Unique Life of Washington and Itl
Promise For the Future.
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. Thomas Nelson

A "Fine Old Woman."
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 !' "

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. From H. Noel Wil
liams' "A Rose of Savoy."

Women and Bank Checks.
"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.' "New York Tribune.
Rochdale Clothiers.

dation of its prosperity in the reign
!of Edward III., when a body of
Flemish emigrants took up their
abode there and introduced their
craft as clothiers. Rochdale in the
time of Queen Elizabeth had be
come so famous for its woolen man
ufactures that the "aulnager," the
official appointed by the queen to
measure all woolen cloth made for
sale, had to appoint a special deputy
there to keep pace with its manu
facture and. Bee that the crown wa
