Washing in Madrid.

In Germany, an old custom prevails
of having the washing Of household linen
done only two OF three times a year.
The stock is large, and lasts through the
long interval. Professional washers go
from house to house to cleanse the gar
ments which have lain for months in the
dark clothes-basket or closet. Such a
custom appears very strange one to
American housekeepers. In Madrid,
the washing is also done by profession
ais, but the work goes on every day in
winter and in summer.
For two miles along the banks Of the
Manzanares river are little huts In
which the washerwomen eat their meals
and keep their babies, while from in
the morning to in the evening they
ply their trade in the waters of the
river.
About Ii, 900 women are generally at
work in red, brown, blue, yellow and
pink dresses. It is curious sight to
see these thousands FLASHING in theriver,
and two miles of clothesline coveredw with
white linen.
In summer, the work is pleasant, but
in winter hard and bitter, with the ice
cold winds sweeping down from the
snow-covered hills. But they labor as
cheerfully in winter as in summer, with
laugh and jest, and brief dance after
their simple meals. They are content
with their wages, which do not average
more than 40 cents day.

A SONG OF THE CAMP.
by BAYARD TAYLOR.

"Give US a song!" the soldiers cried,
The outer trenches guarding,
When the heated guns OF the camp allied
Grew weary of bombarding.
The dark Redan in silent scott
Lay grim and threatening under,
And the tawny mound of the Malakof
No longer belcbed its thunder.
There was pause. A guardsman saids
"We storm the forts tomorrow;
Sing while we may, another day
VIII bring enough of sorrow"
Then lay along the battery's side,
Below the smoking cannon,
Brave hearts from Severn and from Clyde,
And from the banks Of Shannon.
They sang of love, and not OF fame;
Forgot WIS Briton's glory;
Each heart recalled different name,
But al, sang, "Annie Laurie
Voice after voice caught up the song
Until its tender passion
Rose like an anthem, rich and strong
Their battle eve confession.
Dear girl, her name he dared not speak,
4'N@es 60 liz SOA45 bAOh -SNtAC-f
Something upon the soldiers cheek
Washed of the stains of powder.
Beyond the darkening ocean burned
The bloody sunsets embers,
While the Crimean valleys learned
How English love remembers.
And once again q fire Of he'll
Rained on the Russianquarters,
With stream Of Shot and burst Of shell,
And believing Of the mortars.
And Irish Morals eyes are dim
For singer dumb and CORY:
And English Mary mourns for him
Who sang of Annie Laurie
Sleep, soldiers still in bo2ored rest
Your truth and valor wearing;
The brsyest are the tenderest-
The loving are the daring.

Our Flag.

The present flag of the United States
was designed by Capt. G. Reid, the gal
liant commander of the Gen. Armstrong.
Our flag originally bore thirteen stars
and thirteen stripes. As new States
came in the number of stars and stripes
were correspondingly increased, pursu-
ant to an act of Congress passed in 1894.
This was found to be impracticable /; for,
as the States increased, the width of the
lines had to be Iessened. Besides, there
was nothing in the device to recall the
original confederacy of the United
States. To return to the use of the
original thirteen stars and stripes would
be inappropriate, because the device
would give no hint of the growth of the
republic. Capt. Reid proposed to re-
turn to the original thirteen stripes as q
memento Of the original Union, and add
a new star whenever new State was
admitted, as indicative of the growth
Of the States. This suggestion was
adopted. A flag with this new arrange
ment was first raised over the Hall of
Representatives, at Washington, on the
4thof April, 1918, at 2 'cIockin the after
noon. At that time the Senate Chamber
and Hall Of Representatives were sep
arated, the center of the building not
being completed Resolutions of thanks
to Capt. Reid for having designed and
formed the present flag Of the United
States " were offered in Congress. The
dimensions Of the United States stand
ard are as follows: Regimental flag, six
feet by six feet six inches; storm flag,
ten feet by twenty garrison flag, twenty
feet by thirty.

Washington Etiquette.

Questions of etiquette are sometimes
very troublesome in Washington, and all
the more because very many of the deni-
zens of that city, who come from distant
and rural homes, know and care nothing
about etiquette. How little the honor
able gentleman from Symmes' Hole
suspects, as he is asked to take Mrs.
Senator Red Velvet to dinner, that the
chair in which he shall sit, and the lady
whom he shall hand out have been
subjects Of long and anxious delibera-
ton. It is easy to call on Wormley, or
Welcker, or Pinard, or some other Chef,
and order dinner for twenty. But who
who shall sit where, and shall hand
whom ?-these are the questions which
cause vexation and anguish. A distin-
guished official gentleman in Washing
ton gave noble repast in honor of
noted guest. It was ordered of the
proper purveyor. "Now," said the
host, when he had babe no expense be
spared, "I don't know anything about
the business of seating people correctly.
You must attend to that, too" The
purveyor went straight to another dis
tinguished man, who had not been in
vited to the dinner because it would not
be agreeable to some other distinguished
man who was invited, and distinguished
man number one was immensely amused
that he was called upon to seat the
guests at dinner to which he was not
himself invited.
It is all the more perplexing because,
although Washington is always full Of
official persons who are really Indifferent
to etiquette, and who greet it with
hearty democratic laugh, yet because
of its official population there has been
from the first especial attention paid by
experts to the subject. Washington
took grave counsel upon it, and Haml-
ton gave him some canons Of behavior
in writing, and there is alleged to be a
more rigid system of social etiquette
among official persons in Washington
than is to be found in any circle else
where in the country. There are
asserted to be due rules for the first
calling" of Senators wives, and the
wives of the members of the Cabinet
and Of Justices Of the Supreme Court.
Precedence at table is also a knotty
point involving great trouble Of soul.
Some years ago Senator gave dinner
to which the Secretary Of State was in
vited. When dinner was announced,
the host turned to the senior Senator,
the dean of the Senatorial Chamber,
and asked him to take the lady Of the
house to the table. The senior Senator
hesitated, saying to his colleague that
the Secretary Of State was in the room.
"Pshaw we Senators make Secretaries
Of State, % was the answer and the host
insisted that in his house nobody should
precede the dean Of his own body.

Presidential Hand.Shaking.

Our Presidents ought, in self-defence,
if for no other reason, to decline to
shake hands with all the world. Why
should the people subject a President Of
the United States to absolute cruelty
At least, we ought to have the good
sense to defer the torture until he has
done something to deserve it.
Few persons have the least idea of the
misery that is involved in mans stand
ing three hours, while 1000 people
file past him, each giving the victim
right hand wrench proportional to
the warmth Of his patriotism, or the
heat of his politics. There is also the
still weightier objection of profaning-
as meaningless form-one Of the SYM
bols of devoted, manly friendship.
Upon the whole, this White House hand
shaking is custom that should be more
honored in the breach than in the OBJ
servance.

The Austrian lady of station who does
not know how to cook. one may almost
say, does not exist. Every detail of the
cuisine she is acquainted with. A story
is told by Austrian ladies of another
who, having neglected her education,
allowed, at great dinner party she
gave, two dishes Of the same color to be
served in succession, fault for which
she was hardly to be forgiven. The
Princesses of the royal household at
tend a course of lectures from the chief
entirely upon the order of serving.
Young ladies do not learn the art of
cooking at cooking clubs, or from public
lessons as here in America, aud they
rarely learn in their own kitchens. It
is the custom to go to some great house,
the house of Princess or at very rich
bankers, where there are famous chiefs,
from whom they learn. When chief
engages to cook for a great house he
stipulates that he is to have the privilege
of teaching as many young ladies as he
chooses. These young ladies need not
even know the mistress of the house,
and they make their arrangements
with the cook only. For a
course of lessons lasting through the
winter each pupil pays the cook 80
gulden, about SIS. This includes in
struction in every particular. If ban
quet is to be given, grand breakfast,
or an elaborate supper, the young ladies
are notified, and are there to see the
dishes decorated and to learn the order
of serving. They watch every process.
Were you to descend to kitchen at
such time, you would find these girls
suffused with bushes as these lessons

Women voting.

It is to be expected that women, 50
far as they are allowed to vote, will
use the suffrage upon questions appeal
ing to their natural sympathies with
greater freedom and more instructive
discrimination than in cases where their
ballots would affect purely-political
result. Elizabeth Stuart Phelps touches
upon this point in recent letter con-
tanning the following characteristic op-
seryations $50 far as 1 understand
the municipal suffrage plan, it Is the
next thing for us women. Hundreds
of women will vote on sharply-defned
moral questions like the liquor prob
lens who would not move for anything
else. It is true that the self-respect Of
women was not met by the limited
School bill. A more just and generous
opportunity will meet just and gener-
GUS response. I, for one, sympathized
with the reluctance of women to play
beggar-maid to that little Cophetua.
If De Tocqueville was right in attrib-
uting the singular prosperity and
growing strength of the American peo-
pie mainly to the superiority of their
women it is time that the common
wealth availed itself more directly of the
reserve forces and sources Of such supe-
riority."

GOSSIP FOR THE LADIES.
The Telephone Girl.

I stood by the " Blake Transmitter,"
For the telephone bell had rung,
And over the wire a sound came
AS though maiden sung
A musical tone quite familiar.
Her voice 1 had often heard,
For, In answering daily telephone calls,
We had interchanged many word.
Have you never received q letter,
And paused ere breaking the seal,
AS you thought concerning the tidings,
What the contents might reveal?
Did not longing possess you
To know what was really within,
Yet to avail Of that knowledge
You seemed in no haste to begin?
In some such manner tarried
At the end of our telephone wire,
Then at last, mastering courage sufficient,
Began at once to inquire:
"Well, halloo well, what is wantcd?"
It seemed at least all could do;
When quick in return came the message:
sHalloo! well, halloo; who are you?"
"Why, am 'forty-eight,' responded.
"You called only moment or two"
Forty-eight,'" she repeated in answer,
"Well, surely don't wish for you"
was giving my telephone number,
AS found on the company's page,
But fear. from her hasty answer,
She thought was giving my age.
Alas that the blow came SO sudden;
received 1t bewildered, alone
AS the consciousness dawned there upon me,
REJECTED by telephone"

For moment or two was stunned

ravine.

and run down the ravine, as if wild

holding on to the top of his head.
Then I began calling to LONE, and,
after some minutes, 1 got him to come
and cut me loose from my wheel.
We looked about. 1t was hard telling
how many of the Indians were killed,
for some of them were blown all to
pieces. 1 think they were all killed,
except the one [ saw run off.
Still, we did not stop long to investi-
gate the matter. I recollect seeing a
hole blown in the earth where their fire
had been, which looked to be six or
seven feet deep. I searched for min
ute, hoping to findagun, but everything
seemed to have been literally blown to
bits.
Several of the mules had been feeding
at no great distance; but now they had
all taken to their heels, frightened by
the explosion.
We started down the canon, keeping
a sharp lookout for the Apache who had
run away, but saw nothing of him.
Following back along our last nights

Insect TOrmentOrS.

Edmund Burke saw nothing but evil
In the French Revolution. He expressed
his adherence of its noisy leaders by
li'-ening them to grasshoppers, ''the
little shriveled, meager, hopping, though
loud and troublesome, insects Of the
hour"
If the orator had known the insects of
Morocco, they would have furnished him
with more graphic symbols of detesta-
ton. These "beasies," as an English
traveller calls them, are the plague Of
the land.
There is flying bug that smells abom-
inably. Its propensity is to drown itself
in an uncovered goblet or tea-cup, caus-
ing the liquid at once to smell so often
sively as to be unfit to drink. As there
are thousands of these insects flying
about, the travellers nose often ob1iges
him to throw away the cup of coffee or
the goblet of water he fain would have
drunk.
Huge grasshoppers, while he was
lying In bed, used to perch themselves
five or six feet away, and take flying
leap at his nose. Caterpillars suspend
ed themselves over his head, while loath-
some spiders wove webs in the tent.
Ants, gnats, mosquitoes, feas and little
red spiders ran over his body, driving
him almost frantic. One morning, as
his life was miserable from these pests,
he discovered a centipede, two and a
half inches long, wandering about on
the bed, seeking something On which to
stick. After he had killed it, his native
servant told him that the insects habit
was to fix his hundred claws in the vic
TINS flesh, and then let his body drop
off. Each claw made fostering wound.
