OLD CUSTOMS AT The CAPITAL.
Hospitality Was one of the Chief ChArse'
terlstics of the Residents.

Said n gentleman who has been fire.
quent sojourner at Washington during the
last 40 years: "Peoplo nowadays have a
distorted idea of the Hospitality OF ante
bellum times. The truth Is that the GUS
tomary hospitality of tie national capital
was southern hospitality, and it was vastly
different from the society and social Gus
toms of the present day. At that time IL
any man had expended $500 or 81 900 or
SIS. 600 upon an entertainment of one even
ing he would have beer regarded "a unit
Cor association with leading men ana
women of that day. TIE mereexpenditure
of large sums of money would have savored
too much Of the shop and OF the salesman.
Senator Douglas was one OF the most
charming entertainers have ever known.
In common with other prominent men OF
the day hs had his regular servants, and
they served refreshments such as were In
those DAYS 20 be found in the homes OF the
plain people and Of the leading people OF
the country. No one ever heard of set din
ners with regular decorations in stilted
manner such as prevail at the present
time. The entertainments were OF prim-
tive nature-that is 10 say, they were OF
a homelike nature
"Another thing that appears to me as
remarkable is the change which has CO
CURED in official life in the national capt.
tai. In the days before the war 1t was
customary for gentlemen from the south
who came to Washington as members OF
the house of representatives or as senators
each to bring with him young man, who
was to act as private secretary, for the
purpose Of being trained in politics, be-
cause politics was the gentlemanly profess
sion of the southern people at that time.
The private secretary Of representative
or of senator was regarded as student
of politics, and his standing was such as
a student of Yale or Harvard might obtain
in the cities where those institutions are.
According TO his family history and ances-
try and his own personal merit, the private
secretary of a senator or representative was
received In society, and he was regarded
as highly favored gentleman. Nearly
all of these young men attained or achieved
distinction as officers or soldiers in the
Confederate army during the civil war,
and number of them have become MEM
beers of congress since the conflict closed"

! have in my minds eye two old per-
sons, the best l ever knew, the best l ever
hope TO know. No one would perhaps ac-
tually call them READERS. - They never see
even the outside of a novel. / have indeed
heard them quote "Lothair,' and l think
"Pickwick (which TO me is evidence of
the tremendous rage there must once have
been for these two works OF fiction. Once
and again, too, line from Shakespeare
may fall from their lips. But on the
whole, they are not what the world would
call readers Probably they could not
distinguish the "Thanatopsis" from the
"Thanatophidia. If one mentioned do
do" in their presence, their minds would
in all likelihood revert to archaeological
ornithology. If one spoke of 1.-The Heav-
emily Twins" they would correct him and
politely ask il it was not 1.-THE Hebrew
Twins that was meant, a recent work,
which, L believe, deals with Jacob and
Esau. Yet these two dear old persons read
as few people read.
They read chiefly but one book, and this
Is the Bible but they have made that book
their own as not even, venture to say,
has Mr.. Gladstone made Homer his own.
l think / speak the simple truth when
say they rarely have need to consult q con-
cordance. So extreme n degree of special
ism is not suited, of course, to 1.-THE gen.
era" l merely cite this as an example of
the efficacy of following the rule to make
ones own that which one reads And for
tunately this rule is elastic, since it per-
mits-nay, necessitates-a choice of what

sonant with ones inGlinations. Black

When You Talk.

Don't monopolize all the talk. Don't be
one Of those whose speech is like the steady
flow of oil from a capacious tank, that
seems as though it might gush on forever.
In ordinary conversation give your CON-
panions fair chance, and IL you would
be considered a good conyersationalist be
careful to do your full share of attentive
listening rather than talking.
Don't talk too much about your rich re-
lations and distinguished friends. No one
is considered great merely because he
knows great people. Those who try to
shine by this sort of reflected glory give
out a very dim light, much DINNER than
they imagine.
Don't always talk on the same subject.
II you have hobby, whether 1t be the
north pole or the equator or civil reform or
woman's rights or anything else, spare
your friends the infliction of hearing the
same old story every time you meet them.
Don't fall into the habit of talking to
one who is occupied in reading. You are
doubtless acquainted with people In whose
presence you cannot take up a paper to
read short article without the disturbing
consciousness that you tire liable at any
moment TO be interrupted. If so, you
realize that this is habit to be summed
Don't in any conversation annoy your
listener with the perpetual question,
Don't you think soS" Perhaps your lis
tener don't think or care anything about
the matter, or he may not wish to express
an opinion on the subject, or the thing
stated may seem too absurd to deserve an
opinion. In any case the constant ques-
tioning becomes an intolerable nuisance.

The Bee lis No Fool.

A bee is busy little creature. When
the weather is fine 1t puts in long hours,
and If nature had provided it with an UNI
brella it would be glad to work In the rain.
IL can gather about "a grain of honey u
day--no more-and therefore you wouldn't
reckon single bee at a high valuation.
But hive of the ordinary size will shelter
10, 900 bees who do days work outside In
the garden and 10000 more who do the
cooking and sweeping and busting inside.
They make a nice little family, and II
they keep steadily at 1t they make good
deal of honey, OF which the owner of the
farm religiously robs them.

bees to the West Indies, hoping to have
