully treated. The dye can be forced through lengths of wood ns great as thirteen feet When seasoned and polished the colored wood presents a beautiful appearance and Is used for making furniture and aUo for the fittings of ships and street cars.
