south Of the Atlas mountains. These,
with a variety known as the Rhars,
the earliest date to ripen in Biskra,
were sent to the Algerian coast. Also
shoots Of every staple variety found in
the north Algerian Sahara were added,
and b whole shipment of eight tons
was sent to Arizona. In less than forty
days after leaving the Algerian coast
the palms were in Tempe, Artz., near
Phentx, under preparation for trans
planting. Two cases of the Rhars va

Biskra, the land of dates In the old

Taking the two most favorable date re-

these two regions with Biskra, their

The date palm is not a desert plant.
It will thrive in any country where the
winters do not kill it. 1t can endure
equally well the driest and the wettest
climate, but it takes a dry and a very
hot climate to make the tree produce
good fruit An old Arabian proverb
says, 1.-THE date palm, the queen of
trees, must have her feet in the run
ming water and her head In the burning
Skies This proverb is the key to sue
cessful date culture.
The United States imports annually
100000 worth or dates. But the sue.

ing demonstrates that the end Of this
importation is in sight. 1t would seem
therefore that in date culture lies the
future of much Of the great alkalt ces-

The party or parties on the inside
heard him coming and escaped by tho
front entrance before he could secure
them. There has been q number OF
attempts at BURGLARY lately. They
are undoubtedly the attempts of ann

their nefarious proceedings it is only
a question of time before they will be

among German women of the upper
classes that regular lessons in playing
are now given in all fashionable
boarding schools for girls.
The education of German girl is
not considered complete unless she
has acquired the knowledge how to
take hand at bridge, ecarte. or one
of the other games now in vogue.
Gambling has increased to an alarm
ing extent Many households. not con-
tent with the elements Of chance in
card playing, have introduced minia-
ture roulettes and other Monte Carlo
games into their drawing rooms. and
the stakes are high.

ington from their camps in the South.
When the federal troops in 1861 set
out to invade Virginia they crossed
the Potomac by means of this bridge,
and after the battle of Bull Run they
re-crossed it in panic. The name of
the Long bridge became nationally
familiar in connection with that
disaster.
During recent years this bridge has
been occasionally 4 menace to Wash
ington, its reinforced piers choking
the channel in times of food and its
low-lying superstruoture checking the
out flow OF ice and drift wood. It has
been replsced BY two iron bridges,
one for railways and the other Tor
ordinary traffic. The old bridge is q
historic relic that will not be mourned.
The United States has ceased pay
ing the expenses Of the American
troops now stationed in Cuba, the
government authorities deciding that
the present costs be paid directly out
of the Cuban treasury. Such 10 the
information given to Congress by the
Secretary of War. Congress is Keep
ing q close watch on the Cuban
financial situation with the idea OF
curtailing further expenses in that
direction. Already something more
than 1900, 900 has been spent and
the time is drawing near when steps
will be taken to secure reimburse
ment of this amount. An itemized
account has been kept of all expendi-
lures and while the claim is not to be
pressed at present, il is believed that
an order may shortly be issued by the
president to the provisional governor
of the island to transfer a monthly
sum from the Cuban to the United
States treasury as payment on this
claim. 1t is the idea OF the committee
on appropriations of the House to
square things financially with the
Cubans and to do it as quickly as the
revenues of the island will permit.
When the president was away the
past summer and the changes were
made in and around the White e ause,
the tile roofing of thes building con-
Meeting the White House proper ~
the executive offices was replaced by
a concrete roofing as smooth and level
as hardwood floor. The president
soon found that when he: wanted to
take stroll in the open air, where he
could exercise and work out some OF
the problems that confronted him,
and in place free from the public
gaze, the new roof was just the thing
as it was of mple size and was walled
in by coping upon which was shrubs
and plants.
OF late, however, the president has
had title chance to enjoy his roof
garden as it has been turned into q
roller skating rink by his two sons.
Archie and Quentin, who, with their
boy friends, hold high carnival eacn
week day after school is out. Not in
frequently, the president goes up on
the roof to watch the sport and appar-
emily he enjoys it as much as the
youngsters. He is satisfied that the
skating should take place on the roof
instead of on the concrete streets
around the White House, where there
has always been danger of accident
from automobiles end other vehicles.
