HERE are greater number of
birds in and about Washington
i than in any other city in the
United States, and perhaps the
world. This assertion. rash as it may
seem at first blush, is easily proven by a
glance at the City of Magnificent Dis
tances" from a birds point of view. No
wonder the dainty creatures love the
place; for it possesses the charm of green
woodland coupled with the progress OF
civilization as expressed by the miles
upon miles of buildings erected by man.
From above. Washington is the most sym
metrical system of streets and buildings
on the face of the earth.
Thousands of Trees.
Within the city proper there are more
than four hundred Thousand trees that
have been planted since the city was re-
claimed from the waste of farms and
corn fields and transformed into a par
adise of parks, palaces and bread avenues.
Such is the plan of the Capital of the ma
ton that at the places where the avenues
and streets converge small triangular
parks are formed, nearly every one of
which is adorned by a statue of hero
of the Republic surrounded by grassy
lawns and trees.
Symmetry From the Skies.
But it is from the skies that the sym
metry is most appreciable, and this view
point is left to the inhabitants of the air
alone. save when some venturesome artist
ascends TO the top of the Monument or
lofty sky-scraper and catches on his
plate a glimpse. of the city as it looks
from the air. Things with which We are
familiar are scarcely recognizable when
seen from other than conventional point
of view.

Colors of Great Cities.
The great cities of the world have their
characteristic colors; London is black,
Paris yellow, New York red; but Wash
ington is a charming combination of red,
green, and white. While there are few
extremely tall buildings here, the great
palaces of the Government loom up clear
and distinct in their glowing Wilderness,
bright spots in the emerald setting An
exquisite mosaic is seen when the whole
scheme is gathered at glance.
There is the general tone of red from
the tops of the stores and residences, the
soft gray of the streets and avenues, the
silver flash from the pools and fountains.
and from the broad silver ribbon of the
Potomac, the beautiful eyer-present green
from the innumerable parks. and the dots
of marble white here and there from the
public buildings and a few of the large
hotels. AS Washington has no manufac
turing interests of moment, there is prac-
ticalIy no smoke. and the climate is such
that there are few days in the year when
clouds obscure the view. Save for the
occasional density of the atmosphere the
air is clear as crystal and the eye can
penetrate it as far as the limit OF vision
is unobscured by hills.

White House, the sweep of the sinuous
Potomac and the encircling hills Of Vir-

Although the Philippines have not
been heretofore regarded as a par
ticularly healthful place, the ex-
perience of our troops there since
1898 has shown some remarkable

An Editors Advice to Young Writer'S

Editors are just as likely to be af-
fected by appearances as other people
are. They try to be impartial. But
they are only human. Strive as you
may to live up to the conception that
some of you have of them as superior
beings who are above the influences
that sway ordinary mortals, they can
not always avoid being pleasantly i'm
pressed by an attractive looking man
uscript. It's literary merit may In re-
atty be no greater than that of the
poorly prepared manuscript lying
| alongside Of 1t. But its more present
able appearance may bring out It's good
qualities so much more effectively az
to make 1t seem to the editor to be de-
cidedly the better piece of writing
and thus lead to its acceptance in
preference to the other.-Franklin b,

WoMEN's FACES ON STAMPS.
A Plea for Recognition in This Way of
Some Famous American Women.

For more than fifty years our gov

stamps. The first issue, in iS47, rep
resented but two values, and on each
was printed the likeness of a promi-
nent mana policy ever since con-
tinued. Other nations have women's
faces on their stamps. Why not the
United States? Surely we have rep
resentative women enough. There
was Dorothea Dix, for instance, whose
work for the insane marked an era
Maria Mitchell, whose pure mentality
and magnificent reasoning faculty
made her prominent; Frances Will.
ard, whose reform work claims recog-
milton; not to mention our many
noted literary women. There is also
a dusky face well worth considering:

unique place in our history and who

struggling English colony on the

hardy ROSES.

You know. when summer days are Gone
And winter days are nigh,
The garden roses, one by one.
Begin TO droop and die.
Yet roses have often seen,
The loveliest of all.
That blossom when the winds are keen
And snowy showers fall
Jack Frost may nip them. but instead
They bright and brighter grow.
And redder bloom and roster red.
For all the storms that blow.
But shut them in sultry room.
From out the biting gale,
Then they will fade and lose their
bloom,
And turn from red to pale.
These bonny roses would you seek
Upon winters day?
Then look on every healthy cheek
OF little folks at play.

omitted to buckle one side Of the
breeching, which would have let the
carriage on to the horse as soon as
