All the news that comes from Wash ington in these stirring times isn't Important, but there can be no doubt of the importance of a new wrinkle in Wliite House etiquette. This new wrinkle showed itself at a luncheon given to some ladies by] Mrs. Roose velt. At the European' courts It is the custom at the end of the dinner for all the royal personages at the ta ble to rise and retire while all others present remain seated. The royalties proceed to the drawing r-com and take for themselves the preferred seats, while the others later stroll in and distribute themselves in the remain i»S seats. The ladies who were bid den to the recent White House lunch eon are telling their friends that Mrs. Roosevelt rose and retired at the end of the repast and in a little while the others followed. But if this looks royal it is offset by other things which are truly Amer ican. Mrs. Knox has ordered iter winter silks from New Jersey. Miss Root's trousseau is to be entirely of American manufacture. Mrs. Fair banks will wear only gowns made ia Indianapolis and Baltimore. And Mrs. Roosevelt always lias patronized home trade. It may be added that while Mr. "Joe" Cannon is speaker of the House, on * brauoh of the government is sure to be flavored with true Americanism.

The motto which has just been carded on the $10 goldpiece was of comparatively recent adoption—prob ahlv in or al»out the year 1S70. it place, having been formerly taken lv the words **K plurihus unuin." whirl first appeared on the New Jersey cm renev in 1786. In the Mi.Idle Ages texts from th Bible were very commonly adopted. German coin of the sixteenth century for instance, bears the inscription Love God before all tilings” and 5 England we find texts and religious mottos dating back to Angle-Saxo times. Here are a few of the Bibl cal quotations which have figured *ii Latin) on the coinage of Great Bri tain: lvOrd. save Thy people. He hath done marvelous things. Let God arise and let His ennui* be scattered. Give peace. O ijord. Blessed be the name of the Lord. What God hath joined together 1* no man put asunder. But Jesus, passing through the His way. would seem that, like oth s. every motto has its day. I thing But Luckily Escaped Without Injury Other Than a Severe Jolt. Last night about eight o’clock a ne gro woman on a street car on Prince | midst of them went avenue near the Normal School took a notion suddenly to get off the car and^withom warning the conductor just, stepped off the moving car. Site was thrown ah. ut ten feet and hit the ground with great violence. Tin* men on the car thought she was badly hurt. but. when they went to her assistance she got tip and walked away with apparent ease, not appear ing to h»» hurt otherwise than by be ing severely shaken up by the fall.

A REFLECTION. A Washington educator tells an amusing story of his college days in New England, says tin* Washington Star. One of the institution’s most eminent, professors was lecturing. His class was for some reason restless, and after fidgeting for a time a num ber of the students took no pains to onceal their weariness. The profes ;or remained, a while in apparent un consciousness of their attitude, but suddenly he stopped. After an in tant’s pause he loaned forward, his face taking on a charming and char acteristically quizzical expression, and said: “Gentlemen. I must ask that you be patient, and hear with nie a few mo ments longer.
