The Railroad Across the Caucasus. The railroad across the Caucasus Is a militarj^one—i. e., constructed primarily for purposes of troop transportation, etc., likemearly every railroad in the vast Rus- 'ianumpiro, such as, for instance, the one > now building from the Caspian to Tash- kend, a distance of 1,550 versts (about 1,100 miles). The places between Batoum and Baku, a distance of 837 versts, are few and far between, and, with the exception of Piflis and Elizabatpol, of no great impor tance. The scenery between Batoum and Tiflis is grand and varied. The railroad climbs on its way a mountain of 3,200 feet in height—the Sougamc—and feats of engin eering skill are frequent all along the line. Of course, ail this ihake^ this line very ex pensive and unproiltable, and the govern ment annually has to put up for the de- icit. Only one train every twenty-four Hiours starts between Batoum and Baku. The latter town is now sufficiently £uown to^Amerlca as her groat rival in ‘sum lino.

There the fresh shod, which be gin to come at this time of the year, are still cooked in lard and bread crumbs—the lard not very sweet. New Orleans had many interesting things about it, but the; can build such extensive, clean and m' era hotels in the vicinity of our northern cities that the travel to the south is an amateur matter nowadays, and not many who have been there once or twice are go ing again. It is true that the southern trains run verv full, but this is because there Is an enormous population in the north to draw upon. Washington Itscdf is far behind in hotel accommodation. The hotels here for the past week or two, though their season began late, are crowded down. Cots have been put in the aisk-s and dark attic-rooms have been util ized, and in many cases the guests are sent out to lodging-houses. Everybody who gets a taste of the Washington joys regrets going any farther off,—“Gath” in Cincinnati Enquirer. One Woman’s Story on Another. I know a Mrs. B. who is at outs with a Mrs. Z. What started the feud is a riddle —but there is an unfathomable mystery about all hatreds of women. I had said, innocent of any chasm between these two society people, that Mrs. Z. was a charm ing woman. “But she is a snob,” said Mrs. B., in a way that made the plates rattle. Then she rested her chin in her hand and her elbow ou the table and this is the harrow ing recital: “Mrs. Z. is the wife of a millionaire, I confess. Her husband has his city resi dence, his summer resort and his favorite haunts abroad. At his summer resort he lias a flock of Southdowns, one of which is slain whenever the family has an appetite for sheep. I was giving our order to the butcher sometime since when Mrs. Z. came in. She was on her way to the mati nee, and had on the loveliest wrap I ever saw—I wonder what it cost. Well, as I was saying, she came in while I was order ing, and the manner in which she ap proached the butcher was overwhelming. This is the way she did it, and this is what she said:" (Mrs. B. arose and went through her imitation. It was immense): “ ‘Butcl^.U, spud ovnh to oawah house a leg of mutt “The butolmr almost broke his back in saying that iw would, and Mrs. Z. started out.

At a rather stylish party which occurred •m Monroa street about two months ago, the groom put a $20 gold piece in the kidded hand of a small brother-in-law, with directions for its transfer to the par- on, and hurriedly left the room. Tae ortde, hearing the conversation, suc ceeded in detaining the juvenile, and hunting up one of the $5 coins her mother had given her tor “traveling trifles,” swapped geld pieces and called herself “just a husband and $15 ahead.” She changed her mind very shortly as to the monetary gain, for the first thing she heard as she emerged from her room in her traveling suit was: ‘ ’Tain’t as big as the one he gave me first.

A young lady from St. Louis was visit ing be&cousin, an Achlaud avenue belle, a few weeks ago, and together they at tended a Modjeska matinee. “As You Like It” was the play. The St. Louis young lady was delighted. “It was just splendid," she declared to some of her friends the next day, “and the audience fairly went wild. When the play Ivos finished the people didn’t want the curtain to come down, and cheered so that Mrs. Modjeska had to step down to the front of the stage and make a little speech thuoMM^ie people for their kindness, g them to come again some time, a speech as it was, too.
