an idea not remotely connected with the ambitious project of getting her son safely welded to 8 well-lznown heiress, who shall be nameless here. That she will be here very shortly no one questions, but her going has brought up once more a peculiar so- ciety snarl, quite unprecedented in cul tured pur1ieus. Mrs. Mackay is par tisan on one side of the war, and has tened to London with the intention of being prominent in the fray.
 The conflict arlses out of the rival ambitions of Henry White, our former secretary of legation in London, and the present American ambassadorial regime there to control the social destinies of our countrymen and coun- trywomen. Henry White has never 1orgiven those who caused his rather } ignominious election from a position of great social importance. His wrongs were taken up by a numerous section of the American colony, which believed that MT. White had been kicked out to get an Astor in. It was bitterly asserted that Mir. White would take house in London and show the an1bassadorial regime that it would suffer socially. 10 be sure, the ann bassador presents at court, but the Ambassador cannot get the smart set to take anyone up. That requires an- other kind of inf1uenee-the sort pos sessed by Henry White. When, there fore, any individual had the backing of the embassy he was sure to be Crowned down by the White faction.
 That brought about highly compli- cated situation for Americans eager to be recognized socially in England. Very soon our colony became hopeless ly,divided, and it began to look even as if Mir. Roosevelt must be recalled. Nay, there was runor circulated to that effect. Then it was that Mrs. Mackay hurled herself into the breach. 1t is alleged that the Whites. when in power, were somewhat supercilious to this powerful woman, and if so she is being amply revenged. She has, in spite of #lnany eceentricities, enormous personal Influence in London with the real Rot ten Rowers, as they say over there, and it was not long before she had given the embassy quite a measure of inf1u- ence with all of them.
 But when Mrs. Mackav was compelled to absent herself from London matters assumed a less favorable aspect. Mir. Whites proud boast that whatever hap pens he ''saws wood and says nothing" became justifable the moment his enemy had turned her back. She re 4ceived many letters from London friends imploring her aid. Now that she has returned to Europe the situation may change materially.

Particularly is this the case in New York Men who apply for positions of importance in the public service make it a regular prac- tice to represent in their petitions that they represent the veterans Another practice is to organize veterans clubs, in which there are no old soldiers whatever, yet it is claimed that the G. 4.

 the society, an American, who had met with an accident near the White Lodge. Tie matter of royalty receiving pres ents was looked up, and it appeared that under no circumstances could the duchess accept the gift. Thi5 may be all very well, but the fact remains that the late Mrs, W. ". Astor presented the royal lady with a dog and parrot, both of which gifts were accepted. To be sure, tho situation was changed, for the princess was Mary of Teelz then, and had visited Cliveden with her mother and been impressed with the accomplishments of the parrot. More over, she and Mrs. Astor were friends. It is, however, very unlikely that any attempt to present the duchess of York with tokens of esteem of admirers on this side of the Atlantic will succeed.

The mileage of the blood circula- ton reveals some astounding facts in our personal history. Thus it has been calculated that, assuming the heart to beat sixty-nine times minute at ordi- nary heart pressure, the blood goes at the rate of POT yards in the minute, or seven miles per hour, 16s miles per day and 6,s2o miles per year. If man of eighty-four years of age could have one single blood corpuscle floating in his blood all his life, it would have travelled in that same time 5,15o, sos miles.

A medical journal says that in the continued use of the eyes in such work as sewing, type-serting, bookkeeping, reading and studying, the saving point is looking up from the work at short intervals and looking around the room. This practiced every ten or fifteen min- utes relieves the muscular tension, rests the eyes and makes the blood supply much better.

A large attendance was the only thing
lacking last evening to make the charity
concert, held in Convention Hall as great
a success as could be desired. There was
nothing but praise to be bestowed upon

it seemed small gathering for Convention

RegImental War Libraries.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Noticing Senator Manderson's account of
the regimental library of the nineteenth
Ohio infantry. I desire to state that the
very first thing l did. In April. 1861. as
chaplain of my regiment. the tenth New
York volunteers, was to so around among
the publishers there. and they gave lib
orally toward making us one of the finest
libraries, of hundreds of volumes. The
officers were so pleased with 1t that they
had made fine double-hinged travelling
case, with side handles. and wanted to pay
me for collecting the books, which on re-
fusing they gave me vote OF thanks
When closed the library case looked like
travelling organ. The only trouble L found
was that the books never got lower down
than the line officers. the privates having
seldom chance at them. Returning home
al the close Of the war, they took it with
them. / heard of other libraries after that
of ours, but could not row name them.
