How Washington Girls Brace Iu.

FROM the 81. Louis Globe Democrat.
The mania for tea drinking increases
weekly, and in q group of young ladies
in dressing room one announced that
she had had DR.. Johnson S eighteen cups
of tea that day. All gasped at the idea,
and, as she could walk across the room
without staggering. asked how in the
world it happened. She confessed to
have taken nine cups during the after,
noon hours while she poured t, at her
mothers reception, and the others we're
distributed along through the day. She
takes cup of strong English breakfast
tea every evening at nine O'Clock to buoy
her up through an evenings engage
ments, and recommended all the other
jaded and weary damscls to try it for the
rest of the season.
Another girl announced that size al
ways took Il few grains of quiniue as a
pick me-up,' she said, to carry her
through dinner or ball
A third one owned to rely ing Oh beef
tea with little brandy i'll it. and a mas
sage treatment from her old col""ed nurse
every night and morning, and seemed TO
be rather proud of her hygienic groom
ing.
A fourth one said flat strong coffee
kept her up to the high concert pitch of
the last of the season, but among the
stimulants recommended none owned up
10 alcoholic ones, although the numbe
of punches ard the bottles OF the raw
materials sent up to :: popular society
girls room last season was the gossip of
the hotel that her family stopped at.

Beaver and Lee.

A Washington correspondent of a Phil
adelphia paper says: In all the pageant
l could not help noticing that Genera
Beaver, who won fights in battles for the
Union, rode with becoming dignity hi:
good bay horse. That he had but one
leg fe v knew. He sat his saddle like ar
old soldier. AS he passed along the line
| di not hear one cheer come to him
In theatrical phrase lie did not get a
hand.
How different it was when FitzhugL
Lee rode in front of the Confederate col.
umn. He was cheered to the echo.
Look at it for moment. Here, Oh
one hand, is Beaver. He went into the
Union army, and in battle for the just
cause of the United States was shot al
most to death. He lost leg in battle,
and he suffers from his wounds every
hour of his life.
Now Fitzhugh Lee comes in the pre-
cession-a nephew of the great Robert
Lee. He is fat man, of about 50, hand,
some in appearance and impressive in his
manners. He rode wonderful beauti-
full horse, and from the time he started
from the Capitol he received cheers and
wavings of flags and handkerchiefs most
bewilderins.
do not know much about military
matters, but still cannot think that a
