HOTEL LOBBY GLEANINGS
Il. $. HOLMES, OF THE AGRICULTURE
AL DEPARTMENT, IN TOWN.
He says Secretary Wilson Is Doing
Much for the Farmers of the
COuntry-HoteI Visitors.

T.. S. Holmes, of Washington. ID. c., an
attache of the Department of Agriculture,
is at the Hotel English. He has been con-
rected with the department for about ten
years and declares that Secretary Wilson,
who is at the head of the department, is
doing more for farmers than any other
secretary has done. Mr.. Wilson is a prac-
teal farmer himself and is not contented
with sitting down in his office and letting
his men do the work. He goes out over the
country a good deal and keeps in touch
with the farmers.
They tell a story at the expense of our
department" said Mr.. Holmes, ito the
effect that we have been trying to graft
Strawberries with milk-weed in order to
get a plant that will grow Strawberries
and cream. Seriously, however, the de-
partmeht is experimenting all the time.
1t is due to the Department. of Agricul-
ture that the navel orange was given to the
public. The original tree which bore the
first seedless orange is still standing in
the hothouse at Washington"
The Department of Agriculture gets out
a report of the crop conditions of the coun-
try the 10th of every month. On the day
the report is printed in Washington "A
copy of IL is mailed to every postmaster in
the country. Within a few days after the
reports are printed every farmer in the
country has the privilege of finding out
just what the crop conditions have been in
different parts of the country. Mr.. Holmes
says the department has 100000 correspond
ents in different parts of the country. Each
of these is expected 10 send in a report
every month. Four men are kept travelling
about the country and when any unusual
condition is reported one of these men is
sent there to investigate. Mr.. Holmes says

Our Unwise Ways.

New York Evening Sun.
The French laundress who has never
heard of her fellow-countryman, NJ. Hughes
lie Roux, much less of his recent lecture
charging American women with gross ex-
travagance compared with French women,
gave testimony to precisely the same thing
the other day. "Ah,' sighed the laundress,
with an accent impossible to reproduce,
I'VE may save more money in America,
but think how much more we spend over
here. In France, if a man and his wife
earn enough TO be neat and clean and well
fed they are content. Their work and the
knowledge that they do ii well are enough.
But here, so soon as a man and his wife
begin to earn money, they try to ape the
rich. No longer are they content with a
clean kitchen, with spotless floor and we'll
scrubbed tables and chairs. There must be
a 'parlor,' with lace curtains, plush-covered
furniture and mantel ornament and melO-
deon, and il doesn't in the least seem to
matter whether these things are tidy or
not, so long as they are there. AS fast as
more money is earned il goes in more
things in imitation of the well-to-do. Not
old-time contentment is replaced by a vain
ambition to ape that which is unworthy Of
aping." In vain did the American into
whose ears this plant was poured reply
that the unworthy ambitions would, in
time, give way to worthy ones-that the
plush-covered furniture and lace curtains
and melodeon would be succeeded by A
planted French laundress merely shook her
head and sighed: ''In France one is con
tent with little; here, no matter how much
one has, one wants more"

On the Shelf.

Margaret Deland, in Harper's Bazaar.
This is the time of the real growing pains
of life, but they come, not to those who
grow, but to those who are outgrown. Prob
ably they are at their worst when we have
just reached the shelf. but do not know it.
IT is a period OF helpless struggle; we are
bewildered and very much hurt because
some fine day the young fry smile good
naturally at each other over one of our
wise sayings and then go their own gait.
1t is their way of saying: You are on the
shelf. dears; now don't bother u.s." The
blank and angry establishment of the
shelved at this frank information breaks
out in vehement denial of that fact. Like
the borrower of the kettle who declared
that il was cracked when he got it, whole
when ne sent it back, and that he never
borrowed the old kettle, anyway, so the
shelved cry out that the shelf is the wisest
place in the world, that they are not on
il, and that there is no shelf. anyway,
OF course, such denial is perfectly useless.
L yet 1t seems to be one of the ways in which
we human creatures meet this dreadful
moment Of revelation. There are only three
ways TO meet IL, and we must choose one or
the other of them. The first is this of de-
NAL OF the shelf-a course often taken bv
fathers and mothers even while they are
reaching out and pulling up some reluctant
child TO sit beside them in the dust and
gloom. This way makes daily life lust
about as miserable as il can Depart
from absolute sin, which is, of course. en-
tirely another matter.

POLICE FORCE CHANGES
TWO ADDITIONAL BICYCLE POLICE
MEN TO BE NAMED.
Chauncey Manning May Become n De-
Observation-Disclosures I'M
prOvemcnt-City Affairs.

Several appointments are expected in the
police department this morning. The
Board of Safety may announce, it is stated,
the name of a bicycle patrolman to sue
coed Chauncey Manning and the name Of
two additional bike men to strengthen
the corps.
Manning to-day becomes a detective to
succeed Martin MGuff, who has been
transferred to the fire department. The
board is considering several applications
for Manning's place. 1t is the intention
to appoint a regular p~atrolman if possible.
A place on the bicycle force is regarded in
the nature of a promotion and the prelim-
mary step towards becoming a detective.
1t is desired by nine patrolmen out of ten,
but the ambitions of many are thwarted
on account of their size and weight. 1t is
necessary that a bike" man be not too
large or heavy.
The board announced several days ago
that the force of bicyclemen was to be in
creased, and purchased two extra bicycles
when the new consignment of wheels was
ordered. In the last year the duties of the
bicyclemen have so increased that the
overworked half-doZen now constituting
the force are kept busy almost night and
day. Two more men at least are needed,
and it is believed that the board may name
them to-day. 1t is likely that they will be
chosen from the regular men and the
places of the regulars filled by outside APP
pOintments.
