Uashing.on's CGu Street Names.
 In examining the directory. one can not help but notice the confusion of names of streets and alleys and courts. For instance, there are four Pleasant alleys in Washington, two Pleasant streets and Pleasant Plains thrown in. There are six Prospect streets, hills, alleys and courts in various parts of the town, and Prospect hills are as numer- GUS cut in the District as Fairview school houses are out in Indiana. Washington has six Washington high ways, including the alleys of that name. Coming down to alleys alone, there is simplicity about the names of them that is certainly refreshing. While the people of Washington are quarreling as to whether the name of one of it's streets is Stoughton or Starehton, they have allowed some of the alleys to be named as follows: Pigs foot alley, Cabbage alley, Louse alley, ZiGzag alley, Truck alley, Pig alley, two of them; Cow alley, Fighting alley. Bood alley, Tincup alley and so on.- Washington Post.

WOMEN'S INTERESTS.

When jewellers begin to reproduce patriotic symbols we are sure to find beauty and value going hand in hand Flag pins in which rUbies and dia- nonds form the stripes and the blue ielc and stars are represented by sap phires and diamonds are an everyday sale at S250. So is the Cuban flag at s15G. The head of the American eagle has many admirers and in it's diamond whiteness and brilliancy, with ruby eyes and brown enamelled beak, is as charming a brooch as ever was worn u costs $175.
 No one disputes the charm of Ro- man silks, but to see them built into waists awakens outspoken admiration. Each waist, regardless of color, sells for S16.50 and a tie and belt to match will cost $5.75 extra.

Glendale, July 23.-(Special core spondence of The Republican )-our climate has spoiled us. remarked the philosopher, as he sniffed the sprlnglng alfalfa and let his eyes meander over the blue hills in the distance. Men are ever prone to think that the things they have not are more to be desired than the things they have; that ln some other cline are reared the falry castles of their dreams. Here we have the finest climate in the world, barring none. and yet when we have a few days of excessive heat, how many men begin to study railroad folders and hang For Sale on their gate post. They forget all about the golden days that fill two-thirds of our calendar and neyer a recollection stirs of the murky skies, the prisoning winters and sleep less summer nights in northern climes. They are like that mule out there that has fed on alfalfa so long I can't hitch him up. The climates too good TOT them

There may frequently be seen about the streets here a half-breed Indian who comes in from across the Canadian border with snowshoes, moccasins and baskets to sell, says a Saranac Lake correspondent. His name is Macomber. The tribe to which he belongs holds a reservation 12 miles square, and is from the Five Nations. The reservation is known as Caughnawaga. His grand father has died recently, aged 1o3, leav- ing considerable wealth. The old gent leman had been married three times.
