WASHINGTON SOCIETY. GULFS BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT SOCIAL CLASSES. Effort* Mutlo by Parvenu Millionaires to Kroak Into Fashionable Circles-It May He Done, but at the Expense of Much Good loud, Choice Mines, ami Silver ware. ; ASHION at the na r tional capital puts on her gayest toys 111 the winter season. Each year there are more rich people ■ there, who go for the r purpose of having a good time, and are willing to pay for it, they entertain lav.sh | ly, many ot them L with a very substan • tial object in view, namely, to get into society. Washington is, in fact, a sort of winter Newport. Money is no object to them, and their chief business in life is giving entertain ments and going to other people's entertainments. The Washington correspondent of the Chicago Times, referring to this matter, says: A general impression has gone abroad to the effect that anybody can obtain an en trance into Washington socioty, owing to the necessarily mixed character of the cosmopolite population here, but this is not really true, although there is a cer tain basis of fact for the statement. Un doubtedly many persons of largo means do come hither, and, by the judicious use of cash, secure social posit on; but what city is there in this world to-day where the same thing may not be accomplished in the same manfaer? One thing only is necessary in such a case—that the wealthy parvenu should leave the town where he Las made his money and go to another. In Washington at this very time there are people who have earned fortunes hero in trade, nnd who are anxious to be received in the exclusive set, but they have not succeeded because the shop is too much in evidence, so to speak. In New York, or in any other lurge city, they would have a much better chance. Thus mill ionaire tradespeople from elsewhero mi grate to the cupital, and, by earnest ef fort and the employment of tho mighty power that money signifies, find their way into the swim. The proper thing to do, if you are a parvenu millionaire with social ambition —pn sumably your wife and children will have the ambition, and not yourself—is to come to Washington and begin opera tions by hiring a line house in the midst of the most intensely fashionable quar ter. Money, it must be romembered from the start, is no object; you are, of course, prepared to spend your hard-earned dol lars like water in pursuit of the social ignis fatuus. Accordingly you proceed, after furnishing your house gorgeously, to give a sories of public entertainments. You do not know nnybodv, nnd so you in vite everybody. Tho people you are really anxious to get in with will not come; but plenty of others will, among them many ODT ACCET whom you have probably not invited. If you are not aware beforehand that tho guests come simply for tho purpose of getting a free feed, you will soon be made to realize it. The men will make a rush for tho dining-room tho moment the doors nio opened, and stand around the tables gorging themselves until they can hold no more. Three rows of thorn can supply themselves directly with provender and drinkablos, while those on the outside grab the bottles of wine and chicken salad, etc., from the waiters borne by the servants as the latter try to make their way through tho crowd. You will refrain, however, from trying to clear the supper-room by imitating the expedient once adopted by tho Chinese Minister hero in such a case —burning pepper—because your object is to got into Washington society at any cost, and this is your first stop in that direction. It will not occasion you too much discomposure when you observe that your guests dispose of tho soiled plates by throwing them un 'or the tables, and your wife and daughter will meroly smile" graciously as hiccoughing good nights are addressed to them by young men who have difficulty in concealing a quart bottle of extra-dry champagne un der each arm, beneath their dress-coats; nor will you be otherwise than philosoph ical about it when you discover, after the final departure of the company, including the removal of a fow gentlemen who have accidentally fallen asleep on tho stairs, that many articles of silver, as well as the more readily portable of the parlor orna ments, have also disappeared. For this, you see, must all bo gone through if you are to get into society at the national capital. Far from being discouraged, you give other entertainments, each one a little more select than the last—your wife weeding her invitation list continually of the most undesirable people—until at length a pretty fair sort of crowd comes to your balls and parties. The most exclusive circle of fashiona ble society in Washington is defined by the membership of the Dancing Class, the Bachelors' German Club, and the Bowling Club. The Dancing Class con sists of 100 young men aud women; it is run by the women, and the men are hon orary members. The Bachelors' German Club includes tho most popular of tho Washington young men and a few of the more youthful members of the diplomatic corps. Its balls are altogether the swell est entertainments given at tho capital; the girls all wear their very best gowns at them, and to be invitod to receive for the club is the acme of a woman's ambi tion. The third distinct branch of Washing ton society is the official. The Presi dent leads this, of course, with his formal entertainments to Congress, the diplo matic corps, tho marine corps, the army, navy, judiciary, and the public at large. Cabinet officers entertain usually on tho same principles; likewise, to a certain *xtont, Senators and Representatives, if they wish. No exclusive principle is ex ercised. Any one may leave cards on the wives of the highest public officials and receive cards and invitations to receptions in return. It is this fact, presumably, that has given rise to the notion that any body may get into Washington society, but the fact is that this official society is as distinct from fashionable society as it is from the old Washingtonian crowd. Official rank in fashionable society here is only valuable to a modified extent. If a high official is also a fashionable maD his place lends him prestige; but, if he tsn't a fashionable man, ho won't be in that sort of society at all. Cabinet officers are necessarily exceptions to this rule, ft is a rare thing to meet o member of ConEiess. oven a Senator, in lasmonsble society; it a Senator 01 Representative entertains at all, he is more apt to be a diner-out and a giver ot ' APT BR TH B "TODINFT" PBOOBSSR dinners than to go in any especial set. The army aud navy, taking them at large, are within the lines of official society, but being in the army aud navy does not givo a man fashionable position. The navy men are much more apt to be socially av.liable than those of tho army, who spend so much of their lives on frontiei posts. Emerson says that life on tho sen polishes men. So it does, and, besides, naval officers see a great deal of the lesi society in all parts of the world while in port. One of the gay boys who sail tho ocean blue, now in Washington, is said to have led germans in every port of tho civilized world. Danger in the Use of Dyes, , teuHEN a child is ft V/jjwjßSflKvQung. the hair should be left flow on a £it should be washed regularly, aud kept clean, and both y m W sexes should have it ' fjj 1 ' clipped as often as once a month. In England, instead of cutting the ends of the hair they singe it with a candle, as it is thought that some of the pigments aud color, likewise tho life-giving properties, escape through the hollow hairs, and the singeing leaves them closed. But, however that might be, little girls' hair should not be braided, nor in any way strained. Where there is any scalp disease, or eczema, the advice of a competent physician should be sought, and his treatment followed. When the liair lacks its natural col oring, it is said that tho person whose hair is fading should eat plenty of let tuce, which forms a pigment, which the rays of the sun turn to the proper color. The chemistry of the sun is wonder ful. A decoction of yellow dock ap plied outwardly, although it is a color less liquid, will, under the sun's rays, change the hair to a dark brown, if used several times, lighter, if used less. When tho head is bald, or partially so, nothing is certain to restore the hair, for when tho roots are dead thero is 110 resurrection. We have, however, seen several per sons who Lad their hair stimulated to a new growth by a tonic treatment, consisting of blistering, rubbing, washing in ice-cold water, and fric tions, and also from the use of extract of petroleum, carboline, I think, which, though it did not smell very good, did its work well. The use of dyes on the hair is too dangerous a practice to be admitted, and no pretended hair restorer or re generator is safe, for there is not one dye or bleacher that is not composed of poison more or less active, and at best they have but a temporary effect, and decode nobody, and after a while these poisons absorb into the system, producing palsy, softening of tho brain, insanity, blindness, and fre quently death, heavy prices to pay for a palpaple deception. Tho eyebrows and eyelashes should be attended to, the eyebrows being in variably brushed backward smoothly after each ablution, and each mother should keep her little ones as far as possible from auy one who has inflam mation of the eyes or other ophthalmic disease. Styes aro a great danger to a child's future beauty, as the eye lashes lire, when fine, ft great attrac tion. When a stve is about forming, a poultice should bo made by beating tho white of an egg to a stiff froth, with a little pulverized alum, piece as large as a pea to one egg, and this will form a rort of curd, which should bo applied between two soft linen cloths to the whole eye, and bound on and left there all night. This will destroy the stye which would doubtless liavo destroyed the roots of several eye lashes. Some children have a stye for every tooth they cut, and this leaves tho eyelids nearly bare of lashes, or at least enfeebles them. EMMA VILO. He Got Away with hut One Armful. Last summer I was up at Port Sar nia, Ontario, and there met a sad looking but affable gentleman fiom the States who had lost an arm. He intercepted my glance toward his empty coat sleeve, and explained : "I lost it at Gettysburg," and then added with some bitterness, "and yet I am an exile." I was unfeignedly sorry for him and told him so, but, though decidedly cu rious to know what misfortune had compelled him to leave the beloved country he had laid down so large a fraction of his life to save, an innate delicacy restrained me from question ing him. He was disposed to be communica tive, however, and proceeded: "Icould hear my sad lot with greater resigna tion but that now, upon the threshhold of old age, my means are nearly ex hausted, a pecuniary strait that is di rectly due to the loss of my arm. Y'ou see, I had filled two valises with mon ey, negotiable bonds, etc., in prej ara tioa for my departure. But in tho hurry attendant upon that I was com pelled to leave one of them behind, and by some fatal mischance I picked up the lesa valuable one. Ah, sir!" and the tears trickled down his wan cheeks, "am I not the most unfortunate of unfortunates? Could I but have had my other arm at that supreme mo ment you would not have found mo in this dismal place with starvation star ing mo in the face, wearily waiting my end, for I would now be living at the top of the pot with the rest of the boys at Montreal/' _ Old Nurse—Had two hours rest?

"I always laugh," relates an old resi dent, "when I remember an experience I had when a hoy. I lived in the coun try, and one day myself and another boy had occasion to go to town. He owed me fifty cents and was to pay me when we reached town, where he in tended to get change for sl. In going to town we had to cross a creek. It was early in winter and the ice was strong enough to hold me, hut he was a great deal heavier, and in following me ho broke through. He at once hegau to yell and scraiublo for dear life. Tho water was quite doep and he was in considerable danger. " 'By Jove,' I exclaimed, as I puffed and panted after my exertion,'it was a pretty tough job getting you out of that creek.' " 'Yes, gol darn it,' ho replied, 'and you wouldn't have done it if I hadn't owed you fifty cents.'" — Milwaukee Wisconsin. A Little Too Smart. Husband —I guess I'll saw and split some wood and bring up some coal for you. Wife—No, you won't. I'll do that myself. H. —Ho it yourself? W. —Yes, siree. I'm up to your tricks. You are going to the theater to-night, and when you get home about 1 o'clock and have to bo helped up stairs you will try to escape a scolding by reminding me that jyou sawed and split the wood and carried up the coal for me. I know you. I'll do my own chores, thank you. H.—Very well, my dear. I gave up the theater project this morning, aud as I never like to hear the sound of a saw except when I am using it myself, I'll take a turn around the block until you get through. You'll find a piece of grease for the saw in the old tomato can under the cellar stairs. Ho you think you'll be through in an hour ? linear, An Awkward Mistake. A well known Australian writer—a very bad penman—in mentioning tho name of a certain lady in an article, said she was "renowned for lier gra* ciousness and charity." For "charity" the compositor read "chastity." The author, on seeing a proof, recognized at once that there was an error; but, unable to remember the word be had used in place of "chastity," marked the proof with what is called a "query"—? —to refer the printer to his MS. When the article appeared, the writer—who had intended to pay a pretty compli ment to the lady-—was surprised to read that she was "renowned (or her graciousness and chastity(?)."

It is a mistake to suppose that the Queen's guest at Windsor Castle have any opportunity for protracted orcontidential communication with Iler Majesty, except such Ministers as have audiences. The visitors arrive at the castle about 7 o'clock, retire to their respective rooms and assemble in the corridors iu full dress at 8:510 o'clock. The Queen presently enters from her private apartment, and after bowing to the company, and per haps speaking a few words to one or two friends, she goes into the dining-room, followed by the guests. After diuner, during which the conversation, as a mat ter of course, is to the last degree vapid commonplace, the company return to the corridor, and then the Queen speaks for a few minutes to each person in turn, and then bows to the circle and retires, after which the party proceed to one of the drawing-rooms for curds or music, and the men find themselves in the smoking room, which is a very comfortable apart ment. Next morning the guests leave the castle after breakfast, and they depart without having again seen the Queen, who takes her meal alone in her own private rooms.—['Loudon World.

The Proper Weight of Man. Professor Huxley asserts that the proper weight of man is 154 pounds, made up as follows: Muscles and tlieir appurtenances, 08 pounds; skeleton, 24 pounds; skin, 10£ pounds; fat, 28 pounds; brain, 3 pounds; abdominal viscera, 11 pounds; blood, which would drain from the body, 7 pounds. The heart of such a man should beat 75 times in a minute, and he should breathe fifteen times a minute. In 24 hours he should vitiate 1,750 cubic feet of pure air to the extent of one per cent.—a man, there fore, of the weight mentioned should have 800 cubic feet of well-ventilated space. He should throw off through the skin eighteen ounces of water, 300 grains of solid matter and 400 grains of carbonic acid every twenty-four hours, and his total loss during that period should be six pounds of water and about two pounds of other matter. —Eight varieties of leprosy hip recognized in China, and tlio disease is regarded as conta gious, infectious and hereditary, but is said to disappear in four generations.
