o the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:

1have just read in your issue Of the 4th Mr.

people can escape the imposition of which he
speaks Though the law be violated), provided
they are willing to pay living price to the
farmer for the genuine article. Let the demand
spring up for good butter fresh from the farm
at a paying price and it will soon be supplied
10 make good butter requires more attention
ana experience than most city people are
aware choice article cannot be placed upon
the market in good condition for much less
tnan thirty cents per pound. but as long as the
people expect to purchase an article at less than
the cost OF production they may expect to be
imposed upon by authorizations regardless of
Jaw 1t is true the more intellectual and Gull
tured people become the more attention they
give to what they eat and drink" but it is also
true that the science of adulteration has kept
pace with the progress made by food refOrmers,
until nearly everything that enters into daily
consumption as food Is adulterated. Sugar,
syrup, tea and spices, all are more or less adul-
tefated, and the pure article is gradually being
driven out OF the market, because they cannot
compete In prices. very much doubt If any
law can be enacted that will stop the people
rom buying these lowprice goods. However,
nope MIR. Crane will not give up the fight
against authorizations and the violation of the
law, until the demand for pure, healthy butter
takes the place ofmuch that is now used which
Is little better than axle grease.

There are some few critics who fear that they
are giving the colored children too much, and
the wrong kind of education, by which they are
untitled for honest labor. This criticism comes
from want OF knowledge of all the facts. II
must be remembered that in our country we

ored children from their necessities leave the
schools early TO seek employment. The average
school life Is not greater than four years. Not
more than one-third remain to complete the
common school course, and not more than one
tenth take The high school course. The incen-
ttves to induce the colored pupil to remain in
the schools so as to complete the prescribed
course are very lew-not nearly so great as are
those for the white, whohas opened to him the
fields of commercial, financial and mechanical
enterprises. The colored people here are

The cost of the colored schools in the county
OF W washington cannot be accurately given-but
cost has been at least one-half Of the whole
amount expended, which will swell the total
amount expended for the education of the COL
bia, since 1864, to over 100000. To this
amount must be added at least $4,000, gen.

Round sEse World.

From the New York Times.
There is an enterprising and ingenious young
man who proposes Ia travel around the world
on bicycle. The plan OF his Journey a. briefly
announced is as follows: He will take a steamer
from here 10 Liverpool and ride thence to Dover.
From Dover 10 Calais he will again condescend
to use steamer. and, remounting his bicycle,
will ride to ConStantinople. Crossing the Bos-
phorus, he will ride through Asia Minor Persia,
Turkestan, Thibet and China, and, on reach
ing Shanghai. will travel by steamer to san
Francisco and thence by bicycle to New York.
He will carry with him, strung under his sad
die, a clean shirt and n toothbrush, and Will
stop over night at roadside hotels.
1t Will OF course occur 10 persons more famil-
lar with geography than with bicycles that
there are some difficulties in the way of making
the journey above described The bicycle can
be used only on good road. and whatever may
be the condition of the European and Chinese
roads, those leading through Persia and urkes-
tan are in miserable condition. In Persia no
bicyclst ever mounts mis- machine, but he rolls
IL before him like wheelbarrow, and uses the
saddle as a place on which to carry his baggage
In Turkestan bicycles are used only on the side
walk, and, as many leading citizens OF Samar-
cand and Bokhaia have been run over while
walking quietly along the street, bicyclists
somewhat unpopular. Bicycles are admitted
into Thibet only on Saturday afternoons after 3
a clock, and as the gates are closed at q o'clock
ind any bicycle found in Thibet after that hour
os confiscated, it would not be easy for any
bicycllst To ride entirely through the country.
10 ride through China would be still more diff
cult, since the Chinese would regard the bicycle
as modern invention and would promptly XIII

self with a barbed tail, and represent himself
prominent devil, he could never make his
way through China.
In these circumstances there is really no rea-
son why a bicyciist should attempt TO ride
round the world. On the other hand, the jour
ney is one which Eo roller skater should hest
tate to undertake. The Asiatic roads though
steep in many places would present no In
Superable obstacles to roller skating. and there
is a lively demand i'm Turkestan for roller
skaters. In that country any man who volun-
tarily bruises himself and stands on his head in
public is regarded a saint and tire ated with
the utmost reverence. There is Gervish in
Turkestan who can begin TO rival a roller
skater in selfinfiicted bruises, and there is q
splendid reception awaiting in Samarcand and
Bokhara the roller skater who visits those
cities on his way round the world.

chanics and business men generally
have caught onto the car of progress.

with each other and the rest of man

for their dwellings, their stores and
their workshops. An Edison light
company has been formed and q
building purchased for putting in
