CHINESE sUPERsTITIONs.
Why the MonGolinn Persists In Sleeping With
His Head 10 the East.


His Head TO the East.
Ladies' Home Journal.1
1t has often been matter OF conjecture
why Chinaman should be so particular in
sleeping with his head toward the east.
When at home, or travelling, or visiting, the
Celestial, if among strangers, exercises no
little care to avoid sleeping in any other
position than the one which he has been
brought up to look upon as the most correct
and healthfuI to his mind.
According to the Chinese superstition it
is exceedingly dangerous to sleep with the
head toward the setting sun. The sleeper
might justly fear darkness, unhappiness and
death; that is, of course, if he is a believer.
From tine north comes coldness, loneliness
and barrenness, and to sleep with his head
in that direction would be to bring down
upon himself and family these products of
the pole.
The south signifies passing glory; limi-
tation of wealth, health and happiness.
Therefore, that is extremely undesirable.
But to the east-the source of the rising
sun in all its splendor-is where the Celes-
tial looks for all his good gifts. From it
come $50 he believes) light, lite. wealth and
happiness. No misery. or wretchedness, or
want can come from the glorious east, so he
must sleep with his head in that direction
in order to get the full benefit of the good
gifts which will come to him.
Often, in travelling, Cinnamon carry a
mariners pocket compass, in order that
when the time comes to retire, they NAV dis
cover which way to point their heads If
they make a mistake and sleep the wrong
way, they are likely to lose Just so much
health and happiness. With dead China
man this is reversed; for we believe that
after death the body has nothing to lose.
and the head. therefore, is placed before the
west

1t is Always More or Less luxurious to Take
Liquor Without Food.
New York Star.I
Any honest physician will admit that the
primary action of alcohol, the Indictment OF
body and mind to make their best effort, can
not be prolonged; in general the first dose ex-
cites mentally and quickens the circulation;
then !ollow relaxation and depression. If
vitality is so far exhausted as to require this
sharp recall, combine with the spirit some ab-
solute nutriment which will not tax the or
gans of digestion. Several are we'll known.
The gravy of beef cooked rare; a thick beef
steak broiled rare, deeply and closely scored
with sharp knife on both sides and then
squeezed between two platters or in lemon
press; the juice OF clans, fresh oysters,
broiled, roasted, or even raw; cup of cocoa,
or a glass of milk containing teaspoonful
of phosphates, glass of cocoa extract or
wine, some fine raisins or fresh grapes, some
chocolate eaten with fruit.
As soon as possible follow this with a
substantial meal of beefsteak or chops and
some bread aud fruit, ard rest as soon there
after as possible. Unless there is entire col
lapse it is unwise to depend upon the action
of stimulants. When it seems impossible
to avoid their use take also some digestible
bread, cracker or simple cake, and eat a
plain, nutritious meal as soon after as can
be received by the system. 1t is always
more or less injurious to drink liquor of any
kind without eating some substantial food,

ried. Senator Edmunds frequently rides
out with his daughters. He has good
horses, and sits erect Whatever be the gait.
He wears slouch hat when he rides, and
even his white beard cannot give him the
dignity on horseback that he holds in the
Senate. Senator Sherman rides OCCASION

men who get their open air exercise on

and both Mr.. aud Mrs. Representative Hit

thoroughbreds in his stables, and Don
Cameron has a number of good horses and
both he and Mrs. Cameron ride them. Mrs.
Cameron is a good rider. Her figure is

have not yet seen President Harrison on
horseback, and President Cleveland, though
he was a member OF the riding school. took
but few horseback rides. Arthur rode every
day, and James Buchanan used to go DASH
ing about Washington on horseback with
Harriet Lane Uncle Jerry Rusk. the Sec
retary of Agriculture, has tall Kentucky
horse which he rides almost daily, and he
sits his steed like Centaur. The Vice
Presidents daughters are all fond of horses,
and take their regular riding lessons. Vice
President Morton frequently rides out with
them. Secretary Blaine's daughters are
good riders, though doubt whether they
can manage their steeds as well as the
Bayard girls did. Blaine himself 1 have
not seen on horseback lately. Postmaster
General Wanamaker has mouse-colored
mare upon which he sometimes accompanies
his daughters in their rides.
SOME NOTED sTEEPLECHAsERs.
Two Of the most daring equestriennes of
the capital are Miss Ethel Chase Sprague,
the daughter of Kate Chase Sprague. and
Miss May McCulloch. Both of them sit
their horses as though they were q part of
then, and both of them can ride faster,
jump further and dare more than any girls
in Washington. Ethel Chase Snrague
learned to ride when sne was in short
clothes. Her father had number of Shet-
land ponies at his home at Narragansett,
ana she was one day discovered sitting on
it without bride after the other ponies in
the inclosure. She has had q number of
good horses since she has been riding in

COST OF woMENs DRESSES.

The Little Angels That Always Look Pretty
on $500 n Year.
New York Sum-
There are plenty of women who dress and
dress we'll on $500 year. but they don't
wear tailor dresses, or, if they do, one gown
in the course of two or three years is indeed
great luxury. They are rather the tasty,
observing, deft-handed little women who
trim and dye and make and remake their
dresses, with the aid of a seamstress, and
trim their own jaunty little hats from
models seen in the shop windows, and they
don't have their shoes made at all, but buy
them at the cheapest place they can find.
And those women are remarkably we'll
dressed and genteel-looking individuals, for
they usually have that happy knack of
wearing their clothes well, which is indeed
a gift of divine Providence quite as much
as is voice like the great diya's.
Five hundred dollars will give woman
of good taste and judgment handsome
dress each season, with its requisite accom-
paniment of gloves, bonnets and boots, and
enable her to look like lady born on all
occasions if she has the faculty of lending a
hand in the fashioning of her cheaper
gowns, remodeling the old ones, and direct.
ing the less expensive mantua makers in
the construction of travelling and street
gowns. And such a woman, despite her
reputation for extravaganza, could give any
man points on economy that would make
his head swim.

Latest Fad Among the Beauties Of the City
of the Strnits.

of the Strnits.
Detroit Free Press.1
Your Detroit maiden encounters a friend
on the street, in the stores, at church, in her
home-anywhere, everywhere-andi imme-
diately prefers a request for penny.
"a penny!" you exclaim. "My dear Miss
Dorothy, why. yes-of course. But w-what
in the world do you want of penny"
Then the merry maiden laughs and e1-
plains that when she gets around to an even
100 friends and extracts from each one OF
them the coveted penny, she darts into the
nearest jewelers. and buys friendship ring.
And what is a friendship ring?
Merely a ring of fine gold wire with
friendship knot" attachment. 1t sells for
81 and every one of them that you see on the
Detroit girls fingers represents 100 friends
who have been assessed 1 cent each. 1t
won't do to accept 10 cents eacn from ten
friends, or % cents each from a quartet of
friends. just one penny-only this and
nothing more-is the indispensably "swag-
ger" essence of the fad.

"The xylophone is generally looked upon
as modern instrument" said BROOKLYN
musician yesterday, "but the Chinese fang
hieng' corresponds with the instrument we
now use. 1t was made of 16 slabs of wood
of oblong shape and of equal length, but of
different thicknesses, laid on a wooden
frame. AS long ago as 1000 B. G. the
Chinese had an instrument made of 16
pieces of 'yu,' peculiar kind of stone
which polishes easily, is of beautiful color,
and gives out an extremely sweet sound
when struck. These pieces were hung on
a frame and toned to Chinese inter-
walls called "lu," Of which there were IL in
the compass of an octave. The instrument
was called 'ikang," and was played by
striking the stone with a wooden mallet. 1t
was only used in religious services, and was
considered sacred.
''The modern xylophone is now quite COM
mon. Formerly they were to be heard only
in some of the theaters. Now you find them

grade. get SIS for abe instruments make,

Washington, and she is not afraid to ride
anywhere. Her favorite horse at present is
big bay named Star, which Senator Fair
gave to her, and which she thinks is one of
the finest horses in the world. She knows
all about q horse, and she sometimes takes
care of Star herself, even to currying and
feeding him. Miss McCulloch sits horse
equally well and she rides out daily.
A number of our Southern girls are fond
of horses. Miss Lulie Eustis, the heiress of
the Corcoran estate, is splendid rider. She
is blonde, with rej-gold hair and eyes Of
turquoise blue, and she has ridden over the
long steeplechase course at Ivy City, water
jump and all. All of the Eustis family are
fine riders, and Senator Eustis could if he
would equal many of the younger riders of
the Capital. Senator Vance rides horseback
frequently.
A oNE-LEGGED RIDER.
Senator Butler, though he has but one
leg, is good borseman, and his daughters
are noted for their riding. The Butler es-
tate in South Carolina is in the country
and the Butler girls spend great part Of
their vacations in the saddle. Miss Annie
Aver is South American girl who looks
well in the saddle and is perfectly fearless.
Upon two occasions the horse has fallen
with her in jumping o rail fence, but she
kept tight hold on the reins and kept
her seat each time.
The little tots of the saddle are more nu-
merous than ever this season. You see
some little miss of six or eight perched on
high horse, with groom in livery riding
behind her. There is score OF babies un-
der 10 attending the Washington riding
school, among them little Marion Thurber,
daughter of Mrs. Jeanette Thurber, an ex-
cellent horsewomau. John Hays daughter
is another good rider. and Colonel Hay has
boy of IA who can sit horse we'll. Sena-
tor Hale's son, though he is still in short
trousers, likes his horseback ride, and there
is little girl of six named Folsom who
brings down the applause of the school when
she rides. She goes out with her maid and
she is perfectly fearless. The Misses Pot
ter, the granddaughters of Bishop Potter,
of New York, are other good horsewomen.
DASHING BABY RIDER.
As was going down P street yesterday I
saw little figure descending from the steps
of the Blaine mansion. She was in charge
of a maid and was starting out for the riding

The caterers have now advanced their
business to such point that they can serve
an admirable dinner in flstor apartment at
any hours notice and the diner cannot tell
that the meal was not cooked in the house.
Oysters are opened, packed in ice on plates,
precisely as they are to be served. cIamped

the table. Bouillon is also sent packed in
ice and SO are the creams and salads. Ter

Then it can be set on the table and served
exactly as it is at Delmonico's. Game is
prepared for the fire with card attached

The caterers have in a word solved the
problem of housekeeping made easy-but
not cheaply. Their prices are enormous
and the premium on laziness is in proper
ton.

OdUlueL TOue.
Secretary Fairchild had good horse, and
took turn in the country daily. Secretary
Whitney donned riding costume every
afternoon, and even Justice Lamar, who
was then Secretary of the Interior. pottered
around Washington on pot-bellied horse.
The President mounted a horse now and
then. and Mrs. Cleveland took some rides
from her country seat. Bayard was an
ardent horseman, and his daughters accom-
panied him in his rides across country. I
remember seeing Kate Bayard dashing
around the ring at the race track one sea-
son and leaping the hurdles and bitches of
the steeplechase.
SENATORS WIVES WHO RIDE.
The craze started then has since steadily
grown, and there are now 500 thoroughbred
saddle horses in Washington and fully 200
maidens are out riding every week. 1t
seems to me that the girls have better COM
plexions than they have ever had before,
and the sallow. doughy, pasty faces OF
Washington society are fast disappearing.
You will find no better complexion in the
world than that of Mrs. Senator Davis.
Her face is bea utiful one, and its skin is
as soft and fair as that of a baby, and her
cheeks shine with the roses of the fairest
maidens of Dublin. She has so much color
in them that people have charged her with
painting, but this is slander. She uses no
rouge and her only cosmetics are horseback
riding, good walking and love for oatmeal
porridge.
She is one of the finest looking equestri-
ennes of the capital, and her tall, Juno-llke
form. perfectly rounded, shows to good ad-
vantage in her riding costume of black
jersey. She has her own ideas about her
clothes, and her riding habit is made a la
princess, with double skirt, and it fits her
form like a glove. She does not wear
riding trousers, like many of the girls of
Washington, but she has a costume of her
own under this skirt which ends in high top
boots. She is good rider. and she has
a number of sisters among the Senator's
wives who sit their horses well. Mrs. Sem
ator Hawley learned to ride in England.
She has ridden after the hounds, can jump
as wide ditch as any woman in W ashing-
ton, and often rides out with her soldierly
husband
