"Death," said she, "is nothing but transition. Thoro is no occasion for so much grief and fear." "Yes, ma'am," agreed tho maid, with a fresh outburst. "When wo die," continued her mis? tress smoothly, "it is only part of tho process of evolution. Wo wako up to an? other life; that's all." "It's in heavcu we'll bo waking up," sobbed tho bereft one, "with angels and harps and"? "What nousonsol" corrected the club? woman, with a pitying smile.

"Is it working out in service yon think I'll be?" she demanded. "Precisely," rejoined tho evolution? ist, "but you'll probably bo doing it rather hotter, you know." "Well, if yon think I'm going to heaven to wait on you, you'll find your? self mightily mistaken," gasped tho irato handmaiden.

The indications of fashion already given in this column in regard to new capes, mantelets, fitted wraps ornamented with half capes, und tho cut of jackets, trimmed, plain or embroidered, contlnuo tho same. It is hardly necessary to go over tho same ground again, as amplo descriptions have already been givon?so ample that all new developments have boon fully treated. Of courso there is less to bo said on tho sub? ject of wraps in worm weather, becauso they are less often worn. Cnrriago wraps arc very dainty and elaborate, of silk or other soft fubrlo, following tho lines of tho figure gracefully. Thoy aro full, but light and easily compressible, when compression is necessary. For example, here is a de? scription of a cnrriago mantlo of gray moire. Around tho lower edgo uro nine rows of narrow plaltings, palo green guuzo alternating with gray silk. Tho top of tho mantlo has a yoko embroidered with stcol SUMMKit JACKET. and gold bonds. It may bo remarked, in paasslng, that steel and .gold in combina? tion are much employed at present in trim? ming, producing a rich and elegant effect. Tho yoko is formed in plaited rufiles of palo green gauze; tho collar Is encircled by u ruche of gray silk and another of green guuzo and is lined with white guipure; whilo tho front edges aro adorned with puffings of gray silk from top to bottom. Tho garment is lined with palo green silk. Jackets are worn very short, with no godots cvon at the back. Tho suck Is by no moans popular. What little vogue it hud during the winter, as a novelty, is dy? ing out. Blue, green and purple jackets aro much seen, but tho tones aro nil bright. Navy bluo and bottlo green aro in tho minority, clear shudes being preferred.

OUR NEW YORK LETTER. ho Trolley Oar Sprlnkler-The Bl? Hat on the Stasro? City Children Who Axe Mot In the Parks. [Special Correspondence] Tho question of properly sprinkling ho 6trcots of this city without flooding Item is oue which has agitated wheel ueu for u long time. Tho work has litberto beou douebya private corpora iou, which did not soein to care what )*joplo thought of its methods. A little ogislntion at Albauy during the last iessioii has probably caused this concern o modify its views materially, aud un? der the ucw regimo things are uot so bad as they were, although they are ag? gravating enough iu all conscience. Tho answer to complaiuts has always beou that it is impossible to put water on to dust without making mud. This sounds very smart, but it is uot a little bit true. There is oue trolley liuo in Brooklyn which has solved the problem iu a manner emiueutly satisfactory to tho persons liviug along the route. A car raus over tho tracks with a huge sprin? kler ou board. Tho outlet is small, uud a lino stream is coustautly pouriug from tho rear, but it is so thinly distributed that it does what.watering carts uro.in? tended to do?lay the dust without mak? ing mud, which tho cyclist hates so heurtily. If tho flow happeus to bo a lit? tle too heavy,as souietimcs ocenrs despite all precautions, tho car is stopped every hero uud there, tho water shut off, aud theu tho motorman starts tho stream as ho sends tho coutrivanco ahead at a "high rate of speed, thus proveuting tho water from having too much volumo at nuy given point. An Example Worthy of Imitation. Perhaps tho most interesting phase of tho work doue by this compuuy is that it was undertaken voluntarily aud with no other object in view than to increase tho comfort of patrons of tho road. Ev? erybody knows what nu uwful cloud of dust the average trolley car sucks along after it nud how much of it comes iu side and deposits itself upou tho passen? gers' apparel. It is ouo of tho nuisances inseparably associated up to tho present time with comparative rapid transit iu mauy of tho smaller cities, but by this pluu and runuing these wnteriug cars over the road at frequent intervals one may enjoy a ride without imagining himself iu front of a carpet heater. Be? sides, tho air is considerably cooled by tho process. Tho passengers of this lib? erally managed Brooklyn liuo have evi? dently discovered that faot, und they show their appreciation by goiug out of their way to extend their patronage whero it is so richly deserved. The ex amplo is worthy of emulation. The Big Hat on the Staee. A little bit of pantomime introduced iu "Tho Circus Girl," at Dalj^8,itieater, is a spleudid object lesson onytho big bat question. Jimmio Po^vers and Miss Astley aro tho actors iu the , skit. Two chairs are placed one bf Mud the other, to represent tho Bants at a t heater. Mr. Powers comes iu aud takes his plaoo ou tho rear chair. Tho play is enter taming, nud Mr. Powers is enjoying it highly wheu in comes Miss Astley with the biggest of big hat? on bcr bead aud sits down right in front of Mr. Powers. Of conrso his onjoymeut is over, but a happy thought strikes him, and out ho rushes, evidently to the box office, for bo is buck again in a minute, and this tiuio ho takes a seat iu front of Miss Astley. Deliberately ho runs his finger.s through his hair until his head looks a good deal like that of a Circas? sian beauty. A Good Objeot Lesaou. Aud now it's Miss Astlcy's turn to bo anuoyed. Sho fidgets; sho fumes. Finally sho asks Mr. Powers to smooth down his hair, but bo only grins and points at her bat. Then she, too, flounces out and returns with a eoupou for tho seat iu front. This is too much, und Mr. Powers calls au usher. Tho wholo matter is explained iu dumb show, and Miss Astley is giveu her choice of rc moviug her bat or leaving the theater. Off comes Mies Astley's hut instanter, and so does that of any lady iu the au? dience who may bavo chanced to wear it so long. Tho pautomimo always gets a hearty round of applauso, and tho au? dience thoroughly enjoys tho discom? fiture of thoso ladies who havo been caught with their bats ou. Whero Are the Children? To tho casual visitor to the park those fair afternoons thero is uo more signifi? cant featuro of tho gorgeous cavalcado giviug lifo aud color to every bit of-high way than tho small proportion of chil? dren taking part. Omission, as it is, it is somehow moro noticeable, than all the rest?the smart horses, tho irre? proachable traps aud trappings, and even the verual array of beautiful women, which this season is nothing short of sncctaculur.. But whero aro thu children that must "belong to somo of theso many beautiful, smartly attired women? Surely they might uppear, if ever, during au afternoon drivo in tho park, when there could bo no question of propriety aud very little of convenience. In a -several hours' survey of tho pag? eant the other day only fonr carriages wero tu ho seen with children. Pampered Days Galore. . Ouo charming yonug matron after another bowled along in her great, emp? ty victoria, but either sho didn't choose to tnko her children driving or else ^1.^ hud no children to take. Something that perhaps emphasized the absence of the children was tho presence of the lapdogs. Nearly every- smarf carriage held ouo of theso pnmporod pets; some of tho smartest held two. It wns very uico for tho dogs, and the women in whose arms they reposed seemed to bo enjoying tho situation to tho full, but tho obsorver's thoughts turned instinc? tively to tho children, who were prob? ably off with their nurses somewhere. If one wants to see an adequato repre? sentation of childhood in the parks, he -will huve to look for it among the Sat nrduy May parties, not in the daily ex? hibit of smart equipages. Joseph Russell. WASHINGTON LETTER.^ the Chafing- Dish In Congress?Where Influence Is an Injury-Queer Names In a Tariff Bill. [Special Correspondence.] Not only uro eluding dish suppers tho most popular thiug in Washington society just now, boing u pleasant mo dinm for tho display of tho culinary skill of diplomats and social leaders generally, but at tho capitol tho pop? ularity of the dish among statesmen is rapidly growing. Sponkcr Reeu is a dev oteo of dinting dish cooking, and bo is Represeutativo Hitt, tho chuirmnu of the foreign affairs committee, while Congressman Richmond Pearson, club man, raconteur and good fellow gener? ally, is expert in the preparation of toothsome dishes. One of Senator Gor? man's favorite lunches is a chafing dish of oysters, whilo tho array of silver pans upon tho familiar tripod in tho BOnate restaurant tells tho 6tory of de? licious tidbits for senatorial enjoyment better than a column of words. A Senate Convert's Views. "I used to scoff at tho chafing disli myself," said an epicurean senator to n Post man tho other day, "but now I am a convert Tho man who says it is a fraud aud will not have anything to do with it through a mistaken prejudice has lost one-half of the enjoyment of life. Somo rcmnrknblo improvements are being mado in tho dishes, so thnt the manipulation of the lamp is certain and safe, and handy toasters aro now fiupplied, so thnt tho toast for a Wolsli rabbit can be mndo at the table. I think the chafing dish is one of tho best things in a house. It has tremendous possibili? ties, and I am told that there are 100,000 of them in use. If nuybody will organize a chafing dish club, I want to go in as a charter member." Too Kluoh Influence. Every cabinet officer in town and every head of a bureau having power to make changes in tho force under him has been deluged with letters asking that this one and thnt ouo bo not dis? turbed in their places, and much of tho time of these officials has been taken up in listening to personal requests of senators and representatives in tho in? terest of people who fear dismissal. As n rule such letters und requests strengthen tho employee in his or her placo, but a cuso lately occurred in ouo of tho departments of tho government in which tho clerk, enjoying a comfort ablo position in which sho was per? fectly secure, lost her placo merely be? cause of the largo amount of influence sho was bringing to bear and was re? duced to a minor position with a salary of but half that sho hud been receiving. Better to Saw Wood. Letters from senators and representa? tives wero ponriug in on tho official who was her superior officer, but finally certain senators called upon him and complained that the lady in question Was making their liven a burden by constant requests that they intercede in her behalf and asked that a stop be put to thnt sort of proceedings. They wero so indignant that tho lady was prompt? ly removed from her place, alt hough it is said sho would not have been dis? turbed had sho quietly dono her work. Tho moral of this sad experience is be? ing advertised quietly among clerks in tho following motto: "Don't worry your chief with an ovcrdoso of influence, but quietly saw wood.''

Thcro is auy number of queer times iu a tariff bill. Who can tell at first thought, or after a day of careful study for that mutter, anything about pulu or divi-divi or styrux or calumiue or iudi um or osmium. All of which is prelimiuary to a story which n vetenui member of cou gress told tho other day. It seems that for a number of years thero was iu tho tariff laws a duty of (50 per cent ad va? lorem imposed upon "alknkauge." Thero it stood, iu all its glory, duly as? sessed, resisting all efforts to placo it either ou tho free list or to reduco tho duty. When Judge Kellcy of Pennsyl? vania was the chairman of tho commit? tee ou ways and means, somo tariff items had to bo revised, and the sug gestiou 'was again mado that perhaps a duty of 30 per cant upon '' alkakaugo'' would bo sufficient. But nil the mem? bers of tbo committee stood up iu ear? nest protest. "What is 'alkakaugo' anyhow?" ask? ed a Democratic member. "Tbo idea of auy oue nskiug that question!" exclaimed JudgeKelloy, and all his colleagues raised tbeir hands iu holy horror at such ignorance. Couldn't Find It Anywhere. ' The Democratic free trader sent for an unabridged dictiouary, aud, looking it all through, fouud uo such word as alkakange. Ho got uo moro instruction from uu encyclopedia. He asked in vain of Ure's Dictionary of Sciouceaud Arts. Tho members of tbo committee begau to grow worried. Finally they sum? moned a promiueut chemist, for of course, said they, alkakaugo was a drug. But tho chemist said that to bis kuowledgo there wns no such thing as alkakange in all tho pharmacopoeia. At this paint some 0110 suggested that they send over to t ho government print? ing ofiico und ask tho proofreader who hud revised the law. "Well," said tho employee, "the truth is that 10 years ago, when we had a page of the tiiriff law on a 'form,' n part of the typo dropped out, and it was fixed up by one of the printers. Tho only thing ho could make out of tho combination of letters was the word 'alkakange,' and I suppose it has re? mained in tho law ever since." Perhaps pulu and divi-divi and a few other of the unpronounceable and won? derful things in the present tariff bill got in through tho same way. Who knows? Caki. Sciiopieli>. It has been recently discovered that tho bur maple wood grown in Washing? ton is superior to liny wood yet tried iu tho manufacture of small stringed in? struments, such ns violins. This is veri? fied by the practical experience anil tes? timony of a well known Chicago instru? ment maker. He finds that the Wash? ington maple is superior to any ho has yet used, and bo has heretofore been im? porting maple from tho mountain re? gions of Switzerland as tho best he could find iu the world. The. Washington mnplo scema to pos? sess the necessary qualities of being very difficult to split, capacity for satiny finish, resonance, strength and lightness in the superlative degrees. While thu demand for such wood does not call for any grout amount, it is steadily increas? ing and will almost command its own price.
