The Interesting Program for the GurreH
Week in the Social Circles
WASHINGTON, May I4.-The Country
Club teas will be a pleasing distraction
for the ensuing week, and in some re.
spects, perhaps, the only large gather
ing announced. The Country Club ha,
its ups and downs like other less fash.
ionable bodies, but the worst ordeal II
has undergone has been bad weather
on the dates set apart for ceremonious
occasions at the club house. Suburban
delights are just in line this weather
and the coming two Wednesday teas
will be doubtless all that their project.
ors hope for in the way of weather and
fashionable attendance.
II would be considered very unin.
teresting week indeed in this city which
was not seasoned by charitable en-.
tertainment. This week for every day
their is some sort of out of town fete
on the cards, and heading the list fOf
today, is the one Of which sweet char.
ity has control. Il will be q flower
fete and will be given at Mr.. John r.
McLean's grounds, Holmead, corner Of
Nineteenth street and Boundary, from
I to : o'clock, for the benefit Of the
children's Hospital.
II has been hastily gotten up, but
will be none the less fascinating foi
that. Mrs. Il. Francis Riggs, Mrs. s.
:. Rowland. Mrs. Letter and other Ia
dist have it in charge.
Wednesday the first of the Country
club teas will take place, aud Thurs
day, among the other attractions, Miss
Gwynn viii give . tea at the Gulf club
Fort Myer Heights. ..~.

the Mistake That the Intensely Busl
i American An Too Often Makes
There are no buster people in the
world than Americans. The rush and
intensity Of our business life excites
she constant wonder Of foreigners 40
eustomed 70 more leisurely methods,
says the New York Press. II Is ques
ton II American men do not work too
hard and too fast not merely for their
own good, but for the highest good Of
their families. In their earnest desire
10 win material benefits for their wives
and children they frequently toll with
such unwearying industry that eating
and sleeping come to seem 70 them like
impertinences, and they are hardly
more than transient visitors 10 then
households.
In the old Greek and Roman relL
gions the father Of the family was the
priest of the family. A profound sig
nihcance underliesshis ancient concep-
ton. It's but an embodiment Of the
eternal truth that the highest moral
responsibilities devolve upon a man In
bis character Of husband and father.
That the married man Of to-day often
finds himself unable 10 spend any con-
siderable portion Of his waking hours
with his own family Is owing largely
10 the stress of business life and TO the
ambitions fostered In country whose
citizens are welcome to the highest Do
sitions In the land II they can via
them. But this constant struggle for
material welfare should not be permit.
ted 70 increase 50 far that the ''things
that are more excellent" are forgotten
or ignored.
Sometimes a child dies, and then the
busy father may realize that Il was In
deed little stranger who came TO him
and went away again. He had watched
the growth Of his business with intense
interest and he knew every aspect Of
II; but he had not had time 70 watch
the growth Of a child's mind and char
acter. The American wife and mother
can change In o great measure this or
der OF things by holding up true ideals
OF what constitutes success In life and
Of what makes q home worthy Of
che name; for the husband IN q great
majority Of cases Is guided by the wife,
and will bring back TO her what she
gives 70 him. II life 10 her means moth.

A PlLL-MAKlNo CRAB.
The Queer Habits or an Interesting LittI
Creature.

| tfcHturos
Mr.. Collingwood, in his 'sRambles Of
. Naturalist, gives an entertaining 40
count of these tiny creatures, which
are mostly of about the size OF q pea
though few are as large as filberts
He found them abundant on the shores
OF the Malay peninsula, his attention
being first called to them by seeing the
beach, after the going down OF the tide,
covered with loose powdery sand and
holes Of various Sizes Looking more
closely. he discovered that little radi.
ating paths converged among the litter
Of sand to each hole, and that the sand
Itself was In minute balls.
The instant approached peculiar
twinkling in the sand was visible,
which required quick eye to recog-
nize as the simultaneous and rapid re.
treat of a multitude Of tiny crabs into
their holes, not a single one remaining
visible.
Kneeling down and remaining mo
tionless for few minutes, ! noticed q
slight evanescent appearance, like q
flash or bursting bubble, which the
eye could scarcely follow. This was
produced by one or more Of the crabs
coming to the surface and instantly
darting down again, alarmed by my
proximity. It was only by waiting like
statue that / could induce them to
come out and set to work.
Coming cautiously to the mouth Of
the hole, the crab waited to recon-
hotter, and If satisfied that no enemy
was near, It would venture about It's
own length from its lurking place; then
rapidly taking up PARTICLES Of sand In
its claws, IL deposited them In groove
beneath the thorax. -
As It did SO a little ball Of sand was
rapidly projected as through Its mouth.
This It seized with one claw and de-
posted on one side, proceeding in this
manner until the smooth beach was
covered with little pellets, or pills, cor.
responding in size TO its own dimen.
sions. II was evidently its method of
extracting particles Of food from the
sand.
made many attempts TO catch one
before succe eded. At last I caught
two specimens, which Immediately
curled themselvesup and feigned death.
Iput one of them on the sand to see
what it would DO. At first II did not
attempt to move; but after little, by
. twisting and wriggling movement, II
rapidly sunk into the sand and disap-
peared.
The other one put into hole which
already contained crab; but novisible
result followed. I then attempted to
dig 1t up again, but in vain. dug up
many holes; but though I soon arrived
at the soft, wet sand underneath, never
succeeded In procuring . pill-malina
srab by digging 1t out.

scandal has assumed national dimen.
sions. Few persons hesitate to say
that the judge disgraced the bench by
usurping the functions of the prosecut

editors last week, and the newspapers
throughout the empire agree as rarely
before, in admonishiDg the govern.
ment to act quickly in response to pu6.
lie opinion. The popular agitation has
increased in the last three days until il
promises 70 raise the most important
political questions in both Landtag sni
Reichstag. Not only is q reform OF ju-
dicial methods called for, but the
greater freedom of the press also from
police restraint is demanded az an i'm.
mediate necessity. Saturday TIA Ber

allowed. While the members Of the
Berlin bar show their determination TO
vindicate their own peoples rights, the
journalists and publicists consider
Brausewetter's sneering remarks about
the newspapers more as an attack upon
the rights of free press. A meeting
has already been called for Wednesday
at the journalists club to protest
against the license allowed the courts
and police in dealing with the news
