Z x 7 ASHINGToN. at this season
NM of jhe year the mecca of
sightseers from all over the
United States. has a greater diversity of
attractions. in all probability. than any
other city of the nation. Many tourists
come to admire the Capitol. the White
House, and the other grand public build
ings merely for their architectural beau
ty and historic associations. Others
seek glimpses of the treasures preserved
indoors, as the books in the Library Of
Congress and the curios in the National
Museum, or the wonderful things to be
seen in the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing and other mechanical work
shops But above all else the visitor
is impressed with the beauty of the
parks of the city, and the impression
is more lasting than that received from
any other feature of Washington. AS
he goes down the shady avenues he feels
as though he were walking in the gar
dens Of courtIy Versailles, so green and
pleasant and classic are the public
squares and the lawns about the mag
nificent buildings which lend dignity TO
the Capital of the Nation. He turns a
corner and his eyes are refreshed by
GASES of green grass, shaded by elms
and cottonwoods, naples and birches,
frightened by beds of tulips gaudy in
and yellow. hyacinths in great blue
clusters, the pale purple Of the lilacs
just bursting into bloom, and the white
masses of budding dogwood and SNOW
BALL." and through the leafy vistas
of the trees he catches sight of the
white columns of a stately colonial
mansion house.
Many Visitors Delighted.
All sightseers. with hardly an indi-
vidual exception. spend a great deal
of time in admiring the wonderful beau
~ of the park system of the National
Capital, but few indeed out of the thou
sands of visitors TO this great city, ever
know of the intricate details and the
exceeding amount of care and time
given to secure this result
In the shadow of the Washington
Monument. in The area extending from
the Bureau of Engraving to the Bathing
Beach in the inner basin. workmen are
now as busy as hive of bees. This is
the location of the propagating gardens.

COMPREHENSIVE little French
work, under the singular title OF

furnishes some interesting statistics as
TO the span of life a man or woman may
reasonably expect 10 enjoy. According to
IT'S tables about one in three will live
10 see the three-score and ten years of
the psalmist.
Taking a million as a basis of calcula-
ton, this work states that at the end or
seventy years there will still survive
312 coo out of 100000 persons. AS fe-
male longevity is greater than that of
the male sex. this would make a ratio Of
about one in three for women and one
in four for men who out of million
births in the same year viii live to
be seventy.
At the expiration of eighty years there
will be 100000 survivors Of the original
million This would make an average,
roughly of one in nine for women, and
one N ten for men TO reach eighty years
of age. When it comes to ninety years
of existence there is a terrible thinning

FRANCHISE IS GRANTED.

Whatcom-By unanimous vote the
council has granted the Whatcom-
Skagit Interurban Railroad company
I franchise over certain streets de
sired to connect with an electric line
which the company is to build be
tween Mount Vernon and Demlng ID
Whatcom county. The franchise was
defeated at the last council meeting,
but was reconsidered on motion OF
Councilman ECkardt.
This practically assures the build
ing of the electric road, as the local
people who have obtained the fran
chise are backed by prominent east
ern capitalists. The survey OF the
route will be started within month
and completed before the rainy season
sets in. Forty -four miles of aValla

THE PILGRIM FOR AUGUST.

The Pilgrim for August appears in
q striking cover from a design by w.
H. D. Koener. Indeed, it is not too
much to say that no summer issue
of an American magazine ever was
more charmingly CARRIER. The first
article is entitled, The Great White
Shepherd of Rome it being an inter
view with POpe Leo obtained not long
since, an added interest in which is
due to the fact that it is the only IN
terview ever afforded a Journalist by
the aged pOntiff A second article
of decided interest is by Henry u.
LLOYD. noted as sOciologrst ana stu
dent of economics, who writes OF
THE Public and the Coal Question.
TIE issue contains several illustrated
articles Of a lighter nature, among
which may be enumerated, Bohemia
and .D0hemians of Yesterday" by
lanes L. Ford; "a Hot Night in Chi
cago." by Kenneth HEREFORD: "Cy
cling Through Tuscany and Umbr1a,
hv Carl Vrooman; The Democracy
Of lanes Russell Lowell and a
eDriehtlv article by Vance Thompson,
familiar to readers Of the magazines
% novelist and essayist, entieled,
Paris at Play" which is deliberately
illustrated from drawings. In fiction
The Pilgrim for August is rich: A
story by Caroline Lockhart, entitled,
.Peebles' Peers" treats with delc
ious humor of the jury system. BE
tween Two Worlds" by Curtis Dun
ham and Oliver Herford, nears its
conclusion, aud there is also an IN
stalment of Gustav Hobbies charm
inc novelette,. He Stoops to Con
quer." Two pages Of the August issue
are given up to a series of striking
farm pictures. which are grouped un
der the collective title: Next the
Ground" All the departments that
have in the past met with Pilgrim
