A Patriotic Rule.

There is a new rule in the navy depart
ment that is as picturesque as it is Pa
triotic. Whenever a government vessel
on it's way up or down the dirty Poto-
mac passes by Mount Vernon the bell on
the vessel tolls, and the sailors and Off
GERS form in line and doff their caps and
salute the home of Washington. No
matter what the crew are doing, all
work is stopped while the ceremony is
zone through. Sailors will stop in their
labor Of sweeping off the deck, drop
their brooms and rush to get into line.
There has always been a kind of desul-
cory practice of this kind, and the home of
the Father of His Country has generally
been honored in an informal way by gov
eminent vessels in passing, but now this
tribute of respect is compulsory, and the
vessels vie with each other in the prompt
aess with which this salute is performed.

Ee Get His Rife Back.

A good story is told Of a young re-
cruit who enlisted III q regiment Of foot
The young fellow joined the army while
the country was threatening war with
Egypt, and he intended to mako q good
soldier. One day he was on guard duty
and was slowly stepping along when
an officer approached
After the usual salute the officer said.
Let me see your rife. -
The raw recruit handed over his rife,
and q pleased expression stole over his
face. AS the officer received the weapon
he said in o tone OF the deepest disgust:
"You' re fine soldier. You've given
up your rife, and now what are you &C.
ing to dor The young fellow turned
pale, and putting his hand in his pocket
drew big knife, and preparing for bust
ness said III Il voice that could not be
misunderstood:
''Ci' me that rifle, or III bore a hole
through you in minute
The officer instantly decided not to
play any further with the raw recruit,
and the rife was promptly surrendered

Columbian SCI Stamps Cornered.

Stamp collectors have learned with sur
prise that a New York firm has bought
up all the 81 stamps Of the Columbian
issue and raised the price to $3.50 apiece.
It is said the spectators learned that
only about 10000 of the 81 stamps re-
manned unsold and purchased them in
small lots from postmasters all over the
country. The full issue Of Colum ban
stamps at their face value is worth
1854, and it is estimated that there is
a demand for 10000 full sets. No set
will be complete without the 81 stamp.
The only way to break the corner is for
the government to print a new issue Of
the 81 stamps if the plates have not been

Treatment of tho Feet.

Awriter in Boots and Shoes has been
interviewing chiropodist on the care Of
the feet and has got this Information
from him concerning the treatment for
heated, tired feet after walking or stand
ing:
He says, truly enough, that authori-
tiesdiffer as to the value CT the various
foot baths. Hot water enlarges the
feet by drawing the blood to them.
Wh.n used, they should be rubbed or
exeEised before attempting to put on
tigh boot. Mustard and hot water III a
foot will cure u nervous headache
and induce sleep. Bunions and corns
and tallousness are natures protestaIions
against bad shoe leather. Two hot foot
baths week and little pedi>:uring will
remsve the cause of much discomfort.
II warm bath, with an ounce Of sea
salt, is almost as restful as u nap. Pad
die IN the water until it cools, dry with
a Tough towel, put on fresh stockings,
make a change Of shoes, and the person
who was ready to drop will then be
ready to stand up. But the quickest re-
lieffrom fatigue is to plunge the foot in
ice cold water and keep it immersed u1i-
til there is a sensation of warmth. An
other tonic for the sole is alcohol 1t
dries the feet nicely after being out i'll
thewet. Spirit baths are used by pro-
fessional dancers, acrobats and pedes.
TRANS to keep the feet in condition.
The ice cold foot bath seems rather
dangerous remedy to persons unaccus-
toned to it, and the caution Is suggest
ed to experiment with it i'll very mild
weather.

Mrs, Stevenson In the Chair.

Mrs. Stevenson presided at the recent
convention Of the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution. The wife of the vice
president has evidently never opened the
covers of her husbands authorities on
parliamentary order. But she was not
blind to her own defects, so she supplied
them quite easily by engaging as adviser
q mild hammered man, who neverthe-
less knew all about everything and
quashing and laying on the table. This
man sat at Mrs. Stevenson's elbow. told
her what to 90 next in all cases and scut-
tied u number OF ships in the shape O;
resolutions offered by adventurous
Daughters.
The first little incident of this sort was
when motion was offered by distin
guished looking woman from the Mount
Vernon chapter. Mrs. Stevenson was
standing at the time, and without wait
ing for any discussion asked the yeas and
nays and got them, too, before the little
man or any one else had chance to
dra q long breath. Immediately there
was = storm of opposition. Then the
mild paIliamentarian whispered some
thing to hrs. Stevenson. She pounded
III d 4adyllhe IahAei Will heI pretty
gavel and said:
''TIe question before the congress, la
dies, is the resolution. We can do one
of two things with it. We can either
we en- either what?" she blandly and
FRANKLY asked, turning to the blushing
parlhmentarian.
TWAS so openly done that it brought
down the house. Mrs. Stevenson laughed,
the little man laughed, everybody laugh
ed, and order was not restored for sew
eral minutes. Then they laid the reso-
lutin on the table and went gayly on
about their business.-New York Sun.

AN UNLUCKY DEPUTATlON.
The Villagers Followed the Lead OF the
Mayor With Ludicrous Consequences.

Mayor With Ludicrous Consequences.
On one occasion, while on a journey
through Italy, the pope halted at small
village. the inhabitants of which resolved
to send some Of their principal men as a
deputation to his holiness. The mayor,
who was to head the deputation, pro-
posed TO present him with some of the
chief produce of the eountry, consisting
Of pineapples, figs and cream. 1t was
accordingly arranged that each member

drcssi his followers: AS YOU do not
know very We'll how to ccu -luct your

lie procession was formed, with the
mayor stal king majcstically in front,
furnished, like his followers, with ba-
sin Of figs ii his left hand and another
Of cream i'll his right. There was u step
down into the room, but the mayor fail
ed to notice it. He stumbled, and the
shock sent his face and beard into the
cream basin. Trying to recover himself,
he only made matters worse, for he fell
upon his knees, with his hands and basin
under him. and his creamed face raised
imploringly to the holy father.
The members Of the deputation, think
ing that this was the proper ceremony to
observe in the presence of such distin-
guished parsonage, dipped their boards
in the cream, threw away their vessels
and bent down on their knees, at the
same time casting half inquiring and
confident look at their leader, as if they
meant to say: You see we are all right.
We have carefully followed your exam
Pile
The pope was at first astonished, but
soon burst into fit of the most bolster
GUS laughter, while the attendants,
thinking that the deputation had come
to mock theirmaster, began pelting them
with the saturated figs.
The mayor hobbled out of the room,
closely followed by his brethren, one of
whom whispered to him:
Glow lucky it is for us that we did
not bring the pineapples! How nicely
our heads would have been battered by

English Passenger Coaches.

The standard English passenger car
riage is considerably shorter than our
car, has three axles, no end platforms
and is entered by side doors The first
class car contains four compartments,
each with six places, three with backs
to the engine and three facing. The
seats are separated by broad and comfort
able arm rests, and there are arm rests
on the sides of the carriage also These
rests are low enough, broad enough and
soft enough to be comfortable. The
compartment is about feet square in
side, giving ample room for the six
seats, which are deep, wide, padded to
the height of the head and upholstered
better than anything that I know of in
America.
There are ample racks for hand lug
gage, a rug on the floor and one lamp
in the roof. The second and third class
carriages have five compartments, max
ing the seats less deep, fore and aft, and
giving less room for the knees than in
the first class. The second class compart-
ments seat eight persons, and the bench
across the car is divided by but one arm
rest, SO that if the places are all full you
anu one nelSnOOf are separated Dy only
an imaginary line.
The third class compartment seats ten
persons, and the benches are not divid-
ed at all, the five persons on side be
ing in pretty close contact. These are
not nearly as well upholstered as the
first class, but are good enough in THAI
respect. These are the standards, but
there are many exceptions. For short
distance traffic, for example, it is quite
common to seat eight in a first class
compartment and to seat ten in sec
ond class compartment H. G. Prout

Gen. Maury's "reminiscences

Among Gen. Maury's "reminiscences
of Fredericksburg, Va, are some of
Col. Byrd Willis. Somewhat late in
life, after breaking up his home in
Florida, he returned to end his days
in Fredericksburg.
He boarded with kinswoman of
his own, Mrs. Carter, decayed gen.
tlewoman of great piety, but appar-
emily not a frstrate bousekeeper.
Col. Willis took his meals for the most
part at a restaurant, although he paid
Mrs. Carter literally for the board she
was supposed TO furnish.
Ono day, a Col. Willis used to tell
the story, the old lady's resources
were exhausted, but she was equal
to the emergency. She took to her
bed, leaving this order with her ser
vant:-
"Nancy, there is nothing in the
house but mush for dinner. Give that
to tho boarders. If they are Chris
tians, they will eat it and be thankful.
If they are not Christians, it is much
better than they deserve"

A LECTURE ON UMBRELLAS.

Passengers on board a Br Dad way

and at Blocker street a well dressed

"You are afraid of your eyes, evil
