sought by existing or new companies for thirteen railways, or modihcations or extensions thereof. Most important of the existing roads for internal traf- fic, and admitting of the greatest possi- bilities, are the existing Metropolitan anu the District railways with their ex tensions. Unlike the roads of later construction, they are of the cut and

 being almost entirely so. These roads
 may be described as composed of an inner circle (or eclipse) about thirteen
 miles around, with outlying branches radiating and loping in various direc- tions. The stations average half q mile apart. These railways, therefore, now present, one of the strangest anomalies of railway operation, for while each owns in toto part of the cilele, and jointly connecting link. each runs circle trains in one direction only on one track, trains from outlying sections over both tracks, and each musr provide way for trains of other companies. At present they are unfor- tunately under separate arrangements, as we'll as subject to running rights which interfere with a reasonable schedule. The class system and coin- pal tlnent cars characteristic of long-dis- tance lines are maintained, while fares vary materially, and in many instances are almost prohibitiye. The present operation is a travesty on rapid tran- sit. The inner circle presents ten- m-nute service between the upper and lower halves, while with stations half a Tlile apart, and with no grades lor curves worth mentioning, a schedule of only 11h miles an hour is main tained. The atmosphere is foul from the use of steam and the accumula- tions in the tunnels. The station waits are double what are necessary, and tine delays are augmented by changing of engines"

The agitation for the enlargement of tho White House has caused one of the numerous citizens associations, which serve the purpose of common councils for the various subdivisions of Wash ington. to take a decisive step toward settling the matter of a presidential residence. The organization referred to advocates distinctly residential ex- euctive mansion. It recommends that a building to be used exclusively as home for the president be erected at the head of Sixteenth street, contend- ing that the location is high and health ful, in one of the prettiest parts of the city and in every other respect sutta- bIe. The suggestion is made that the name of Sixteenth street be changed to Executive avenue if the plan is adopted While there is no doubt tha. something vii eventually be done 10 afford the president ample room for himself, his family and his official working force, it is not probable that the location of the White House will be changed. The present site is, for many reasons, the best, among them being it's convenience to the most inl- portant of the departments, it's historl- cal associations and proximity to the heart of the city. The plan to enlarge it sufficiently to meet all requirements by constructing two wings architectur- ally in harmony with the existing structure will, it is said, be the enc finally accepted. While it would be theoretically pleasant for the chief magistrate to have a strictly private residence at the outskirts of the capi- tai, there would be many practical drawbacks to that arrangement and he would find himself constantly haln- pered by the necessity of travelling long distance in order to transact press ing public business.

The United States delegates to the Pan-A merican congress, which is to convene in the City of Mexico on Oc- | tober 9, will wield great influence with their colleagues from. the smaller
 republics and do much to shape the harmonious relations of the nations of the new world America's delegates have already conferred with President Roosevelt and he has outlined for their benefit the general policy they are to l follow. Before their departure for the scene of deliberations, on October 12, he will present to them formal signed instructions Among the questions to { be discussed by the representatives of the nations are those of reciprocity, ar 1 bitration, international sanitary laws and the establishment of an interna- tional court of claims It is under stod that all these matters will be urged by the United States delegates. In tic matter of reciprocity it is ex- pee teti that a great deal will be done toward shaping policy that will be of material aid to the coming United States congress, and that our delegates will arouse sentiments favorable to the closer knitting of all American co;n-
 mercial relations. No topic to be con
 sidered by. the international congress
 will be of more importance than that

 ics. and an agreement is likely to be
 reached which will bring the sanitai

IS IA AND STILL WORKS.
That is the Account Given by Her
Neighbors of Martina Ceiada,
Peruvian Woman.

Here is a case of longevity vouehed
for by III MORO, of africa, a city il
one OF the Peruvian provinces held
for ransom by Chill:
In the valley Of Codpa, in the same
province, It says that there is
woman named Martina Celada, who
is IA years old and to this day works
In the fields. According TO her many
relatives living in africa she was born
In 1851, and has seen most Of the
noted men OF the South American
wars of independence.
This old woman has seen three cen
turies, the eighteenth, the nineteenth
and the dawn Of the twentieth. She
was twice married, The fret time at
the age of 40, and the second when
she was 60. Her sons and daughters
are all dead; some of her grandchil'
dren are living, and she has great
grandchildren and great-great-grand-
children. Two OF the last generation
are Of marriageable age, so the old
lady may yet live to see her fifth gen
Grafton.
The old woman has some means,
but she does not want to enjoy them,
because she says 1t is not yet time.
She wants to live as she does In or
der TO entertain ali that come to her
house.
Dona Martina is somewhat blind,
for something like Aim of fosh COW
crs her eyes; she has completely lost
her hearing; and her power to think
went shortly after her sight. But
she can still walk very well through
the fields she cultivates, and as late
as 1899 she was known TO climb up
fig tree TO gather the fruit
II may be said in passing that such
stories OF great old age are not very
uncommon IN Peru, where the IA
cility for gaining n living and the
equablc climate seem 10 conduce to
longevity. 1t Is n very common thing
to see Indians (cholos) who are said
to be as old as 100 years or more,
doing their daily work with the ease
o! p young man and carrying their
years as lightly as in the days of
their youth.

FAT AND LEAN

That is, babies: fat, they are
happy and safe; lean, they are
neither happy nor safe.
Apart from being entirely
healthy or not quite well, a fat
one has much reserve of vital
strength to resist any sudden
attack, while the lean one has
little or no reserve.
The way to be fat and well
is SCOTS emulsion of cod-liver
oil. A little: only a little.
