"CITY OF SNOBS AND SNUBS."
How One Observer Describes Washington
and its Social Life.
Washington is essentially the city
of the social practitioner, of the
climber, of snobs and of snubs. Everybody
is trying by hook or crook
to better his social position, which
is as praiseworthy as an effort to
better himself financially or physicailv.
And yet the climber is always ,
a joke.
A woman whose husband has a
subcabinet job and who takes herself
very seriously in consequence j
called up an old resident one day |
with a "Good morning, Mrs. Jones.!
How can I get people lik6 the Dan- j
vers to come to my parties?"
The resident lady grinned a huge;
grin into the telephone.
"Why, I'm sure I don't know. If
you aren't acquainted with Mrs.
Danvers and she doesn't make any
overtures to you I don't believe it
would be possible to get her to oome
to your parties."
The near cabinet woman uttered
an exclamation of disgust. 'Td like
to know what's the good of the position
we've acouircd in Washington
~ ------ 4 V
if I can't work it to get in with the
kind of people I want."
A newly rich woman in town with
a whole fleet of motorcars and no
need of a nerve tonic breaks into
many of the smartest homes by a
system entirely her own.
She finds out when a motorless
friend, of assured social position,
however, is invited to swagger reception
or ball, to which she herself
has received no card.
She coos softly over the telephone:
"My dear Mrs. Jenkins, if
you are going to the British embassy
tonight, won't you give me
the pleasure of going with me in
my car? I'll call for you at 10."
The motorless matron usually
falls into the trap, all unsuspicious
that she is making herself socially
responsible for an arch schemer who
has no entree.?Daisy Ayers in Louisville
Courier-Journal.
Tha Bayonet.
Like most other inventions, the
bayonet was the result of a moment's
grim necessity. A regiment
of Basque soldiers from Bayonne

with all the ammunition gone. They
had muskets and swords, and the
situation suggested wiring the sword |
to the barrel of the gun, so that
they ccruld gain at least that much
advantage over the enemy in the
hand to hand contest which was
their only hope. With a sudden :
rush they charged the opposing
force, and by means of their longer
reach they gained a notable vie- y
tory. Whether this be fact or mere f
tradition, it is certain that the city
of Bayonne developed a new and
profitable industry, that of manufacturing
bayonets, whose advantage
was so apparent that they were
adopted by all "civilized" nations.
Coin* Turned to Snakee.
A money trick of Hindu jugglers
invariably causes great amusement
to every one who sees it except the
victim of the joke. The juggler
takes three copper coins and places
them in the palm of some one in

hold them as tightly as he can. By
and by it seems to the holder of the
coins that they are swelling and
growing hot. They seem to be moving
about. He holds his hand closed
as long as he can and then opens it,
always with a gasp of fright, for
there wriggling about are three tiny
snakes.?New York Tribune.
Teasel Plants.
This common teasel plant has an
interesting relative called fuller's
teasel, a native of southern Europe.
The flower head of this variety is
covered with hooked prickles. These
heads are used to raise the nap on
woolen cloth, and so well do they
serve the purpose that no mechanical
contrivance has ever been invented
to equal them.
The flower heads are split and
fixed on a cylinder, which is made
to revolve against the surface of the
cloth.?Philadelphia North American.
How Did Ho Know?
Little Helen had been specially
inquisitive one evening, and her father,
who had patiently answered
her questions, was becoming exasperated.
Jftll&lly she said, ".rapa, wnai ao
you do at the office all day?"
Papa's patience gave way, and he
replied, "Oh, nothing!"
Helen pondered over this answer
for a moment and returned to the
charge with, "But how do you know
when you are done?"?Exchange.
To Hear Him Tell It.
Mrs. Smitcm ? Bohbv, you bad ,
boy; have you been fighting with '
Tommy Slimson again? Dear, dear; j
I shall have to get a new suit!
Bobby?That's nothing, ma. You
ought to see Tommy Slimson. His \

] HUSBAND RESCUED ;
DESPAIRING WIFE!
After Four Tears of Discouraging i
Conditions, Mrs. Bullock Gave
Up in Despair. Husband
Came to Rescue.
i
Catron, Ky?In an interesting letter
from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock ,
I writes as follows: "1 suffered for four
| years, with womanly troubles, and during |
this time, I could only sit up for a little
while, and could not walk anywhere at
all. At times, I would have severe pains
in my left side.
The doctor was called in, and his treat- j
meat relieved me for a while, but I was
soon confined to my bed again. After
that, nothing seemed to do me any good.;
1 had gotten so weak I could not stand,j
and 1 gave up in despair.
At last, my husband got me a bottle of
Cardui, the woman's tonic, and I com- i
menced taking it From the very first'
-? -?u *~ii u I I
a use, i tuuiu ten u was ucipiug uic. i i
can now walk two miles without its 1
tiring me, and am doing my work."
If you are all run down from womanly
troubles, don't give up in despair. Try |
Cardui, the woman's tonic. It has helped
more than a million women, in its 50
years of wonderful success, and should (
surely help you, too. Your druggist has 1
sold Cardui for years. He knows what:
it will do. Ask him. He will recom- :
mend it. Begin taking Cardui today.

The Auger Fish.
The ahger fish, half fish, half j
crab, is the terror of all vessels but
ironclads that use the south seas.
This creature, which is not bigger
than an almond, has a proboscis
like an enlarged gnat sting that can
bore through even sheet iron. Auger
fish frequent many of the lagoons
of the coral islands and burrow
holes for themselves in the
coral, but they have a perverse
habit of doing the same thing to
ships lying at anchor, and the damage
generally shows itself when
next the vessel is at sea in bad
weather, with disastrous results.
Despondency.
When you feel discouraged and
despondent do not give up but take
a dose of Chamberlain's Tablets and
you are almost certain to feel all
right within a day or two. De_J
spomlency is very often due to in~
digestion and biliousness, for which
these tablets are very valuable. Obtainable
everywhere.
