I was truck the other day, nays Kate Field, by the unique criticism of one of the handsomest houses in Washington, which was under discussion by several of the most intivaabe friends of the hostese. The ver- dict that ib was distinotively a "man's house" astonished me not a little, as I knew the feminine owner had left the impress of her exquisite taste upon every part of the beautitul home. The explanation however, was simple enough. " Distinctively a man's house" had reference to the entire absence of spindle -legged chairs, gold and similar useless bits of furniture, which were re- placed by big luxurious cheirs and divans that oould be really sat upon without fear of breaking down, cushions, intended for use rather than ornament—though they happily combined the two requisites—and cushioned corners ad libitum throughout the house. An interior more in keeping with perfect taste it is not possible to find throughout the city. But the secret wherein lies the charm is that from cellar to attic there is nothing too good for daily use. ne. The Annual Siring "rome."

TUE SCIENCE OF WOMAN SLMIGHTER A Yankee Meer% Estimate of the Weapons of Our Christian Age Less than 25 years ago the United States forces were armed with the old-fashioned Remington gas -pipe, a gun with half an inch calibre, and carrying any amount of powder and lead. For some time past the trend of modern small arms inventions has been toward a smaller calibre. The Springfield rifle used by the U. S. is a good gun, and shoots well up to 800 yards; fair to 1,200 yards, but beyond the latter range is not particularly effective. The calibre is 45, powder 70 grains, bullet 500 grains and initial velocity about 1,365 feet per second. The danger space is too small, because the trajectory is too high. Compare this with the Krag-Jorgensen rifle, calibre .315 (that Is, 135 thousandths lese in bore, which means a great deal), 237.6 grains of bullet, 33.9 grains of smoke- less powder and an initial velocity of 1,908 feet per second. This gives an extreme range of over 3,000 yards and a deadly range of more than 2,000 yards. The U. S. army, with their preeent rifle, could never come within shooting distance of an enemy equipped with such guns. The Krag- Jorgensen appears to be a beautiful gun, well balanced, strongly constructed and worthy of the confidence placed in it. It is the invention of two Norway experts— Captain Krag, of the Koenigsberg Arsenal, and tbe ba.btalion armorer, Jorgensen. The gun has a meg:mine carrying five centridges ; the weight of bulleM powder charge, tra- jectory and initial velocity have already been mentioned, and the total weight with bayonet is 9.83 pounds. The cost is in the neighborhood of $15. The price of our Springfield complete, with bayonet, ie $13.12. The new Russian weapon is hardly yet well enough known to comment upon, but this much is certain: It is a French inven- tion, patterned after the Lebel (and much superior to the latter, which bas lately given very unsetisfactory proof trials), and for which the Russian Government has placed an order for 3,000,000 pieces with which it would seem they " propose to fight it out ' on that line for all time. The Austrian and German Mannlioher and the Belgium Manger are good g111113 but the Schmidb rifle, adopted by Switzerland, is superior to them all. It has a smaller calibre than the others -295, requires only 29.3 grains of smokeless powder, 215.6 grains of steel -encased bullet, has a maga- zlne width hold 12 carbridges, and, best of all, the initial velocity is 2,000 feet per second, with an extreme range of 3,281 feet. The initial velocity and consequent low trajectory gives a greater danger space, which, after all, is the prime object of war. The first locomotive entered Pretoria on the 17th of December.

Poor creature Have you ever critioalle observed this simple and familiar metropoli- tan eight) e No? There's a lesson in it. There are alwaya a dozen men ready to assist in getting the fallen animal to his feet. The man with the faded ginger hat and antiquated coat grasps the horse by the ears. Hold his head down and he can't etruggle to his feet. Keep him down at all hazards. The ginger hat generally places one knee on the animal's head ; sometimes it's both knees. This roakes the ginger het feel big in the eyes of the spectators. The harder the ginger hat can press the poor brute's head into the unyielding pavement the happier he feels. It's the horse underneath and not the ginger hat. Grind his eye nearest the pavement into the sharp, icy particles; pub it out if possible. If you succeed in blinding the beast the more credit to you. The man with the leeward eye seizes the horse by the II0E10. Shut off his wind without fail. This makes him struggle violently and affords the ginger hat a golden opportunity to get in an extra grind on the horse's eye and a pull at the ears. The leeward eye also places his knee un the nose and yanks the bit so that the ring will flay the corrugated roof of the horse's mouth, down to smoothness. The horse doesn't like this. The owner doesn't care. A horse with a sore mouth eats less. Strange as it may it appear, the horse is uneasy. Horses are not inconsiderate of polite abtention. So the man with the calico shirt jumps on the animal's hip, and of course this grinds the hair and skin off the under bip. But no matter, keep him down if it takes an army. Horses under these circumstances, seem to be unreasonable. The man with the game leg gets in his work now. He's been waiting anxiously in the crowd for the chance. The horse has a raw sore under the saddle. The man with the game leg grasps the saddle with both hands, braces his feet against the animal's back, pulls and presses and peels off the raw, sensitive flesh by the square inch. The end of the saddle ring is puthed through the hair padding and bores another hole on the other side o the vertebra. And still the horse continues to struggle. Ab, now it is the driver's turn. He has been unfastening the harness and traces and all is free. "Stand clear !" he :Monte. The ginger hat puts out the horse's eye for good, the calico ;shirt makes the bare hip bone and the pavement meet, the game leg pulls off an extra chunk of raw flesh, while the leeward eye mums the blood to run from the lacerated mouth. Whack! Whack! It wouldn't do, you know, to let the horse get up by his own unaided efforts. So, as the torturers release their holds the driver brings that cruel lash, once, twice, thrice down upon the ribs, that raise welts on the quivering flesh as big as a man's finger. Now he is up, nervous, trembling, ex- cited, sore and lame. No matter, he is only a horse. Who cares WitshingtonStar. The Lenten Girl. The Lenten girl flourishes and is keeping Lent in her own way. She is doing a bit of good of course and is giving up things that during any but a penitential season the simply could not Must without. - She goes to church regularly every day and is pledged to be early at every service. She walks a great deal and drops the nickels in her mite box that she would otherwise spend in car fare. All her pennies find their way into the same paste- board receptacle and will help to swell the mission fund that brought the mite boxes into use. She buys no more candy till after. Easter, though she doesn't diedain te eat sweets or even to accept a box of bon -bona if they are offered.' Of course numerous Menus know of this, and so she does not actually suffer for sweets. She has given up the theatre, excepting when aomeone else buys the tickets, and then she goes in a penitent mood, and down in the depths of her kind little heart believes she is doing it simply to give someone else pleasure. For has she any right in denying herself and by ob- serving the discipline that she believes is good "as well for the body as the soul," to interfere with other people's pleasure? " No." She tells herself "then is selfish," and selfishness is not to be tolerated. So she does for someone's else pleasure the thing that for her own she would. leave undone. " Inconeistent ?" Well, perhaps she is. But who isn't, pray tell. You are, and to is everybody else, for the world is peopled with human beings and not angels, as some would like to believe. And bear in mind we women are nothing if not incon- sistent. Of course. They lingered on the esplanade, the girl with a profusion of lingerie and the fellow with an expression of hauteur.

"No,''she replied without hesitation. He turned abruptly upon his heel and was about to be lost to sight among the shrub- bery when he suddenly bethought himself.

"Will you". -.--- Speaking, he moved a step nearer. ----" marry me I" Then she suffered him to come and kiss her hand. —Detroit Tribune.

The Ingenious Exhibits that will Represent Their Work at the World's Fair. In successful ingenuity American women must give the palm to their English sisters, whom preparation for the exhibit in the English section of the Fair at Chicago is beyond anythingattempted here. The i most conspicuous nstance is the "Moral Science Baby" sent under the auspices of Mrs. Fawcett, not the baby but its photo- graph. This makes one of a collection of photographs of children of women having a university. education. The Moral Science Baby is described as too oute for anything. Madge, of Truth, mentions among other notable things, "a low corner obair in oak, carved by the Princess of Wales and covered with leather embossed by her own clever hands. The Princesses Victoria and Maud. also send a large stool apiece, carved themselves and covered with leather of their own embossing.. These are to be sold for tharity, and the Ladies' Committee have pub on thein a price of 100 guineas apiece. There are some very interesting exhibits. A wonderfully carved walnut wood bureau is the work of Lady Tankerville, and also a very fine screen with painted panels, copied from one in the Tuileries, and a fan with ivory sticks, exquisitely carved. The lady must be marvellously versatile. Miss L. Barr is sending -a sideboard elaborately carved from wood that is 300 years old. The Ladies' Working Guild in the Bromp- ton road, has some very fine specimens of burnt -wood work, a bureau being especielly clever—so much so that it will certainly be taken for marqueterie. The Hon. Mrs. Rowley's contribution is a beautiful pair of silver sconces in repousse work. There are some fine specimens of brass repousse by other workers. Miss Barbers Hanley sends a case of delicately painted miniatures, some of them copies of old masters, and other original portraite. We were delighted to see some nails, bolts, nuts and anvils, the work of a woman blacksmith, which are going to Chicago. America made a tremendous fues over a woman blacksmith of her own raising, and we can now play a similar card of our own. The Hon. Sybil Antheret sends a pair of brown leather boots made entirely by her- self. This is an unusual accomplishment for a young. lady. Some of the Shetland wool work in the Scottish section is of the most airy lightness and delicacy. A most lovely screen is painted in flowers on white China silk. The refined loveliness of this screen is beyond description, so mit and dreamy are the tints of the flowers. It is the work of a Scotch lady.

Make him hold eteadily to proven facts in everything. Then there Is the lie ot egotism, which is ale aye claiming everything for itself. Ignore the story. Make it seem not worth bis while. The lie which denies is the fault of other people. Punishment has been given arbi- trarily. That is to be corrected in the guardian. The hardest fault to oorrect in a child, or any one else, is the deep lie of jealownidthe malicious lie. It always cornea from jean. ousy, and there seems to be only one possible remedy.
