OKNBeVSI. FTHtt-
WASHINGTON LETTER
Special Corretpondanc. v
In dPHlanlaar the sculpture of the
Cnltea&tates government buildings for '
the Louisiana, Purchase exposition vio
lent action has purposely been avoided
In order to have It harmonize more
thoroughly with the pure classical
style of the buildings.
The main entrance to the government
building consists of a portico of eight
t
Ionic columns S feet In diameter and
43 feet high, surmounted by an entab
lature and attic. The attic la enriched
by eight colossal female figures 11 feet
high, representing music, painting, j
sculpture, architecture, agriculture,
manufactures, transportation and com
merce, .v . , i
On each side of the central portico
end Just above the top of the attic are
groups of four figures each. A aeated
female figure, 14 feet high, represent
ing America, with a torch in one hand
and an eagle at her feet, Is surrounded
by three young athletes, each 10 feet 0
inches high, typifying the youth and
strength of the republic. Each has a
laurel wreath In his band.
The dome Is surmounted by a quad
riga. A Goddess of Liberty 14 feet high.
bearing a torch In one hand and an
eagle In the other, stands In the tri
umphal chariot, drawn by four colossal
horses. The horses are guided by two
nude male figures, each 12 feet high.
Hew Fo4 Law U All Right.
We are finding that the new law
under which the. department of agri
culture la authorised to Issue certl fl
ea tea to exporters of food products is
working smoothly," said Dr. Wiley,
chief chemist of the agricultural de
partment "Under the new law when
ever an exporter desires we will make
a chemical analysis to determine the
purity of his product. If after Inspec
tion we find that he proposes to send
abroad something that Is pure and
wholesome a certificate Is Issued to him
addressed to the officials of the country
to which his products are to go.
"This certificate of good character is
helpful to him in many ways and acts
as a letter of Introduction. It is Issued
with the distinct understanding that it
shall in no way be reproduced for ad
vertising purposes. So far our inspec
tions have been confined almost exclu
sively to flour, breakfast foods and
wheat, and It la Indeed gratifying to
be able to say thnt In every Instance i
we have found no obstacle to the Is
suance of the desired certificate."
Not DlnquKllOed by Age.
By the appointment of Joseph
Fought, a civil war veteran, to a posi
tion as laborer in the treasury depart
ment the president has done away
with the age disqualification as ap
plied to veterans of the civil war in the
examinations for laborers before the
civil service commission.
Fought, who la a strong, ablebodled
man, had tried on several occasions to
secure a laborer's position In the de
partment, but bad been disqualified
each time by the lowering of his aver
age In the examination by the rating
for age. His case was taken up by
Judge I. G. Kimball, commander of
the department ot the Potomac, G. A.
B., and after a long fight be Induced the
president to Issue an order to the com
mission doing away with the age limit
disqualification whenever an applicant
was physically qualified to perform
such duties asmight be assigned blm.
He Hn Alirays Been Strenaoax.
The other day three officials ot tho
nary department were discussing the
strenuoslty of President Theodore
Roosevelt. "He has always been stren
uous," one aaid. "He has always been
a doer, impatient of delay, a foe to
dallying. I remember once, when he
was assistant secretary of the navy,
some measure or other was in discus
sion, and he desired to push this meas
ure through, but, aa so often happens,
"there was postponement, there was red
tape.
"He rose suddenly one afternoon
The session he was attending had last
ed an hour, and nothing whatever had
been done. 1
" 'Gentlemen,' he said, 'If God bad re
ferred the ark to a committee on naval
affairs like this, It's my opinion that it
wouldn't have been built yet.' "
Burglar In.uranee Rates Go Cp.
"As the- result of a little demonstra
tion In the office of the secretary of the
treasury a few weeks ago the rates of
burglar insurance, all over the country
are In process of readjustment," de
clared Mr, Albert F. Cochran of Chi
cago. "That demonstration proved how
easily steel plates can be punctured
with a carbon point attached to An ordi
nary electric light gas fixture. In fif
teen minutes n bole large enough for a
man's arm was drilled through -a steel
plate.
"It has attracted . the attention of
makers of safes and steel vaults gener
ally, as well as of firms whose business
It Is to Insure property from the opera
tion of burglars. The rates for such

Signs of Polluted Blood. ;
There is nothing ao repulsive looking and disgusting as an old sore.
You worry over it till the brain grows weary and work with, it until the
patience is exhausted, and the very sight of the old festering, sickly looking
place makes you irritable, despondent and desperate.
A chronic sore is the very best evidence that your blood is in an unhealthy "
and impoverished condition, that your constitution is breaking down under
the effects of some serious disorder. The taking of strong medicines, like
mercury or potash, will sometimes so pollute and vitiate the blood and im
pair the general system that the merest scratch or bruise results ia obstinate
non-healing sores of the most offensive character.
Often an inherited taiat breaks out in frightful eating sores upon the limbs
or face in old age or middle life. Whenever a sore refuses to heal the blood
is always at fault, and, while antiseptic washes, salves, soaps and powders
can do much to keep down the inflammation and cleanse the sore, it will
never heal permanently till the blood itself has been purified and the deadly
germs and poisons destroyed, and with S. S. S. this can be accomplished the
S. S. S. is both a blood purifier and tonic that puts your blood in order
and at the same time tones up the system and builds up the general health.
If you have a chronic sore write us. No charge for medical advice. ,

There was a time once when the
common nettle was not the usually de
spised weed it is now. People did not
root It out of existence or shun it as a
nuisance, but cultivated it for use as
food, for clothing and for paper manu
facture. It certainly does not look Inviting as
, a food, and yet during the Irish famine
hundreds of poor people existed entire
ly on it, cooking the young plant as
greens. There was a method of blanch
ing it by "earthing up," as Is now used
for sea kale. f
Animals, while refusing to touch tho
growing nettle, devour it eagerly whew
made into hay, and in Russia, Sweden
and Holland It Is mowed several time
a year for fodder.
The common name given to the nettle
in some languages means "that with
which one sews," for the fiber was
used as a thread several centuries ago.
In Kamchatka the natives use the
Jhread for fishing lines and cordage. In
France it is used for paper. In Hindu
stan and China it is woven into grass
cloth, and the Scotch have prepared,
spun and woven it into as good linen
as the flax makes.
The Chinese nettle yields a fiber as
soft as silk, and there is now in Dres
den a "China grass" manufactory de
voted to the industry of weaving cloth
from this and the common nettle.
Stray Stories.
Resourceful Major Poad.
..Major Pond was never upset in diffi
culties. Once he was traveling with
Ian Maclaren. There was a break
down on the railway and the prospect
of a lecture engagement being missed
and $l,t JO lost. What he did was to
telegraph a long and merry message to
the audience about the breakdown, say
ing he and Ian Maclaren would be ar
riving Dot more than half an hour late.
Singing was provided to entertain the
audience. When the half hour was up
in came another telegram more cheer
ful than ever, saying that they were
coming along and that Ian Maclaren
was determined to lecture to that au
dience If all the railways In the world
had broken down.
The Americans are an emotional peo
ple, and they were Interested. Every
twenty minutes In carat a fresh tele

half past 10 when the couple reached
the platform, and the welcome given
them was hilarious.
