Rivers That Flow Backward.

Near Argostoli, n town on ono of the
Greek islands, four little torrents Of sea
water, rolling on an average % gallons a
second penetrate into the assures Of the
cliffs, flow rapidly inland and finally grad
ually disappear into the crovices of the
soil.
Two OF these water courses arc sufli-
ciently powerful 10 turn all tho year round
the wheels of two mills constructed by an
entorprislng Englishman. This seems at
first sight absurd on the faco Of it, but u
Is quite easily explained. Tho hills OF the
island aro Of soft, oalcarcous rock, full of
assures, and suck up water like immense
spongcs.
In consequence the pools I'm their subter-
rancan cavcrns are always lower than the
surrounding sea, so, to restore the balance,
these little brooks, fed by the waves, are
always descending inland. Tho curious
yot natural result Of the constant cvapora-
ton of tho sen water is that gigantic masses
of salt crystals are constantly forming I'm
tho caves. Strand Magazine.

CONFINED In AN ASYLUM
An Actress Tells of Her Husband S
Cruel Treatment.
Though Sane, she Was Kept in the
Institution Over Year-A
Divorce Granted.

Chicago, Jan. 23.-Grace Jennings, who
is known on the stage as Grace Vaughn,
was granted a decree OF divorce in Judge
TUthill's court today on the ground of de-
sertion. Her husband was Andrew r.
Jennings, son of a. r. Jennings, a Cleye-
land dentist. The complainant told a
story concerning her Incarceration in d
State insane asylum in Cleveland which
greatly impressed Judge Tutfill.
She said she was married in 1892. Dur
ing the summer Of S91 she became i'll with
nervous prostration and was taken by
her husband to the home of her father
! at Cleveland. On August 8 her husband
informed her that he was going to take
her TO a hospital He placed her in a car
riage, and drove up to q large building
| a few miles from the city. She said she
knew it was an insane asylum for there
/ was a sign over the entrance. Her hus,
| band told her he would return for her in
! two weeks but she did not see him again.
Il remained in the asylum said the
! complainant, until the 2Sth of February
! the next year, when l escaped. / wrote
to friends and the family Of my husband,
| but my letters were destroyed and the
! letters sent to the family of my husband
received no attention at all. / was
| perfectly sane all the time, although when
| taken there / was sick and nervous. /
appealed TO Or. Eyman, the superintendent
of the asylum, but without result"
Judge Wing, of Cleveland, testified that
he searched the records Of the probate
court of that city and found that on
March Z, 1895, an entry had been mad,
OF the commitment of Grace Jennings IL
the asylum. The order was dated back
as of the year before, showing that 'vher
! the complainant was incarcerated there
had been no court proceedings.
Mrs. Jennings attorney stated that {
| damage suit would be begun against The
| husband. his father and Superintendent
| Eynan and in that way the matter woult
! be investigated in Ohio. Judge Tuthjl
said that if tile attorney would not tik'
| action he would communicate with the
| Ohio authorities himself.

Strange TO say, the President ana ms
Cabinet, who, of course, are very ''cluba-
ble'' men, are never seen in any Of the
Washington clubs This is 10 be regretted,
for they could all keep in closer touch with
the representative people at the capital who
belong to il. 1t would be a pleasant sight
TO have the President dropping into the
Metropolitan or the Army and Navy now
and then, and thus enjoying some of the
social and club side OF Washington life.
Secretary Herbert has the making OF a
club favorite in him, while Mr.. Olney
would find recreation from the State De-
partment grind ], for instance, could tell
him or the President some things of in
teresU he will never hear at a Cabinet meet
ing or a state dinner. Then there is Post
master General Wilson, one Of the most
genial and clever OF men. He should be
member OF all the clubs The Attorney
General, Mr.. Harmon, and the Solicitor
General, Mr.. Conrad, are also capital ma
terial for club timber. As we grow older
and more mellow in our civilization, and
our high officials cease to sit up with the
dignity OF their office, and play hermit as
| far as clubs are concerned, we may hope to
| see the President and his Cabinet unbend-
| ing enough to enjoy club life, which S not
in the least Incompatible with their high
| official position.

The spectacle of the father of a family
in friendly game of poker in one end of
the fashionable quarter OF the town, and
the mother engaged in similar sport at
home, the children having been hurried off
to bed is not edifying. They are both play
ing for money and next morning their win
nings will be the chief topic before they
come down to breakfast. The custom OF
women playing cards for money after being
dead about so years, has revived, and now
we have young maids and matrons, and
old women with one foot in the grave, who
are as eager for the game and keen for the
money as the poker players in .'the flush
times of Alabama" / must confess don t
like to see Il lot of women playing poker
for money with men or each other IL de-
stroys ones illusions about the sex. The
petticoat, like the flag OF the Prophet, has
so long been sacred as the emblem of all
thatis sweet, gentle and refined in woman.
that to see IL at a gambling table is a
shock This. Of course, is rank fogyism, and
iffollowed by ydisapproval of cigarette smok-
ing and cocktail drinking, and the allure
mrnts OF the punch bowl along with gam.
bling will doubtless bring down on my
head the derision Of all the feminine poker
experts and mint julep tipplers in THE
upper circles"

The Attorney General, Mr. Harmon by
name. is well known all over the country
for his Democratic manners.c He not only
goes to the ball game, but he sits on the
bleachers among the rooters, looks out
over the diamond, smokes leisurely, and
has a thoroughly good time. Moreover,
he is a steady patron of the deadly dairy
lunchroom; he likes pie, and sometimes.
he takes it with the equally Democratic
glass of milk.
A few weeks ago he was proceeding west
ward TO Cincinnati, or else he was pro-
ceeding eastward from Cincinnati. The
train stopped for two minutes, or perhaps
1t was for three minutes, at way sta
tion, and, as is usual in such cases, it
was all out for luncheon. MIR. Harmon
made for his customary piece OF pie. Stand
ing next TO him was a fine, big fellow
from tie West somewhere He thought
he recognized the Attorney General, and
proceeded TO pass the time Of day. ,t9.
Seems TO me | have seen you some
where BEFORE he said.
Yes" said the Attorney General; we
have met before. You are the United
States marshal for the southwestern dis
trict of Oklahoma. / am the Attorney
General" :"
That's good one on me- said the
marshal; for it was one OF the Attorney
Generals Subordinates, with whom he had
had business not three weeks before 1T
the Department OF Justice.

The Buck and Wing Dancers

There was a prize buck and wing dancing
contest at the Academy last night, and the
management OF "In Old Kentucky" as
announced early in the week, offered a
medal to the winner. AS a consequence
the lords of the upper gallery were there
in force and held full sway when that
feature OF tie evening carried. There
were eight entries, several Of them from
here. and their supporters in the gallery
let no opportunity pass to express their
pleasure at various stages Of the contest.
The judges were: Mr.. Howard Burr. The
Times; Mr.. Thomas Wilkinson, The Post;
and Mr.. R. H. Armstrong. The fun was
fast and furious and the dancing showed
what the Washington boys can do in that
line, but Patsey DAILY, the only white CON
testant, outdid lis colored brethren an(
carried off the prize.
