The foreign official colony in Washington forms a study of life interest which is never wearying to the native inhabi tants of the (Capital. "The for eigners are so different," is the way that the natives put it. This is true in a large sense, but in specific instances* the foreigners aro not so different. Many of them, especially those from Central and South Art*eric,an countries, fall readily into the United States habit of life, and seem to think, rightly, doubtless, that as representatives of republics they cannot do better than to follow the ways Of the people ofjthe greatest republic of them all. ----s,„" been told of the wealth to be mada out of the raising of cattle on the succujent and *rich grasses taose fertile plains, that a most important product has been al­ most lost sight of, Flax. Recent press reports advise us thafc. on one of the last boats to clear Fort William («t the head of Lake Superior) for BufTalo, there were 241,000 busiteis oi flax valued at $583,220, and on another boat leaving the same day there were 288,000 bushels valued at $720,000. There has been a big demand for Ca­ nadian flax this season, and ilife lake movemeqt has been very heavy. Flax is always a sure crop, and gives to the farmer who is anxious for quick return after getting on his land, the chance he Is looking for. There is opportunity for thousands yet, on the free homesteads of 1G0 acres, and many of these are available within short distance of the lines of railway that are already built or under con­ struction, either on the main line or branches. Resides theso free grant lands there is an opportunity to pur­ chase from railway and land com­ panies at reasonable prices. The display of western Canada's grains in the straw as well as threshed grains and grasses recently made at St. Louis was an excellent demonstration of what the country can do. It proved splendid as an illustration of the resources of that vast prairie country, which during the past year has again proven its ability to pro riuce excellent yields ot wheat, oats and barley--and flax. Not only this, but the splendid herds of cattle are a source of large revenue. There is a fund of information to be had th­ reading the Canadian go\*ernment lit­ erature. copfes of which may be Lad free by applying to your nearest Ca­ nadian government agent.

Get it*4 today in \i«ual liquid form Ot chocolated tablets called SarMtahti It is an mistake, and a very common one •27ZE m among the people of the United States, to think that because BO many of the foreign diplomats in Washington represent monarchies and have titles, they are possessed of a certain high mightiness that lieeps them aloof from the democratic horde. The stranger American who calls at any of the embassies cr legatlona is eure lii courteous treat- ment, which is not always forthcoming when a call is made at an American home. Of course the foreigners have a native courtesy which is inbred, but unquestionably they have it impressed upon them by their home government before coming to this'country that America is a ttemocracy and that they must remember that here all men are considered equal. There are plenty of foreign diplomats who will be hail fellows well met in a «rowd of Americans, but who in a crowd of their own countrymen will be very careful totolj|)erve distinctions of class, and hold it beneath their dignity to show any familiarity with one held to be inferior in social standing. The diplomats in Washington are great stick­ lers for precedence among themselves. Length of service in the capital is t|ie thing that counts. The ranking ambassador may be a mere mister, but be has the privilege of precedence over an­ other ambassador who may be a count or a baron. ' *. The imporWnce or the wearth or the strength of the nation represented in Washington amount to nothing where the question of priority of rank among the representatives is concerned. Great Britain ordinarily Is considered a much mora poweriul and important nation in the world of • affairs than Austria-Hungary. Yet today In Wash- ington the representative of the latter country in official and social processions walks ahead of the representative of the former country. The ranking diplomat in the capital city is Baron Hengelmuller von Heugervar, privy coun­ cilor, ambassador extraordinary and plenipoten­ tiary of Austria-Hungary. The baron has been in the diploasatic services of his country ever since he was a youth, and be Is the foreigner of longest service in the United States. The home life of the Baron and Baroness Hengelmuller is of the proverbially ideal type. In an article on the Aus-. f-iallungarian ambassador, John Elfreth Wat-ins says of the home of the diplomat: "The embassy Is a "treasury of souvenirs of sojourns among and intimate acquaintance with the great personages who have shaped and are shaping the history of the world. In the drawing , room ape bronze busts of the emperor and the V late {{Mated empress, and upon one of the tables Is.a jewel case presented by the qaeen of Saxony. > In the dining room are displayed a profusion of ancestral plate, and the portraits of all of the 7^2- ̂sat z&h rulert of the house of Hapsburg from the eleventh century down to Francis Joseph himself. Inside the embaj y the fads of the ambassador and his wife are apparent, those of the ambassador being auto­ graphs and signed photographs of the great ac­ tors in the theater of events; those of the baron­ ess exqile plants, birds from the forests of dis­ tant cduntries, and dogs." It fcas been said that length of service in Washington rules the matter of precedence among ^be diplomats. It should be known, how­ ever, tbfet ambassadors rank ministers, and so It may ie that the minister who has been here for ten Jcars must of necessity give way in the social an|d official processions to the ambassador who has just arrived. Senor Don Joaquin Ber­ nardo Calvo is the minister from the little coun­ try of Co^ta Rica. He ranks the representatives of such natious as Sweden, Portugal, Greece, Den­ mark, the', Netherlands. Belgium, China, Spain and Norway. Scnor Calvo has been in America as the repress ntative of his country for eleven years. The mir.iater from the little Central American republic hfe^ many things to recommend him to the interest of the people of the capital. It has been said here many times that the family of Senor Calvi) could make a fortune on the vaude­ ville stage ;ts musicians, for each one of the twelve children pfays a musical instrument and is possessed of a gsod singing voic. The ambassador o f Great B r i t a i n to the Unit­ ed States is the Right Hon. James Br>ce. who is known or ousht to be known to all Americans as the author of "The American Commanwealth." His length of service puts Mr. Bry.ce fourth in the precedeneo list. He is ranked by the repre­ sentatives of Austria-Hungary, France and Rus­ sia. The British ambassador takes the keenest Interest in social, political and governmental con­ ditions in America, and his wife is no less keenly interested. Mr. Bryce is sympathetic with Ameri­ cas institutions. All of th* foreign diplomats in Washington are democratic; at least while they are in the cap­ ital city. James Bryce is noticeably democratic; he rides in a street car nine times where be rides in a carriage once. For five years Baron Rosen, master of the im perial court, has been the ambassador extraordi nary and plenipotentiary of Russia to the United States. It is worth while to see Baron Rosen in hjs regalia of state at one of the great White House receptions. The Russians run to furs, and the fur trimmingB of the ambassadorial cloak are both picturesque and priceless. While the baron has been ambassador only four years, he is no stranger to this country. Nearly thirty years ago he was consul general of his govern­ ment in New York city. Later he was charge d'affaires in Washington when Grover Cleveland was president. When the peace conference was on at Ports­ mouth, N. H., and an attempt was being made to end the war between ROssia and Japan, Baron Rosen was one of the special conference envoys of his government This fact leads me to tell a hitherto unpublished story of the Russian am­ bassador, a story which goes to show how careful foreign diplomats of standing are to avoid all possible chance of even personal difficulties with Individual Americans. It should be said, however, that Baron Rosen, because of his natural in­ stincts, probably would have acted In this case Just as he did even though he had not been the representative of the czar of all the Russlas One of Baron Rosen's comrades on the peace conference board was his fellow-countryman, the Count von Witte. An American woman and her little daughter were driving in a light buggy on a road between Manchester-by-the-Sea and Ports­ mouth. All at once there came whirling into the road from a tree-lined lane an automobile which struck the buggy, turned it over and threw mother and daughter on to a grassy bank on the side of the road. The shock of the collision smashed the lighter vehicle so badly that the horse was released, and It promptly ran away. The automobile was stopped instantly and two gray headed men Jumped out and ran to the^ assistance of the woman and child. Apparently both were unhurt. The automobillsts were pro­ foundly sorry, sympathetic and apologetic. They took the mother and daughter in their machine and whisked them five miles away to the nearest doctor, who, after an examination, said that nei­ ther of them was hurt In the least. Then the woman and the child were taken In the automo­ bile again and driven to their residence, which was ten miles off. The occupants of the auto­ mobile said they must leave for an hour but they would return. They entered their machine, drove off and in Just one hour they were back. It was subsequently learned that while they were away they had given an order at a village carriage shop for a new buggy to be delivered to the owner of the one that had been demolished. They found that the horse had returned unin­ jured to the stable. After doing these eiVands the return trip was made to the home or the woman and child. There they said that if the slightest injury to either of the occupants of the buggy resulted they stood ready to pay all dam­ ages which might be asked. ^They were assured by the woman that no physical harm had been done. The two automobillsts apologized again, bowed, and handed their caTds, on which were inscribed the names, titles and addresses of the Baron Rosen and the Count von Witte. The ambassador second in rank in Washing ton is Mr. J. J. Jusserand of the Republic of France. Mr. Jusserand is well known, not only as a diplomat but for his literary attainments. Like many other foreign diplomats in Wash­ ington, Mr. Jusserand married an American wife. Perhaps It may be held by some people that Mme. Jusserand Is aot an American because she happened to be boi4i in Paris, but both her par­ ents were Americans. The list of foreigners in the diplomatic service who havo married Ameri­ can women is a long one. Curiously enough, the last two German ambassadors to American both claimed brides on this side of the water. A good many of these international alliances come about in this way: The young foreign attaches of the legations while on duty in Washington fall in love with and marry American girls. Later in life, when promotion in the service comes, they are sent back as ministers or ambassadors to the land where they married. Some people say that this sort of thing makes for international peace, and perhaps it does. rrTTTrj -Why did you quarrel with me Connie- Dick? Grace--Why, be proposed to last night.

The Duel in Mexico t "Although President Diaz always has disapproved of dueling;" remark­ ed the ex-consul, "and has done his best to abolish the practise, it still - prevails in Mexico. The idea that ' certain pdlnts of" honor can be main- f fcained only by personal combat is a v^fyjidaiiiental characteristic of the TXatin race. "Among the upper-classes duels are conducted after the \Parisiwi v oo4e. Swords or revolvers are the weapons, and the rules are such that no one is erer hurt seriously. Encounters have to be clandestine, as detection means a heavy fine and imprisonment, and they have been growing fewer every year ou account of the watchfulness of the police. "The peons, however, the miners and the cattle herders of the plains have more liberty to d# as they and a m o n g them the duel has assumed a form that is typically Mexican. It is about as savage and deadly a man­ ner of fighting as one could possibly imagine. Each opponent extends his left arm. and a third party who haS been selected to act as referee binds their wrists together with a thong of rawhide. He then places a knife in the right hand of each, and the fight is on. Needless to say, it does not last long. Every stab may be calcu­ lated upon to do damage, and it often happens that both duelists receive fatal wounds. Yet, In spite of the se­ vere rules of the game, there are men who become experts and terrorize a whole neighborhood. They pride them­ selves on being able to strike so quick­ ly and so surely that they can kill an opponent with the first blow, and gel away unscathed." Money in That.
