"Such a ter rible state of affairs!" say the society people of the nation's capital. "Who will lead us during the coming season?" It seems like .a paradox. With a ?? wonderful wealth of material from which to select, this city must be de "" priTod of some woman to lead It in its social whirl. This comes from ?uauj Kwim. nrai, in society women of Washington ere on such good terma they do not cere to generate e eplrlt of rivalry for the poaltlon.

Then, again, ahere ere eo many different a eta to be led In the Capital City that the aoclal leader who would undertake the entire lob would neceaaarlly have to work overtime. For the first time alnce Prealdent Harrison's admlnlatratton the national capital la without a drat lady of the land. The death of Mra. Wlleoo haa caat gloom over the aoclal altuatlon. Usually the mlatreae of the White Houae play a an Important role In bringing the various "eeta" together. That in ltaelf la no mean taak. While New York haa Ma four hundred, Washington haa theae: Tba diplo matic aet. the oongreaalonal circle, southern society, the army and nary con tingent. the native Inhabitants, and others too numerous to mention. Aside from the aforementioned, Washington boasts In Its social, curricu lum little groups made np from the beat people of the various states and ter ritories. For Instance, there Is the Indiana society and the Michigan society and the Illinois society. To "belong" to either of these groups It la necessary that the aspirant be a native In good standing of either of these states. "No outslMVs" la the slogan of all such societies. And there you are. it, '? * ... President May Select a New Summer White House WHAT to do for a summer White House next rear is a problem which Presi dent Wilson must soon face. His lease on Harlakenden bouse. In th< Cornish, N. H? pines expires this year, and whether be will see fit to renew 11 is a secret wuicn ne alone anares. HU closest friends believe he will se lect some other place. Moreover, in 4 various sections of the country there ? are movements afoot to erect or ae- 1 leet a permanent summer White J House. As far as President Wilson Is con- ^ cerned the problem of Retting such a . place causes him little concern. But next year, with only a short session of congress Id sight, he may have more opportunity than heretofore for vacationing, i nil season Be baa Jeen able to take only a piecemeal vacation. On tbeee occaaloni he baa elected to go to Hartakenden house, where his fam ily has sojourned tor several months. And the trips bare done him good, brief though they were. But It Is possible thgt he will prefer a change of scene for his next year's vacationing, ir hp does, be wBl have plenty of room for selection. The latest proposal for a summer White House Is "Montlcello," Thomas Jefferson's old home In Virginia. Representative Levy's willingness to sell this place to the government for a half million dollars has suggested the Idea that It would make an excellent placejbr presidents to sojourn In tlieir off momenta Per haps the chief advantage of such a scheme would be the accessibility of the place from Washington. In Umes when the' president was not there It could be a Mecca for tourists?as It has been under private ownership, kf Tjien another suggestion for a summer residence of the presidents Is the construction of a borne at Mount Weather. Va.. a government reservation only a short distance from the capital. This spot would be Ideal either as a summer home or as week-end vacation place. The president' there need not ' feel that he Is "off the job." for Its nearness to Washington would make It possible for him to get back to the capital on the shortest notice. v" ? ?

The call to quarters Is sounded and the guns of the ship are loaded and fired as the gunners on American warships have always known how to. do. Fhr an hour and forty minutes the light Is kept up.

M"i Alfalfa Plaid, Showing tha Uaa of Canvaa Capo for Curing tha Crop. (By A. M. SOULE ) No forage plant haa ever boon In troduced had successfully cultivated In the United States possessed of the general excellence of alfalfa. On lands to which It la adapted. It will yield from three to eight tons of cured hay, and It Is decidedly superior In nutri tive qualities to red clover, which Is generally regarded as one of the best crops that can be grown on the farm. Alfalfa remains peymanently in the soil when well established for periods varying In length from six to ten years, though there are Instances on record where It has grown on the Same land for fully fifty years. The growth of alfalfa means thei material lessening^ of the cost of crop growing, because seeding Is only nec essary onoe In several years, and thereafter the'.farmer has only to out and harvest his crop or pasture It down as his judgment directs When the bay Is stored In the hdhi h,* has a foodstuff that will replayslarge part of the expensive ei -mies which It Is now necessary to buy on stock farms to supplement the ration of corn and cereal grains raised on the land. In addition to these virtues It is an enricher of the soil, because It belongs to the famous family of le guminous crops which under certain conditions have the remarkable pow er of gathering free atmospheric ni trogen and storing It In the soli or building It Into their tissues for the nourishment of growing animals, dairy cows and other classes of stock which require large supplies of protein. These are bet a few of the special qualities which commend this plant to the attention of the farmer Under these conditions It is but natural that men. should strive to grow alfalfa, for ltd successful production would change snoi only the physical condition of the land on many farms, but greatly Im prove the financial condition of the owner as well- So many failures have been recorded that some may question the valuable quantise referred to, but It la only Juet to aay that these hare not been exaggerated la any sense of the word, nor can they be exaggerated, for there Is no plant which can be cul tivated on the farm possessed of a greater variety of desirable qualities than alfalfa. Therefore, it Is ef the utmost Importance that those who wish to cultivate It should fully ap preciate all Its peculiarities, for when once secured It will repay the owner for the striving and heart-burnings to which he was subjected In his ef forts to secure a good stand. _ During the first year of Its growth alfalfa la delicate. It is nothing like as vigorous as red clover, and If the two were sown together the chances are that the alfalfa would be Crowded out by Its more precocious rival. It Is not advisable under any circum stances to sow alfalfa with graBs for It will certainly choke It out. After the first year alfalfa Is quite hardy and will hold Its own fairly well against any of Its rivals, provided a good stand Is obtained in the begin ning. It will be difficult or practically Impossible to maintain a partial stand of alfalfa, because where weeds and grass get a foothold they spread rap Idly and eventually, choke It out un less the field baa been established for several years and such plants as re main are possessed of unusual vitality. Where only a partial stand la secured It Is better to Wow the land up. thor oughly prepare, and reeeed. Much time and effort hav% been wasted ? In at tempting to reseed alfalfa on - land which was too poor to grow it In the beginning. Alfalfa often falls even though all the physical condition^ seem favorable, because the bacteria which live In the nodules on Its roots are ndt present In the soil. This defi ciency must be supplied by getting soil from an old alfalfa field or from fleldp where sweet clover or burr clover hap previously been grown with success or by means of artificial culture COWPEAS TO FURNISH HUMUS Soil Deficiency May Be Restored If Crop Is Plowed Under?Roots Go to Considerable Depth. Why sow cowpefSs? Why put acres sod acres of land'to this legume that was once confined almost exclusively to the South and has now beoome one of the staple crops that Is feeling Its yray a few miles farther toward the Canadian boundary every year? ? I wiU confess I am a cowpea crank, sayt" an Arkansas writer In Farm Progress. I don't have the Idea that It la the mainstay and the backbone of all farming operations, but I am willing to maintain that It will do more than any other legume we hare to .-ward maintaining our soli fertility. I can enumerate a good many reasons why every termer who can grow cow peas should grow them. And among those reasons I want to place the maintaining of our soils first. Maybe they are not so neces sary In the deep-soil countries, but in shallow soiled sections where the bard pan lurks but a few Inches under the surface and the clay ribs of the hills show after a few years' cultivation. J the cowpea Is a greater aid than any other one crop. Take the roots and the stubble. What are, they worth. In dollars and cents? ' it you bought the fertility they pull out of the air you would pay from $2 to |4 an acre for It They are humus, fertility, renewed vigor, the promise of Immediate results and the hope of many a future yield. Most of our soils are deficient in humus. They have been ever since we cut the timber off the wooded lands or turned under the original sod of deep rooted prairie grasses. We have neglected the humus side of soil maintenance for a many a long day. The cowpea vines, roots and leaves will help to restore It If we will turn tbem under. If the pea crop Is turned .under when full of sap and at the height of Its growth It will be worth a great deal to the land. Men buy subsoiltng plows and use them. Cowpeas will do much of this necessary work. The roots will do the subsoiltng. as they reach down and down after moisture and soil stuff They go to considerable depths and they take with them through the chan nels In the earth, the air and the rain water from the upper levels.

Wa must read all (pur aoeounta of thla event attentively, reverently, bumbly, for It cannot be treated even aa otber events In tbe Ufa of our Lord. I. The Proceeelon to Calvary, v. 21. Twwa a phyelcally exhausted Christ that left the judgment hall. A night of vigil, mocking, buffeting and with out food since the previous evening left him too weak to -bear the cross. Then It was that a son of Africa. Simon of Cyrene, was Impressed" to bear the Burden. The Romans de manded that the victim bear his own cross. Me accepted the human help, but refused the aid of tbe drug. Matt. 27:34. -Luke gives us at this point the Incident of the weeping woman. Mark 13:22 seems to Indicate that Jesus had to be assisted to the place of the cross. Op the Cross. II. The Place, Calvary, w. 22-27. Here we aee him, the brlghtnesa of God'e glory and the express Image of bla peraon, the Incarnation of truth. In whom dwelt the fullneas of the God head bodily?"crucified." Sin haa done Its worat. The Scrlpturea are fulfilled. Pa. 22:18, Zech. 11:10. It waa neces sary for our aalvatlon that he should die exactly aa he did, Gal. 3:10, 13; John 3114; Deut. 31:23. Even the parting of his garments was prophe sied. Pa. 22:18. The presence of two malefactors had also been foretold, Isa. 63:9, 12. , III. The Passers-by at Calvary, w. 29-32. The people and the priests joined in heaping scorn upon him. Even those that were crucified with him "reproached him." Yet he loved them all. There seem to have been no gibes for the two thieves, John 15:19, II Tim. 3:12. The cry of the mob now,. Is "save thyself" (v. 30). 'Twas spoken In mockery, but they spoke a truth, nevertheless: It waa necessary for the good shepherd to give hla life for the sheep, John 10:11, and by no means to use his power In saving himself. They did not believe on him after the resurrection' of Laia rus: Is It to be believed that they would have accepted him had he "saved himself?" To have saved him self would have been for him to take himself out of the bands of God?ah act of disobedience, and we read that "he was obedient onto death," Phil. 2:8. He was obedient unto death, for death had no hold upon him. He was obedient to the passion and impulse of eternal love. ?IV. The Person on Calvary, w. 33 40. In the midst of this awful scene. In the confusion of the mingled cry of the mob, there la sounded one note of triumph. As Jesus waa thus "lifted up from the earth" (John 12:32), one of those, his companions, ceased to revile him. and -cried out, "Art thou the Christ?" and, to be literal, "If so. save us." The other seems to have had his vision cleared, tor he rebukes his fellow criminal by saying that their condemnation was a Just reward for their deeds. Turning to Jesus he exclaims, "Remember m? ? . *. In thy kingdom." The answer was Imme diate and significant, "Today shslt thou be with me In paradise." This Is a graphic Illustration of the whole meaning and symbolism of the cross. In his undying hour the Savior of men loosed this sinner from his sins and granted him the right to fellowship with blm In the life beyond. Jesus hung upon the cross thres hours, Bearlnc shame and scoffing rude. In my place condemned he stood Sealed my pardon with his blood. Hallelujah what a savior. Hit Faith Triumphant, Then God drew the curtain, for even he could not look upon that scene (II Cor, 5:21;. Heir 1:13). We do not believe the eclipse theory, but rather that God caused the" darkness, anoth er Illustration of the closeness of man and nature, Rom. 8:20, 21 R. V. The dying cry, "My God, my God, why hast, thou forsaken me," was uttered when Jesus sensed the full and complete realisation of being separated from the Father. Death Is not annihilation, but separation, and Jesus was sepa rated from God the FVher because of our sins, Isa. 53:6. Yet In that terri ble moment his faith does not waver, for be cries, "My God." Conscious of his personal Innocence, but suffering for the sins of otbersr his faith is triumphant Other lives have a be ginning and an end, this one Is "fin ished." His redemptive work Is ac complished and was later sealed by his resurrection. "He gave up the ghost," not * common experience of death, but a fulfillment of his own words. "No man taketh It (his life) away from me, but I lay It down of myself." In deed and in truth JesUs gave up his life. John 19:26-27 tells of the faithful women and of the com mittal of Mary to the care of "the dis ciple"?John. Immediately following his death the veil of the temple at, Jerusalem was rent from the "top to the bottom." Not by the hgnd of man and the last symbolic event In the history .of the old ritualism Is com pleted. That veil had excluded from God all save the high priest and was the only way of approach to his pres ence. Now a new and a better way of admission is open and through Christ men need no longer be excluded from God, Heb. 10:19. 10. V* A- * j?,, i :? "i / ' ... OSTEND. a* a place for tempor ary occupancy, la the best place tbe Germans have cap tured, wrltea E. N. Vallandlg ham In the Philadelphia Rec ord, for tta accommodations for tran sients are, or were, out of all propor tion to Its site and normal population. If there Is ever a time when Ostend has no visitors Its population then numbers something under &0.000. Dur ing the long season of Its summer and autumn vogue, which extends from the first of June nearly to the end of October, there are far more transient than permanent Inhabitants. It la a favorite place for Londoners on vaca tion, but Ostend also shelters conti nentals of all ranks. The place la by no means what the. awed admirer 9! his betters calls "ex clusive," yet It Is utterly unlike any American watering place, popular 01 otherwise, and It Is In acute contifflA with that marvelous resort of Dutch Schevenlngen', where the rted thousands of hooded wicker beach chalgs make the foreshore like i a vast, apiary. _ Ostend lies In West Flanders, 14 miles from that medieval sleeping beauty, Bruges, the most 'remarkable survival of older western Europe. A steam railway, a trolley line and a canal connect Bruges with Ostend. To go by canal In one of those slow little power-driven craft that traverse the Belgian Interior waterways Is to enjoy a charming experience, for the land Is rich In varied Interest, now occupied by market gardens, now by the villas THE PROMENADE OTJDSTEND of well-to-do Flemings set amid a riot of bloom and amply shaded with trees and shrubbery. Backward the eye takes In the stately towers and spires of antique Bruges silhouetted In soft, air-drawn lines agatfikt-the tender sky of Flanders. Old and New Ostend. There is old Ostend and new, the old with beautiful churches, quaint winding streets, surviving bits as pic turesque as parts <ft Bruges Itself. An ample railway station, and many wide and comparatively new streets give even the older part of Ostend a mod ern touch, and the shore seems wholly modern. Glittering new villas, big and little, salute the eye before one reaches the Ostend of the Londoner's delight, of the cosmopolitan throng, of gay ety, naughtiness and wild extrava gance. Take some great American sea side resort, transform Its huge wooden hotels Into sturdy permanent struc tures of brick and stone.

Thou sands walk or sit on the upper leVel to watch the sea and the bather*. You pay a penny for a chair, whence the North sea glooms beneath your eyes toward England. On the Bathing Beach. Ostend has a summer repute tor gayety, and daring display at the bath ing beach. As a matter of tact, the costumes would hardly shock ona hardened to the things that a com plaisant police tolerate at a hundred American seaside resorts. The squeam ish dress with care In the odd Uttle houses on wheels with gay curtains Jealously drawn as the lady tully clad steps in. After sufficient time tor change of costume has been allotted, the fat Flemish horse, under the guid ance of a fat Flemish female compan ion of the bath, draws the bathing machine Into the water, and tn due season the fair bather steps Into the embrace of the North sea without scandal. When her bath Is finished - the but on wheels again receives her, ?ji|e fat laboriously draws her to the (fliesnds, the lady dresses ?r leisure and emerges In street cos tume. Nothing could be more seemly, modest or droll. Elsewhere along the beach one catches sight of sirens In scant, close-cllnglng, gaudy costumes that reveal every Itne of the figure as they disport themselves along with their male escorts, but even for these freer ladles the discreet bathing ma chine awaits, and the curious pry In vain at Its uncommunicative wooden sides. Huge and luxurious hotels, rich wine cellars and a truly magnificent gambling house, the Kursaal, are at the service of the invading Germans. When Oetend li In its normal summer ? and autumn condition the Kursaal la the aeat of all Ita gayety. Hare are a gorgeous assembly room of huge else, a theater with large seating capacity, ptirate dining rooms, private play rooms, broad awninged piazzas for dining with the sea beneath one's eyes, ail the solid and liquid luxuries that folk with money jo spend enjoj^ Besieged Many Times. Ostend has stood many a siege, the most notable that of a little more than three centuries ago, when the place yielded to the Spaniards after a resistance of three years. The city has a fine harbor with several basins and a narrow entrance artificially created. Its normal traffic with Lon don Is Immense, but for the time be ing the Intimate relations of the two y cities are suspended, doubtless to the ' relief of the great seaport. Nearly two centuries ago'the Ostend' East India company was organized by the Emperor Charles VI, of Germany, who as ruler of Austria also ruled the Spanish Netherlands. This company was intended tp Becure for Ostend a share In the East Indian traderhhd to make the city a great commercial port England and Holland, however, jealous of their oriental trade, made protest, and In 1731 the emperor, after having suspended the operations of his oompapv for seven years, definitely abandoned his scheme. Since that time Ostend has been mostly one of Europe's play places. <? Perpetual Rechrietenlng. Petrograd will have to change lta name eereral more times to equal the record ot Constantinople. The Otto man capital was known as Lygos un til B. C. 658. when It blossomed forth Into Byzantium and bore that name for close on eight hundred years. By zantium, like Rome, was built on seven hills, and this resemblance led Septimus Severus to rechrieten It Nova Rotna. On making the city the Capital of the Roman empire Constan tlne the Oredt bestowed bis own name upon it, and ever since It has been knowq as Constantinople In the west ern world. This name, however. Is Ignored by orientals, who have called It Istambul and Stambul since Its cap t?-e by the Turks In 1453. ? - ? Special Constables in London. The commissioner of police for the city of London has asked large busi ness drms to enroll members of their staffs as special constables, says s London Weekly. Such constables are Intended primarily for the d?fi ns'e of the buildings lb which they are em , i rr ployed, though It might be their duty to assist the authorities In the case of disturbances In their Immediate neighborhood. Their duties will be narrower than those of ordinary spe cial constables. They will be called on for service In the event of the ^regular police being withdrawn to oth-. Or parts of the country. All banks. ^ food depots, newspaper offices and other buildings likely to he the scene of disturbances are asked to assist the police In this precaution. As far as possible those enrolled will be over the age for military service, so as not to interfere With recruiting for the new army. Suitable Treatment.
