The decision of the authacirJes of . New York fork cliT to btiv th hinrio jn. mel mansion, on Washington heights ares to posterity another landmark of the Revolution that was closely asso ciated with Washington. w 11 The Morris Louse, or Jnmel mansion, as U is better known, is situated on a - high ridge in the northern part of Man- hattan Island lying between the Hud son and Harlem rivers and overlook ing the latter. Here Washington es . tablished his headquarters Sept 15, 1770, and left Not. 16 of the same year to avoid capture when the mansion and the fortiSed posts in the vicinity were .taken by the British. From the two months' residence. tbsijp of the Father of Ilia Country and the fort, to the northwestward uamed in his honor this elevation is called Washington heights. The house was begun in 1756 and completed two years later. In five , years it will be 150 years old. Its builder and owner was lloger Morris, a colouel In the British army who was associated ' with Washington under General Braddock in the French and Indian wars. Morris was loyal to ' Great Britain, and at the beginning of the Revolution he took his family to a place of greater security. When the Continental army was be ing concentrated In New York In 1776 ; Generals Greene. Heath, rut nam and Knox noticed the commanding poHltion of the Morris house and visited it When the army was driven off Long Island and from the lower part of Manhattan and was about to make u determined stand on the heights to the northward with a view of keeping the British shut up In New York. Washing ton chose the Morris house as his headquarters, ' From this house the remarkable "General Orders on the. Conduct of tn Army" were promulgated. In Its spa clous council room, bow" the drawing room, the Stockbrldge Icdinns pledged to Washington their sympathy and friendship, and there, too, Washington counseled dally with his staff and the generals of bis army and received prominent patriots of the" city and the 'colonies. &;k'4 & 'a . ? . ; Lord Howe's army, however, , was closing In oo the Continentals and was 5k1 VI: j! .1:, s , TUB JUXKIi MAXBIOH. . working Us way to the rear. When battle was imminent Washington, who , had been, absent at White Plains, re turned on Nov. 10, 177a with Generals . Putnam, Greene and Mercer, Finding - bis forces already, engaged with supe rior numbers, be retired. The Forty- seventh Scotch Highlanders crossed the Harlem river ' and scaled the precipi tous bluff, losing ninetymen, but tak ' lng the height and Morris house. . From that day, until 1783 the house was headquarters for the British army on, the northern part of Manhattan Is land., Lord Howe temporarily v occu pied the house and then turned It over to Baron von Knypkausen, tbe Hesslati commander. Washington revisited the bouse on bis triumphal re-entrance to the city in 1733 and again as president or the United states on July . 10;. 17D0.? . in 1810 Stephen Jumel, a wealthy French merchant who had settled in New York after being exiled from San to Domingo, 1 bought - the .; property. M pie. Jumel made it a resort for so ciety second to none - In' then city. Stephen Jumel in ,1832 was thrown from bia'carriage and killed," and a year later bis widow married Aaron Burr, but separated from bim in a few weeks, subsequently securing a di vorce. Mme. Jnmel died in 18G3. The house eventually became the property of General Ferdinand P. F.arie. whose widow now owns it The bouse is built of heavy timbers, and . it walls are lined with bricks import ed from Holland. There has never ben any change in its exterior, and the interior changes have been few and wholly in harmony with the char acter of the architecture. Two other historic buildings within the limits of Manhattan Island closely associated with Washington are Frannce's tavern, where he bade fare well to his troops, and St Taul's chap el, where he worshiped.

A little ironing board about eight een inches long, neatly; padded and covered and slipped into a cretonne bag, is a useful thing for a, woman who boards, who may often wish to press some of her belongings. Various little gas and spirit lamps .are seen which are useful for beating an iron. and the Ironing board is a distinct gain In convenience. Such a prepared board, with iron holder accompanying, may prove a very salable article at a fair or bazaar. , - ' Treat fa diaaac Dlalu ' .Brook trout and indeed almost any small, delicate : fish, , are exceedingly good cooked in the chafing dish.

Gealaa, Hajrda'a Oreu Salt aad alas aad Beetkavea'a Wild Walks, All the great musical composer bad their own peculiar Ideas and manner f working. They bad their peculiar traits, their moods, their eccentric hah-' ItAj such as are generally said, to mark tbe genius. In "Musical Education" M. Lavignac tells of their peculiarities. "Haydn was a very early riser," be writes, "and yet be never worked exf tept In full dress, in which be was like Button. He began by shaving himself carefully, powdered himself and put on his finger a certain ring, a sapphire. I believe, surrounded with brilliants, which bad been given. him by tbe great Frederick, unless it was Prince Ksterhasy. That doue. he abut himself up in a quiet room and wrote for several consecutive hours, five or six, without stopping. Mozart the gentle and pious Mo zart was sometimes less particular and composed a little everywhere and uncer all conditions. Happily the Ideas came often enough and pursued him even into the restaurants of Vien na, Prague and Munich, where he was very fond of playing -billiards and smoking a pipe and composing in bis head. Rossini composed almost constantly and in all ways, rarely at tbe piano. P308 often ta tbe evening or at night and. like Mozart, often found Inspira tion in a carriage or post chaise. In the irregular joltings of these vehicles hs perceived rhythm, and of these rhythms melodies were born. There la no doubt that he would have found them in Jthe trepidation of the railroad if be bad dared to try. but be bad such a dread of this mode of locomotion that no one was ever able to induce him to set foot In a car. , r Gluck' composed violently gesticu-. latlng, walking up and down and act lug all bis characters. Often in the open air, on tbe lawn. In a garden. "Beethoven also undoubtedly found powerful auxiliary to Inspiration In motion and walking. Whatever tbe season, every day after dinner, which was at 1 o'clock, according to the Vien nese, custom, be set out for a walk, and with big strides twice made the circuit of the city of Vienna. Neither cold nor beat nor rain nor hall was able to stop bim. Then it was that his beat of a fancy attained its full ardor. f He would enter a restaurant lit down for an Instant and ask tbe stupefied waiter for the bill, without having ordered ny thing. His clumsiness was pro digious. He usually broke everything be touched. Not a single piece of fur niture in his bouse,' and any article of Value less than anything else,- was safe from his attacks, and many times his Ink pot fell into the piano by which he was working, which, .religiously pre served in the museum at Bonn, still retains Its indelible traces. Although be had always lived in tbe midst of tbe high Viennese aristocracy, In which drawing room dances were held in high honor, he never succeeded In danc ing in time. - "- Herold composed while walking, humming or singing. often In the Champs Elysees, and often passed bis best friends by Without recognizing them.' Gounod composed especially at the table, or at least in his head. When he wrote everything was absolutely clear In his brain. His manuscripts prove this. " v Wagner liked to write standing up before a large table desk like the casb desks In the shops ., His scores were written without erasures, in a superb calligraphic hand, admirable . for its clearness and firmness and worthy of a professional copyist "Berlioz, who played no instruments hut the guitar, flute and flageolet, nec essarily worked at tbe table. i "Franck,' who was the head of a school. , scarcely composed at all till after 9 o'clock in the evening. . Meyerbeer wrote in a regular man ner in the evening, and his servant bad orders to drag him away, from the piano at the stroke of midnight Schu mann would not admit that any one could write otherwise than at a table, Mendelssohn made much use of the piano and preferred to work in the morning.' Auber generally worked at night and very late, till 2 or $ o'clock in .the morning, in order to avoid out side noises. - . ' ' "Ha levy bad a table piano that had been made for him by PleyeL From time to time he would draw out his key board, strike a few chords on it, and then push it back like a simple drawer and continue to write, '''''" "Boieldleu also wrote at the piano. Felicien David, not being much of a pianist sometimes sought the aid of bis violin'. Adolpbe Adam almost al ways worked at bis grand piano, tbe right band side of whose keyboard was stained with Innumerable splashes of ink. He played eight ten or twelve bars, and then wrote them down. Biset worked especially in the evening and still more at night; he often made nst of a piano bureau by Pleyel, like Gou nod and Halevy."
