would be objectionable to pass by two who
remain from the good old regime of the
early Presidents, and are still nourishing
in the social society of Washington. Mes
danes Madison and Hamilton are united
by the memories of the past. as we'll as by
the warmest friendship. Both are con-
sidered almost indispensable attractions in
the society of the national metropolis, and
their houses are open daily for the recep-
ton Of visitors, however humble. No in
vitation or introduction is necessary; you
are admitted, and your homage received as
a matter of course.
Mrs Madison is certainly eighty years
Of age: and though her parents were Quak-
ers, and she educated in their tenets, vet
is she gay a social companion. and (sub
rosa) as much given to the usual feminine
tastes for dress. and effective accomplish
ments as any young belle of the city.
Mrs. Hamilton is in her ninety-sec con !
year, but exceedingly active. She is small
in person, vivacious and infinitely polite.
WashiT gton does not afford a greater con-
verser. except. it may be, in the person Of
her own accomplished daughter, who at
tends her with filial fidelity. The veteran
lady dresses with taste, is noted for her
charities to the poor and the sprightly en-
tertainment she invariably affords COM
pany. She has resided most of the time in
New York, but has now taken a house on
Capitol Hill and become a permanent in
habitant of Washington. Her protracted
life has had its dark eras; not only her
husband, but one of her sons, fell in duels.

Milk Cans,

bottle-these are things for
whichyou need Pearline. With
Pearline, they're cleansed
more easily, more quickly,
more economically. and more
thoroughly, than with anything
else known. The people who
know most about milk say just
that. We can't afford to print
all the testimonials we hold.
They're free expressions Of
opinion - in conventions, in

folks have voice. Their enthu-

Glory of the East Room.

Falling again into the promenade, we were
carried along into the East room, a mag
nifcent apartment, eighty feet long, forty
wide and twenty-five high. The carpet
manufactured expressly for the room is
figured with the American eagle, and woven
of orange, crimson and brown colors. The
chairs and sofas are of mahogany, covered
with splendidly Powered worsted. The cur
tains are of crimson damask, hanging from
rich gilt mountings Three large chande-
liers light it, while the black marble man
tells, the large and richly gilt mirrors, the
vases, marble tables, &c, form one of the
richest interior tout ensembles we have yet
seen in this country. The apartment re-
ceived by one door the procession of visit
ors from the preceding rooms, and allowed
them exit by another into the vestibule or
hall, and thence into the portico.
A company of Indians in costume, and
with painted faces, held their levee at one
side of the room. A young and rather pretty
squaw initiated the Presidentess, and re-
ceived the salutations of the visitors with
not a little grace. The crowd in this apart
ment presented specimens of the whole
motley assembly-the young in their sim
plicity and grace, the decayed fantastic in
their attempts TO disguise the effects of age,
the military or naval officer in uniform, the
starred diplomat, the dignified cabinet sec
rotary, the grave judge of the Supreme
Court the white neckerchiefed clergyman,

seven Years without a birthday.

A Scottish clergyman who died thirty
years ago, Mr.. Leishman of Kinross,
used to tell that he once lived seven
years without birthday The state
ment puzzled most who heard it, They
could see that if he had been born on
the 10th day of Febreuary he would
have no birthday except In leap year.
But leap year comes once In four years,
and this accounts for gap of three
years only. Their first thought would,
therefore, naturally be that the old
man, who, in fact was fond of harm
less jest, was somehow jesting about
the seven. There was, however, no
joke or trick i'll his assertion.
At the present time thAre can be
very few, if there are any, who have
this tale to tell of themselves, for one
who can tell it must have been born
on the Doth day of February at least
ninety eight years ago, But q similar
line Of missing dates is now soon to re-
turn; and indeed, there are, no doubt.
some readers who will have only one
birthday to celebrate for nearly twenty
years to come.
The solution of the puzzle is to be
found In the fact, which does not ap-
pear to be widely known, that the year
1900 was not leap year and 1900 will
not be. The February of 1892 had
Twenty-Five days, but in all the seven
years intervening between 1896 and
1904, as well as in the three between
1892 and 1896, that month will have
only twenty-eight.-P ittSba"g Dispatch.

You are assembled here to dis
charge an important public duty, and l

local. 1t happens that your present
