INTERESTING POINTS AROUND OUR CAPITOL Our Readers Left Mr Hoover Outside the Bureau of Print ing where our Stamps, Records Etc are Produced, BY THOS. J. HOOVER. CONCLUDED FKOM LAST WEEK. Across a park from the "Bureau" stands the tall imposing .shaft known as the "Washinton Monu ment," erected to the memory of the man who was "first in war, hrst in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen." How fitting that it should be of shining white, typical of the purity of the man! As a recent book expresses it "it stands there like s gauge, to measure the character of the greatest man that ever lived. The monument is nve hundred and fifty-five (555) feet high, and five hundred (500) feet may be ascended by means or an electric elevator, or climbing the nine hundred (900) Bteps. bony states and sixteen cities are repre sented by memorial stones on the different landings. Many curious stones are to be found, also, such as from Napoleon's Tomb at St Helena, the ruins of Carthage, the Parthenon in Greece, etc. It is difficult to imagine a more pleasing view, than that from the top of the mountain on a clear day. Washington lies nil about our feet, with the historic Potomac stretching its winding course to the bay. Ihe Virginia mils along the sky line, the beauti 'ful white Capitol, and Congression al Library, showing a bed of green foliaere. in the distance all is a scene of beauty. The Capitol is reached by a pleas ant car ride from the center of the city, and is very imposing with the great white dome surmounted by a heroic-sized figure of a woman representing "Armed Liberty." It is divided Into three sections known as the House Wing, the Su preme Court Chamber and Statuary Hall in the Center, and the Senate Wing on the opposite end. The in terior is full of interest in the way of paintings, beautiful marble hang ing staircases, statuary, and the actual Chambers of Congress. A climb may be made to the top of the dome but it is a very tiresome one, still many avail themselves of the opportunity. Across the Capi tol grounds one reaches the mag nificent new Congressional Library, a building so beautiful that I am actually at a loss for words to de scribe it. This building is sur mounted by a gold dome, visible for miles, with the torch of Knowledge resting on its center. The interior is of the finest marble and mosinc work, and the entrance hall, or vestibule, is imposingly grand. Soatterd through the upper galleries are many collections of old prints, books, manuscripts, etc, all so in teresting that the time fairly runs away.- The public reading room is on "the main floor under the great dome; the reading rooms for the House and Senate members in the right wing, and paivate. There is a reading room for the blind, also, and many an hour has been relieved of its loneliness, for those who can get here and who are compelled to make their fingers act as eyes for them. The Navy Yard, the great market House, with its curb-stone market attached, the trip down to Mt Ve nor, the home of Washington, Ar lington, the resting place of the Nation's soldier dead, are one and all interesting places to visit. But my time was growing Bhort now, and one morning I said "good bye" and was soon flying southward, arriving, in due time, at home. After all, "there is no place like home" and 1 was glad to get back to old scenes and friends once more. But I can never regret my trip. I shall always have the memory of it with me, for, of course, there were hundreds of little incidents that en livened it that I couldn't meution in these sketchy letters. Travel broadens a man. He can learn more in one days journey than books would bring to him in six months. Every section of the country has its peculiar manners and customs, its local pride and prejudices, and one can only lern them by travel and actual contact with our fellow men. The sectional feelings are easier to understand when we go to other places and feel the environment. Therefore, the man who is able to Bee his own country should do so, and, if he can afford it, let him go to other countries. He will come home a better citizen, and with a keen sense of appreciation for all his benefits. "The End." HI Cholct of Weapon. ' Shortly after the civil war Sena tor Vance was lecturing in Boston. "Fellow citizens," he began, "you I are my fellow citizens. We all be long to this great country. We of the South wanted to leave you but yon would not let us go, and now we are with you to stay. I belong to you. You belong to me." A Voice in the rear f the hall crifd: : ; 'Aren't you the man who said one Southerner could whip ten Yan kees witk a cornstalk?" Instantly Vance replied: "Yes, mv friend. I am the mm. I said that one Southerner could whip ten Yankees with a cornstalk. I be lieved it then and I believe it now The trouble is the Yankees did not want be whipped that way. Ex BEST DAIRY STATE. U S Department of Agriculture Will Develop tho Industry In North Carolina. But few North Carolinians are awae of the fact that the division of animal industry, of the United (States Department of Agriculture, has singled out North Carolina as being one of the best adapted and most promising states in the Union for dairying so much so that the department has already made pro vision for the expenditure of sums of money in its development. All tne plans nave not jet been an nounced, but will be at an early date. This means much to the State. That the choice of the department is a wise one no one will doubt. At no point in the country will there be found a more salubrious climate, more fertile soil, purer water, and more luxuriant vegetation, all of which are essential to the proper development of this great industry. Charlotte Observer. Fifty Years of Farm Progress. The farm gardens, "market gar dens" and "truck gardens" of to-day are the producers of a multitude of "miscellaneous vegetables almost unknown fifty years ago. In the census of 1890 the large increase in garden products was recognized, and a systematic count ef their bulk and value was made. It possible, therefore, to make a ten-year com parison of the increase of such products, and this records the re markable increases of from 100 per cent. 40 per cent, in the five several divisions cf the country. The North Atlantic States had a well developed industry in "garden products" before 1890, which ac- qounts for the relatively low in crease. However, 190 per cent, in tfen years, while the population in creased only a trifle over 20 per cent, ii amazing. Could our great-granddaddies, wbo thought tomatoes poisonous, and our great-grandmothers, who griw them as ornamental plants in wipuow pois unuer ine attractive naine of "love apples," come back and realize that over 30,000,000 bushels of the pretty poisonous vegetables are eaten as a common and healthful food, they would sure ly realize that time works wonder ful changes. Another interesting statement is that the lettuce crop of the South has so increased that in the spring of this year North Caro lina sent twenty carlords of that vegetable North in a single day. lhirty-hve years ago celery was a rarity, even on hotel tables, and was used by tew families, even of wealth. To-day it is a common edible, occupying thousands of acres in Michigan, Ohio and New York. One firm has celeiy farms in Michi- gon, Honda and California, and be cause of the variety of seasons it is engaged in shipping celery by the carload the whole year round. Twenty-two million bunches of radishes and 12,000,000 bunches of asparagus are the figures of the crops of these vegetables. Harper's Weekly. Education and Salaries. Those who think that education dos not pay should read the follow ing from an article by Superinten dent Adams, of Fayette College: "ihe average educated man gets a salary of $1,000 per year. He works forty years, making a total of $10,000 in a life time. The average day laborer gets $1.50 per day, 300 days in the year or $450 in a year. In forty year he earns ifclp.OOO. The difference, or $22,000. equals value of an education. To acquire this earnining capacity requires 12 years at school of 180 days each, or 2,160 days. Divide $22,000, the value of an education, by 2,100, the number of days required in gettirg it, we find that ich day at school is worth a little more than $10 to a pupil." No boy or girl can afford to miss school while the opportunity is offer ed, but to those who failed to ac quit e an education in childhood days there are to-day many avenues open for self -improvement.

I've known Borne mean men in my time For instance one who tried To skin 8 flea localise he heard Some one would buy the hide Another gave his son a dime To skip each evening meal, And when the boy had gone to bed The dime would ulyly steal. And once I knew a man who dined Each day down town in state, And then at eve go home and kick On what his family ate. Another stopped the clock at night To Rave wear on the wheels; And one would walk upon tiptoes To save wear on the heels. The world is full of men so mean That they would rather see A lot of children shedding tears Than see them laugh with glee. Some men but cumber up the earth And fill life full of woe; But think they are engaged in good When they are acting so. But of mean men defend me from The sordid selfish one Who would deprive the little folks, Of all theii Christmas fun. The very eanest of them all The meanest ever was Are those who are so mean they say There is no Santa Claus. Of course there is a Santa Claus! We've seen him lots of times, The jolly fellow comes each year And down the chimney climbs. We've seen his reindeers prance and run; We've heard his sleighbells chime. No Santa Claus! Just wait and see He'll be here Christmas time. What's in February McClure's. True stories of important movements and of cood healthy conduit are the dominant traits the peep behind the curtains afforded by the sessions of the Interstate Commerce (Wiuisson, and of the legislative insurance investigation, and by the upheavals of latt Fall's political campaign, there are disclo sures in this numVr concerning railroad abuses, life insurance juggling; and political trickery which will take hold of everv citizen. There is tho vane of Everett Col by, "'The Gentleman from Essex" told by Lincoln StelTens, which is full of the sturdy efforts of honestv and vouth. It shows how a young man, with aggressiveness and a con science can leat the machine to a stanstill and wins for himself more than the machine dared giv him because he was honest Rav Stannard Baker, continuing his series' "The Railroads on Trial," tells the astonish. ino storv of how Armour, through his pri vate car line, monopolized the fruit trans portation business of America, practically told the railroads that they might as well burn their own refrigerator-cars, and turn ing to the shipper reaped a golden harvest by daring and open methods. Then he writes of the revolt of honent shippers against Armour. An editoral under the title "Manu facturing Public Opinion," lets in a little light on the shadows of the publicity mak ing methods winch have guilaefl tne rotten structures of the life insurance compauies, and of the get-riuh-vuiuk-and-get-rich at-any cost corporations. Perfection can only be attained in the physical by allowing Nature to appropriate and not dissipate her own resources.
