The first thing which strikes woman
from New York or Chicago on settling
in Washington is the fuency with which
every one she meets speaks French. n
half the drawing rooms she enters she
might as well be in Paris. She goes into
a bookshop, and half the things she sees
are in French. 1t is really embarrassing
She feels at once the need of brushing
up her vocabulary and fortifying her
store of irregular verbs. Washington
women speak French as a matter of
course, and very good French too. A
woman without the same accomplish
ment feels almost as i'll at ease as if her
gown were cut badly. This is only one
of many gaps which her money will not
fill, and in sheer desperation the morti-
fed stranger calls in a teacher.
knowledge is the fashion.
A small matter that, you may say,
but significant of other things. The
butterfly woman from New Y ork, whose
society stock in trade consists of skim.
ming from the latest novels and plays
gowns from the Rue de la PaiX and q
reservoir of superficial gush, is amazed
to hear Washington women talking
about prison reform, our public school
system or the Behring sea controversy
And they not only talk on such subjects
naturally and without any suspicion Of
posing, but they know what they are
talking about. 1t is no longer sufficient
to throw out a smilingly earnest remarl
about some book of Ibsen's and trust tc
fate that the woman you are talking tC
is as ignorant of it as you are. Oh, no
the odds are against you in Washington.

The Stone Fights of Corea.

The stone fights of Corea are remark
able national sport. The kite flying,
which is universal in COrea, stops on the
10Th of their first month, and next day
the stone fights take its place. The most
serious fights occur ON the large open
spaces of the capital. There is a sort of
recognized pitting of one section of the
city against another, but there is no Or
ganization and no leaders, though the
fighters generally follow the lead of the
more daring and reckless of their num-
Der.
Stones fly in an incessant shower, and
each man tries to hit as many men as he
can, and specially to avoid being hit by
stones aimed at him. A few men on
each side are armed with strong clubs
and provided with wadded hemlets, and
these come to the closer quarters re-
quired for blows, while the main body
ply the missiles. The excitement is in
tense, and thousands of spectators crowd
the neighboring safe points.
The villages round the capital are in a
constant state of warfare with each 9TH
er during the season, and broken heads
are plentiful. In fact, it was reported
that in the first fight of last year six men
We're killed-a record which nearly
equals one of our own good football sea-
sons-and a company of soldiers which
was ordered out to stop it could hardly
do so even with fixed bayonets.-Lon-

He Mnnted Protection.

The prisoner at the bar was prisoner
not so much possibly because he had
knocked q man down on the highway
and robbed him as that he had been
caught in the act by the police and
brought there. In any event he was
there, and the policeman in the unro-
mantle manner of policemen had mar
rated the circumstances.
"You hear what the officer says" said
the court sternly. HE states that you
knocked the man down and robbed him.

HONDURAS REVOLUTIONS,
Natives Are Tired of Them, and They


tract Little Attention.
The political condition of Spanish Hon
dUras is represented by returning trav-
elers from that little republic to be in a
very disturbed condition. Business is
| unsettled, and pending an adjustment
of the present difficulties no hope for an
amelioration of the existing state of af-
fairs can safely be ce5ertained. The in
ternal strife now prevailing there can
not, it is said, be digIifed with the name
of revolution. It consists more of war
ring factions, each eager to serve his
country for the money there may be in
it for himself and his supporters. A
few resolute men well equipped with
guns and ammunition and under good
leadership could easily kripe out the ma
rauding gang of political disturbers
whose acts of brigandage are retarding
the growth of the country, agitating
those who have invested their capital
there with assurances that they would
have a fair prospect of getting good re-
turns and precipitating generally disrup-
ton and Generalization.
The native Honduranean of the lower
order is represented to be not much
above the brute creation, being lazy,
slothful and shiftless, with not enough
pride or self respect to keep himself
clean. The upper classes are tolerably
well bred, but such finished adopts in
duplicity and Misrepresentation that
they are, as rule, utterly unworthy of
belief This is the statement made to a
reporter by a gentleman who has only
recently returned from Honduras, who
is familiar with the people and their
habits and who is man of large means.
eff you should ever go to Honduras"
said he, Ego there without a cent. If
you do this, you will come away no poor
er than when you put feet upon their
soil, but if you go there with money you
will inevitably be robbed. The people
there will either steal from you outright
or through the mOc.iery of the tribunals
which they term coGrts."
The height of ambition of the average
Honduranean is to have a few silver
coins in his pockets. When this meta
morphosis takes place in his condition,
he works no longer, interests himself no
further in anything which might cause
him to exercise either his hands or his
brains, but sleepily and drowsily con-
soles himself with the cheap rum which
is the native drink. This stuff, made
from sugar cane juice, is strong enough
to burn hole in bar of railroad iron.
The banana is the diet of the poorer
classes. They gorge themselves with
this fruit, which can be easily obtained
for almost nothing, and wash down the
primitive nourishment with a glass or
two of the sugar cane liquor. The COM
bination would kill an ostrich.-New

The baroness de RothschiId.

The Baroness Nathaniel de Rothschild
appeared on the drive at Cannes the other
morning handling the reins over a mag
nificent four-in-hand and dressed SUI
perbly. She was wearing some sort of
black gown as impossible to analyze as
a complex piece of French cookery. All
that remained after she had passed was
the impression of its exquisite outlines
all but the tiny bonnet on her head,
it's seal and chief ornament silhouetting
itself against the blue waters of Napoule
and becoming distinct to the eye. 1t was
in it's consequential part a semicircular
fan of black lace that stood above the
forehead and radiated from an enormous
carbuncle. From this center radiated
also spines set with small stones.-Paris

the amazing display of diamonds madd

such display, having been accustomed to
