The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1886-07-30

America has hitherto had no social
and intellectual capital city. Boston,
with all its culture, is not national but
local, and the severity of its climate
must always be drawback from its
attractions. New York is commercial,
and to great extent migratory, people
coming here to make fortunes and GO
ing there to enjoy them, though there
is not little of good and settled
society. Philadelphia and Baltimore
are very pleasant places of residences,
as well as magnificent cities, but neither
of them has any metropolitan preten-
sions still less have the great cities of
the West. Washington, however,
bids fair to fill the part.
In the course of the past twenty
years wonderful change has come
over the city on the Potomac. 1t used
to be nothing but the meeting place
of Congress, but now it is becoming a
favorite place of residence for people
unconnected with politics or the ad-
ministration, and corresponding
change has taken place in its outward
appearance. 1t is blossoming ont in
to a gay and beautiful city. On the
northwest of the White House, and far
from the Capitol with its politics, has
grown up new quarter of houses of
the better class, rising, many of them,
to the dignity of mansions, with broad
streets, avenues, open places ornament
"a ,y,t \ ,tot,aa ohupJonoa oc fol;auo
and verdure. l know nothing more
beautiful in its way on the continent
except, perhaps, Euclid avenue at
Cleveland, though Boston is now a
very beautiful city. And this new
quarter has apparently become the
dwelling place of varied cultivated
ard thoroughly catholic society, which
seemed likely to draw to itself much of
that which is choicest in the United
States. Mr.. Bancroft, the Nestor of
American literature, is already there.
There also Mr.. Blaine writes his most
important and instructive history. The
Smithsonian presents a nucleus for
science. A flavor of cosmopolitanism
Is impaired by the embassies. Politics
of course are there, and they add to the
interest. But they do not seem to
me to predominant. 1t is fully as
likely that society will exercise an
influence on politics as that politics
will dominate society, and if this
happens it will be great gain. The
politicians of the Democratic continent
being what they are, it is great mis-
take to new them up by themselves in
second-rate cities or towns such as
Albany, Harrisburg, Springfield and
Ottawa, apart from all tempering and
refining influences, TO cabal and wrangle
for two or three months in every year.
The change in the character of the
capital is likely, therefore, to be sub
stantial benefit to the United States.
Alone among other great American
cities Washington is uncommercial.
All the rest have their business quarters
in which the steps of the throng are
as hurried and its faces as keen and
eager as in the East of London. The
place is uncomnercial everywhere ex-
cept at Washington, where one finds
something like the free, leisurely and
al fresco life of Paris. This attraction
cannot fail to be felt by literary men
and by all who seek to enjoy life

Save the Pigs.

From heresay and newspaper re-
portsi in regard to the large number ol
hogs in the country, and of the pre-.
valence of swine disease, many farmers
have become very Indifferent about sc.
curing and saving big crop of pigs
The low price prevailing of late has
reduced the enthusiasm of the pork
producers many degrees, and, with the
present markets, and the idea that the
country is full of hogs, he cares but
little whether the sows save or lose
their pigs. We have no wish to urge
or advise a man to engage or continue
in business which he considers un-
profitable. e.and in fact there are but very
few who would be influenced by what
they might read in farm paper, un-
less the same was backed up by sound
argument or solid facts.
1t is not our intention to enter into
an argument upon this subject, hut to
simply state what we regard as facts,
gathered from reliable sources. In the
first place the number of hogs in ILL
nois is below that of last year. The
report made by the state board of agri-
culture says, 'In less than one.sixth of
the counties is the number as large as
in May, 1925. In the remaining coun-
ties decrease of from to 40 per cent
is reported in the number of hogs as
compared to corresponding date last
season." So much for the supply in
Illinois. In the states west of us, the
cholera collected heavy tribute from
the herds. The scare, caused by the
disease, led every owner of merchant.
able pig to get same ready for market.
Estimates from reliable sources put the
present number of hogs west of the
Mississippi at less than three fourths
of what there were II months since.
On many farms In this and the states
west of us, where cholera appeared last
season, the farmer is not keeping or
breeding any hogs this season, in
hopes that he may the better free the
farm of the disease. For these rea
sons the cloud now overhanging the
hog business is not without silver
lining. If the price of hogs is regu-
lated by law of supply and demand
then the outlook for paying prices is
more hopeful than it was a year ago,
and TO save and raise good hogs is
about as promising as any branch OF
farm business.

Use of Old Newspapers.

All old newspapers should be saved,
folded neatly and given place in some
closet Or on shelf. They eau be used
for packing china, glass or tin, ,and they
are the best possible articles for clean
ing windows or mirrors in fact moth
ing pollshes glass as newspapers does.
Take a newspaper or part of one, ac-
cording to the size of the glass. Fold
it small and dip it into basin of clean
cold water when thoroughly wetted
squeeze it out i'll your hand as you
would sponge, and then rub it hard
all over the face of the glass, taking
care, it it is mirror, that it is not so
wet that the moisture will stream down
the glass, also that no drops get be-
meath the frame and behind the glass,
as they will remain there in bubbles
and cannot be dislodged without re-
moving the board at the back. But
there is no danger of such accidents if
the newspaper is merely moistened or
dampened throughout After the glass
has been rubbed well with damp paper,
leave for minute or two then take a
fresh paper folded small in your hand
and rub the glass thoroughly with it,
until it looks clear and bright, which
will be surprisingly soon, almost i'm
mediately, IN fact. Finish with fresh
piece of newspaper, thoroughly dry.
This method, simple as it is, will be
found on trial the best and most ex-
peditious way of cleaning mirrors or
any plate glass, giving clearness and
polish which cannot be so soon pro-
duced by any other process. Window
panes may be cleaned in this manner,
also the glasses of spectacles. The
glass globe of a lamp may also be thus
cleaned. The efiiciancy is attributed
to the materials used in making the
printing ink. Besides this, one is al-
ways wanting paper for singeing fowl,
lighting fires, etc.
