A Palm Garden.
Comparatively few Westinghouse
are aware that the largest palm garden
in the United States is located in Wash
ington within a government building
on the principal thoroughfare of the
city and daily passed by thousands OF
peueSIrlaIlS-
This garden was started about two
years ago. 1t is hoped that within
few years the place will become the
most beautiful conservatory of palms
to be seen in any city in this country
The idea of making a palm garden
of the big court of the post office build
ing originated with William r. Smith,
the veteran superintendent of the bo-
tanic gardens. Mr.. Smith is one of the
most learned and enthusiastic students
of palms in the world. His long ana
practical experience as a gardener, to-
gether with his wide knowledge and
observation, has made him an expert
in this line.

Budget Meakin, n sociolOgist of Eng

ing the ''undersidc of life" says that he
has found situation, even in the beau
tiful city of Washington, which would
shock even the Londoners.
You have worse places right here in
Washington" said he. with all it's fine
buildings and5 wide streets, than even
London can produce. l have found
buildings here inhabited by human be-
ings that would not be tolerated in
London for "a day, even If inhabited by
a coster's donkey.
"Within a stones throw of the Brit
ish embassy saw novels today not fit
for pigs to live in. and within few
hundred yards of your beautiful capitol
1 found nj similar situation.
"Ten years ago l came here to study
the architecture and landscape of the
American capital. 1 am here now to
study the other side, and / am very
much shocked to find that there is an
other Side, a worse. side than l ever
dreamed of. 1 shall take back with
me TOT London a different picture this

maux just in time for the elections of
1898, and Professor Jaures gave the
miners the help of his eloquence. In
return their votes carried him trium-
phantly back to parliament as a Radical
Socialist. But his evolution to ''cOllec-
twist socialism soon became complete.
In a notable speech he warned the
ndicals that ''the workman must have
more of the tangible joys of life unless
society is to have a rude awakening"
Near the close of his term Jaures
made a fiery speech in parliament in
favor of the revision of the Dreyfus
case. This was the cause of a personal
collision with the Comte de Bernis,
but resulted in giving Dreyfus a new
trial in 1899. AT the elections of 1898
he again lost his seat. For four years
JaureS had a vacation from parlia-
mentary duties. He used it thoroughly
to increase and strengthen his leader
ship of the parliamentary Socialist par
ty. At the last election he was again
returned, and he was also elected to the
Office of vice president of the chamber
of deputies.
Jean Jaures was the man whose
mention of the name of President
Roosevelt was so enthusiastically
cheered in connection with his speech
on the mining troubles last fall.
France was undergoing the inconven-
fence of mining strike at the same
time that the anthracite strike in this
country was receiving so much public
attention.
The Jaures Socialists are fighting
polite. First they are fighting cleric
aIism. The elimination of the ele-
ment of religion from the state and
state control is their first great aim.
The elimination of nationalism and
patriotism. so called. from politics is
the second object of these later So
cialists. After clericalism and mill
tarfsm comes the third foe, the power
of money in the individual or in the
organized syndicate or trust.
In stature NJ. Jaures, the leader OF
this party, is powerfully built, short.
massive, vigorous, with a head that
is almost as square as a block. His
burly frame and full, rudy face, with
waving brown hair and bushy beard.
exale the joy and energy of life HIS
big voice booms like church bell
Whenever and wherever he speaks he
attracts the French, and holds them
srSCllbound by his eloquence.

Behind the recent agitation in the

Jean Leon Jaures IS the leader of tbs

One of the youngest of the political
leaders, he eXerts an influence that

There is nothing of the ordinary self

The young Jaures seemed cut out for

himself at the Ecole Normale, which
ranks highest among French schools
since it prepares the university pro-
fessors. After the usual term of teach
ing in a provincial college he was ap-
pointed to a post in philosophy in the
university faculty of Toulouse.
He was just twenty-six years old
when his native district of Tarn, in
1885, sent him to parliament as a
Moderate Republican. Moderate he re-
manned for four years of his term, al

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
Laundering Lace Curtains.


With the spring housekeeping the
question of laundering lace curtains
usually comes to the front. City peo-
pie ordinarily send them to a cleaner
because there is nowhere to spread
them when the family overfows every
corner of n fat, but where there is
room they are nicely done at home.
Shake any dust thoroughly from the
curtains and then soak them over
night in plenty of cold water. In the
morning rinse them out of several wa
tiers before putting them into suds.
After doing this put them in hot sudS
and wash them by sopping and sQueez-
ing. Wash in n second tub of suds,
then put them into tub of boiling wa
ter. After an hour rinse thoroughly.
If you wish to have them very white,
slightly blue the last water, but IL an
old look is desired have the water
slightly eolored with black tea. Dry
them in the open air, then put them
through thin starch and also through
the wringer. If you have frames, put
the curtains in them, but if you have
not tack some old sheets on the floor
and put the curtains on them, being
careful to pull them straight and to
have each point drawn out and pinned
down. Two persons are almost neces-
sary for this part of the work, as upon
the careful stretching and pinning de-
pend the perfect hanging and finished
look of the curtains. Two or three cur
tains may be placed together. Two
days time is required to dry them
when they are doubled in this manner.

Bread Soup.

One way of disposing of odd scraps
of dry bread is to make a soup with
them. This can be made with quite
weak stock; the second boiling of the
bones will do. Cut up some carrots
and onions and boil them with the
stock, and when the vegetables are
nearly done break up the dry bread
into it and boil all well together, add.
Ing little burnt onion or sugar to col
or it. This bread soup will be found
to be both economical and nourishing.
