GrN. cnpRIN,s DINNERs.

Representative Livingston of Georgia in his laudable zeal to prevent the sGuandering of the public money at the Virginia maneuvers, makes the ludic- rous error of assuming that the enter tainment provided at Gen. Corbin's headquarters for foreign officers and other guests will have to be paid for by the Government. Wherefore the Georgia statesman virtuously de- nounces such expenditures as a perver- sion of public funds which Congress never contemplated, which should be thoroughly investigated, and which the President should never have permitted. All of which is amazing in view of the fact that MT. Livingston is an honored member of Congfress and should have known that army officers are required to do their own entertaining at their own expense and that neither Gen. cor- bin nor any other officer engaged in the maneuvers has ever had a thought of using a penney of public money for sucll purposes. IT Mr. Livingston had the good fortune to dine at headquart- CTS during the maneuvers 1t may sharpen his appreciation of the hospi- tality there dispensed to know that his dinner was paid for out of the pocket of the officer whose guest he was. It has also been charged that Gen Cor
 bin went to the awful extreme of pre- cribng that guests dinning with him should appear iii evening dress. This charge has since, been shown to be unfounded, but even if true, we fall to see how in becoming an officer of the Army an American citizen forfefts the right to ask his personal guests to cohnform to the polite usages Of social intercourse.

Such wives know how to bring order out of chaos. peace out of tur- moil, and make their husbands feel big and contented. They are smart wo- men, smarter than they get credit for being.

It will not be costly to be full of prunes this winter. On the Pacific coast there was left over from last years crop 165.oOo,OOO pounds of prunes. Now comes an enormous new crop, while the demand has fallen off Con sequently the growers on the other side of the continent are feeding the fresh prunes to the hogs rather than to dry and pack them. The current price of prunes is 1-s to 1-2 cents pound for all four sizes, free on board, Pacific coast.

It is a happy idea of the Japanese War Office to provide the troops in the field with illustrated postcards bearing a message for home ready printed and needing only the soldiers signature. The message runs thus: This is to let you know that I am alive and well. I cannot give you my address, for do not know where I shall be tomorrow. But your letter will reach me if you copy the postmark on this card. Greet dngs to my family and friends"

The Japanese emperor is the head of the shinto religion and is himself wor- shipped as being directly descended from the gods, and every Japanese sub ject pays him homage as such head, but this does not interfere with the sub ject's worship of multifarious other deities of the wind, the ocean, fire, food, pestilence; of mountains and rivers, and of special objects in nature-more than eight hundred in all. Buddhism was introduced from China, through Korea, in the sixth century of the Christian era.

The dust blows out of the Missouri river, says Burdette. 'It is the only river in the world where the dust blows in great columns out of the river bed
 The catfish come up to the surface to sneeze. The Missouri river is composed of six parts sand and mud and four parts water. The natural color of the water is seal brown, but when it rains for two or three days and the river gets pretty wet it changes to dark iron gray. A long rain will make this river So thin that it can easily be poured from one vessel to another like a cock tail. When it is ordinarily dry, how ever, it has to be stirred with stick before you can pour it out of anything"
