How 1t is Done.

Speakers of the House of Representa-
tives are as different in their ways of
using the gayel as they are different in
personal peculiarities. To use the gavel
promptly, at the right time, and spar
ingly, is the secret of success in the
chair; the slightest incompetence with
the gavel vitiates quickly the power of
any presiding officer. The present
speaker, an exchange says, understands
this perfectly his gentle and deliberate
but emphatic and forcible manner
would almost enable him to dispense
with the gavel in the ordinary proceed
ings of the House. When there is dis
order, he does not add to the confusion,
but sits quietly in the chair, tells the
House. in a pleasant tone of remon-
STRANGE, that "there is SO much confu-
sion in the hall that it is impossible to
go on with the business of the House., -
and remains silent until the members
settle in their seats and perfect quiet is

Vanderbilt's Scrap-BOOks.

The latest estimate of Commodore
Vanderbilt's wealth places it at hun
dred millions, and it is increasing every
day. The old man has large library,
which consists of scrap-books pasted
full of government bonds. He could
buy out half of the crowned heads of
Europe. Nobody, not even himself,
knows the exact figures of his wealth.
There is no danger of his falling in the
road so disastrously travelled by Daniel
Drew, because he is more careful about
scattering his promissory notes around,
and sticks rigidly to his library Of gov
eminent bond scrap-books. He is the
richest man on the American continent.

Domestic Economy.

The Danbury Ne0s says: The eco
nomical family is now at the zenith OF
its brilliancy. Everything is done by
itself. and all the expense of hiring
every little thing that is to be done
about the house is thus saved. The
smacking of the economical family's
lips can be heard further than any other
smacking. When new paper is to be
put on the wall paper hanger is not Sc
cured. The economical family makes
its own paste, cuts the paper, trims out
the border and does the hanging. ALI
the family is present at this perform
ance. The man measures the height of
the wall 10y his eye and cuts the paper,
the woman trims the border and snaps
the children out of the paste. By one
of those perversities of fate which no
one can understand-unless he is pa
per hanger by trade-the first length of
paper is not discovered to be three
inches too short or divided at the
wrong place until half its surface is
clinging to the wall. This wasn't the
mans fault. He never was more con-
vinced of it than when he is standing on
his toes on chair, with his arms strain
ed to their full length, the wet paper
turning over at the lower end and cling
ing tenaciously to foreign objects. This
conviction is so strong that he mentions
it. He mentions it at the top of his
voice. If he can get his eyes in range
of the cool, comfortable looking woman
who is prodding him with advice, he be-
comes actually inspired. That length of
paper has to be taken off again-taken
off very carefully to guard against loss.
1t is little unfortunate that a man was
not so created as to take hold at one
time of every inch of nine feet of pasted
paper. Until this error is remedied it is
doubtful if taking down q piece of wet
wall paper will ever become a national
pastime. Still, it must occasionally be
done, and when it is doing the lower
end of the sheet must be kept from
clinging to the operators legs while the
upper end is being removed. 1t is also
deemed best by many people not to step
on it, especially on the pasted side, and
it is also Just as well in removing tight
section not to lean too heavily against 9
loose section. But by carefully pre-
serving ones temper and working
thoughtfully, the whole length can be
removed and wrappedtwo or three times
around the mans form, and be part way
down his neck, and in between his legs
when he steps down from the chair
There are various ways of getting the
paper back whole on the table, or ap
proach it sideways, or crawl under il
and come up through the top, or cut ,
hole in the ceiling above and droI
through that way. But in an emergenc,
like this he rarely has that control o
himself he ought to have, and it is more
than likely he will have his wife and al
the children to help him. If within thu
very brief space of two minutes he ha
not got both his whiskers and pocket
I full of that paper, and boisterously com
municated things which no encyclo
p@dia would undertake to carry, thel
his economy is above the price of rubie
and he is a dangerous man to boarC

The Successful Physician

There is probably no man to whom the COM
munity owes 80 much as to the honest, fair
spoken physician, who does his actual duty
both to himself and to his patients. Really
skilled physicians are not 80 numerous that
their virtues need no mention, and hence the
advertisement Of DR.. Il. V. Pierce, of Buffalo,
may well claim the readers attention. DR..
Pierce is type of a class of men who obtain
success by careful and well directed effort, moi
attempting too much, or creating false ideas
as to ability. The only reliable physician il
these days of complicated disorders and high.
pressure living is the Specialist" the mar
who understands the one branch Of the bust
ness. Such in his line is DIR. Pierce. For the
benefit of his readers he has written "Com
mon Sense Medical Adviser" which is vel
worth reading by those who need such work
With strict business honor, high professiona
skill, reasonable fees, and large corps O.
competent assistants, DR.. Pierce will doubtless
| make his name familiar as "household words. ~

Not Known.

Curtis Gould remarks that tomatoes
seem to be but little known in England.
A friend, noticing that there were toma-
toes exposed for sale in country town
at which he was staying, ordered the
hotel landlord to provide some for his
dinner, and, in answer to the question
as to how he would have them served,
replied, raw. Imagine his surprise at
finding, when the succulent fruit was
served, that the cook had scooped out
the entire inside of it, leaving but thin
rind to be eaten.
