WASHINGTON Letter.
From our own correspondent.

The bureau of chemistry of the agricul-
tural department has discovered a new
dodge of the foreign houses importing
food stutfs into this country, to evade
the law. One of the favorite practices of
the French exporters was to send scraps
and stalks of mushrooms to this country
as "best French mushrooms The
department of agriculture forced the
importers to label "pieces and stems"
under the penalty for false branding. But
recently the French canneries have taken
to sending the scraps without brand or
label of any sort, and as they were not
branded, they could not be said to have
evaded the law. The labels of course
were pasted on after they arrived and
there was no action possible except in
such states as have pure food laws. DR..
Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemistry
thinks however that he will be able to
catch the shippers under their customs
declaration and force them to declare the
contents of the cans in plain language
4
1t is understood that congress will re-
member the president, in a way, soon.
Since the order of the railroads cutting
off passes, which by the way only applies
to people who do not know how to work
the roads, there has been considerable
criticism of the fact that the president
has to pay all his own travelling expenses
except on occasions when he accepts
transportation from some road which he
does not often do. OF course all the
roads are very glad to place the best of
their equipment at his disposal whenever
he will use it, But on the occasion of
his Colorado bear hunt, be paid all of
his own travelling expenses, though
there have been runs up to Oyster
Bay when be did accept transporta-
ton. Now congress proposes to place
him beyond the necessity of either
paying his own fare or accepting courte
sizes from the roads by making an annual
appropriation to cover the presidents
travelling expenses. This provision will
be added to one of the appropriation
bills and will be made ample to cover all
contingencies.

The Baby.

dixie tiny CLINT of light piercing through
the dusky gloom
Comes her little laughing face through
the shadows of my room.
And my pen forgets its way as it hears
her patt'rng tread,
While her pratting treble tones chase
the thoughts from out my head
She is queen, and her slave-one who
loves her aud obeys;
For she rules her world of home with
imperious baby ways.
In she dances, calls me Dear" turns
the pages of my books;
Throws herself upon my knee. takes my
pen with laughing looks.
Makes disorder reign supreme, turns my
papers upside down,
Draws me cabalistic signs safe from
fear of any frown.
Crumbles all my verses up, pleased to
hear the cracking sound;
Makes them into balls and then-fngs
them all upon the ground.
Suddenly she fits away, leaving me
alone again
With a warmth about my heart and a
brighter, clearer brain.
And although the thoughts return that
her coming drove away,
The remembrance of her laugh fingers
with me through the day.
And as chances, as write, / may take a
\ crumpled sheet,

my fancies twice as sweet.

WOMEN As POLE HUNTERS.
Need Less Oxygen Than Men and Al.
ready Have Cold Feet,


Thre women are going with Peary
on his polar exploration trip. But
they are only booked for a part Of the
way. When the real difficulties may
be expected they will turn back to
warmth and civilization.
This is disappointing. If women
want to put a stop to such accusations
as that recently made by ~Labouchere,
chat they cannot fight and therefore
should not vote, they ought not to
back out Of such expeditions as that
of Peary
By nature, women are adapted to
discovering the poles. The scientists
tell us that women breathe with the
upper part of their lungs and need less
oxygen than men. That is why they
can stand corsets and keep warm in
diaphanous garments when a man
wants a summer overcoat. That is
why they are so partial to ices. That
is why they seldom complain Of cold
feet after tripping through the slush
in slippers. What is needed, in order
to speedily find the North pole, is an
expedition whose members won't get
cold feet.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
