is, in fact, sort of winter Newport.
Money is no object to them, and their
chief business in life is giving entertain
ments and going to other peoples
entertainments. The Washington
correspondent of the Chicago Times
referring to this matter, says:
A general impression has gone abroad to
the effect that anybody can obtain an en-
trance into Washington society, owing to
the necessarily mixed character of the
cosmopolite population here, but this is
not really true, although there is GER
tain basis of fact for the statement. Un-
doubtedly many persons of large means
do come hither, and, by the judicious use
of cash, secure social posit on; but what
city is there in this world to-day where
the same thing may not be accomplished
in the same manner? One thing only is
necessary in such case-that the wealthy
parvenu should leave the town where he
has made his money and go to another.
In Washington at this very time there are
people who have earned fortunes here in
trade, and who are anxious to be received
in the exclusive set, but they have not
succeeded because the shop is too much
in evidence, so to speak. In New York,
or in any other large city, they would
have much better chance. Thus mill
ionaire tradespeople from elsewhere mi
CRATE TO the capital, ana, by earnest Ell
fort and the employment of the mighty
power that money signifies, find their
way into the swim.
The proper thing to do, if you are
parvenu millionaire with social ambition
pre- sumably your wife and children will
have the ambition, and not yourself-is
to come to Washington and begin opera
tions by hiring fine house in the midst
of the most intensely fashionable quar-
ter. Money, it must be remembered from
the start, is no object; you are, of course,
prepared to spend your hard earned dol
lars like water in pursuit of the social
ignis fatuus. Accordingly you proceed,
after furnishing your house gorgeously,
to give a series of public entertainments.
You do not know anybody, and SO you in
vite everybody. The people you are really
anxious to get in with will not come; but
plenty of others will, among them many

with some bitterness, "and yet l am

was unfeignedly sorry for him and
told him so, but, though decidedly Gu
rious to know what misfortune had
compelled him to leave the beloved
country he had laid down so large a
fraction of his life to save, an innate
delicacy restrained me from question
ing him.
He was disposed to be communica-
tive, however, and proceeded: Il could
bear my sad lot with greater resigna-
tion but that now, upon the threshhold
of old age, my means are nearly ex-
hausted, pecuniary strait that is di-
rectly due to the loss of my arm. You
see, had filed two valises with mon
ey, negotiable bonds, ETC., in pref ara
ton for my departure. But in the
hurry attendant upon that I was COM
PEELED to leave one of them behind,
and by some fatal mischance I picked
up the less valuable one. All, sir!"
and the tears trickled down his wan
cheeks, "am / not the most unfortunate

The Proper Weight of Man.

Professor Huxley asserts that the
proper weight of man is 154 pounds,
made up as follows: Muscles and their
appurtenances, 6S pounds; skeleton, "a
pounds; skin, 10t pounds; fat, 2S
pounds; brain, 8 pounds; abdominal
viscera, II pounds; blood, which would
drain from the body, 7 pounds. The
heart of such man should beat 70 times
in minute, and he should breathe fifteen
times a minute. In "a hours he should
vitiate 1, 75O cubic feet of pure air to the
extent of one per cent.-a man, there
fore, of the weight mentioned should
have 800 cubic feet of well-ventilated
space. He should throw off through the
skin eighteen ounces of water, 800 grains
of solid matter and 400 grains of carbo mic
acid every twcnty-four hours, and his
total loss during that period should be
six pounds of water and about two
pounds of other matter.

An Awkward Mistake.

A well known Australian writer--a
very bad penman-in mentioning the
name of certain lady in an article,
said she was renowned for her gra-
ciousness and charity" For charity"
the compositor read Chastity" The
author, on seeing proof, recognized
at once that there was an error; but,
unable to remember the word he had
used in place of chastity, marked the
proof with what is called "query"-?
to refer the printer to his MS. When
the article appeared, the writer-whc
had intended to pay pretty compli,
ment to the lady-was surprised to
read that she was renowned for her
graciousness and chastity(?)." Verdict
