G. W. AS AN ATHLETE.

THB IMMORTAL WASHINGTON AHEAVYWEICHT

Was the Strongest Man of HU McIhhor-hee- d

His tBcceaa as a Wrestler A8te7 of Bis Splendid HorsemanshipSeveral Other Yarns.

Welshed 210 Pound.Washington was a heavy-weigh- t. Ho

was six feet and one inch in height andweighed 210 pounds when in condition.

It may bo added that ho was neverout of it oxcept when ill. His weightnever went above 210. Even his sedent-ary life as President of tho UnitedStates, with its banquets, late hoursand other luxuries not consistent withthe rules of strict training, did not puthim in bad trim physically. He was onoof thoee men who did not grow fat underany provocation. His fine physiquewas in a great measure a gift from na-

ture, a matter of inheritance and cir-cumstance.

His father was a very strong man,who used to shoot swans on tho Poto-mac, holding his fowling-piec- e out atarm's length like a pistol. This weaponwas so big and heavy that few mencould firo it at all without a rest.George inherited not only the gun butthe strength to uso it. His muscularpowers were brought to perfection byplenty of outdoor exercise during hisyouth. As a school-bo- y of 15 he waswell grown and the best all-rou- nd ath-lete in those parts. His bulky framedid not handicap him in those sports re-

quiring pure agility; indeed, it was inthese that he most notably excelled.He was tho local champion at runningand at high brond jumping, as well as atwrestling and pitching the bar, a sportsomething like the modern game of put-ting tho shot.

Washington's legs were so strong andhis footing so sure that he was invincibleas a wrestler. There is no record thatho was ever thrown by anybody after hehad gotten his growth.

Tho length and strength of his legsgave him a great grip on a horse. Howas a perfectly fearless rider. All heasked of a horse was that tho beastshould bo able to go, and he laughed atthe Idea that he could be thrown so longas the horse kept on his pins.

To Illustrate his mastery of the horse,a story is told which Is much preferableIn my opinion, to the cherry-tre- o fable,and containing tho same valuable morallesson. "Washington's mother, who wasfond of fine horses, had bought a spiritedanimal which had never been broken tothe saddle. Some of her son's friendswere at the house to dinner one day, andafter the meal George proposed thatthey should bring forth the untamedsteed and try to ride him. They did so,and several of tho company took shortpromenades along the lawn on thebridges of their noses In consequence oftheir inability to stick to tho beast'sback. Georgo, however, succeeded ingetting a sure scat, and then begun abattle royal. A slip and a bad fall then,and all of us to-d- ay might be as muchthe subjects of Great Britain as anyFifth avenue dude, but fate had not soordained.

The long legs of the youthful ridergripped the horse like tho folds of ananaconda, and his iron hand restrainedthe animal's flight. It was a hard tussloand was fought to a decisive finish, forthe horse fell stone dead when he foundout he was conquered. When George

WASHINGTON IN HUNTING COSTUME.

beheld at his feet the corpse of hismother's favorite horse he doubtlessrealized that victories may be dearlybought. It looked decidedly squally forthe Father of his Country; but his cour-age did not fall him. He went to hismother and told the whole story and wasforgiven. I will not quote her wordsfrom the historian's r3age, because Iknow In my heart that sho said some-thing much more touching and gram-matical.

I like this better than the cherry tree,because there Is more action in it; andbecause, by my experience, ittakes morocourage to face a mother's tearful re-

proof than a shingle, a father, and ascene where tho tears are furnished ex-clusively by the erring.

Charles Wilson Peale, the artist whomade a fine portrait of Washington in1772, tells a story which shows how gooda man George was even when all out oftraining. He was 40 years old at thistime, and probably hadn't pitched thebar In a long time, and yet ho made anexhibition of several young athletes whoconsidered themselves pretty good atthis sport, so popular in those days.These young men, of whom Peale wasone, were stripped down for exercise,and had made some very good casts,when the Colonel (as Washington wasthen called) appeared among them. Hewas Invited to participate, and tho pegswhich marked tho best records wereshown him. With a smile that wasdoubtless childlike and bland Washlng- -

GEORGE BREAKING TOE IRON-BA- R RECORD.

ton stepped to the line, took the bar, andproceeded to smash a large hole in therecord.

"No sooner did the heavy Iron bar feelthe grasp of his mighty hand than it hadlost the power of gravitation," saysPeale, "and whizzed through the air,striking the ground far, far beyond ourutmost limits."

Washington hadn't so much as takenhis coat off, and apparently had madevery little effort. This was what madeIt so exasperating to be beaten byGeorge. He nevei seemed to be half-tryin- g.

"When you beat mv pitch, young gen-tlemen," said he, "I'll try again."

He had not yet been called upon todo so.

He had a wonderfully disconcertinggaze, which would have helped himgreatly in the ring if he had ever donemuch in that way. lam inclined to be-lieve that this overpowering look savedhis life many a time in hand-to-ha- nd

fights by unnerving his opponents. "Per-haps this may be the reason he wasn'tshot by a poacher one day on the shoresof the Potomac by Mount Vernon. Thestory of this occurrence illustratesWashington's strength, his courage, and.

I should almost bo templed to 'say, hisluck.

Thia occurred after the' peace of '63,and before Washington was called to tho

residential chair. For some, time heEad been annoyed by depredations onhis lands. One day he was walking inthe woods near the bank of the riverwhen ho heard a shot near by. Hewalked in the direction from which thosound had come and soon saw a burlyfellow with a gun. Tho General gavechase and came up with the poacherJust as he wrs about to shove off fromtho ehofo in a little skiff. WashingtonSeined the boat with the grip fromwhich nothing escaped. The poacherthrew down his paddle, and seizing hisgun, cocked it and aimed It directly atWashington's breast. Why he didn'tcarry out his design and make himselfeternally infamous, I am unable to say.

""- 5BENT THE ACROSS II 18 KNEE AS

IF IT HAD BEEN A JTWIO.

Perhaps it was that "spirit protection. "1 which the Indian prophet said would: preserve Washington; perhaps it was the

catlike quickness of his movements.' At any rate, tho weapon was wrenchedl from tho poacher's hand; and Washing-- i

ton. nuttina forth his cicantic strengthin a way that must have made the ma-

rauder's hair turn gray, bent tho gun-barr- el

across his knee as if it had been atwig. Then, having ruined the gun asa weapon, he seized tho poacher andchastised him as if ho had been a school-boy.

COMPOUND INTEREST IS GREAT

dust Fut a Few Dollars Out That Wayand Walt.

Compound interest is a great thing inits' way. Not many of us aro able todraw any such thing, but most of uswould if we could.

This story was told by a man whoknows something of the banking busi-ness, the other day, and is strictly true.It related to a gentleman connected withthe Equitable Life Assurance Company.As It was told by tho banking gentleman,he received in September, 1890, a letterfrom a brother in tho country. With itcame a bank-boo- k numbered 116807 of"The Bank for Savings" at 107 Chamberstreet, New York.

There is no such bank there now, butstill the recipient of tho letter followedthe matter up.

In the book there was a memorandumshowing that an account had been openedwith the Bank of Savings in 1849, for thobenefit of the writer of tho letter, by hisfather. In 1850 a second deposit wasmade, but even then the total depositamounted to but $29.

In his letter to the gentleman in theinsurance line, the man for whom abank account was opened in his boyhood,did not seem to think the bank-boo- k wasof much value.

"I had forgotten all about it," howrote; "and even now can recall thefact in a vague way." He had found thobook in a pile of old papers in his garret.

."I write to ask," he went on, "if It Ispossible that tho money was left to accu-mulate and then forgotten, if (in thatcase) this little book would enable me torecover It ajid if the bank still exists andIs solvent?"

The bank at 107 Chambers street wasno longer In existence, but had growninto that healthy institution known asthe Bleecker Street Bank, which is quitofamous ia its way.

This bank is very solvent, and it hasveteran clerks. Checks and drafts worrythe veteran bank clerk but little. He isused to them. So the man in tho insur-ance business went up to the BleeckerStreet Bank'nnd presented the old bank-book with its small account that wasopened in 1848. If he hoped to surprisethe paying teller of that bank, ho madoa mistake. That gentleman mcroljlooked at one of the big books that arc apart of the general make-u- p of a bank.

"That is all right, sir," he said. Anda moment later he handed him a memo-randum in red ink, on which the depositof $29 was acknowledged, and below itwas the statement: .?"

July, 1890 Interest, $239.50And this amount the teller paid over

without a smile or frown. To him It wasa natural proceeding.

But there is a man up in tho countrywho thinks more of the matter. Ho itwas who picked that bank-boo- k out of aheap of waste paper, and he thinks inter-est, especially compound interest, is agreat thing. New York News.

ffgtk L I have had a good

VlrlL. deal to say, ofD H bY LflBw late, about tic

terrible riskfarmers nin itttaking 1 11 01 fhirrM men, ofwhom they knownext to nothing,into their fami-lies. Some of

iVw5iS? aw Mm them go so far asism f wSKm to say that the

whole plan iswrong, andshould give placeto other arrange

ments, says the Massachusetts Plow--'

lian. On large farms this is oftenTone. A separate table and lodgingLouse is provided for the hired men,ind they have nomorcto do .with thefamily of their employcr.than do theoperatives in a factory with the milltwne'r's family.

On small farms, however, when lo-rat- ed

at a distance from town life,the farmer must at present, and prob-nbly'f- or

some time to come, board hishelp in his house and sit at the headof the table in person. This customhas prevailed so long among ourcountry people that it will not easilybe changed.

There can be no question what-ever, that the average farmer is alto-gether too careless about trying tofind out what sort of a man he iswelcoming to the hospitality of hishome; a man who is to become amember of a rclincd and Christianfamily should not object to be re-

quired to show that he is worthy ofthe confidence that must needs beplaced in him: and the farmer whodoes not take pains to learn whom heis hiring is neglecting his most evi-

dent duty to his family. Stockman.

The Care or HMes.Farmers kill more or less beeves for

home use or to sell in their nearesttown or city as dressed beef. Lcef islow and it should be the aim of eachone to get out of each animal all thatis in it. To do this we must beginwith the outside the hide. If ahide is taken off and properly caredfor it will often bring a fifth or fourthas much as the dressed carcass. Iftaken off improperly and neglected itwill bring very little. A hide oughtto more than pay for taking it off.After the animal is dead turn it upon its back and run a sharp knifealong the carcass as indicated by thedotted line in the first illustration.

To do this thrust the knife, pointforemost and edge up and run theslit the entire length of the carcass,from the chin over the breast in theline of the naval to the tail. Thenslit the skin of eacli leg from thecleft of the foot; to the central slit.

If these lines are followed the hidewill be the right shape to care forwhen removed. The horns do not gowith the hide nor docs the tail bone

the tail and cars do. After thehide is removed spread it out as inthe second illustration. Cut off all

i-- T

pieces of fat and flesh, (for if you arenot an adept you will probably citherhave some such pieces on the hide orsome holes in it, and it is better tohave meat than holes, as very slightjuts, especially at or near the centermakes a badly "damaged hide" andit likewise damages the price badly)and sprinkle the flesh side with salt.Fold the hide flesh side in and putwhere it will not freeze.

If the above is too much "bother"it is very likely the hides you removewill be the shape of the one in thethird illustration, and probably itwill be "hung to dry" in the same po-

sition and the price you will getwell it will be hard to get any pricethat will pay. Take care of the hides.

roaming In the C'llttfrt.

An Ohio subscriber, says tho Stock'man, is having lots of trouble withhis churn or rather in his churn. Thocream foams and produces no butter.He feeds his cows corn, fodder andclover hay and uses the cream at atemperature that used to bring goodresults still he gets no butter. Seethat the cows have free access to allthe salt they want every day. If theyhave not had this privilege in the pastgive each an onnce the first day, thenmiss a day and give another ounce;miss a day and let them go to atrough or box and help themselves.Keep the milk above freezing, 55 de-

grees is a good temperature for win-ter. Skim the milk in twenty-fou- ror thirty-si- x hours and hold thecream not more than three days,thoroughly stirring the whole batchwhen new cream is added. Let it allbe together twenty-fou- r hours beforechurning at G2 to G5 degrees. Havethe churn as warm as G2 degrees whenthe cream is put into it, and churn ata moderate rate not too slow, andthe butter ought to come.

Vagaries of Cranks.There is no vagary so wild, no foil

so absurd concerning milk and butter-milk but that some crank is ready tocommend it and support his com-mendation by the authority of science,says the Jersey llulletin. The latestthat we have met with is the state-ment that "most springs and wellsarc impregnated with enough lime andsulphur to hurt the keeping qualitiesof butter." At least nine-tenth- s ofthe water used in butter-makin- g inthe United States is from springs orwells, and it is rather late in therentury to begin talk about suchwater impairing the keeping qualityof the butter. The fellow who wrotethe quoted words has a case of wateron the brain.

Difference In Cost.Prof. Whitcher, of the Ucw Ilamp

shire Experiment Station, says thoDairy World, finds that the milk fromhis herd costs an average of 2.74 centsper quart on good feed. The lestcow produced itat a costof 1.95 cents,while the milk of the poorest cowcost 4.2( cents. On a richer rationthe cost from the best cow was re-

duced to J. 32 cents, while with the' same cow fed on a poor, innutritionsration, tne cost, went up to u. jo centsper quart.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Settles; Out Troca.It was thought best twenty or thir-

ty years ago to set out trees or grovesaround orchards, but we have foundout by experience that it was notbest, for several reasons. First, theyshade the orchard too much, and sec-

ond, they prevent, too much, the cir-culation of air among the fruit trees;.This causes the fruit to grow smalland scarce. Farmers should set oul-tree- s

of different kinds to shelter, noltheir orchards, but their barnyardsand their feeding lots, by so doingthey could modify the temperature afew degrees and save some feed andprevent a great deal of suffering tostock. Again, farmers on the largeprairies of the West and Northshould set out trees or groves forfarm use, for firewood, posts andother purposes. If the people of thisgeneration don't need it the people ofthe future generations will, for tim-ber is getting scarce up North fa thepineries and other places. A fewhints in regard to orchards: A youngorchard should be plowed and workeda few tears and planted to potatoes or

I other truck, then seeded to clover,never to timothy, ior mat makes tneground too soddy and dry. Noneshould use their orchards for pig pensand pasture too much, as it packs orhardens the ground too much aroundthe roots and often causes the treesto die. Uetter build a chicken housein the orchard and let the chickenspick up the insects.

fin Slow.Some of the best fruits we have arc

those whose merits have been slowlyrecognized. It is a safe rule to beshy of much lauded new fruits. Evenwhere the eulogium is justified so faras concerns one locality, the fruit maybe good for nothing elsewhere. Thisis the case now with some excellent,well-know- n kinds, which fail in a fewlocalities, though doing well gener-ally.

HOUSEHOLD AND KITCHEN.

Hradar.hr.Dr. Haire says he has cured many

victims of sick headache with thefollowing simple prescription: Whenthe first symptoms of a headache ap-pear, take a tcaspooonful of lemonjuice, clear, fifteen minutes beforeeach meal, and the same dose at bed-time. Follow this up until all symp-toms are past, taking no other medi-- .cities, and you will soon be freed'from your periodical nuisance. Sickheadache is the signal of distresswhich the stomach puts up to inform-- ;

us that there is an over alkaline con-

dition of Its fluids that it needs anatural acid to restore the battery trits normal working condition. Lemonade without sugar1, plain lemor.juice and water, is a grateful andmedicinal beverage for a person ofbilious habit, allaying feverish nessand promoting sleep and appetite.Nervous headache is said to be in-stantly relieved by shampooing thehead with a quart of cold water inwhich a dessert spoonful of soda hasbeen dissolved.

Some Tested irc!p-s- .Rice Dumpunos. Put your rice in

a stew pan, and pour on each cup-o- f

rice one gill of milk; stand it near theflrc where it will keep hot but notboil. As soon as it has absorbed allthe milk, pare your apples, take outthe core, and put the rice aroundthem instead of paste. Boil themuntil the apple is soft. They shouldbe tied fn dumpling cloths.

Tfcaaks te the Lord. XIIBt. Faux, Minn., October. 1690.

I recently bad the opportunity of-- testing thecelebrated Fastor Koenig's Nervo Tonic in avery severe caso. A poor widow to whom I havefrequently given aid and assistance In mycapacity aa City Missionary, sent herdaughter to mo one evening to procure necos-sar-y

aid; while she was relating her destitutionand stating that her mother was now nearly to-ta-

blind, tho poor child suddenly feU into anepileptic fit. I gave her two bottles of yourmedicine, and tbo girl is now woll aad happy,and the support of her aged mother. The Lordbe thanaoa 1 I think that such a case as thisredound to your honor and to tho glory of Himabove, fttxo has given you the knowledge to pre-pare such a blessing for suffering humanity.
