"REAL LONDON SOCIETY,""
1t Contains Two Glasses Whose Rights to
Be So identified Differ Radically.

1t Contains Two Glasses Whose Rights to
Be So identified Differ Radically.
A London correspondent in recent
letter to a New York paper says: We
have been told this week by Lady
Charles Beresford that the real London
society, which includes "those who are
there by right, and whom nothing can
remove as long as their fortunes sur
vive," consists of only 30 or 10 families.
So called London society, she declares,
includes two classes, one of them being
those who are there, not of right, but by
force, and who remain by dint of labor,
thinking no cost too excessive to pay for
the privilege of meeting with the great.
The other section consists of those who
are still anxious to obtain admittance
into what appears to them to be social
paradise, and who still hope, and have
every right to hope, to succeed, despite
all the ridicule lavished upon them.
On the delicate and much-vexed ques-
ton of the morals of society, Lady
Beresford says that the real question is
whether the circle in which immortality
is SO openly practiced is widening. She
thinks it is not. 1t is generally noticed,
she says, that the most pronounced set
has, for some time, found it difficult to
gather fresh recruits.

Italian Etiquette.

If the woman who visits Rome wishes
to follow tradition and do as the Ro-
mans do, ;" she will be careful never to
take an escorts arm in Catholic
church. Indeed, the guides instruct
those who stroll innocently arm in arm
about ST. Peter S looking at the pictures,
frescoes and affairs of that wonderful
cathedral that they are committing an
impropriety.
Italians are very particular about the
etiquette of kissing the hand. A man
kisses the right hand of his mother, aunt
or elderly friend and the left hand of
his sweetheart. 1t is not permitted him
to kiss the palm of the hand except in
great and affectionate intimacy. 1t is
regarded as a token that he is very
much in love. Upon arriving at a
formal dinner gentleman takes the
hand of his hostess and bends low over
it as if about to kiss it, but does not
do so. After dinner etiquette demands
that he take her hand again and kiss it,

Ne.roes WHO pass goir whites.

At the census of 1880 nearly 81 per
cent of the colored population was up-
der 10 years of age, while at the census
of 1890 only 20 per cent was under 10
years of age. Samuel E. Tatum, a
Washington negro, in explaining this,
says: "It may be fact that the colored
population is constantly falling off in its
increase, for which there may be great
smany reasons. We should first take in
to consideration the vast number of peo-
pie of color leaving the race yearly.
There are thousands who emigrate from
the south so light in complexion that in
the north they are supposed to be white,
and in this way vast number of fam

A Practical Throw Out.

In a first class carriage in Germany
an Englishman was observed to be con-
stantly putting his head out of the win
dow. The train was going fast, and a
sudden gust of wind blew off his hat.
He at once took down his hat box and
hurled it after his hat. Then he sat
down and smiled on his fellow pas
sengers. but, of course, did not speak.
The Germans roared with laughter, and
one of them exclaimed:
"You do not expect your hat box to
bring back your hat, do you?"

SAN Francisco, Nov. 30.-One OF the
most interesting of all the foreign
exhibits at the midwinter exposition
will be that contained in the Japanese
section. A matter OF note Ia the fact
that it covers so wide q field. 1t will
occupy several Thousand square feet in
the manufactures and liberal arts build
ing, and will have considerable wall
space in the fine arts department. In
addition to this an arrangement has
been made by the Japanese commits
sioner-general for an outdoor exhibit to
occupy 10000 squire feet OF space apart
from the Japanese village, already in
process of construction. In this addi-
tional space Japan will have tea gardens
erected and conducted by the leading
tea houses OF Japan. Everything in
side the inclosure will be decorated
in true Japanese style.
Intending Oregon exhibitors have
decided to expend $4,000 in the construc-
tion OF state building at the midwin-
ter exposition. This cost is exclusive of
material, which will be procured en-
tirely from the webfoot forests. The
building is to contain 10000 square feet
on it's main floor. There will be no
galleries, but the entire floor space,
with the exception OF the necessary re-
ception rooms and offices, will be devoted
to exhibitions. The building is designed
by an Oregon architect. Its frame will
be constructed in Portland and erected
in the Sunset city by Oregon mechanics
transported thither especially for that
purpose.
Information comes from Siskiyou
county that creditable exhibit is being
prepared. Nearly ell the articles for its
display must be transported over noun.
tain roads to Yreka. There will prob
ably be considerable difficulty in col
lecting the exhibit, but those in charge
are sanguine that Siskiyou will be in the
front rank when the prizes are distrib-
uted. In addition to an extensive min
ing display already planned there will
be an excellent exhibit of her horticul-
tural and agricultural resources.
