wn.hinrton,, Arch,,.c,,,-.

Washington, the capital of the ma
ton, offers to architects unusual op-
portunities for artistic expression. Its
wide streets and stately avenues fur
nish not only long vistas, but dignified
settings; Its ample stretches OF I'M
broken sky, its abundant foliage and
universal parking, lend IL color ana
picturesqueness, and its official func-
ton gives it both individuality and dis
tinction. 1t is q peculiar city, thor
oughly cosmopolitan and yet at the
same time provincial. In spite Of the
fact that 1t is the seat of the federal
government and that its population Is
drawn from every state in the Union,
as well as the world at large, It is in
truth neither more nor less than an
overgrown village veneered In places
with urban sophistry. IL Is essentially
southern and yet thoroughly nonparti-
san, neither conservative nor progress
i've. For these reasons IL Affords, ar
chitecturaily, uncommonly wide lsti-
tude and suffers proportionately from
multiplicity OF styles. Its public
buildings are for the most part classic
In type, but its private residences and
business structures conform neither to
rule nor tradition. When n federal
legislator wishes to inaugurate In his
own state some radical measures he
habitually tries 1t first upon the I'M
offending District OF Columbia. - Ar

SNAILS AS FOOD.
EAey Are About 100 Per Cent Mere
Nutritious Than Oysters.

s&ey Are About 100 Per Cent Mere
Nutritious Than Oysters.
A dish or snails is hardly ever seen
In Great Britain, although in Spain and
In France this mollusk is a fairly COM
mon article of food among the poor,
while it is held in great esteem 10y the
gourmet when II is stewed and gar
nished with herbs and condiments, says
the London Lancet. The suggestion
that the snail should form a cheap ar
ticle OF food in England has been re-
vived, and there is nothing to be said
against the proposal from a dietetic
point of view, for, properly cooked. the
snail is both nutritious and tasty.
If, however, the suggestion were seri-
ously acted upon, we fear that the sup
ply in England would prove to be short
OF the demand. But doubtless the snail
could be cultivated as is the oyster
when it was found that it had gained
a considerable patronage. The snail
has indeed been called 1.-THE poor mans
oyster" though we do not remember to
have seen it eaten raw. We know,
however, that It makes an excellent
fish sauce and may be used for the
same purpose as oyster sauce. Posi-.
bly, also n few snails in a steak and
kidney pudding would increase the tas-
tiness of this popular food.
Care must be exercised in the choice
or the snail for food purposes, as 1t Is
well known that snails feed en- poison
Gus plants, and II is the custom in
France to allow few days TO elapse
after they have been taken from their
feeding ground in order that any poi
sonous matters may be eliminated.
Most of the snails in France used for
edible purposes are collected from the
vineyards OF Burgundy. Champagne
and Lorraine, which. we may be sure,
afford perfectly clean feeding ground
for the snail, considering the care which
is taken 70 protect the vines from dis
ease
According to analysis, very nearly 80
per cent OF the solid matter of the snail
Is proteid matter available directly for
repairing the tissues of the body. Be
sides this, there are about per cent
of fat and per cent OF mineral mat
ter. including phosphates. Compared
with the oyster, this would show that
the snail contains about 100 per cent
more nutritious substances. The sug-
gestion. therefore. that the snail should
be used for food is not merely senti-
mental.

When Hill Got Mad.

Ordinarily one of the quietest men IN

duly provoked, temper that would
blast all in his way. st. Paul still tells
with glee the story OF an occasion
when. maddened by the persistent bad
service OF the Bell Telephone company
there, he tore its instrument from the
wall, threw it out into the back yard
and kicked 1t to pieces. On another oc-
casion when, according to his notion,
things were going all wrong In the
Great Northern Offices, he made
tourney of Improvement" that is still
remembered with shudder. He went
from department to department. kick

from the heads OF bureaus to Office

that stood In front of it on the other

tiers, and the desk when he got through
with 1t was a wreck.-Paul Latzke in

RaiIroad. aud wooden Legs,

Several railroads i'll this country
make their own wooden legs" said a
surgeon.
His auditor shuddered.
Rather CHASTITY, that"
"Ghastly in way" the surgeon al
mitted, but sensible too. The rail.
roads are by far the largest consumers
OF wooden legs. Why, then, shouldn't
they have their own wooden leg fac.
toriesT" q
There's something I'm what you
say"
"Of course there Is" declared the
surgeon. '.Our American railroads kill,
on the average, 5000 people a year and
injure 10000. With the killed we've
nothing to do, but the injured, at 40.
600 per annum, run up TO the enormous
total of 100000 In FIVE years or 400, coo
In ten years. Why buy wooden legs
for all that army? Why not manu-
facture them direct and thus save the
profit OF the middlemen?
'The Standard Oil company, our
greatest consumer of barrels, has its
own barrel works. With the same
wisdom some of our railroads, in order
to curtail expenses, have their own
wooden leg mills."-Cincinnati En-
