carved stone such as originally appeared IN the
representations of state seals or coats-ofarms,
and almost every one of these details is missing.
The nations monument, which is vast in
size that an army Of twelve thousand men might
be comfortably housed in its Interior weighs
more than eghty-one thousand tons. Engineers
declare that it is one Of the very few actually
and absolutely freproof structures in the United
States, and although cracks have from time to
time appeared in the walls, it is the popular be-
lief that nothing short of a severe earthquake
could destroy the shaft. It has been repeatedly
struck by lightning and such visitations have no
terrors for the obelisk thanks to the forethought
of the builders in providing ingenious system
of electric conductors. The keynote of the
scheme is found in small pyramid of aluminium
weighing about hundred ounces, which
crowns the capstone Of the monument This
metal headpiece is connected with rods that de-
scend six hundred feet to well sunk to a con-
siderable depth below the level of the earth
The monument has been visited by as many as
five electric bolts within interval Of twenty
minutes, but the worst damage ever done was
the cracking of one of the stones near the top
The shaft that rises from the gentle slope
between the White House and the Potomac cost
the nation about $1,3O0.O60 nearly 100000 hav-
ing been expended upon the new foundation
alone. The present upkeep OF the monument in
wolves no great expense. The elevator which car
ries to the top Of the monument those visitors
who do not care to climb the 900 steps makes
trip every half hour (although but seven minutes
is required for the ascent Of 500 feet), and
will accommodate thirty persons. Looking out
from the windows at the top OF the monument
SIT feet above ground the visitors behold won.

An engineer on Long Island en-,
CINE smiled at would-be passenger
standing on station platform when
the train was passing it. The passen-
ger took this as an intimation that the
train was going to slow down for him,
and tried to board, with the result OF
losing leg and the railroad having
to pay $4,000. The company will now in
struct it's employees that exhibitions OF
amiability and good will on the part
Of employees toward the public must
not be made under circumstances that
render the outcome SO equivocal.

WAR CHANGES FASHIONS.

Was there ever war that did not
exert an influence on fashions? Boz
hemian fez-makers, 1t is said, are de-
ploring the prospective waning OF
their once profitable branch OF manu-
facture. AS a result of the decline OF
Islamic religion and the rise OF Chris
tian prestige IN southeastern Europe
the use OF the fez in Thrace and Mac
edonia already has declined. A recent
writer says that apart from the IN
fiuence of defamation of the Mahome-
tan population by the war, the Turks
who remain in Europe as subjects or
the Christian states will soon, as for
mer examples have shown, exchange
the fez for the Iambskin cap worn by
the Christian peasantry. The fez, it Is
remarked, is merely an adaptation OF
the ancient turban, and the only thing
that matters to the Mahometan is that
his headgear should have no brim, or
even shade, so that he may sit on the
floor of the mosque as prescribed by
the Koran with a covered head, and
yet, when saying his prapers, touch
the ground with his bare forehead For
this ceremonial the lambsk1n cap
would do just as well.

be described as an iron tower within

DEAR SIR Your favor of the 21st
inst. is received. The law of 1912 pro-
vides that Boards of Education i'll
cities having q population of less than
forty-five thousand shall consist of
five members each, but there Is pro-
visO that the members then in office
shall continue to serve for the terms
for which they were severally appoint
ed. 1t appears that In your city the
Board has heretofore consisted of nine
members aud that on the 2lst inst. the
terms of three will expire, and
that two OF her members of the
Board have resigned, their resigna-
tions to take effect OH said date. l am
of the opinion that rs soon as the
Board is reduced to five it cannot be
increased beyond that number and
that, therefore, it will be your duty to
appoint but one member for the term
of five years.
Very truly yours,
}. b. BELTS,
Asst. Commissioner of Education.

ceived the designations of Mrs. Prall

American Business Hustle.

Here, is an instance of the thorough ness with which England's commer- cial rivals do business. A leading municipality in the far east is order Ing large quantity of electrical ma terial, and the head of the department concerned was authorized to visit Ger many, Great Britain and the United States to inspect plants. He crossed to America first and found that the American agent from the city from which he came had notified every manufacturer of his visit and his mis- sion, with the result that when he landed he received sheaf of letters of invitation from manufacturers, and of offers of hospitality. As result. he saw everything he wanted under exceptionally favorable conditions, and every courtesy was shown to him. The German representative is doing precisely the same, but nothing what ever has been done by or on behalf of the British manufacturer. If the representative wants to see anything In this country ne has to dig it out for himself, for nobody seems to care for the business and nobody knows of it.-London World.

CHOSE LESSER OF TWO EVILS
Theatrical Manager, cornered, Yield ed Passes When Threatened With
 a Distressing Affliction.

A poet with precious scrap-book of his own writings under his arm wandered by theater, when suddenly the idea struck him that he would like to see play that night, so enter ing the place he asked for the press agent. That gentleman was out, but the manager was in. He was ushered in, and the deus ex machina inquired his business. T would like two seats for tonight" faltered the man of verse. An who might you be?" asked the manager. The poet mentioned his name. sUm, yes," smiled the other. I've heard of you, but why should give you seats?" The bard murmured something about courtesy to the press, and added that probably identifica- tion might be necessary. so. as he had a scrap-book of his published poems, he would be glad if But the man. ager cut him short, and calling out to his secretary to make out couple of passes for that night. said: My dear sir, I'd rather give you the whole house than read your poems!
