WASHINGTON LETTER. Providence Wants a Cruiser—He Couldn't Sow Onions Very Well—Speaks Reed and the Barber. [Special Correspondence.] Providence wants to be honored with naming one of the new cruisers. A written request to this effect was forwarded to the navy department by Representative Bull, who pointed out that Providence is the only great commercial city on the Atlantic coast that has not yet been honored by the naming of a United States cruiser. Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Charleston, Atlanta and Montgomery are all represented in the new navy. Mr. Bull also took occasion to mention that the Providence would be not only a euphonious name for a cruiser, but also a very appropriate one for the defender of a Christian nation. He closed his request to the navy department with reference to the historical fact that the first naval expedition ever fitted out in this country was fitted out at Providence, now the second city in size in New England, and that it was crowned with signal success in the capture of the British sloop Gaspee on the Providence river. He Couldn't Sow Onions. The strange adventures of seed packages are beginning to be heard from now that congressional distribution is under way. People in Washington now and then forget that in some parts of New England in March there are six or seven feet of snow. This accounts for the return of a package of onion seed with the following letter, the name of the representative being omitted for obvious reasons: DEAR JOB—For you are certainly dear to all of J—a (referring to the town where the representative resides) sons, and I am one of them; to most of the daughters, too, I guess. Inclosed I send a package of onion seeds which was sent me by the agricultural departments and marked "Sow in January, February or March." Yours truly. GEORGE T. J. P. S.-Six feet of snow on the ground at the present time. Speaker Reed's Hair. The Hon. T.

Insorbitability gleamed steadily from his penetrating little eyes. He seemed to rock not that the burly, selfish world HER LETTER. Her letter came today—A tiny, crisscross thing, And full of saucy quips and cranks, And girlish grace and aloe. She told of the last new play, Of the songs she'd learned to sing, Of how she'd 'declined with thanks' A "lord of high degree." She sent a sample of her gown, "A marvel in garret and brown." She wrote of talks And moonlight walks Beside some azure water; Of dances "some one" taught her. And so the pages, interlined, Run on—and then in haste she signed, "Most truly yours—your daughter." But in a corner she had writ. "I love you, mother, every bit—I love, and love and love you!" —Julia Neely Finch in Times-Democrat. Society Editors Instruct Yonths as to Their Uses. The society editor was humming a line that ran something like this: "Oh, the queer things we do and the queer things we say." What are some of them?" demanded the man who does a little of everything. Well," replied the society editor. "today a young man came in to get a society item in the paper. It was about a theater party or something of that sort, and he had it all nicely written out, and down at the bottom of the page was the statement that the party would be chaperoned by Miss Blank." Well?" said the man who does a little of everything, but who is neverthe less not posted on society matters. Well," explained the society editor, "of course there is no law, written or unwritten, that says a party of young people may not be chaperoned by an unmarried woman, although it is not usual, for she is supposed under such circumstances to be of mature age and considerable experience. "This Miss Blank is not a young lady,' I suggested, and he was angry in a minute. "Who says she isn't?' he demanded. Then he added, 'I happen to know that she is just 19 years old.' "She can't very well chaperon the party, then,' I said. "Who says she can't?' he demanded again. 'She's just as good as any of the swells on the Lake Shore drive, and don't you forget it.' "I explained to him very carefully that a chaperon should be a matron or a woman of mature years, and he quieted down." Well," he said, 'of course we've got to have a chaperon so's to be in style. A SCENE IN SALONIC The Jews and Jewesses that Introduce Heart of the Town. In the true ghetto, is the heart of the town, where the streets run slimy and the people with the butchers for the refuse slaughter house and unicken blood see the unchanged lives of the ages.

This is as it is in East Way and Chicago and Berlin, but you look upon the wires and dawn in Salonic's ghetto run we see characters who have gained in but sent no represeratives abroad. These Jewesses love display and admiration. They see much fairness to men, milky skinned, with pink flush, as if they were hirsute.

Reed, speaker, reclined in a hotel barber shop chair the other afternoon looking like an aproned Buddha far plunged in contemplation of the limitations of the infinite. In scrutability gleamed steadily from his penetrating little eyes. He seemed to reek not that the burly, selfish world was a move. He gazed with a continuously focused gaze upon the knob of the barber shop door—whether attempting to hypnotize himself or to hypnotize the knob who knows?—and he spake no word to the grinning black barber with teeth like peeled almonds who swept the scissors with zephyr touch through the colorless wisp of hair that faintly fringes after part of the great man's skull. The disinclination of the Hon. T. Reed to be discursive was not according to the barber's ideas of things. He attempted to draw the great man out, perhaps in order to be neqnatha a legacy of epigrams to posterity. The great man only grunted monosyllabic replies and resumed his reverie. Then the barber decided to switch the conversation to the subject of Mr. Reed's hirsute peculiarities. Thinning Out a Heap. "Yo' hailuh's sut'nly thinmin out a heap, suh," said he. "Um-m," said Mr. Reed. "Teenchy bit o' tonio do it whole lot o' good, suh." "Um-m, no." "Bin bald on de top o' yo' head long, suh?" Mr. Reed did not remove his gaze from the door knob as he drewled: "I came into the world that way. Then I had an interval of comparative hirsute luxuriance, but it was not enduring. I have long since emerged from the grief of the deprivation. It no longer afflicts me. Do not permit it to weigh upon you." The black barber studied over this for awhile, apparently fully apprehending its meaning, however. "Yo' hailuh'd look some bettub, suh, ef yo' kep' it long in de back laike," he said after a few moments of silence. The Hon. T. Reed removed his gaze from the door knob, fastened it upon the ceiling, cleared his throat and spoke again: "Let me assure you, my tonsorial friend," said he, "that the appearance of my hair, as I have been accustomed to wearing it, is eminently satisfactory to myself, and perhaps I might also say to my constituents." Old and Inseparable Friends. "What little hair still adorns my head I have possessed for a long time. I know it well. I have been on familial terms with it for many years.

Then he added, 'I happen to know that she is just 19 years old.' "She can't very well chaperon the party, then,' I said. "Who says she can't? he demanded again. She's just as good as any of the swells on the Lake Shore drive, and don't you forget it." "I explained to him very carefully that a chaperon should be a matron or a woman of mature years, and he quieted down." "Well,' he said, 'of course we've got to have a chaperon so's to be in style. The girls are all set on doing the thing right and proper, and we boys have undertaken to see it through. Maybe Miss Jones would do for a chaperon. She's 22 years old." "Hardly," I replied. 'If you feel that you must have a chaperon, the thing for you to do is to invite some matron to accompany you.' "Well, I guess not,' he answered, with emphasis. 'Why, that would spoil half the fun, and besides we'd have to put up for her ticket. If one of the girls can't be the chaperon, you can just cross that part of it out.'" Then the society editor again began to hum: "Oh, the queer things we say and the queer things we do."—Chicago Post. The Elephant Corps. An English newspaper, in an article on the Siamese army, says: "In one respect the Siamese army is superior to every other, and that is in its elephant corps.

The hair indulges me by permitting me to wear it after my own conception of the way it ought to be worn, and I indulge the hair by firmly declining to have it trifled with by gentlemen of the scissors who possess artistic ideas more bizarre than my own. I fear I'll have to ask you to indulge us both—the hair and me. Cut it the way I directed you to out it."

The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 4½ miles from the foothills, and 148½ feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for outdoor life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer, or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east. The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, oranges, etc. The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts of land at low figures, and on easy terms, make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds. Anaheim is the possessor of a Building and Loan Association, Water company, two railroads, fruit cannery and drier, large oil industry, ostrich farm, bank, several adequate commercial houses, two hotels and A SCENE ON THE SOO. The King of France Took Possession of the Land Two Hundred Years Ago. In St. Nicholas there is an article on "The Great Lakes" by W. S. Harwood. Mr. Harwood says: While waiting for my steamer to be carried through canal locks of the Soo, I stood one summer day near a hill on which now stands Fort Brady, overlooking the rapids of the Soo as they flow from Lake Superior down into the St. Mary's river and so on to join at last the waters of Huron. On the top of this hill, as nearly as I could decide from the topography of the country, was witnessed two centuries and a quarter ago one of the most remarkable, one of the most significant scenes in the history of the new world. It has been brilliantly described, and I may but mention it. On June 14, 1671, a strange body of men was assembled on this hill. It was composed of four classes—the official representatives of the king of France, the Catholic missionaries, the voyagers and the Indians. Weeks before word had been sent out to the chiefs of 14 of the different tribes of Indians in the region to meet at the Soo) on the date mentioned. An immense cross of wood was made and carried to the top of the hill overlooking the swift flowing rapids. A stout timber with an engraved plate on it was set up near the deep hole in the ground which was to hold the foot of the cross. When all had assembled, St. Lusson, the representative of the king, lifted in one hand a clod of earth and in the other his naked swollen and in the name of his most Christian majesty the king of France took possession of the land, embracing in his assumption "all the region from the north to the south sea and extending to the ocean on the west." The cross was then raised before the motley throng—the representatives of the government in their most gorgeous suits, the priests in their rich vestments, the voyageurs in their hunting garb of skins, the Indians in their most fantastic feathers and paint. As the cross assumed position the priests intoned a stately chant of the seventeenth century. Then the French exclaimed "Vive le rai!" while, as one historian puts it,"the Indians howled in concert." The plate upon the smaller timber bore an engraved inscription denoting the king's possession of the land.

What signifies the loss of Isleace-Lorraine's 1,500,000 souls compared with the loss France suffers every day? In the last five years the German population has increased by 3,000,000 who are every one fully German; France, meanwhile, has increased her people by only 175,000 who are not even of French nationality. The increase of a nation is of the utmost importance to the success of its country. It has meant much in the nineteenth century; it will mean more in the twentieth.

The census bureau has issued a bulletin on agriculture in California which we quote from extensively in another part of this issue. One of the interesting features of the report is the paragraph giving the number of farms and acres of farming lands in the five Southern California counties. The pre-eminence of Orange county is apparent: Counties. No. farms. Acres. Los Angeles .6577 .865,663 Orange .2288 .960,426 Riverside .2884 .960,426 San Bernardino .2550 .219,182 San Diego .2983 .809,419 But it is in the acreage of irrigated lands that Orange county takes easy precedence over the other counties of Southern California: Counties. Acres. Los Angeles .85,644 Orange .41,549 Riverside .32,947 San Bernardino .37,877 San Diego .16,022 The area of Orange county is 780 square miles; that of Los Angeles, 3880; that of Riverside, 7008; that of San Bernardino, 20,055; and that of San Diego, 8400 square miles. Orange county thus contains one-fifth the area of Los Angeles; yet its irrigated lands approach in area to one-half those of its neighbor to the north. Riverside embraces nine times its area, yet it irrigates 9000 more acres, or a fourth more than the belaunded county on the east. San Bernardino is 25 times its size, yet its irrigated acres exceed those of this jumbo county by nearly 4000, approximately ten per cent. San Diego is eleven times its size, yet it irrigates 25,000 acres more than the county on the south—300 per cent is the former's irrigated area as compared with that of the latter—almost the irrigated area of San Diego and Riverside combined. Orange county possesses the finest system of irrigation, the most secure water rights, that exist in Southern California. That is what we have said many a time and oft. These figures prove it. It is the handsomest and most productive county that lies outdoors and is settling up faster than any other in the State. money in their most gorgeous suits, the priests in their rich vestments, the voyagers in their hunting garb of skins, the Indians in their most fantastic feathers and paint.

In Marchesi and Music, the famous singing teacher tells this anecdote to illustrate the nobility of heart of a Russian woman, one of her pupils, and a native of Nijni-Novgorod, where the great fair is held every year. Mile. Nadine Boultitchoff created a great sensation with her beautiful voice and dramatic power, at Moscow. St. Petersburg and Madrid. In the summer of 1880 she sang at Rio Janeiro. Brazil was then the entrepot for the cruel slave trade. At her benefit, Nadine learned that she was to be presented with valuable gifts. She begged that the money instead of being spent on her should be need to buy the liberty of several female slaves. Her deed of charity released seven poor slaves, one of whom had been recently whipped in public by order of her mistress. On the benefit night, after Nadine had sung, the seven negresses went upon the stage to thank the artist for their freedom. The crowded house applauded for several minutes; the national hymn was played; the emperor, Dom Pedro rose, and with him the whole audience, and the songstress knew a moment of thrilling joy such as seldom comes to women. He'd Better Trade Her Off. There is a certain Yorkshire man who has won considerable fame and some wealth as an expert handler of horses. He is also the possessor of a pleasant home, a charming wife and a bright 3-year-old boy. The latter is the delight of his father calling his parents by their first names, and the way in which he utters them is decidedly cunning. One day not long ago his father came home in a hurry and found the luncheon wasn't ready. "What do you think of that my small man?" he cried laughingly as he tossed the 3-year-old in the air. "Here'papa come home in a terrible hurry and no luncheon ready. What ought we to do with such a terrible mamma?" The little fellow's eyes sparkled. "Trade her off; Harry; trade her off!" he shouted. — Pearson's Weekly. Queen Victoria's Marked Poem. Here is a funny story told of a happening at the English court: Sir Theodore Martin had been requested by Victoria to read aloud from "The Ring and Book."

While the officer was taking her to town the lover met her on the road and, having all preparations made, went on her bond and drove with her immediately to the preacher's house, where they were made one.—Exchange. This Terrapin Has a Diamond Back. A "genuine diamond back terrapin," as it is termed, is displayed in the show window of a jeweler on South Gay Street. The terrapin is small in size, but disports on its back 13 large diamonds, valued at $2,500. The largest diamond, a 41 carat stone, is in the center of the back, and from it radiate four rows of diamonds; three diamonds being in each row. A silver bowl in which the terrapin is placed prevents it wandering away. The jeweler says jewels thus set are worn by the women in Paris.—Baltimore Sun. Mrs. Laura S. Webb, Vice-President Woman's Democratic Club of Northern Ohio. "I dreaded the change of life which was fast approaching. I noticed Wine of Cardui, and decided to try a bottle. I experienced some relief the first month, so I kept on taking it for three months and now I menstruate with no pain, and I shall take it off and on now until I have passed the climax." Female weakness, disordered menses, failing of the womb, and ovarian troubles do not wear off. They follow a woman to the change of life. Do not wait but take Wine of Cardui now and avoid the trouble. Wine of Cardui never fails to benefit a suffering woman of any age. Wine of Cardui relieved Mrs. Webb when she was in danger. When you come to the charge of life Mrs. Webb's letter will mean more to you than it does now. But you may now avoid the suffering she endured. Druggists sell $1 bottles of Wine of Cardui. WINE OF CARDUI Queen Victoria's Marked Poem. Here is a funny story told of a happening at the English court: Sir Theodore Martin had been requested by Victoria to read aloud from "The Ring and the Book." Sir Theodore was courtier enough to make a cautious study before hand of the poem, and he placed marginal notes as danger signals against passages of doubtful propriety. The marked copy chanced to come into the hands of a rather thoughtless court lady. "I have so enjoyed this wonderful work," she said to a friend. "and it has been such an advantage to read it after the queen, for she has placed marks against the most beautiful parts, and, oh, what exquisite taste the dear queen has!" she added, pointing the danger signals of Sir Theodor tin.—Quiver.

Worrying the Cow. A rough, quick tempered man should never be tolerated around the cow stable. The cow loves quietude. Any disturbance which excites her lessens if it does not stop the secretion and flow of milk. It is very easy for an employee, by kicking and beating a cow just before or while he is milking, to lessen her milk flow by one-half. This is called "holding up" the milk. It is really a prevention of milk secretion, and the milk thus lost does not come down at any subsequent milking. Shi!" interrupted 76 tone.

BIT OF HUMAN NATURE. A Hasty Conclusion About a Woman That Was Changed Later. Two little girls occupied seats together on an elevated train the other night. Both were scantily dressed, hollow eyed and hungry looking. They were unmistakably of that class known as "cashgirls" employed in the down town department stores, for each addressed the other by a number in lieu of a name. Directly opposite them sat a fashionably dressed woman who was accompanied by a well groomed male accord. Upon their entrance the conversation of the little girls stopped abruptly and there was something pitiful in the earnestness with which both watched every move of the woman so stunningly gowned. Two pairs of abnormally keen though tired eyes thoroughly investigated every bit of finery in her apparel, from the highest plume of her hat to the soft, natty shoes which incased her shapely feet. "Say, 76," whispered the smaller of the two girls, leaning toward her companion, "she's a real lady, she is. You can tell by her make up. Ain't that a beaut of a hat, though? And look at that diamond breastpin! Whew! I'll bet that hat cost all of"— "Shi!" interrupted 76 in an under-tone. "She'll hear you." There was a spell of silence as both girls leaned back with their heads resting against the top of the seat. They were enjoying the dazzling picture before them. After glancing over a section of a newspaper which the man had given her the woman folded it up and handed it back to him. "Did you get the tickets?" she asked. "Yes," was the answer in an indifferent tone. "Let me see them."

There was a spell of silence as both girls leaned back with their heads resting against the top of the seat. They were enjoying the dazzling picture before them. After glancing over a section of a newspaper which the man had given her the woman folded it up and handed it back to him. "Did you get the tickets?" she asked. "Yes," was the answer in an indifferent tone. "Let me see them." He extracted a small envelope from his vest pocket and handed it to her. "By the way," he remarked, "we will have to go tonight. I couldn't get good seats for tomorrow, and rather than miss it I took these." "Tonight?" she repeated in a tone of vexation. "You know well enough that we can't go tonight. We have another engagement" "Which we can conveniently cancel," he interpolated. "Indeed we will not," she retorted, with a determined stamp of her foot. A protracted argument followed which was not too low for the cashgirls to learn the drift. "You can go to Mrs. Brown's alone," finally exclaimed the man, "and I will take your mother to the theater! We can call for you on our way home if you insist on going." "You'll not go to the theater with anybody. You must and will go to Mrs. Brown's with me." Thus asserting herself, she deliberately tore the envelope containing the tickets in minute parts and threw them on the floor. They left the train at the next station, he with a disgusted look on his face and she with head erect and a defiant glare in her bright eyes. Scarcely had the rustle of her garments ceased to be heard when 76 sagey observed: "You're all off, 27. She isn't a real lady. It's only her fine duds what makes you think so. She's only an imitation, and no clerk would take her to a window if she wanted to make a sale."—Boston Herald. It Saved His Leg. P. A.
