Arrive as Strangers in National Capital One of the outstanding features of Washington’s difference from other capitals of great countries Is that it is not—as are London, Paris and Berlin — the most Important of our cities, nor Indeed a city at all tn that sense, writes Maude Parker Child In the Sat­ urday Evening Post. Therefore most of the appointees who come to our capital come as st rar» gers. In other countries the chances are that a man chosen ss a cabinet member will be known In his own cap­ ital and will have a wide acquaint­ ance there. His social status will have been established long before he be- ceiM part of th« government Ln the United States, however, a new official may come from a town as remote geographically from Washing­ ton ss Constantinople is from Dublin. Tils wife and children may have never even seen the city of their new resi­ dence until they go there to live It is possible that they may not have one friend who is a resident This applies equally to the under­ secretaries and to the innumerable men of the State department but it is I usually more acute in the cases of sen a tors and congressmen. Sumthin’ Mistin' Aw, shucks, I ain't so crazy tout my father's new machine. There’s each a thing as havin' things too fine. He went and bought the bunch of us a classy limousine. The best that he could buy—but not for mine. Ya know how people feel about a thing that’s spankin' new. They're alius 'frald of mars and scars and »uch. And every time I’m in it pop'll watch each thing I do. That’s why I can’t enthuse about it much. The seats 'er all upholstered with a cloth of silver gray, an’ all the wood and metal’s shiny bright But that don't mean a thing ta me. I just found ont today they wouldn’t let my I dog in. That ain’t right. Aw, what’s the fun of rtdln'. when J leave my purp behind? I hate to see him whine an' fume an’ fuss. I don't see why my father didn’t wait and try to find a plain old common second-hand bus.—Detroit News. An Ancient Chinese Code Tn China, where a vast system of waterways serve to connect different sections of the country, in ancient times it was the custom to send sig­ nal a along the water by holding a huge metal gong close to the surface and pounding out code messages. These gongs were known by different names and were used in war to sum­ mon troops or tell of enemy move­ ments. There are but four or five ot- those ancient primitive telegraph in­ struments now in existence, according to the information I have. One such song was sold some few years ago by a collector of Chinese antiques living In Chicago to a wealthy collector In London.—Mr. Woodward in Adventure Magazine.

Wheat, oats and similar grain have been found to ripen satisfactorily in that part of Canada north of the fifty- third parallel. Four varieties of wheat have been tried, some ripening In nine­ ty-eight days. The yields varied twenty-three to forty bushels, depend­ ing on the variety, and from fifty-four to seventy-three bushels of oata to the acre were obtained, depending also on the variety planted.
