Rules for the Direction of an Esthetic Taste. From the New York Evening Post. In the first place do not eat them with cream; butter or marrow-bones were as fit accompani- ment. Water, with a little sugar, according to the sharpness of the fruit, yields the true un- obscured tang of the strawberry, which cream only confuses, and with an alien flavor, which affects a just taste as a correct ear is affected by half-tones struck together upon a piano- forte. This simple regimen, however, suits only the robust. The sensitives, who else would suffer from the specific poison of the straw- berry, should use, instead of water, a like quantity of old rum (preferably Grenada), which not only serves as an almost certain prophylactic, but is in fine and high congruity with the savor of the berry, even developing and increasing it. Certain newer sorts of straw- berries may be had, notably the Sharpless, which are not of the turnip-like varieties, but tender throughout, Seog Ce J that one must make two or three mouthfuls of each one, and flavorous too, These, long-stemmed and bedded witb green leaves in crystal on a breakfast or a luncheon table, may entice the most resolute, and for them, their own stems being handle enough, the dry plunge into fine sugar suffices; and the rum may be taken after, perhaps, with results equally beneficent. The very height of strawberry-eating is with coffee. Nobody ever really tasted coffee who has not drunk it in alternate mouthfuls with strawberries, and nobody has known the straw- berry flavor excepting immediately after the clearing of the taste which comes from drink- ing coffee. The clearing property of coffee is familiar enough, but there is strange ignorance of this special application of it. The best of strawberries with the best of coffee make the, supreme refinement of indulgence in the it. coe Spring Smile: Jones’ apprebensions.—Brown — “Ten En- glish paupers came over on the last steamer.” Jones (who is very rich and the father of several daughters)—*Great goodness!

NEARLY NINE INCHES OF RAINFALL HERE, FIVE INCHES IN EXCESS OF THE NORMAL PRECIPI- TATION FOR THAT MONTH IN PRECEDING YEARS— THE WEATHER CLEAR AND OOOL TO-MORROW, To-day, with its showers and its winds, is a fitting end of one of the wettest months Wash- ington ha# ever experienced. May, reputed to be the time of joy and gaiety, the time of sun~ shine and warmth, picnics and lawn-tennis, marriages and garden parties, has succeeded in making a record in this year of Our Lord, 1889, of having been as wet as a month can possibly be, without borrowing a few days from its neighbors at either end. According to the sig- nal office, 8.67 inches of rain descended upon the soil of the capital city. This was 5.21 inches in excess of the normal rainfall for May, and only in keeping with the record of the year in this vicinity. 4 DECIDEDLY MOIST SPRING. Since January 1 there has been an excess over the average rainfall of 11.01 inches, There has been this peculiar feature about the rain- fall along the coast, that while there wasa ok excess of rain here, in Baltimore, and in New York, Philadeiphia has had a deficiency, This condition of affairs has prevailed through- out the eastern section of the country, the ex- cesses of precipitation standing side by side with deficiencies in places only a few miles away. THE VERY HEAVY STORM that has caused the rain here is centered in Ohio and western New York, and is moving slowly to the northeast. Peculiarly enough it was the presence of this storm over the states just south of the Great Lakes that saved the wheat and other crops of that region from probable total destruction, There were low temperatures reported all through that vicinity and westward, and as a result there were killing frosts in Iowa and light frosts in Tennessee. Had it not been for the storm, with its accom- panyment of heavy clouds, there would un- doubtedly have been killing froste all through Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio, and the wheat cro} would have been badly damaged, if not ruine This Sete was the result of the natural law that frosts form only under a clear sky. ONE MAN WHO WAS SATISFIED WITH YESTERDAY'S RAIN. The special Wrédiction of Wednesday fore- shadowing rain on Decoration Day was thought to be dangerous at the sigual office, as it in- cluded the entire country from the Gulf states to the lakes, Probably the only man in Wash- ington who wanted it to rain in Washington yesterday was Lieut. Dunwoody, the officer who made the prediction. He got his wish, and the “special” was completely verified, for the whole country included in the prediction had rain before midnight. A SPECIAL ‘‘CLEARING-UP” BULLETIN. ‘This morning, looking over the map, he saw indications that the storm center would move during the day, after gathering in a couple of sinall local lows hanging on its skirts, and thus Eweeping off would cause a general ciearing up all along the coast. On the basis of this he issued a “special” as follows: “The probabilities are that the storm which now extends over the Atlantic coast and the lake regions will be followed on Saturday on the Atlantic coast from New York southward to North Carolina by much colder and generally fair weather. Frosts are indicated Saturday morning for the states of the Ohio valley and thence southward over east Tennessee, West Virginia, northern Georgia and western North Carolina. LOWER TEMPERATURE IN WASHINGRON. The temperature here will probably go down to the neighborhood of 50 degrees. Very heavy rainfalls were reported and a prediction has been sent forth that the Ohio river will rise 5 feet at Cincinnati by June 3. Here are some of yesterday's records of the rainfall: Washington, 1.58 inches; Charlotte, 1.76; Lynchburg, 2.00; Port Huron, 1.64; Pitts burg, 1.44; Parkersburg, 1.48; Knoxville, 1.32; Raleigh, 1.52, Lieut. Dunwoody retires from the prediction office to-day for a month. He has made an excellent record, as usual, during May, and Gen. Greely has received many congratulations upon the uniform success of the service's pre- dictions. Prof. Hazen will be the predictions officer for June, ALEXANDRIA. Reported for Tax EVENING STAR.

JOSEPH BORROWS DEAD. A Practicing Physician in this City for More than Sixty Years. Dr. Joseph Borrows, one of the oldest native inhabitants of the District apd a practicing physician for over sixty , died last even- ing at his residence, 715 6th street northwest, in the eighty-third year of his age. Dr. Bor- Tows’ parents came here from Philadelphia on the removal of the seat of government to the District, his father being a trusted employe of the Post-Office department. Joseph Borrows was born January 20, 1807, and when five years of age his parents moved toa house on the north side of E street, near 10th street northwest, where the doctor contin- ued to reside after their death, in all a period of three-quarters of a century. A few years ago he moved to the house in which he died, He studied medicine under the elder Dr, Stoughton, and with Dra. Noble Young and Harvey Lindsay formed the graduating class of the medical department of Columbian college in March, 1 He entered at once on the active practice of medicine, which he con- tinued up to a few years ago, when the infirmi- ties of age compelled him to keep to his house, During the chdlera epidemic of 1882 he was active in relieving the sufferings of the af- flicted, among them the Bogan family, one member of which, Samuel Bogan, afterward studied medicine and graduated under Dr. Bor- rows twenty yeers afterward. Quite a number of physicians studied medicine with Dr. Bor- rows, among them Drs. Rothwell, Chas. Tree, andthe late Rich C. Croggen. Dr. Borrows was one of the incorporators of the Medical society of this District (of which he was for many years the president), the Medical associa- tion, and the American Medical association, and fifty years ago was surgeon of the Wash- ington Light Infantry, which position be held for a number of years. _ There was probably no more popular physi- cian or man in the District than Dr. Borrows, and hundreds of children were named for him in families he attended through, in some instances, four generations, Notwithstanding his ex- tensive practice the deceased found time to give his services as a citizen to the public, serving for many years as a member of the city councils and on the old board of health. His service in the city councils commenced as far back as 1840, and he with his fellow members was present to welcome Gen. W. H. Harrison (the grandfather of the President) when he he came here to be inaugurated. He leaves a widow and one daughter. His funeral will take lace on Sunday after- noon at 4 o'clock, and Rev. Dr. Cuthbert will officiate, The interment will be at Glenwood, and the active pall-bearers will be nephews of the deceased. —.>—_—_ Given a Chance to Reform, A young woman named Lillie Hayes was in the Police Court this morning, charged by Policeman Ellis with having kept an unlicensed bar at No. 1114 C street, in the “Division.” Mr. C. Carrington made an appeal to the court for mercy. He said that the defendant had kept a disreputable house at the place mentioned. She determined to lead a better life and left the house, renting the premises to another woman, Then, thinking it was just as bad to rent the place for immoral purposes as it was to conduct it, she removed the furniture and quit the business for good. Under these cir- cumstances he thought the ends of justice would not be defeated if the woman's personal bonds were taken. Policeman Ellis was called and he gave testimony in substantiation of Mr. Carrington’s statement. Mr, Shillington said that with such a state of facts existing he would offer no objection to the court adopting Mr. Carrington’s suggestion. Judge Miller said that where persons made up their mind to re- form and showed an honest disposition to do sohe would never put any obstacle in their way. Her personal bonds were then taken. > He Wanted to be Investigated. The detectives were sitting in Inspector Swindell’s room, at police headquarters, this morning, waiting to hand in their daily reports, when an intoxicated man entered and called Detective Horne aside and told him in a confi- dential manner that Mrs. Getz had lost €40, “Now,” said the visitor, “I’m the only one who has a key to the box from where the money was taken and she suspects me. I want you to arrest me and investigate the matter.” “Have you got the money?” asked Detective Horne. “If you have. you can just hand it “No,” responded the man who wanted to be arrested, drawing his pocketbook from its re- ceptacle in his trousers, “I didn't take the money. If you don’t believe me, you can search me.” "He opened the pocketbook and counted out 3 cents. ‘The officer refused to ar- rest the visitor, and he left the office, sentesees~esishets Grapvatine Exercises. —The graduating class of Wood’s Comm school he!d their fourth annual commencement Wednesday even- ing. ‘The class in elocution rendered some fine selections.

From the Chicago Journal. “What are we stopping for?” said the lady. “Balky horse on the track,” answered the gentleman. “He won't move for whipping or pelting or whispers in the ear or—anything.” “Did I ever tell you,” she asked, “about my experience with a balky horse? No? Well, it was out on the Colorado plains. The most ele- gant young eligible of our set had invited me to take a ride behind his high-spirited, fine- blooded horse. I got myself up to do justice to the occasion. All went delightfully till, when we were on the open plain outside Den ver, that valuable animal concluded to pause in his rapid motion and meditate. My escort shook the reins, clucked persuasively, remonstrated encouragingly, gave v touch of the whip, at whi the horse hb reared and kicked viciously, but still we were stationary out on that lonely sandy level. M: elegunt escort grew red in the face with morti- fication and clinched his teeth so as not to let slip any regretable words. “If you will allow me to get out I could start him,’ he said. ‘Oh, by no means,’ I rejoined. ‘I could never hold him. Let me get out and try putting sand in his mouth, I’ve becn told that worked like « charm.’ And so it did. I clambered out of the buggy, zrabbed a good fist full of fine sand, opened the jaws of the horse and threw it in. e astonished horse tore off like a flash, and as I stood alone, five miles from home in that solitary place and watched the maddened horse, the powerless driver and the black buggy grow @ mere dot in the distance, 1 decided the expe- iment had been a perfect success as far as starting the horse was concerned.” coe — Fiction as a History of Society. H.W. Mabie, in Scribner. From the days of Fielding to those of Chas. Reade English life has never missed faithful record at the hands of those who have compre- hended it becausg they have pierced it with their sympathetic issight. Every great polit- ical movement like Chartism, every striking political incident like the Gordon riots, every form of discontent and agitation among the lower classes has had fit and often lasting rec- ord. While Georgs Eliot has set forth the tre- mendous force of inheritance and environment, the vigorous and often coarse brush of Dickens has painted, on a great canvas, the homely life of the common people; and the inimitable art of Thackeray, equally akin to irony and hed has made us permanent possessors of!

From the New York Evening World, Vanity, thy name is woman! How the dainty maiden pinches her waist anc almost suffocates herself; how she bank+ rupts herself in order to outshine her neigh- bor in a new spring bonnet, and how she frizzles and twists, powders and paints in order to look like something she is not, has been told in as many languages as the confasion of Ba- bel produced, and here is a new fad of a cer- tain fair one. “That woman invariably does that,” said a gd avenue shoe desler to an Boening World reporter, with an amused expression asa fair customer tripped lightly out of his store to-day. ‘Does what?” the reporter inquired. “Why, didn’t you notice? She asks for two pairs of fine kid'shoes, one pair of number two ‘for herself’ and the other a pair of fives “for Jane.’ Jane is her cook, and probably ne’ saw a pair of $7 kid boots, except her mistress’ old ones.” The reporter was still puzzled, and the loqua- cious shoe dealer continued: “I've sold that lady lote of goods during the last five years, and she always has two pairs sent home like that. To-morrow or next day she sends the twos back with word that they didn’t suit her. Now, she couldn't begin to get her foot into a two, but a five just fits her. “Vanity!
