.WASHTNGTON.-Ignorance on the
w part of amateur diplomats con
cerning the proper form Of diplomatic
correspondence nearly precipitated a
war scare in two nations not long
since. II was announced that the em-
poror OF Germany had deliberately
alfronted the United States govern
ment by employing affectlonate terms
IN addressing President Madriz Of
Nicaragua, whom our government had
refused to recognize.
Great and Good Friend" is the
way the kaiser's letter to Madrlz was
commenced. This had sinister sig
nllicance to the amateurs. Immedi-
ately the newspapers were filled with
stories that Germany had espoused the
cause of Madriz; that the Monroe
doctrine had been thrown down and
repudiated by the warlike kaiser;;
also the emperor had been acting
queerly Of late and undoubtedly was
bent on making all the trouble he
could for the United States. After a
little inquiry the war scare faded
away.

dries to be made fresh and white, en-
ploy some ON to do the work in their
homes, or get busy themselves, and,
with the aid of washing machines or
stationary tubs, manage to do their
own laundry work
In the smaller cities Of Italy there
are public laundries at which the
women Of the place congregate, com
ing from all directions, each with her
basket of soiled clothes balanced on
her head. At these laundries there
are long stone basins filled with wa
ter, and there side by side the women
and young girls stand, sometimes pro-
tected by a roof, but quite as often in
the open air All through the proc
ess of rubbing and rinsing and beating
the articles on the stone side of the
basin, the voluble Italians carry on
lively conversation, exchanging the
news of the day with as much gusto
as do the females of our acquaint-
ance who gather around the card Ia
bles.
As much of the clothing of tho
town,folk is washed in the one long
basin, the water early becomes-well,
the opposite of cleau-and when the
last drop is squeezed from the gar
ments and they are carried home to
dry they are in no condition to be
used as advertisements for washing
powder Passing through the towns,
the tourist often finds the quaint homes
and beautiful landscape adorned with
these not overly white articles of
dress, as the Italian housewife has not
the slightest compunction in hanging
the garments from her windows, or
any other available place. The river
bank furnishes a convenient place for
those living near it, and in Naples
there is always more or less clothing
spread out to dry on the stone wall
which guards the fashionable drive
way from the beautiful bay.

nEER and elk preserves may play an
~ important part in reducing the
high cost of beef. According to gov
ernment experts who have made an
investigation of the cost and methods
Of raising venison, declare that the
game laws of the various states are
preventing deer and elk farming and
denying the country one of its chief
sources of cheap and good meat. Dee.
and elk can be raised readily in near
ly every state in the Union. They are
easily controlled and cheaply fed.
The increase of elk under domestica.
tion is fully equal to that Of cattle.
They are harder and more able to
stand exposure and the elk hide is
more valuable than that Of the steer
The Virginia or Whitehall deer, com
mon in most parts Of the United
States, is not so hardy as the elk, but
with proper care can be raised with
profit.
The state and the government,
through its Yellowstone park officials,
have co-operated with individual
ranchmen in caring for the vast herds
of elk in the Jackson's Hole region in
Wyoming. It is estimated that there
are 10000 elk in the Yellowstone park,
region, constituting the only great
herd left. For two or three winters
these elk have been fed, and have now
come to look upon the feeding as Il

A REPORT made to congress by a
"A commission appointed to examine
land titles in the District of Columbia
discloses that many lots of land occu-
pied by modern business houses and
residences in the national capital are
still owned by the government, not
withstanding the present tenants be-
lieve they have a clear title to the
property.
This question Of land titles in the
national capital is not new one. Two
years ago congress created a commits
sion to study it. The commission con-
sisted of the attorney general, the sec
retary of war, Senator Scott Of West
Virginia, Representative Bartholdt Of
Missouri, and one of the district com
missioners. The report reveals a hor-
rible land tangle, which the courts will
probably never be able to straighten
out. The tangle is the outcome of the
wild speculation in real estate that
took place for a good many years after
the capital was laid out.

FAMOUS CHURCH REOPENED.
Interior Decoration of Ensenaneza
Edifice Declared to Be the Most
Beautiful in Mexico.

City of Mexico.-In the reopening of
the old Ensenaneza church on Gale
dc Donceles, formerly Cordobanes, one
of the richest and most valuable gems
Of art work was restored to public en-
joyment.
This church was among the prop
erty confscated by the state at the
time of the constitutional reform
movement and the separation of
church from state in Mexico 1t was
constructed about IT'S years ago, out
of funds donated by wealthy Span
ish countess, and placed in charge of
the religious order that conducted the
Ensenaneza convent, now used by the
federal courts.
In addition to the handsomely
carved high altar, rich piece Of work
in cedar overlaid with pure gold leaf
and reaching to the top Of the nave,
are ten side affairs, equally as hand
somely carved and also overlaid with
fine gold. Very little, comparatively,
of the wall space is left uncovered by
these massive gilded furnishings, and
this space is filled in with immense
oil paintings, some of the rarest works
OF art of the kind in Mexico City in
Guiding one or two genuine masters.
On account Of the rare value of
these decorations, and their unique
character as the only church decora
tions of tie kind in Mexico Secretary
of Finance Limantour some time ago
took steps to have the temple restored

ranchmen in the Rocky mountain cOun

left in the west.
Barret Littlefeld who lives neal
Slater, has several hundred elk on hit

many carcasses Of elk to the Denver
market, besides supplying geological
gardens throughout the country. He
has found it profitable to raise elk fol

to the raising of venisOn. There are
