A Suggestion About Dinners.

The next time you give dinner give
a good one. Do not feel that because
You can afford it your dinner must con-
sist of complex, mysterious, rich, indi-
gestible dishes. No one wants them.
All men hate them. When a man goes
to restaurant he never orders such a
medley for himself. He never wishes
them on his own table. Few women
care for them. and not one person in fifty
can digest them with comfort. AL
though such dinners are very common
in New York, they are not given be-
cause we desire or respect them, but be-
cause we are rich and vulgar people
without the ability to realize our vul-
garity.
There are many people in this city,
and happily the class is growing, who
have the good taste and courage to offer
simpler dinner to their guests. Sucl,
dinners cal be as long and as dainty as
the most fastidious may desire, and they
are infinitely more satisfying. Try T.
bear in mind that dinner consisting OF
complex and mysterious dishes is only a
development of American vulgarity.
When Il woman gives such dinner you
are correct in supposing that either her
own taste is vitiated and false or tha,
she does it because she thinks it 1.-THE
proper thing" In either case it indi
Gates the presence of more money than
intelligence.-Life.

Cripples at the Capital.

Strangers in the capital express much
surprise at the number of cripples to be
seen here, and offer various explanations
of the sight. The majority of manned
citizens are Office holders, who were Grip
pied during the late war. The form in
which they are mostly injured is the loss
of an arm, oftener the left one, as obser-
walton shows. Many have parted with a
leg, and the suppliers of substitutes in
willow. cork or rubber in Washington
aver that this is one of the best markets
in the country for their profession. Be.
sides these injuries received through
violence, there are scores of people in
the government service who are afflicted
with natural deformities. They are to
be found particularly in the treasury de-
partment.-Kate Fields Washington

Tho Way LYorncn Do.

eff mon were rs economical in their
social relations as women are We would
not be such rstion Of spendthrifts, "
said 7. b. Rose, of Minneapolis. 81 was
impressed with the force Of this idea to-
day by an observation begun in cable
car and pursued through "a dry goods es-
tablishment and restaurant. / saw
two ladies chatting together intimately
on car, and when the conductor ap-
preached them to collect the fares one Of
them had no change. The other offered
to pay for her companions ride, but the
latter wouldn't submit to the PROPOSE
ton. Instead she borrowed nickel
from her friend remarlzing as she did
so that she would break bill as soon as
she got down town and repay her. My
curiosity was excited to see if women
really dealt that way with one another
SO followed the two after they got off
the car. They first entered dry goods
store, where the borrower made small
purchase. and ms soon as she got her
change she handed her friend five cents,
which was received without the slight
est protest.
Then they went into restaurant to
get lunch. Each gave separate orders
and the bill of each amounted to thirty
cents. They marched up to the cashier
and each paid her own bin. Now, these
are small transactions, but they are in
dicative Of the difference in the charac-
ters of men and women. Had the objects
of my observations been men instead of
women. the man who offered to borrow
a nickel for car fare would have insulted
the other and one of them would have
ordered that dinner for both and paid
the bill, which, may as we'll say, would
have amounted to dollars instead of
cents. st. Louis Globe Democrat.

Why We Have Lean Years.

Why is it that there have to be leap
years--that all our years are not of the
same length? 1t arises from the fact
that the year does not consist of an ex-
act number of days The length of the
day and that of the year are the meas
ures of the motions of the earth. The
globe we live ON moves in two ways. 1t
turns itself around like spinning top,
and at the same time it goes steadily
forward like a bullet shot from a gun.
1t turns itself once completely around
in twCnty-four of our hours. as shown by
the clock; this amount of time we call a
day. Its forward or onward motion
carries it around the sun in path that
is nearly circle; the time it takes to go
completely around we call year. The
first motion gives US day and night fol-
lowing each other in turn (the word
day here having now different
meaning - namely, not twenty-four
hours, but the time of daylight.
The second motion gives us days (that
is, periods of daylight growing gradual
ly longer and then gradually shorter,
one end of the earth turning more to-
ward the sun for half the time aud the
other end for the other half; and this
brings Us summer and winter aud the
seasons. Now the length of the year is
found to be nearly 1851 4 times the length
of the day of twenty-four hours; that is,
the year is 500 days long and nearly six
hours more. 1t is these six hours that
give us our leap years, and it is in the
nearly" that we find the reason for
1900 not being one of their number
