GOSSIP IN WASHINGTON. Ono of the most familiar faces to be seen in Washington Is that of Dr. Bliss, tho man who flgnrcd so prominently during the long two mouths and a half when Garileld lay slowly drifting to death under the Impetus of Gulteau's bullet. About one year ago the doctor's health began to fill. Years of incessant smoking had at last as serted its Insidious and deleterious effect, and kts friends at ono time feared that death was about to lay Its hand upon him. Almost the entire life of Dr. Bliss has been as sociated with Washington, When quite a young man bo began his practico here and achieved steady success until about fifteen years ago an allegcd^dlreovcry in medical science engrossed his attention, diverted from his practice, and finally camo near proving his ruin. It Is said that many years ago in sorno wild por* t!on of South America a man lay sick almost unto death of cancer.

A* the Christian Advoeatejiiatly observes we will all have to begin again and learn many things over before the system of cooking north and south will bo in harmony with each other. During the At lanta exposition aome yean ago I had a gcntlo man and Indy (tom Boston staying with mo for •everal weeks, who had never been south be fore. It was in the fall, when the market af forded everything that was good, and being particularly fond of honsakeeping, I tried how nice a table I could spread each day. I had a splendid cook and •uperintendedmy hill of flue day bj day. I thought I had never been so succcsslhl, snd my guests were apparently delighted; they had splendid (real northern) appetites, and irit one dish was complimented and then another; I was asked for this recipe and that, until I was flattered beyond expres sion, when suddenly my pride had a (all. The lady sent for me to come to her room one day, and rolling up her sleeve in great alarm said to me: “Look at this, what is tho matter with met these splotches are all over me.” I saw she wu greatly excited and I quietly utd, “Why, that is only nettle rath.” “What is that? I never heard of such a thing.” I told her it proceeded from aome slight disorder of the stomach, and I would get her seme soda and water to bathe and relieve it, bat I could not quiet her. She telegraphed to the exposition grounds for her hosbtnd, sent for a doctor, and Anally said to me: “1 am sure It cornu thorn the entire difference In the food I have bun eating; the style of cooking hero It so different from oars; everything yon have is so greasy;” and I am convinced that lady and gentleman left my house thinking they bad Jolt escaped poisoning, when the tact was, their stomachs had merely been astonished by the quality and quantity of the food. So I guess it would not ha well for them to try cabbage and corn bread by cur recipe. ■ Words of Wisdom. The great obstacle to progress Is prejudice. None knows the weight of another's burden.
