OUR WASHINGTON
<From our Special Correspondent,
Frank Fuller.)
This haB been a busy week in the
-national capital and yet but little
has been done in the way of public
business. It has become a settled
apollcy of Congress to do nothing un
rtll after the holidays, as bo many
members go home at that season.
The President's message was about
as expected, and therefore caused
but little comment.
Upon the invitation of Secretary
Wilson the eleven beet growers of
corn in the country, chosen from 11
different Southern States, will be
bis guests in Wa shington next week.
These leaders-oC the nation's farm
ers are mere boys, tne winners in a
corn growing contest which has been
going on in almost every Southern
State since last spring. The eleven
lads won out in competition with no
.less than 46,255 otnerB. Each of
these boys last summer raised an
acre of com, this was sent to the
county fairs and the prize winners
sent to the state fairs in the eleven
- spates, and the winners in the state
contests have been picked and will
come to Washington as Secretary
Wilson's guests for a week, and they
will have the time cf their lives.
?.These boys range in age from 10 to
16 years of a?e, and will come from
'Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Tennes
see, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama,
'Georgia, South Carolina and North
-^Carolina and Virginia. The contest
?was instituted by the Agricultural
Department in a campaign to in
crease the corn crop of the South
and" this year this section contribu
ted nearly one-third of the nation's
? corn crop. One of those boys raised
228 busbels per acre, while most of
the prize winners run over 200 bush
? els. where the average yield has been
about 25 bushels per acre. The
names of these boys will be given
next' week.
The War Department records show
that of the 4,3 !i0 commissioned offi
cers on the active list of the regular
army only seven served during the
-Civil War, otherwise than as cadets,
these are Genln. Earl D. Thomas,
<3has. L. Hodges, Danl. H. Brush,
Geo. R. Davis, Col. Jno. L. Clem,
Jas. N. Allison and Maj. Danl. B.
Arnold. There were 1,022 officers
on the retired list Oct. 15, 1910. Or
these 528 served in the army, otber
' -wise than as cadets, prior to April
9,'1865. In this list' are five lieu
tenant generals, twenty-four major
generals and 229 brigadier generals.
. A poll has been taken of the Dem
ocratic Congressmen elect and it dis
closes that Champ Clark has a suf
ficient number of votes to elect him
Speaker on the first ballot, and now
that this is settled the next impor
tant ouestlon will be who are to have
the House offices. The "lame duck"
brigade of Democrats Is not large,
therefore there are but few to be
taken care of or to ask favors or
?sympathy. Mr. Livingston of Geor
gia, fell by thii wayside because of
too much Cannonism, and now asks
' his former colleagues to keep him
here for the ne:<t two years as door
keeper or clerk, and he Is likely to
fee thus favored, as he seems to be
Eiore popular h?re than in his home
district, where he failed of nomina
tion.

OXCKPEON. NOW MILLIONAIRES.
Mine Discovered by Mexican Netted
Him Sl??.uuo.ootf In Six Years.
The famous Paimlllo mine near
Parral. State jot Cblhuahua. Mexico,
*bich produced for its owner Pedro
Aivarado. S150.ouo.0o0 in six years,
has passed 'nto the bands of Ameri
cans. .
Up to the time the American min
ing engineers were admitted to tbe
PalmUlo mine it was a complete mys
tery tc mining men. Aivarado
would never permit any one except
his Mexican laborers to go into it un
til he reached a decision to lease iL
j It Is-the opinion of mining ex
pert.? here that Aivarado will obtain
greater profits from the wonderful
mine by leasing it than he did while
operating It himself It Is said he
paid, no attention to the science of
mining in taking out the ore, and
that vast bodies of ore of great rich
ness are still untouched.
Under his methods It cost ?18 per
ton- to mine, transport and treat the
oresi. It Is shown by recent test*
.that this cost can be cut down almost
one-half, and that the ore la ideal foi
cyanide treatment.
The lessees are Installing the most
modern machinery, and the mine is
to be equipped so as to increase its
production to the fullest limit.
Under the terms of the lease Aiva
rado is to received 45 per cent of the
net profits of the mine. He also re
ceived a cash payment of $100,000
when the lease, went into effect.
Aivarado. who only a few years
ago, was a peon wt > king in the mines
for thlrty-flve cents a day. Is prepar
ing to enjoy his millions.of dollars
of wealth which the Palualllo brought
him. He has planned to do a great
deal of charitable work, such as pro
viding homes for tbe poor, building
and endowing schools, and erecting
cburcb edifices. He has contributed
hundredn of thousands of dollars to
the poor people of Parral during the
last few years. He erected u Cath
olic church here at a cost of $200.
000. He will soon visit the City of
Mexico, for the purpose of investi
gating the condition of the poorer
classes there.
He contemplates establishing a
great industrial scbool in that city,
where tbe children of the poor will
be taught trades of various kinds
and trained in industries and given
knowledge of a practical kind.
The marble place which Aivarado
elected here a Tew years ago In 6ald
to have cost $2.000,000. it is lo
cated on the bank of the Parral riv
er, and beyond tht wealth of carv
ing which the exterior stones bear
does not have a gaudy appearance
from tbe outside.
The wide stairway which leads to
the upper floor is of onyx; gold and
silver ornaments are to be seen od
every hand. A large room of tbe
palace is fitted up as a chapel and thn
altar is of solid gold. In every room
It a piano, and in cages ranged along
the balls are hundreds of canan
i/lrds.
Tbe story 1b told that Aivarado
keeps many, millions of dollars of his
wealth in cash stored in a big steel
vault or cage In the basement of nis
residence. It is known he never
comes into Parral without bringing
* lurge sum of money #hicb he dis
tributes among the needy poor peo
ple.
He is only thirty-eight years old.
It Is Iiis ambition to visit the United
States and Europe, and now that be
ta? the active management of the
famous .?almillo mines off bis bands, '
it Is probable that he will soon car
ry out his desire for extensive travel. I

PZRFU.V.CS POPULAR.
in the midst of so mnny present day
..??shioas copied from those of a huu
Ircd years ago it is scarcely surprising
that the habit of using szent in pio
fuilon should be numbered.
How they saturated themselves wi:h
rweet waters in those old.- old days!
we read of a very or^y of perfume in
the time of Cartherine de Medici, and
learn that the men then were &b prone
to its use in profusion as were vhe
women.
One great king perfumed himself
with amber from head to foot, aud
?.?very article of attire was scented.
The great Napoleon used floods; of
eau de cologne every morning, and the
Empress Josephine filled her dressing
room with musk in all Eorts of forms.
Today It fs the scent fountain and
the vaporizer that are in great re
quest. With the vaporizer the lady's
I maid scents her mistress before s?e
leaves her room in the morning and
after she has taken the perfumed bath.
The excessive use of sachets at
tached to the costume is becoming
less modish than it was; there must
oaly be an atmosphere, a mere sug
gestion of scent, Instead of a definite
aroma about clothes. In order to per
fume them the wardrobe has its long
Sat sachet of scented powder to fit
each Ehelf.
When the boots and shoes are put
away little sachets are introduced in
to them; the lace and ribhon drawer
has its snchets also, and the only ones
that need be worn by day are those
sewn into the corset and into the
dainty cap of muslin and lace in which
the belle takes her early cup of tea or
her basin of bread and milk the last
thing at night
When the hair is washed1 -It is pleas
ant to use a Bcent that shall help to
perfume the tresses, "a permiwiable
way of perfuming the person allowed
under the regime of modern taste.
The hairdressers of Paris are now
using eucalyptvp leaves steeped 5n
boiling water for the shampoo used
for their customers' uair, and dud that
it makes. the hair glossy as we.U as
fragrant.
Eveij day seems to introdu.? new
and coquettish developments of the
scent craze. A famou.-. perfumer of
lingerie tempts her customers with
handkerchiefs;, motor veils, shoulder
scurfs and lingerie threaied with rib
boas the color of the scent thai Is her
customer's choice.
Supposing the favorite violet per*
fum? be associated with the elegante,
her lingerie is threaded v.-iih violet
ribbons, and she wears violet hand*
kerchief, violet motor scarfs and
other violet <al-lals.
If rose is prefen ed, it is a rose pow
der that is supplied, and to carry the
I idea to its utmost limit all the deco
rations of the belle's dressing room
will be in shades of pink, viiiie: the
pretty little lace boxes, gem cabinets
ar:d all her toilet table fittings repeat
her choice in brocade, crystal and
china.
Eer writing table is of course sup
plied with perfumed leather, and Ene
scents her stationary in order that it
may be Impressed with her personality
as made manifest by her usexOf one
particular perfume. It Is a charming
idea in daintiness.?London Daily

Bride Attendants.
Bride attendants should be dressed
in harmony with the bridal frock, yet
nothing more elaborate or expensive
All gov/m; should form a setting foi
? he one gown of importance. Once
:n a while we hear of a color scheme,
tiut usually the bride prefers a white
A.-dding, for which reason all attend
ants of her party are gowned in white.
There are tpleadid white batistes, em
broidered batlsteB, nets and countless
sheer materials for the purpose. At
present the plain i.ock, with shoulder
?..j:3, overtkirt and fancy yoke and
:.':ng eleeve eliect is considered a be
?omlr.g style. The wearing of hats is
optional: A bride should always wear
;.;!ovct;; so should her attendants; and
'his may .occur when there la a home
fi'ecdlhg without hats being worn,
rha attendants may wear hats if they
choose, but not unless the bride is
veiled. There are a few persons who
nlT.ays use individual taste in such
matters, regardless of any decree of
faelton. If the wedding frock for:
ihe home wedding is not yet made,
save either a jacket suit or a oue
'dece sheer gown, and attendants j
bronld be gowned accordingly. Da not j
wear a dress skirt and fancy blouse j
of similar material, even though both
are strikingly beautiful, for this Is a
ne-piece dress year and the blouse ifc
intended more for afternoon weai
vrith fancy jacket suit
Apricct Candy Sandwiches.
Stew a half pound o!! apricots and
use the juice for making candy. To
two cups of juice add two cups of
s-.jgar and boil until it makes a soft
candy. When pound into a buttered
dish, sprinkle a pinch of cream of
lartar over the taffy and beat until
it forms a li?bt fondant In the
meantime, crush the cooked fruit,
mix it with pulverized sti^ar and
ground nuts. Spread this over the
candy and cut into pieces one inch
wide ar.d six inches long Fold each
hi rip from end to end, making the
sardwich. If the candy hardens too
quickly to du this, then lay pieces
together. This makes a very delicate
apricot candy.

Prevent and
Relieve Headache
"It gives me great pleasure to
t>e able to refer to Dr. Miles'
Aftti-Pain Pills as the best rem
edy we have yet had in our
house for the prevention and
cure of headache. My wife who
has been a constant sufferer for
a number of years with above
complaint joins me in the hope
that they may fall into the hands
of all sufferers."

Used Them Four Years.
"Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills
are the best I ever tried for the
relief of headache. I have used
them for nearly four years and
they never fail to give me relief.
I have tried many other rem
edies, but have never found any
better."
JOSEPH FRANKOWICK,
854 Trombly Av., Detroit, Mich.
There is no remedy that will
more quickly relieve any form
of headache than
Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills.
The best feature of this re

it does not derange the stomach

effects.
Druggists everywhere sell them. If
