About the political set in Washington
The lgure and character of the average
legislator in America are too well known
TO require emphasis here
At home they are, as abroad. sleek,
oily, fair-worded, and foul-minded They
dress. as Il rule, IN the most eEztraordi-
nary way. and are generally to be seen
of the city.
Their wives are generally kindly.

strong nasal accent. There are, of
course. many exceptions TO this rule; L
speak simply Of the average.
Is The Old Washingtonians.
This class comprises the old families
who lived there during or before the
war. and such others as they have from
time 10 time admitted within their por-.
tails
They are usually Southern, or partly
so. in blood. are sympathetic with
Southern ambitions and aspirations, and
are Democratic" in politics, though
very '.aristocratic" in their social life.
With them family is the standard
persons are judged by, irrespective of
wealth
These good people are undoubtedly
iiarroW stfd provincial IN the extreme,
and their entertainments would be con-
sidered, nay, are. dull in these days
Their manners lack the free and vuI-
gar familiarity of their rivals but are
cordial and hospitable to those they
like They love to talk of their past
power and influence In the days before
the war.
They are nearly always Episcopalians
in religion, though there are some good
Catholic families among them. Ali at
tend to their religious duties, and most
own pews in the better churches of the
city.
The young men of these families,
sons of lawyers, bankers, statesmen, or
soldiers, are of finer caliber than the
sons of the nouyeau richie They are
acter and honesty. and live decent, up
right lives, like their fathers before

Is Washington Deteriorating?
Washington is beautiful to look upon
from. the outside: from the inside it
loses that beauty There is but little
culture now, and what there is is kept
under a bushel, for society worships the
golden calf.
Vulgar display and debauchery Of ey-
cry kind are more or less rampant Nor
ais among the nouyeau richie are al a
low ebb Women are not looked UP TO
and respected as they Were. and the
fault lies largely with them
All this is unpleasant. There is also
of course, another life led by a quiet.

Calls the Squirrel a Criminal.

wish to take away for all time the
character of the squirrel. He is
thief and murderer. Admired by
ignorant city people and by journalists
he devotes his life to eating the eggs
and killing the young of harmless and
useful birds which. If permitted to live
and increase, would protect the for
ests from harmful insects. BY killing
these birds the squirrel takes rank as
forest destroyer. Moreover, the red
squirrel Is not the only sinner. In my
opinion the gray is almost, il not quite,
as bad.
have killed many squirrels caught
in the act of eating eggs or young
birds. Any bird that selects a nesting
place which is also adapted to the use
of squirrels is almost certain to be
elected. When forest has been de-
stroyed by fires, lumbermen. or in
sects, it is almost impossible for nat
ural reforesting to take place If squir-
rels are abundant in an adjoining
tract, because they eat the seeds. Fifty
seeds per head each day would be a
low estimate. Yet even this would
make 1880 in a year. And seeds are
not the only thing. In winter the
ground is often stripped of buds by
squirrels. The trees attacked are gen
orally situated at the border of dense
forest and would, If left alone. yield
the greatest seed crop. A single squir.
rel thus destroys in one day thousands
of seeds in the germ. In Montana
have seen the grays rob birds nests.

Great Awakening Predicted.

That the golden age of religious en-
thusiasm and activity Is about to
sweep over this country and that an
unequaled spiritu"' revival is to be ex-
perienced, is the prediction made by
Rev. DR.. Newell Dwight Hills. in a
sermon at Plymouth Church. Brooklyn.
Society has passed through the era
of criticism and analysis and is now
becoming creative" he said. I'VE have
been In a dollhouse condition for
tweny years. We have analyzed the
Bible and dogmatized the Bible, and
have had heresy trials that were more
dangerous than Chicago fires. and we
have asked questions and answered
them. We. have passed from the old
thought that the world was created in
six days to the new thought that God
Is making a new world every moment.
At length we understand that God Is
not far of, that he Is not to interrupt
our laws with miracles. but that he is
close to man and is living with him
all the time. All this is the result OF
science. We are at the beginning of
one of the greatest church-going
epochs in all history"

there this morning. Last Monday Mr..

daughter, Mrs. Ina Apted, was critic

started from Trinidad at once, hoping
to see the stricken woman before she
passed away. They were too late,
however. as Mrs. Apted died Tuesday,
three hours before they reached her
bedside. The shock was too great for
Mrs. Learnard, and she survived her
daughter but three days. The Learn

Children May Ride to School.

Denver, Jan. ia News special
from Longmont. Colorado, says: A
great deal of agitation has been dis
PLAYED among the farmers here of late
in favor of the passage of new school
law which will make possible the cen
tralization of rural schools and the
TRANSFORMATION of pupils to such schools
in the same manner as has been done
in Ohio and several eastern states.
This matter was first agttated In the
Farmers Institute two years ago. but
they were too late to get bill before
the Legislature. This year such Dill
has been framed and will be intro
duced by Representative ]. b. Thomp-
son. The law already provides for
uniting contiguous districts. but makes
no provision for conveyance of pupils.
Several districts in this vicinity, 1t Is
thought, will take advantage Of such
law If it is passed.

A little boy of eight years whose
parents did not feed him on the right
kind of food. was always nervous and
suffered from weak condition OF the
stomach and bowels. Finally he was
taken down with appendicitis and
after the operation the doctor, know
Ing that his Intestinal digestion was
very weak. put him on Grape-Nuts
twice a day.
He rapidly recovered and about two
months thereafter, his Father states.
He has grown to be strong, muscu-

1t is plain that If he had been put
on Grape-Nuts at an earlier period in

foods that he could not digest. he new
