Cinnamon in a rnrI. rheatro,

At tho Chatelet theatre, in Paris, there is
an imperative rule that no man shall DO nd
mitted to the foyer unless wearing hat,
either Of the "stovepipe" or 'derby" style.
The other evening two Cinnamon, attaches
OF the Chinese Embassy, went there in their
national dress. Between tho acts thoy tried
togo with the crowd into the foyer. But the
gendarme at the door stopped them. They
could not understand word Of French, nor
be Of Chinese. But they understood the
musket with which he barred their path.
For minute tboy stood there, vainly chat
tering in tho choicest dialect of Pekin. Then
a.svolunteer interpreter came up and e1-
planned TO them that their caps were objected
to. II they wanted to enter the foyer they
raust put on stovepipe hats. But they had
none, they said; and, moreover, these caps
we're worn by everybody at homo. They
.were in China what the stovepipe hat was in
France. So they argued, and at last pre-
vailed upon tho guard to let Thorn pass. He
ought to have insisted upon their procuring
stovepipe hats. Cinnamon dressed in full
Chinese costume and crowned with stovepipe
hats would have been q spectacle for gods
and men to gaze at.-The Argonnut.

Washinrton,s Private Entortainments.


There is fashion in ediblcs and drinks for
private entertainments, just as there is in
table decorations ind the attire Of the ladies
receiving. Cheese straws and sailed almonds,
which charmed as novelty when first intro
duced three or four years ago, still keep their
places on rcfreshment tables ct tens and other
afternoon receptions, but the latest craze is
for cafe frappe, of whose seductive, though
icy sweetness, ladies and gentlemen partake
in unlimited quantities ON the coolest days,
though largo urns filled with smoking bouil-
lon are usually at hand OF the same time as
the frozen coffee. Hot coffee is rarely seen
on rcfreshnlent tables, though tea is never
lacking, and chocolate is sometimes served.
The ''home goddess" pose has become very
popular, one young lady pouring chocolate
in her most becoming gown from q silver pot
at one of set Of tables glaring with fine sill
yer, glass and china, and fragrant witt,
roses, whilo another opposite her, in equally
enchanting attire, pours tea from golden
service, or draws it in Russian samovar Of
brass. Beside each fair one stands a vacant
chair for gentlemen only, sId go many q

To E.n1ore Ancient Rims.

The University of Pennsylvania is prepar-
Ing to send an expedition headed by Dr..
John P. Peters. to thoroughly explore the
ancient city of Sepharvaim, whose ruins are
to be found above Babylon, on the Eu-
pirates, almost directly west of Bagdad.
The city is better known under the name of
Pcrsepolis. 1t has been estimated that $780,
600 will be needed to cover tho necessary eS-
penses of carrying on digging for two or
tnree years; most of the sum has already
been raised. The time for tho starting of the
expedition has not yet been determined, and
sorae diplomatic communication with the
sultan of Turkey will first be necessary

The ARMY of sn,e1ter..

Tons Of snlelts are being sent daily from
Bath, Me-, to the New York and Boston mar
kets. The fishermen have erected village
of shanties on the ice in Back river, Arrow

ties, which are large enough to contain two
men and stove. A small hole is cut through
tbs thss 6tfelf III afe protected from The chilling
blasts by screens of cotton cloth stretched be-
tween two posts. When the weather is cold
they build bonflres on the ice to keep them
warm. Most any afternoon from seventy-five
to 200 men and boys make up the army Of

from four to five cents pound for what
they catch, and they earn from 81 to s. a
day each during the smelling season, which

one hair of every member of her family sewn

The custom of oiling boots and shoes to

since the shoeblacks find a way put a polish
over the olcaginous coat Only rubber shoes,
however, will keep out the snow water; but
to many rubber shoes are Objectionable, who
take tho alternative Of wearing tho noisome
heavy shoes. The cork sole protecting the
foot from the damp and chill Of the sidewalk
is evidently growing in favor. Felt inner

The stock market was less active to-day, but
it was somewhat irregular and highly feverish,
with special weakness in a few securities. The
result of the days toiling is to leave most OF
the list fractionaly lower than last night
There was considerably buying for London by
arbtrage dealers, and the tone OF the opening
was quite strong, but professionals were in
clined to resist the advance, ana further lines
of shorts we're put out all around the room
The declaration of a dividend on Western Union
had some little effect in rallying the list, but
the covering of shorts was the principal lever
by which prices were lifted in the afternoon.
The most severe pressure today was in trunk
line securities and Lake Shore was sufferer,
and tine attack upon Erie seconds was specially
noticeable Among the specialties Oregon
NAVIGATION made marked drop, though por-
tion Of the loss was afterward recovered. Chi
caro was a heavy seller of Changers, and this
aid much TO restrict the afternoon advance to
the small proportions which 1t attained. Total
