Foreign News

New York, Feb. l0.-The Ora
phic's Washington correspondent
says: An effort is being made to
effect a termination of the treaty
with the Kingdom of Hawaii. In
spite of the resolutions passed in
New York indorsing the movement
there has been developed no element
in Congress-, that is known so far,
which favors such action on the part
of this Government, except from
Louisiana. The question of sugar
protection being vital to the leading
industry of that State, Congressman
from that part Of the country are
unanimous in its favor, and Gibson
has measure looking to the accom-
plishment of its abrogation. It was
expected, it is claimed by members
from the sugar districts, that. the
Republican party would support
their measures on the Iscore of the
tariff, but leading Congressman on
this side of the House have quite
generally expressed themselves as
opposed to the proposition in ad-
vance. There has been an attempt
made to work up a hostile feeling
against the treaty, on the ground
that the Pacific Railroad corpora
tions. and the San Francisco import :
ers have made a combination, the
result of which was that trans-conti-
mental freight was put so high that
Sandwich Island sugar could be sold
at as high rate as any other on the
Pacific Coast, if the absence of duty
did not cheaper the article to con-
sumers. Whether this is so or not,
it does not seem to have taken hold
of Congress, and apparently will not
effect the action on the subject.
! PANAMA, Feb. l0.--The difficulty
between Guatemala and France,
arising from an assault on an at

stated that Guatemala is to give sat
isfaction. The orders for the French
frigate to proceed to Guatemala
have been countermanded.

Female Gamblers.

Another thing the women do, but less
openly, says correspondent at Sarato-
ga, is TO play cards for money, and
many of the private parlors Of the
Grand Union and Congress Hall could
tell pretty tales of fair faces, flushed
neither with rouge nor wine, but the
excitement of gambling. Betting at
races, which has become so common
among the ladies, has stimulated their
love Of chance, and the fashion of play
ing for gold has been brought over from
Europe.
In London last winter was aston
ished Mt hearing Of a card party given
by an American lady whose name is
known throughout this country. The
company WIS snlall, gll but one Amer.
leans, and it was given oil Sunday even
ing, though in her own land the lady's
religious scruples forbade her driving in
Central Park on the Lords day. That
night-there were no gentlemen present
So, 900 and number Of diamond rings

ito game here, and in the warm after
moons, when the ladies are supposed to
be enjoying their inevitable and innocent
siesta, good many, nrrayed in dres sing
sacques and skirts, and fortified with
claret cobblers and Roman punch, are
making their pin money fly, and some
of the worst scrapcs that married women
get into is in trying to account for their
lack OF jewels to their husbands.

No lnd Fathcrs-ln-I.n,r.

No doubt it is moro difficult for n
woman to suppress her indignation, to
conceal irritation, to ignore unpleasant-
ness, TO feel or affect indifference; but
you see, madame, we are not inquiring
into causes, but ms to the fnct. Women
are declared to haven tact than men;
so they have in some social things. but
in important things think not. 1t is.
for instance, the lack of tact on the part
Of women that sets clique against CLIQUE
IN congregations and church societies of
all kinds; that causes almost all associa-
tions organized by women to break up
IN differences; that keeps so many peo-
pie IN hot water in family hotels and
boardlng-houses, or wherever lovely
woman predOminates. 1t is to a lack Of
tact that we owe the traditional mother
in-law Fathers-in-law have no bad
regulations anywhere. May 1 not Say
this is because they have too much tact
to interfere, too much tact to notice
tritles, too much tact to be fussy and
irritating in matters that should wisely
be let alone? Does not any woman real
lze how much tact men are found to ex-
hlbit in order to successfully keep their
places In life? 1t hls been shrewdly
doubted, youknow, whether clubs would
be possible with ladies, not merely be-
cause they have not the club disposi-
tion, but because they cannot abide to-
gether without getting into hostile divis.
ions, 1t takes a good deal Of tact TO
meet daily on familiar and equal terms
win numerous persons and keep all
irritating things out of sight. The club
is possible in the highest civilization
only because nothing but tbe seIf-ra-
preston that comes of the highest social
training permits men of diverse Interests
and tastes to come together harmoni-
ously. The club affords an excellent test
OF tact, and if men are better adapted
than women for club life-if they can
live together in this way without collis-
ions-they have established the pos
session Of tact more efIeetually than even

sweet VVoman's Mouth.


Wide-open mouths have come into
fashion for women. This is a change
from the prevailing style OF the past.
The proper mouth now, says the New
York Graphic, is worn in a constant but
mild smile, the corners drawn back hori-
zontally with the lips left closed. The
expression Is one of amiable, quiet sat
isfactiou with all the forld-as though
the mind was free from sorrow and the
feet free from corus. Care should be
taken not to broaden this into an active
grin except on mirthful occasions nor
should the lips be compressed. All
should be in repOse. The. lips may be
Redeemed, if the Natural color be too
light. A practice of painting the ex-
posed membrane Of the upper lip broad
and bright just at the center has crept
in, but it is bad, for it gives an artificial
and sensuous look. The fashionable
belle has cut the puckering string of
her mouth, and no longer murnlurs
"prunes, primes, prunes. She can
kiss two men simultaneously and give
good satisfaction, where before only one
could find room at time. The reader
who supposes that the above is fanciful
and not plain, straightforward fashion
news is very much mistaken. Women
can change the style of their faces, if
not at will, at least considerably. The
hair over the forehead can be 30 ar
ranged as to produce any desired out
line for the upper part of the face the
| mouth can be made to widely vary its
expression, the eyes can be kept partly
wide open OF languidly half closed; the
cheeks can be rounded by using
"plumpers, the eyebrows can be
arched or Strengthened the color can
be controlled to high degree. Thus
| il is apparent that woman can, if clever,
have to some extent the kind of face she
| wants. The nose is about the only in
tractable feature. 1t strikes right out
in unalterable independence, defying all
efforts to shorten or straigliten it, Let
me interpolate the fact that not one
woman in ten ever laughs or smiles nat
urally. Knowing full well our defects
Of teeth or expression, we try TO hide or
reform them. / know girl who will
never go to the minstrels or other shows
because she isn'tpretty when she laughs.
If inadvertently caught by something
comic, she buries the laugh in hand
kerchief; but whenever possible, she
does her laughing internally. This
wrenches her terribly, and sooner or
later her vitals will get broken all to
pieces but she prefers death to a dis
play Of scraggy teeth.

Tall Stories of Old Age.

From Brazil comes a story of mulat-
to woman having died at the age Of 1877
years just as tho Goth was butch
cred to make a Roman holiday" so this
unfortunate old colored lady seems to
have been killed to furnish forth news
paper paragraph. This is a pity, be-
cause she would have answered the pur-
pose just as well in a couple OF hundred
years time, if the newspaper telling TIC
tale could have had patience to walt
She is said to have lost her sight at tae
age of 100, but to have recovered u
somewhat later. Her death was brought
about by fall from bench, SO that
there is really no knowing how long she
might have lived if the Brazil paper had
not arranged that fatal fall. The SUD
ject of longevity is always being dis.
puted, some persons being credulous oi
all sorts of wonders and others being as
skeptical as the late Sir G. Cornewall
Lewis. The case of the Brazilian mll-
latto is put in the shade by that OF Je-
hannes de Temporibus, who, according
to Stow, died in the year l0l4, at inc
age of 361. Unfortunately, that was
not an age of statistics, and marvellous
statements were supplied. A native OF
Bengal is said TO have died in 1866 at the
age Of 300; but here again distance Oh
place is as important an element as DIS
tance of time in the other instance. In
1888 native of Evercreech, Somerset
is reported to have died aged 200. IN
the latter end of the last century death
at the age of ITO or thereabout seems
not to have been uncommon, but as we
come nearer to our own times tne
records are fewer, until now we are
obliged to go to Brazil for striking IN,
stance of extreme age. The moral would
appear to be that, il in time of regis
tration and research this class OF won
ders had become extinct, the former
statements with regard to them were
myths. Perhaps life was SO dull In those
slow times that man put his sensations
into figures, and thought he had nvea
200 years instead of 70.-LfueTpoof FoSI

4 Beggar Woman With a History.

An old beggar woman, long known at
Courbevole and the environs of Paris on
that side, died recently in state of COM
plete penury. On her arms were found
several tattoo marks, and among them
were the names of Marie Birou and Of
Petit, lovingly interwined together.
These names soon suggested the recol-
lection of n strange episode long passed
almost into oblivion, and threw an I'M
expected light upon the real name and
character Of the old woman. 1t is re-
corded in the annals of the French
Newgate that in 1S47 q man named
Birou died undor suspicious circum-
stances, and the wife, together with q
man named Petit, were tried for having
poisoned him, and convicted of murder.
The male convict was executed in due
course, but the woman was sentenced to
imprisonment for life, and was in the
Jail Of st. Lazare when, in the month Of
February, 1S4S, the revolution broke
out. On the Oath of that month the
mob broke into the prison and let out
the prisoners, and among them the
woman Birou. From then she has led
checkered life, being at one time en-
ployed as a servant in house Of bust
ness at Montmatre Here, however, the
atmospheric of crime continued still to sur
round her, for the man by whom she
was employed had brother VINO was
also condemned to capital punishment,
and suffered death by the guillotine at
Versailles. This incident caused. the
brother to break up his establishment
and turn Marie Birou out upon the
world again. She managed, however,
still to elude the pursuit of the detec-
tives, and obtained an appointment at
Courdevole, where, after she was too
old to work, she continued TO exist prin-
eipally upon the charity of her neighbors,
until death at last revealed the secret Of
her identity by discovering the tattoo
marks on her ms.-Pdrisidn.
