The passage BY the senate Of the bill
to create department Of commerce
and labor, with its head to be a menu
Der of the cabinet, is interesting as a
historical Development, as well as a
sociological fact. Only four officials
secretary Of state, secretary Of the
treasury, secretary of war and an
attorney general sat at the council
table of President Washington. The
head of the war department at that
time had charge OF the political end Of
the navy, as well as of the army a de-
partment of the navy, however, was
created in 1898, during John Adams
administration, at time that war
seemed to be imminent with France
on account of that country's assaults
on American commerce and outrage

The fifth cabinet post thus appeared.

BY the time that Jackson entered Of

the country had grown to be so large
that the man in charge of it, who had
been mere bureau official before that

the great executive departments
When William T. Barry, at the begin

we have our hands full. with our new
water works, sewerage system paved
str eets, new fountain and bandstand,
not to mention the building of a new

Importance of the agricultural inter-
ests a department to concern itself
with the great activities was created
in 1889, near the end of Cleveland's
first term, and Norman j. Colman, of
Missouri, was its first head.
The growth of the cabinet posts
from four places in Washington's days
to eight for the past dozen years, and
the ninth place post is likely to be
established before the present session
of congress ends, is merely a formal
recognition of the expansion in the
number and Importance of the coun-
try's interests. Twice as many per-
sons are in the cabinet in Roosevelt's
time as were there in the days of the
country's first president, but the
United States itself is about 20 times
as large as it was then, and it has q
hundred times the wealth and does
more than hundred times the BUSH
ness that it did at that time. The
S70,000,000 of merchandise exports in
1S00-and they were much larger then
than when Washington first entered
otfice-had grown to not far from ST.
100000, 900 in 1900 and in 1901, while the
domestic trade had expanded in far
larger degree. The increase step by
step in the number of members of the
presidents official family in the past
hundred years and over tells the story
of the great expansion which has been
made in the country's interests and ac-
tivities

Signal for All Nations.


For some time a novel alarm signal
has been in use on the Alps, and se
successful has it proved that several
European journals are now suggesting
thaS it be made international instead
of merely local.
The signal consists of a shout or
whistle or a gunshot, which may be
repeated six times. A traveller who
loses his way on the Alps can also give
the alarm by brandishing a lighted
lantern six times at regular intervals.
The essential feature of the signal Is
that the shout or the whistle or the
gunshot must be repeated six times
no more and no less. Anyone who
hears such a signal is bound to respond
Immediately.
Before, however, he goes to the as
sistance of the person in need, he must
let him know that his appeal for help
has been heard, and this he is to do
either by shouting or whistling three
times, or by firing three shots.

what They Did with the seeds.

This is the season of the year when
each congressman receives from the
agricultural department several thou
sand packages OF garden seeds. When
a congressman's district consists of
nothing but houses, and where there
are no back yards. like Representative
Rupperts bailiwick, the seeds are trad
ed off for public documents. Mr. Rup-
pert. however, sent few packages 70
his New York city constituents as An
experiment. Some of the sGsds went
to people living in a model tenement.
A few days ago Mr., Rupert received
a letter from the owner OF the tene-
ment. please do not send any more
seeds" he wrote. The people in my
building have converted all their bath
tubs into gardens. The scheme is all
right so far as irrigation is concerned,
but it is little tough on the tuba

Superstition is not yet dead A few

summer months. The letter was not
well written but the woman can hard

wrote to say that there was somebody
in that coast village who had been ill
wished and was in consequence likely
to die. She had heard that in the
town to which she had addressed her
letter there was skillful white witch
who, for a consideration. would be
willing to provide the sufferer with
charm which would be a sovereign
cure, She asked the lady to endeavor
to discover the name and address OF
the benefactor. That such a letter
should be written in these civilized
days is not specially surprising. but
the instances are not worth noting,
