Life In Washington.
from Coed Company

from Coed Company.
There is a nameless fascination in
the Washington air. The average cit
izen, living far removed from the Cap
ital, wonders why the office-holder
who once comes to Washington is SO
10th to leave it that he will often stoop
TO any device to secure further lease
of power-whether it be four years
in the White House, another term in
either end of the Capitol, or only a
longer commission in petty depart
ment clerkship. But when the citizen
comes to Washington himself. the mys-
terry is solved. He may not be able
TO define them very clearly, but he
cannot stay long in the city without
himself experiencing in some measure
those subtle influences which render
the Capital 80 attractive to the perma-
nent resident. Even TO the casual
visitor there is something very inter-
esting about merely watching the
great Governmental machine or in
specting its component parts. The
very atmosphere of the Capital, instinct
with the official and social life that
centres about the seat of Government
in great nation, seems to possess a sim
gular charm, which disposes one to
linger and enjoy it. The stranger no
longer wonders that the office holder
likes Washington, that he constantly
schemes for an extension of his term,
that, if finally deposed from power, he
so often prefers the most humble pos
ition here to a residence elsewhere.
Not the least among Washington's
charms are its PHYSICAL and climatic
advantages. No one can longer doubt
that the city is fit to be the Capital of
the great country. The comprehensive
plan on which It was laid out in early
years of the struggling Republic gives
one fresh respect for those far-sight-
ed fathers who could even then devise
scheme which should to-day fit the
necessities of the seat of government
for fifty millions of people, and be cap
able of equal development with the
progress of the nation hereafter The
broad avenues are q constant source o..
delight, parks and squares are ample
for the needs of a large city, and the
great system Of improvements, carried
through with whatever corruption un-
der the Shepherd regime, laid the ba-
sis for the Transformation of Washing
ton from struggling and neglected
town to q handsome metropolis. Moth
Ing goes farther to justify the choice Of
this localitgas the Capital than its eli
mate. Though 1t suffers from the
summer heat, lie temperature, during
the larger part of the year, l. most

Maine Preachers.

The Pittsburg Post says the Maine
preachers are as abusive in their pull
pit harangues as corner grocery poll
ticians. 1t is stated as fact that the
Republican politicians have furnished
them with political briefs and incen-
diary appeals which they incorporate
in their sermons. They use foul Ian
guage about the most respected citi-
zens, and have converted, in many in
stances, the house of God into a den
of discord and vituperation. The nat
ural results follow. Churches are d.
viding and hundreds of church men,
bers are Withdrawing from the sane
tuaries they have hitherto attended.
Many of the political preachers are
brainless asses, and do not know what
they are talking of or are incapable of
appreciating a legal or constitutional
argument. They are preparing the
ground for Bob Ingersoll, who has a
radical church of his own, by bringing
discredit on Christianity. Bob and
the Maine parsons can meet on the
common platform Of cursing Demo

tops, somewhat resembling a common
humming top, each with long thin
stem run through the bulb-shaped
part, and protruding at the top and
bottom--the top stem being cased in q
loose sheath. Bowing To the specta-
tors, the japanese took one of the tors
and twirled it briskly between his
palms for second or two; he then
dropped it upon the table, where it
spun around in that swiftly revolving
but apparently motionless state that
boy top-spinners call sleeping" The
japanese indicated by signs that it
would stop when he told it to, and
turning towards the table he lifted his
hand as a command. No sooner had
he done this than the top stopped as if
it really had seen and Understood the
signal.
The japanese picked up the top
again and twIrling it a. before, placed
it upon the table, where it spun itself
to sleep. He then selected from the
swords on the floor one with long,
keen blade, and, lifting the top from
the table by the sheath of the upper
stem, placed the point of the lower
stem carefully upon the edge of the
blade near the hilt. The top spun for
some moments in this position and
then began to run slowly toward the
point of the sword. When it had
reached the point it leaned over at an
angle Of 45 degrees and continued to
revolve for several moments in that
difficult position, until it was caught
in the juggler's hand just as it was
about to stop spinning.
Throwing the sword to one side the
performer again made the top spin up
on the table, and picking up five
Others started them also. He then
stretched thin wire across the stage,
and taking the tops from the table
placed them one after another upon
the wire, as he had previously placed
the first one upon the edge Of the
sword. They spun around for a few
seconds without moving, but suddenly,
as if by one impulse, they all started
on an excursion along the wire, bal
ancing themselves as they went, with
all the nicely of expert tight-rope
walkers. Reaching the end of their
trip they dropped one by one into the
hands of an assistant, who stood
ready to catch them.

inclcment weather which prevails over
the greater portion Of the country
through the winter months to the usu-
ally balmy air of the Capital is especi-
ally grateful. Indeed, as a winter res
idence, Washington possesses greater
charms than any other city on the con-
tinent, what with its mild weather, its
exceptional social advantages, and the
attractions which the meeting of Con-
gress presents to any one interested in
studying our system of government at
its fountain-head. Every year the
Capital is becoming more and more

The Birth Place OF James Buchanan.
THE OLD LOG HOUSE IN WHICH THE
LAhBSTED sTATEsAAN FIRST SAW
THE LIGHT STILL IN

LAhENTED sTATEsNAH FIRST SAW
THE LIGHT STILL IN
EXISTENCE.
Special Correspondent Of the Patriot
A trip up the Cumberland valley
on matters Of business last week,
brought me to the quiet but clever
town of Mercersburg. While there 1
learned of the purchase of "Stony
Batter" the birthplace of the late
President James Buchanan, by his
niece, Mrs. Harriet Lane johnson, of
Lancaster.
"Stony Batter" is located about
four miles northwest of Mercersburg,
Franklin county, Pa, at Cove Gap,
in the Tuscarora mountains. The
house in which Buchanan was born is
small log building between 20 and
20 feet square, one and a-half stories
high. Between fifty and sixty years
ago Mr.. Jacob McCune, of MERGERS
burg, purchased the house, and after
having the logs carefully numbered
had it taken down and removed TO
the town of Mercersburg, where it was
rebuilt for corner lot on Fayette
street. The present owner of the Bu-
chanan house is the Rev. X. Lewis
McCune, who purchased the property
at the death of his father in 1866.
The house is in an excellent state of
preservation as Mr.. McCune takes
great care of it.
When we call to mind the fact that
President Buchanan was born in the
house some time in the year 1871, we
conclude that it must be nearly one
hundred years old. | learned from
the present owner that the house has
all along been kept under a good roof,
and judging from the hardy look of
the timbers it bids fair to last one
hundred years longer. The property
becomes still more valuable az a relic
of the past, because Mr.. McCune, the
present owner, purchased the log house
used, at an early day in Mercersburg,
as an academy or classical school, (at
that time called the Latin SCHOOL, }
where President Buchanan commenced
his classical studies. Mr.. McCune had
the old school house moved to the
same lot and joined to the Buchanan
house. These two buildings now
stand side by side-mementoes of the
past and of Pennsylvania great son.
If an appeal TO local circumstances be
fairly made, it will be found that
President Buchanan owed no part of
his distinction either to birth or for
tune, but wholly to himself. The OBJ
scurity and poverty from which he
emerged serve only to make his illus
trious career the more remarkable.
If these two buildi gs could be pur-
chased and taken back to "Stony Bat
ter" where q monument is 10 be erec-
ted to the memory of the deceased ex-
President, it would restore the "birth-
place" to something of its primitive
simplicity. If monument be erected
the old house ought to 90 back also to
grace the spot as we'll as to serve as a
residence for some one who would pro.
tect the place from vandalism. J.H.R.

How 10 Keep Teeth Clean and Health.
ful.
From O. A. Mills In Dental Cosmos.

Prom O. A Mills In Dental Cosmos.
As | am not aware Of anything
practically now in the way of denti.
frices, | can only allnde TO them as
auxiliaries or assistants in promoting
cleanliness, and in neutralizing the
normal acidity so commonly present
in the oral cavity. No one has yet
discovered the magic prophylactic,
Notwithstanding the absurd claims of
vendors of various nostrums, such as
"Sozodont." OF this article will tes-
tify TO what is also well known to most
dentists, namely, that it destroys the
color of the teeth, turning them to a
decidedly dark yellow.
There is, of course, quite a general
use Of tooth brushes by the people, but
not uncommonly an abuse of them for
want of proper instruction. 1t is get
ting to be better understood by both
dentists and patients now than former
ly that a crosswise brushing is not
wise, but that the upper teeth should
be brushed downward, and the lower
teeth upward. 1t is a common mistake
not to brush thoroughly the buccal
and posterior surfaces of the lower
front teeth. | am sure that nothing
like an adequate amount of care is
given to this preventive service. 1t
cannot be too strongly impressed on
the minds of the guardians of children
that they should see that the practice
of brushing the teeth thoroughly is be-
gun as early as possible, so that it
shall become a habit to be continued
through life.
Concerning the forms of brushes,
will say that straight brushes are ut
terly impracticable on the surfaces to
which | have referred as the ones neg
lected. Curved brushes with a tuft
end, budshaped or convex, are the
best. There are several favored forms
that are quite efficient in the line l
have spoken of One of these, named
the Windsor" / have faithfully tried
for twenty months past, and introduc-
ed it very generally in my practice,
and find that it meets the indications
better than any other within my
knowledge. The faithful use of floss
silk between the teeth ought to be
earnestly recommended also the quill
toothpick. The wood toothpicks so
generally furnished at public eating
places, are a source of much evil to
the soft tissues between the teeth. All
kinds of metallic toothpicks are Objec-
tionable, though am aware that it is
the practice of some dentists TO COM
mend them TO their patients.
The value of . decided polished sur
face of the tooth becomes very appar-
ent TO those who have had the opera
tion performed; the facility with
which such teeth can be kept clean is
evident; and, although the condition
may have been secured at considerable
expense, vet il Is an investment that
will pay a good rate of interest / do
not think that many dentists have
much idea of the beautiful polish that
human tooth will take. Many teeth
are capable of great improvement in
this direction which are now decided
detriment to what might otherwise be
o pleasing face. We know that the
general idea among people is, that in-
terfering with the surfaces Of the teeth
DESTROYS the enamel. but we also know
that this is . popular error.

What the Indians Cost.
From the New York Sun.

Every change in the Indian Bureau
seems to make what was confcssedIy
bad still worse. 1t has become nest
OF Jobbers and a den of thieves, because
the old roots of corruption have been
allowed to remain, and professional
reformers, like Carl Shurz, have only
attempted to graft on them new vines.
AS a consequence Of this policy Com
mlssioners speculate, agents steal, and
philanthropists sell shoddy at enor-
nous profts-all at the cost of the
Indians.
Outbreaks on the frontiers, blood
shed, and expensive campaigns are
among the effects of the want of pro-
lection and of good faith in dealing
with these tribes, who are first forced
from their reservation guaranteed by
treaty, and then pursued as public enc
mics for daring to assert their lawful
rights. Driven to desperation by
hunger from the want of supplies with
held or stolen by corrupt agents, they
commit crimes, and then the feeble cry
for determination.
Aside from the moral aspect of the
question, which brings reproach upon
the administration of the Government,
the cost Of this treachery and dishon-
esty has become serious item in the
annual budget. The abuses and rob-
berry that took such large proportions
under the full swing of Grantism have
changed in form, but not much in sub
stance so far as the treasury is con-
cerned.
Tested by comparison of the last
ten years with the preceding ten years,
the increase in Indian expenditure
was, in round numbers, twenty-three
million nine hundred thousand dollars.
Here are the exact figures from the
latest treasury report:
From ls6o 1909 inclusive s IO, -
From 1870 10 1879 inclusive t0tal..... 81 OOi i12
spd 65I
In other words, the average cost OF
the Indian service for the ten fiscal
years preceding the advent of Grant
ism including large extras in 1869, was
about three million eight hundred
thousand per annum, and for the last
ten years it has averaged six million
two hundred thousand per annum.
That is to saw, while the Indians have
been decreasing in numbers, the appro-
priatons have increased at the rate of
more than two millions and a third
every year since Grant entered the
White House and established that
system of spoliation which is common
" known by the name of Grantism.
The Indian bill this year proposes
an appropriation of four millions and
q half in round numbers, and is com.
mended to favor because it is nearly n
quarter of a million less than that
last voted. This sort of argument is
frequently used as n cover for extrav-
agance and worse than extravaganza
and we have heard it too often. The
true standard of comparison is not
that suggested, but another which
dates back to n period when the Indi.
ans were far more numerous than they
now are, and more difficult to manage
The present appropriation is as fol.
