Wanted 10 see the soldiers.

A wealthy New York lady who has
Travelled much abroad, but who knows
very little about her own country, WAS
I'm Washington few days ago for the
first time She was taken to the White
House by an influential friend, and
through his intercession the private
apartments of the house were opened Up
to her, and she had an exceptional op-
portunity to inspect the numerous beau
ties Of the dignifed but modest mansion.
As she was being helped into her car
riage on departing, shade of disap-
pointlnent was detected in her face.
We'll, what do you think of it, her
friend inquired.
81 must confess to very keen disap-
pointment,' was the reply. The rooms
are ali very prettily decorated, and some
of them are digni6ed and impressive,
but | am sorry not to have seen the
military"
1t appeared on further inquiry that
this un-Americanized New Yorker had
fully expected to find the presidents
mansion surrounded by military guard
in full uniform, and she was vehement
in her assertions that the German way
was ''ever so much better than ours

Weight of Panar Money.

In the treasury here one day the ques-
tion came up as to the weight of dollar
bill. Scales of perfect accuracy were
brought into requisitiou, and the sur
prising discovery was made that twenty
seven one dollar notes weighed exactly
as much as twenty dollar gold piece.
The latter just balances $40 grains.
However, the bills weighed were per
fectly crisp and new. Trial made with
soiled notes, such as come in every day
for redemption, showed that twenty
seven of them weighed considerably
more than the twenty dollar coin. Every
paper dollar on its way through the
world continually accumulates dirt, SO
that after year of use it is perceptibly
heavier Washington Letter.

Use and Fashion.

Use is hardly more than another name
for fashion. 1t is the mode of the day
that determines this. To wear the small
clothes and full bottomed wigs of our
grandfathers today would he most un-
grammatical, and yet in the old time it
would have been equally an error to ap-
pear without them. This is constantly
fiuctuating rule of which it is true the
principle remains the same, but Of which
the application varies constantly. Every
body recognizes it, and everybody is
more or less influenced by it. 1t is need
less to point out that to be too far be-
hind OF too much in advance of the
changing fashion is to be deplored. but
it is just here, it may be remarked, that
this principle passes into that Of ele-
gance.-Boston Courier.

The Dear InnOcents.

Some Detroit ladies, not more than a
thousand miles from barrel of salt in
front of Woodward avenue grocery
store, recently organized debating club
for the development and benefit of the
rights Of women. 1t was their first ex-
perience, the dear things, SO they ap-
pointed committee to go down town
and get the needed stationery, etc. When
the polite and affable clerk had about
finished selecting the articles they had
put down in a memorandum book, he
inquired of the spokeswoman of the
party:
"You will want 'Cushing's Manual,
won't your
"a WHAT" she asked sharply.
"a 'Cushing's Manual madam" he
answered, moving out of range.
'No, SIR" she said, with severity,
''this society is exclusively for ladies,
and if we want anything at all in that
line it will be a womanual, sir. How
much do we owe you?"-Detroit Free

THE laws of health are taught in our
schools; but not in way to be of much
practical benefit and are never illustrated
b, living examples, which in many eases
could easily be done. If some scholar,
who had just contracted cold was
brought before the school, so that all
could hear the dry loud cough, and know
its significance; see the thin white
coating on the tongue and later, as the
cold develops, see the profuse watery
expectoration and thin watery discharge
from the hose, not one of them would
ever forget what the first symptoms of
a cold were. The scholar should then
be given Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
freely, that all might see that even
severe cold could be cured in one or two
days, or at least greatly mitigated, when
properly treated as soon as the first
symptoms appear. For sale by

Points of the Compass Among Pueblos.
Among the Pueblo Indians six points
of the compass are recognized, and each
has its color North is yellow, west is
blue, south is red. east is white; the upper
regions are many colored and the lower
regions are black. All the prey gods are
represented by their images in these six
colors.
For example, there is the yellow noun
tain lion of the north, the blue mountain
lion of the west, the red mountain lion
of the south and so on. Likewise it is
with the other beasts, and thus very
considerable number of deities is formed
All Of them must receive worshipful at

themselves for the neglect. Washington

jim AND JOE.


Yes, there was Jim, and sIre's you're born
There never was q better fellow;
When things went wrong he didn't grovl.
Nor curse his luck. nor groan. nor below;
But-rackinG long tine same old way
He'd light his pipe and so TO smokin,
Till things came round ali right again.
With Jim still laugjii1 and a-iokin.
Then there was Joe: with him, you see,
Nothin was ever gOin squarely.
He'd swear the world was near its end
Cause some one hadn't traded fairly;
Good men were just about played out,
The DEVILS reign was drawing nearer;
Somehow-just why he could not tell
The world was CROWN queer and queerer.
Well as it happened. Jim was poor.
And, as it happened. Joe was wealthy;
Jim, he was rather small and weak
Joe was giant. strong and healthy;
Yet when il came to sheer content,
And light min some one else's trouble
By smilin DER his own, why Jim
Could just beat Joseph more than double.

The Water in Utah. Great Lake.

Salt Lake is by no means saturated
solution of salt, yet it is five or six times
as rich in salts as the ocean, and nearly
as strong as the Dead sea. In summer
it contains between 20 and % per cent.
of salt, the saturation point not being
reached until the salt forms little over
a third of the liquid. There are all
through the great basin numerous saline
lakes and ponds, but none of the size
and importance of this in Utah. Not
infrequently they are shallow and Ell
tirely disappear during the dryness and
heats of summer, leaving to mark their
sites only a stretch of some acres-or it
may be miles-of clay or mud, entirely

A Swell Boston Shoemaker.

For several years there has been col
ored shoemaker on School street. He
has owned his little shop, which is big
enough for about four people to stand in
without noticeable discomfort. BE is a
good looking young fellow, and there isn't
anything remarkable about him at first
sight. He has very good trade for a
small place, and his income is sufficient
to enable him to live comfortably. Ii
you go into his shop any time of the day
between o'clock in the morning and 5
o'clock in the afternoon you will find him
seated on a little stool with leather
apron on. His sleeves will be rolled up,
and he will be pegging away for dear
life.
If you so into the place at O'Clock
and wait few minutes, you viii pres
emily behold as novel spectacle as may
be witnessed in the city anywhere. You
will see that a gorgeous light overcoat
has been hanging on peg in the wall
in a corner of the shop, and that pair
Of flashing patent leather shoes have
been reposing in the same corner on the
floor, and that near by a big silver
knobbed walking stick has been stand
ing, while on little shelf has been rest

mans work is done in the evening he
doffs his leather apron and attires him
self in his swell apparel.
He may be seen on Washington street
in the neighborhood of the Adams House
an hour later, silk hat, patent feathers,
spring overcoat, silver knobbed cane and
all. He goes to his shop in this dress in

mented in the evening. He moves in

and is looked ON by his acquaintances as
person of quality. Yet he makes no
disguise Of his business.-Boston Cor
