THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, he:) OMPARATIV EL Y | few people know that | there exists within | the limits of this | beautiful, but some-| times warm city of ‘Washington, a resort where cooling breezes | are not at all rare, during the hottest of | summer days. It is a tract of land large ‘enough to contain all that territory from 9th | to loth, and G to the avenue, and yet have Foom enough left to allow a magnificent | @riveway around the whole of it. i It is not on the hilltops, where one would Raturally rush to find these sensual and! Much-sought summer zephyrs, nor is it hid- den away in the depths of the slecpy flats, | Dut ft is om the river; down where the! Peninsula that marks the extreme southern | Portion of the city overlooks the placid | Potomac, and the shallow Eastern branch. | It is a tract of land as old, if not older, @s interesting. if not more so, than the! city itself, and a piace which has had|{ Rames enough to familiarize it with all Washingwon, if not the whole country, if Bames it is that does such a thing. its Many Names. Above all else it is Greenleaf Point, but} when It was originally purchased, about the beginning of this century, It was for an arsenal. It became, instead, a depot for supplies, and soon after, in Siz, when we had our little one-sided spat with Great Britain, the place was hemmed in by Strong batteries, and it was called Fort Washington. A few years later the ram- arts and batteries were removed, and it @t last became an arsenal. Should you happen to talk to the soldiers there now, it Would be proper to style it the Washington icks, for, since iwelve years ago, when the United States troops were quartere} here, the place was remodeled, and made {nto a permanent barracks, and was given that name. This delightful place lies eighty acres of there with its 4 lawns and it ys shaded by loi Fows of fine old maples and locusts an. Willows and ornamental trees without end, and seems to be just aching for the people to come and partake of its generosity. The trees are of numerous varicties, and even @ papery-barked birch is among them. When there ¢ slightest breeze blow-{ ing it will likely be found here long after | it has deserted the city und the hill tops, and as a place for comfortable lounging eee AL Ee a EXANDRIA—T either side of a pretty tittle ellipse of grass and shrubs and evergreens, with a foun- tain in the center. You ‘vill see on either hand two buildings strikingly similar and which are now residences They used to be parts of the old penitentiary, which ex- teaded across the roadways and through the grounds where the fountain now stands. This main portion was torn dewn about 1870, but the two euds were left standing and were converted into the houses you now see. It tigured gveatly as @ war prison during the civil war, but probably the most noted prisoners it has er held were the ccnspirazors in the as- sassination of President Liacoin. Those four, three men and woman, were brought here and were, on the 7th day of July, 1865, executed on the same scaffold, which stood near the ground row occupied by the fountain Itself. In the library or reading "0m, which occupies a room in one of the buildings on the left beyond the ellipse, vou ‘nay see some relics of interest.

Thefr remains were all buried for a time within these same prigon valls, and those of J. Wilkes Booth and Virz, the brutal keeper of Andersonville »rison, who was executed here, were also vuried in one of the cells. The arsenal grounds have figured quite prominently in two wars. One incident worthy of mention eccurred in August. 1814, when it was known as Fort Washington. One night about the latter part of that month our troops set fire to the work shops and jlamazed the place otherwise as much as they could and aban- HE CANAL. it cannot be equaliel by any of the other | parks.

A Good Piace for Children. j Bring the little ones along by all means | and let them romp and play to their heart's content. Let them roll up their breeches and wade in the water under the willows by the wall, where it is tery shallow at) low tide, and sail thelr boats. Then, if} they have not yet cnough of it, teke them | und the grounds to where the James Creek canal emptics into the Eastern branch and go on the wharf and allow them to throw their kines. They will very Ukely not burden you with a string of ten- Pouliders, but they will enjoy the sport, | and maybe you will take enough interest ia it to hold a line and watch a cork your- self, for you know it Is not so much the has it is th Setnere are a number of pleasant scenes of land and water on every sile, and whether uw love nature of not you ¢: fuising them. The old Potomac is along- side, ever alive with big and little boats | and all kinds of craft, coming and going or strung along the wharves, and that alone furnishes enough to keep one’s mind busy. When one of the lsrcer boats passes a loaded excursion steamer of a ferry, notice how the skiffs and small sail boats dance about in the water in front of the wall, where they are anchored, and see how they | bob about and strike at each other with their long po'es. Hear the chains rattle and clank together, and see how the swing- ing ropes and ‘tall masts send thelr wiggling reflection over the water when they are disturbed by the motion. ‘The Coolest Spot. If the sicht of the river is more enjoy- | able to you than to watch the soldiers or stroll slong the shaded walks, go down to the lower end of the ground, where the small trees hang over the wall, and sit there Im its dense shade. There you will find it the coolest and most pleasant place that is afforded by these roomy breathing grounds. The slabs that cap this wall are as cold as any one may find in the coolest | Morgue, but although that ts saying a good deal you need not be reminded of the un-! leasant thought when you take a book and Qe'there and read and listen to the passing policemen to nab doned the fort. Early next morning the British noticed the vacancy and tvoi pos- session with a detachment of over five hun- dred troops. Soon after they bad quartered themselves here a terrific explosion of cun- powder followed and a great number of the Fed coats were annihilated. Nearly all of the builiiags extending along the eastern portion of the grounds | were not built until the civil war made it necessary. And then ‘hey were used for manufacturing ammunition. Boats and cars were run to the grounds and kept busy carrying this explosive to the front. ‘The shade ts even denser as you proceed further south on the drive from the foun- tain. And at Its crossing with a walk, under the fine spreading shade trees, above whose heads wave “old glory,” you will nearly always find a cool, refreshing breeze. ‘The Drilling of the Soldiers. If you aré Interested In tactics or drilling, or like soldiers, or enjoy band music or bugle calls and can come to this place at about 10 o'clock in the morning you will Down the River. have your effort more than repaid. The band furnishes fair music, the bugle calls are good and the drilling is almost perfec- tion itself. If you would like more of it, come sgain at sundown and watch the dress parade and hear more music and see the soldiers at their best. Four companies drill, not including the “company” of must- clans, who are attracted and wheeled around the corner by the magnetic stick tossed and twirled by the dignified drum major. You cannot help remarking at the perfect lines and simultaneous movements of them all.

ASK. The From Chambers’ Journal. Birds have very acute vision; perhaps the most acute of any creature and the sense is almost more widely diffused over the retina than is the case with man; consequently a bird can see sideways as well as objects in front of it. A bird sees—showing great un- easiness in consequence—a hawk long be- fore it Is visible to man; so, too, fowls and pigeons find minute scraps of food, distin- guishing them from what appear to us ex- actly similar pieces of earth or gravel. Young chickens are also able to find their own food, knowing its position and how dis- tant it is, as soon as they are hatched, whereas a child only very gradually learns either to see or to understand the distance of objects. Several birds—apparently the young of all those that nest on the ground —can see quite well directly they come out of the shell, but the young of birds that nest in trees or on rocks are born biind and have to be fed. © Phila.

MEN WHOSE MAIL IS HEAVY. ‘Written for The Evening Star. F PEOPLE throughout the coun- try who write to Rep- resentatives at Wash- ington have noticed any improvement lately in the prompt- ness and dispatch with which their let- ters are answered, it 1s because of a new plan just introduced in the House. Since the extra session was convened on August 7 every Congressman needing a clerk has had the privilege of employing one at Un- cle Sam's expense, and the average member of Congress has hastened to avall himseif of the opportunity. The good effects are al- ready apparent all over the country in the iuereased speed and precision with wh constituents’ letters are attended to, and another phenomenon is visible here in the shape of an extra invasion of spruce young fellows and smart damsels expert in sten- ography and typewriting, who, keenly con- scious of thetr own importance, and deeply impressed with the wonders of Washington, dance daily attendance on their distin guished patrons, and add to the throngs that block up the corridors of the Capitol. Under the new arrangement, any member or delegate in the House who ts not chairman of a committes, and on that account provided with an amanuensis, may certify to the clerk of the House, on the first day of each month during the session of Congress, the amount he has paid or agreed to pay for clork hire necessarily employed by him in the di charge of his duties in the previous mont Whereupon the aimount certified, not. ex. ceeding $100, will be paid by the clerk of the House to reimburse him. This is the novel form of certificate which each mem- ber drawing clerk hire is required to. fill and sign: House of Representatives, United States, WASHINGTON, D.C. 02.0.2, ID Hon. James Kerr, ‘Clerk ‘of the House of Representatives: Sir—This is to certify that I have patd, or the sum of. dollars ending the ssssss0 189 5 that the clerk ly employed by me in the dis- charge of my official and representative duties; that I'am not chairman of any com- mittee, entitled, under the rules, to a clerk. Member of the House of Representatives of the United States, ......District, state of sy 189. Received of James Kerr, Clerk of the House uf Repre- sentatives of the United States,.............. dollars, in full for amount paid by me for clerk hire, as per above certificate. The statesmen are thus placed on their honor to certify strictly the amount they have expended for clerical help. Nobody is compelled to incur any expenditure at all unless he chooses, but every one who is not chairman of a committee and provided with & committee clerk is at liberty to employ assistance to the extent of $1W monthly. If the amount of his work requires him to ay more, the excess must come out of his own pocket. Most of the members will tind it convenient to spend the full $100 per month, while others who may happen to employ piece workers will conscientiously gertity for only the exact sum paid out. To most of them the new plan will afford much needed relief, and will be especially welcomed as an unmixed blessing by those who have been burdened heretofore by the necessity either of doing their own cleri- cal work for pecuniary reasons or of hav- ing it done at their own personal expense. More, perhaps, than anything else, the daily mails determine the real character of every Congressman’s career in Washing- ton. They either bind him down to the grindstone of dull drudgery by their heavi- hess, or else by their lightness permit him to soar aloit in the clear empyrean of leg- islative endeavor. Or again, if only moder- ate, they will at least compel him to divide his attention between them and the more alluring lines of statesmanlikée activity. Aside from @ Congressman's regular duties in committee -and on the floor of the House, his correspondence hitherto has consumed the lion's share of his time, di- rectly or by consequence. As a rule nearly every letter received by him entails the writing of three letters on his part—first, one of acknowledgment; second, one of in- auiry, addressed to some official in one of the departmerts, and third, one announe- ing the result to the constituent. In addl- tion the departments have to be visited frequently in search of information and many other errands have to be performed by the statesman who would faithfully represent his people. The daily mail of some of the leading Congressmen, and even of some of the most obscure ones, often amounts to 50, 7%, or 100 letters, chiefly of an official nature. If a Representative un- dertook to answer them himself and sup- ply the wants expressed In them by their writers, he found it absolutely impossible to do anything else. On the other hand if he attempted to perform his broader duties by participating In the discussions and leg- ‘slation of the day he had to leave his let- ters unopened. An Expensive Honor. A Congressman’s %,000 salary may seem princely to people in the back country dis- tricts, but in practice it scarcely enables its recipient to live moderately and pay ex- penses. Hence, impecunious Congressmen = families to support have found it a heavy drain on them to pay le tor writing their letters and running thelr er rands. Many have even retired from Con- Gress altogether because of the excessive ex- pense involved in living and paying for these necessary services, Nevertheless, so tender-footed have Rep- resentatives been in the past about voting clerks to themselves that they have been content to struggle along without them as best they could. It is true the august and reverend Senators at the other end of the pitol had set an example years ago by firmly meeting the issue and voting to sup- ply themselves with clerks at public ex- pense, and nobody said them nay. But Senators are in a different position from the direct representatives of the people. They are not obliged to face the sovereigns of the soil every two years at the polls, and therefore they do not have such wholesome fear of the people before their eyes. In Tecent years members of the House have continually wanted clerks, and wanted them badly, but they dreaded ‘lest by supplying their wants from the public purse they would incur the wrath of the voters at home. Repeatedly they have tried to au- thorize the employment of clerks to them- selves by engrafting amendments to that effect upon the regular appropriation bills when in committee of the whole, and these amendments would have been carried each time by overwhelming majorities if they had been permitted to go through the House without a yea and nay vote. But immediate- ly on the dreaded call of the yeas and na: which would put them on record, the more Umorous members have precipliately run under cover or dodged, and after standing up valiantly for clerks one moment, havi with equal positiveness recorded their votes against clerks the next. When the Opportunity Came. A more opportune time was selected last March, however, at the close of the Fifty second Congress, to accomplish the long- desired object for the benefit of the suc- ceeding Congress, the Fifty-third, when it could not be justly charged that the mem- be>s had voted money directly into their own pockets. A joint resolution, subtly drawn, to which no valld objection could be urged, providing simply to reimburse such members as should employ outside assist- ance for the amount of their actual out- lay, was introduced and called up in the last week. It passed the House tn a jiffy, was agreed to by the Senate and sent to the White House, receiving the signature of President Hazrison in approval among the last acts signed by him. Under its pro- visions when Congress 1s not in session there can be no pay for clerk hire, and no sinecure for the clerk, since it 1s assumed that representatives can attend to their own cozrespondence when none of their time is diverted to purely legislative work. Since the present session began the Con- gressmen have been in high feather on ac- count of this acquisition of clerks. Some have brought bright young men of their ac- quaintance from their districts and installed them here in a permanent way as thelr p-i- vate secretaries. Others have made ar- Tangements with resident stenographers and typewriters, male and female, to take their dictations regularly and to run their errands besides. Others still have distri- buted their work among several individuals, turning their letters, for instance, over to a stenographe:, thelr pension calls and ap- plications to some young lawyer practising before the bureau, and their documents and speeches to page boys, hangers-on in the departments, or to friends or relatives else- where in the city. By a decision of the first contzoller the persons who do the work are in no sense officers of the government on that account, and consequently any mem- ber or delegate can hire any number of people to do his work, and likewise any number of members or delegates can hire the same person or persons. Under this system expert stenographers and pension attorneys will be able to secure a comfort- able monthly stipend from several Congres: men at once by doing their work in com- bination at stated hours in the day. In fact, @ Congressional Stenographers’ Bu- reau has been duly incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia to pursue this very sort of business and incidentally, of course, to pick up $100 from each patron monthly. But the pe-sonal and confidential quality of a portion of the mail received and \sent out by Congressmen Is likely to Prevent such an institution from achiev- ing a shining success, although at first glance there would seem to be a rich field for it here. As to the Congressmen them- selves, they have been enjoying more lel: ure in the past month than ever before dur- ing a session, and they feel fresher and bet- ter equipped for engaging in the more at tractive lines of legislative work. They are already sounding the praises of the new system, and, under the circumstances, it has probably come to stay. Western Letter Writers. In passing, it {s interesting to note the striking differences in amount and degree that characterize. the correspondence of Representatives from different sections of the country. The mail of Representatives from the New England and South Atlantic states is comparatively lght, that of Rep- resentatives from the middle states 1s mod- erate, or “from fair to middling,” and that of the western, northwestern and south- western states is exceedingly heavy. In other words, It seems that the people of the older states, particularly of the thir- teen original states, which had thelr ex- istence before the Union was established, lean but lightly upon the federal govern- meat and have but few wants to express in correspondence to their Representatives at Washington, while residents of the newer states, whose state governments were erect- ed simultaneously with their admission into the Union, are apt to look to Washington for nearly everything they want. In the old states along the Atlantic seaboard the peo- ple by instinct and tradition rely upon themselves and upon their state govern- ments, while in the later admitted states, especially those beyond Minois to the north, south and west, as for example Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri, the people appear by custom to be more dependent on the general government. Particularly is this the case in states where conditions of acute unrest and dis- satisfaction prevail, from industrial or financial causes. There the people have be- ¢ome habitually clamorous in their demands upon Congressmen to procure them pen- sions, sustenance and situations, to remedy and redress their wrongs, real or Imagined, to lighten their burdens, to mitigate their woes and to do other things by legislation and influence at Washington which can only be done by the exertion of individual effort and independence. Again, other hand, the southern people in th main bother thelr Congressmen v. Y by writing letters. nee ——.__. A Candidate Badly Hoaxea. Paris Correspondent Louion Telegraph. M. Robinet, the illiterate candidate for parliament, who went round Paris the other day blowing a hunting horn in order to call public attention to his electoral program, has been nearly stoned to death in thi Trocadero district, owing to the hoax of which he was made a victim by a facetious printer. The candidate, having resolved to go about as a “sandwich man,” obtained two boards, and commissioned a printer to ornament them with an elaborate political address in the largest type. ‘The compositor, taking advantage of M. Robinet’s inability to read or write, drew up the address, couching it in the most un- parliamentary language at his command. It was, in fact, composed of a tissue of the vilest insults to the local electors, while the candidate himself was not spared by the irrepressible hoaxer. Hardly had M. Rob- inet appeared in public between his boards than he was followed by a crowd of people, who threatened to lynch him. Some threw stones at the man, but he found a few sym- pathizers, who evidently saw through the joke and ‘defended him. A free fight raged for a few moments round the candidate, his friends and his foes energetically plying their fists and sticks, while Robinet looked on intensely amazed at the tumult. He was finally ex- tricated from his perllous position by the police. Notwithstanding his adventures the victim of the printer's hoax intends to con- tinue his candidcture, and professes to have faith in his chance of securing a seat in the Palais Bourbon, where he would be a greater curiosity than the deputy in a blouse or the peasant politician from Brit- ny. The girl who is earning her money by working says with a sigh, when she buys a hat that is too extravagant or a box of Sweets that she doesn't need, “Well, I worked hard enough for this money, T may spend it as I please,” writes Ruth Ashmcre in a pleasant article on “Girls and the Use of Money,” in the September Ladies’ Home Journal. ‘That sounds reasonable, but she ought to want to spend it in the right way. She ought to think of the days when pos- sibly sickness will come—then «oes she want to feel sure that she hasn't « dollar in the world and that she 1s being taken care of by people on whom she has 0 claim? Or there will come a day when everybody elze is going for an outing; will she have to 4 cline because she hasn't saved any money? I know she has earned it; I know the fine hat or the fine gown may be very tempting —but the mere fact that she has given her strength and nervous force to «et this money should make her cautious in taking care of it. “Shall I be mean?’ asks a seasitive girl. No,my dear,but I tell you it is fust as well to remember the old proverb about being just, before you are generous. There is no gen- erosity in contributing to a floral plece for some dead comrade and owing a bill to your washerwoman; there is no generosity in treating all the girls you know to Ice cream and having to catchcold because you haven't a thick flannel petticoat on, the reason be- ing that you have no money to buy one. The girl who is talked of as generous with money Is, Tam sorry to say, too often very foolish with it. She is ready, when she has {t, to lend {t to whoever asks her, to give to whatever is going on, and when it is gone she either suffers from its loss in mor- tification and tears, or else she becomes a borrower. The wise girl is the one who tempers generosity with sense. senate ‘The Pulse and the Temperature. From St. Nicholas. . If you take @ thermometer on a hot sum- mer day and watch it until it runs up un- der the iniluence of the sunshine to 98.4 you will see it when it reaches that point at the exact temperature of your body, if you are in normal heaith. Your temper- ature may fluctuate a fraction above or below $8.4, according to the time of the day or night, but it never varies to any extent until fever or some other kind of disease sets in, ‘Then the temperature begins to do what the puise would not do—tell just how dangerously sick the person is. And one of the strange things about it is that it does not vary many degrees from this normal point of 98.4, no matter how ill the patient may become. If there is a high fever it may run up to 104 or 105, and sometimes to 106, but it seldom stays at this last point for any length of time. If it goes up to 198 the good physician who 1s watching at the bedside of the sick person concludes that death will soon put an end to the suffering. Sometimes, as in cases of choiera, it may drop several degrees below 98.4, but It seems to be impossible for it to change many de- grees from the normal point. There are cases recorded where the temperature ran up to 110 or 112 and the patient recovered. The pulse, on the contrary, may change many beats, and still the sick person will not be in danger of death. But, as a rule, if the temperature reaches 108 or 109 death soon follows. A_tiny thermometer, called a clinical thermometer, is used to indicate the tem- perature. It'fs placed‘ under the tongue or close to the skin in the axilla, or armpit, and left there for a few minutes. By an ingenfous arrangement the mercury in the slender glass tube is self-registering, 80 that you may tell how high it was at any time after the temperature is taken, if the mercury {s not disturbed. pcre eri Shrewd, but Polite.
