WASHINGTON NOW GREAT CITY.
Continued Progress and Increased
Prosperity Assured to Capital.

A police count of the inhabitants Of
Washington shows total of 39,403.
The gain in the last year is given as
S,812. OF the whole population 241,-
920 are whites and 97,483 are colored.
There is no other city outside of AZ
rfca with SO many people Of negro
blood.
These figures show that the capital
Of the United States is getting to be
big city, judged by any standard. It
takes rank now with historic places
like Alexandria, Frankfort-on-Main
Turin, Stockholm, Mexico, Edinburg,
Lisbon and many more. Washington
has more residents to-day than Gin
cinnati, Pittsburg, New Orleans, De-
troit or Milwaukee could show in 1900
OF course all of these American cities
have gained fast in the last eight
years, and probably all Of them are
still ahead Of Washington. It is not
certain about New Orleans, howey@sr.
Many American cities will grow fast
er than Washington, and many will al
ways be much bigger and more impor-
tant, industrially and commercially.
But the national capital is as sure as
| any Of continued progress and increas-
| ing prosperity. PaEics and periods
of business depression touch the seat
Of government as lightly as any other
center of population in the country.
The nations work goes on unchecked.
The treasury Is a sure source Of wages
and salaries. More and more, Wash
| ington is destined to be a home of re-
tired wealth and settled incomes. 1t
is rich city now, and it will be much
richer before many years come and go.
The capital is already one Of the
most beautiful and attractive cities
in the world. 1t is certain to be still
more interesting, still more note,
worthy in architecture and public
monuments, parks and pleasure
grounds. 1t is city of great promise
Its future is as well settled in esthetic
charm as it is in material prosperity
More and more, Washington is living
up to its name and proving worthy OF
its position as the seat of government
off the richest of all nations, the cap

TORTURED SIX MONTHS
BY Terrible itching Eczema-Baby's
Suffering Was Terrible - Soon
Entirely Cured by cutlcura.

Eczema appeared on my sons face.
We went to a doctor who treated him
for three months. Then he was so bad
that his face and head were nothing
but one sore and his ears looked as if
they were going to fall of, SO we tried
another doctor for four months, the
baby never getting any better. His
hand and legs had big sores on them
and the poor little fellow Suffered so
terribly that he could not sleep. After
he had suffered six months we tried
a set of the Cuticura Remedies and
the first treatment let him sleep and
rest we'll; in one week the sores were
gone and in two months he had clear
face. Now he is two years and has
never had eczema again. Mrs. Louis

.curloua Indian Custom.

The following curious custom is re-
corded by ]. Owen Dorsey in his
monograph on the sociology of the
Omaha Indians:
In the spring when the grass comes
up there is a council or tribal assem-
bly, held to which feast is given by
the head of the Hanga geno. After
they decide that planting time has
come and at command of the Hanga
man a crier is sent through the vii
lagos. He wears robe with hair out
side and cries as he goes. They do,
indeed, say that you will dig the
ground! Hallo!' He carries sacred
corn, which has been shelled and to
each household he gives two or three
grains, which are mixed with the seed
corn of the household"
After this it is lawful for the peo-
pie to dig up the soil and plant their

knock at the door, After reading q
note which had been handed in, the
principal announced that one of the
teachers would be unable to be at
