Why She Talked So,

On Howard street the other day benevo
lent old gentleman beheld little six-year
old girl walking gravely along with &
basket on her arm. Patting the chubby
tot under the chin he said:
"And where are you going, my pretty
maid?"
''Give thee goodday, gray beard, replied
the midget. "My father babe me to the
shambles HE for fat hannch."
"W-w-hat" calculated the old party.
'sHaply thou knowest hin-tiie good man
SkidmoreP" inquired the tiny dame
"No-o-o," said the gentleman, much puz
zled
You're a quaint little thing Come
with me and I'll buy you some candy"
"Alack, am forbid to tarry, gentle sir
need be blythe Their patience stays
upon mycoming"
'Goodby, then" said the old gentleman
REST You, merry master" and dipping
little courtesy the mite trOtted off.
BLESS me. what an extraordinary child, u
said the gentleman to bystander
''Ohl that's nothing" replied the other.
''You see, she's the daughter of the heavy
tragedian at MOroscos theatre, and / sup
pose they talk SO much of that kind OF
lingo in the family that it comes natural
to her. Don't hear anything else, you see "

Repartee In LondOn,s Streets,

1t is always amusing to listen to the sui
phurous exchange of compliments between
cabby and 'busman, who is often suifi-
GENTLY clever at repartee to cause cabbY's
attempts at ridicule to recoil on his own
head. Here is a case in point. One after
noon a westward going bus picked up a
lady and gentleman right out of the hands
of cabby in Piccadilly
In pulling up the bus very nearly came
to grief against heavy van This was the
Jehu's chance. YOU'RE nice sort of par
ty to ave charge of the 'eds of families,
you areI" he shouted at the bus driver.
'Why didn't We bring yer mother out to
'elp We odd the losses on their feet?'
Like lightning flash came the retort:

there's such faces as yours knockin' about

been too good mother to "-London

Shepherd, the regeneration OF the cap1tn.
It is at the corner of Connecticut avenue
End Farragut square, directly opposite the
home of Secretary Tracy, which was de-
stroyed by fire with such tragic results
little more than year ago. When Shep-
herd built this mansion it was considered
the finest house in Washington, and it was
for time a center of social interest. Sen
ator Stanford lives in the adjoining house.
The Shepherd mansion was once occu-
pied by Attorney General Brewster, and
later by the Chinese legation. The Chinese
minister quarreled with his landlord over
some matter of repairs, and moved out the
avenue to Dupont Circle, there taking the
pretentious house known as Stewart Castle,
the property of Senator Stewart, of Ne
vada There is no very good feeling be-
tween the Chinese and their present land
lord either, the senator hating the Chinese
with hatred that never dims or flags. 1t
is said ne nearly lost his reelection to the
senate because his anti Chinese constitu-
ents liz Nevada had heard he rented his
house in Washington to the heather. SEN
ator Stewart pacitied them by explaining
that while IL was true he rented his house
to the Chinese, he did SO with two pur-
poses in view: First, to get twice as large
a rental as the properly was worth; sec
ond, TO rid the house of rats, with which it
had been sadly overrun.
The French legation. oddly enough, does
not try to be fashionable. 1t occupies a
very modest house in an questionable
part Of the city. The Brazilian legation
has a beautiful home on Massachusetts,
avenue, near Chief Justice Fuller, and its
parlors are noted for their works of art.
The Spanish legation, one of the largest in
the city in point of numbers, has a good
house at the corner of Massachusetts ave-
nue. and Scott Circle. Baron EaVa, until

THE BRITISH LEGATION.

ton house in the world. Another English
tradition is that the government must
own its legation house. With few excep-
tions, British ministers the world over are
their own landlords. This palace in Wash
ington was built twenty-five years ago by
Sir Edward Thornton. When he bought
the land all that part of the city was
swampish and unimproved, and as Sir Ed
ward paid a pretty good price he was
charged with being in league with real
estate ring. Time has indicated his judg-
ment, for the property is now worth five
or ten times as much as he paid for it, and
is surrounded by the noblest mansions in
the city.
The English built their house here in a
characteristic manner-solid, massive, en-
during. The material-even the brick
was imported from England. British min
listers buy their furniture, their carriages
and many other articles in England, i'm
porting them duty free The British lega-
ton property here is easily worth SIN. 900.
No taxes are paid upon it. In the comfy
of nations one government is not permit
ted to tax the diplomatic possessions of an
other
In view of this inducement co OWNERSHIP
1t is remarkable that so few foreign gov
ernments have bought houses in Washing
ton. Only two other countrieS-Germany
and MeXico-own their legation houses in
this capital. The German legation occu-
pies an old fashioned house on Fifteenth
street, but block from the treasury, and
near Vice President Norton's hotel. Though
an old house, built probably half century
ago. 1t Is sumptuously furnished. Two or
three years ago there was talk of trade
between the German government and the
owners Of the mansion built by Graham
Bell, of telephone fame, on Scott Circle
The negotiations failed, but went far
enough TO show that the Germans are
pretty good traders. They asked $4,000
for their property. which cost them only
$4,000 fifteen years ago. The owners of
the Bell mansion asked sl25, 900 for it, but
offered TO put it in ut slI5000. Nothing
came of the negotiations, and the Bell man
sion was afterward sold to Vice President
Morton for Sli5.0oo

gossip concerning it than the members OF
the diplomatic corps The foreign legations
in Washington were full of speculation
and news, and lucky the newspaper cor
respondent who CHANGED TO be ON good
terms with the members of the corps. De-
spite the traditions of diplomacy, diplo-
mats do talk. IL one way or another they
contrive to tell nearly all they know. The
wife of foreign minister was giving me
her opinion of the diplomatic game being
played between Secretary Blaine and
Premier Rudini "What does woman
know of diplomacy" 1 said to her, BAN
teringly. what l know OF diplomacy"
she responded warmly. "Eyeryt'ing, every
ting. Ny husband tell me everything he
knows about everything" And if the
woman. so proud of her husbands conf
dence, did not repeat ''everyt'ing" the
fault was not mine, assure you.
The diplomatic colony in Washington is
perhaps larger than it is generally thought
to be. IL consists of no fewer than twenty
nine legations, and comprises men, women
and children, more than rs persons. All
but three of the legations occupy rented
houses, for the most part handsome modern
dwellings in the fashionable quarter, beau
tifully furnished and we'll equipped with
servants. As rule the representatives of
foreign governments DIT Washington are
paid much better salaries and granted
larger allowances than our representatives
at other capitals For instance Minister
Lincoln at London gets a salary of ST., 800
a year and pays his own house rent. Lord
Pauncefote England's representative here
draws $4,000 year, and has a splendid
mansion in which to live. The British
legation house is the finest in the city. 1t
is a splendid mansion, in the heart of the
fashionable quarter. across Connecticut
avenue from the presidents church. 1t is
one of the largest houses in Washington,
admirably adapted to the social purposes
for which it is so much used. It's ball
room is the largest domestic apartment in
the city, excepting the East room of the
executive mansion.
Passing through the great front door,
the visitor finds himself in large hall,
from the center of which a magnificent
staircase extends to the floor above At
the first landing is portrait of the queen,
and it is upon this the guests eye first
alights The portrait is of Victoria in her
prime. Conspicuous display of the por-
trait of the queen is one of the traditions
of English diplomacy. Victoria's face will
be found prominent in every British lega-

Graceful.

The ready and graceful wit of the Able
de Voisenon once enabled him, in truly
discouraging social difficulty. ''to pluck
victory from defeat" his courageous effort
to escape from an embarrassing situation
certainly deserved success.
The able accepted an invitation of the
Prince de Cont to dinner, but forgot the
date, and at the dinner his chair was va
cant. The next day friend said to him:
'Monseigneur was very angry with you
yesterday" The able felt that he had been
remiss and attended the princes next re-
ception to offer an humble apology.
His highness, as soon as he perceived his
discourteous guest, turned his back. But
the undaunted able exclaimed:
''Oh monseigneur, you oYerwhelm me
with gratitude l had been told that you
never more would have anything to do
with me: but / am happy to see that have
been misinformed."
"How?" asked the prince.
'Your highness has turned your back
upon me, and know that that is not your
custom before your enemies "-Youth's

office Of his legation couple of rooms over
Madame Ritti's confectionery store on

ladies and gentlemen from the far east, the
japanese, have happy family in pretty

The Venezuelans live in handsome
green stone house next door to Senator
Walcott's, opposite the British legation
on Connecticut avenue. Chevalier de Ia
vera, the representative of Austria-Hun-
gary, keeps his legation office in fine old
house on l street, while the Peruvian,
Swiss, Belgian, Portuguese, Haytien, Swe-
dish, Corean, Argentine, Venezuelan. Chill
ian and others occupy modest rented
houses in various parts of the city. The
diplomatic representative of the Sandwich
islands boards at Wormley's Hotel, where
his landlord is a colored man. Mavroyeni
Bey, the Turkish minister, lives at n
French restaurant on Connecticut avenue,
where attaches and secretaries of legation
may be found in great numbers. The min
listers from some of the less important
countries live in small hotels or boarding
houses.
Whenever member of the diplomatic
corps is called home, or new one is sent
here, no matter how humble his station,
his papers are withdrawn from or filed at

Pigeon English.

When you converse with Chinaman he
talks what is called pigeon English. Now
you are well aware that pigeons do not us.
English any more than dogs use Latin.
although dog Latin has its place among the
LIMOGES of the world, and is by the school
boys preferred to the classic tongue of Vir-
gil and Cicero. Pigeon English is the
Chinaman's childlike way of saying bust
ness English, and by means of pigeon En-
glish he conveys such thoughts as he sees
fit to make known to his English speaking
neighbor.-Harper's Young People.

Worlds Fair Notes.

CHICAGO, April 14.-If there is any
fault to find with the programme that
has been agreed upon for the inaugu-
raj ceremonies, it is the one feature that
contemplates finale in the shape of a
grand ball, with a tax of $40 per head for
the privilege Of passing the festive portals.
This kind of JambOrees may be good
enough for the effete monarchie5 of Eu-
rope. and even the most carping individual
might be disposed to tolerate them once in
every four years when the nation. through
its appropriate inauguration ceremonies,
celebrates on the light fantastic toe the
closing of heated political campaign, but
the approaching exposition Is one of labor,
rather than of politics, and in the contrib
utorS toward the financial end of the enter
prise as we'll as in the workers in the vari-
Gus states, who are aiming in the direction
of credltable representation of American
skill and industry, the labor element,
otherwise called the bone and sinew, or the
wage workers, are pretty largely represent
ed This class is not generally given to
patronizing 80 hops, and hence it is not
surprising that the announcement of this
particular feature of the opening ceremo-
MES has produced preliminary rum bic OF
discomfort.
Outside of this particular feature, how
ever, it must be confessed that the com
mittee, considering the thousand and one
suggestions with which it had to gEapple,
and the fact that it had to try and please
everybody and displease nobody, has done
its work exceedingly well. With parade
and prize drill Of national and state troops
on the first day, dedication, with popu-
lar mass meeting and an Grafton By some
representative American, on the second, a
civic and industrial parade on the third,
and another military demonstration with
brigade and battalion drills and sham
battle on the fourth, there certainly Is
variety enough TO suit all tastes. What Is
more, there ought 70 be, when Il Is con-
sidered that the total expense OF the exer-
cises is figured AZ no less 4 sum than s2IO,-
90. ii the exposition itself, IN ali its de-
