A WASHINGTON WOMAN.
Two Somewhat Noteworthy Episodes 1,
Her Social Career.

Two Somewhat Noteworthy Episodes In
Her Social Career.
A well-known society woman here,
says Washington letter to the New
York Tribune, told the following story
and was surprised that her listeners did
not commiserate her on the indignity
she suffered at the hands of two strange
women. Others had been telling Of
the rudeness they had endured from
callers, and my lady thought hers
would cap the climax. .
'On one Of my afternoons last sea-
son, said she, 1.-TWO women whom had
never seen or heard of were ushered in
TO the parlor. Mrs. - was receiving
with me and we both had the dearest
little pugs in our laps. They staid
fully ten minutes, and, as it was quite
early, no one else had dropped in.
They talked about every thing. One of
them asked for whom wore mourning,
the other fingered my friends lace
gown and asked If it was machine-made.
When they got up to go one of them
said:
"'I heard, madam, that you had two
babies. Seems to me woman had bet
ter have her babies in the parlor with
her than her dogs
"lt was the most lmpudent thing
ever heard of, but that is Washington
society for you. Just as if my nurses
couldn't take care of the children"
This same woman gave large din
ner party some time ago in honor of
the polished and courtly members of
the Chinese Legation. AS soon as they
were seated at table she Mortified her
other guests by turning to ono of the
Cinnamon and saying, indulgently
"John, Hkee Melicca?"
Misinterpreting his look of disgust,
she continued: "Ah, John, no speakee
Englishee."

SALLY CONQUERED.

How She Melted the Old SquIre's Heart
by Witty Remark.
Many OF the first settlers of Illinois
were rude in speech and rough in man
ner. Money was scarce with them, nnd
service was paid for in produce. Gov
ernor b, according to the New York
Ledger, used to illustrate these incl
dents Of frontier life by the following
anecdote: One day when he was a JUS
tice of the peace there came to his Office
young man, accompanied by a young
woman.
''Be you the squire2" asked the manly
youth.
Eyes, SIR"
Gan you tie the knot for us right
away?'
"Yes, SIR"
'How much do you chargeP''
''One dollar is the legal fee, sir"
"Will you take your fee in beeswaxp"
eyes, If you can't pay cash."
"Wen, go ahead and tie the knot, and
I'll fetch in the wax"
'No," said the squire, thinking there
was a good chance for little fun;
"bring in the beeswax first, and then
I'll marry you"
Reluctantly the youth went out to
where was hitched the horse upon
which, Darby and Joan fashion, the pair
had ridden, and brought the wax in a
sack. On being weighed its value was
found to be only about half dollar.
"Wal," said the anxious groom, "tie
the knot, and I'll fetch more wax next
week."
"No, sir; I don't trust; that's against
the rules of this Office"
Slowly the disappointed youth turned
TO go out, saying:
"Come, Sal; let's CO."
II say, mister" answered Sal, with a
woman's wit, cant you marry US as far
as the wax will go2"
eyes, can, and will" replied the
squire" laughing; and he did.

Tho Food Value of Eggs.

The food value of eggs. as compared
with fruits, has been studied by Fresen-
ius, who, after long series of analysis,
states that one ordinary hens egg con-
tains as much nourishment as II ounces
OF cherries, 20 ounces of grapes, "a
ounces of russell apples, Q pounds goose
berries and 4 pounds of pears. The
same Cinguished authority says that
ia pounds of grapes, 1877 pounds of ap-
pies, 192 pounds of pears and 327 pounds
of plums are equal in nourishment TO
100 pounda Of potatoes.

TIRESOME PEOPLE.

They Arc Altogether Too Numerous and
You can't Avoid Them.
In going about the city the same tire
some people are encountered everywhere
The man who at all times and upon all
occasions makes puns and docs most of
the laughing himself, Is exceedingly
tiresomc. He is closely related to the
man who has always got good story to
tell and is bound to tell it, no matter
how violently 1t may clash with the SUBJ
ject of conversation in the group of peo-
pie to whom the story is told.
That ELUSIVE person who, when he
meets you, squcezes your han6 until he
nearly dislocates bone and shakes it
until yonr arm aches to the shoulder,
he, too, is weariness to the flesh
When you see him coming yop are apt
to dart down a side street or get into the
lee of some building until he has passed.
The person who in the hurry and
hustle of business and at other inappro-
pirate times talks religion is apt to make
you very, very tired He is almost al
ways a super-sanctimonious person who
conveys the impression that to be relig-
ious is to be sad, whereas the person
who is religious from conviction must of
necessity be joyous.
The fond mammas and no less doting
papas who are always telling of the cute
things their children have said and of
the remarkable things they have done.
these make you tired also. They talk
right along without stopping and give
you no chance to say word regarding
the prodigies that there may be in your
own family, and when they have reeled
off variety of stories regarding their
juvenile offspring they commence upon
the various diseases which they have
had, and how the doctor treated them,
and how they finally survived the treat
ment.
People who always have grievance,
whose corns are always being stepped
on by somebody, and who seem to ex.
pect you to rise in your might and strike
the aggressors while they look on; men
who carry their hearts upon their
sleeves for davis to peck at and haven't
spunk enough to shoot the davis away
when any of these come round, as come
they will, one longs for lodge in some
vast wilderness where tiresome people
are not known.-B Standard

BEGINNING OF A BOTTLE.
Processes Employed In the Manufacture
of Slass-Vare.

The process begins with the gatherer.
His blowpipe is tube of wrought iron,
five or six feet long, and of lighter
weight than the pipe used in blowing
window glass He dips the end of his
pipe into the molten contents of the
boot, and brings out mass of red-hot
plastic glass. If the bottles to be blown
are small, one gathering suflices, but,
for larger wares, two or even three
gatherings may be necessary to get the
requisite supply of material on the end
of the blowpipe. When the gathering
is done properly, this lump of red-hot
glass is a perfect homogeneous mass.
Its subsequent fortunes rest with the
blower. He takes the blowpipe from
the gatherer, and resting the plastic
glass against marvering table of stone
or cast iron, he gives the pipe few
adroit rotations, thus fashioning the
glass into an even cylindrical shape.
by further rolling it along the edge Of
the table he forms the smaller prolonga-
tion of glass which is afterward to be-
come the neck of the bottle. Lifting
the still red-hot glass from the table,
he blows through the pipe, forming
small bubble of air in the interior of
the mass of glass. This is afterward
extended until it becomes the inward
ness of the bottle.
The partly fashioned bit of glassware &c
now introduced into the mold which oHa
of the ''shop" boys has already opened to
receive it. For convenience in working,
the mold is placed on a somewhat lower
level than that on which the blower
stands. 1t is made Of cast iron, and is
commonly formed in two pieces. One of
these is stationary, while the other
opens outward, its motion being con-
trolled by foot lever. When the blower
places his incomplete bottle, still at
tached to the blowpipe, into the mold,
he closes the mold with his foot, and
blows through the pipe until the plastic
glass is everywhere forced against the
sides of the mold, and has impressed
upon it the form of it's prison.-Prof. G. ii.
Henderson, in Popular Science Monthly.

VISITED BY i TRAMP.

| When the vag Left He Had Traces of
Cream on His Whiskers.
1t is hard to beat tramp. The cum
ming of the vagrant exceedeth that of
the serpent.
A lady, who has had more experience
with tramps of one sort and another
than she has any use for, looked out of
the kitchen window early one morning
lately, and saw ragged animated scare
crow coming through the yard. The
man was evidently tramp in search OF
q breakfast. The kitchen door was open,
and the lady shut it with vicious slam
She also closed the kitchen shutters ana
lit the gas, so that she could go on pre-
pairing the breakfast. The tramp came
on, and presently u hearty thump at the
door announced his desire to breakfast
without more delay.
But the lady, who was grinding the
coffee for the morning meal, paid no at
tention to the thump at the door; she
also cautioned the cook not to open 1T.
The tramp then rang the electric bell
for three minutes continuously. Then
ha swore awhile and knocked rata
plan on the panels. No attention was
paid to him and Mt last the woman in
side the house heard him depart.
"Wcll we got the best of Mr.. Tramp
that time," said the lady of the house.
The next minute she said to the cook:
"Where is tho cream?"
"Outside the door, mum. haven
took it in yet"
The lady opened the door. An empty
Jug stood beside the Intel. There were
traces of cream on the jugs inside.
Meanwhile tramp, whistling an
operatic air, was disappearing down tho
village street. Thera was cream on his
whiskers.-PittsbIrgh Dispatch.
-"How things have gone on and inn
proved since was boy" exclaimed the
old gent, as he laid down his pen and
blotted mis- letter. "For instance, it
wasn't thirty years ago that no one had
any particular way of spelling 'shugar.'
Now everybody spells it just as ! always
said it ought to be spelt."

said at the fire. but 1t gots that of sbe

Forward" cried DANDY jack" as
he led tho way on, not waiting to see
whether the other boats were all in.
A sharp report rang out, followed by
the call "To arms. to arms" and we
rushed on after our commander.
Wiry and light of foot, he kept little
ahead of us, and we saw him scramble
and stand. with his sword waving us on,
at its crest.
Already we wore nearly up with him,
when a red flash shone out, followed by
the rattle of muskets, and this was sue

He fell in one of our crews extended

and charged, a reckless mass of animated
vengeance on the men forming within
the works. They were well handled and
ably led, but they could not resist the
rush of our onset, and gave way, some
fiinging down their arms and surrender
ing, while a portion fled to their rude
barracks for shelter.

can unpopular feature, here in

creased duty on flax and linen
thread. This means an extra
expense for every shoe that is
bought and no corresponding
benefit. 1t hurts New England

it means simply an extra tax on
