Etiquette at Washington has undergons
some curious developments. The ladies of
the cabinet and the ladies of the senate are
quite as important factors on ceremonial oc-
casions as the men of the cabinet and the
senator's. Formerly, at the beginning of
each session Of congress, the head of each de-
partrnent must pay a visit to each senator;
but john Quincy Adams declined to be bound
by the custom, asserting in pithy letter that
the government of the United States was for
the transaction Of business, and not to pay
formal visits to senators or other persons
The effect was greatly to reduce the btStlen
of Washington etiquette.-St. Louis Globe

LESSON N

The interval between the preaching
tour of the twelve and the occurrences
at CRSarea Philippi covered several
months. During this period our Lord
made a number of journeys, the pu--
pose of which is not in every s un-
derstood, but which stand closely re-
lated to the remarkable change in pop
ular opinion manifesting Itself in Cali
lee at the beginning of the last year of
our Lords ministry.
How long a time the disciples spent
in their preaching tour we do not know.
During their labors Herod heard of
Jesus, and deemed him John the Bap-
fist risen from the dead MARK 6 IA
ICY. The murder of the Baptist seems
to have occurred but a short time be-
fore MARK 6 !: 1920. On the return
of the disciples POSSIBLY also on oc-
count of the death OF john our Lord
Withdrew with them to find rest Mark
6 : 80, 81; but the multitudes followed
to the east side Of the lake. and there
were miraculously fed MARK 6 : 80
AL. The crowds wished to make him
a king John 6 7: 15), but he sent away
the disciples while he himself with
drew. During the stormy night our
Lord rejoined his disciples, walking on
the water to overtake them MARK 6 !:
1852. Reaching the other shore, a
number of miracles were wrought
Mark 6 : $3.50; but the chief Incident
was a discussion at Capernaum which
turned the tide of popularity John 6 I:
Oe T1N from fbio fipoa IN uorI tho n
position in Galilee was pronounced. A
conflict with the Pharisees Mark 7 : l.
23) led to a withdrawal to Tyre and
| Sidon, where the interview with the
| Sy%rophenician woman occurred MARK
Z : 24-30). BY a circuitous route our
Lord then journeyed to the east side OF
the lake. performing a gradual mir
acle, narrated by Mark only MARK Z i:
3l-37). In the same region a second
| miracle of fAding occurred MARK 8 !:
10y, after which there was a return TO
the west side of the lake, where fresh
opposition met them MARK s d: 1912.
Recrossing to the neighborhood of east
|ern Bethsaida. the discourse about
Heaven was uttered MARK s /: 1921,
followed by another gradual MIRACLE
peculiar to Mark Marx 8 22-26).
Thus Galilee was virtually against
our Lord. The account Of Matthew is
parallel, and presents no additional in
lcidents, except the attempt Of Peter to
walk upon the water Matt. IA 2S-31).

Sometimes a lawyer has some very
queer clients to deal WITH" casually
remarked a lawyer who has an office in
the Garfield building, Brooklyn, to a
reporter a few days since.
81 think the strangest client l ever
had" continued the disciple OF Black
stone, ''was one l met while p%racticing
in New York. There vas a man

tanned to defend him. The case. |
must say, vas strong against him, but
I succeeded in getting him of, and he
paid ne Just $500 for my services. 1t
W s about a year later that 1 sat in my
office when the acquitted burglar en-
tered. recognized him in a moment
and greeted him cordially. OF course
1 had an idea he was In trouble again
and wanted me to help him out. When
| gave HIM a chair he had hardly seated
himself before he exclaimed that he
wanted $50, and he wanted me to give
1t TO him. For a moment 1 thought he
was going to rob Inc in my " office,
but I mustered courage and asked him
what he wanted it for.
"'Ask me no questions he replied,

Ii l succeed l will pay you back If l
don't you will lose Just S5O.'
81 considered for a little while and
finally concluded to give it to him. l
did So. and he hurried out of my office.
"Three mornings afterward the
morning papers told of a daring bank
robbery in Name. and the description
of one of the suspicious characters who
had been seen in the neigbborhood OF
the bank tailed with my client. 1t
struck me forcibly at first. but | soon
forgot it. Three months later | re-
ceived a package from Australia by
express and it contained Just $500.
With it was a note which read : Here

vancing him the money, and l doubt
whether l would let him have any

HE WASHED THE TIGER.
Fools Go In Where Wiser Me Dare
Not Venture.

When i'ezun, the lion-lamer, was at
Moscow With his menagerie, he had
occasion to employ u moulik. a line
specimen .! IA Cossack. to clean out the
cages OF the wild beasts. The Cossack
did not understand a word Of French,
and tie terms of the contract were set
tied in dumb show. BY way of in.
structlng him in his new duties, Pezon
went through a sort OF pantomlne with
the broom, sponge and water bucket.
The mouiik watched him closely, aud
appeared fully to understand the details
of the lesson given. Next morning,
armed with a broom. a, bucket and a
sponge, he opened the first cage he
came to, and quietly stepped In, as he
had seen his master step, on the pre-.
vious day, into two cages Of harmless
brutes; but this one happened to be
tenanted by a splendid but untamed
tiger, that lay stretched on the floor
fast asleep.
At the noise made by opening IL
closing the door the creature raised his
head, and turned its green eyes full on
the man, who, all unconscious of his
danger. stood in a corner dipping his
big sponge into the bucket.
AT that moment PeZon came ont OF
his caravan, and vas struck dumb by
the terrible sight that met his gaze.
What could he do to warn the man of
his danger. A sound, a movement on
his part might enrage the great beast,
and hasten its attack on the defenseless
Cossack. So PeZon stood, awaiting
developments, ready to rush to the
scene when the crisis came.
The moujik, sponge in hand. coolly
approached the tiger. and made ready
to rub him down with the stolidity Of
a military bootblack polishing his cap
tain's boots.
The sudden application Of cold water
to It's hide evidently produced a very
agreeable effect on the tiger for it began
to purr, stretched out Its paws, rolled
over on its back, and complacently
offered every part of its body to the
vigorous treatment of the mouiik, who
went on scrubbing with might and
main.
AL the while Pezon stood there with
his eyes wide open, and as if nailed to
the spot.
When lie had finished his job, the
Cossack left tie cage rs quietly as he
had entered it, and it required the most
energetic and expressive gestures on
the part Of the lion-tamer to prevent
his repeating the experiment on a sec
| ond wild beast.

4 RAILROAD WRECK.
EIGHT PERSONS KILLED AND THIRTY
INJURED.
THREE CARS BREAK THROUGH A
BRIDGE,


BRIDGE.
ST. GEORGE, ONT, Feb. 27.-The
st. Louis express, passing here east
bound about 6 O'Clock tonight, went
through the bridge just east of the
station. A broken tire on the engine
caused the rails to spread, and the first
passenger car, the Pullman car and
dining car went through the middle
section of the bridge.
The Pullman car, containing the
most passengers, was thrown clear Off
the bridge, turning completely over and
lighting right side up. The dining car
stands on and against a pier, and the
passenger cars remain on the bridge,
having stripped the ties ahead of 1t
over the section that collapsed. About
thirty wounded have been taken out
and eight or ten dead.
The train consisted of five coaches,
baggage, passenger, smoking, Pullman
and dining cars. As near as can be
ascertained, the accident happened in
the following manner: The p~iston.rod
broke just as the train passed the
station, causing the rails to spread.
AS 1t proceeded tile engine, tender and
smosing-car crossed the bridge in
safety, but Just as the passenger coach
was near the centre of the bridge the
terrible affair occurred.
The fireman, it appears, noticed that
all was not right and jumped, receiving
a yer scalp wound. The passenger
car went over the bridge, turning a
somersault and landing fatty. The
Pullman remained on the bridge. The
dining car contained about eve PEG
pie besides the walters Supper had
Just been announced, and In a few
minutes the car would have teen filled,
and all must have persisted.
