LINGUISTIC Amhassadors,

The French press is eulogizing Am
bassador Joaquin Nabuco, the dis
tinguished representative of Brazil in
Washington, for the wonderful knowl-
edge of French he has displayed in
his recent book, 'Pensees Detaches ct
Souvenirs" Fugitive Thoughts and
Memories). Mr.. Nabuco's native Ian
guage, of course, is Portuguese, but he
writes and speaks French perfectly,
has an excellent knowledge of Eng
lish, and is conversant with other
tongues. Most of the ambassadors to
the United States are linguists. Speck
Won Sternburg, the German ambassa-
dor, knows Chinese. The Japanese am.
bassador married a German woman
and her tongue is the language Of the
household The French ambassador
speaks English without an accent, All
of the diplomats use French in their
conversation with each other. Until
the present time the American gov.
eminent was satisfied If its represent
atives spoke correct English. Now,
however, by direction Of the president,
candidate for a diplomatic or con-
sular Office must speak and write q
foreign language.

RusE sToppED RUN ON BANK.
Iron Washers on This Occasion Were
as Good as Gold.

During the financial crisis in New
York, Washington was filed with tales
of how runs had been stopped on
banks. Perhaps one of the best was
told by man who is better than q
Missouri congressman In the old
days" he said, there was a banker
in Kansas City, one j. S. Chick. His
bosom friend was Wyandotte In.
dian, named Hiram Northrup, who was
also banker at Wyandotte, about
three miles from Kansas City. A run
started on the Chick institution. II
looked like it would have to close its
doors. Northrup went to the Missouri
Pacific shops and gathered all the old
iron washers he could find. These
were conveyed to his bank. There he
dumped them into sacks marked as
holding gold amounting to $4,000
each. The next day the sacks were
taken out of the bank and conveyed
to wagons. Surrounded by strong
guard of eight men, armed with re-
volvers and rifles, the wagons moved
slowly toward Kansas City. They
halted in front of Chicks bank. The
heavy sacks were conveyed inside the
bank. Hundreds of people witnessed
the operation. Many of them were de.
positors. One of them said to his
friends, unconsciously repeating the
Frenchman in Mark Twain's Rough.
ing It. Well, now that they've got
the money, don't want it. The effect
of this deposit was electric. The run
stopped at once and the bank was
saved. A few days later the sacks
were returned to the Wyandotte bank,
to the great pride and satisfaction Of
the people of the locality which 1t
served"

played is bogus, the original having
been taken away and destroyed by the
Portuguese, although the temple at

"Of course this is the real tooth, else
why would millions of people worship
it?" This reasoning satisfied him, as
it did the other devout worshippers

a large and beautiful specimen of the

front of the building is a sacred bo

site, in the eyes of the Buddhists. The
original location of the association

Nothing happens without a cause.
Some cellars are too damp, while
others are too dry. In either case the
house itself is affected more or less
according to the extent of the trouble
and the amount and quality of ventila-
ton.
It pays to put a little extra work on
the cellar. You have to pay extra to
have the wall pointed up on the in
side, but it pays not only to have the
mortar smoothed off between the
stone. but to have it spread over to
the thickness of a plaster coat so the
wall may be finished smooth. Then
it can be brushed with soft broom
at any time and the dust removed.
Ventilation usually can be controlled
by having opposite windows. All Gel
lar windows should be hung at the top
with good solid hinges, and each sash
should have a hook to hold it open
or part way open. II you depend on
getting a stick to prop it open with,

the time and tho cellar is not yenti-
lated. Physicians about the country
are having good deal to say about

This is an eight-room house, mostly
downstairs, as the front part only is
full two stories, and the back portion,
the dining room and kitchen part of
the house, is one story high; a style
of house very much used in some
parts of the country. Where there is
no village water supply the place over
the kitchen is often used for a tank
to supply water to the kitchen and to
the bathroom.
One feature especially to be recon-
mended is the cellar. There is great
deal of satisfaction in having a good
cellar, a fact that is not appreciated
by house owners as much as it should
be. This statement is easily verified
by visit to the average house cellar.
We all have had experience in going
into dark, dingy places that smell of
decaying vegetables, and you were
afraid to step an inch to one side for
fear of getting into a water hole or
something worse. Wonderful mig
lures some of these old cellars con-
tain, and still the occupants of the
house wonder why they have so much
fever and other troubles; but mod
ern cellar built like this one seldom
gets in such condition, because it is
built right in the first place. The
wall extends up above grade far
enough for good sized windows that
will admit plenty of light and air, and
there is head room enough to go in
and out again and to work around as
you want to, sweeping and cleaning.
Twenty-eight by forty-seven feet is
the size of the house on the ground,
and this gives cellar room enough to
hold a supply of fruit and vegetables
sufficient to last all winter. The cellar

He Cleaned the Oysters.

Three well known young men from
Washington went out on hunting trim
recently, and, as they intended to
make day of it, a quart of nice.
large oysters was taken along for the
monday meal. When noon came the
party made their way to camp with no
game, and the one that had been
elected cook set about preparing the
oysters for frying.
lie had just started to roll them in
the cracker crumbs when one of the
others butted in with the question:
well, aren't you going to clean
those oysters? Or do you expect us to
eat them without being cleaned?"
His companion Immediately got wise
and backed up the first speaker, de-
claring that no oyster would pass his
lips without first being cleaned. The
cook looked up with mild surprise,
and declared that he had never heard
of oysters being cleaned, but If it was
customary he was willing to do SO.
And he carefully cleaned the oysters.

RoUsED WRATH OF SAILOR.
Admiral RoWles Wrote Warm Letter
to Famous "Bob" Evans.

Perhaps it is just as well that Rear
Admiral Bowles is out of the service,
says a writer in the Chicago Evening
Post. This remark is not intended to
reflect upon the seamanship or the
character of the former officer of the
navy for he is rare old salt and a
fine fighter, but the fact that he is in
civil life just now is conducive to
peace. Admiral Bowles resigned some
time ago and is now the chief official
Of the Fore River Shipbuilding COM
pany, which is engaged in the con-
struction of half a dozen vessels for
the government
While work at Fore River is at its
height the trained mechanics have
been leaving the place to take employ
ment at the government yard at Mare
Island, where it is expected there
soon will be an immense amount of
work with exceedingly good pay
Admiral Bowles, for some reason or
other, thought that Admiral Bob"
Evans was at the work of enticing
his men away from Fore River, and
so he wrote letter to Fighting Bob"
that was so warm that a drop of sea
water that fell on it sizzled.
Admiral Evans read the letter and
there were some warm words uttered
in loud soliloquy." Then Admiral Bob
cooled off suddenly and laughed
