How Washington Keeps Cool.

Domestic life has been adapted to hot
weather here as nowhere else. In the first
place every thrifty housewife begins in
May to prepare for hot weather. The
carpets are all taken up and packed away
from the moths, cool straw mattings are
placed on the floors, or more frequently
the floors are neatly stained and left bare,
the portieres are slowed on tho closet
shelf and inviting linen covers put on all
the upholstered furniture. The whole
winter aspect Of the house disappears,
more air is admitted through the curtain
less windows. awnings are put over sunny
doorways and in the larger dooryards
rustic seats are placed in the shadows Of
overhanging vines and shrubbery. A sup
ply Of low seated, wickerwork chairs,
with bows of bright colored ribbon effec-.
lively tied 70 their backs. are brought out
on front stoops at nightfall and strips of
carpet are spread from the top step to the
sidewalk. II is here the family gathers
as soon as the sun goes down, and late
into the night until the almost unfailing
southern breeze springs up, nearly all
Washington may be found on the door
steps. s.--Washington Cor. Providence

We laugh at tho immense hoops, the

fashions will appear quite as ridiculous to
our grandchildren. Regarded from dis
passionate point of view, could anything
be more absurd than the women of the
day with their immense bustles, like the
humps on the backs of dromedaries, ris-
ing abruptly from waists like those of
attenuated wasps, and shoulders dis
torted by the compression Of the corset2
Ridicule Is Of no avail appeals to common
sense are just as useless. and unless the
woman of the future isSl very different
being from the woman of the past and
present, hideous, uncomfortable and in
furious fashions will reign with just as
despotic sway as they have ever done.
We are so swathed in the garments of
conventionality that our forms, com
pressed and distorted out Of all semblance
OF symmetry, appear to US as beautiful as

woman,s Rights in France.

Some millions of Frenchmen have re-
ccived a shock; not an electric nor an
earthquake one. 1t belongs to the moral
order of phenomena, but it has none the
less spread CONSERVATION. The highest
court In France--the Cour de Cassation--
whose fu- stion is to decide knotty ques
tions Of law by direct appeal to the
moral principles from which all laws are
In theory derived, has declared that man,
having promised marriage to O woman,
incurs the liability to pay her pecuniary
indemnity in the event of his refusing to
keep his promise. The shock is contained
in this decision, for which the public
mind was quite unprepared. A breach has
be impregnable and everlasting, aud
through this breach it is feared the whole
army of Frenchwomen win march, feathers
and ribbons flying, and that they will re-
fuse to lay down their arms-there are no
longer distaffs--until new revolution
has been proclaimed in favor of their sex.
Breach of promise cases in other coun-
tries, especially in England, have hitherto
proved an inexhaustible mine of humor to
the French journalists. They have told
us again and again that the principle Of
assessing pecuniary indemnity for SEN
timental damage may seem natural
enough to John Bull, to whom time is
always money. including the time spent
in unsuccessful love making, but that it
is much too revolving to the instinct of
Frenchmen for it ever to be admitted in
judicial practice here. Revolving to
Frenchmen the principle undoubtedly is,
but not 81 to Frenchwomen. They hold
that all weapons that can be used against
the male who profits in many ways by the
unfair division of power between the
sexes are good to keep In reserve.--Paris

Horace greeley in California.

Greeley was revelation to California

tor appeared on the scene from the over
land trip in the carly fall think 1t was
in 1860. He had been advertised to speak,
and went direct from the stage coach to
the hall, where large audience was i'm
patiently awaiting him.
Without removing his hat, which
perched as usual on the back of his head,
Mr.. Greeley, in his long white overcoat,
strode down the aisle amid thunders Of
applause. Still keeping his hat upon his
head, he was introduced to the chairman
of the meeting, and turned to speak. As
he did so he took off his hat, but began
talking as he did SO, and not knowing ex-
actly where to place it, put it on the desk
bNere him. The sight of this uncouth,
odd, earnest man, queerly garbed. with
odd gestures, instructing and entertain
ing large mass of his fellow men for an
hour and half, was most suggestive.
As he proceeded, warming with his sub
iect, continuing his talk, he took off his
overcoat. and tossed 1t on athair In the
rear.
He made a great hit, with the old timers,
especially, and during his brief stay was
lionized to his hearts content. l say to
his hearts content because there was a
great deal of human nature in Greeley.
lie was much more partial to praise, and
much more easily affected by 1t than many
people imagine. .--Joe Howard in Once O

He went to school next In London, read
all the British poets with delight, and

him for model and records as great

At the age of 81 his productions began to

chiefly of revising and correcting, Yet
his later works show ripper thought and
rather more culture than his earlier
John Dryden died in 1900, soon after
Pope saw him. and in the reaction follow
ing the revolution of 1858 injustice was
done him; yet Pope never ceased to ac-
knowledge his Indebtedness. Dryden
wrote twenty seven plays. yet only two
OF them are now mentioned; but every
thing of Pope's, revised by himself, is as
popular as il was century ago. In Eng

praised and extensively read; in the

can give, on call, any passage from Dry

more and more chaste and severe for FIVE
generations. so the works of Dryden have
slowly receded TO second and third place,
and still farther down the list, while
those of Pope are quite as familiar in
good families as they were when Johnson
stood behind a screen in nobleman's hall

A Natural SOaD Well.

A natural soap well has been discov-
cred sixty eight miles west of Buffalo
Gap, ID. T. The soap is skinned from a
boiling spring and hardens by exposure
to the air, 1t is like soft clay, and can be
gathered with shovel. and is supposed
to be mixture of alkali, borax and the
lubricating oil found in many parts Of
Wyoming, A sample has been t-sted by
prominent Chicago soap manufacturer,
and he reported the discovery worth the
full weight of the manufactured article.
Parties surrounding the springs have
used the natural article as axle grease
by adding little of the oil discovered
there, and it is pronounced the finest ma
terial ever used for that purpose. Tho
soap will wash in tho hardest of water
and leave the hands much softer than
the or nary article. The supply is sup
posed to be inexhaustible.-- Brooklyn

its rocky bed, what would our conception

not obscured by that OF his immediate sue
cessors, Johnson, Goldsmith, Addison,
Swift and the wits Of Queen Anne's reign.
Coming between the brilliant but gen
orally Immoral dramatists Of the restora
tion era and the age OF johnson, Pope's
fame has not been dimmed by the luster
of either -
The reason generally assigned Is that
Pope took time to polish and improve his
verse, while Dryden wrote TO satisfy i'm
mediate necessities and was therefore com
PEELED TO write whatever the popular taste
at the time called for. Dryden was not a
dramatist, yet the age of Charles III de.
manded dramas, and he had to subordin.
ate his natural tendencies to that demand;
the result was number Of hybrid pieces
in which exquisite bits of poetry appear
hero and there In elaborate dramas, the
general plan Of which is scarcely above
the ridiculous. What could be more alb
surd, for instance, than the general plan
Of "The Hind and the Panther" A milk
white hind and ferocious panther, typi-
flying two great religious bodies, meet
apart from the herd and discuss the real
presence In the eucharist. the British ref
ormation, the right Of private judgment
and apostolical successionl
Another contrast between the two is
still more striking Dryden. born and
reared Puritan, became Catholic and
employed his talents in favor of Charles
ii and James II; Pope, born and reared a
Catholic, resolutely refused to change his
religion when ii would have been vastly
TO his advantage to do so. The life and
writings Of both show too plainly that
their religion had little influence upon
their daily walk and conversation" yet
II Is easier to believe that Pope had a
deep and abiding principle which Dryden
lacked, and that the favor of the court
merely changed the latter from a poor
Protestant into worse Catholic.
Ii is also TO be noted that Pope revised
all Of his productions and rewrote some
Of them many times, striking out as the
experience of popular criticism for years
suggested. and yet his was not long
life. for he was born In 16SS and died at
Twickenham, Middlesex, May 30, 17ii.
