President Taft is reported as giving
out a statement in which he says that
in his western trip he will take the
people into his confidence regarding the
recent fight in congress. He will ask
the people if the tariff suits them, and,
if it doesn't, the president will tell them
that the remedy for any shortcomings
in the bill will be to elect congressman
pledged to a revision along the lines de-
sired. Without any thought to impugn
the presidents motives, he might be
asked how he conforms his attitude
now to the ala he gave Cannon and Al
drich at the opening of the special ses-
sion Of congress, when the 'insur-
gents" were trying to make arrange
ments SO that real revision Of the tariff
could be carried out.

The British embassy at Washing
ton has enjoyed heretofore an en-
viable prestige among diplomatic
homes, having been for many years
the residence of the dean of the dip
Iomatic corps in the person Of the late
Lord Pauncefote, and the scene OF
the brief but brilliant reign of Sir
Michael and Lady Herbert. Since the
coming Of the Bryces, however, a lit
erary atmosphere pervades the big
English house rather than that of its
former social supremacy. This lat
ter distinction may be said to have
crossed the fashionable avenue to
the fireside Of the Austrians. AL
though such a small area of Mother
Earth divides the two embassies they
are as far apart in point OF person
mel as Vienna and London. No great
er contrast in temperament could be
imagined than that Of Baroness Hen
gelmuller and the wife Of the British
ambassador The former is a woman
OF the world, With a decided social in
stinct strongly developed; the latter.
with little social ambition, is the
typically English wife of man
OF letters.

To know a hawk from hernshaw'
Is a metaphor with a curious history.
It is a comparison drawn from far
conry. "Hernshaw@ is corruption OF
"heronshaw," or young heron, a bird
which was a common prey of the fal-
cons. To know a hawk from a hern.
shaw therefore is to be able to dis
tinguish the falcon from its prey. A
further colloquial corruption crept into
the phrase-"to know a hawk from
a handsaw," form used by Hamlet
in one place. Possibly the distinction
between a hawk and a hernshaw was
found not to be strong enough for the
purposes Of the proyerb.

no dust or dirt and the atmosphere is
smokeless?
Ay, indeed. So far as these things
go, Washington deserves its enviable
reputation. But how about what is
underneath? Il is not enough that =
city shall be clean on the outside. The
trouble is that, where such matters
are concerned, people rarely bother
themselves to look beneath the sur
face. Yet It appears from recent dis
eoveries that very disgusting and even
alarming conditions exist IN the eating
houses. the bakeries, the ice cream
and candy shops. the grocery stores,
and the laundries OF the national cap
ltal.
The truth is, doubtless, that the
same sort OF conditions, equally dread
ful and disgusting, exist in similar
establishments in every city in
the country. Nowhere are such
places properly inspected and IT
naturally follows that in many in
stances they are unclean. Washing
ton is first to take the matter up, and
Is pushing the crusade against mis-
chiefs of the kind with an enthusiasm
that cannot fail to produce results
results so obviously beneficial that in
all likelihood they will inspire the au-
th3rities of other municipalities to un.
dertake similar measures of reform.
The crusade, which has been going
on for only a few weeks. has already
brought to light a good many facts
of which it would never occur to mcst
people even to dream. One of these
facts is that the average restaurant
of good class, while clean and in
viting outwardly and from the view
point of the customer is on the inside.
especially in respect to its culinary
plant, outrageously filthy and unsani-
tary.
Take for example one eating-house
on Ninth street, in Washington. It
bears an excellent reputation, and is
frequented by many of the best peo-
pie in the city One of its attractions
Is its obvious cleanliness. But, as dis
covered by the health authorities,
when they examined the place, this
cleanliness is all on the outside. They
found two kitchens in the rear, both of
which were IN a condition for which
filthy would be a mildly descriptive
term.
Apparently the cooking utensils
were never cleaned at all-not from
one years end to the other Occasion
ally they were scraped when the accu-
mutation of grease and other dirt on
them was so great as to interfere with
their usefulness. Pans employed for
frying chickens-the fried chicken is
4 favorite dish in Washington-were
half an inch thick with ancient lard
and other extraneous substances.
In each OF these two delightful
Kitchens, the floors and walls of which
were covered with greasy dirt, was a
closet of the most primitive pattern!
Seems horrible, does it not? But ex-
ceptional? BY no means. On the con-
trary, Judging from the Investigations
of the health office, such closets, sim
ilarly situated, are to be found quite
commonly in the kitchens Of restau-
rants.--New York American.

The codIIna Moth.

About one-fifth of the first laying Of
eggs by the codling moth is on the
fruit, the rest being ON the leaves and
branches. The young larvae that
matches from the egg is able to feed
on the foliage to some extent and may
come to maturity without entering the
fruit, although II rarely does so. About
so per cent of the first brood finds its
way into the apples at the calyx, while
the rest eat in at other points, prin
cipally at the stem. Only about 2S
per cent. Of the second brood enters
at the calyx, the others eating in
where the apples touch each other or
a leaf at the stem end. The average
life of the adult insect or moth is
about four days.
