Politest Man in Washinrton.

We must all do good in the world
according to our natural endowments
and the opportunities afforded us. The
other day was riding in a comfortably
filed street car when there entered
three young women dressed in the
narrow sheath skirts of the period.
jolly, portly old gentleman got up to give
one of the pretty girls a seat, which
she took with a gracious acknowledge
ment. She seemed rather lost, how
ever, in the generous space vacated by
the Pickwiclkian frame of the old gentle.
man, SO she moved along far enough to
let one of her companions share the
benefit. Now, whether the passengers
crowded together imperceptibly OF
whatever may have happened, the two
slender young women did not take up
the whole seat, and the third blushing.
ly squeezed into what was left Of it.
By this time the other people in the cal
were too much amused to conceal their
smiles, and the old gentleman himself
was one vast glow of satisfaction. "It
isn't all of you who are fitted to per
form such a Wholesale of gallantry,'
said he, in a low tone, to a friend in
the corner of the car.-Kate Fields

THE republicans in congress, last
week tried TO kiln the tin-plate bill by
filibustering. The tin-plate tax took
from the people, during the last fiscal
year, $10,577,1 lis. This tax has not
created an American industry. Tin
plates are not made here, and the
twenty EIGHT works established have
made only three days supply of what
is known to the trade as s'terne plate, ,,
or lead plate. The whole effort is q
fraud; but the increased price of tin
plate has been very costly to the can
ming industry and to the consumers of
canned goods and of all tin-ware and
tin-plate. It Is estimated that between
1891 and 1899 labor in the canning in
dustry actually cost nearly $43, 0O0, 900
by the closing OF canning works. But
some of the favored capitalists Of the re-
publican party want the tax main
tanned; and their congressman (many of
whose seats were purchased with tax
made wealthy are ready to help along
the robbery Of the people even to the
point of filibustering against the bill to
reduce taxation.

How to Civilize the Indians.

Miss Collins, Maine girl who has
been out among the Dakotas as q mis-
sionary, says the way to civilize the In
dians is by nurses, rather than by
preachers and teachers. Instruction in
the care of the sick, the nature of dis
ease and the proper use Of medicine re-
leases them from the influence Of the
medicine man." It is these who,
working on the superstitious minds OF
the Indians, are the greatest obstacles
to their civilization. The Indians have
been peculiarly susceptible to epidemic
diseases, which have created greater
ravages than war and privation COM
bined. Miss Collins instances an cpl
demic of measles in which cleanliness
nd nursing saved every life but that
Of child whose grandmother was a
medicine woman. When the influence
of the medicine man is gone as healer
Of the body he has lost his power as a
spiritual director, and the Indians
mind is open to the words Of the Chris
tian teacher and preacher.

The Banner Freak state.


Connecticut has broken the record ON
feaEhered freaks with four legs this
year. As a rule the state produces just
one four-legged chicken each year, but
this time It has three of q kind. Peter
Lessons hen, of Putnam, contributed
the first one with four legs to the cause
and 1t is extraordinary that the strange
chicken is growing up into an alb le-
bodied hen. It travels exclusively on
the rear set of legs while the forward
ones are uplifted and crossed upon its
breast The next four-legged chicken
is the property of Albert Lathrop, Of
Stratford 1t Is young yet. but its
owner has high hopes that 1t too. may
survive It is curiously marked in hue.
It is of pure white color. except Q
broad yellow strip up and down its
back. 1t belongs to the Plymouth Rock
breed Its extra legs are attached to
its body under its wings and have .
stiff upward tilt so they are totally USE
less except to trim ship when the chick
en- is under way, If it gets old enough
to run. The third four-legged chicken,
which was Matched at 10 Summer street,
Ansonia, was the most wonderful of the
lot. but 1t lived only an hour. It had
four legs and feet, four wings, one body
md one head.

THOSE who have babies to take care of
will be interested in what DIR freeman
has to say in the Medical record about
sterillzed milk. He explains that milk
sterilized by heat does not appear to full
fiji the condition of perfect nutrition. He
shows that boiling is unnecessary, and
at temperature not exceeding 176 de-
grees Fahrenheit the most dangerous
germs which milk contains are de-
stroyed without interfering with its nu-
tritive qualities. "By simply miners
ing it in proper proportion of boiling
water, the source of heat having been
removed, and leaving it so immersed for
half an hour" it is in good condition for
use and at the same time it Is freed
from almost every poisonous or infec-
tious microbe.

Costa Rica's name indicates her rich
ness. Everything will grow within her
2s, 2SS square miles of territory. The
favored people number 1000. Costa
RIGA Is the great banana country. The
cultivation of the banana has in
creased greatly to meet the demand
from the United States. Wheat and
other grains are produced. The for
ests abound in valuable timber. Rare
woods for cabinet work and medicinal
and oleaginous plants are found,
as well as rubber, textile plants and dye
woods. Costa RIGA, according to the lat
est statistics, has CSC, 900 head of cattle,
90, 900 horses and other animals. She is
also rich in gold, silver, coffee, zinc,
nickel, iron, lead and coal. Manufac-
turing has made some Roadway. There
are breweries, iron and tool foundries
and distillery in Costa Rica. The
principal articles that country buys are
silk, wooden, linen and cotton goods,
toilet articles, wines, liquors, flour, re-
fined sugar, wearing apparel and
leather goods. The total foreign com
merce of that country amounted last
year to nearly $4,000, 900. The Unit
ed States has recently superseded Eng
land in the commercial good graces OF
Costa Rica. Last year the United

EXPERIMENTS in the material and
methods of street paving have been and
continue to be SO numerous that unless
fortune is strangely perverse it would
seem inevitable that the right combina-
ton must be hit upon at last What
is called adamant stone Is a recent in
vention in England, and is said to pos
sess superior merit in respect Of density
and resistance to pressure. 1t is also
frost proof, a quality even more impor-

DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS.
AMERICAN salaries

AMERICAN salaries and wages are
often spoken of in grossly exaggerated
terms. A recent railway accident near
New York illustrates this fact very
clearly. E. NJ. Canady was station
agent at Ozone Park, not far from the
metropolis. He is a young man who
has been on duty about two weeks and
has been acting during that time as
station master, ticket seller, telegraph
operator, baggagemaster, freight agent
and switchman-all for $40 a month.
No wonder an accident occurred or that
he lost his head at a critical moment.

Sunflower-seed OIL.

In 1912 Russian farmer named Bo-
kareff conceived the idea Of extracting
oil from the seed of the sunflower. His
neighbors told him it was a visionary
idea and that he would have his labor
for his pains. He persevered, however,
and from that humble beginning the in
dustry has expanded to enormous pro-
portions. To-day more than seven
hundred thousand acres of land in Rus
STA are devoted to the cultivation of the
sunflower. The area devoted to the
crop has nearly doubled in five years.
Two kinds of sunfiowers are grown,
one with small seeds, which are crushed
for oil, and the other with large seeds,
that are consumed by the common peo-
pie in enormous quantities, very much
as people eat peanuts in the United
States

A REAL titled person is at present
playing in concerts in New York. This
distinction is achieved by Princess Dol
gorouky, who is the "solo violinist and
musical director to her majesty the
empress of Russia" The princess Is
said to be good performer on the vio-
lin, and it proves to Americans that
when really necessary to fght for fame
and fortune titled folks can do some
thing, after all. It is one thing to be
born great, and another thing alto
gether to prove ones self worthy of sus-
tanning greatness. But, perhaps, the
p rincess may be an exception to the
general run of princesses who do not
find it necessary to do anything to sus-
tain their position

Every evening this week, with
Wednesday and Saturday matinees,
the tragedian Mr.. George Buckler
and his excellent company of Shakes
pearean actors will be at Washington
Hall, and will present Bulwer's great
est of great plays. "Richelieu; or
the Conspiracy" Shakespeare's SUBJ
lime tragedy, Hamlet; Prince of
Denmark" Mr.. Buckler is spoken
of as one of the greatest actors on
the American stage and is CAREFUL
and pains taking in everything he
does. As Damon he is grand.
Mr.. Bnckler is said to be the hand
soonest Hamlet since the days of
David Garrick, and never fails to
please and captivate the feminine
portion of his andiances. His acting
in Hamlet reminds one forctbly of
Mr.. Edwin Booth in the same charac-
ter few years ago when the latter
gentleman was young and more full
of the vigor of youth. while his Rich
ellen, in voice, action and manner
suggest strongly the Richelieu of that
much understood man and great
American actor, the late Mr. Law
renee Barrett.
Mr.. Buckler and his company will
undoubtedly be greeted on this occa-
sion by the largest and most fash
ionable audiences that have filled
