Washington Letter.


II is now expected that the President will |
return to Washington about the ninth of
September. The White House is in readi-
ness for his reception and he will doubtless
be able to enjoy its luxurious appointments
by comparison with the fishing camp in which
he has so recently lived.
1t is not known when Miss Cleveland will
return. but probably not before the first of
November. The talk Of her appointment to
the Presidency Of Nassar College has been
revived, and her acceptance ofthe position
is a, least a possibility.
Advices from Secretary Whitney state
that he will return to Washington the latter
part OF next week in order to dispose Of an
accumulation of business on his desk. lie

CONVERSATION AND READING Reading
fills the lamp, and conversation lights it ;
reading is the food Of the mind. and conver-
sation the exercise. And all things are
strengthened by exercis S the mind by
conversation. There We Ike off the dus,

opinions are confirmed or corrected by the
good opinions Of others points are argued,
doubts are resolved, difficulties cleared,

Lift their cups to the sudden light

Seen by no ewes save His who reads

Fair white flowers OF faith and trust.

blossoms of love ro>e-iinted and bright,

That is the epitaph Of many a man be-

we'll as his prototypes. Esau was hungry,
and soup looks good to a starving man. But
for him who has no temptation, save cupid
ity have least respect. prefer Esau be-
fore Jacob IN that act of sale and purchase,
but honor neither. But when man has
enough and 10 spare. and then steals widows
houses and farmers lands, he is beneath
contempt. Hunger is legitimate conse-
quence of life but cOvetousness is an llle
gitimate child Of death. He who sells his
virtue for price, his word Of honor for
the baub!e of honor, the things God loves
for the things devils cutch-w hatsoever the
price-that man sells himself for less than
lentl soup The blame of Ahab is that he
was initialy covetous-covetous even more
than his wicked wife who supplied him with
brains. 1t was not Jezebel who first coveted
Naboth's vineyard. She suggested how to
steal it,
Many's the man in these days who sells

Is POVERTY FAULT?
Blessed is that man who will sell anything
sooner than himself! There is but one real
selling-out, and that is the barter of man

GETTING BOTH ENDS OF THE TRADE.

rs. 5. Lesson. Aug. 80. /. Kings xNii-lo,l
The grave difficulty with business and
politics to-day is quite the same that ii was
in the time of Jezebe. The man who is
anxious TO own all that joins him, often does
not stop to examine ways or means. He is
fond of ways that are dark and tricks that
are vain. If he can't achieve with fair play,
foul play comes quite as natural 10 him.
There is a vast deal Of forgetfulness of the
fact that fair trade is what benefits him
who buys as well as him who sells, and to
take a man by the throat VINO thinks he
won't SELL is the most Infamous invasion
OF personal rights.
But infamous as are 'eorners" and water
ing stock and other popular forms Of rob
berry in the name Of trade and traffic, more
infamous vet is robbery in the name Of re-
ligion which is not infrequently practised
by pecuators as well as BY spectators.
When ooyetousness gets possession Of man,
there is no crime ofwhich he will be IN
capable
THE DULINESs OF DULL TOOLS.
Many men are only moderately devlish,
who would be thoroughbred devils, If they
had wit enough. Ahab hadn't Jezehers wit,
bu, he was ready enough to profit by her
prostitution Of religion to robbery and
murder. When the devil wants to escape
contempt for cowardice and stupidity, he
seeks 10 use brains as bright as Jezebel' 5
instead Of skulls as thick as Ahab's. A
stupid devil does less mischief. but the
fool Of a devil is brighter than the devil
OF a fool. Wit is to be admired even when

A Remarkable French Story.

A French writer tells this remarkable
incident of the French-Prussian war: A
young officer of the French army was
suspected of being a spy. One night
MS house was surrounded by German
soldiers. Seeing that capture was in
evitable, he handed bundle of secret
dispatches to his ten year-old brother,
with instructions to bury them. and
under no circumstances tell where they
were. Soon after the young officer
was captured, together with his father.
AS the dispatches could not be found
on the person of the prisoners. search
was made for them. The little boy
did not deny concealing them, but re-
fused to reveal the place. His father
and brother told him to remain firm,
even though they should he killed be-
fore his eyes. Next morning the pris-
oners were led out to be executed.
The boy still refused to tell where the
dispatches were. just then a terrible
expression of agony passed over his
face. The boy opened his mouth; q
torrent of blood poured out of it. In
vestigation showed that he had bitten
off his tongue, SO great had been his
temptation to speak and save his
father and brother.-I0ledo Blade.

is that so very wonderful and unique an

THIBETAN COSTUMES.
How the Inhabitants of the Asiatic Table
Lands Dress.

The men wear the tchru ba, long
and thick wooden robe, sheepskin in
winter. descending down till it would
drag considerably on the ground if let
loose 1t is doubled well across the
chest and front till the ends or edges
almost meet the shoulders, where one
edge is fastened under the right arm
with tape or string bow. In dressing,
the man, having on his tchru ba hang
ing loose about him, holds his sash or
belt about on level with the knees. or
little above them. and this he draws
in to make gather, and then the
belt, with all the robe above it, is drawn
up and the belt fastened round the
waist. This leaves large pouch, of
course, falling over the belt all round,
and leaves the foot of the robe about
half way between the knee and the calf.
Into the pouch so formed they put any
thing they have to carry, such as their
tsam pa cup, and even little dogs, and
sometimes little pigs. At night before
lying down to rest they take off their
boots and belt. and with these make q
pillow. Then they judge their distance
from the pillow" and kick that part
of their robe (now trailing on the
ground after removing the belD which
they intend to lie on toward the ''pil-
low," thus by kick converting one
side of their tchru ba into a mattress,
and by this arrangement leaving them
selves still the other side of the robe to
act as a complete bed-covering on
lying down; and all without unGress-
ing. Only the rich indulge in carpet to
sleep on, and rich people sometimes
use a Chinese carpet. The above system
of bed-making is almost universally
practiced throughout Thibet. or at all
events throughout eastern Thibet.-
