of the United States Treasury IN re-
gard to the business improvement
throughout the country is very en-
couraging He states that "the I'M
provement has come rapidly and per
meates all lines of industry. 1t began
with the agricultur class. The farm
ers have large crops and are getting
good prices for them. The cattle
raisers are benefited by substantial
raise in the price of cattle. The same Is
true with the sheep-raisers. This inn
provement in agricultural earnings has
had its effect on the railroads by in
creasing their earnings. 1t has put
money into circulation and enabled
people to pay off their debts, and has
thereby benefited the merchants.

During the month of March. 1862.
two transports, or sailing vessels, were
conveying from New York to Ship

sections of battery Of Vermont troops.
and it was on one of these vessels-the
good ship Wallace, Capt. Lane. that
the senior officer on that vessel, now
resident of st. Paul. made daily a
memorandum, not necessarily for publ
cation, but as evidence of good faith
that he was there. One Of these entries
and the only one to which he will now
refer, runs as follows:

n A peculiar custom prevails at the two
fashionable hotels in the springs The
three daily concerts are held in the
great Hobbies Of the hotels, where both
sexes assemble to hear the music Scat
tered among the ladies, the men lounge
and smoke, blowing the clouds in the
faces of the fair sex without a thought
as to whether it is agreeable or not.
As l sit watching the many people in
the lobby Of the Hotel Eastman, I
notice that this objectionable breach Of
etiquette is practiced more by the gen
tlemen who have Travelled among the
four hundreds Of society all their lives,
and for whom there is no excuse. In
one corner of the lobby sits a son Of
a Chicago multi-millionaire. He is
chatting with Miss Byrnes. daughter Of
the well-known eX-inspector Of the
New York police department. He is
pulling away at a cigarette, every bit
of the smoke striking his charming
companion directly in the face. I can
see how it distresses the young lady,
and wish that she would do as she
ought to, and leave the young aristro-
crat 20 enjoy his cigarette by him
self.
Some well-known author said that
a young mans greatest curse is a rich
father. 1 am led to believe it when
lock at the son Of the famous pluto
crat. Through indulgences and no
need of looking after himself, his face
has no traces of self-assertion or power.
His mouth Is small and insipid, quicker

constant putting of tiny, white, Turk
ish cigarettes. His collars are of the
highest; so high in fact, that it is inn
possible for him to turn his head with

cupies a great deal of his time, and
the carefulness with which he regards
the crease Of his trousers, would make
one think that the future of a nation
depended upon their hang.
The majority of the young, and also
old men at the hotel, come to breakfast
and lunch attired in many hued sweat
erS. Now when some thin, scrawny-
necked man comes to meals thus attir-
ed, it is enough to make one lose an
appetite.

oshington Etiquette
Social Obligations That the Presidents

The etiquette of Washington life in
its official. diplomatic and social phases
is truly eXacting even to those who
keep to the head and front in the OBJ
. legations of their own small circle.
Therefore how much more puzZling 1t
OF necessity must be to one who, like
Mrs. Mckinley, has been practically
transplanted from the environment of
inYalidism to the position and duties
that devolve upon the wife of the presi-
dent. To her there must come many
moments of indecsion, and a faux pas
committed is heralded from one end Of
the United States to the other. There
fore. it is we'll for all American women
to be told what would be expected Of
them if some day they should become
first ladies OF the land, for in this dem
ocratic country there is a chance for
all of them to occupy the exalted po-
siiion into which Mrs. Mckinley has
just stepped.
The wife of the president is the one
WI man in official life exempt from max
ing a first call, as during her husband
administration she is the first lady of
the land upon whom every American
as we'll as every foreigner of distinction
visiting Washington must pay the mark
OF respect of a first call When the
wife of an eX-president arrives in
Washington she must at once make
int ulSt cdH at the w Hlle mouse. Inc
presidents wife must then return that
call within the period Of three days.
The courtesy is greater when such
cal! is returned the following day.
When a member of royalty or person
of any exalted rank arrives in Wash
irgton it is etiquette for such person to
make a first call at the White house.
This ceremonial call generally lasts
about five minutes. and in the event
of such caller being a woman has to
he returned by the wife Of the presi-
dent within three hours.
