WASHINGTON.
Changes Wrought at the National Capital
Within the Last Ten Years.

Changes Wrought at the National Capital
Within the Last Ten Years.
From the New York Times.
Many persons visiting Washington now
days are surprised when told that the city
contains permanent population of about
100, OOG. They cannot explain this rapid
increase-in 1870 it had less than 10000
inhabitants remembering that it is without
commerce or trade, save that of small re-
tail kind. The explanation may be found,
first, in the fact that more than one-third
of the whole number is colored-more or
less, as complexion varies there from the
full blooded negro to the octoroon, to every
shade, indeed, between black and white.
Another fact is that the army Of govern
ment employees, who were wont to reside
there and keep their families at home have
brought their families to Washington since
the material improvements in the town and
the ampler facilities for living. A third
fact is that many people of small incomes
have made their abode there in consequence
of reduced household expenses. The
Federal Capital used to be city where
everything was dear and everything was
poor; and to be compelled to pay high
price for an inferior article is the reverse
of attractive for place either of residence
or sojourn. Within few years this has
been changed. Washington has grown to
be both pleasant and reasonable as
respects outlay, especially as compared
with New York. Men in the Departments
on salaries of 81 200 are enabled, it is said,
to live there with comfort in their own or
hired houses. 1t Is possible to get good
brick dwelling, three stories high, with 10
rooms and the modern improvements,
within mile of Pennsylvania avenue and
fourteenth and Fifteenth streets, for $500
year. This seems to New Yorker alb
surdly cheap, for he cannot secure con-
venient apartment under the roof for such
an amount of money. The markets in
Washington have become in every way bet
ter. Baltimore, not 40 miles away. has al
ways boosted, and not without reason, Of
the excellence of it's domestic supplies. In
the old era of slavery and southernism, the
town was devoid of energy and enterprise,
and did not even consult its own interest
in self equipment. But it has now grown
influence, and great revolution IN most
things has been the consequence. The
probability is that Washington will con-
tinue to become more and more favorite
place for winter residence, for the climate
is much 1nilder than in this region, and the
cost of living IS far less than in New York
or Boston. 1t is very quiet, too, while New
York is unquestionably the noisiest city in
all civilization. The political capital is, on
the whole, very inviting to anybody having
small means and love of tranquility. Its
population is cosmopolitan, and grows more
SO every year. Social life is one of it's
specialties, and when it has been made en-
tirely healthy by the redemption of the
Potomac flats it promises to be one of the
most attractive social centres in the country.

The Building Boom at Washington,

There is greatactivity in the real estate
market here. The architects and builders say
there was never anything like it. Probably
so handsome residences, costing from $10,-
900 to $50, 900 each will be built at the
West end this year. The most important
enterprise is a new opera house, to be erect
ed on the corner of Vermont avenue next to
Arlington hotel. It is reported that New
York parties are going to invest 5000, 900 in
this enterprise, and give Washington the
handsome theatre which has so long been
needed: 1t is to seat $500 persons. A
new hotel, costing over $4,000 is to be
States senators are to build on Connecticut
avenue houses costing over $4,000 each.
Senator Van Wyck, just elected from Ne
braska, will erect q handsome house on
Massachusetts avenue, near the Louise
home. Houses are going up on K street
for Gen. Nelson A. Miles and Gen. Roger
Jones of the army. Jerome Bonaparte will
put up fine house on K street. Mr.. Blaine
is getting ready to build fine resi-
dence near Don Cameron's new
house. Gen. Herman Haupt, disappointed
general manager of the Northern Pacific
railroad, and well known in connection with
the Hoosac tunnel, has recently paid ST.
600 for residence on street, near Fiji
teenth. A great many blocks of dwelling
houses are going up, and anybody who will
build such houses to rent from 1926 to $75
month is sure of 8 per cent on his money.
Foreign capital is pouring In here, and good
houses are rented rs per cent more than
they were last autumn. The work on pub
lie buildings will go on rapidly. Anew ma
val observatory is to be builtin Georgetown,
to cost large amount of money. A fire.
proof hall of public records is to be built,
making much needed public building.
The northern wing Of the new war depart
ment building is rapidly approaching COM
pletion. The Washington monument work
will keep scores of men employed. Con-
gress, at its next session. will purchase the
squares east of the capitol for national
library, which will put up real estate in that
quarter. The citizens of the District are
very happy over the outlook. IL Washing

Bob Burdette has convinced himself
that smokers who carry their cigar at con-
siderable angle are generally asses. If the
habit is accompanied by a white cashmere
hat worn ON the right side of the head, they
are rowdies as well as asses. Beware. he
says, of the man who "wallows" his cigar,
rolling it loosely from one side of his
mouth to the other, and chewing the end.
He is apt to be loose in his morals and in
different about the payment of his bills.

TWO PREACHERS.

rom the Globe Democrat
The preacher stood in the pulpit
And spoke with large discourse
Of reason and revelation,
Nature and cosmic force.
He salked in the reign of order,
OF scientific skill,
And knowledge as the only key
To find the heavenly will.
And wondered at the doctrine,
It seemed 50 strange and cold,
And thought of saints thatI had known,
Weary, and poor, and old.
While lost in this maze of wisdom
About the false and true,
There came to my eyes vision,
Near as the nearest pew.
Twas vision dear and tender,
The sweet face of a child,
As weary with all the talking
He lay asleep and smiled.
Nothing he cared for the preacher,
Who spoke of law above,
But in his face was innocence
And worlds of trustful love.
thought of certain teacher,
The wise, the undefiled.
Who saw the kingdom of heaven
Within the heart of child.
IT'S good to be strong and learned,
Good to bewise and bold;
But the best of everything that is
That preacher left untold.

How to Keep Shippers OF Worms Ont of Meat.
Shippers or worms found in hams and
bacon are the larvae of some kind of an in
sect. Usually they are the grubs of the
bacon beetle (Dermestes lardarius), dark
colored beetle, about a quarter Of an inch
or little more in length. with whitisb
band across the back. Now, as the female
beetle must go to the meat in order to de-
post her eggs, it is quite evident that, if
she is kept out, there will be 10 shippers
in the meat. The same is true of other
insects infesting meat, and the simple
preventive we suggest is to keep your meat
wrapped in heavy paper and lime-coated
cloth, through which the insects cannot
find passage. Tight boxes, barrels, or
even moderately light smokehouse will
usually answer, having fine wire screen
over the ventilator, or chimney. You will
notice that the sugar cured hams found in
our markets are first wrapped with brown
paper, then enclosed in cloth bags, and
these painted with yellow ochre or some
similar paint. None of the meat infesting
insects can get at these hams when sur
rounded with such materials. Rusting of
bacon is caused by exposure to the air, or
perhaps moisture, air, and heat. Put it in
tight boxes, and in cool dry place, and
you will have no trouble with lust.

CRUMBS OF COMFORT.

A writer in Frazers Magazine contends
that the agriculturlists of Great Britain
have reason to thank those of the United
States for the competition the latter have
inaugurated in the European markets, in
asmuch as it has aroused the farmers of
Europe from their bucolic cententment,
begotten by former agricultural prosperity.
He also announces that with the enormous
population; flowing into our western states
and territories, these regions will soon be
unable to produce any more grain and
meat than will he required to support their
own population: consequently the exporta-
ton of these articles must cease from nat
ural causes. There may be some crumbs
Of comfort in such arguments, but We fear
their realization will come too late to be of
any benefit to the present generation Of
British farmers
