T needs no intimate knowledge of statecraft to let one know that foreign governments, when other things are equal among candidates, are careful to , select as their ministers or ambassadors to the United States men who know something about conditions in this great democracy, either through previous subordinate service here in the cliplo-

matlc corps, or, as someone has put it, through the medium of marriage, for an astonishingly great number of the foreigners accredited to Uncle Sam’s capital are the happy husbands of American wives. In one or two cases in which the wives of the diplomats are not of American birth, they are of American education, and this has been true in many instances of the helpmeets of the men who have come from the Orient to represent their newly awakened countries in a land where liberty has lived for something over a century. Take it all in all the foreign colony in Washington is interesting, not only in its work, but in its personnel, official and family. Baron Uchida, the Japanese ambassador, was chosen for his post In part at least because once upon a time he had served in a junior capacity as an attache of his government’s legation in the American capital. Moreover, his wife, the Baroness Uchida, received her entire education in the United States. She Is a graduate of Bryn Mawr, and it is rather the usual thing for her to leave Washington and society and diplomatic demands behind her to spend a few days each month under the hospitable roof of her alma mater. There are seven members of the Japanese embassy in Washington, but only one besides the ambassador has

with him his wife. Madame Keishiro Matsui, the wife of the counselor of the embassy, resides with her husband at the capital. There are said to be some “new women” in Japan and it may be that when the Baroness Uchida and Madame Matsui return to their native country they may look upon the new movement among their sisters as one not wholly to be condemned, even in&n oriental land where woman’s subjection to their fiord and master, man, is supposed to be complete. These two Japanese women have taken an extraordinary interest in the woman’s suffrage movement and moreover they are keenly alive to everything which pertains to the higher education of • women. The Pennsylvania education of Madame Uchida gave her something more than what the world Is accustomed to call book learning. I Only recently the minister from Belgium to the United States, the Count de Buisseret; was transferred to his country’s legation at St. Petersburg. The count and countess, his wife, lived in the American capital for a long time and here it was <hat their daughter was born, an event which was * cause for great rejoicing, for previous to the arrival of the little girl the Bulsserets had been blessed only with boys, of whom there were five to help pack the trunks the other day for the journey to the capital of the czar’s empire; l The Countess de Buisseret is an American. She Is daughter of General Story of California, whose family for a great many years resided In Washington. Count de Buisseret has been succeeded as Belgian minister by Mr. E. Havenlth, who comes to Washington from Persia. Mr. Havenlth is also married to an American woman who, prior to her wedding, was Miss Helen Ffoulke, daughter of the late Charles Ffoulke of Washington. Mr. Havenlth at one time was a junior attache of the legation in Washington and here he met, wooed and married Miss Ffoulke. It seems like a string of coincidences, but the fact that three Belgian ministers in succession have had American wives is much more than mere coincidence. The predecessor of the Count de Buisseret was the Baron Moncheur, whose wife also Is an American, the daughter of General Powell Clayton, former United States minister to Mexico. Baron Moncheur has been twice married, his first wife, like his second, being an American woman. There are many reasons advanced for the selection of diplomats with American wives for the American service, but the underlying reason undoubtedly Is that with an American wife a diplomat more quickly gets in touch with American methods, manners and habit of thought and thereby at once becomes of greater service to his government. Mr. Jules Jusserand, the French ambassador to Vie United States, probably is'more familiar with lie American spirit than any other man now representing a foreign government In Washington, inless It be James Bryce, the British ambassador, If whom It is only necessary to say that he wrote “The American Commonwealth,” in order to give one an understanding of how closely this subject of King George has studied American political and economic conditions. France is a republic and there are no better ftepublicans than Jules Jusserand. He has a keen

sense of humor. It was not long ago that American generosity, and patriotism moved some citizens to present to France a statute of George Washington. This statute, erected In a city of France, confronts a statute of the “Grand Monarch” Louis XIV. Now Louis, as the world knows, was a great believer in the divine right of kings, while George Washing-

ton was the American who did a good deal toward shattering faith in the God-given right of monarchs to rule as they would. Mr. Jusserand’s observations on the probable thoughts of Louis XIV. as he gazes day after day Into the countenance of George Washington, are well worth publication. The French ambassador’s wife would have been an American were It not for the fact that her American parents chose France as their long abiding place and there in the capital city Madame Jusserand was born. To all Intends and purposes she is an American. Her father was C. T. Richards of Boston. a If the idea still persists in some places that the sending of ambassadors who have American wives to Washington is merely accidental, let it be said that the present minister from Spain, Senor de Riano, has an American wife, and his predecessor, the Due d’Arcos, also led an American woman to the altar. Senora de Riano before her marriage was Miss Alice Ward. She lived with her grandmother, Mrs. John Ward, on Connecticut avenue in this city. Senor Riano at the

Stenographic Work Is a Good Developer

“The demand for strictly first-class stenographers,” said a man acquainted with the business, “is greater than the supply. In this profession, as in every other, while there is apt to be an oversupply of those less well equipped, there is always room at the top. But a man should not be satisfied even there. “There are stenographers who look on stenography as an end, who are content if they can get on in that; where as it should be looked on as a means to an end. The stenographer can’t know too much, no study or reading comes amiss to him; if he were possessed of all knowledge he would some day find it all useful to him in his profession; but he doesn’t want to stop at that. “If he has the knowledge and if he also has tact and good sense and downright ability as well as a really expert knowledge of stenography he will some day find himself in the employ of a inan of affairs and getting not only good pay but

time of his marriage was, if he will forgive the expression, an underling in his country’s legar tion. He left here wdth his wife to accept a higher post abroad and finally he was made the Spanish minister to Now he is back in the native city of his wife as the head of an embassy in which once he was a subordinate. The American spirit seems to take hold of foreigners as soon as they reach this country. The ambassadors, ministers and attaches who have young children, almost Invariably send them to ! the public schools, to the dismay of the preceptors and preceptresses of the private schools which are attended by the children of many rich Americans, who for some reason seem to prefer the private institutions of learning to those which are equipped and managed by the public. The minister from Costa Rica is Senor Don

The violin, the violoncello, the harp, guitar, the flute, the flageolet, the drum, the piano, and the mandolin, all working together manage to get into a harmony like unto that which marks the Calvo relationsEvery one of the Calvo progeny either has had' or is getting an American public school education, one of the boys by special permission of the United States government, having been given an opportunity to perfect himself in military science at West Point

Mr. Chang Yin Tang Is the Chinese minister at Washington. Mr. Chang brought with him to Washington his wife, Madame Chang, and three daughters. His son, Mr. Henry Chang, was sent to this country years in advance of the coming of his parents in order to perfect himself in Americap ways and to acquire an American education. He is at present studying at the George Washington university. Not long ago there was a wedding at the Chinese legation, the groom being Mr. Henry K. Chang and the bride Miss Isabel Tong. Miss Tong, now Mrs. Chang, is the daughter of Toh Shoa Yi, who was sent as a special ambassador by China to this country two years ago to thank the United States for the remission of the Boxer Indemnity. When Minister Chang came to Washington, ho brought with him in addition to his family, two daughters of his friend, Mr. Tong. Young Mr. Chang promptly fell in love with Miss Tong and as has been said they recently were wedded at the legation and the wedding is declared by those who were bidden to see it to have been one of the most picturesque and sumptuous ceremonies ever performed in America.

getting besides a knowledge of business that is sure to be vastly more profitable to him. “A stenographer in the employ of such a man soon comes to have more real knowledge of the business than the bookkeeper or the cashier or the manager. He knows it from the Inside and from the top and if he proves to be a man of discretion and sound judgment as well as ability he is more and more trusted; and as his ability comes to be more and more clearly shown hs finds himself in due time a partner or a manager, promoted to a higher post because at such a post his ability can be employed to still greater advantage. “It is a fine thing to be a really expert stenographer. but the man with the brains and ability for that should have an ideal, an ambition for higher worth still, as in fact many such stenographers do have, an ambition that sooner or later they realize. Some of the biggest men In business bs» gan life as stenographers.”

Man may declare that, he is the lord of creation, but all the same he fears bis wife above everything else should tie happen to reach home very late it night. Recently a certain husband Arrived home much later than usual ‘from the office.” He took off his loots and stole into the bedroom; but, rain precaution, his wife began to stir. Quickly the panic-stricken man went to the cradlh of his first-born and be?an to rock it vigorously. “What are you doing there, Robart?” queried his wife. “I’ve been sitting here for nearly :wo hours trying to get this baby to steep,” he growled. “Why, Robert, I’ve got him here in jed with me.” said the spouse. And he never said another word all ±at night. A Ready Reckoner. There are no cul-de-sacs for Irish vit.

Here it is in the afternoon papers—with his picture and all.” “Send him word never to set his toot inside my door again. He is his rich, old uncle’s nearest relative.

WANTED TO BE AN AVIATOR Missouri Girl Evidently Very Much In Earnest in Her Desire to Navigate the Air. Mr. Claude Grahame-White, the famous English aviator, is constantly besought .by young women to teach them to become aviators. Many make application by letter. One :of ./these letters reached him the other day from a point in Missouri. Cleared of Its errors in grammar, spelling and capitalization, it read something like this: “Oh, Mr. Grahame-White, teach me to be a ‘planer.’ I saw one of them at Kansas City and I think it is just heavenly. I would like to run a Wright monoplane or a Bleriot biplane, but if you have a better flyer I would try that. I think I would look cute running a baby flyer. Pa says he wouldn’t mind my having a baby one. Couldn’t you bring one out here for a week or so and show me how to run it? I assure you a good time.” Mr. Grahame-White was compelled to decline the young woman’s kind invitation. Not Crape. The head partner of a flourishing firm had recently died. A few days after the funeral an old friend called at the office and said: “I’m grieved to hear you have sustained such a loss in Mre , and I can see you all feel it very much by hanging crape on the wall.” “That’s no crape,” replied the clerk; “that’s the office boy’s towel!” A FINE NIGHT-CAP The Best Thing in the World to Go to Bed and Sleep On. “My wife and I find that 4 teaspoon- y fuls of Grape-Nuts and a cup of hot milk, or some cream, with it, makes the finest night-cap in the world,” says an Alleghany, Pa., man. “We go to sleep as soon as we strike the bed, and slumber like babies till rising time in the morning. “It is about 3 years now since we began to use Grape-Nuts food, and we always have it for breakfast and be- •‘ tore retiring and sometimes for lunch. I was so sick from what the doctors called acute Indigestion and brain fag before I began to use Grape-Nuts that I could neither eat, sleep nor work with any comfort. c. “I was afflicted at the same time with the most intense pains, accompanied by a racking headache and backache, every time I tried to eat anything. Notwithstanding an unusual pressure from my professional duties, I was compelled for a time to give up mvwork altogether. ‘Then I put myself on a diet of Qrape-Nuts and cream alone, with an occasional cup of Postum as a runnerup, and sometimes a little dry toast I assure you that in less than a week I felt tike a new man; I had gained six pounds in weight, could sleep well and think well. “The good work went on, and I.was soon ready to return to business, and have been hard at it, and enjoying it ever since. “Command me at any time any one enquires as to the merits of Grapecuts.
