It is again reported thatthe Norfolk and
Western railroad has determined to re-
yiye the attempt to construct the pro-
posed line from Front Royal to Wash

and the route has been surveyed. All
arrangements hBd been made to construct
the line in 1897 and right OF way was
bought mp TO the District line. Then
Congress. was appealed to for permission
30 enter the Dstrici, bur tor some reason
ssh d Congress and tho Pennsylvani'
rtilro.i alone can explain this permits
sion was refused. The right Of way to
the District line is still owned oy
railroad, and inasmuch as great libera
IFS IS shown railroads now by Congress
anathc- appeal for admission to the Dis
ret Is 90 90 made.

Settling n Hotel Eli In Portugal.

SettltnE n hotci LII IN EofNuBHas
In Portugal when the traveller asks
for his bill the landlord pleasantly rubs
his hands together and answers,
"Whatever your excellency pleases to
give"
This will not do, for the traveller Is
sure TO offer too little or too much and
70 be thought either a spendthrift or a
nlggard, so he has. to make a speech
thank the landlord for his confidence
and beg for o detailed statement.
Then the landlord, politely deprecat
ing anything of the kind, is slowly per
suaded to check off the various Items
upon the fingers of his hand, with a
long argument before each successive
finger Is done with and doubled down
"What does it come tor asks the
traveller, taking out his purse at iasI
when the hand and the account are
closed.
"What, did his excellency not add
upY
His excellency having been incapable
Of this act Of mental arithmetic, the
addition is gone over again, from the
little finger backward, with finger or
two perhaps representing forgotten
items brought into account from the
other hand.
The sum total is gladly paid, and host
and guest are mutually content, the
guest knowing that he has not been
oyerchargcd more than perhaps a
thumb and two fingers.

Whims of a Horse.

Tho better the horse the more spirit
he has. The disposition Of an Arab
hunter is thus described by Sewell
Ford in "Horses Nine" No paragon
however, was Pasha. He had tenn
per, and his whims were as many as
those Of n schoolgirl. He was partcu-
lar as to who put on his bride. He had
notions concerning the manner in
which a currycomb should be used. y
red ribbon or a bandanna handkerchief
put him in n rage, while green, the holy
color of the MOhammedan, sOOthed his
nerves. a lively pair Of heels he had,
and he knew how to use his teeth.

Ancient NeedIewOrk.

Some Of the oldest needlework extant
was found in Egyptian and Egypto-
Roman tombs-a rough sort of faXen
cloth. like the bath toweling OF our
own day. 1t has loops Of wool worked
with some kind Of needle, raised on
one side of the stuff only, and KIND
of tapestry partly woven and partly
outlined in needlework. Tho mummies
which an Unsuitable modern curiosity
has disturbed are wrapped in hnen as
less liable than wooden cloth to the
ravages of moth, and the art Of weav'
ing the flax that grew so plendfully on
the banks Of the Nile was probably
learned by the Israclites during their
sojourn in Egypt
Ezekiel speaks Of "fne linen with
broidered work from Egypt" Linen
seems the natural ground and founda-
ton of all embroidery. 1t often lasts
longer than the work itself, can be
cleaned and Will not fray or wear out
as do more costly silks and satns.-
