“Monsieur."
The French Figaro publishes the fol­
low ng minis ng incident, which is said
to have taken place during one of the
state dinners at Berlin, and at which
the late Lord Beaconsfield and the Mar­
quis of Salisbury were present:
Prince Bism irck, who is well known
to be a great eater, tilled his piate with
cherries; the Marquis of Salisbury ob­
served it.
“Prince,” said he suddenly, “what
you are doing is very unhealthy.”
“What?” said Prince Bismarck, ìd
astonishment
“You have just swallowed two cher­
ry-stones.”
‘•You are mistaken,” said the Prince,
with marked coldness.
“Never!” replied Salisbury, with that
hauteur which characterizes the proud
English aristocracy.
“Monsieur le Marquis!” said Bis­
marck, his eves shooting fire.
It was at t'his moment that Lord Bea­
consfield came to the rescue.
••Perhaps,” he insinuated, in his
softest voice, “yon are both right; your
Highness must be so occupied with ser­
ious thoughts that you might inadvert­
ently have swallowed a tiny stone.
“Two!” interrupted Salisbury, in a
decided tone.
“Or two,” continued Lord Beacons­
field as calmly as possible; “and you,
my dear Lord and colleague, enjoy
such good sight that nothing escapes
you. Now, Prince and Marquis, will
you allow me to decide this difficult
question?”
“How?” murmured Bismarck.
“Your plate, Highness, if you
please.”
This last was in English, the corres­
pondent adding that Lord Beaconsfield
was the only diplomatist at Berlin who
never talked French. The plate was
eent to Lord Beaconsfield, who at once
emptied the contents on the table. All
eyes were now fixed on him. With his
long, bony, agile fingers, covered with
precious stones, he began to arrange
what looked more like a child's game
than an occupation worthy of such a
distinguished Minister. He put all the
stones in a line, and placed a stem on
each stone. Then in that clear, pierc­
ing voice that has so often moved the
House of Commons, the English Prime
Minister began to count one, two,
three, and so on to forty-seven stones,
and likewise with the stems till he had
counted forty-nine. The proof was
there—two stones were wanting.
Bismarck rose and said in an agitated
voice: “Marquis, you are right!” then,
turning, said in a loud voice: “Lord
Beaconsfield, you are a great man!”
A Ghost Story About “H. H.”
Spiritualists are interested in a curious
little story, whose truth is vouched for
by “leading women” of San Francisco,
which is told of Helen Hunt Jackson.
It seems that before her death a friend
told her of a poor woman whose hus­
band had left her with an infant child
to care for, and Mrs. Jackson directed
that some articles of her own wardrobe
should be given to the object of their
sympathy. The woman in her gratitude
gave her little daughter Mrs. Jackson's
name. After her death, the poor wo­
man took up her child one day, and.
calling it by name, said: “Oh, my little
girl, the laiiy who was so good to you
never saw your sweet face, and she
never knew how I loved her.” At that
moment, the woman related, a hand
was laid on hers, a sweet, motherly face
bent over her and said: "I am not dead,
I am here.” The woman had never
s jen Mrs. .Jackson, but she described
her perfectly in feature, voice, and man­
ner.
Under the postal telegraph system In
England—that is to say, management
by the government of all telegraph lines
—the number of messages sent annually
has increased from 9,000,000 in 1870 to

Living in Washington.
Washington life in any form is costly.
It was not so in the old times, or as late [
as the 'seventies, but at last the rich and i
fashionable visitors have done their per- '
feet work in this city, as in Paris and '
Newport. One way to live in Washing­
ton, of course, is to go to a hotel, and |
this wav is not so very much costlier
than others, after all. Another way ra
to buy or rent a house outright. But by
far the larger part of the visiting con­
tingent seek a suite of rooms, either
furnished or unfurnished, as the ease
may be, with board. A suite of two or
three furnished rooms in anv desirable
location will cost a man and wife all the
way from $X0 to $150 a month. Very
stylish apartments will run still higher.
Board ranges from $20 to $160 or more
a month for each individual. There is
one other way of living peculiar to j
Washington, which is extensively used,
but which cannot be conscientiously rec­
ommended. This is to take a suite i
vntnout Doara ana nave meats Drought
to one's room by a caterer. There are ;
many of these caterers here, and they
do their work as well as is possible in I
the nature of the ease. They charge ,
only about $25 a month apiece, and |
furnish an abundance of good food as
expeditiously as they can. But the in­
conveniences anti drawbacks of the
plan are obvious. The food has to be
cooked at the caterer's headquarters anti
carried in trains to his patrons’ homes. I
Then the table has to be set and the
viands extracted from the vehicle and i
placed upon the dishes. By this time
all the cooked articles have become cold j
and must be heated again over the fire
or an alcohol lamp. All the courses are
brought in at once, anti while one is be
ing eaten the next is cooling and be­
coming spoiled. In fact, ttie whole
meal is spoiled before it reaches the
house.— Capital Letter to Boston Travel­
ler.

Magnesium, which has more than
once been abandoned as a source of
light, appears likely to be employed
again, a process having been discovered
for producing pure magnesium by eleo-
trolysis, mid at a price much less than
that at which it was formerly obtain­
able. At the works in Bremen, where
the manufacture of magnesium is car­
ried on, prizes are offered for the con- I
structiou of the best magnesium lamps

Donaldson, the swimmer, recently
swam the Mohawk at Schenectady tied
hand and foot. A young athlete thought
that he could do the same, and after a
friend had well tied him he started to
cross the river.
Half way across he
gave out and went down. His frighten­
ed friend in a boat tried to get him in­
to the boat, but couldn't. Neither could
he untie the ropes.
Meanwhile the
swimmer was taken with severe cramps.
Finally the man in the boat tied a rope
around the swimmer's neck and thus
towed the half drowned athlete to shore,
where it took considerable rubbing and
stimulant to reduce the cramps and get
the youth in good conditiou again.
“Speaking of the meanest man in De­
troit? said Snaggs last night. “I'll tell
you what I know of one man right here,
and a millionaire ten times over at that.
My friend Mr. Jaggs recently borrowed
$10,000 of him for ninety days at 12 per
cent, with good security. VVell. when
he came to pay the lender a dispute
about the sum of two cents arose, and
Jaggs sworn that he wouldn't pay any
olu skinflint two cents more than was
due him. Why,’ he said, ‘you’re posi­
tively the meanest man in Detroit to
quarrel about two cents.’ ‘That’s where
you're mistaken,’ said the banker. ‘Let
me introduce you to my son-in-law; he'd
fight for a cent’ Jaggs declined the
offer with thanks, paid the two cents to
the next to the meanest man in Detroit.

Pure Milk ft>r a Hunimt-r Drink.
“Anything new in summer drinks?**
a reporter asked a bartender.
“Yes—no, but tippling in pure milk
is the fashiou uow.
Hundreds and
thousands of people in this city driuk
several glasses of milk per day. and
gladly pay a nickle per glass. There
is a good protit in the trade, and the
restaurants and eoufeetivuers are pre­
pared to meet the demand. Dozens of
people, geutlemen and ladies, of all
ages aud conditions, call here every
day and buy a glass of ice-cold milk,
and drink it with evidcut relish. Even
the drug stores are beginning to see
the demaud, and many of them are
prepared to meet it. luucau go into
ainmst any first-class drug store and
obtain a large glass of pure milk, right
off the ice.
it is, I think, the best
drink of all for hot weather. It queuch-
es thirst, does not promote excessive
perspiration, aud affords a healthful
and easily assimilated article of food.
It is largely taking the part of lager
beer us a summer drink. There is as
much food in a pound of milk as there
i» in a pound of beef, and it is digest­
ed and assimilated without difficulty
and with no overproduction of heal. I
know several persous who, during the
past ten davs of hot weather, nave not
eaten as mucn sunu loou as woum
make one square meal, yet they are in
good flesh, have good appetites, and
excellent health, and have not felt any
bad effects of the heaL They are sim­
ply living on milk aud light bread al­
most entirely.”
Journalistic Trials in Philadelphia.
A Philadelphia correspondent of the
New York Hem <1 writes: Lawyers who
do not belong to the coterie of news­
paper parasites never get their names in
the papers. Possibly they may f<*el some
envy or resentment; but they will never
stoop to the ignoble act of coddling or
intimidating newspaper editors or pub­
lishers. 1 use this word ‘intimidating’
with due consideration, for there is hard­
ly a new -pa|>er writer in Philadelphia
who has not. nt some part of his career,
been threatened by shyster lawyers, who
insisted that their names must be con­
stantly put into the papers. Why, to
choose an apt illustration and one known
to nearly everybody, a lawver recently
brought an action in a Philadelphia court
for libel upon the flimsiest pretext against
n Philadelphia newspaper man for the
admitted purpose of getting revenge for
the omi-sion <>f his name from a brief
report of a magistrate’s com i ease. And
a judge unwittingly lent himself to the
outrageous persecution. This sounds in­
credible, but such things happen here.
This same lawyer even went further, a
great deal further. He tried to pul the
newspaper man in jail by having the
capias served so late in the afternoon
that sureties could not lie found, hut, de­
bated in that, li<‘ actually had the audno-
itv to go to the bondsman who had
tendered his name to the persecuted
writer and attempted to browbeat him
into withdrawing his friendly assistance.
He belong-- to the cla«« of lawyers who
figure promilioJitl) in the newspapers
here, and such is the treatment that men
on the press in this city who can nut bs
bought or cajoled linvi to expect.
