OUR COUNTRY IN MINIATURE.

The interesting plan of Senator Can
the United States laid out as a perrna-
nent attraction at Washington is MAX
ing encouraging progress, the senate
having voted in its favor, and the house
being expected to do the same. 1t has
been much helped by the discovery Of
Hon. Alexander D. Anderson, public
spirited Washington lawyer, that the
government already has, in the reclaim
ed Potomac flats, property that would
give an adequate and appropriate site
He pointed out the remarkable fact
that the configuration and longitudinal
and latitudinal extent Of the reclaimed
flats make that tract in general con-
form to the shape of the United States,
laid out with proper regard to the
points of the compass, and that the
map might be established here on a
scale only slightly reduced from the
original proposition. The Washington
monument itself would then stand just
outside of the eastern shore of our
country in miniature, overlooking it,,
and affording the best possible observa-
tory tower. The general trend of the
Pacific coast line of the United States,
Mexico and Central America conforms
10 he ST. of
claimed flats. A slight change in the
flushing or tidal reservoir of the flats
would make it conform to the Gulf of
Mexico. and by slight change in the
shape of the propagating ponds of the
United States fish commission near the
northern boundary of the flats they
could easily be made to represent the
great lakes. A small stream flowing
from these lakes to the gulf would rep
resent the Mississippi river. The small
outlet from the tidal reservoir into the
Potomac little above the Long bridge
| could be made to represent the Nicara-
qua ship canal from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. The map also conforms to the
points on the compass. If located on
| the flats 1t could be constructed on a
scale Of about three hundred acres for
| the United States and 465 acres for the
| United States, Mexico. Central Ameri-
ca and the gulf. This scale would be a
| trifle over two linear feet to the linear
mile and four square feet to the square
mile.
The plan having, by this discovery,
been relieved of the load put upon it by
the real estate boomers who were anx-
| ious to have the map located to suit
| their interests, will probably meet no
| opposition. 1t will make a novel and
| instructive addition to the sights of
| Washington.

FASHION NOTES.
New Trainings for the Face.

The very latest affair in walking hats
has a crown as big as plate at the
top, though it tapers in a little as it
reaches the brim. The head size is
generous, allowing the hat to set we'll
down, and the brim is wide, the result
being that the hat sets on the head al
most as loosely as the real Spanish
hats do. Such hat is trimmed with a
generous and formal knot of ribbon at
one side and with tuft of stiff short
feathers. The effect is distinctly swell
in contrast to the contracted walking
straws that are creased in the crown,
narrow at the head, and curly as to
brim. 1t Is really a secret of ship
shape appearance in one of the walk
ing hats that your head should seem to
be we'll fitted, and the face comfortably
Swallowed by the brim.
The little fancy hat may be very small
and as highly wrought as any one
could possibly desire. Indeed, so Ella
borate are many of them that they
would seem striking were it not that SO

The story is told of an English wo-
man who brought back from Egypt a
terra Gotta figure of a cat which she
paid good price for because she was
assured of the genuineness of it's an
tiquity, having with her own eyes seen
it dug up in the ruins of Karnac. She
was much delighted with her purchase
for a long time. and then one unlucky
day the clay cat was knocked down and
smashed and it's head and body were
found to be stuffed with old but not de-
cidedly ancient numbers of the Bir-
mingham Post.

The annual report of superintendent
Skinner shows curious condition of
affairs in many of the country school
districts of New York. Since 1850 the
rural school population has decreased
thirty-one per cent. There are 2,751
districts whose total resident popula-
ton of school age in each is less than
twenty, and 502 with total resident
population of school age of less than
ten. In 1929 districts the average at
tendance in the public schools during
the past year varied from one to TWEEN
ty, while in 1888 it was less than ten.
Superintendent Skinner believes that
the township system Of division, or
some unit larger than the present sys-
tenn. should be adopted.

Mr.. Dickson, the British consul at
Jerusalem. says that many visitors to
Egypt visit the Holy Land also, the re-
suit being that money is brought into
the country, and employment is given
to numerous class of the population
who otherwise would remain idle Ho-
tel keepers, dragomans, guides, shop
keepers, stable owners, carriage driv-
ers, muleteers, ETC., all look forward to
the tourist season as a means of &C
curing a livelihood, and should any
unforeseen circumstances occur to him
der the usual influx of travelers-as,
for example, the recent imposition of
quarantine on arrivals from Egypt
is looked upon as something little short
Of disaster by the inhabitants of Jeru-
salem and Jaffa. As an instance of the
effect which the annual arrival of tour
lists has had upon the progress of the
country. it may be mentioned that

CLOSING PRICES OF CHICAGO STOCKS.
Tuesdav Nav 12-p. m,

London prices came In stronger to-day causing
some buying here for the foreign account ana
giving tone Of strength at the opening 10 tho
entire market. The beginning of the fortnlghty
settlement on the London Stock Exchange re-
suited IN covering of shorts in the American
department. advances Of bqA per cent being
recorded. The contango rate on American shares
was bG2 per cent After the first buying rally
IN this market the whole list lapsed into dulness
and in the afternoon a reaction brought prices
lower. owing to the reports OF uneasiness in
London on account of the Chefoo affair. In which
the Russians were reported 10 have taken pos
session Of the disputed territory at Chefoo, over
which England claims rights. Toward the close
covering Of shorts improved prices from the low
est Of the day. but final figures were not encour-
aging losses and gains being about equally d.
vided The market was again narrowed and
confined almost entirely to room traders trans
actions few selling orders by commission
houses being the only exceptions. The Govern
ment crop report, which was favorable had no
marked effect, and in fact, all the factors Of
bullish character were disregarded. Political un-
certainties possess the mind Of the average Stock
Exchange traders and II does not seem likely
that their very pessimistic ideas will run away
until after the nominating convention in June
when their doubts on the money part OF the plat
form will be settled. The dulness in the stock
market does not bring on any appreciable liqui-
dation. and while heavy interests have appar-
emily decided TO make no new ventures at the
present, they have also given strong evidence
Of faith in an ultimate favorable change In Sc
curty values and in the earning capacity and
dividend-paying power Of the companies in which
they are concerned. There continues a fair de-
mand for good bonds. and IT is encouraging to
note the inquiry in London for good American
municipal or State issues as reflected In the sale
Of the New-York City bonds and those Of the
State Of Massachusetts this week Reports from
London to-day indicated heavy oversubscrip-
ton for both Of these issues.
The actual transactions in stocks amounted
to only 1898 shares. Of which six shares
contributed about one-half. Manhattan lost .
per cent on small sales. Consolidated Gas IL
per cent United States Rubber ! per cent. and
Tennessee Coal ] per cent. Other losses among
the active shares were fractional, and where
there were gains small fractions ruled. The
decline In Manhattan seemed TO be due to SELL
ing orders by a commission house. but there
was no information regarding the movement
and the total transactions In the stock amounted
to less than 5000 shares. The foreign exchange
market was triie easier to-day, but there
were Indications of more gold exports to Ger
many on Thursday and Saturday on special
transactions.

South African Diamonds.

In 1867 the first diamond ever
found in South Africa was picked
up by hunter out of heap OF
shining river pebbles. This was near
the banks of the Orange river a
little above its confluence with the
vaal river. Then diligent search
for diamonds began in oil the sur
rounding districts. In 1870 dia-
monds We're discovered in consider
able quantities near where the town
of Kimberley now stands. A rush
of miners soon filed the neighbor-
hood, and from that time onward
Kimberley has been the center of
the diamond getting industry,
though there are other mines scat
tered here and there to the west and
south of thames Bryce, NJ. P, in

AL She Had Left.

She looked the picture Of despair
as she entered the pawnshop. HcE
face was thin and very pale, the
clothing she wore shabby but care
fully brushed her large, expressive
blue eyes were sunk deep i'll her
head, and in her arms, wrapped in a
tattered old shawl, she carried a ba-
by less than year old.
No, the clerk could not let her
have So on the plain gold ring she
pulled from her finger.
Bursting into tears, she said; ooh,
good God, what shall do? l must
have s. for the rent, or baby aud l
will be thrown on the street. y
With look of misery she sudden
ly tool. fror1 the baby's neck a very
thin gold chain, TO which a small
locket was attached Having Sc
cured the required amount on the
last things she had to pawn, the
woman, all the while sobbing and
weeping, tondorly folded the shawl
around the baby and disappeared in
the throng of pedestrians. The ring
bore the simple inscription, John
to Mary, 1895, and the locket con-
tanned tintype Of the baby.
That was all.-St. Louis Post-Dis-
