Leaders Of Society at the Capital who Do
Their Own Marketing.
There is one custom peculiar to life
at the capital which has become so COM
monplace that it no longer attracts at
tentien-the fashion of society women
doing their own marketing. At about
10 o'clock the market might be taken
for some fashionable interior, so crowd
ed is it with handsomely dressed wom-
en-. In Watching some fashionable woIn-
an select her marketing for the day a
writer realized why Washington din
nefs have become so justly celebrated
the world over. The Washington wom-
an lives up to her reputation and leaves
nothing to mar the completeness of her
feast
Mrs. Carlisle is constant in her attend
ance on the market. Few official wom-
en- feel that they can spare the time to
spend an hour OF so at the marekt three
times week. But Mrs Carlisle is a
notable housewife and enjoys the relax
alton of bustling about in a crowd. She
is direct and businesslike in her deal
ings. and what would take some wom-
en- the whole morning to accomplish she
has finished in half an hour The wives
Of the other cabinet officers have all
taken peep at the market, but they
are too much occupied just now in get
ting settled in their new homes to give
this part of the housekeeping their espe-
cial attention. So many of the senators
wives go as usual thing that it would
be task to name them ALL
Even those who board find it dis
traction and make the buying of flowers
an excuse to spend an occasional half
hour there Mrs. Hale, Mrs. Mcmillan,
Mrs. Stockbridge, Mrs. Sherman, Mrs.
Manderson, Mrs. Coci1rell, Mrs. Vance,
are occasional visitors. 1t is worthy of
note that these women, especially cele-
brated for the excellence of their din
ners, are almost Invariably seen at the
market, often accompanied by their hus-
bands, whose epicurean tastes have stin-
ulated their wives to educate them
selves in gastronomy
Mrs Marcellus Bailey makes regular
trips to market and buys with discrim-
ination. Mrs. Dahlgren drops in now
and then to buy some flowers. Mrs.
General Sheridan is faithful house
keeper, and one rarely misses her face
ON market days. Her sweet and gentle
manner has made her great favorite
with the men who stand behind the
stalls, and she is always sure of prompt
attention. Few of the foreigners have
adopted this Washington custom, which
is doubtless due to the fact that com
paratively few of the diplomats have
their families with them, and their
households are managed by servants.
Nine. Guzman, the American wife of
the Nicaraguan minister, is enthusiastic
in her attendance and says she enjoys
her trips to market as much as any of
the social dissipations. Nine. Romero
goes but seldom. Sheis not very robust,
and society makes heavy demands on
her. Washington Post.

Derolicts of the Sea.
Helen Gray Cone in St. Niche


After very severe storms at sea the
ocean is always full of wrecked vessels,
floating with keels in the air, sometimes
with only the masts above water. and
curiously enough sometimes with only
the bow or the stern being visible.
These vessels are called derelicts of the
sea, derelict meaning anything that is
utterly forsaken or voluntarily aban-
doned by its proper owner. The most
dangerous of them all are those that are
turned directly over, Inasts downward,
leaving nothing above water to warn
approaching vessels.
Our government always sends out
vessels to find and sink or destroy any
derelicts floating in the course our ships
are apt to sail. The pursuit and the
capture of them are always exciting and
even dangerous operations, and the his
tory of voyages undertaken for the pur-
pose is full of thrilling chapters, chap
ters quite as thrilling, in fact, as any
that relate to voyages undertaken for
finding hidden treasures on faraway
islands. 1t is only, suppose, because
it is not SO romantic TO find an old
wreck and to make away with it as it
is to find bags of pirate gold or splendid
Jewels that the stories of derelict cap
lures have not been oftener told. Still,
whenever you read accounts of storms
and then of vessels being found by
/, searchers sent for them you may be sure
very sule-that exciting stories of
them could be old.-New York World.

Artist and Amateur.

A critic, who was recently asked to
define the line between artist and anna
teur stated that an amateurs sketches
were labored and finished up to invite
favorable criticism, while the artist S
sketches were broad and unfinished,
suggesting much to himself only.
Could not the dividing line be better
defined? The amount of time spent on
a sketch often depends upon opportu
nifty. When the time is not needed else
where, one quite able to sketch in the
boldest, most rapid style may prefer to
go on and produce a picture, trusting
to the inspiration of the present rather
than of the future. and to vision rather
than memory. If something greater is
to be subsequently developed from the
work, it will be no less suggestive be-
cause of its finished character.
1t may not be easy to define the divid-
ing line between artists and amateurs,
but it is easy to point out we'll recog
nized one that is identical with 1.-THE
one that is drawn between poets and
mere writers of verse. Art Amateur.

Suspension by the feet was tried as

The case appeared desperate, and though
tempted repeatedly to abandon his
efforts DR.. Shrady was finally reward
ed by the return of consciousness. This
was his first unpleasant experience with
chloroform, although constantly ON the
lookout for it. 1t demonstrated in a
striking manner the rapidity and force
of its action at time when danger was
perhaps least expected. The patients

Tcccntric ToiIets.

Some of the eccentricities of the tot
let this season are very curious. An
"ox eyed Juno" on Fifth avenue recent
ly carried out the bovine effect OF her
head, probably unintentionally, by hav-
ing two little ivory colored horns, curv-
ed like those of the South American
cattle, on her bonnet. One camddsut
on either side of mass Of soft brown
velvet which answered very well for the
broad frontal of the animal between the
horns, and yet the hat was not con-
spicuous-it was only the coincidence
that made it appear funny. Another
odd inspiration agathered shoulder

fur tail. It was on very handsome
jacket, and evidently the owner was

Keep Their Girls In Cages.

The inhabitants Of New Britain, an
island in the Pacific ocean, it is said by
Wallace, have peculiar custom of con-
fining their girls in cages until they are
old enough to be married. This custom
is said to be peculiar to the people of
New Britain. The cages are made of
the palm tree, and the girls are put into
them when or years of age. These
cages are built inside Of the houses, and
the girls are never allowed to leave the
house under any circumstances. The
houses are closely fenced in with sort
Df wickerwork made of reeds. Ventil-
lation under the circumstances is rem
dered difficult. The girls are said to
grow up strong and healthful in spite
of these disadvantages.

Sew Rad of soclefr Girls.

The young society bellies have "a new
tad. To hear about it will enlighten
rot few of the young men who have
been mystifed since the fall began over
the despoiling of their new hats. The
fad is to take the little bow that fastens
the lining of mans hat and wear il
thereafter hidden in their shoe. BY
some subtle influence the superstition is
that without fail they will have an offer
of marriage from the young man in
question within month. 1t must be
taken without the young mans knowl-
edge or the charm will not work, and
young ladies are resorting to all sorts
of subterfuges to obtain the bows.-Chi-

The Action of Caloroform.

The impression held by DR.. George
F. Shrady as to the greater safety of
chloroform in young people, relatively,

with the case of boy patient, about 9
years of age, whom he saw in consulta-
ton with two other physicians, and who
was to undergo an exploratory opera

"slower" than those of other civilized
nations, but they frequently reach the
mark as soon as their more rapid broth

Draw line on both sides along the ex-

tween the two sides, indicate one line
by darts; the other by dashes. Paste
the ends of the paper together so that
the center line will be continuous, but

A PRELUDE,

In youth, beside the lonely sea, S
Voices and visions came to Inc.
Titania and her furtive broods
Were my familiars In the woods.
From every flower that broke in fame
Some half articulate whisper came.
In every wind felt the stir
OF some celestial messenger.
Later, amid the city's din
And toll and wealth and want and sin,
They followed me from street to street,
The dreams that made my boyhood sweet
AS in the silence haunted glen,
So mid the crowded ways of mon.
Strange lights my errant fancy led,
Strange watchers sat beside my bed.
III fortune had no shafts for me
In this aerial company.
Now one by one the visions fly,
And one by one the voices die.
More distantly the accents ring.
More frequent the receding wing.
Full dark shall jo the days in store,
When voice aad vision come no morcl

entitled to returns from them, she was
indebted for freight charges.
AS the poor woman sat quite over
whelmed by her misfortunes, there
came an eXulting shout outside, and
the next moment Grit and Matey
rushed in, alive, well and breathless
with excitement.
''Hurrah motherr' cried the former

that filled his mind was: "He is as
crazy as crazy can be-" however, he
carried out his instructions, and when
he regained the schooner's deck found
it occupied by all the passengers of the
stranded steamer.
Take them off on a five minutes
cruise" ordered the captain, as with
his own hands he cast off the lines
holding the schooner. Then he swung
himself up the steamers side, and dis
appeared in his own cabin.
AT the end of five minutes the Poly
anthus was nearly a quarter of a mile
away, and her young skipper, who was
trying to answer a hundred questions
at once from the bewildered passen-
gers, was also wondering what he
should do next. All at once it was
noticed that the propeller of the great
ship was working furiously backwards.
Then came the most surprising thing
that has ever happened in all the an
mails of wrecking on the Florida reefs.
There was a heavy Migratory explosion,
accompanied by a muffied roar. To
those who happened to be looking to-
ward the ship at that moment, she
seemed to be lifted bodily from the
water The next instant she was
enveloped and hidden from view in a.
vast. fountain-llke column of foam.
Directly afterwards the ship reap
peared, floating as steadily as ever in
