"I would count In that class a new building for the bureau of engraving and printing, or at least additional space, in order to afford more room and comfort for those who are employed there and are forced to spend a large part of their lives in the building. New City Postoffice. "My idea," continued Mr. Bartlioldt, "would be to have the new city postoffice as close as possible to the station and connected with it by subterranean passageways, so that mail coming in on the trains could be dropped into receptacles provided for that purpose and immediately carried to the postoffice. Under such a system within ten minutes a letter could be on its way to the addressee." An estimate of the approximate cost of the new postoffice building was not ventured by Mr. Bartholdt, but it is understood that those who have had the orolect under consideration estl mate that It would coet upward of $1,000,000. It would conform to the stately architecture of the new Union station and the government structures on the hill. Other Structures Contemplated. Mr. Bartholdt does not stop at the city postofflce and the bureau of engraving and printing in recommending new Improvements for the national capital. He believes the geological survey is exceedingly cramped in its present quarters and that a new building should be erected on the squares bounded by Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets and Pennsylvania avenue and the Mall for the departments of state, Justice and commerce and labor. Dewey Rents Gift House. Admiral Dewey has leased the house at 1747 Rhode Island avenue, which was given to him by the American people as a reward for his victory at Manila bay, to Frank Mitchell of Washington. Mr. Mitchell will occupy the house in October. Admiral and Mrs. Dewey vacated the locrf onHna ond tft A gXJLi. wy* ?np ** WV < ~ ? house owned by Mrs. Dewey at the northwest corner of Sixteenth and K streets. This house was occupied by Mr. Ethan Allen Hitchcock during his service as secretary of the interior. It is larger and better fitted for entertaining than the Rhode Island avenue house. The Most Beautiful City. Wa dngton is the most beautiful city in the United States and is claimed by many authorities to have no peer in the world. Paris has more magnificent vistas, but there are quarters of the French capital with never a claim to beauty. There are more shade trees in Washington than in any other city in the world. It has 92,000 trees, while Paris, the next in the list, has only 85,000. It must be remembered in this connection that Paris has nearly 8,000,000 population, while Washington has but 330,000. 8treets of the Capital.

Many of these were too wide for the demands of traffic, and when the Improvement of the city began in the seventies the thoroughfares were narrowed and the portions next to the buildings were reserved as parking spaces. The pretty strip of green along both sides of Washington thoroughfares is really a part of the street. It is the property of the United States and Is not under ^ * ^ me control 01 tne owuer ui lu*t awaiting property, although he must keep up the lawn. The real estate Is always sold by the square foot instead of by the clumsy front foot method. There Is no law to compel the people to sweep the snow off the sidewalks in winter, because they are the property of Uncle Sam, and a private citizen cannot be compelled to care for government property. Maintenance of the District. More than half of the property in the District of Columbia is owned by the United States, which pays half the total expenses, while the property owners of the District pay the other half. Until 1878 the general government paid nothing at all toward the maintenance of the bistrict Even now the great undertakings for the permanent improvement of the capital, outside of the public buildings, of course, are half paid for by the residents of the District of Columbia, although the whole people are interested in the completion of the plans which will make Washington the envy of the nations. Nbgroes of Washington. More negroes live in Washington than in any other city, 95,000 of the total population of 330,000 being African. Many Washington negroes are among the most advanced of their race, and Washington is the only city where there is a distinct Afro-American society which applies the standards of American morals and manners to its own conduct. While the negroes are represented on the school board, have places of honor and profit under the District government and enjoy equality before the law, the presence of such large numbers of the race is partly responsible for Washington's peculiar government, for not all Washington negroes are of the better class. Many of them are ignorant and shiftless, and the criminal records of the District show this lower class in an unfavorably light CARL SCHOFIELD. \ TEACHERS' EXAMINATION.

Poor little monkeys! They get hungry and tired and sleepy just like children. Here is a story of one that lives in Buffalo. He belonged to an organ grinder who stopped in front of a veranda where a kind hearted gentleman sat. When he came up and held out his little cap for a bit of money the gentleman, who is very fond of animals, gave him a red cheeked apple. The monkey jumped upon his lap and ate the apple, and between the bites he fixed his bright eyes on the face of his new friend. He must have made up his mind that he would trust him, for as he finished the apple he laid his head against the gentlefnan's arm and fell asleep. The kind friend of animals paid the organ grinder to play a long time, so that the tired little monkey could have his nap. When he awoke his master pulled the chain, and he followed the organ grinder, L u?1 ?Vt a nniar fnr tho IHUCil UngUlCi auu uappwi . , kindness shown to him. Pillow Climbing. In the middle of the floor some distance apart place sofa cushions, lamps, bric-a-brac, etc. From among the company chd&se a very smart young man who has never "hoaxed" and ask him to walk over the course between these articles, so as to fix in his mind the situation and distances of the various things. He is then blindfolded and directed to thread his way among them so as not to touch one. Very gingerly he will take his steps and wind about over the floor, and when, triumphant over h's success, the handkerchief is tab-an frnm his OVM hfl if) crpatlv SUr* prised to see that not an article remains on the floor. All were quickly and quietly removed while he was being blindfolded. It is great fun to see him moving cautiously and tacking here and there to avoid Impediments that do not exist Origin of Sunday. Sunday, as the word implies, is Sun day?the day of the sun. Men worshiped the sun for a long time before they began to worship God, and Sunday was the day on which the source of light and heat received their adoration. On this day Christ's resurrection is supposed to have taken place; hence the Sunday became the worship day of the Christians. Riddle*. Why is a tallow chandler always miserable?

Not only was the opening 1 among the brightest in the history * of the school but students have been M continually coming in, every week adding several to the roll, and now | both the boarding halls are nicely* ;3 filled. The authorities wish that it j be stated, however, that there is 1 room for twelve students in the home 1 of the head master. | This increased attendance and jj bright prospects gratify us all and is \ due most largely to the untiring efforts of Head Master Hogan and his assistants during the vacation. | Students are enrolled from the coast counties from Marion to Aiken, *; ? from all the counties around Bam- ;-| berg and from Manning, Lee, Sumter and Richland. Or students from every section of the State south-east of Columbia. . There have been some changes and . additions to the faculty, and yet it is substantially as it was last year. Prof. W. S. Hogan, the efficient and popular head master, will teach - *;3 languages (Latin, Greek, French) again uiio ,yc<u. Prof. J. C. Guilds, first assistant v"~ to the head master, will teach English and History. Capt. P. S. Connor, second assist- ^ ant to the head master and com- 3 mandant,4vill have mathematics and science. Capt. Connor has taken right hold of the military depart- ' ment. The boys are drilling every day and he says they are doing well. ^ Instituting the military feature was * 3 a wise step on the part of the au-, thorities and is proving to be "just the thing'' for the boys. Aside from the discipline and training it is excellent exercise?a veiy essential yet often neglected side of student life, g The uniforms have been ordered and will probably be here in two'more- j weeks. Miss Lena Walser will again have charge of the department of music and elocution. Her assistant is expected in the next few days, and > ' 1 > ! I X ' ' * tms aireaay excellent department will be improved. Besides having a higher class than she has ever had before?the senior class?a very important lower or M primary class has been established. In this class there are five or six young men who haven't had any chance, heretofore, of securing an education and who are now starting I in, practically, at the bottom. Mrs. Hogan has charge of this class.. She * devotes all of her time?during school hours?to it and says there is great improvement already. There \ are many young men to whom this class would mean so much. Mrs. Beach, who has been matron at the boys' hall for five years; is again there and stands without an equal. The boy or young man i^ fortunate indeed who comes under the care of this excellent woman. , The girls will also have their same matron, Mrs. Shuler, who served' them so faithfully last year. Taking everything in consideration we feel safe in saying the Fitting " School is in better condition and in a :J position where she can do more for her students than she has ever been. Let us all put our shoulder to the ; wheel and have in Bamberg not only one of the very best but also one of the largest preparatory schools of the State. Three Crullers for Breakfast and Two for Lunch. ' f[. "Trade ain't no good here. Come - - I on over to the beer s'loon. There's lots over there." said a boy of eleven to a boy of nine on the East iSide, New York, at nine o'clock, one even. 7 . > , ? "f\ mg. "Do they ever offer you anything ; > c' to drink over there?" "Sure," said the boy of nine; "but I never takes it." "Smoke cigarettes?" > i "Not on yer life! Got enough of * ;: that. I smoked since I was six, and last year me throat laid me up in the hospittle two months. No more r cigarettes fer mine." "How late at night do you sell?"" "Oh, till about eleven or twelve."' "Do you go to school?" ? "Sure." "When do you sleep?" "Different times. I alius sleeps at night after I goes home, and sometimes in school." No doubt of this, for he was only \ nine. 4 'What do you have for breakfast?" "Coffee and crullers. I alius has the same every morning. Three crullers fer breakfast and two fer lunch." "Have some peanuts?" "Thanks. I ain't had no supper, so I'm kinder hungry. Nope, I never gets no supper." It is a very common thing to find children on the East Side of New York who have coffee and a roll for breakfast. Seldom do they get eggs, and almost never meat. For lunch they eat still less, and for supper, where there is any supper, they may get a little meat. But in too many cases the boy does not go home to supper, because he knows that there is no use. He buys his supper on the streets for two or three cents or else goes without.? Scott Nearing in the National Child Labor Committee's Page in the October Woman's Home Companion.
