A SHORT ROAD TO KNOWLEDGE.
How Busy Women Read the News of the
'. Day by Proxy.
The secret is out. It is no longer a
set of Washington are enabled to dis-
tional and State affairs, as well as all
other subjects of the day, social and
literary, without neglecting‘social or
home duties.
It has been noticed that at least om
morning in the week the thinking aris-
tocracy of Washington arise early,
and, in fetching and appropriate cos-
tumes, gather at 10:30 in the parlors of
the Wimondaughsis Club, on New
York avenue.
There, behind closed doors, they
meet a brilliant young woman, Miss
Janet Richards, who, in a. talk of an
hour and a half, posts her fair hearers
(mall the current.topics of the day.
In a concise and interesting way
Miss Richards, with a wonderful know-
ledge of current events, explains to
them the happenings of the week and
the matters likely to be discussed dur-
ing the coming week.
Beginning with European politics,
she reviews the situation there, inter-
spers-ing her remarks with humor and
sarcasm enough to make them inter-
esting. She is ‘piquant and bright, so
heraudience, notebook in hand, nev-
er wearies as she discusses subjects of
gravest importance. ‘
Questions are asked by her auditors,
they are ready to discuss any topic of
the day intelligently with diplomate
or layman. ‘ ‘-
“You have no idea what a relief it
is to come here,” remarked one of the
ladies of the Cabinet. “With all the
social demands upon us it would be
impossible for us to keep posted on
lab the subjects of the day. 'One could
never read up on all these and have
time for anything else.
A Senator in speaking of Miss Rich-
ards said: .
“For a long time many of us were
puzzled to know where our wives got
their information, for when a discus-
sion arose on any subject of interest
they seemed to be better posted than
we were.”—~New York World.
NAPOLEON‘S LOST TREASURE.
Recalls an Incident of the Russian Cam-
_ paign in 1812.
The recent find of an old military
knapsack filled with French gold piec-
es coined abdut the beginning, of the
century, near Vilno, Russia, recalls the
dreadful fate of Napoleon’s grand army
and its disastrous Russian campaign in
1812. After the destruction of Moscow
the bold conqueror was compelled to
seek safety, but his return to the fron-
tier was not the retreat of an orderly
army; it was flight with all its hor-
rors. Napoleon himself hurried back
in advance of his army, in order to
where. The shipping of the war treas-
ure, which at that time still contained
[2,000,000 francs, and which was trans
ported in barrels in carriages drawn
by picked horses, was intrusted to
Marshal Ney. Nappleon never saw
remained was kept a profound secret
For a long time. Under strong cover
the transportation of the treasure was
from Vilno .the wagon stuck in a de-
file, and it seemed" impossible to get
them out again. Rather than see the
treasure in the .hands of the Russians,
ri‘ield Marshal N ey gave orders to break
open the barrels and distribute the
money to the returning soldiers as
they passed by, and thus it was done.
Many of the soldiers threw away all
their belongings in order to fill up"
their knapsacks with gold,'but very
few of those who carried the heavy
wealth were able to drag the burden to
the frontier, and the very gold which
was intended for their benefit was the
cause of their perishing.——Boston Tran-
script.
One on Dr. Johnson.
Dr. Sam Johnson was sometimes
‘come up with,” and was honest
enough not to be offended when his
outspoken rudeness meta spirited re-
buke, as the following anecdote shows.
At the time Stuart was a young man,
‘ studying under :the great painter, Ben-
iamln West. He gives the story in his
"History 'of the Arts of Design in the
United States.”
“Dr. Johnson called one morning on
Mr. West to converse with him on
American affairs. After some time Mr.
West said he 'had a young American
(Gilbert Stuart) living with him, from
whom he might derive some informa-
tion, and introduced Stuart. The con-
versation continued (Stuart being thus
invited to take part in it),-ayvhen the
Dr. observed to Mr. West That the
young man spoke very good English,
and, turning to Stuart, rudely asked
him where he had learned it. Stuart
replied: ‘Sir, I can better tell you
where I- did not ,learn it—it was not
from your dictionary.’ Johnson seem~
.ed aware of his own abruptness and
was not offended.”—_Hartford Courant.
Rules for a Long Life.
A distinguished physician gives nine-
teen rules for longevity, most of which,
like “keep your temper,” are well
known. But others are less familiar,
such as “Do not have your bedstead
against the wall,” “Have a. mat to your
bed room door,” “Allow no pet animals
in your living rooms," and “Eat plenty
of fat, to feed the cells which destroy
liseased germs.” One of the rules, “Ex-
ercise before breakfast,” is noted for
lts enthusiastic abandonment after a
short trial. ,
