CAPITALS "zoo' UNRIvALED
No City In Country Can Boast Of
Finer Collection Of Wild
Animals.

Washington people have not a
proper appreciation of the splendor OF
their geological park and their gen
eral park system remarked Clay
Stewart of Chicago the other day.
."Chicagoans are proud of the parks
and their 'zoo,' but there is no city
In this country that can boast of n
finer collection OF wild animals and
birds than is contained In the park
here. | have been in many geological
gardens In this country and abroad.
and | do not know of better or more
varied assortment of animals and
birds. The London gardens and the
New York ZOO are more extensive.
but neither has the Washington park
beaten in natural setting.
II do not think there is more com
plete collection of bears anywhere.
and ] never saw a finer specimen OF
brown bear than the one in the Wash
ington ZOO 1t is many pounds larger
than any ever saw in Alaska. ! do
not think there are such bears In that
country, probably because they have
to husHe for their food whereas the
old fellow In the park here gets all he
wants handed to him.
1T is a common belief that the bear
Is dangerous animal. Ordinarily
this might be true. but naturalists
have repeatedly told me that II left
alone a bear will never trouble man.
Charles Sheldon, a millionaire sports
man Of New York. once ran right into
the arms of big brown bear in Alas
ka and, according to his story, 1t was
question which was frightened most,
himself or the bear. The bear made
on as lively as II could. So with the
panther. This animal. though fierce
looking. rarely attacks a man."

is OLDER THAN GOVERNMENT
Seal Of Treasury OF United States Or
dered Made by the ContI-
mental Congress.

The design OF the seal OF the
treasury of the United States, in all
its essential features. Is older than
the national government. From the
days Of the confederation of the colo
nies down through the history of the
Republic the Latin motto on the seal
has been The seal of. the Treasury of
North America,
These interesting facts have Just
been developed by an investigation
by the treasury department, tracing
the history of the seal. The consti-
tutional congress ordered its construc.
tion September 26, 1873, appointing
John Witherspoon, Governor Morris
and R. H. Lee a committee on design.
There is no record of the report of the
committee, but Impressions of the seal
have been found as early as 1882.
The original seal was continued in
use until 1849. when. worn out, 1t
was replaced by new cut, made by
Edward Stabler Of Montgomery coun-
ty, Maryland.
He was directed to make fac.
smile Of the old seal, but there are
some negligible differences. The
symbols. however. are the same.
There are the 13 stars. representing
the 13 colonies; the scales, as the EN-.
blem Of justice. and keys in secular
heraldry. denoting an ONCE of state.

FURNITURE FROM PHILIPPINES

Ihere is an exhibition in Gen.

The furniture shows the ability and

as well as their capacity to learn. The
policy of the government has been to
prepare the Filipino for industrial ef-

In addition TO making use of the

taught how to work with other prod

the public schools of the Philippines.
They make hats In durability OF tex
ture equal to Panama hats. Indeed.
many of the so-called Bankok hata
come from the Philippines. The Fill
pino girls of the public schools make
lace and embroidery. which equals
the finest quality of the handmade
product of Europe.

GRACEFUL enveloping coats of fig-
" ured and brocaded fabrics, espe-
cfally those of satin. are luxurious
beyond all other garments except
those of rich fur. In these figured
satin coats the design breaks up and
enhances the sheen of surfaces. Their
high luster forms a playmate for
color and light and the three dance
together upon them.
II one is looking for the luxurious,
1t is to be found in these garments.
In the new, and what are termed
fancy" colors these coats are only
suited to high occasions. Oftener
they are developed in gray, or taupe,
or in some rich brown shade and are
more generally useful. Perhaps gray
is the shappiest choice of color for
them; It is at home everywhere and
It is very elegant andy comparison
quiet. The figured satin coat does
not pose as quiet. however-it is a
snowy garment.
Innings are in contrasting colors,
but they must be chosen carefully.
Nothing conspicuous will do FOR them.
For trimming. fur and. marabout
come into use. Both these. this sea-
son. are dyed into all sorts of colors.
They are, after all, best in natural
colors and In black and white.

HARD TIME LEARNING ENGLISH
South American Diplomat Finds Some
Teachers Too Pretty; Others
Too Ugly.

There is a South American minis
ter in Washington who. although he
has been here as the diplomatic rep
resentative OF his country for some
time. has had hard time learning
enough English to make himself un-
derstood. During his stay. he has en-
ployed number of teachers. but
found 1t hard to get suited. He tried
a new one every few months. but he
declared that he could never learn
because he could not find a really
good teacher-that is one to whom he
could give his undivided attention
One did not answer because she
was pretty, another was facinatingly
ugly. but one was especially bad
because her dress was misfit In the
back, and SO horribly cut that 1t
spoiled what might have been a good
figure. He was unable to look at the
blackboard on which she wrote Eng
lish words for his instruction. 80 abb
sorbed was he in contemplating her
back He could not stand anything
SO shocking to his aristocratic nerves.
although she was noted Instructor.

Brown fox, martin, skunk and fitch
are among the most fashionable furs
and favorites as a finish on satin
coats. Marabout, next to fur Tin the
natural COLOR. looks well on them.
The coat of figured satin looks luxu-
rious and comfortable and when made
right, its performance is up to its ap-
pearance. 1t is expensive, but 1t ex-
cuses this characteristic by unusual
beauty.
Similar coats of figured crepe cost
less. but cannot be classed as mex
pensive. Mattelasse makes beauti-
full coat much like its prototype in
satin.
In spite of the vogue for shorter
coats than those worn last winter,
there are plenty of examples of long
coats In satin and in fur. Robert, OF
Paris, shows model in sealskin
trimmed with martin, much longer
than the coat pictured here Max
shows one in moleskin trimmed with
pure ermine considerably shorter. So
the matter of length need not deter
one from choosing coat longer than
those popularity worn and by this
means achieying long. graceful lines
and the utmost of the suggestion of
comfort and elegance.

with the raw edge turned under and
blind-stitched into narrow hem.
The extra fulness of Grape is laid
in irregular folds at any place on the
band where 1t becomes necessary to
dispose Of 1t. This depends upon the
shape of the crown. 1t will be seen
that the Grape is almost plain across
the front. but has considerable full
ness at the right side and apparently
less at the left.
The Grape lies almost plain across
the back of the shape also. The
hemmed edge is tackled to the upper
edge of the band with its fulness dis.
posed of in this way and this finishes
the hat except for the small fiat bow
made of the silk and sewed t6 the
band at the right side
The home milliner who knows how
to sew neatly may undertake this hat.
1t Is one of the few Grape hats which
can be trusted to other than profess
sional makers. Mourning millinery is
considered difficult to make even by
professionals. But specialists who have
been trained in the possibilities Of

Lyons. together with his future com
fort, was saved.
Mr.. Smith was glad to find the
precious porcupine. and Mr.. Lyons
was glad to have him take charge OF
the animal
The collector also brought in ten
so-called "howling monkeys" They
are OF a species that have never be-
fore thrived in captivity. but Mr..
Smith has found way to keep them
alive.
Knowing that the food given their
kind In the ZOOS has been responsible
for most of the deaths. he sacrificed
one monkey to science. After investi-
eating the contents Of its stomach
he was able to work on the proper
diet, which consists chiefly of bananas
and a weed resembling our own
fresh catnip.
The snakes with the hind legs are
OF species OF python. They have
two distinctly developed limbs near
the tall and hang from the branches
of trees with these legs and drop on
their prey.
