LIFE IN WASHINGTON.
What 1t Costs for the. Fun OF Rein &
Secretary Of State.

It is more expensive to be Secretary Oh
State than to be President, says a Wash
ington letter, while one gets $4,000 a
year and the other but $4,000. The
/ President has his house completely fur
nished, his servants, conservatory, and
many other things which costs money,
given him free. He has to entertain only
on stated occasions; but the Secretary Of
State is the leader of hospitality. His
wife and daughter are expected to give
the swellest receptions of the year once
or twice a week. The house rent and
servants wages win take nearly all the
meagre So, 900 allowed Then the diplo-
matte corps regard our Minister of For
eign Affairs as their legitimate prey. A
majority of them are poor. outside of
their uniforms and titles. Their under
secretaries infest cheap boarding-houses.
But however much they may be pinched
other ways, the Secretary's house is sup
posed to be always open to them, his wo-
men folks ready to amuse them and his
wines at their free disposal. The reason
no one knows, but the scheme must be
an heirloom from the old days when
Washington was desert and the Secre-
5tary's house about the only place open to
the much-guyed Representatives of for
eign powers. When MIR. Fish was here
he had the great house opposite Cham
berlin's, recently bought by John r. Nc
Lean. Here the most lavish hospitality
was dispensed by Mrs. Fish, which they
could very well afford. Mr.. Evarts had
the establishment opposite John B. Al
leys, now occupied by Senator Hill,
where his daughters made an enjoyable
home with the doors always open. The
privilege Of being Secretary cost him
about S25. 600 az year above his salary.
Blaine built his big mansion for this pur-
pose, while Secretary Frelinghuysen's
wife and two daughters have kept open
house for the past three years. His sala-
ry is not fifth part of what he spends
on account of his official position.

From the Galveston News.
Mrs. Mamie Hughes, living at Halls

neighbor, was attacked by a afurious bull.
Seeing no way of escape orany assistance
at band, she called to her TWO children,
little boy of 6 years and q aii5tle girl of
Z, who were with her, to run for their
lives, while she stood her ground, and
taking off her shawl awaited the furious
animals approach, and as soon as he
lowered his head for the fatal plunge she
spread the shawl over his head and caught
. him by the horns. The animal pushed
her back some twenty or thirty feet,
when she loosed her hold, and, spring
ing aside, she ran to her children, who
by this time had gained a safe distance.
The animal, after paving and goring the
shawlsto his satisfaction, lay down on it
and took rest, while she and her chill
dren proceeded to the neighbor's house.

Have an Object in Life.

Young man il you want to succeed
you must have an object. If you go
on through life in a ship-shod, aimless
sort of way, the chances are that you
will die, as you have lived, mere
cipher soon forgotten in this world,
and if in the merciful province of God
you succeed in getting into the next,
you will have to sit around on the
ragged edge unable to join in the
smallest song which the celestial choir
is said to sing. There won't be any
place for you and nothing for you to
busy yourself about. You won't even
have the satisfaction of being allowed
to assist in taking up the collection,
because you would go to sleep before
you had got half way around.
Have an object! What does it mat
ter if you do fail short of itP Aim
high and blaze away. Suppose you
don't hit the mark, you arc no worse
off than hundreds of Others! But let
me tell you, if you aim well and keep
on firing, after a while something is
sure to drop. Of course if you shut
your eyes and pull off both barrels at
once, you may hit something, but the
probabilities are that you won't, and
if you do it will very likelJ. be some
odoriferous turkey buzzard or harm
less little pee-wee, that it would hav G
been much better for your reputation n
had you left alone.
Have an object, young man, and
stick to it. You may never be Presi-
dent or even a Governor, but if you
keep some worthy object in view and
work hard, we'll wager a lead nickel
that some day you will be able to take
your best girl to the circus, without
skulking around on the back streets
for fear of meeting your wash-woman
whom you owe for your last three
weeks washing.-CALEB CoRKsCREw

The admiral was Brueys, who was

in the action. He continued to give

in the course of some minutes.

Distribution of the Sense of Taste.

Taste, however, is not equally.dis-
tributed over the whole surface of the
tongue alike. There are three dis
tlnct regions or tracts, each of which
has to perform its own special office
and function. The tip of the tongue
is concerned mainly with pungent and
acrid tastes; the middle portion is sem
sitive chiefly to sweets and bitters
while the back or lower portion con
fines itself almost entirely to the fla
vors OF roast meats, butter, oils, and
other rich or fatty substan ces. There
are very good reasons for this subdi-
vision of facilities in the tongue, the
object being, as it were, to make each
piece OF food undergo three separate
examinations (like ''smalls, " mods"
and greats" at Oxford, which must
be successivelv passed before it is ad-
mitted into full participation in the
human economy. The first examina-
ton, as we shall shortly see, gets rid
at once of substances which would be
actively and Immediately destructive
to the very tissues of the mouth and
body; the second dscriminates be-
tween poisonous and chemically harm
less food-Stufls; and the third merely
decides the minor question whether
the particular food is likely to prove
then and there wholesome or indipest
lble to the particular person. The
sense OF taste proceeds, in fact, upon
the principle of gradual selection and
elimination it refuses first what is
positively destructive, next what is
more remotely deleterious, and finally
what is only undesirable or over-lus.

was on fire. several of the sailors had
left and saved themselves on spars till
picked up by the English boats. Aided
by the purser young Casabianca and
his father were lowered down by a
piece of mast floating by. but they
had only got a short distance from the
120-gun Orient when she blew up, and
nothing more was seen of the Casabi-
ancas.

An Ideal American.

II there is any person in the world
to be envied, writes Oliver Wendell
Holmes in the February atlantic, it is
the one born to an ancient estate, with
a long line of family traditions and the
means in his hands of shaping his
mansions and his domain to- his own
taste, without loosing sight of all the
characteristic features which surround
ed his earliest years. The American
is, for the most part, a nomad, who
pulls down his house as the Tartar
pulls mp his tent-poles. II l had an
ideal life to plan for him. it would be
something like this: His grandfather
should be n wise, scholarly, large
Drained laro e-hearted country minis
ter, from whom he should inherit the
temperament that prcdisposes to
cheerfulness and enjoyment, with the
finer instincts which direct life to
noble aims and make it rich with the
qualification of pure and elevated
tastes and the carrying out of plans
for the good of his neighbors and his
fellow creatures. He should, if posi-
BILE. have been born, at any rate have
lpassed some of his early years, or a
large part of them, under the roof of
the good old minister. His father
should be, we will say, business man
in one of our great cties--a generous
manipulation of millions, some of which
have adhered to his private fortunes
in spite of his liberal use of his means.
His heir, our ideally placed American,
shall take possession of the old house,
the home of his earliest memories,
and preserve it sacredly, not exactly
like the Santa Casa, but, as nearly as
may be, just as he remembers it. He
can add rs many acres as he will to the
narrow house lot. He can build a
grand mansion for himself, if he cboos-
es, in the not distantant neighborhood.
But the old house, and all immediately
round it, shall be as he recollects it
when he had to stretch his little arms
up to reach the door-handles. Then,
having well provided for his own
household, himself included, let him
become the providence of the village
or town where he finds himself during
at least portion of every year. It's
schools, its library, its poor--and per-
haps the new clergyman who has sue
ceeded his grandfather's successor
may be one of them-all it's interests,
he shall make his own. And from
this center his benefcence shall radi-
ate SO far that all who hear of his
wealth shall also hear of him as
friend to his race.
Is not this pleasing programmed
Wealth is steep hill, which the father
climbs slowly and the son often
tumbles down precipitately; but there
is table-land continuous with it,
which may be found by those who do
not lose their head in looking down
from IT'S sharply-cloven summit. Our
dangerously rich men can make them
selves hated, held as enemies of the
race, or beloved and recognized as it's
benefactOrs. The clouds of discomfort
are threatening, but if the gold-pointed
lightning-rods are rightly distributed
the destructive element may be drawn
off silently and harmlessly. For it
can not be repeated too often that the
safety of great wealth with US lies in
obedience to the new version of the
old axiom, Richessc o6lige.
