Set Aside for the President.

The presidential apartments in the
new Washington station occupy the
eastern end of this marble master
piece, extending the full width Of the
building At the southeast corner
of the building is the main entrance
to the suite-an arched carriage por-
tai of simple but imposing architec-
ture. The character of the institution
is indicated only by sculpture over the
doorway representing the seal of the
United States, surrounded by flags.
If preferred entrance or egress may
be had on the east front where several
doors open from the apartments to a
corridor or portico spacious enough
to permit half a dozen carriages to be
drawn up before it.
The main entrance opens upon
vestibule, and this communicates with
the main reception room, from which
latter also open most of the doors on
the east front. This reception room
is an impressive, high-ceilinged apart
ment, almost as large as the historic
east room at the White House, and
very suggestive of that salon in its
general dimensions. There is mosaic
floor and the fresco ornamentation
and other decorations, which are very
elaborate. present blue and gold as
the matchmaking tintS.

BOY KEPT SCRATCHING.
Eczema Lasted 7 Years-Face Was All
Raw-Skin Specialists Failed, But
Cuticura Effected Cure.

when my little boy was six weeks
old an eruption broke out on his face.
I took him to a doctor, but his face
kept on getting worse until it got so
bad that no one could look at him.
His whole face was one crust and
must have. been very painful. He
scratched day and night until his face
was raw. Then took him to all the
best specialists in skin diseases but
they could not do much for him. The
eczema got on his arms and legs and
we could not get a nights sleep in
months. got set of Cuticura Rene
dies and he felt relieved the first time
l used them. I gave the Cuticura
Remedies a good trial and gradually
the eczema healed all up. He is now
seven years old and I think the trou-

A Llnnuist.

The charm of Mrs. Ruth McEnery
Etuart's negro dialect stories was
greatly enhanced when she read them
herself, as she used frequently to do
hi the early days of her fame, for
charity and church entertainments.
Her imitation Of the negro dialect was
excellent, and her small son, who was
very fond Of her accomplishment in
this line, frequently boasted of 1t
among the other children. Once, when
some Of his schoolmates were vaunt'

ReueridnA Was Easy.

Senator Beveridge is telling the fol
lowing story against himself. He was
in a train bound for Cologne when ne
made the acquaintance of stranger
who proved to be delightful compan,
ion.
This stranger pitied the American
for living in a country where really
good Rhine wine was unobtainable and
insisted on their drinking bottle OF
Rudesheimer together.
When they reached Cologne accord
ingly, they dined together and finished
a bottle that deserved all the strang
er's praise.
Next morning the senator was sur,
prised to find $40 charged on his bill
for the wine He explained that the
stranger had been his host.
The waiter informed him that the
stranger had particularly warned the
bookkeeper to charge the bill against
his celebrated American friend, as 9th,
erwise the latter would be extremely
angry. Meanwhile the stranger de-
parted by an early train.

Mixed Crowd DweIIs In Apartment
Houses of Washington.

There is not big apartment house
in the city of Washington that could
not be appropriately named THE Cos

full of meaning such as few names
have in this era of haphazard nomen-
clature.

Paris or the erstwhile Midway Plais.
ance, but of its kind it is SO well
developed and prevalent that few peo-
pie remark it. In any other town the
fact that ones neXt-door neighbor on
the right may be a Georgian and his
next-door neighbor on the left may
be a Californian would be accounted
not extraordinary, but certainly not
commonplace. Here such an arrange
ment of neighbors is more apt to be
the rule than the exception, and no
attention is paid to it. Therein the
cosmopolitanism found here, and H.
Illustrated no more strikingly than in
an apartment house, is of genuine
brand, for true cosmopolitanism is
that which is not protuberant. Even
in small country village a stranger
may appear from the most remote cor
| ner OF the earth, but the whole town
turns out to see him. Here such a
stranger would attract little more than
a passing glance. The true cosmop
olite is at home no matter how fa1
away he is from home, and Washing
| ton apartment houses are filed with
| just that sort of cosmopolites. There
are, it is true, some people in Wash
| ington apartment houses and some
| people in Washington (119,895 by the
| census of 1900 who were born there

Nuts.

One very great advantage which
nuts possess over most foods Is their
absolute freedom from adulteration.
When you buy nuts, you always know
what you are getting. OF course,
those bought in the shell are also alb

source they come from! How delight
full to picture the trees upon which
they grow, on the outermost branches

A crimson petal floats across the night
Yet ever onward tossed to glorious light,
Come thou whose lips shall kiss and

Dear one, divinely guarded and at peace.
And wilt thou bring this dawn upon the

Among the representatives of for
elgn powers in Washington nine rank
as ambassadors, the last country to
elevate her envoy to this distinction
having been Japan, after her war with
Russia. The dean of the diplomatic
corps must be an ambassador and he
enjoys this distinction because of the
priority in the date of his appointment
over that Of other ambassadors to this
country. The present dean of the dip
lomatic corps is the Italian ambassa-
dor, Baron Mayor des Planches, now
entering upon his eighth year in
Washington. Baron HengelmulIer Won
Hengervar ambassador from Austria
Hungary, is the oldest diplomat in
point of service, but was only raised
to the rank of ambassador in 1902. Mr..
Brun, minister from Denmark, has
been in America since 1885,
The distinction in diplomacy be-
tween an ambassador and minister
is best conveyed in the statement that
minister represents his government,
while an ambassador represents ''the
person Of his sovereign" In America
the minister deals with the secretary
of state and the state department
while the ambassador takes his ques,

entree at all times to his presence.

are living in mental terror and physi-

with all the various smelly compounds
that mosquitoes are supposed not to
enjoy, and every time the buzz of one
of the insects is heard three women
faint and all the men of the premises
swear violently.
The bug man insists there's no dan
