Adjournment specuiations,


Washington, May 3.-Congress can
easily adjourn in June. The appro-
priation committee only awaits the
revised estimates of the Secretary of
War, that favor having been asked
by Secretary Taft, and the preparation
of the sundry civil bill, nece--
sarily the last appropriation bill pre-
pared and usually known MS the
omribus bill. or course the threat
ened deadlock in the Senate must he
taken into consideration, but if the
Senate behaves itself there is no real
son why Congress should o adjourn
by the middle of June.

How to Hang Pictures.


No picture ought to 5be higher than the
height of the, average Human eye when the
owner Of the eye is Standing. 1t is the al
most univ ersal rule in our houses to hang
pictures much above this level, and they
cannot be enjoyed there. If the picture lisa
portrait, or if It have human faces in it,
its eyes should look as nearly into ours as
possible and if there be no such simple
guide. perhapsTa good rule will be to have
the line that divides the picture horizon
tally into equal parts level with the eye.
If one starts in hanging pictures with the
determination to place them so that they
can be easily seen and enjoyed without
stretching the neck the least, or STOPPING
the body, he will be pretty sure to do
well. In remote farm houses and country
taverns we often see pictures, particularly
portraits, skyed as high as if their owners
had been Academy Hangers, and the
painters young rivals of a new school. /
suppose the reason is that the simple
hearted owners think picture such a
precious thing, it can't be hung too Sc
curely out of the reach of meddling hands
They are often not clear in their minds as
to what picture is meant for, and not
finding in ityany practical relation to
human life and society, they treat it with
reverence and put it where it will disturb
them as little as possible. But, as people
come to enjoy pictures and get some in
tellectual, spiritual nourishment out of
them, they want them, as they want their
books, where they can see them and use
them-Cldrence Cook, tn @ScrS6ne,''s

A Strange Burial.


4 Have we still among us people who
believe that py having avaluables buried
with them they get better chance of car
rying them out of the world into the
spiritual state of -existence?g A Yorkshire
squire, Squire Hawley, who lived at Hat
field, near Doncaster, seems to have
thought SO, forshe leftpthe. other day. his
whole fortune to his groom, on condition
that he 1.-THE teStator) should be buried in
hunting costume, with whip and spurs,
with his pony and his dog, which were
shot for the occasion-the pony ready
saddled and bridled--in his own ground,
amongst the, graves of 1.-THE slaughtered
oxen which had fallen sick of srinderpest.
If the groom did not, strictly fulfill the
conditions, the fortune was 10 go~to the
Roman Catholics; but the groom did
fulfill them, and the Roman@ Catholic
priest consecrated the ground in which
the grave was, made before burying the
squire. Clearly those eccentric provisions
We're mot meant to provide against any
possible neglect Of the pony and dog in
The future, for, that would not account for
the burial OF. the bride and saddle and
whip and spurs, or of alfox which was
also buried with. the SQUIRE - 1t looks
very like the remains, of the old, wild
superstition, that what goes with you into
the grave passes on with you into the i'm

A Coffin in a DraWing.ROom.

When we entered the large drawing
room shortly before dinner, l could not
keep my eyes from wasdering, everything
seemed so strange-from the stiff, upright
chairs and sofas, to the huge flower vases,
looking like miniature water casks, and
the quaint, costly chandeliers, whose use
/ never should have guessed but for the
scores of wax tapers that glittered in them
even at broad daylight. One of the chan
deliers was shaped like flying dragon,
and out of mouth, eyes, wings and tail
burst such volume of light as fairly to
dazzle one who ventured on too near an
approach to the monster. But the strang-
est object of all, to my eyes, at least, was
very elegant coffin, placed in the most
conspicuous part of the drawing room. /

my host said, with an amused smile:
s. 'tOh, that was birthday present from

ter embroidered a beautiful silk sheet to

This, learned afterward, was no un-
common Casa handsome coffin and

IA Glimpse Of Gen. Washington.


One other scene may properly be added
to this brief record of the struggles and
triumphs of old New York. There came
asunshiny day in April, 1885, when
George Washington, President elect of the
United States by the unanimous voice
of the people, stood sonF balcony in
front Of the Senate Chamber in the old
Federal Hall on Wall. street, TO take, the
oath of office. An immense multitude
filled the streets, and the windows and
roofs of the adjoining houses. ! CladTin
suit of dark brown cloth of American
manufacture, with hair powdered and
with white silk stockings silver shoe
buckles and steel-hilted dress sword, the
hero who had led the colonies to- their in
dependence came modestly forward to-
take up the burdens that peace had brought.
Profound silence fell upon, the multitude.
as Washington responded solemnlysto the
reading of the oath Of office: a"I swear
so help me God.'' Then, amid cheers,
the display of flags and the ringing of
all thessabells thezcity, our first Presi-
dent turned to face the duties his country
men had imposed upon him. In sight of
those who would have made an idol of
him, Washlngton's first act was to seek
the aid of other strength than his own. In
the calm sunshine of that April afternoon,
FRAGRANT with the presence of seed-tim
and the promise of harvest, we leave him

with the simplicity of. "a child at the feet

IL One trick Of our time i. should like to
haveAa word-with, and that's, the habit of
over-ornamenting everything II is not
merely that we over ornament; where
ornament is advisable at all this is a natural
enough fault to fall into, but we ornament
thousand things that ought not to be
ornamented. 1t is hard to find an object
of merchandise to-day that has not orna-
ment (so-called) of some kind stuck or
fastened upon it. That terrible word
tsbaren seemsT to have frightened US all,
and driven us to- cover the nakedness of
things with whatever comes to hand. We
gcover our note-paper with clumsy water
marks, we put "monograms" (though
"many grams would express better the.
multitudinousness and intricacy of these
i,legible devices) on our clothing,g on our
bed linen, on our table-linen, on our books
and title-pages,, on our, carriages and
silver-our silver! Oh, was there ever
silver like unto ours for knobs and
welts, and wrinkles and spikes, and
every thing that silver shouldn't have?
If the reader will look about him as he
reads this, he. will certainly find in his
own surroundings, for we can none of us
wholly escape, the justification for this
criticism. The architects cannot design
house .oraaaa church, but they must
carve every stone, cover the walls with
cold,r discordant tiles, break up every
straight line with cuts and 1chainfers,
pillow every edge into holdings, crest every
roofridgek and dormer- window with,
painted and gilded iron,. and refuse to
give us square foot of wall on which to
rest the tired eye. Within, the furniture
follows in the same rampant lawlessness.
The beauty of simplicity in form; the
pleasure to be had from lines we'll thought
out; the agreeableness of unbroken sur
faces where there is no gain in breaking
them; .harmonyin color, and, on the whole,
the sministering to the satisfaction we all
have inpotseeing the whole ofeverything at
"onee-these considerations the makers of
our furniture, " fashionable'' and "Canal
street, alike, have utterly ignored, and
the strife has long been, who shall make
the loudest chairs and sofas, and, give US
the most glare and glitter for our. money.

A Good Fox Story.


There was one1old fox which for, PEI
riod of several years gIhad continually
evaded the feetest and keenest-scented
hounds, the scent invariably being lost in
the vicinity of . a. house situated in the
woods and far removed from any habita
ton, and which was used as storehouse
for pelts. AT last one day the hounds
started the old fox, and away he went in
the direction of the house, with pack of
young hounds in full cry after him, but
ON nearing the house he disappeared,
leaving the hounds and hunters nonplussed
as usual While the hunters were gath
cred in and around the house, discussing
the frequent mysterious disappearance of
the fox an old veteran hound came limp
ing up, and,y entering the door, setup a
vigorous barking. and tried to jump upon
tie WALL His singular action attracted
the attention of the hunters, and, an ex-
animation being madegitlie old fox was
found suspended by his tail to3aa nail in
the wall, keeping perfectly still and look
ing, unless closely observed, like the
pelts with which the walls were hung.
This plainly showed that the old fox,
when too closely pressed, had taken refuge
in the house and hung himself upon the
nail by his tail, which was the reason for
the dogs always losing the scent at that
particular place. Reese RdOer (Neo.l

Rheumatism "a Symptom of Other Dig


The alarming extent of chronic rheuma-
tism in the country has led to persistent in
vestigation. It has lately been ascertained
that the disease is the result Of other COM
plcated diseases of the liver, kidneys, PAN
creas, blood, absorbents, etc. In other
words, that rheumatism is symptom. 1t
is also found that, by the removal of the
complicated disease, the rheumatism disap
pears, as result which seems to substantiate
the theory We all know, to our sorrow,
how fruitless the ordinary treatment of this
disease has been, and we now hail with joy
the dawn of this new discovery We all
know that the symptoms of these diseases
are generally present in cases of chronic
rheumatism, but few have supposed the
disease to be an effect.
Tosremove these diseases the surest remedy
can be found in the SHAKER EXTRACT OF

be working many cures. We refer to the
