WHEN SMILES ARE IMPOSSIBLE.
WOman's PitiabIe Plight on Wet
and Windy Day.

From the Pail Mall Budget.
The utter absence of a sense of humor
from the average feminine composition is
never more clearly visible than in a busy
thoroughfare on a wet ami windy day. A
woman may be philosopher, she may have
original ideas and brilliant theories on the
fundamental questions of morality and
ethics, but she rarely rises superior to
muddy boot or a dragSled petticoat. The
woman is an exception indeed who manages
TO preserve a smiling face in the teeth of an
east wind which plays shuttlecOck with her
umbrella and dreary sleet which beSpatters
her clothes and freezes her fingers. Young
or old, fair or plain-scarcely one of them
VINO does not frown omnOusly as she hur-
RES along. forgetful of other peoples feel
lnSs and umbI elias and toes hustlng and
JoStnng, with never a glance for the alb
surdlty OF the situation. For there is some
thing unmitiSatingly ridiculous about pedes-
trlans on really bad day; nobody wants to
walk on the outside of the pavement be-
cause OF the splashing omnibuses and cabs:
everybody wants to pass everybody else
regardless Of the limited space afforded by
the conSlomeration of umbrellas; everybody
pushes and elbows and shoulders and when
an umbrella appears in sight all considera-
lions Oh gallantry or politeness or sex or age
are forgotten-it becomes an object lesson
IN the survival of the fittest" and free
nSht or something near it ensues in which
the falr sex undoubtedly manage to bear
their part with more than tolerable grace.

patched to them and there should be at
least half dozen stenographe-s out in the
rotunda. The clerks of the committees
could be utilized for the purpose. Then
while men like that constitutional ex-
FOUNDER, for instance, who is practicing
Delsarte poses, and to whom nobody is lis
tening, is consuming time, the stenograph-
ers could be taking down the stories. OF
course they would have to be severely edit
ed and eXpurgated but after pruning they
should be printed, at government expense,
in a periodical called the Congressional
Courant or Clown, or something of that
kind. A good round sum should be charged
for the subscription, and I'll warrant the
circulation would reach the million mark
in less than a week. The Congressman
would thus be earning their salaries in a
manner much more congenial than now.
There would be less bad legislation, because
the stories would be immensely safer than
framing odious bills, and the few real work.
ers In the congressional hive would get all
the odium attached to legislatng on bad
measures. After defraying the expenses of
the magazine, the surplus could be applied
to maintaining the gold reserve, liquidating
the expenses of the government ana pen
sioning dethroned monarchs. That would
MT a great burden off the Administered ton.
Then the democrats could have free trade,
because I'm perfectly positive that a maya
zine run on the lines l have laid down
would raise revenue enough to run two gov
ernmentS like ours, and the republicans
would have no kick coming, because as
there would be no taxes to pay there would
be no need Of protection to American in
Sututlons. Even the pOpulists would have
nothing to howl about, because they could
not object to a scheme that would give the
widest circulation to their peculiar kind of
humor. Oh, it's great scheme, 1 assure
you. L verify believe that if the adjourn
ment for lack of a quorum of admins
trationers" had not come just then that
Miss Dare would have proclaimed her policy

be hardships indeed If they were practiced
AT the present day. Thus, il IS related that

just as sackcloth and ashes were used by
eastern people ana transplanted from their
places OF abode to Europe, so is it alleged
1hat most OF the rigors of Lent are Of
oriental origin. It is doubtless due to the
TACT That the people of the east have larger
lmaglnauons and smaller appetites than
other people. They do not require as much
food They are more impressonable and
are easily led into enthusia SIN and they put
IL in practice. To them. il is said Is due
the old-fashioned Lenten custom Of eating
but one meal a day, and that meal to con-

eating no meat, of eating sparingly and OF
drinking nothing but water for forty days

decidedly beneficial TO the health, provided
IL is not carried to an extreme. II permits
the digestive organs to have a rest, as Il
were, and TO get in good condition for the

GAY SOCIETY OF RUSSIA.
The Women Invctcratc Dissemfnntors
of Political Gossip and state Secrets.

Those who are best qualified by expert
cree to express an opinion are unanimous
in declaring that there is no gayer or moro
brilliant society in Europe than that at ST
petersburg. 1t has a cachet all its own
says the Lady. and if it is less difficult of
access to foreigners than London or Paris
society it is so simply because hostesses too
implicitly rely upon their friends of both
sexes not to introduce into their salons any
but persons of irreproachable character
The Russian lady is so clever that she
does not require any details of a story
she SCeSSeS at these, and, if necessary
supplies them; in other words, invents
them. The one word which n c.uileless
Official has let drop-whiCh she has Sur
prlsed on his lipS"-serves her as the KEY to
the mystery: the rest is easy. OF course
she only communicates these state secrets
10 her most intimate friends, who them
selves are sworn to secrecy, but she has SO
many friends of both sexes that in an in
credlbly short space of time the important
morsel of gossip is literally all over St.
Petersburg. To the foreign ambassadors
she is more valuable than a legion of spies
Those persons are assiduous visitors to
the leading salons, where as may be sup
posed. they pick up quite as much as they
want to know, and thus are often better
Informed than the emperor's minister of
foreign affairs himself. There is a mad
race among the fair leaders of the grande
InoIlue 10 attract the largest number of
diplomatistS and great perSCnages in their
drawing rooms. Thus it happens that the
younger women, if not excluded from the
salons which they would so adorn but for
this political craze, are not often seen in
the principal houses, save at balls and SIM
liar frivolous gatherings. The St. Peters
burg salons are really not a whit better
than the mems clubs, presided over by
maitresse de maison. The very boudolrs
are transformed into studies, the grandes
sales into places of rendezvous for poli-
ticians, and the bedrooms into warehouses

A GROWN OF GLORY,
WOman's Hair and the Care 1t Should
Receive.

fine head of hair is within the reach
of almost any woman by the use of most
ordinary and simple means. Here are some
useful suggestions:
When the hair has been neglected, cut
it to even length and wash the scalp night
ly with soft water into which ammonia has
been poured.
This may be strong as possible at first,
so that it does not burn the skin. Afterward
the proportions may be three large spoon
fuls of ammonia to basin of water. APP
ply with a brush, stirring the hair well.
while the head is partially immersed.
A healthy system will supply oil enough
for the hair If the head is kept clean. If
the scalp Is unnaturally dry, a mixture of
half an ounce of carbonate of ammonia in
a pint of sweet oil makes the most es-
teemed hair invigorator.

From the New York Sun.
Mrs. Billtops had Just said to Mr.. Bultops
that she felt like having good cry.
when does a woman feel Ike having Q
good cry?" said Mr.. Billtops.
''Oh, lots of times" said Mrs Billtopst
when things go all wrong and she's OVER
worked and disappointed"

"why. about everything or anything. o.
something that she had in mind that she

disappointment or overtirednsss more than
anything else"
Does man have any condition OF mind
corresponding to thatr' asked Mr. Billtops.
No." said Mrs. Bnltops. he couldn't
have. He doesn't have anything TO make
him feel that way. 1t isn't the big troubles,
but the little ones that bother. You know
how IL is with a man. He gets his break
fast and goes to his work and gets through
at a certain time, and goes home He has
his bothers, Of course. but when he gets
through his work he is done; but a woman
sometimes has so much TO do that she
doesn't know at which end TO begin, ana
when she does begin everything goes crook
ed; or she may get up with big days
work all planned out and have everything
go wrong from the very minute she starts,
and when the day is over. although she has
been busy all day, she hasn't done anything
that she had planned to do"
lis there any real relief or comfort In q
good cry?' said Mr.. Billtops.
There is, generally" said Mrs. Billtops.
People say there is always a relief In
tears. 1t certainly takes away the feeling
that YOU want to cry"
At first this seemed to Mr. Billtops like
rather a vague conclusion; but the more he
dwelt upon it the more philosophical and
satisfactory IL seemed to be. He did think
that Mrs. Billtops took rather narrow
view of the troubles that men have, but
then, he reflected. each Of us is apt TO look
upon his own mountain Of suffering as the
highest in the range.
