One OF Washington's Lobbyists.

A "hne figure of q woman" as Joe
Gargery observes in Great Expecta-
tions," passes by, sweeping under gar
niture of silk and genuine seal fur with
as broad spread Of canvas rs the yachts
Puritan or Volunteer. Her age prob
ably ranges between 40 and 45, her
figure is particularly embonpoint, but
her face is rosy with health, and her
features still preserve the stamp of
beauty. Her eyes are big and gray,
scintillating under the flashes of dark
eye-lashes and brows, and were her
attire less pronounced she would be
styled elegant. This lady enters the
reception room, and sends her card to
several members. who atonce respond,
and soon she is surrounded by coterie
of conscript fathers. vying with each
other in playing the gallant. She jests
and Jokes with them all, inviting them
10 call at her residence, and having
paid her cards adroitiy leaves the Cap
tol in well appointed coupe with
driver in livery. Sometimes she is ac-
companied by her daughter, a pretty
girl of Is, aud splendid type of the
blonde.
This lady is professional lobbyist,
and phys her vocation with marked
success. Whispers in the air are heard
occasionally in criticism of her private
character from those of her own sex,
bat neither man nor woman has ever
brought forward an accusation direct
aud positive. SO far as is generally
known. She has had her fingers, how
ever, in many a Congressional pie,
whereof she received slice of greater
or lesser proportions, and no one is
more thoroughly posted in the avenues
and channels of legislation. She OBJ
tains copy of every bill introduced
and of the reports thereon, and if the
game be worth the candle, hunts up
its history and parentage. Then
when the case is thoroughly dIgested
she offers to make or mar, as the case
may be, wherever the best financial
opportunity is presented, and her
efforts are usually attended with sue
cess She is shrewd, and gathers honey
from every houey-bearing flower

An Important Invention.

One of the biggest little inventions
Of recent date is the slotted sewing
machine needle, patent for which
was taken out short time ago by a
woman 20 years of age. 1t does en-
tirely away with the old process OF
threading by twisting the end of the
thread to a fine point and thrusting it
at the needles eye until by some
chance it happens to strike the mark.
This new invention in domestic econ
omy mas beveled slot in one side of
the eye through which tie thread slips
as easily as Il nickel drops into the
slot OF weighing machine or lung
tester. A blind old grandmother need
not have the slightest difficulty In sew
ing now. Nothing could be simpler
than the slotted needle, and all who
see it wonder why it wasn't thought of
years ago. The inventor told me the
other day that it cost $50, 900 to make
the experiments which resulted in pro.
ducing precisely the kind of slot
which, while readily admitting the
thread TO the eye, prevents it at the
same time from slipping out in the
operation of sewing. What boon
this will be to our mothers and wives
may be easily realized when it is un.
derstood that one sewing machine
company alone in New Jersey turns
on: every month over 1000, 900 needles.

The Power of Beauty.

AIaa Katherine Green, the author
esq, writes: "1f beauty is SO potent,
why does it SO often fail to yield its
possessor that fruition which is GER
tainiy promised by its rarity and dis
tinction. First, because beauty alone
dazz.es, but does not hold, and, second
", because there is a charm which
does hold-a charm so potent that if
ink ati TO beauty it makes that beauty
Irresistible, and, if linked TO ugiiness,
is even capable. as l have before hint
ed. of rendering that very ugliness at
tractive, if not positively Noteworthy.
This charm is usually designated by
the word manner, but its name should
be soul.
For, while manner is more or less
the result of training, the allurement
If which | speak owns different
source than any which can come from
mere surface finish. For it has birth
% the individuality, in that essence OF
being which infuses character into the
speech, the look, and even into the
pose of 4 person. And so it is that we
see coarse-featured but nobly speaking
women filing places to which poetry
and art would delegate only the beau
tifui; and in the wives of our most sue
cessful and honorable men we discover
women of fine minds, loving natures
and sparkling wit, but oftener than
not of diminutive figure, pallid COM
plexion or inharmonious features.
In my life | have known many
women well. Among them is fair
majority of what the truly apprecia-
tive would call happy, for which fact l
thank God, as it has helped me to take,
on the whole hopeful view of life as
well as of human nature. Now, are
these women, blessed as many of them
are with devoted husbands, cheerful
homes, cultivated society and leisure
for the exercise of any special talent
they may possess, beautiful women?
With one or two exceptions, no. In
deed, more than few of them are
positively plain, if features only are
considered, while from the rest | can
single out but two or three whose
faces and figures conform to any of
the recognized standards of physical
perfection. But they are loved, they
are honored, they are deferred to.
Their days pass in an atmosphere OF
peace and goodwill which is as far
above the delirious admiration accorded
TO the simply beautiful as the placid
shining of the sunbeam5 is to the phe
nomenal blaze of an evanescent flame.
OF the beautiful women have known

SURGERY At BELLEVUE.
Remarkable System of Precaution OBJ
served by Practitioners There.

bellevue knows not pus" is the
proud boast of the great hospital in
New York city. Perhaps this is not
literally true. but it is nearly so, and
it is made possible by the most remark
able system of precaution that can well
be imagined. 1t is almost true that
Bellevue is scrubbed with antiseptics.
The floors are sprayed with such pre-
par ions, surgeons and attendants
wasi to the elbows in antiseptics when
an oneration is to be performed, and
instruments are kept for hours in an
antissptic bath.
Should an instrument be dropped on
the floor it is kicked from the room and
another from the antiseptic bath is used
IN its place. The towels of the hos
pilais are washed in antiseptics and
kept from the air, lest germs of disease
reach them. When brought out for
use they are sprayed over with antisep-
ties, and when a wound is bound the
towels are piled on several inches
thick. that germs from the air might
be intercepted. A mangled hand is
scrubbed with antiseptics and bound
with several bandages.
Operations that were scarcely known
a few years ago are performed almost
weekly at Bellevue. A western physi-
elan who spends short time each year
studying his profession in the hospitals
of New York says that he finds at each
visit some operation that was not at
tempted before. He sees the progress
of surgery here with astonishment.
Thos,gh he may have read in medical
journals of this or that new operation,
the sight of it comes to him like a re-
yelation.
There is a popular belief that Ameri-
"a is far from the old world in surgery,
out a resident physician of foreign
birth declares that no country per-
forns daring and successful opera
ions with the frequency with which
lhey are performed here. The Ameri-
can surgeon, when a difficult opera
ion is to be performed, often precedes
it by similar operation upon dead
subject. So does the French surgeon,
but the latter often approaches the liv-
ing subject with nervousness, while
the American surgeon is as cool in one
case as the other The same physi-
elan owns that Germany does many
wonderful things in surgery, and
thinks The study of her progress highly
valuable. e.-NeU York Telegram.
