Seeking Aid of Local Bodies.

AS the school children of the District
have already been interested in the
project, Mrs. Dimock proposes next to
attempt to get the active cooperation of
the Washington Board of Trade and
Chamber of Commerce. and of the
numerous patriotic, scientific and other
national organizations which have head
quarters in Washington. She will point
out to these various organizations the
great advantage it would be to Wash
ington, from a business as we'll as from
memorial building erected at the
tenance fund. which would permit the
free use of the building. 1t will attract,
it is said many thousands of delegates
Iieved that as many as two or three con-
ventions will be held in the building some
days at the same time.
Apart from the patriotic side of the
question:. said Mrs. Dimock, "Vashing-
ton is the city that will derive the most
direct benefit from the memorial building.
1T will mean a great deal to the business
people of the city, to the hotels. the rail-
roads and the merchants. The people of
Washington really should take the lead
in the matter. and l feel certain that
they are going to do it. The memorial
building will take the place of the pro-
posed auditorium. and I understand that
many persons who pledged money toward
the erection OF an auditorium here have
expressed their Willingness to donate the
money toward the erection of the memo
ria building

Endorsements of Project.

Mrs. Dimock read letters from Senator
Root, President Hadley of Yale, Gen.
Evans, commander-in-chief of the United
Confederate Veterans, and others indors-
ing the project.

mortal of George Washington" said Pres

mend it a desirable object to all who
may be inclined to take an interest in the
plan. Both individually and as repre-
sentative of Yale l wish you all success

Gen. Evans said: 1.-The brotherhood
known as United Confederate Veterans
,commends every effort made to continue
In our country the ascendancy of the
name of George Washington.
The purposes of the Memorial Assoca-
ton accord with the desire and hope of
this great patriotic southern organization
that our country shall be the most en-
lightened, useful, united government in
the world

country have already donated $4,000 each

In New York city a one-thousand-dollar
endless chain has been started, in which

thought, will be raised in this manner.

 An event was the taking of the first photograph in the olden days, when photography was still hampered by pitchforks and long exposures. There are few good baby pictures of our fath- CTS. The fond mother or father sit bolt upright, frozen or petrified, while be- tween them is a very starchy little dress surmounted by a very blurry lit tie spot which represents a composite of several partial likenesses of the hopeful

BUSINESS coNpIrIoNs.

The only unfavorable element in the situation is the unfavorable atti- tude of federal lawmakers and state officials towards the railways, and the spirit which would prevent the con- panies from moderately advancing their charges to offset the increased cost of operation, says the New York Herald. When the manufac- turer is obliged to pay higher prices for raw material and increased wages, he does the only possible thing in the circumstances, and cor respondingly raises the charge for his product The railways are obliged to pay increased prices for supplies and higher wages, and it is only req sonable that they should get more for what they sell, namely, transpor- tation.
 That they are impelled to raise their charges is plain from current traffic returns, showing increased gross takings, while costs of opera tion have increased in still greater ratio, with resulting decrease in net earnings. Unless the greatest of all industries is permitted to prosper, the country cannot be prosperous.

It H.a Nnt Hurt mIm.

An English coachman, 'one. of the olden time," is likely to be an original character. The late Archbishop Tait was driven by one of whom Dr. Ben son used to tell this good story:
 One day a clergyman who called at the palace asked him whether he still had as much to do as ever. The an swer was sublime:
 There's always a goodish bit doing, sir; but it has been a trifle easier since we took young MT Parry into the business The Rt. Rev. Edward Parry had then recently been appoint ed Bishop Suffragan of Dover.
 Another story he used to tell of a coachman will be new to many.
 gentleman living in the neighbor. hood of Addington, finding that the stablemen were not in the habit of attending church, spoke to his coach man about it.
 ''They ought to go," he said.
 That's just what I say myself, sir" was the rejoinder. "I says to them, Look at me. I go, and what harm does it do to me?"

The EnEIishman in Q Groove.

In England nine-tenths of the lads of the middle classes look forward TO nothing more than seat at an office desk with a certain number of shii- lings a week for a certain numb1r of years. To attempt to do anything else would be to run the risk of social os- tracism. A young man may loaf re specially on his family. but he must on no account start a business if it involves selling anything or producing anything with his hands. That would be bad form. It would be getting out side the groove. Thus for the great mass of the people England holds no romance. The lad who thinks he could do something is discouraged. Every thing is so cut and dried. Every class distinction is so definitely marked. The whole weight of public opinion is against the smallest divergence from the ordinary rule.-Manchester (Eng- land) Mail.

A Famous Fair.

In vast country like Russia, hard Iy yet opened up by railway communi cation, it is not surprising that there should still be a great fair like that of Nishni Novgorod. This town forms the meeting place of Russian and Asiatic traders, and the amount oi business done there is probably equal to that of half a dozen of the largest fairs of the middle ages. Vast quanti- ties of skins, iron, tobacco and cheap manufactured goods lie about in great heaps, and surrounded by the waters of the Volga and the Oka on the great market place arise shops and booths to the enormous number of ten thousand, while the visitors exceed half mil lion. The total business transacted at each fair is said to be about two hun dred and fifty million dollars, and the credits opened there exceed this fig. 'Ire.

THE WESTERN RESERVE.
~()~~)~~)


 Anyone who has been much in the Rockies is well aware of the fact that it is there regarded as highly improp CT to ask personal questions. EacI man maS vouchsafe whatever infor nation he pleases about himself, but be that much or little, no questions will be asked as to his antecedents plans or anything that is his. Some times this commendable practice works out rather curiously.
 MT. Melville, who has lived in re mote parts of the Rockies for forty years, has a son who is good deal oi a nomad, and who has led nearly every kind of life there is to be found with. in or without the confines of civiliZa Ition, west of the Missouri. ,e One day the father received a letter from his ieng-absent son. announcing an early return and intimating that he had lately married, and would shortly ensconce his bride beneath the parental rooftree.
 This news was not altogether pleas ing to the home folks, for the afore- said rooftree sheltered a log cabin of but two rooms.
 In due season the prodigal arrived alone, and was made welcome. He volunteered nothing, as to the partner of his joys and sorrows, and for some days nothing was said on the sub ject. Finally, the old mans legitimate curiosity got the better of the ''un- written law"
 Bring anybody with ye," he eau tiously 'ventured.
 Nope" was the reply, and there the conversation ended. To this day the fond parents have no idea what be came of the bride.

Hunting Trume. a. snort.

Quite apart from the interest of fun. gi to the naturalist the temptation cannot here be resisted to refer to a method of procuring one kind of fun gus, which might take rank among the minor sports. This is the fashion, originating in France, of procuring the trufle by the aid of swine and hounds. More ill-assorted sporting companions can hardly be imagined The truf1e grows underground. Pigs are particu- larly fond of these delicacies and, guided by the scent, will discover them by roofing in the earth. After the discovery of the truffles the dogs are employed to beat back the pigs and prevent them from devouring the spoil. And every quality dear to the sportsman of skill and judgment is needed to control and obtain the de sired result from the efforts of a herd of swine and a pack of hounds.-Lon- don Outlook.

Dramatic SurEerx.

There is nothing more dramatic in surgery than a transfusion of blood to see the patient take on the rosy hue of health. to awaken out of his leth- argy, show an immediate live interest in his surroundings and actually re- cover under the eye of the operator. In adults we must not permit the amount transfused to equal the nor nal, for lear of suddenly overtaxing the heart, but in the case of young children who have had severe hemor- images there may be complete recov- cry without a period of convalescence, so that at the termination of the oper- ation the patient is well.
