Washington has a unique life, though how long it will remain so no one can tell. Fresh with the beauty of youth, situated at the pleasant mean between the ex tremes of heat and cold, possessing a cli.imte which throughout the greater portion of the year admits of the only proper life life in the open air with sunshine as spar kling and skies as blue as Italy's, it presents to those who wish them political, scientific and social life, and soon it will offer a literary and artistic life, which, second to none in the new world, may possibly in no long time be equal to that of any in the whole world. In Washington one may, accord ing to taste, hear discussed the most advanced theories of science in every field, the political news of every country, and enjoy a society as simple, cultured and refined or, if one prefers it, as pretentious, as empty and diverting as in any cap ital of the globe. It has a social life, if not as bril I liant, at least as agreeable as that of any other national capital. Commerce, we are assured by those interested in it, covers as wide if not as extensive a field as any other metropolis, and we are promised soon an increase of manu facture so that those who love it need not despair of having in time substituted for our present pure and unccntaminntcd air as filthy an atmosphere as that of the greatest manufacturing citv in the country As to the spirit which produces this, we already have this in abundance. In fact, Washington naturally demands consideration from every standpoint. Historically, political ly and socially it is a field for the in vestigator, the student, the lounger. And he will be hard to please who cannot find in its various and di verse activities as many varied ob jects of pursuit as he will find in the varied scenes amid its elegant avenues lined with trees of every kind and variety.

At a reception one evening a gen tleman came to Mrs. Siddons and said, "Madam, I beg your pardon for asking so rude a question, but in consequence of a wager allow me to ask your age. She replied, ''Seventy-eight years old." "Hang it," said he, "I have lost." And he abruptly went away. Mrs. Siddons immediately said, "I'uppv !" "Very true," I observed, "but why did you tell him you were so old ?" "She replied : 'Whenever a lady of an uncertain ago. as it is termed is asked how old she is, she had bet ter add ten or more years to her age, for then the inquirer goes away snvincr 'Whaf firm olil wnillllll !' " "Journals of Sir George Smart." Madcap Princesses. The three princesses at the court of Louis Alv. delighted it practi cal jokes and were for ever in some scrape or other. One night at In anon thev procured a petard an exploded it beneath the window o monsieur's bedchamber. Once when the court was at Marly the odor o: an exceedingly pungent tobacco was wafted to the king's nostrils ns he was on the point of retiring to rest, which, upon inquiry being made, was found to proceed from the apartments of Mine, de Char tres, where she and her sister were smoking pipes borrowed from the Swiss guard.

"Everybody has heard the story of the woman who thought she could draw checks regardless of the state of her bank account as long as the checkbook held out," said a New York bank official, "and every bank has its stories about women depositors and their careless meth ods, but we received a check recent ly which was unique. It was signed 'Truly yours, Clara.' It was part of a department store deposit. We sent it back and learned that a short time before the same woman had signed a check 'Yours affection ately.'
