Actual looses and the neceseary operating ex penses are very small. The money is retained iu the community aud does not go to fill the coffers of those al ready rich.

ALMOST A BRITISH JACK TAIL Tbe W ashington family held tho theories of prim o g eniture, which the Virginian gentry baa bronght from old England, and George as nyounger eon bad his own nay to make in the world. F At fourteen Georgo wa 3 shy and awkward, but big and strong. People began life early in those days, and the Widow W ashington suggested to Laurence, her stepson nnd the head of the bouse, to see if hie father-in-law, Colonel Fairfax, couldn’t suggest some thing for George. >«•. Fairfax and LAnrffltco Washington agreed that the British Navy waa the place for a strong lad with the m ili tary instinct, und to tho British Navy he m ight have gone, nnd become the enemy rather thou the deliverer of his country. Jnst about this time Tom Fairfax, Colonel Fairfax’s son, fell on II. M. S. Harwich, during a light with a French squadron commanded by M. de Bour- donaye on the coast of India This was 1715, the year of the “ rising” in Scotland. Tom Fairfax was only twenty-one, and the pet of the W ashington and Fairfax families. Mrs. W ashington then began to think that tho navy was not quite tbe place for her George. Her brother, Joseph Ball, also wrote to dissuado her, saying that tho boy would better tie apprenticed to a trade than sent before tbo mnst, where ho m ight be “ pressed” from one ship to another, “ e n t nnd beaten like a negro,” aud whero promotion could only be obtained by influence. it was at this juncture that the nixth Lord Fairfax, whether crossed in love or for whatever reason, came to live in Virginia, nnd, as a distant relativo of the fnraily, took an interest in George and solved the question of his future by making tho boy his su r veyor, friend and companion. The pleasure shown by tbe old c o u r tier in tbe young lad’s society bids one think that George must have had an old head on young shoulders. AH A COLONEL. In 17C0 Captain Georgo Mercer wrote to a friend a description of tho personal appearanco of “Colonel George W ashington, lato Commander of the Virginia Provincial troops,” which ran as follows: “ Ho may bo riosciibed as being straight as an Indian, measuring six feet two inches in bis stockings, and weighing 175 pounds. His frame is paddod with well developed rauselep, indicating greaj,atr.engtb. His bones and joints are*'large, as are his feet nnd hands. He is wido shouldered, but has not a deep or round ch e s t; n neat waisted, but is broad across the hips, and has rather long legs and arms. His head is well shaped, though not large, but is gracefully poised ou a superb neck. A largo nnd straight, rather than a prorqjnent nose, blue-gray penetrating eyes, which are widely separated, and overhung by a heavy brow. His face is long rather thnn broad, with higo, round cheek boner, nnd term inates iu a good firm chin. Ho has a clear though rather a colorless palo skin, which burns with the bu d . A pleasing, benevolent though a commanding conutenauce, dark brown hair, which he wears in a queue. His mouth is iargo and generally firmly closed, but which from time to timo discloses some defective teeth. His features are regular and placed with all the muscles of his face under perfect con trol, though flexible, and expressive of deep feeling wheu moved by emotions. In conversation he looks you full in the face, is deliberate, deferential and eugaging. His voice is agreeable rather thun strong. His demeanor at nM times composed and dignified. His movements nnd gestures aro graceful, his walk wu jestic, and he is a splendid horsomau. ” HIS LOVE AFFAIRS. It was fated that W ashington, like Napo’eon, whs to be the victim of more than one disappointm ent in love. Every oue knows how attentive he was toJMnry Phillipse, of the good, old Westell ester family whose house is now the City Hall of Yonkers during a stay iu New York, but there was a Virginian love affair considerably ear lier. His 6 r*t love was the charming Sal ly Cary, one of that um tocratic V ir ginia family of Carys, of which Mrs. Burtou Harrison (Constance Cary) is our day a num b er. To her he wrote love poems, anonymou©, printed iu the Virginia Gazette, and other Jove pceim, not anonym o u s sent to her in mamifcript. Thf se rhymes de scribed hi** “ poor, restless heart, pierc’d by Cupid’s dart,” and made j use of the other rhymes of 'M ove,” j love,” and “ above,” not unfamiliar j l every age. With her, t o, ho | danced at the festivals of St. Taiuma t liy, the titularsarnt of the Cblouios. j But Miss Carv would not listeu to | the suit nf the long-legged frontiers man, and m arried instead his dearest I friend and woods companion, George William Fairfax, and wont to live at | Belvoir, the Fairfax seat. When pret ty Sallv Fairfax died in Eogland. j years afterward, her Virginian heirs found some of W ashington's Jove let-, ters, nnd these have beeu kept unpub lished ever since. Until the war, however, Mrs. Sally aud her husband continue*!-to live in the Colonies. Five years a fter Wash- . iueton> courtship of her, a ben he ha 1 become famous iu frontier warfare, 1 he met at Mr Cbam b rrUvne’* house ou the l’am u n k ty lbver, tbe Widow Custis, whom he afterward married. Of course, tho lfelvoir la.lies saw a great deal o; the mistress qf Mount Vcrnop, and Virginia gosAljg which takes tbe harmless form of tradition, has it that Mistress M arina Washing- . ton never forgave Mistress Sally F a ir fax f *r b avin; been tier hu-*t>Aut’e tir-t sweetheart.

At the siege of Yorktown young Custis contracted camp fever, and died of it, at the ngo of tweuty- sevcn. Young as he was, ho left a widow, Eleanor Calvert, a descendant of Lord Baltimore; a son, George W ashington Parke Custis, a baby daughter, Nellie, who, with the boy, was adopted by W ashington, and two elder dsnghters, Eliza and Martha, who became the wives of Thomas Law and Thomas Peter. Four children by a father of twenty-seven was not an extraordinary record in those days. W ashington's other stepchild died even younger than tho young Custis, whoso death at Yorktown saddened the honr of victory. Sho was named M artha for her m other, and kdied young, in 1773. It thus happened that, after the war’s closo left some opportunity for domestic life, W ashington had about bim uo young people except h is a d o p t ed grandchildren, G. W. P. and Nelly Custie. And the girl was easily his favorite. Nelly Custis was a girl of singular grace and beauty, and would not havo needed the high position of her family to Hiipport her position as a belle in Virginia. Her faco was mobile and exprossivo rather than regular, and, alone among tho ladies of her day, her portraits show her as a girl like those of to day. Sho was thoroughly mod ern in appcaruuco. Sho m arried Law rence Lewis, W ashington’s favorite nephew. It may be noted, as n rather odd fact, that M artha Custis, Mrs. W ash ington's granddaughter, named her three daughters Columbia, America and Britannia W ellington. n i S CURIOUS FALSP TEPTH. The peculiarly square and clumsy look of W ashington's jaw in tho S tuart portrait and otbor late pictures o f him makes him look very unlike the s light faced and rather handsome man shown iu his enrlicr portraits. This curious appearanco was due to his falso teeth. The science of dentistry is only ft hundred years old, and at tho ffrst fa'so teeth were not only vory expen sive tint extremely Imperfect. The first dentist who ever practiced in America whh L o Muir, a visitor with the French army in the Revolution, though before that time jewelers had made a few sots of falso tooth, and, of course, physicians bad extracted mol ars who*© usefulness wus outlived. W ashington’s teeth were made by John Greenwood, of New York, tho lirst Amoriean dentist, who carved a complete set of teeth out of sea-horso ivory »n 1790. Tho work of making the teeth occupied a 1 mg time, ami ♦ hey were fastened into the m outh, not by tho familiar principle of suc tion. I*ut by a complicated and ingeui- on» a rrangement of springs aud bands of steel, which partly Riled (be month and made the lips bulge out, p a rticu larly the lower one. The processes rf dentistry im p rov ing somewhat. Greenwood made an- 1 other set of teeth f »r W ashington in | 1795, and the portraits of biaj painted ( after thabyonr nbtw rather less of the ' grim appearuuce abJct the lips which characterizes tho tp e»t fam iliar por- ! tra»t of tho first President, though in j some of hia»poifrattiuhe is represent-I ed a® he looked —with no teoth at a!l in his mouth. \ — A WEALTHY MAN. It is sometimes said that W ashing ton was in his day the richest-Am er ican. It would ho difficult to prove ! this, and doubtless tho statem ent is au exaggeration, such as the common country tale that W ashington could “ stand aud jump twenty-two feet.’’ It is needless to say that no such record ol his prowess iu this line has come . dowu to us. It used also to be said that Washiug- . ton had once thrown a dollar across 1 the Potomac. Mr. Evarts’s wjtty com- incut that “ a dollar would go further iu those days, you know,” is well re membered. W ashington was not, howover, the man to throw away a dollar. He was precise, careful aud methodical. Iu voutb he was, and expected to remain, compurtively poor as he was a y o u n ger s son, and the tamily followed the Eng lish cutoms of prim o g e n iture—so far. at least, a* concerned the family estate, Monut Vernon, which was left to L a u rence W ashington. Lawrence died in 175*2, and hi© infant daughter shortly afterward, leiving the estate to George, f His marriage w*th tbo wealthy widow of John Parke Cast is brought him more wealth, an 1 his investments in W estern lands wtre also shrewd and profitable. But, though an exact and capable business man, Washington was no nig gard. He e.itertaiued lavishly. It was by bia a iviec that the largest room in the W hite House was deig n e d for a state dining-room. W ashington never oocupied the house, and his sue ccssors have found the room much too | large, even for sta t e dinner©. Th* dining-room in Mount Vciuon. de signed by W ashington, la also much the largest in the honse. It is generally k n n n that W ashing ton received n*» pay for liw s e rv ice in the Revolution. Congress voted him f-Mkl a month, but he never accepted it, charging only hi* actual expenses. W h a \ Indeed. It was George W ashington's B irth day.

WASHINGTON’S CABIN HOME. Ills Humble Abo le W hile Surveying the W’iblerness for Lord F a irfax. Sunshine aud storm have been at work upon it for generations, and yet thero are few buildings that attract the admirers of W ashington that havo more of interest in them than the de caying cabin, which stands alone in an old pasture field a half mile from Ber/yvilie, in tho beautiful Shenan doah Valley of Virginia. The old cabin was the homo of W aehington when he was a surveyor. He came here direct from tho m a ter nal roof to begin the arduous and, at that time, dangerous work of survey ing tho lands of Thomas, Lord F a ir fax, who owned all the northern part of Virginia under the King's p a te n t; the work was arduous because of tho physical aspect of the country, then a dense wilderness, aud dangerous be cause of tho character of the inhabi tants, who were principally Indians or SABBATH SCHOOL INTERNATIONAL LESSON FOR FEB R U A R Y 23.

Wash ington had been selected by the old nobleman because of his belief in tho youth’s ability to cope with these ele ments, and the young surveyor left his home on the banks of the Potomac early in 1718, just after the comple tion of his sixteenth year, liis ouly companion being Georgo William Fairfax, nephew of oi l Lord Thomas. W hether these boys e rected the build ing or found it already iu place his tory does not state, but well-authenti cated ti.idition says that they built it thoraselvcs. That they used it for au office, kept their instrum ents there and slept in tho upper room, thero is ample proof., Here, during ull tho summer of 1748, when not actively engaged iu tho Yield, they wore busy with their office work or in defining bounds for the settlers. The old lint 1ms, in the memory of the present geueration, done duty as a “ milk house” for farmers. Of the dense copse of trees which Howe says shaded the spring, only a tall nnd sturdy elm rem ains. On a hill not far away is ‘^Soldier's Best,” another log cubiu—^tself .»f historic iuterest also, for \7ii it lived Daniel Morgan, the rough team ster who afterwurd be came W ashington's right liaiul in tho War for Independence--M o rgan, tho hero of Quebec and Saratoga, and the rnau who destroyed Tarletou nt tho Cowpens and cheeked tho tide of British victories. M organ was a c o n spicuous fig'^ro »n all the rough-and- tumble tight*» that gave the little towu of Berry vil lo ♦ he name of Battletown, i»v which it wu* knowu for 100 years, and after these encounters he would go und sit on the rocks down by the ohl W ashington cabin while his wife would bathe liis bruised an 1 cut head in the cooling waters of tho spring, aud bind up his bloody wounds. It seems almost a pity that this old cabin should be allowed to crumble away in the Virginia pasture field where it has stood for 145 years. The great elm tree looks as if it wa© good for a thousand years yet, while the rook aud th** spriug will be thero for evermore, but sun nnd wind and rain have made sad ravage© in the hut that sheltered the youthful Washington. The present owner of the cabin is G. G. Calmes, of Berryville. — New York Tribune. Washington’* Favorite Omelette.

In Troy, Ala., there is a woman who is a more than ordinary successful farmer. She is Mrs. Buck Hathaway, lle r husband died leaving her in debt. The first thing she did was to sell a surplus inulo for $fi 0 ; of this she used 840 in making her crop. She used two plows and had but two children aud one hired man to make the crop. She k e p t her hand ou the throttle and her eye on tho rail. In winding up the year she findsthat she has made twenty- four bales of cotton, 100 bushels of com and 100 bushels of potatoes. JSho has plenty of meat to spare, besides having plenty to run her place a n o ther year. She has paid nearly $800 on her dobts, and now sho is ono of the happiest woman to bo found. A COLONIAL l a d y ’ s WARDROBE. M istress Jane, widow of C u thbert Fenwick, of Fenwick Manor, legisla tor, councilor, commissioner, died in 1G60, leaving a will tiirough which we catch glimpses of tho wardrobe and toilet of a colonial lady of tno period, says J . W. Palmer in au a rticle e n titled “ Certain W orthios and Dames of Old M a ryland.\ To her stepdaughter T e r esa she leaves the little b ed,the mohair rug and tbw y ellow curtaius, besides her tafTota suit and her serge coat, all her fine linen, her hoods and scarfs, “ except tho gieat one,” and her three petticoats—the tufted bollaud one, the uew serge, and tho spangled one. To her own three boys she gives that “ g reat scarf,” and all the jewols, plate, and tings, except her wedding ring, which goes to Teresa; aud to oach u bed aud a pair of cotton sheets. To her stepsons Cuthbert and Ignatius, an ell of taffeta; to her colored maid D o rothy, her red cottou coat; and to Esther, the uew maid, all the linen of the coarser sort. To Thomas, the In- j diau, two pairs of shoes and a mutch 1 c o a t ; and to Thomas’s mother, three yards of cotton. To the Rev. Francis Fitzhcrhert, a hogshead of tobacco an nually for five years; aud to her slave William, his freedom provided he pay a hogshead every year lo the church ; uud to the church, the same William “ to be a slave forever, if he shall ever leave her comm union;” for had uot her beloved brother William Elton- head, and many of her dearest friends, “ died by the bloody fangs of Puritan w o lv e s ? ” — C e n t u r y . TIIE CUBAN ClIRL. * A Cuban girl’s life is very restricted, aud sho Is never allowed to go out alone nor receive callers of the other sex except iu tho presence of her chuperou or some member of her fam ily. If during her childhood sho a t tends a day school, a maid or some family servant takes her there every day, ami she cnunot go as short a dis- taueo as across tho streot unaccom panied. Iu Fotno instances Spanish customs are absurd and incongruous. Every well-fitted establishment in Cuba is provided with a concierge, to guard tbe entrance and admit cullers. This man, usually au ignorant peasant^ sometimes escorts tbe young ladies of the family ho is serving, aud that is considered perfectly proper, whereas it would not bo proper for them to go out attended by a gentleman, even if be were old enough to be*.heir father, and au old friend of the family as Well. Of late years, however, tho frequent intercourse between Cuba and the United States ha>- somewhat modified tbe customs. For instance, two ladies can now go out alone iu Havana in the daytime, which would have been con sidered au unheurd of and almost shocking proceeding a few years ago. The social pastimes a girls enjoys iii Cuba c o n sitsof balls, parties, concerts, receptions, tho theatre aud opera, and picnic, for Cubans have adopted this American division, although m a mod ified form, to suit the requirem ents of Cuban etiquette. o OSSIP.
