woman IS making It lively TOT those Wno
 have the distribution of offices in Washing
 ton. It is said that there were never so many
 women applying for office in Washington, as
 now. They are not, as rule, applicants for
 very important positions, the desk of copy
 ist seeming to be the ultima thule of their
 ambition. But as to persistence, no male
 office seeker has half as much. The cabinet
 officers and heads of bureaus are very much
 perplexed as to how to get rid of those they
 are unable to provide for.
 A correspondent of the Boston Transcript,
 writing of the exclusion of colored delegates
 from the Episcopal council at Lynchburg,
 Virginia, says: The discussion developed the
 fact that the advocates of exclusion were al-
 most without exception gray-haired men,
 some of them very old; men who grew up in
 an age when the Church WAS subservient to
 slavery. The valiant stand made by young
 Lloyd and bravely supported by his contem- poraries is 6 most encouraging evidence of great progress in public sentiment. It shows that the question is not settled, and ''unset- tied questions have no pity for the repose of nations" The gray boards, many of whom have suffered much In the revolution which has swept the land in thei= day, are fast leaving the stage; younger generation, growing up without their influence and their prejudices, will soon take their places.
 The floods along the Potomac have dis posed of one problem by damaging the Chesapeake and Ohio canal to the extent of about million dollars. It has been in a moribund condition for some years. The State of Maryland has about $7,G00, 900 in- vested in it, and besides there is nominally due the State $19, TIT, ,460.77 interest. The president of the canal recently completed his annual report for the purpose of submitting it to the stockholders at their annual meeting and pointed out that on the first of July $75,- 900 interest would be due on repair bonds out and that there was nothi ng to meet the payment. "The general impression," he wrote, s'is that the canal has reached the last stage of it's moribund condition and is now l in the hour and article of death" It is now announced that the canal will have to be ! abandoned and the affairs of the company ! wound up.

An interesting report presented at the meeting of the Brewers association gives table of the internal revenue receipts from fermented liquors from the time the tax was first imposed, in 1863, down to and includ- ing the last fiscal year. This shows that the receipts, which were something over mill lion and half of dollars for the year ending June 30, 1863, exceeded $5,000.00O in 1866, reached $10,000,000 and more by 1879, passed the fifteen million dollar point in 1882, and amounted to nearly S23, ,000, 900 for the year 1SS7-S. The quantity represented increased from 2.OO6, ,625 barrels, or 62, 2,2O5,- 375 gallons in 1863, to more than 10000, 900 barrels in 1878 and 24, ,6sO, ,219 in 1878. Dur ing the last fiscal year 2.516,s94 gallons of foreign malt liquors were imported into this
 country, while 395, ,424 dozen bottles of do-
 nestle beer and ale were exported, besides 146, 1926 gallons in casks.

Hereditary ElOpements.

"I am not prepared to say whether marriage in general is failure, but runaway marriages certainly are in one sense," said an old physician. "They are success in being initiated by several generations that follow. Many years ago an elopement was matter of great public interest, and was usually accom- panied by some thrilling incidents, such as pursuit by the angry father and possibly pitched battle between the
 young men and the girls male relatives. In this way some of the old time runa-
 way matches were impressed on my mind.
 You would be surprised if I were to show you the record of the descendants of some of these gay old couples. It seems to be a family trait in many in- stances, and the mania runs through several generations. I know one gentle man who has never forgiven one of his children for eloping, and yet he ran off with his bride thirty years ago, and there have been three or four similar escapades in the same family. His descendants will keep on running away until the mania wears itself out; it seems heredi- tary, and the children can no more help running away than they can help looking like their parents. .'-LouisuiUs Commer.

Feeding Honey Bees.

Natural bee bread is composed of the pollen from various species of towering plants. This bee bread is the chief food of the young bees while remaining in the cells, where they were matched from the egg. Good clean rye flour is now largely used as substitute for pollen, and this may be scattered near the hives on the stand where the workers can readily find it. It must, of course, be protected from rain and moisture. Honey is preferred to other sweets for feeding bees, but when it cannot be obtained pure sugar may be used as substitute. Take No. A or the best clarified sugar obtainable, and to every three pounds used add one quart of water. When the sugar is dissolved, boil and skim to remove all impurities. This syrup may be poured in one old empty comb and then inserted in the hive at night, or the syrup may be placed in shallow dish, with perforated float of wood laid on the top to enable the bees to get at it without falling in or getting their wings smeared. There are many styles of bee-f feeders in use, but almost any simple device may be employed that will insure the safety of the bees while feeding.-Neao Fork Sun.

Electric ShOal Water Indicator,

An electrical shoal water indicator has been devised by two Mexican invent ors. It consists of strong cylinder filled with shot, so that when hung by a cable from ship it will remain per- fectly upright in the water. Embed ded in its center is a glass or vulca- mite tube half full of mercury, the two ends being closed by metallic plates, which are in communication, by insu- lated wires carried by the cable, with an electric battery and bell on the deck of the ship. The action of tho apparatus; is as follows: When the vessel approach cs shallow water the cylinder drags on the ground below, and is consequently no longer upright, but is thrown on its side. This causes the mercury in the tube to touch both the metallic plates attached to that tube, as above explained !; the electrical circuit thus becomes con- plete, and the warning bell on the ship instantly rings.

The Mysterious Capital of Thibet,

One, and only one, of the very popu- lous centers of the worlds population still remains shut up from travel; that is the capital of Thibet. The peculiar religion of that country has had force enough to absolutely inclose Lhassa, the capital of the Dalai Lama, from all ap- proach. Only six or seven Europeans ever set foot in that city, and none of them are alive. But the famous Russian traveller, Prejevalsky, has made three at tempts, and is now about to make the fourth. On the third he was obliged to turn back after reaching within 20 miles of the city. From one alone of his ex- petitions he brought back 5000 speci- mems of plants, besides enormous col lections of fish, insects and animals one-fifth of the whole being new to science; so that his failures are in the highest degree successes. Fifty years ago one-half of the world was un- known ground.

Parents Ages and Children's Vitality.

In meeting of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, M. Joseph Korosi, director of the Budapest statistical bureau, read paper on "The Influence of Parents Ages on the Vitality of Chil- dren." This is a subject which has been hitherto but scantily treated in ethno- graphical statistics, but M Korosi has collected about 30, 900 data, and has come to the following conclusions Mothers under twenty years of age and fathers under twenty-four have children more weakly than parents of riper age. Their children are more subject to pull monary diseases. The healthiest chil- dren are those whose fathers are from twenty-five to forty years of age, and whose mothers are from twenty to thirty years old. M. Korosi says that the best marriages are those ia which the hus- band is senior to the wife; but wcr-an from thirty to thirty-five years old will have healthier children if her husband be somewhat younger than herself. A man from thirty to forty years old ought to take wife from twenty to thirty If the mother be five years older than the father the vitality of the children be. comes impaired.

The Iron Horse a Cats Homo.

Here is cheerful tale, vouched for by country newspaper: "An engineer on the Danville railway, between Danville, Ill.,, and Springfield, has cat that loves railroading. For several years the cat has journeyed with the engineer on his regular runs, usually sitting in the cab window before its master. Sometimes in fine weather it strolls out on the pilot, lies there for hours at stretch, blinking at the dogs that bark as the train thun- ders by. Sometimes it climbs to the top of the sand box and sits there undis- turbed by the shriek of the whistle or the clang of the bell. The cat used to belong to the engineers wife, who is dead, and he would not part with it for love or money"

occasions the toilet IS elaborated Dy ruD- ping the body with highly and not pleasantly scented oil, often mixed with tameric, to give tn, skin yellowish tint. The older custom of doing up the hair is still adhered to by those less ad vanced. This is pompadour extending straight up from the head from twelve to eighteen inches and surrounded by band at the centre, which gives them the appearance of carrying on their head sheaf of wheat. To give the hair an auburn or reddish hue, which is looked upon as being the proper caper, it is bathed daily in solution, of which lime is the chief ingredient. This makes it crisp and stiff, and helps the better to keep it in place. In Pang Pango the tub is still dolng duty for the mirror. Both men and women arc very fond of jewelry. They delight in decorating themselves in strings of shells, which, considering ther facilities, they succeed in bringing to high state of polish. For amusement the dance takes first place. Their dress ball is generally a daytime affair, and, differing from the evening party, is indulged ir by both sexes. The evening party is for the men only, though women are always in at tendance, as spectators, only. The dance consists of an irregular series of evolutions'more after the style of 'Si- mon says thumbs up," for what the leader does so do they all. The music is produced by men and women pound ing the ground with sticks and clubs and chanting, regardless of concert or time, mournful, soulless dirge.
 The custom of marriage is similar to that of China; the girl having little, if anything, to say about the matter, so long as her parents are satisfied with the would-be son-in-law. The festivities attending tho ceremonies consist of eat ing. drinking and merrymaking and the exchanging of presents, the latter always of the greater moment. If in few weeks the pa,ties interested are dissat- is6ed the wife is at liberty to go home to her mother, and social circles find in the act little to excite it's curiosity. If the bonds have held we'll for a few years and then become distasteful the matter is quietly discussed, and with an equal distribution of the property the wife leaves the matrimonial roof, never, while her husband is alive,
 to marry another. If her husband was chief or of high rank she can, upon his death and with the consent of his family,
 join fortunes with another. A widow becomes the lawful property of her brother in-law. Before the introduction of Christianity polygamy was practiccd, -Chicago Herald.

Mysterious Washington Strangers.

Every season, with regularity that is astonishing, there comes to the surface in Washington some person or persons whose advent seems to have been made up with but one aim-that of gaining admittance to the best houses in the city, and after vague hints thrown out as to the wealth and position enjoyed by them in the locality from which they profess to have come, they are success full in obtaining a sort of footing of in timacy, and are included in the list of guests invited everywhere. In this way the strangers manage for brief season to keep themselves we'll before the pub lie. Then suddenly society begins to bestir itself in the matter; inquiries arc made; some one with friends in the city from which the strangers give names of estimable sponsors are written to. The facts are discovered, the bubble bursts, and the strangers decamp as suddenly as the come.
 This season the mysterious stranger has appeared in the person of an attrac- tive e'middle-aged woman, who is always dressed with quiet elegance which is irreproachablc. She has by some method engineered so skilfully as to become thoroughly we'll known in society, where her well-bred manners render her decided favorite. Unfortunately for her the lady was unwise enough to men, ton as among her lifelong intimates the names of several prominent families in one of the leading cities of the North. Had the families mentioned been of less prominent standing the matter would doubtless have been allowed to stand, but they have been written to on the matter, and because of the unsatisfactory answers obtained the lady now finds herself received in freezing manner where heretofore she has been welcomed as a favored guest.-Ne,o Yoak Times

''Public lectures have gradually lost their popularity during recent years, but there are indications, the Atlanta Con- stitmtion thinks, ''of a revival. It will be easier to find lecturers now than it was 20 years ago, because less is, now demanded of a speaker. Formerly a lecturer was required to have voice, and he had to let 1t out enough to make his words intelligible to his audience; but now an inaudible humble is the fashionable style. IL is bad form to speak loudly and distinctly. If lec- turer makes himself heard by the front TOW he is doing very we'll. If he fills tho hall with his voice and electrifes his hearers cultured circles will have noth- ing to do with him. In oratory, as in literature, what we want these days is not meat but mush."

Puget Sound lumbering is the oldest

Puget Sound lumbering is the oldest, most profitable and most actively prose- cuted industry of that part of the Pacific coast, employing as it docs a capital of over $60, 900, 900 and thousands of men. Six or eight combined and wealthy saw mill companies virtually control it, own ing their own timber lands, ships, stores and the town sites upon which their mills are located, the dwellings of which arc simply rented to their employees. They govern not only the price of the manu- factured article, but the amount that shall be manufactured and the price that shall be paid for loggers and logs. These are mainly of red fir, the trees often at ta.ing height of over 200 and diam- eter of eight to ten feet, single logs ire quently yielding over 16,OO0 feet of manufactured lumber.

Lii Hung Chang, the Premier of China, is reported as saying: "Before half q century has passed China will be cov- cred with railways as with & net. Its immense mineral resources will be de- veloped. It will have rolling mills and furnaces in many parts of the country, and it is not impossible that it may do the manufacturing for the world" The viceroy is exceedingly sanguine, but there IS no immediate reason for Ameri- can and European manufacturers being frightened at the prospect of the compe- tition of the Flowery Kingdom. A place once lost IS rarely recovered. The Chi nese were once the leaders of the world, and fell behind in the race It is not likely that they will again take the lead.

The Government, of course, im- its the amount of legal issue and sees to it that the proper reserves are maintained to secure the bills put out.

Celery as Cure Tor Rheumatism.
 Celery is the latest cure for rheuma- tism. It is asserted that the disease is impossible if the vegetable be freely eaten. The fact that it is so generally put on the table raw prevents its thera- peutic powers from being known; The celery should be cut into bits, boiled in water until soft and the water drank by the patient Put new milk, with>a fit- tic flour and nutmeg, into saucepan with the boiled celery serve warm, with pieces of toast, cat it with potatoes and the painful ailment will soon yield. Such is the declaration of physician who has again and again tried the ex- pertinent and wi uniform success.
