Washington Letter.
(From our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, May q, 1898.

WASHINGTON, May 21, 1898.
The past week was marked by unusually
fine weather at the National Capital A
band of Italian days visited it. They came
most opportunely for the parade by tho
Society of the Army of the Potomac at their
fifteenth reunion, The veterans paraded
the streets, were reviewed by the president,
made excursions TO Washingtons tomb, and
were banqueted Tho citizens threw ban
ners and bunting to the breeze in honor OF
the OCCASION and crowded the sidewalks to
gaze at the pageant. The entertainment Of
these visitors was altogether successful and
they expressed themselves as delighted
with their cordial reception. They were no
little surprised, however, that at their first
reunion in tho Capital City, the president
of the United States shonld render himself
conspicuous by absence from banquet
given in their honor. IT is unlike President
Arthur to blunder on point of etiquette.
He is almost always sure to do the right
thing in this regard; but his tastes are quiet,
he is surfe;ted with pomp and vanities, and
the drafts upon his time are frequent al d,
| imperious. Besides he may have been IL
disposed and tired, for he succumbed to his
inclination and went instead on n moon
| light excursion down the Potomac
There are many visitors in the city now,
and last week there were more. Besides
the old soldiers, many Of whom brought
their families, the Jockey Club races
brought many sporting men to the city,
who made their headquarters at the Nation
al and st. james, while the military quarter
ed at Riggs House and the Ebbit. Several
large excursion parties from neighboring
cities visited Washington last week, and NJ
the White House the average Of daily visis
ors was from FIVE to six hundred-a larger
number than in any previous season
Post Master General Gresham hls signi-
fed his intention Of making a number OF
changes in the clerical force OF the Post

FOR RESTORING GRAY HAIR TO ITS
NATURAL VITALITY AND C0L0R.

Ir is n most agreeable dressing, which
is at once harmless and efsectual, for pre-
serving the hair. 1t restores, with the
gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray,
LIGHT, and red hair, to rich brown, or deep
black. as may be desired. BY its use thin
hair is thickened, and badness often
though not always cured. It checks falling
of the hair Immediately, and causes a new
growth in all cases where the glands are
not decayed; while to brashy, weak, or
otherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitality
and strength, and renders it pliable.
The VIGoR cleanses the scalp, cures and
nrevents the formation Of dandrItf; and,
by its cooling, stimulating, and soothing
properties, it heals most if not all OF the
humors and diseases peculiar to the scalp,
keeping it cool, clean, and soft, under
which conditions diseases OF the scalp anu
hair are impossible.
AS a Dressing for Ladies' Hair
The VIGoH is Incompatible. 1t is color
less. contains neither oil nor dye, and VIII
not soil white cambric. 1t imnaris an
agreeable and lasting perfume, and as an
article for the toilet it is economical and
unsurpassed in its excellence.

On tn, Modal Farm, On ario.

The Province pays $4,000 year to
maintain school for the practical edu-
cation of farmers. This institution
turns out annually from POO to 800 well
disciplined and splc.ldidly equipped
men 30 take charge of the most impor-
tant. healthy and altogether honorable
pursuit on earth. We in the states are
accustomed to think if n man is tit for
nothing else he can settle down on q
farm and get on We have made the
farm the last refuge of the tramp. They
here are making the farm the first place
for the true gentleman. And this is
right. We must have one of these in
stitutions in every state of our union, a
dozen if necessary to dignity and make
easy and intelligent the Office OF the
farmer. The trade of war is out OF
date, the lawyers Office is of doubtful
calling, for what does it give to the
world in return for his bread? The
doctors place is hardly desirable for n
refined nature; but the Canadians have
decided that the farmers hold the world
on their shoulders and are standing tru-
w bv them. They have altogether in
the Dominion more than eighty associ-
ations devoted to the culture and de-
velopmert of stock and grain. This
Province of Quebec has an institution
not widely unlike that of Guelph, Ont,
only on much smaller scale. | did
not visit this, but am told that it is con-
Quoted entirely by lady. The Prov
nce pays $1,000 bounty towards its
maintenance. As against them we have
only little to show except the school in
Michigan. Yet it is true that we have
many Institutions that profess farming.
But fear they do not practice it rs at
this model farm. Of course | cannot
enter into detail or attempt to digest
the big book making up their annual
report on this place. But | may say as
cardinal idea they seek to be solidly
practical; severely so; to keep the feet
of the students set down firmly on the
hard earth. They ignore Greek and all
such nonsense and try to teach com
mon sense. Yet no ignoramus is adj
mitted here by a great deal. Each ap-
plicant must be at least 16 years old,
must be of sound morals and good
health and pass very severe matrlcu-
lation examination if not a graduate OF
the many high schools in the country.

The Wenona Fair opened Tuesday under
the most favorable auspices, with over 2OOO
entries on the books. 1t is feared, howev-
er, that not only the Wenona, but numerous
other agricultural fairs in progress this
week, have suffered seriously from the
heavy rains on Thursday. With nearly all
such fairs Thursday is the great day, and
a failure on that day nearly always means
deficient gate receipts and shortage OF
funds to pay the premiums.

Nevertheless many people preferred that
their children should have ate nded school
that day, believing that life Is too short at
best for proper appreciation and applca'
ton of educational ad vantagcs. On the other
hand, again, it is maintained that the lessons
from nature, the study Of zoology, ornithol'
ogy, ard the other natural sciences, are worth
more on an occasion like this than the single
days routine study in the schoolroom, with
the mind of the pupil detracted from study
by the excitement without.
