Washington Is an important factor In what
may be termed fashionable society.
A season In Washington is now quite the
thing for the yotaries of fashion who spenu
their summers in Newport and their winters
in New York city. People come here from
all parts Of the country in order to enjoy
the advantages of a society which Is per-
haps more varied and brilliant than that
of any other place in the world. The scale
Of living has kept pace with the prosperity
of the country, and the first-class domestic
establishment Of today far exceeds in the
elaborateness Of its details anything that
was even thought Of a decade or so ago.
While this condition applies to those who
have large means and who come here to
live, stiM an account Of the establishments
Of such people and their mode of life would
not by any means tell the entire story of

one of the distinctive features of Washing

persons of moderate means. Monotonous

fortunately not a characteristic of Wash

washington. essentially q governmental
center and a city Of residence, is not with
out its manufacturing interests. In urging
WASHINGTON as an attractive locality for
the home the argument is put forward that
there are no manufactures here and that
therefore the city is an especially desirable
one for those who wish to live amid clean
liness. comfort and rare conveniences. The
mercantile business. the practice of the
professions and the work of the vast de-
partments Of the government give to
WASHINGTON its manifest activity and its
prosperity, and mark its rapid strides to
the front rank of American municipalities
The manufacturing industries of the cap
ital. however are much greater in extent
and more important than many people
imagine. Adding to the purely civil indus
tries the outputs of the various govern
ment workshops the volume of business
carried on by the industrial Establishments
here reaches remarkably high total The
industries OF the capital are what are
termed "neighborhood industries" en-
bracing establishments chiefly engaged in
the production or repairing OF articles for
LEGAL consumption, including the building
trades and the so-called hand trades. While
these are not manufactures in a large
sense. and must be classed as mechanical
industries almost wholly, yet there are sew
era1 establishments in Washington whose
OUTPUT literally circles the globe and is
heard in all quarters of the earth. These

ibers have been completed and 2S1 are now
IN process of manufacture. and the gun
mounts. turret fittings and miscellaneous
details Of the ordnance outfits of new ves-
sells have also been manufactured.
Engraving and Printing.
The government printing Office and the
bureau Of engraving and printing are the
two other most important Industrial estab-
lishments Of the government in the nation
al capital. All government publications
come from the printing office. The value
of its annual product. about 5000, 600. best
illustrates the amount of work carried on
there. The bureau of engraving and print
ing is where the paper money Of the country
is engraved and printed, as well as the
postage stamps, the United States bonds
and all tine engraving work needed by the
government departments.
The Neighborhood Industries
The largest of the ''neighborhood indus
tries" are naturally those OF the building
trades. The annual value of the masonry
operations IN the District is between 81, 500,
600 and 100000. There are seventy-one
masonry concerns, employing / ,675 men and
paying annual wages of nearly one million
dollars. These masonry concerns represent
capital invested of more than $685., COO

and the truth of this assertion Is substan-
tiated by the mere reference to the fact
that there are in this city at least three eX-
amples of the genius of the great Richard
son, who was the founder of the Roman
esque school. Here may also be found 6X-
amples of the work of the best living archi-
tectS of the country, and 1t is also a SHly
creditable fact that some of the best archl-
tectural work here came from the draught
ing boards of architects whose offices are
in this city.
One cause for Washington being properly
and truly called a city of homes is due to
the fact that homecoming is SO general
here, and Is common to all classes in the
community. In this respect the opportuni-
ties afforded here for people Of mod
crate means to secure their own homes are
such that the practice is very general to
buy rather than to rent. A large number
of people, who for one reason or another,
are not in active business, but who have
modest income, find that the advantages or
Washington are superior to those of any
other city, and this class of residents is
largely increasing. They buy homes rang
ing from 5000 upward, and find that this
sum, which would be regarded a s an ex-
ceedingly small amount elsewhere to be
expended for such purpose, provides them
with not only a comfortable home, but one
that is attractive, and, above all, is located
In section which is desirable and agreea-
BILE as a place of residence.
Practically all parts of Washington are
pleasant, because in the first place the
streets are Wloe ana spacious, with ire
| quent parks, and they are shaded by hand
some trees. Fortunately the trees, which
are the chief beauties Of the city, are not
confined to any one street or any one sec
ton of the city, but they flourish impartial
| ly in all parts, and give their quiet beauty
| and agreeable shade to the poor and rich
| alike. Then the system of parking which
| provides a grassy lawn in front of each
| house is general and a stretch of green
greets the eye of the poor man agree
| ably when he enters his humble home as it
does the eye of the wealthy man when he
returns to his abode.

There are two systems of enumeration IN

the former the billion is a million of mil.

each denomination is a million times the
one preceding. In the latter (Which is the
system used In the United States) the BILL
lion is thousand millions, and each de-
nomination is Thousand times the preced-
ing. Therefore. ACCORDING to the English
notation, trillion is the product of a mil
lion involved to the third power or tha
number represented by unit with eighteen
ciphers annexed; according to the French
