Last year the Department of Agri-
culture sent out 5,772, 400 packets of
flower and vegetable seeds. The
amount of seed required to fill these
packets would fill twenty eight cars of
30, 600 pounds each. The work Of
packing the seeds is done by contract.
The contractor is paid at fat rate
for SO many thousand packets. The
most of the work is done by machines
and about seventy-five men and
women are employed.

It is seldom that one refuses q sum
Of $50. 600 which could be had for the
asking. but that is what Mrs. Mary
Larabee has done. She is missionary
at Urumia, Persia. Her husband.
Rev. Benjamin w. Larabee, was killed
by religious fanatics, and the United
States Government demanded an
indemnity Of go, 600 Of the Persian
Government. which the latter was
about to pay. Mrs. Larabee. however.
feared that when the people in her
district heard Of it. they would make
life burden for the missionaries. and
render her efforts as q missionary
fruitless. So she decided to ask the
Department. of State Of withdraw its
demand.

It is queer how some negroes hang
tenaciously to the idea of the social
equality Of the white and the black
races. Booker T. Washington knows
better than to ever expect such a
state of affairs. but the average negro
of Washington looks upon it as near
possibility. In 9 great many homes of
the negroes of Washington may be seen
a large picture of President Roosevelt
and Booker T. Washington seated at
a table together. upon which an
elaborate dinner has been spread.
Across the surface of the spotless table,
cloth, which hangs over the edge of
the table to the floor, is the words. in
bold letters, EQUALITY. 1t is
said that the man who conceived the
bright scheme of making these
pictures and selling them to the colored
people, has made fortune at the busi-
ness.

A good deal Of surprise was caused
by the action Of Secretary Of the Navy
Bonaparte in awarding part of the
contract for the armor for the Michigan
and South Carolina to the armor trust.
The Midvale Steel Go. had underbid
the trust nearly half million dol.
lars, on competitive bid. which had
been advertised by the government
in apparent good faith. The trust
Immediately sent their representatives
to Washington to beg for part of the
contract on the ground that they
would be forced out of business il
some of the work was not given tC
them. To the surprise of everyone
they succeeded in getting a good
share of the contract.

The charge has been made that
COWS, pianos. and other like objects,
have been sent through the mails by
the use of government franks. A new
postal regulation looking to the
abolishment Of the evil is likely to
be the outcome Of the abuse of a
privilege which the government has
generously given to certain Of its
officers.
