state department in exact facsimile
of an American consulate. Instead
of loafng for thirty days before
speeding abroad, the new appointees
are compelled to report every day at
this headquarters and spend a GER
tain number of hours in the transac-
ton of business. This business in
cludes practically everything that is
likely to arise in the course of the
consul's term abroad.
Here is where John Hall Osborne
shines. He takes the newcomers,
drills them in the fundamentals of
the diplomatic game, shows them the
proper methods for the advancement
of American commerce and gener-
ally puts them through course of
sprouts" in preparation for their du-
ties. Mr.. Osborne is an old and ex-
perienced hand at the game of di-
plomacy, and his method of trans
forming academic young men into
seasoned diplomats in the course al
most of a single week has won the
admiration of the administration.
So successful has he been, that the
government has permitted Mr.. Os-
borne to broaden his field of useful
ness. With the opening of the years
work in the College of the Political
Sciences of the George Washington
university next week, Mr.. Osborne
will be found teaching the young as
pirants for diplomatic honors the
right way of representing Uncle Sam
abroad. Secretary Root is firm adj
mirer and supporter of the local un-
iversity, and permission was given
Mr.. Osborne to join the faculty of the
institution largely because two of the
thirteen young men who passed the
examinations last month for admis-
sion to the service were graduates of
the school. That the examinations
were difficult is proved by the fact
that fifty-eight endeayored to meet
the requirements.
The value of this method of in
structing the candidates before the
actual examination test is obvious.
he men come to the trial provided
with just exactly the knowledge they
will require, and in this way there
is no waste of mental or technical
energy. There is a decided advan-
tage, also, in educating candidates
in the national capital, where they
have the benefit of all the knowledge
contained in the government arch
ives and the advice of government
experts. 49,.
The consular service is probably
the most important problem the state
department has to face at the pres
ent time. !

At His Word.

Many postofice names are queer
enough to make one desire. an explana-
ton Of them. Sometimes the explana-
ton is queerer than the name itself. A
minister in Cass county wrote to
Washington in behalf Of the residents
OF growing hamlet asking that a
postofHce be added to its institutions.
The request was fayorably received,
and he was asked to. suggest name
that would be acceptable TO his neigh
bors. He replied that they were not
hard to please SO long as the name was
peculiar. The postofice department

The Reason Was Plain.

81 : There was a woman, Z said a law
yer, whose husband was killed In a
railroad accident. The railroad, to
avoid suit, gave her So, 600 damages.
The sum satisfied the woman, but d
month or two afterward, taking up a
newspaper, she read about a man who
had lost his leg in the same accident
and, behold, this man was given by
the company damages to the amount Of
$500. 1t made the woman mad. She
fastened at once to the Office of the
railways claim adjuster. She said
bitterly: a. 81 III. III \ 81 q { s4 GIN
".How3 is this? Here you give a
man $500 for tho loss Of his leg,
while you only gave me 5000 for the
loss of my husband 81
1.-THE claim adjuster smiled amiably
and said in a soothing voice.: S..>s
MADAM, the reason is quite plain.
The $500 won't provide the poor
man with a new leg, whereas with
your $4,000 you can easily get a new
husband and perhaps better one "---

her arms in the sleeves and through
the armholes OF her garments and had

Weather Nanes.

The best weather vanes are made
with the greatest nicely and precision,
SO that they balance perfectly and
turn with the least possible, wear. The
vane is, of course, longer on one side
Of the socket than on the other, or it
would not turn with the wind, but its
weight is the same on both sides. If
it is narrow vane, for instance, the
weight of the solid head is easily made
equal toNthat Of the longer, projecting,
but thinner feather end, and all vanes,
whatever they may be, are balanced
as to weight and so adjusted that they
turn easily and with the least possible
friction. gy . .sE

II am in the employ, as cashier,
of one of the firts-class down town
restaurants and want to say that
am forced to blush for my sex to
see the quantity OF liquor, consum-
ed by women, and, as you say, not
only beer but much stronger and
more intoxicating drinks, many of
which have passed the demi-tasse
stage.
II feel justified in saying that the
drink habit among women is. respon-
sible for more divorces than any
other cause. Many women who dine
and drink with other men while
their husbands are at business or
out of the city your congregation,
perhaps would say are not our best
women, but I could whisper to you
names that are recognized by soci-
ETY. as our best who do follow this
pernicious habit with the fatal mis-
conception Of having good time.
'The women who drink in public
are responsible not only for the de-
graduation of their own characters,
but the downfall of young and limo
cent girls. l overheard the follow
ing conversation in the ladies' tot
let room the other day, between two
bright, pretty girls. The older ad-
dressed the other: Why, Ella, you
appeared like a farmer drinking lem

RELIGIOUS NOTES.

As a result Of the revival at Eldorado,
Kan, one-seventh of the population of the
town has been enrolled as members OF the
Christian church, where the meetings were
held.
ono of the most conspicuous characters
among the negro churchmen of the United
States is Henry Mcneil Turner, bishop of
the African Methodist Episcopal church.
The bishop claims direct descent from an
African king.
Prelates are what insurance men call
good risks" no matter what the form OF
their faith Still active are the Methodist
Bishop Bowman at 30, the Episcopal Bishop
Huntington at 49, the Catholic Archbishop
Williams at So, the Catholic Bishop Me-
Quad at 81 and the Methodist Bishop An
drews at 50.
A Methodist authority has Just estimated
the total number of adherents and MEM
bers OF the churches of Methodism through
out the world at 3,63S 25S, the total being
based upon the following figures quoted
for all Methodist churches OF the world:
church members, S,27S, 043 Sunday school Of
icers and teachers, d7723; pupils, 100000
