Washington Letter.
From our regular Correspondent.

There are as yet no additional
facts in relation to the Star Route
Service affair ready to be given out
by the Post Office Department.. For
the past few days the men who are
making the investigation. have been
engaged under direction from the
head of the department. in hunting
out clerks and employees who had
connection with the alleged ring.
It has been deemed the part of Wis
dom to discover and get rid of any
persons who might, because of past
relations, feel inclined to give out
information to the accused, before
entering upon the important work
of developing evidence. The De-
partment foresaw tho Danger of,
having friends of the past regime in
q position where they might be able
to destroy the effects of the investi.
cation. A man who has for years
been a contract of star routes,
.bnt who says he had no connection
with the ring, mentioned one point
toa St0r reporter that is significant
lie said that every contractor of the
expedited routes would have lost mo.
ney at the original figures at which
these contracts were taken; that the
fact of their taking the contracts at
figures less than it would cost to
carry them out, shows that the ring
was organized in advance, and that
the favored contractors had an un-
derstanding with the Department
beforehand as to the expediting
routes. He also mentioned a man
who took 400 mile contract in.
California; this man was in the way
Of the ring, and the latter got rid Of
him, by buying up all the forage
along the entire route, thus fore
ing him to sell out: because he could
not feed his stock. Another point
that he mentioned was that in run
ing stage coaches, the faster time
that IS made the higher are the
charges for carrying passengers and
the greater this kind Of business;
that in expeding a route of this kind
the proportion of b enefit conferred
upon the contractor should always
be considered, but that it never was
under the late management; that on
the contrary the Department acted
as if it considered that the coatrac-
tor was damaged III expediting his
route, and allowed an increase of
pay, out Of proportion to the increase
ofservice to the imaginary damages
to the contractor.
Yesterday might be called wed.
ding day for Washington from the
number of marriages which marked
it. There was no less than
four prominent ceremonies of this
character in the city during the
day and evening.
The usual Friday evening meet.
ing of the Cabinet was held yester.
day afternoon ut the White House,
all the members being present. It
is understood that the President ex-
pressed his earnest desire for speedy
action by the Senate on his nomina-
tlons. Howard.

Its effects are as wonderful and as
satisfactory as ever.
1t restores gray OF faded hair to it's
youthful color.
1t removes all eruptions, itching
and dandruff. It gives the head a
cooling, soothing sensation of great
comfort, and the scalp by it's use
becomes white and clean. -
BY its tonic properties it restores
the capillary glands to their normal
vlgor, preventing badness, and MAX

Sell by Weight.

Progress in some things is slow.
Many years ago nearly everything was
sold by m~easure-by the bushel, quart,
gallon, etc. Fifty years ago salt was
measured in a half bushel, and SO was
flour. But there has been great prog
ress made in many articles. But there
is a reform demanded in others. There
is great injustice done to both buyer
and seller to sell eggs by the dozen.
The eggs of the improved breeds OF
hens are twice as heavy as are the
product of the common scrub stock.
There are constant frauds in the quart
or fruit boxes of small fruits. There
are shortages. stealings and leakings in
every box. Honest scales will not thus
cheat. Besides boxes. packages or
measures which are profeSsedly put up
for a bushel. barrel. gallon. quart or
pint. and which fall short. are q fraud
on the public. and should be avoided
by changing the rule to testing every
thing by standard measures or scales.
There is as much certainty in selling
wool by the fleece at a standard for all
~fleeceS, as to sell eggs BY the dozen, or
hay by the load. The only right way
of selling all farm products is by
weight. Justice can be done in no
other way. This is the best standard
for selling potatoes. tomatoes, wheat,
barley. oats, apples, berries, eggs. but
ter. chickens, turkeys. hogs and beeves.
Let US have no exceptions At present
the exceptions are where the greatest
frauds are perpetrated. Let US have
an opportunity of ordering by telephone
from our grocer ten pounds of eggs

The Modern Cook.

What are some of the things that ev-
cry cook who prepares a meal for any
family ought to know: Unless the
whole routine OF her work be haphazard
and unreliable. she should have intelli-
gent and well defined opinions ncern-
ing the relations of food to physical
growth, so that she can furnish that
which is the best adapted to the whole
household, fit to buid up healthfGl and
symmetrical bodies for the children as
well rs The mature workers inthe family.
the nutriment necessary to keep good
the balance between supply and de-
mand. The children should not fail to
develop properly on ccoun of her ig-
norancc of their needs. The father
should never give out more vitality in
his struggle with the world than she
can nake good to him as she prepares
his daily food. Ali this implies aprac-
teal application of the principles taught
in physiology and chemistry, as well as
a knowledge OF the kind and the quail
ity of nourisnment stored in plants.
flesh. fish and fowl. Earth, air and sea
furnish her with materials which she
must understand how to prepare. so
that it can be transformed into bone.
blood and muscle in such proportion
that each shall have its proper devel-
opment. She must be both too wise
and too humane TO concoct any dish or
brew any drink that viii induce dys-
pepsia, headache or dizziness.
Never until cook gives more time to
the mastery of such studies will cook
cry take its proper place among the
sciences. These bodies of ours are ex-
ceedingly complicated and delicate ma
chimes. not to be safely tempered with
by bungling. A blacksmith can under
take with greater impunity { o make a
watch than Al ignorant and unframed
h~ousekeePer to build up, without
knowledge or skill. a symmetrical and
perfecsly-developed human body. And
when the value of these bodies. not only
as physical organisms, but as related 10
mental growth. is fully appreciated. the
work of the skilled cook will rank with
that OF other great scientists. and more
than that. with other great philanthro-
pists- 1t is not extravagant to say that
the progress of human:y toward true
perfection depends largely upon this
branch of domestic economy. How
much thought and study are given to
the proper food for fine stock. Surely
we owe as much car to Dur children as
to our herds. 1t is certainly true that
just in proportion to the advance of anv
people in civilization will be the adj
vance of care and skill in the prepara-
ton OF the articles of food. 1t is, there
fore. worthy Of an absorbing study.
Health. mental vigor. virtue and hap
piness are more closely dependent than
We are apt to imagine on the cook that
reigns in the kitchen.-Nrs. II. b.

Kindly Treatment Of Domestic Animals.

Nothing can he more foolish than tho
attempt TO catch either a horse, COW,
pig. sheep or dog by running after it.
How many futile attempts to catch y
horse have been made in pursuance of
the above method. How many times
has the horse, Just as the hired man was
ABOUT to walk up u its head and ut the
point of catching it. made a sudden
wheel and shown the brightness of its
shoes. At this junc,ure we have seen a
little boy, who had never struck the
horse with 4 whip. but who had given
the animal many an apple in DAYS gone
by. strokins hun and PLAYING with him
at the time we have seen even this
little fellow take the horse quietly by
the foretop. and together they would

lady makes her appearance. in whom
the horse recognizes a friend who has
frequently RECALLED him with a lump Of
sugar. He does not ever wait for the
lady TO come 10 him; for he goes tn her.
and the simple lump OF sugar will en-
able his mistress TO lead the noble horse
to his stall. a task which all the chasing
and yelling of the hired man has failed

is attracted neither by the personal ap-
pearance nor the tone of voice Of the
rough fellow who strives to rule BY
force alone.
Another individual attempts by run
ming and yelling to catch his COW or
cows. WHY do these naturally gentle
animals run away from him? Because
they remember full well that on former
occasions, when he has succeeded in
catching them. a series of blows from
some heavy cudgel has been their re-
ward. Is there not some better way of
securing the good VII Of our herds and
in managing them as we wish? There
is a hollow place on the head of every
COW, just behind the junction Of the
horns, which is commonly full of dust,
short hairs and the like. causing the
animal an itching sensation. 1t is a
source OF extreme pleasure to the COW
