Mrs. KATE CHASE, presiding over
her little family of young girls at
EdgehilI. near Washington, may not
appear so brilliant, but she is certain
~ more interesting than when she was
the gayest and most fascinating leader
of Washington society. She was am
bilious of presiding over the White
House, not that she ever expected her
husband to be President of the United
States, but she thought it possible
that her fathers political career might
fifty terminate by being elected to the
highest position in the gift of the
American people.

THE Brooklyn Union says officers of
the Navy Yard complain that many of
the gunners, after receiving a thorough
education at Uncle Sans expense in
the sciences of gunnery and electrici-
ty, leave the comparatively ill-paid
services of the Government to enter
the employ of local electric light and
telegraph companies as electrical ex-
perts, at a big salary. They say that
unless some measure is adopted to pre-
vent this, the navy Will soon be with
out any gunners. The electric light
companies are glad to obtain their
services at the rate of $50 to $35 per
week, while they get only $25 per
month and their board out of the Gov

JAMES LICK, the California phiIan-
thropist, died in October, 1876, but
the contest over the construction of his
will is still going on in the California
courts. The latest point to which it
has been found necessary to give legal
construction is the intention of Mr..
Lick as to the School of Mechanical
Arts, for the foundation and mainten-
ance of which he willed $4,000 The
fact that for over thirteen years his
executors have been trying to find
way to carry out the provisions of his
last testament; the delay and loss
which have resulted, and the entire de
feat of some of his intentions, offer
striking proofs of the advantage to rich
men in putting their benevolent pur-
poses into practice while they are alive
and can be sure that their wishes are
obeyed. Dollars never go so far in
philanthropy as when they are admin
tered by their owner himself.

SEVERAL years experience with tall
Office buildings in New York has taught
reaI-estate men that it does not pay to
erect these buildings. Lawyers, insur-
ance men, and others who have had
their Offices in them for a time have
moved out, as they find that business
is not near so rushing when you are up
six or seven stories high as when you
are nearer the ground floor. One of
these sky-scrapers, erected last sum
mer, contains 200 offices, but only
thirty-fve of them are tenanted. And
this is the case with all the high Office
buildings. 1t is doubtful if any more
of them will go up.

THERE is said to be a large band Of
wild horses, led by a thoroughbred
known to the stockmen as the "OutIaw
Stud, ranging between Truokee, Ne
vada County, and Peavine, New, says
the Grass Valley Tjdtq1gs. Years ago
the stud, a fine racer, escaped to the
mountains, and has since detied cap
ture. By desperate riding stookmen
manage to get into the band every year
and drive out the colts. The horses
range on the highest peaks, beyond
where cattle or sheep often go. They
only go to water once a day, and then
in single file down the mountain trail
as fast as they can run. They go back
at their leisure.

THE Khedive Is much in love with
his wife, who wears a modern costume,
while their children dress like Ameri-
