Italian Sinners.

In view of the fact that in their ma
tive country most Italians of the peas
ant class are given to singing ir public
on all and every occasion, it Is curl
Gus that we hear so little of their
vocalizing in public here. This state
of affairs was brought sharply to a
man familiar with Italy as a tourist
when he heard a group of half dozen
young Italian men of the working
class singing some of the lovely pop
ular songs of their native land in an
elevated train in New York On re-
cent Sunday. 1t was delightful music
to hear and entirely different in every
way from the songs and the singing
one so often hears from a group of
native young men. 1t was the first
time this particular New Yorker ever
had heard Italian singing in public
and the charm of the music was great
enough to make him regret that 1t was
not heard more often.

Gifts TO Bridesn7as1s

Az a recent wedding the bride hit
on novel way of presenting the
souvenirs to her bridesmaids, that
added much to the interest of the occa.
sion
After much looking she found In
Russian art store number of fascinat-
ing old silver belt buckles, such as are
worn by the peasants in Russia.
The one drawback was that eight
buckles alike were not to be pur-
chased. But the girl hit on the happy
plan of making the bridesmaids draw
for their own Sits.
Each buckle was done up daintily
in box used for the wedding cake,
with the monogram of the bride and
groom on top. These were put in the
center of wedding bell of white gar.

yer paper, was attached to each pack
age.
The bell was a homemade affair,
made from fine wire, with the flowers
stuck in through the meshes. Each
stem was wrapped in damp sphagnum
moss to keep II fresh.
The boxes were concealed in the top
of the bell above the clapper. A wire
shelf was run across, with an opening
on one side, through which the boxes
We're slipped. The shelf was hidden
by being wound with green's.
Each heart had number on TIE
wrong side, which was repeated on the
box to avoid mistakes.
At the close of the wedding supper
the bride rose and said: II will now
ask my bridesmaids to wish me good
luck by ringing my marriage bell"
Each girl was then directed to take
hold of the first ribbon she could reach
and pull the bell gently seven times.
In order not to bring bell, boxes and
all down on the table the pulling was
very light.
At the close of the ringing, each girl
was told to gently draw her ribbon to-
ward her, one at time. This took the
small boxes from the shelf without
possibility of breakage
The boxes when opened were found
to contain, in addition to an aid
buckle, small card, with the date Of
the wedding, the initials of the bride
and groom and a merry jingle appro-
pirate to the occasion.

Water is the most essential element
OF plant food, and water and air are
two things that every plant requires,
yet there are no set rules that can be
given when these things should be
applied. Generally speaking, however,
plant should only be watered when
It is dry, and should then be watered
sufficiently to wet it thoroughly. Some
lines 1t is necessary to water plants
wo or three times day in sunny
weather, and again, in cloudy weather,
'nce week may he often enough.
Plants should receive good air. 1t is
veil to open window for a few mo-
nents every bright, sunny day, even
n winter. Dust frequently clogs the
pores. For this reason it is best to
sprinkle the foliage plants by taking
them to the kitchen sink or to the
bathtub at least once or twice a week.
If this is not practicable, busting with
duster or washing coriaceous leaves
with a sponge is advisable. Where the
plants can be properly sprayed they
are not likely to be troubled very much
with insects. In case a single plant is
covered with green fly" place a pa
per bag over it, have some friend
who smokes puff the cigar smoke into
the bag,
A few times will remedy the trouble.
Scale insects, If they once get hold,
can only be removed by washing off
with a stiff brush, or, if near a florist,
have him give the hydrocyanic gas
treatment. Pyrethrum or tobacco dust
is also valuable, but is generally too
Objectionable to have in living room.
The best preventive is to always keep
the plants in perfect health and
growing. The pots or window boxes
should be turned frequently so as to
have the plants develop symmetrically.
After all, the secret of the greatest
success with the window garden is the
innate love for flowers By the one who
cares for them, worked out by coming
in daily contact with the plants them
selves and thus learning the individual
needs of each plant.
The environments of no two window
gardens are exactly alike and thus
each one calls for different treatment.
However, if you study plants and full
fill their wants, they will nearly al
ways entirely fulfill your wishes in
cheering and beautifuying your school
room or home.

Gossip of Washington
What Is Going On at the
National Capital.
Federal Sleuths Kept on the Jump

Originally the secret service of the
United States had two functions and
two only. Those were the detection
of counterfeiters and the hunting
down of illicit distillers. A good many
years ago, however, long before Mr..
Roosevelt entered public life, one OF
the presidents detailed secret serv.
ice men to serve at the White House
There was not the slightest authority
in law for such a procedure, but con-
gress had a good deal of considera-
ton for the executive and this vio-
lation of law went on year after year.
Finally congress, seeing that the prac,
tice had become permanent and not
wishing to engage in dispute with
the executive branch, conferred the le-
gal authority necessary to enable
presidents to make such detail
Gradually the presidents enlarged
the practice of detailing secret serv-
ice men and sent them hither and
yonder on all sorts of errands. Then
other administration officers-cabiaet
chiefs and even bureau Eeads-with-
out the remotest authority in law,
called upon the secret service branch
for agents to send out on confiden
tial missions. Chief Wilkie of the
secret service was up a tree, figura
lively speaking. He did not have
men enough to go around. Congress
allowed him a blanket appropriation,
but it was not large enough to hire all
of the detectives demanded.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1908-12-31

THE origin Ut the paragraph in the
last sundry civil bill, restricting
the activities of the secret service,
which provoked the hot denunciatior
of the president, is decidedly interest
ing. While a subcommittee was fra
ming the sundry civil bill it was
brought to the attention of the mem
bers that q secret service man had
been assigned to keep watch over the
conduct of a certain naval officer The
application for the detail was made to
the navy department by the wife of
the officer, who was not entirely salts
fed as to the faithfulness of her
spouse. The, officer was not even on
duty at the time, but was away on
leave of absence
1t occurred to members of the APP
preparations committee that this was
the limit of governmental espionage
and that the time had come to call a
halt President Roosevelt, of course,
had secret service sleuth detailed
for such a purpose and when the sub
committee wrote and inserted a pro-

THE FARM STOCK.

The supply of good horses is not
now equal to the demand.
Breed with some definite end In
view, and never cross after you start
for that end. Use pure breeds.
Fatten the undesirable sheep and
turn them into money. This applies
to other stock also.
It Is best TO have small separate
stalls for each calf. When two or
more are together they often get In
the habit of sucking one anothers
ears and other parts of the body
which is an injurious habit.
There is a strong and growing SEN
timent against stored eggs. Let 1t

fit to be used. When stored eggs go,

UTASHINGTON.--That branch of the
w public service which its detract-
ors called "the government spy sys-
tem," or 1.-THE Black Cabinet" has been
brought into conspicuous prominence
by the tiff between congress and the
president, growing out of the criticism
In the presidents message of the ac-
ton of congress in circumscribing the
activities of the secret service.
The system of government es-
pionage over the private citizen has
grown in an unprecedented manner
under the administration of President
Roosevelt. Whether it conduces to
the general public welfare is a matter
Tor publicists to discuss, but as to the
fact that the secret service has
reached greater extensions than ever
before there can be no doubt.
This extension has been brought
about by the executive branch of the
government, and its justification, in
large degree, is that a law has no
value unless it is enforced, and the
Fonly way to enforce it is to look after
violations.

NI NCLE IKE STEPHENSON. cham
~ pion buttonhole story teller of the
senate, has certainly been treated
shamefully since he came down here
last winter to take Mr.. Spooners place
as one of Wisconsin's legislators. He
has the distinction of being the oldest
man in the senate and at the same
time of being one of the wealthiest,
and he is used to having his own way.
He had no sooner got here last De-
cember than he discovered he had
been assigned a committee room over
In the Maltby building, on p street
northwest. This was too far from base
to suit Uncle Ike, so he made q good
sized kick, and finally got himself as
signed to room on the senate ter
race, away down in the ground.
But great surprise was in store for
Uncle Ike when he returned this De-
cember. He had no room at all. His
Office furniture was all standing out In
the corridor. This was too much. on
he went to see about 1t. What he
found out was that there had to be a
place to put new power plant, and
his room was the only one available.
Where was he to go now? oh, he'd
have to go over in the house office
building until the senate Office build
ing was finished.
So now, Uncle Ike, who has more
money than he knows how to spend
and who could buy himself thousand
committee rooms, is located away over
in the extreme southeastern corner
OF the house Office building--Anacostia
