Ladies Must Remove Their Hat..

It will seem strange to the American woman, with her Declaration of Inde- pendence traditions. to hear that the director of the French opera has as sumed the authority to make a hard and fast rule with respect to ladies' bonnets. Even small bonnets are for bidden altogether for the occupants of the pit stalls on Saturdays, that being the only night when ladies are admit ted to this part of the house. Formerly the stalls at the French theaters were invariabl reserved for men only, but one after another their rules have re- faxed until the only one where it is re- tained absolutely is the Theater Fran caise. Ever since the question of bon nets has been constantly mooted. but hitherto without any actual result, it being so much against the habit for ladies to appear in evening dress ia such places that no one under the rank of an opera director could have ven tured on their adopting it.

A Iananese Tea Room.

Huge Japanese umbrellas are serv- iceable for many things, but one seen recently is so peculiarly striking as to deserve especial comment. It hangs from hook in the ceiling of small room in an artists home and forms the entire ceiling. Beneath it is the tea table and all it's paraphernalia, together with bamboo settee and five chairs, all set upon a Japanese rug. The tea service is of fine Japanese ware and the tea itself comes from Japan; the entire room is complete, and one feels on entering that it is 8 veritable bit of the land of chrysanthemums.

UNDER THE SPOUT.
A Strange Indian Method of Putting Lit
 tie Ones to Sleep.

Sir George Campbell records in his Indian Memoirs very strange habit of native mothers in the neighborhood of Sinla. He seems inclined to recom- mend it's adoption in England, but per haps he is speaking iii jest.
 l wonder not to have seen more no- tice of the curious practice of the hill women of putting their babies heads under spout of wa ter to send them to sleep and keep them quiet. When the new cartroad was first made, there was village at 8 haltingplace where rows of such children might be seen in a grove close to the road.
 The water of hill spring was so ad- justed as to furnish Q series of little spouts, each about the thickness of ones little finger. Opposite each spout was kind of earth pillow, and little trough to carry away the water. Each child was so laid that one of the water-spouts played on the top of it's head, and the water then ran off into the trough.
 1 can testify that the process was most successful. There never were such quiet and untroublesome babies as those under the spouts. The people were unanimous in asserting that the water did the children no harm, but on the contrary, benefited and invig- orated them. In fact, they seemed to think that a child not subjected to this process must grow up soft-brained and good-for-nothing
 Certainly their appearance showed no signs that this singular method of bracing the intellectual part of their bodies had done them any harm.

London's Lord EIaycr Is 8 Gorgeous Crea-

London's Lord EIaycr Is a Gorgeous Crea-
 turc When Arrayed in His Robes.
 The fountain of municipal honor in England undoubtedly springs from the Guildhall, London, which justly claims to be accounted the most an- cient of our municipal halls, seeing that the lord mayors of the last eight centuries are with justice assumed to have had prototypes in the Roman prefect and the Saxon fortreye or port grave. For considerable number of years. says the London Telegraph, the robes of the lord mayor, the court of aldermen, and the common councillors have been settled with precision that none save the most reckless of inno- vators would presume to disturb.
 The lord mayor himself has his ''gold" robe for the occasion of the an nual Guildhall banquet, and for the times when he proceeds in state either to the new law courts or to the houses of parliament. The aldermen have their scarlet gowns, the sheriffs their distinctive and very handsome robes and chains, while the common coun- cilors rejoice in gowns called ''mazar- ines" 1t being generally understood that mazarine is term for a dark blue color, although, according to some photographers, mazarine also means drinking vessel and an old way of dressing fowls. Then, again, when the sovereign comes into the city the lord mayor is bound to don a robe of crimson or purple velvet trimmed with ermine. At the time of his investi- ture he wears a massive gold chain, but when he is honored by reelection at the expiration of his term of office he wears two chains.
 The mace of silver gilt, surmounted by royal crown and the imperial arms, is carried before the mayor by the authority of the charter of Edward H., while the city possesses no less than four swords-one called the pearl, pre- sented by Queen Bess when she opened the first royal exchange, and so called from it's being richly set with pearls. The sword precedes the chief magis- trate on all occasions of rejoicing and festivity The sword of state is car ried before the lord mayor as an em- blem of his sovereignty within the city proper; the black sword is used on fast days in Lent and at the death of any member of the royal family, while the fourth sword is that placed close to the lord mayors chair at the central 11iro1 oO11rt

Newspaper naturalists report a change of habit among snipe in that they no longer follow the Atlantic coast indentations in their southern flights, but, departing from the British provinces. fly out at sea, barely skirt ing the extreme end of Cape Cod or Nantucket, unless driven shoreward by stress of weather. From Nantucket they pass out of sight of land until they reach their feeding grounds on the North Carolina sounds, where snipe shooting is still enjoyed in it's nriStine virOr

. VARIETIES OF CURRENCY.
The Circulation of Paper Money in This
 Country and in Europe.


 Almost, if not quite, all civilized countries use paper money to facilitate payments within their own jurisdic tion, says the St. Louis Globe-Demo- crat The United States use paper money to a greater extent than any other country. and in notes of smaller denomination than any other country of equal importance.
 All of our paper bills except the gold certificates are in the denominations of S1, 8, s, S10. S20. $50, S100, $500 and s1, 900; our gold certificates do not ap- pear in denominations less than S20. The Dominion of Canada issues S1 and 8 notes, and various banks issue notes varying from 5 to S1, ,000. Mexico is- sues paper money of 10 pesos and up ward. and the South American states issue paper of similar denominations. The Bank of England issues all Eng fish notes in denominations of 6, e10, e20, $50, e1OO, e2O0, $500, $500 and e1 GOO The banks of Scotland and Ire land issue notes of S1 and upward. The Bank of France issues notes for 50 francs, 100, 200, 800 and 1000 francs. The Bank of Belgium issues notes of 20 francs and upward. Italian banks issue notes of 1 lire and upward to LOGO lire. The Bank of Germany puts out notes for marks and upward to 1, 1,OO0 marks. Austria issues notes of 1 gulden and upward.
 Russia is the only European country which issues government notes, it's pa per money being Of the denomination of ruble and upward. Sweden, Nor way and Denmark issue by their banks notes for krone, 10, 25, 50 and 100 krone India does not issue paper money, nor does China now. Japan provides paper money of yen. ?, 5, 10, 20 and 100 yens, and the other coun- tries, as rule, issue paper money, the lowest denomination of which is usual ly ten times the value of the coin unit of value

A Curious Copt!c Custom.

The Coptic pa triarch of Alexandria is never allowed to sleep more than if teen minutes at any one time, and if the attendant should allow the holy ones nap to extend beyond the allot- ted time the penalty is decapitation Upon being aroused at the end of each quarter hour the patriarch arises and spreads his rug upon the floor, kneels upon it, bows his head three times to the east, and again retires.

Privacy of European Homes.

The Spaniard, however courteous he may be, never invites guest to din- ner; in Italy, too, the privacy of the family is seldom invaded at the dinner hour; the Frenchman is delighted to entertain, but prefers to do it at his club, while the Englishman is never so genial as when seated at his own table with company surrounding him.

WHO is Sound IN THE FAITH OF THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY"

The following is taken from the
editorial columns Of the Richmond
Dispatch of last Saturday, one of tie
leading organs in the South of the
gold bug party:
1--WE take it that everybody recog-
nizes Mr.. Cleveland as the head of
the Democratic party. If he is. not
its head it has no head. So the
members of the United States Senate
who govern their action by the rules
laid down by him must be recognized
as sound in the faith of the Demo
cratic party, and learners at the feet
of our Gamaliel, the President of
the United States"
Yes. Mr.. Cleveland is the head of
>one wing of the gold party. He has
his head under the plutocratic hat
with John Sherman. This reminds
us of the ostrich that hides its head
leaving the remainder of its anatomy
exposed to view. And the view which
the people have of the bird is not
very inviting. Yet the law is laid
down that the Cleveland and Sher-
man cuckoos are the only ones who
are ''sound in the faith of the Dem
ocratic party" So be it.

Capt. Kitchin in his card has
much to say against Northern Dem
ocrats. The South should recollect
that Northern Democrats have stood
by us when we needed friends; and
although we may deplore any diff,
ferences on financial questions; yet
those differences should not lead Us
to forget that they stand with US on
nearly every other subject, not
should we be Indifferent to their
friendship and past services to us
and their general patriotic course in
regard to public affairs.-News-O Oh.
server Chronicle May 18th.
THE CAUCASIAN readers can see from
the tone of the above,what is to be the
course of such Democratic papers il
the South.
They will all soon begin to chime
in and urge the honest yeomanry OF
this country to stand by the North
ern Democrats, for keeping off the
Force Bill, for their love for, sane
loyalty @ to the Democracy of the
South. The position of the NO.
Chronicle is clearly shown in the
above; it is with Plutocraey, yet pre-.
tends to be loyal to the masses.

"AMERICA"

Magnificent, Marvellous Spectacular
Drama, Vividly Presenting the Lead
ing Events in the History of America.
One of the grandest sights at Chi
cago during the Worlds Fair was a
spectacular presentation of the chief
events connected with the discovery
of America and the leading points in
the subsequent history of the United
STATES given every night at Chicago's
Monmouth Auditorium. The drama
is now being reproduced in Washing
ton city on d smaller scale. To give
the readers of The CAUCASIAN some
idea of this brilliant spectacular
drama, which is beyond description,
We reproduce the following from the
Washington Post:

Marches and professions, fetes aud

follow one another in such quick sue

difficult at times to keep pace with
the grand moving array of events, as
they pass before him on the mimic
stage.
"At one time We are away back in
the misty past, in the days of Isa-
bella and Ferdinand, when Column

the needed vessels with which he ex.
pected to discover the new world.
The scene changes, and the spectator
is on the Atlantic, with Columbus
and his mariners on board the Santa
Maria, the Nina, and the Pinta.
Then follows San Salvado and the
Indians. Once more we are back in
Spain, in the old city of Barcelona,
where the mobiles and people -1rong

cts sounding, music playing, and all
the houses, as well as people, are
decked in holiday attire. Amid this
gay scene King Ferdinand and Queen
Isabella, followed by their retinue,

temporary throne erected for them in
the public square to receive Column
