Historic Cabin John Bridge.

Cabin John bridge Is a masonry
bridge In the Glen Echo suburbs Of
Washington, which crosses the deep
valley of shallow stream known as
Cabin John Run not far from its con-
fuence with the Potomac. The bridge
was built In the fifties to carry the
conduit which supplies the water for
the capital and was for many years
the longest single span Of masonry in
the world. It's architect and builder
was Montgomery G. Meigs, later quar-
termaster general of the army, and 1t
was erected under direction of the war
department. A tablet in one spandrel
gives the usual information as to date
Of completion of the bridge and the
names of those concerned In its struc-
ture, among them that Of the secretary
Of war. But as the late secretary Of
war, Jefferson Davis, was In 1861,
when the bridge was completed, en-
gagged upon the other side 1t was
deemed preferable not to carry his
name upon the bridge and blank bill
let was left In the stone above the
official title. y.

Minnows Are Good to Eat.

A correspondent asks-Are the little
fishes called minnows good to eat?-
We do not know Of any reason why
they should not be edible. They are
Of cleanly habits, free from impuri.
ties, and though small, quite meaty.
Old Izaak Walton in his Angler de-
scribes the minnows and says: TN the
spring they make Of them excellent
minnow tansies, for being washed well
in salt and their heads and tails cut
off, and their CUTS taken out, and not
washed after, they prove excellent for
that use, that Is being fried with yolks
Of eggs. The flowers of cowsliI and
Of primroses and little tansy thus
used, they make dainty bit Of meat"
The popular English dish Of whitehall
Is much like minnows, but its edibility
all depends on its preparation and man.

not be despised as an article Of food
merely because 1t Is so small. What
Izaak Walton called tansy was an
old-fashioned name Of q little stew, or
meat pie.-Exchange.

Long and Short Falls.

In one Kansas City building, the ele-
vator boy who works mornings is very
short, and the one who is on afternoons
Is very tall. When the short one comes
up into view, he says "Watch your
STEP" and you step out and down, al
though the floor is more frequently up.
Consequently, you stub your toe and
lose your dignity. Then about noon,
the tall boy looms up. He says watch
your STEP" and your sense of distances
tells you the step is up. You raise your
foot up, and fall down, crashing into
the back of the car, provided some
delicate old lady isn't In the way. Al
together, the variety of boys Is very an
noying to man with a lame, stiff knee.

Wheat requirements of Europe

Wheat requirements of Europe
an nations may be judged from
figures complied by the Food Ad-
ministration. The Western Euro
pean Allies normally consume
more than 9O0,0OO,O0O bushels Of
wheat annually, of which they i'm
port 400, 100000 bushels-nearly
half. With present reduced har-
vests the Allies required much
more.
The Central Powers on the
ther hand normally require for
their total needs about 100000, 900
bnshels of wheat, of which they
raise all but 70, 200, ,0O0 bushels.
1t will be observed that in peace
times The Western European Allies
receive six times as much wheat
from other countries as do the
Central Powers.
These facts emphasize the neces-
sity for the United States to fur
nish the wheat which cannot be Sc.
cured from India, Australia and
other remote countries, because of
shortage in ships.
Barberry bushes in our yards or
on our premises may be the indi-
ect cause of the loss of a large
field of wheat by rust. The total
loss in the country frCm wheat by
rust in 1915 was about 100000, 900
bushels; it may be greater this
year. Which will you project,
the common barberry bush or the
wheat feld9 The wheat means
bread; the common borberry at
best is only ornamental. 1t
spreads rust.
The leaves of the common bar
berry have saw, toothed edges and
there are three forked spines at the
base of each cluster of leaves.
The leaves Of the Japenese bar
berry have smooth edges and their
,pines are usually single.

Powerful Pump.

Your heart is very busy organ.
While you breathe once 1t beats four
times. At each beat 1t sends four
pounds Of blood through your veins
and arteries. The weight of the cir
culating blood Is 20 pounds. When
you run your legs and the other parts
of your body need more blood, so your
heart must pump faster.-Popular Sci

The word boulevard means "bul-

But since the middle Of the nineteenth
century the title has been applied to

STATE POLITICAL JOBS
EFFICIENCY THE TEST

BoARD-soME DESIRABLE
POSITIONS.

One hundred and lightweight jobs,
ranging from $65 to $333.33 per month
will be distributed by the republican
state administration between now ana
January 6. when it takes up the reins
of the state government, says the
Boise Statesman. No changes Will
probably be made in the 36 other OF
the 224 state jobs as the department
heads over these employees have either
been reelected or will holdover
Members of the new administra-
ton have made no announcements as
to the personnel of their departments.
Governor elect D. w. Davis has an
nounced that efficiency will be the
first test of the persons he appoints to
state jobs.
How Appoi ntments Are Made.
One delusion among amateur office-
seekers is that the governor is the
man who gives out all the Jobs. More
than 100 appointments are made by
the governor, but, outside Of about IN
really large jobs, which he must MI

leaders Of the state, most of the lou
Jobs are on boards and commissions
that pay only per diem compensa-
tion during actual employment OF the
appointee in his work. which lasts in
most cases only few weeks out OF
the wear. Compared with the rea
plums, these might be called CRAB
ple Jobs so far as the salary is con-
cerned.
Most of the big jobs are filled by the

Make Practical Tests.
Inc authors believe that a study of
the costs Of the methods discussed
py owners of properties to which
such processes could be advantage
ously applied. should result in their
being given semi commercial tests
due to the fact that practically all Of
the processes mentioned give high re-
coVeries of the metal values, and pro.
ouce metallic lead. The adoption of
such processes would permit of the
treatment CT lead ores which at the
present time are too low grade to
ship, and which can not be concen-
trated into high grade product due
TO the chemical and physical nature
OF the ores. Moreover, any process
which will produce the metal at the
mine, and which is commercially
feasible. should be acceptable to the
operator, due to the fact that it per-
mits him to ship bullion, and thus ell

amount of worthless gangue material,
