REMOVAL OF SNOW AND ICE.
Com missfOners Ask Congress for an
APPROPRIATION of $4,000.

Appropriation of $4,000.
The District, Commissioners today for
Warded to Congress an estimate for an ap-
preparation of $4,000 for the removal Of
snow and Ice from the streets of the Dis
trict, to be made Immediately available
In the regular appropriation bill provid-
Ing for the expenses of the District during
the present fiscal year, the sum of only
$1,000 was provided for the removal of
snow and ice in the District Already
about $500 of that amount had been ex-
pended when the snow of this morning
arrived On the strength of the $500 re-
naming for the purpose, the superintend-
ent of street cleaning Mr.. Warner Stutler,
this morning sent out gang of workmen
to keep the principal street crossings down
town as clear as possible.
The street crossing cleaning work is all
that is justified by the present available
appropriation and it is stated that with the
force now employed even this work will
have to be suspended by tomorrow noon
The $4,000 asked for by the Commission
ers will not only suffice to clean away the
present snow, unless there should be an
unloOked-fOr heavy additional fall, but will
leave q good balance to take care of any
storms which may be expected during Feb
ruary and March.
Needs of the Poor Increased
The Associated Charities and the Citi-
zens' Relief Association are already expert
encing, in their seven offices throughout the
city, the serious results of the heavy snow
storm. Widows who have small children to
support are less able than usual to go out
to work Coal and cinders cannot be gath
cred from the ash dumps. Snow sifts
through the numerous creViceS and broken
window panes in alley shantes. Altogeth-
er, the heavy burdens which these two as
sociations bear throughout the winter are
increased by the present storm. There is
need for generous assistance at once from
all public-spirted citizens.
Since October l there have been MANY
generous responses from about 300 SUBJ
scribers, but not enough has yet been Sc
cured to make sure that the work will not
have to be cut down at the latter part of
the season, when assistance is much need

4 BEAUTIFUL PEST.
HOW a LITTLE PLANT BECAME THE
ScOURGE OF TWO STATES.

Uncle SANS Aid Invoked to Rid
Florida Rivers of the Water Hya-
cinth-WonderfuI Growth Impedes
Navigation.
That pretty water plant bearing
gemlike blossoms of white. pink and
blue should become pest that threat
ems the inland commerce of two states
and has caused the expenditure of
thousands of dollars seems at first
thought Incredible. Nevertheless it is
true of the water hyacinth.
The hyacinth that blooms in SO lovely

terrible scourge. Il menace to the navi-
CATION of the rivers and creeks and has
cost steamboat companies and lumber
men large amount of money in the
vain endeavor To clear out the st.
Johns and its tributaries. 1t has also
invaded Louisiana and Texas, but Flor
ida is the greatest sufferer.
The hyacinth was introduced into
Florida many years ago by planter
living near Palatka. on the St Johns,
fifty-seven miles above Jacksonville.
1t speedily houriShed and was the own
erS admira lion and delight. Later the
plants began spreading and soon COW
cred the bayous in the st. Johns near
his place. and later they spread to
south Florida. Year by year the inya-
sion increased. and soon the rivers and
creeks became almost impossible for
boats by reason of the immense beds
of hyacinths clogging up the waters.
Sawmils. which abound along the st.
Johns river ana its tributaries, were
compelled to cease operations. Because
of the hyacinthS choking the streams

effort 20 get rid of the pest. They all
failed. At length the general govern

trouble WAS experienced. and the gov

The best way of hanging a curtain is
by rings from a stout pole if it is
heavy or from Il slender brass rod if it
Is light Window curtains may reach
to the floor and be looped back with
bands of themselves or they may be
pushed back and hang on either side In
straight folds to the sill. Then they
frame the window without contradict
ing its lines. a good finish is a valance
across the top anywhere from ten to
twenty inches deep. according to the
height and shape of the window. or a
short piece like section of a valance
may hang between the two curtains,
connecting them. In thin curtains
rings may be dispensed with, and the
brass rod may run through a casing
made for it, with a standing ruffle
above
OF course a heavy curtain-velours,
damask, burlap or what not-has no
ruffie on top. 1t either hangs from
rings or has deep casing on the pole.
Any extra length may be allowed to
hang over. With a fringe or border
1t makes u good finish. 1t should not,
however, be more than twenty inches
and that only in high room.
