Lost in London Cabs.

No less than 3S,O25 articles were found in cabs, etc., in London last year, and as many as 2,955 people left their purses and money behind them during that period, says the Westminster Ga zette. How any one could leave his watch behind him is somewhat pug zling, but 206 people achieved this feat. Bags containing valuables numbered 2,595, while among other "unconsid- cred trifes' were S11 opera and field glasses and 257 rugs. There Is food for much thought in the fact that one seems more liable to forget an umbrella than a walkingstick, for the walking sticks only totted up a beggarly s16, while the umbrellas reached the hand some total of 17,020.

Patents in Englan6.

It may be interesting to notice that the number of applications for patents during the year 1897 was no fewer than 3O,936. The applications in 1896 num- bered in the aggregate 3O,194, as con- pared with 25,065 in 1895. It must not be supposed, however, that all these applications lead to complete patents. In 1896, with its 3O,194 applications, only 13,3O0 were completed, the rest being allowed to lapse after the nine months protection. The inventions comprise every class of manufacture that can be imagined, but principally engineering. Not a few of the appli- cants for patents are women, of whom there were nearly TOO in 1896, about 15O of these inventions relating to dress London Times.

Social Etiquette at Washineton.

The wife of the President makes and returns no visits. The wife of the Vice-President pays first visit only to the wife of the President The wives of Senators make first calls on the wife of the President, the wife of the Vice President, the wives of the Ambas- sadOrs, the ladies of the Supreme Court and upon each other in the order of the length of service of their husbands in the Senate. The wife of the Vice-Pres- ident holds receptions on Wednesdays, cabinet day, because her husband Is a member of the Presidents cabinet, while the day of receiving for Sena- tors wives Is Thursday, between the hours of and 6 in the afternoon. These receptions begin after the 1st of Jan- uary and continue to be held until Lent begins. Some ladies observe the day for receiving all the time Congress Is in session. The customary prepara- tions for holding an afternoon recep- ton are to station one man at the drive to open and shut carriage doors and call carriages, and another at the hall door to admit callers and take cards. The hostess receives the visitors, stand ing near the door of the entrance, and Is dressed in a high-necked gown. which may otherwise be as elaborate as taste may dictate. Visitors may be announced by name to the hostess by an usher, or may speak their names themselves.
 Any person Is 8t liberty to make the visits at the homes of Senators, and all persons are cordially received. Those leaving cards expect their visits to be returnedi resident and nonresident sightseers, who call without inuoduc- ton Of any sort. d1 not leave cards. A large proportion or the official folk owe first calls to the ladies of the Senate the ladies of the cabinet, the wives of foreign ministers, and the wives of the members of the House of Congress. These are termed duty calls" and must be returned In person. A woman whose husband Is in the Upper house" can be quite as exclusive as any lady of private position, if she so desire The women of the cabinet could not close their homes to the public, however much they might wish to do sO.-WOm- ans Home Companion.

Electric Eel in London.

Once more an electric eel is in resi- dence in the insect-houSe at the Lon don zoo, and once more visitors, anx- ious to test its powers, can be thor oughly shocked for sixpence. Pretty we'll half of the body of this extraordi- nary being Is occupied by organs which are not only electric batteries, but ac- cumulators as well, and the shock Is sufficiently powerful to numb ones arm for minute or two, and to klll a good-sized fish on the spot. The two ends of the fish seem to be in opposite electrical conditions, so that those who wish to make experiment of its prop critics should grasp both head and tail simultaneously, in order to obtain the full benefit of the discharge.

One Can Always Give HimselG

One of the pleasantest of day dreams Is to imagine how charitable you would be if you had plenty of money. The role of a bountiful master or mistress is delightful one, and it is easy to imagine how, if you had a command of for tune, you would make people happy and with what grace you would receive their gratitude. Of course few persons can venture to indulge the hope that they will be rich, but while we are dreaming these dreams 1t is we'll enough to think whether we are showing our selves charitable in the use of what is really within our command. Take, for instance, one's thoughts. It is natural enough to put a hard and bitter con- struction upon the actions of others. Possibly, from superficial point of view, their conduct warrants 1t. But thoroughly charitable person-one who would use money benefcently if he had twill certainly make allowances for others and only reluctantly come to the severe judgment. It is a mistake also to suppose that money can do every thing. There are good many persons who would not if you were as rich as Barnato take penny from you. They do not want your money, even though they are not rich themselves, but they would prize considerateness, sympathy and fellowship. If we withhold these things that are surely within our pow CT, probably we should not be so very oarer1r7s if fz-a had v,Ief.+.- 0F r,7cy7ev

In DipIomatc Disgrace.

The United States has been a nation with foreign relations about century and a quarter During that time seven representatives of foreign governments have been dismissed The first instance was the case of Genet, minister from France. during WashingtOn's second term. He was recalled in 1794 at the request of this country for endeavOr- Ing to stir up trouble between the Uni ted States and Great Britain. During Jefferson's administration, Vrojo, the Spanish minister, was sent home on ac- count of conduct not only unbecoming a diplomat, but even in an honest man and a gentleman. Jackson. the British minister, during Madison's first term, was recalled on a request from Wash ington because of offensive criticisms of this gOverume~t. In 1899 General Taylor then President. sent the French minister. NJ. Poussin, his passports. During General Grants first term the Russian minister. CGtacazy. was recall ed at our request, and during President Cleveland's first term like fate hap pened to Lord Sackville West, the British minister. Then follows the De Lome affair of recent date In all, the recall of seven ministers has been de handed, two British, two French, two Spanish and one Russian,

One Occasion When the Clever Woman

One Occasion When the Clever Woman
 Was Surprised and Confounded.
 The brightest time for Mrs. Carlyle's talk was during dinner. Day after day she poured fofth witty stories, most of which have almost forgotten, but in my case it would be dissertation to at- tempt to repeat almost any of them. The characteristics of living men and women were often dashed off in few plthy words, not without satirical touches. George Henry Lewes was not one of her favorites, but I noted with pleasure the way in which she spoke of the wonderful transformation effected by the influence on him of George Eliot.
 One of her experiences was when vis- iting shoemaker shop to make 8 pur- chase, at the time when sandaled shoes were worn, like those represented in the original illustrations of Dickens. The sandals were of black ribbon, uncut until the shoes were worn by the pur- chaser at home. Mrs. Carlyle tried on many shoes, and each time that a shoe proved unsuitable she unconsciously slung 1t on to her left arm. Being at last suited, and having paid her bill, she left the shop, and had walked lit tie way when she heard shout behind her. Looking back she saw the shop man running after her, much excited and insisting on her returning the stolen -'---. T~"i-i-@- @"--- sI," sow tn har

Reader for the President.

The long-standing occupation of one
 of the White House clerks Is gone.
 Back through several administrations
 it has been the duty of one man to read
 the newspapers for the President. This man read and clipped and pasted. He filled scrapbooks with such articles on
 the administration as he thought the
 President might want to see at some future time. But, besides this, he read with reference to what might be of i'm mediate concern to the President
 When he found anything he thought the President would like to see at once he clipped 1t and pasted it on 8 sheet
 with the date and the name of the pa per. These sheets were laid before the President as regularly as the mail re- quiriug his atteutiGu. The reader for the President had a place on the White House staff as far back as Grants time, if not earlier. He went through all the principal papers of the country. It was in this way that Mrs. Grant saw the beautiful tribute to her daughter at the time of the SartOriS wedding, written by the late John N. Edwards, of Missouri, which she acknowledged as the expression that had touched her most deeply. The reader for the President has been abolished. MT. Porter is a newspaper man, and he believes he has a better way to accom- pliSh the same purpose. Furthermore, tbo DrncidaOt has 0 SpInct OIlmhpr Of which he prefers to go himself. These papers are not of one part of the country or of one DO litical party. Visitors at the White House have been surprised not infre quently at the evidence they have had of the Presidents familiarity with the and their positions on vari- ous questions.-Washing letter to St. Louis GlObe-DemOcrat.

" The hu- nor III this taie was enhanced to those who knew her from it's being so much out of keeping with her usual shrewd- ness and self possession that no one could have predicted it of her.
 Her death scene, year later, when "Mr. Sylvester" as she named her coachman, during a drive, turned and looked into the carriage-surprised at receiving no orders as to ropte-and saw her sitting, lifeless, with a pet dog on her knee, has often risen to my thoughts.
 My strongest impression was of the deep mutual love evidently subsisting between Mrs. Carlyle and her husband. Every subject we discussed seemed to recall thoughts of him. If the piano were opened, his song of the 'blue day" was referred to or asked for; if any literary man were mentioned, his opin- ion of him was given, or 8 story was told showing his relation to other men of note. felt as if listening to the love talk of youthful engaged couple, and when, in later days, Froude opened ul a foodgate of misunderstanding I felt assured there was a radical misconoep tion of the true state of affairs.-Ne1 York Independent.
