August 4, 1s05.-Joel Barlow, author
and man of wealth, who has been
living abroad for some time, under to-
days date wrote to President Thomas
jefferson that. having returned to his
native land he proposed ito pass the
Winter at or near Washington, and to
look for place to pitch our tents for
the residue of our lives"
Mr. Barlow Is an ardent Republican
and a friend of Mr. jefferson, whom he
has known and with whom he has cor
responded for many years. AS long ago
as 1901, he wrote to Mr.. Jefferson that
his private affairs were on such a foot
ing that my intention is to devote the
remainder of my life TO the promotion
Of the solid improvement of the country,
social, political and economical"
Mr.. Jefferson and other local friends
of Mr. Barlow fully expect that he will
choose the city Of Washington as his
place of residence and will thus be-
come, In a sense, pioneer of the
residential leisure class which optimists
expect to grow up soon in the Federal
City.
Another of Mr.. Barlow's friends is
Robert Fulton, reputed inventor of
steamboat although this claim is said
to be disputed by a man named Rum
sey. whose friends say he propelled
boat by steam power on the Potomac
River near Shepherdstown, Va in 1887.
Mr. Barlow Is interested not only in
furthering the plans of his friend Full
ton. but Is said to have plans for a
national university to which he will ask
Congress to lend aid when he comes
to live here next Winter.
While in France and England Mr..
Barlow showed deep interest in Full
tons experiments in those countries
with his steamboat and submarine
torpedo. He had intended to return
to the United States before this year,
but delayed the voyage across the
Atlantic Ocean until May of this year.
He did not come at once to Washing
ton. as his letter to President Jefferson
quoted above-indicates.
Mr. Barlow made most of his money
during his residence abroad. His APP
parent selection of Washington City as
place of permanent residence is
heartening to those who look forward
to the time when the Federal Capital
will be not only the seat of Congress.

departments, but of large colony of
residents interested in literature, art
and science, independent of the

1t scarcely seems possible that she

Ohio was thin and bandy-legged. AS
for Nero, although his busts and models
show him as possessing handsome
face, his figure was short and badly
proportioned. His neck was thick, his
stomach prominent. his legs were thin,
his skin was pimpled, his hair was
sandy colored and his greenish eyes
were ehortsighted, causing him to scowl.
Poupaea's ambitions caused her to
divorce Rufus Crispinus and marry
Ohio, who might possibly succeed Nero
as Emperor. But as the wife OF Ohio
she soon became intimately acquainted
with Nero, and decided there was no

Though warm weather is not con-
ducive to vigorous exercise, there are
many very simple exercises which will
help one to reduce. Deep breathing Is
not too strenuous for even the Warmest
days and when practiced systematically
1t brings wonderful results. When
maintained regularly before and after
meals it does much toward reducing
the waist and abdomen.
Stand erect, in the open air, and
with hands on hips inhale TO the very
depths of your lungs. Hold the breath
for a second or two and then grad

than merely reduce ones waist measure.
It increases the capacity of the lungs
and stimulates the flow of blood
through the body. As consequence
the blood is purer, the perspiration
freer and the skin becomes healthier
and clearer.

QUAINT P1NcusH1oN WITH BEADED DESIGN

Der of holes to the inch the smaller the
design will be.
A smart way to embroider the pat
tern. and one which takes the least
time, is to haste the canvas to piece of
textile and cross-stitch the design only,
taking each stitch through canvas and
textile. Pull out the strands of the can
vas after the work is done and the sill
houette will be left on the textile. This
is one of the olden-time, popular ways
of working designs, especially those for
chair seats. and it can be used to adj
vantage today.
Be sure the textile is well suited to
the purpose to which the work is to be
put. For example, stout material such
as lightweight woven felt, heavy broad
cloth or mems suiting, or something of
similar weight in upholstery textiles in
a plain fiat tone is right for chair seats,
stool tops. etc. If the embroidery is to
Be used for bag the textile can be
silk, linen or even cotton. 1t is impor-
tant to have the textile correct and the
work done in a color in artistic contrast.
The working medium may be wool,
silk or cotton, rayon or mixed me-
dium, such as silk and rayon, silk and
wool. etc. The design can be done in
beads, making handsome thing If the
work is for a bag or a pin cushion.
Beaded pin cushions are coming into
evidence in antiques revived, today,
which brings them also into popularity
in modern work with quaint flavor,
which this design certainly has. The
canvas should be very fine for bead en-
broidery and the beads large enough for
each one to ill the space Of stitch.

Everyday Psychology

Half and Half.

There is a Flaw of averages" that
seems to rule the world of nature. Take
it out of the business world and Wall
Street would turn out to be an alley.
Take 1t out of base ball, and the club
owners wouldn't know how to trade
players.
This same 'Iaw of averages" has a
place in psychology. There It is known
as the attitude of half and half" But
somehow this attitude Is usually not OBJ
served. otherwise, we would find fewer
faults with other people.
The fellow who thinks he is always
right and the other fellow always wrong
has failed to understand that at least
one-half the world belongs to other
people.
The man who understands this ele-
mentary mathematics of human nature
recognizes that on the average almost
any one may be counted on TO have a
few vices and also few virtues. The
rest of the world, as well as he, is one
half in the right.
This attitude of half and half" in
psychological matters is merely cues
to everything that men think about,
complain of or approve.
This attitude of half and half" has
something to do with your mental re-
actions to rainy days, hot days, needed
holidays, poor highways.
Those who have not learned the
meaning of such an attitude stopped
growing mentally when they were
young There was time when each of
us had his way about things more than
half the time. Those who haven
learned the law of averages" are not
able to handle their own business.

ency to reduce excess flesh. But unless
some exercise is also taken this way
of reducing will prove disappointing,
as the muscles viii be left soft and
f1abby. The steam bath and the
alternate hot and cold shower bath
both help one to reduce, but they
should be supplemented by exercises
which will keep the muscles firm and
supple.
Finally those who would lose weight
must learn to count Galleries. Those
who actually starve themselves will
most certainly lose weight, but they
may also lose their health. The body
must have a certain amount of food
and special care must be taken to see
that a necessary amount of building
and regulating food Is included in the
diet. Specialize on fresh, juicy fruits
and leafy vegetables; drink plenty OF
water between meals, so that free
perspiration will be induced, and exer-
else regularly every day. The woman
who chooses food carefully may take
from 500 to 1000 calories less per day
than the normal amount for her weight
and still feel splendid while the pounds
are melting away.

Keeping Slender in Summer.

Those who put on excess weight
quickly sometimes find the Summer
season more trying than the Winter
months. It is not so easy to do strenu-
hoyers around the COS, nor is it par
ticularly advisable, for it may prove
too fatiguing. Then, too, Summer is
the season when. one enjoys cool drinks
of all kinds, and most of these contain
a great deal of sugar, so are decidedly
fattening. Picnics, too, belong to Sum-
mer, and unless the hostess is particu-
larry careful her picnic menus may
contain such an amount of starch that
they give the insidious pounds chance
to grow in number
That is the dark side of the picture.
