This queer fad seems all tho more queer when considered in connection with tho fact that tho lady is young, pretty, ac complished and as gontlo as a dav old kitten. .Many Washington , Indies, wives of pul'Ii0 iuo.1) keep scrap looks, assisting their husbands in this most onerous of tasks. In such cases tho specialties arc usually tho subjects in which their hus bands nro Interested, such as finance, foreign affairs, tho navy, silver, tho southern question, or politics in geiioral. Ono of tho brightest ideas in connec tion with Hcrnp book keeping of which I ha vo heard Inn long tlmomust bo credit- ed to Mrs. Clarkson, wifo of tlio first as sistant ostma8ter general. Sho begnn on her arrival in Washington, just after tho advent of tho new administration, to cut out on a comprehensive and practi cable system such articles as will, when combined together, make a comploto his tory of tho administration. Her books havo such subdivisions as "Society," "Appolntmcnto," "Tho Executive," "Fo reign Affairs," "Congress," "National Politics," "Gossip About Men," "Gossip About Women," etc. Four years honco k would not bodinicult totakqtboac climuTaUonVunder uicso andotljerneads and weavo thorn into a history of tho Harrison reign that would bo history In deed, uniquo but Interesting and valu able. Of courso Mrs. Clarkson is "keeping tho cuttings for hor own satisfaction, but it would not bo surprising If one or moro of tho dozen Imitators of her clever Idea woro to bring out such a history in book form. "Wives of government ofliclals aro bo coming somewhat impatient for tho re assembling of congress and a revival of aoclal activity. Without tho presence of congress and tho whirl of olUcial society Washington Is a dull place for a woman. Just now there is n good deal of gossip over Mrs. Harrison's rumored intention to treat society to n decided innovation at tho very beginning of tlio next "sea son." Her friends havo been led to bo llovo that 6ho has determined at tho very first social engagement, tho overture for tho winter's chorus, which will bo the Now Year's day reception nt tho Whlto House, to dispense with handshaking. If Mrs. Harrison really has tho courago to break up tho old custom, which has required tho president's wifo to stand by his sido on loveo days and havo hor arm jiumpod by the throngs of visitors till that member Is lame and sore, sho will win tho nppluiuo of all society. Handshaking is here pretty generally recognized as a nuisance and an absurd ity, a tax on the physical strength of tho president and his wife, which can givo no groat plwuure to the guests. Tho president and Mrs, Harrison will do well to revive tho practices of Ueorgo und Martha Washington. At state levees Mrs. Washington sat, tho guests filing before her am) bowing, sho responding with a smile-or pleasant nodding of tho head.. Tho president passed from oue to another of tho g iwls, bowing to them nnd cocnslonnlly panning to exchange courtesies, but never slinking hands, To bo sine, a linco In Ueorgo Washington's day was not attended by thousand of men nnd women, ns modern Whlto Houso loveo nro, nnd It would not bo possible for President Harrison to move nlKMit from ono guest to nnother. Hut tho president und Mrs. Harrison could with pVoIlt lake up their station, either standing or sitting, or lioth alternately, where tlio crowd could conveniently lllo by each Individual, being announced by name, bowing and pausing on. At any into, capital society is willing mid anx ious to wo the experiment tried. Shaking of tho Wellingtons reminds mo of the recent apK)lutmcnt of Georgo Washington to bo a Kllccmnn In this city of Washington, I). C. Appropriate ly enough this city is hendquartors of tho Washington family. Thero nro act ually COO Wmdiiugtons In tho Washing ton city directory, thirty-seven of them being Guorge Washington, thieo Mar thas and seventeen Marys. How many Marthas nnd MaryB thero nro who, ns wives and daughters of tho Georgo nnd other Wnshlugtous, nro not considered of milllelent importance to bo set down In tho directory ono can only guess. To show Washington city's superiority In tho matter of Wnshlngtons it is only nocessary to point out tho fact that Now York, with eight times tho population of tho Federal City, has but one-half ns many Inhabitants who lwar tho honored name, while In nil Chicago, with her million of souls, thero nro exactly threo dozen Wnsliiugtous In tho city directory. A largo majority of tho Washington Wnshlngtons nro negroes. For somo reason or other ntxmt half tho colored people who como from tho Virginia shores of tho Potomac havo acquired nnd moro or less pioudly bear tho unmo of tho father of their country, Ono of theso thlrty-sovon Georgo Woshlugtous is employed ns messenger n tho state department. I asked him iow so ninny of his race in this city happened to bear ,o nnmo pf tho found er of tho republic, lio did not know; had novor heard anything about it; bad no thought or impressions on tho sub ject, nnd was altogether disinclined to open his mouth for fenr ho would put his foot In it. "Tho result of his long ex perience in 'thu stato department," 1 thought. Even tho messengers nnd char women in Mr. Dlnlno's bailiwick nppcar to hnvo becomo imbued with the diplo matic tradition nnd spirit. Diplomacy, you know, Is n sort of agnosticism as to all tho things In tho world. Tho relig ious agnostic, doesn't know any moro nlnnit tho origin or end of things dlvlno than a crocodlla knows of chocolate car amels. Tho diplomat Is tho samo way concerning nil things earthly. Not to know Is a stock in trndo with tho trained diplomat. At least, llko tho agnostic, ho uTOsVpretoiiu nol to know. And If, In ordor to maintain his pretensions to dense Ignorance, It becomes necessary forhhu t9NcJ9l.n JWWjso nbnWu Lying Is a part of tho frnilo of diploma cylying with a Binooth serious face, a glib sort of counterfeit of earnestness, and with obvious relish. All tho diplomats of tho stato depart ment aro liars, from Secretary Ulalne Degguijj his pardon down to Georgo Washington", tho J??lorod messenger. Think of a Georgo WiwhTnglon-who habit ually tolls lies) Assistant gocfolnTy Wharton is an accomplished dissombler, and Walker Dlalno could discount Ana nias, and do it so sweetly ns to make An anias or any other man actually llko it. For it must bo understood that diplo matic lies don't count, cither hero or up yonder, and tho most frank, sincere nnd honornblo of men In prlvnto llfo often make tho most accomplished diplomatic prevaricators. Thero is no other way out of It, for when a iiowspaer corre spondent or somo other curious person comes around inquiring about tills or that, which tho diplomat knows about but must not talk about, what could we expect him to do but plead Ignorance and swear to it? An English gentleman whom I met horo a fow days ogo was struck by tho small number of old men in publlo llfo in this country, and, of courso, by tho cor respondingly largo number of young men holding high places in government service. Tho average ago of our senators and representatives (a not much above 40, perhaps between that figure and 45, whilo tho averago years of department officials, Including bureau chiefs and cabinet officers, is certainly not much above 83. Of 400 men in tho last con gress only a dozen havo reached tho ago of three score and ten, oldest of them an being Senator Morrill, of Vermont, who will Ira 60 if ho lives till next April. Mr. Morrill has been In tho sonnto twenty-two years, and before that was In the houso for twelve years. Senator Payno, of Ohio, who lias de clared his intention to retire from public lifo at tho end of his present term, is but a fow months younger than Senator Mor rill. Doth were born in tho year 1810. Senators Dawes, of Massachusetts, and Sawyer, of Wisconsin, nro 73, and, tho latter declared lost winter ho would never accept another term. Yet ono of his senatorial friends tells mo ho c'Hcts to see Sawder In tho senate as long as he lives. "When tho tlmo comes for him to decide," said this senator, "and he be gins to think about what ho is going to do after leaving public life, how aimless, monotonous and rusty his existence will bo, ho will decide to remain In the senate, I venture. That is why our oldest men stay In their scuts Morrill, Dawes, Hampton, and others 1 could name not because they aro ambitious in tho service of their country, but because they do ndt know what else to do with them selves. Their usefulness is practically at an end, and it would bo better for tho 8enatoand better for their constituents If they were to resign, but they dread to pass tho evening of lifo in idleness and amid tho humdrum of their homes." Other old men in congress nro Hepre scntativo Vandover, of California, who is 73 i Plumb, of Illinois, who Is 73, as U also Senator Reagan; Senators Evarts, Hampton and Dates, and Representa tive Rico, of Minnesota, each 71, and Senator Harris and Hearst, each 70, Waiter wellman. HIS NARROWEST ESCAPE. An Incident In Ilia I.lfo of Alexander II. of IIiimIm. 9-clnl Cornvont)cncfl. Nrw Yoiik, Sept. 0. "Pojarl pojarl" (a fire, a flroll "Gday on?" (where is It?) "Llttitcrntiftknyn tserkov, bllz Morska vo kanaln" (tho Lutheran church, near tho Marino canal). And tho excited crowd tore uast mo at full sjiecil, their hoarso voices nnd trampling feet echoing weirdly through tho ghostly sllonco of tho clear, frosty night. Tlio clang of tho alarm bells through tho still air and tho signal lanterns that gleamed iigalnst tho dark sky from ono of those tall watch towers which nbound In St. Petersburg (ns in every other Rub bIiui city) woro not needed to warn mo that another great tiro had broken out; for the red glare which roso nbovo the snow covered roofs of tho tall shadowy houses, waxing nnd wnnlng by turns like thu llamo of some vast lamp, told its own story. In nnother moment I wns running as fast ns I could townrd tho ucono of action. Uy tho timo I reached It n largo crowd wns gathered around tho 8ot, nnd ono glanco showed mo thnt tho flames had already inado formldablo progress. Tho lower part of tho Lutheran church n good sized building of brick nnd painted timber, standing on tho bank of ono of those groat canals which run llko veins through tho whole, extent of the Russian capital wns completely wrapped in llames, which woro coiling around tho wooden spire, and darting like snakes in and out of tho doors and windows. Poneath that Infernal splendor tho gloomy canal looked llko n stream of blood, and the .countless upturned faces seemed wnn nnd ghastly ns corpses, while through the rolling smoko tho massive towers of tho churches on tho opposlto bank looked dim and vast, llko threaten ing giants. And now tho lire engines camu rattling up, nnd tho helmctcd fig ures surging to nnd fro in tho glaro of tho flames, together with tho thunder of hoofs and wheels, tho billowy smoko, tho shadowy crowd in tho background, nnd tho crash of fulling stones nnd blaz ing timbers, gavo to tho Wholo scene qulto the cITcctof n siego or a battlo. This cITvct was suddenly and pictur esquely heightened by a very unexpect ed Incident. Unseen by tho crowd three of tho tlrcmen had planted a ladder against tho burning building, nnd as tho rising wind whirled aside tho thickening smoko for ono moment they could bo scon on tho roof, beating in tho skylight with their axes to make an opening for tho nozzle of tho flro hose, which thoy had drugged up nlong with them. Tlio countless spectators held their breath to wntch tho fato of this daring attempt. Hut nil at onco n mighty shout broke forth amid tho sudden sllonco as threo horsemen enmo clattering up to tho spot nnd sprung from their saddles In tho midst of an oncn -snaco which I JTI&SUIM wsiWsfca t -V "t,l " ftj UIIUKl'Bl. Ul II1U throng. In tho foremost of tho threo I recog nized tho tall figure, strong, harsh feat ures and rich uniform of Gen. Trojioir, the minister of police Thu second a duo looking man in tho prime of luo, dressed as an oHlcer of tho Imperial guard was unmistakably tho Grand Huku Nicholas, tho emperor's younger brother, wno u mo uouuio runic or comninndor-in-cltK'ffornioTTiBsinnai'my nnd head of tho Imperial Firo brignJo. Tlio haudsomo face nnd thick grayish brown mustache, thnt allowed themselves beneath tho gold laced military cap of tho third man, would havo told any by stander (oven without tho profound re spect shown to him by nil around) that ho was no other than tho czar, Alexan der II of Russia. Tho arrival of theso distinguished spec tators, and tho energetic action of tho Grand Duko Nicholas who pressed at onco to tho front in virtua of his position as commander of the lire brigado spurred on thofiVmcn to fresh exertions, and thoy buckled to their work liko heroes. Tlio emperor himself kept on courogiug tho bravo fellows with voico nnd gesture, and in doing so ventured somewhat closer to tho blazing walls than seemed altogether safo to tho minister of police, whom I could hear making urgent remonstrances, to which tho czar, in his excitement, paid no attention whatover. And now for a time it really seemed as If tho flro, would bo mastered aftor all. Fortunately, tTio cliurcTi stood by itself in tho midst of a broad, open spaco, flanked by tho canal, and thus, tho near esyiouscs being too far off to run any risk of catching tiro, tho men were ablo to concentrate their wholo attention upon tho burning building itself. Presently a dull rumble, thrice repeat ed, was heard within tho building, and then tho spiro itself was seen to shake and totter. "Look outl" roared a hundred voices at onco, "tho tower's falllngl" Thero came a crash llko the dischargo of a dozen cannon nnd a spout of flro shot up Into tho very sky, whilo a hall of sparks and pieces of burning wood camo pelting down upon tho crowd amid a thick gust of hot, stifling smoke. Just then I saw Gen. TrepofT selzo tho emperor by the arm and drag him forci bly backward, not an instant too soon, for tho next moment a huge blazing beam, at least twelve feet long, fell crashing upon tho very sjiot where thoy had just been standing, flinging a shower of flaming splinters over tho czar and his rescuer. "Pardon my boldness if I tell your majesty plainly," said tho general" em phatically, "that your presence hero, and tho risk to which it exposes you, can only hamper our work and distract our attention. If your majesty will bo guided by mo, you will withdraw at once." Tho Grand Duko Nicholas seconded tho entreaty, and tho czar reluctantly withdrew. But, although ho know ft not, tho day on which ho had so nar rowly escaped death was destined to be fatal to him after all; for on that very day. nine years later, tho hand of a Nihilist ussassii) hurled tho bomb that reached his life, David Kur.

Deut. vil. Mr. Do Witt claims that all thco who live hi strict obedience to tho laws of God will havo ierfeot health. Ho tins many straugo Ideas, which ho claims ho got from tho Ulblo, as to what ho shall eat and what ho shall not vat, and conforms strictly to this very strango and rather frugnl bill of faro. "I do not oat hog meat, becauso It is unclean and hurtful to health and understanding (see Deut. xlv). In fact, 1 dou't eat moat of any kind, becauso Paul says it Is neither good to oat flosh nor to drink wine, 'lVovo all things. Hold fait to all things that are good. To him who know oth to do good nnd dooth It not, to hlni It Is a sin.' Now, slnco I do this for consclouco sake, it would bo a slu for ino to eat flosh, al though others may eat it without sinning. Wo know, also, that those who eat meat aro not m healthy as tlioso who abstain. My daughter and I do uot cat anything that grows on a vino, nor tho fruit of herbs, nor tho seed of trees (sco Gen. ii, 23).

Dut wo do cut Irish potatoes, becauso thoy grow under tho earth, bear seed, havo no vinos, no 'holders' to cling to anything. Tho top of thorn is au herb, which boars seed.
