Pages in Congress.

The place of page is eagerly sought
after, and If a member Of Congress dies
and leaves his family destitute, it is not
uncommon to provide one of his boys
with pages place. The pay is SIS a
month while Congress sits, and the work
is literally nothing but play to them.
This is, indeed, the great drawback of
it. A boy draws mans salary and has
no chance for regular, wholesome work
with it. He cannot go to school, and
learns nothing in effect except the art of
waiting on his elders. They have a
comfortable room down at the Capitol,
and nobody is disposed to make life hard
for them. If night session lasts into
the morning hours, the pages are always
excused by 10 o'clock. They pick up
good deal about the forms of legisltion,
and one of their favorite games is play
ing Congress Some youngster is elected

rival factions divide upon the fioor-for

Republicans or red-hot Democrats.-and

curate likeness to the business in Con-
gress. Some of the boys can initiate the
peculiarities of various members won
derfully well, and the scene is really ex-
tremely comical.

American Girls Conquests Abroad.

The German girls are beginning to
complain with considerable bitterness
that American and English girls are
encroaching upon their preserves. Very
many Americans and English send their
daughters to Germany to be educated;
the pretty dears not only master the
language in a short time-quite as
quickly and as easily they make con-
quest of the hearts of the susceptible
German officers. The number of army
officers in Germany with American and
English wives is very large, and the fad
seems to be increasing. In Dresden
particularly the English and Americans
are in great demand; the native mad
chen (be she never so pretty seems to

Dancing In Washington.

There is more dancing done in Wash
ington than in any other city Of its size
in the world, and this fact has given
Washington dancers q national reputa-
tion for ease and grace. New
dances become popular gradually in
the capital, and it is therefore easy
for persons from distant cities to
join with the dancers. An at
tempt is being made to consolidate the
two dancing associations with view to
making the dances all over the country
uniform. The American and the Ma
tional are two distinct associations, and
the dances taught by each are widely at
variance. The consolidation of these
associations would to a certain extent
overcome the difficulty. A glance at the
programme of this year will quickly
show the increasing favor of round
dances. The dancing programme of to-
daY contains waltzes and polkas in o
large majority, with schottisches next in
favor, and perhaps two, or maybe three
lanciers. Quadrilles are gradually dis
appearing, but If any are danced they
are generally polka quadrilles.
