 Washington. March 4.-Washington was swept by a blizzard early today and although President-elect William Howard Taft insisted up to almost the last moment that his inauguration should be held in front of the Cap itol building as planned the commit tee on arrangements finally decided that the ceremonies should be held in the Senate chamber.
 MT. Taft said he did not mind the snow and the wind in the least, but Senator Knox, in charge of the pro- gram, declared it would be unwise to subject the aged chief justice and the older members of the Senate to the adverse weather conditions.
 President Roosevelt and MT. Taft were escorted to the Capitol prompt ly at the hour set this morning. their progress through the bllnding snow being met with cheers from thin fringe of hardy spectators who bray ed the elements and stood ankle deep in snow and slush along the distances of Pennsylvania avenue.
 The presidential party entered the Capitol building at II o'clock and were escorted to the Presidents room in the Senate wing, Up to the time of leaving the White House MT. Taft had his heart set upon taking the oath in front of the multitude gathered on the Capitol plaza. After reaching the Senate. however. the counsels of the older members of the Senate pre- vailed and 1t was decided that the ceremonies for the first time in a score or more of years should be held in doors.
 Snow Plays Havoc.
 A wet. clinging snow. driven before a stinging Northwest wind. fell throughout the night and wrought havoc with telephone and telegraph wires, completely cutting of the capital city from communication with the remainder of the country for many hours. Snow and slush filled the streets to the depth of a foot or more in places The wind threshed many of the city's prettiest decorations to threads.
 The immense reviewing stands along the line of march were made we'll nigh uninhabitable by the swirling snow. Street car and railroad trafnc were impeded to the extent of seriously de- laying the arrival of thousands who had planned to attend the inaugural ceremonies

Why Big Trees Are Big.

The magnificent forests of Douglas
fir in Washington-it is called Wash
ington fir there and Oregon fir Tits
commercial name in Oregon-do not
have an equal anywhere else in the
world. This is not surprising if we
take into account the rainfall, which
in the Puget Sound country is about
fifty-three inches, while upin the high
er Cascades near Seattle it is 100
inches and even reaches $50 inches.
Under such climatic conditions the
seeds of trees germinate readily and
all trees continue to make vigorous
growth. These great forests, says
Horticulture, are due to the climatic
conditions of the region.
On the east slope of the Cascades
the rainfall is much less, and here the
bull pine is found, interspersed with
beautiful white pines which some.
times reaches height of 200 feet and
a diameter of 6 feet, although there
are many trees over 100 feet high and
3 or a feet in diameter. The tree re.
sembles our Eastern white pine, but
is more slender and with slender
spreading or somewhat dropping
branches.

| chanced the other day in dusty
corner of a forgotten cupboard upon
a volume bound in hard and lepulsive
green cloth with the title, The Young
Lady's Friend; Manual of Practi-
cal Advice and Instruction to Young
Females on Their Entering Upon the
Duties of Life after Quitting School" "
The date was 1845 and the author
"a Lady" | read most of the
volume, but l was not SO much
amused as | had anticipated. There
was a certain fragrance about the
book; it was very prim certainly,
but now and then it was the primness
of an old-fashioned herb garden.
The exercises recommended for
young ladies from Is to IS" were
astonishingly mild, and these could
only be indulged in with propriety
if arrangements were made for the
purpose. You might play bowls
with small and light balls to
suit their little hands"), battledore,
the grace" "(whatever game that was)
and, of all queer things, quoits.
You might walk, too, if you
walked with an obiect-to study
botany or mineralogy. One wonders
what this amiable instructress would
have thought of our hockey and GYM
nasium girls. On the matter of in
door exercise | chanced upon this
singular sentence.
Making bed is such very good
exercise of the whole body that it is
often prescribed by physicians to
young ladies in high life who are
suffering from want of sufficient
bodily exertion, and many titled
body has been condemned to share
the labors of the housemaid in order
to bring back the color to her faded
cheek and improve the play of her
lungs" Is the bedmaking cure
still recommended? By the way,
even the titled ladies" who brood
persistently over every page OF this
book had to know how to apply
leeches in that age of blood letting,
and if they didn't like them they were
eqhorted to remember that although
their Office is an unpleasant one to
our imagination it is their proper
calling" Here indeed is the profess
sional leech!'
The table manners consist mainly
in not refusing dishes, whether you
like them or not. Before dinner in
the drawing room, which you must
enter with erect carriage and firm
step," "a child, a picture, an ami
NAL, worked ottoman, a bunch
of flowers, may furnish topics for
conversation. Have we got beyond
that yet? If you are asked to drink
wine do not refuse because that is a
rebuff, but accept the challenge gra-
ciously: choose one of the wines
ramed to you, and your glass being
something less than half filed, look
full at the gentleman you are to
drink with, then drop your eyes as
you bow your head to him and
lift the glass to your lips, whether you
drink a drop or not. If challenged
a second time, accept and have drop
added to your glass and bow as be-

When Girls Wore Calico.

(by daCLle w nlCney.)
There was time. betwixt the days
Of linsey wOOlsey, straight and prim,
And these when mode, with deSp0t ways,
Leads woman captive at its whim,
Yet not hundred years ago,
When girls wore simple calico.
Within the barn, by lantern light,
Through many reel. with flying feet,
The boys and maidens danced at night
To fiddled measures, shrilly sweet;
Aud merry revels were they, though
The girls were gowned in calico.
Across the flooring rough and gray
The gold of scattered chaR was spread,
And long festoons of clover hay
That struggled from the loft O'erhead,
Swung scented fringes to and fro
Ger pretty girls in calico.
They used to go a. Mayfng then,
The blossoms of the spring to seek
In sunny glade and sheltered glen,
Unweighed by fashions latest freak;
And Robin fell in love. know,
With Phyllis in her calico.
A tuck, frill. a bias fold,
A hat curved over gipsy-wise.
And beads of coral and of gold,
And rosy cheeks and merry eyes,
Made lassies in that long ago
Look charming in their calico.
The modern knight who loves maid
OF gracious air and gentle grace,
And finds her Oftentimes arrayed
In shining silk and priceless lace,
Would love her just as well, know.
In pink and lilac calico.

Urges Precautions Against Rabies

Melbourne, Fla, June 2, 1909.
To Editor of TEE FLORIDA STAR.
Rabies in dogs, the same disease as
hydrophobia in human beings, has
beenprevalent inlthe northern part of
Brevard county for several months.
Recently case of rabies has been
discovered at Valkaria. Probably
the whole county is infected with this
horrible disease.
The epidemic can be stopped in a
few months if all the dogs in the
county are muzzled so that they can
not bite. The disease is transmitted
only by the infected animals saliva.
All worthless dogs and all dogs act
ing suspiciously should be killed.
The life of one child is worth more
than all the dogs in Brevard county.
You, who own dogs, may have mem
bers Of your own families die this
summer from hydrophobia unless
you take extra precautions in the
matter.
Let everyone think of this as per-
sonal matter. Your own dog may be
infected now. Your own child may
be bitten today or tomorrow by a
rabid animal. L. A. PEEK,

School Bill Killed

Declaring the measure to be I'M
constitutional in his opinion, Gov. Gil
christ returned to the senate Tuesday
with his veto, the Leggett bill appro-
priating $166, 1880 for the public
schools of the state.
The bill was for the purpose of re-
lieving counties which paid out large
amounts upon their schools in 1908
with the expectation of receiving
state aid through 80 per cent attend
ance averages under the 1907 appro-
priations.
The supreme court knocked that
bill out and left most of the counties
with a shortage in Indebtedness.
The present bill was prepared after
weeks of investigation, and was be-
lieved to have worked around the OBJ
jections raised by the court. The
governor, however, cites portions
which he holds to be unconstitutional.

The Committee on Passes Report

The house committee, which has
been investigating the alleged use of
railroad passes, made their official
report Monday morning.
The report was to the effect that
since so many officials whose names
were given in the original report of
the committee as using passes have
disclaimed having done so, and others
had claimed to have used them as a
legitimate exchange for service, the
committee did not feel that they
could afford to mention any names.
Therefore the report, without any
names mentioned, or explanations of
officers, was spread upon the journal.
No names have ever gone on the jour
nal in connection with alleged use of
passes.

/Woodmen's Picni.at Indianola

The picnic given by the Woodmen
of the World at IndianOla Sunday
was a very pleasant affair and
brought together in one of the pref
test parks on the river people from
all sections from TitusVille to Mel
bourne. A bOuntiful spread was
made on tables and an elegant repast
served, to which all did full justice.
School Superintendent j. r. Walk
er, of the Ttusville WOOdmen, made
a short address, and the music for
the occasion was nicely rendered by
the Melbourne band.
The good people of Indianola left
nothing undOne to make the brief
stay of their friends most enjoyable.
Five launches brought the Titus
vile contingent down, and most of
those from Melbourne and Eau Gal
lie and vicinity came up on Capt.
Casper's new boat, the Indian river.
A heavy rain storm from the south
shortly after dinner caused the picnic
to break up earlier than intended.

TitusviIIe Won Baseball Game

The Cocoa baseball team played the
Titusvilles yesterday afternoon at this
place with a score sheet that showed Is
to 2 in favor of Titusville.
There was wild playing on both sides
in the early part of the game, due in all
probability to the wet ball, as there was
quite shower just few minutes be-
fore the game started.
This was the first game the locals
have played this summer and, consider
ing that they had not practiced, did re-
markably well.
Jesse Tucker and Carl Battle did eff
fective battery work for the Titusvilles

siast of the game, umpired most impair
