Champagne from Annie Par,nr,,

The practice of the economies In the
frrit.raising sections of the west has
developed new article of export. Tn.
til recently the orchard owners and the
evaporation managers did not think of
utilizing the cores and parings of ap.
pies. They occasionally sold them to
the jclly-makers or fed them to the
hogs. but more generally allowed them
to accumulate as refuse In great heaps,
which slowly fermentcd and decayctl.
This year In many places the parings
and cores arc being saved. They are
spread out In the hot sun and dried
after which they are packed in large
sacks ana held for buyers, who gather
them mp and send them away in car
lots. The destination of the dried par.
ings and cores In these large quantities

Reminder of an Assault Case.

Memory of a police assault that occurred
some years ago has just been revived
through the recovery of a missing revolver
that belonged to the officer assaulted. The
affair occurred five or six years ago, Po-
liceman Mason, formerly of Georgetown,
but now at No. 5 precinct, in Southeast
Washington, being the victim. There was
a fight in the Parker family, it is said, in
what is termed Twenty Buildings" and
when the policeman reached the place he
was roughly handled while attempting to
make an arrest. His gun was taken from
him and never recovered. The police gen
orally believed that the weapon had been
thrown overheard in the canal, and would
never be of any use.
Policeman Sherman Lake, however. has
just recovered the missing weapon, which
is in comparatively good condition. few
Gays ago he received a tip that the re-
volver was still in use, and he investi-
gated. 1t was secured in a small neighbor-
ing town in Montgomery county, Nd, and
turned over to the policeman. He In turn
gave 1t to Lieutenant Swindells, and now
it is in the possession Of Chief Clerk Syl-
vester of the police department.

A Visitors Suggestion,

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Since have been in your city / have
been inspecting the legislative departments
of the government. l wanted to find out
why many errors were committed and
why legislation proceeded so frregularly
Well, l found the most Of those whom 1
heard speak quite intelligent and quite anx-
ious TO accomplish something. 1 thought
however, that they displayed more zeal for
party than for country. This did not strike
me as wholly bad, however, when the sue
cess of the party was the reward for ma
tional prosperity.
l don't like to mention it, but, don't you
know, ii struck me that there was a lack
of formation-knowledee, in fact-con-
cerning the questions discussed that quite
surprised me. When l was at home in the
country and read the congressional pro-
| ceedings, especially concerning finance and
revenue, l could hardly keep from thinking
that some Of them were owing to imper
feet parliamentary education. l made my
| self believe that Lwas deficient in Judgment
and that there was an abstruseness that
| could not fathom. But since have listened
! to the discussions upon currency and rev.
enue and the snap We have gotten into as
! indorsers for railroad corporations, 1 am
| forced to CO.. clude that the condition is one
| of educational incapacity.
AS a remedy, permit me to suggest the
| placing of the membership under civil serv-
| ice rule. What is the objection? OF course
| every state has a right to proper represen-
! tation, but as these representatives have
| share in national and Interstate legislation
| it is not unreasonable 10 insist that they
| shall be fairly competent. If it is impor-
| tant that efficiency in our employees be a
| requisite isn't it more important that effi-
| cheney in our lawmakers be sine qua mon.
| Oh at first the examinations might be
! in fact, ought to be-very mild. If they
were too thorough it might interrupt leg
| isation by preventing quorum even under
| Mr. Reeds skill. We could leave out of
| the examination, say. parliamentary eti-
| quette. Well, not to enumerate. We might
| leave out everything excepting that part
| of the Constitution which treats of finance
and revenue and the essential principles of
| political economy. This would have to do
| until chairs upon craftsmanship could be es-
| tablished in our colleges. This would GER
tainly be done as soon as the demand arose.
