Washington's City Directory. containing
149, 300 names and representing $50 per-
sons, is not appreciated by the average
citizen. Besides presenting the usual

tion contained between its covers, and the
unconscious reader has no conception of
the scope Of knowledge 1t embraces.
What is the most popular name in
Washington? What is the last name in
the directory? Are there any proper
names contained that might pass for
Sunday school words? and a multiplicity
of questions that would catch many who
had prided themselves on how remark
ably we'll posted they were.
