There could have been no more fitting
place for the holding Of the recent meet
Ing of the American Association For
the Advancement of Science than the
national capital. nor is there any rea-
son why Washington should not be the
scientific as well as the political center
IF the country. For this the Capital City
b perhaps better equipped than any
other city in the country. AS the
Washington Star truly says: Here are
gathered the governments remarkable
collections. Here labor the men who
are bringing the standard of public
work to a high point. Here are the
bureaus which in various directions are
contributing materially TO the scientific
education Of the people and to their
practical welfare"

While local civic pride is highly
commendable and the people Of every

the highest development of the national
capital. II is now the most beautiful

PRIVATE CARS COMMON
Used Not so Much by Very Rich as
by Men Who Are Very Busy.

by Men Who Are Very Busy.
In the minds 'of ordinary persons
private cars, with their sumptous
furnishings, are an extravaganza of
the very rich, or vehicles for presl-
dents and directors of railroads to
travel over the country in an elegant
leisure, says the Chicago Record
Herald.
AS a matter of fact, these private
cars are a great investment for the
railroad companies In many in.
stances they pay for themselves over
and over again. Where there was one
private car ten years ago there are
twenty today. From luxurles they
have become a medium of saving of
time and a business gain. All the i'm.
portant lines keep five or ten private

Uncle Matthew Had to DO Things in

Those well-meaning but often eXas.

in one way are well drawn by Mr.. elf.
ton Johnson, who, in a jaunt through
Long Island, came upon typical New
England character in the Uncle
Matthew" whom he thus describes in
New England and Its Neghbors:'
A tall, bony old man was working al
large button-ball tree he had Just cut
down. 1t had fallen across the high.
way, and the top reached the opposite
curbing. The man was chopping off
limbs and trimming the brush from
each in turn, quite oblvious of any
need of opening the street to traffic.
Some of the teams turned about and
sought another thoroughfare; others
joggled upon the curbing and drove
along the sidewalk. Presently a man
with load of brick alighted and ap.
preached his neighbor, who was still
pecking away at the brush.
See here, Uncle Matthew" said he,
"why don't you cut off these top
branches, so teams can go pastT
wal, I'm a-golng to-"
"But you no need to trim all the brush
first"
