Tins our 10000 trees are attend
ed. labor and materials are bought,
and new trees planted for about

100000 annually on their care alone.
Deduct $4,000 from the Washington
total for materials. labor, and new
trees-which is the superintendent S
estimate-and only $4,000 is left to
safeguard the shade already OBJ
tanned. IN other words, the allow
ance made for the American Capital

Washington is proud of her trees.

them a delight to the eye eight

try, If next years allowance is in

Poultnev-of statement. He devotes
himself mainly 10 sanitary condi-
tions in Colon. and makes them out
bad enough; about as bad as they
really are. probably, but not so pic
turesquely and superlatively bad as
TO maintain the reputation estab-
Hshed by his earlier contributions
to the subject.
Mr. Bigelow charges that Colon is
an overcrowded, insanitary city,
largely because the canal officials
own property there. They don't
want TO allow the population to
spread away from the little, low,
swampy island to which they are
now confined, because if it once got
away rents would come down and
investments would not be so good
and the official grafters would not
prosper so well. If this is true IL
is all wrong; and Mr., BigelOw is SO
moderate and temperate in his
statement of it that there IS tempta-
ton TO believe him. He again at
tacks the water supply and the
sewerage system of the city, and
makes a pretty good case against
both. He finds that there is alto
gether too much politics in the
canal business, to which everybody
agrees; and he indicates without
quite stating the opinion that the
business ought to be done by con-
tract rather than directly by the
Government - another point on
which about everybody is agreed.
On the whole the latest contribu-
ton of Mr.. Bigelow to canal litera-
ture gives most interesting proof of
the wonderful paradox that a real
live globe-trotter can find out lot
more in twenty minutes-Or was 1t
hours ?-than he can in six weeks,
and be far more certain about it.

IRELAND THINKS SHE

DUBLIN. Aug. 1S.-Gold has been dis
covered In Ireland, encouraging the be
lief that the ancient glOTies Of Erin may
be revived When the inhabitants of
England were clothed In skins and
painted with woad the Irish wore golden
ornaments made from metal won from
their own soil
The tradition OF ancient gold mines
has induced q famous Irish novelist,
Seumas AIa0manus. to start prospecting
among the hills and bogs, and, while he
has not had any success. a nugget OF
virgin gold as big as d goose egg has
been found by a Quarryman at BOhO.
The prospect OF a rich vein Of gold
being opened up at Boho has attracted

AFTER THE SINGER IS DEAD.

Bright is the ring of the words
When the right man rings them,
Fair is the fall Of songs
When the singer sings them.
Still they are carolled and said
On wings they are carried
After the singer is dead
And the maker buried.
Low as the singer lies
In the field OF heather,
Songs Of his fashion bring
The swains together,
And when the West is red
With the sunset embers,
The lover fingers and sings.
And the maid remembers.

NURSERY NOTES.

Dwarf furniture is pretty and appro- priate in the nursery. The little ones do not have to sit in chairs with their feet dangling.
 Never lift child by the arms or un- der the arms or you may cause de formity or dislocate the shoulder. The little body should be lifted from about the waist.
 To make baby's hair curl brush 1t up- ward and twist around your fingers While wet after washing. Brushing downward encourages the hair to grow straight and smooth.
 When desirable to see the tongue of a very small child the object may be ac- complished by touching the upper lip with bit of sweet oil, which will cause the child to protrude it's tongue.
 Don't neglect headache in children. A doctor should be consulted without delay if child suffers from freouent headaches. Remember the saying, "An hour lost in treating the illness of child is as bad as a day lost in treating the illness of a man,
