Washington: Il Ll5y of .,maii hc)AoHiss,
There is no such thing as extrava-
gance in Washington-that is, New
York or even Philadelphia e1trava-
gance. Washington is a city OF small
ou:goes and small economies. Some OF
the latter are very funny. There is my
friend the prosperous lawyer, who pays
q hotel newsstand five cents day for
the privilege Of reading all tliemorning
newspapers. If he taxes one he pays
the newsman another nickel. There is
my friend, his wife, who always secures
n deduction on the medicine she buys
by promising to return the bottle. This
lady is also one of a number who sell
their old dresses and what not of fix
ings to shrewd old colored auntg in .
smart red and yellow bandana, who in
turn sells them ION time' to well-to-dO
servants. a prosperous merchant, whom
i know. thinks nothing of paying his
own fare when he take; party of Ia
dies downtown in the street car and
letting each of his fair companions do
the same. A street railway president,
so they say, sometimes utilizes his car
riage horses on ''the line," and the
president of steamboat line did, and |
think does, save his board by riding up
and down the Potomac on one OF his
steamers. THIS is a town where the
leaders in politics, finance and jour
nalism lunch. on milk and pie in q dairy,
ride in lIlree-cent ears. drink five-cent
soda water. and patronizs BARRIERS who
shave for ten cents, where men of all
sorts Of prosperity dine for quarter,
and refresh their minds in the evenings
at the hospitable newspaper correspon-
dents offices, which stand open from
sunset almost to sunrise. / supposed
everybody within 500 miles of Washing
ton knew ali this until l saw that poor
Scnor Barca was charged with extrava-
gance. Senor Barca would nave found
great difficulty in getting the patent
medicine miilionaires of the east or the
pork and lard kings of the west to his
modest entertainments had he not been
a representative of royalty" tie lived

twenty thousand u year. He could not

Fires and Firs Places,

Every house should have in the prin-
cipal, or living room, at least, =. fire.
place, if only for use in summer, OR in
the warm months. There is rarely q
month in which there is not long and
cold storm, or if it is not cold, there is
an all-pervading dampness, which re-
quires & fire to remove it. In the North
ern States, the present month and the
next are among the most enjoyable, as
to weather, OF all the twelve. Yet cold
storms OF several days duration are ire
Quent, and if there are not such storms,
warm, genial days are followed by chilly
nights, bringing 4 change so great, that
only the most robust can endure it, and
the foundation OF serious illness is often
laid at this time. AT this season 4 fire,
especially at might, is often needed for
both comfort and health, and no house
should be without u provision for it..
While fire in q stove is vastly better
than none ut al, by all means, where
possible, have it in an open fireplace.
Aside from its social effect, the ar of
cheerfulness which u fire on the hearth
brings with it, sucn a fire also brings
ventilation, . change of air, Il removal
of dampness and stagnaiion. such rs q
close stove does not afford. In our
climate we rarely have q month, even
in summer, in which q fire is not At
times needed. Were the provisions for
making it more general, we should hear
much less of malaria. Mai-Glia
means bad air; good air comes with an
open fire, as well as brightness and
cheorfulness.-Amcrican Agrieaiturtss
