Force on l for Wheat. The threatened trouble between Eng land and France over the Fashoda matter caused a quick advance in the price of wheat, but that question seems no v likely to be amicaoly settled without re course to war and prices have receded equal to the sudden advance. In the event of war anywhere in Europe, the people over there know they must depend upon the United States for supplies. There are other reasons for an advance in price of wheat. The European countries which draw upon the United States for grain are now able to see what their needs will be. B cks are running short. In some districts in Russia from which exact reports were not obtainable early, the shortage is now known to be considerable. Every thing was peace today and foreigners need another war scare to stir them up, as they are determined to buy our grain as low as possible. Some rains are reported in Australia. Germany's crop is estimated eight million wheat and twenty-eight million more rye than a year ago. The export demand for wheat the past two months has been enormous, stimulated by some fear of war and reports of drouth and famine.

PtMbata ami Pteecs About Waahtngtoa. All things considered Washington, D. C . is the nicest city in the world. Not the greatest- that is London. Not the oldest that is Jerusalem. Not the most diversified that is New York. Not the most enterprising that is Chicago. But in the make up of comfort, interest, and courtesy, the nicest. An American city would be avowedly ti e nicest in the world; and Washington is the nicest city in America. The streets are wide; one breathes freely. The people are friendly; one feels con'ented. The car service is exce'lent: one goes about readil. There are no overhead deadly wires, neither telegraph nor trol
iey. Six tickets for 25 cents, there is commonly plenty of company without er wding, and as you near the desired street a pressed electric button rings a little bell, and the car stops gently at the corner. The Capitol building with its lofty dome is the center of observation and reckonini;. 1 here is an east front and a west front with ample "dooryards." The new congressional library near by is said by extensive trawlers to be the most exquisitely beautitul building in the world in it; interior construction and decoration. The White House, executive mansion i, a mile and a quarter west by north from thecapitol with the broad Penns Ivania avenue stretching between is the next cen'er of interest. There are north and south fronts unobstructed except by beautiful lawns with ioliage nnd llowers. and parks of unusual attractiveness. To the east is the Treasury building, and to the west are the fate, War and Navy departments in one building. Thus four cabinet official are within close call of the president. To the south ot the White House is the "white lot," spreading far dovn to the Washington monument. The east room is usually open to visitors and at some hours the president may be seen The department buildings are accessible to visitors from 9 a. m. till 2 p. m. Printed instructions are conspicuous, and instructors are at hand with words not printed. A llag on the White House signities that the president is at home, as also tUgs lloat on the capitol only when congress is in session. It was with peculiar feelings that we stood in the liitle narrow room where Liucoln died, opposite the Ford's theater building where he was shot. We could but remark that his departure from earth was out of al most if humble surroundings as was his entrance into it. The house, owned bv the government is idled with a voluminous collection of relics relating to Lincoln and his time, of private ownership; and the theater is also owned ai d used by the government. We had special guidance through the "Bureau of printing and engraving," where live hundred people on one Moor are making all the paper money in use in the c mntry, and in which also a masher is destroying old bills every day to the value of 81.0jO,000 and more. We have a souvenir of a piece of the paper made from that pulp. The stock of old money is sent down from the Treasury building, of which the bureau is a branch. Our friend Gridley is engaged in that service, and he suffered us for a delectable moment or two to have in hand a package of one hundred 81,000 bills destined next day to be mashed. The "Standard Guide," 2." cent book with maps and illustrations is a great convenience to Washington visitors, a:id would be found of permanent instruction and interest in any household in the nation. Widening away from the wealth of interest in the city proper, trolley cars convey one speedily to other places of great attraction. The National Soldiers Home, where the Scott building was erected in 1852, and the cemetery near by where is the tomb of Gen. John A. Logan; Arlington across the Potamac, the former home of Gen. Lee, now one of the most famous cemeteries in the world; Alex andria, eight miles down the river where in old Christ church Gen. Washington's pew is reserved for visitors on Sundays, and of which R. E. Lee was sometime a vestryman, and the Alexandria lodge, No. 22, of which Washington was once the "Master;" Mt. Vernon, sixteen miles down the river, where is the tomb of Washington and his wife, and the various buildings preserved intact with ancient furniture, the deer park, lawns and garden; "Cabin John bridge,'" seven miles trom the city up the Potomac, the longest span of solid stone arch in the world over which water pipes convey supplies from the falls above. Many hall days ot inspection outward may be added to the many half hours occ !pied within the corporation. We must ct-ase, after saying: Save yourself with strength and means for a sometime visit if possible to the nation B capital. w. w. Raymond. Taid Ii All in Silier Over at Laportea generous Methodist subscribed 600 to aid in the building of a church. Afterward he paid his subscription all in silver dollars. They weighed thirty pounds. It was a pe culiar atfair. He took it from one of the banks where he had money on deposit and where he could have gotten gold or paper money, or have left it and given the committee a check for it. But lor some cause best know to bimsen he carried home the silver and paid it out as rela'ed.
