SOME WASHINGTON PICTURES.
Differences in Dress Between Republi-
can and Democratic COngressmen.
fGalyeston News.

Galveston News.
The Republicans are the best dressed peo-
pie in both the Senate and the House. They
have better kept boards, sleek faces, and look
as though they had from 50 to S5 in their
vest pockets. They look as though they
think more about public matter than how to
save $4,000 per annum out of $4,000 sal
ary. They wear good coats and polished
shoes, and walk with the air of men conf
dent OF position, and are above making the
matter of personal appearance subject OF
study. They leave external matter to good
tailors and boot makers, pay the bills, eat
good beef and trimmings, shave often, and
have their heads shampooned so as to quick
en- clear thought and smell sweet to their
friends and wives. Some of the Democrats
are just as well kept, and glide through the
House like gentlemen. Let us add here that
dress does not make gentlemen, but it at
! tracts gentlemen, and suggests clean skin.
The plain Democrats who come here from
the people glory in being shod with nail
shoes, and capped with dropping, slouch,
umbrella-like hat Do these great terment-
ing minds stop to think that the biggest
brains lately in the Senate Roscoe Conkling,
left his measure with tailor when a boy,
and never knows what he puts on except as
he receives package on the eve of the sea-
sons as they come? Chester A. Arthus is the
neatest man in Washington almost, and he
has some brain, too. Abe Hewitt, Allison,
Edmunds, and Randall are wearers of good
broadcloth, well cut; and so are dozens of
others. Speaker Keifer is always ready for
a day call. Vest, of Missouri, is always in
wellshaped goods, and boldly wears gold
chain around the neck heavy enough to hold
Davis is a picture of respectability. Old
Robinson looks like an English lord. Mem
bers who get lodgings in the suburbs for ST a
day, two meals included, spend the time they
should be circulating among their brother
members in the frequented hotels and other
quarters walking to and from their country
sour-milk homes. When they get to their
seats in the Capitol they feel dull with bad
stomachs, and hardly get to thinking before
Calkins, Reed and other bright Republicans
have them in the nine hole.

A Dog Miser.
chambers Journal,

Chambers journal,
Instances OF canine economy are by no
means rare, but the account OF dog miser
is, so far as our records extend, unique
Dandie, the animal referred to, was New
foundland dog belonging to gentleman in
Edinburgh. 1t frequently had money given
to it, because, besides other interesting signs
of sagacity, it would go to the bakers and
buy its own bread. But Dandie received
more money than his needs called for, and
so he took to boarding it. This his master
discovered in consequence of the dog appear
ing one day with breakfast roll when it
was known that no one had given him any
money. Suspicion aroused, search was made
in the room where the dog slept. Dandie
appeared unconcerned until his bed was ap-
preached, when he seized the servant by her
gown and tried to pull her away, and be-
came so violent that his master had to hold
him. Sevenpence halfpenny was found hid
den in the bed Dandie did not forego his
saving propensities even after this; but he
exhibited a great dislike afterward for the
servant who had discovered his hoard, and
in the future was careful to select different
place of concealment. Stories of dogs who
carry money to shops in order to obtain food
are quite numerous; but the following incl
dent which was communicated to the Bristol
Mercury is, if authentic, probably unparal-
leled even in the canine records: A Bristol
dog was allowed by certain butcher to re-
ceiye his meat on trust, the butcher scoring
each penny's worth supplied on board with
a piece of chalk. One day our canine friend,
observing the man make two marks with
the chalk instead of one, seized another
piece of meat, and, despite all the efforts of
the butcher to detain him, ran off home
with both pieces in his mouth.

What a Clergyman Thinks

Texas clergyman, w. +. Penn has this
to say: i give it as my deliberate opinion,
after travelling over the State as an evengelist
for the last seven years, that the existence
and increase of railroads, together with the
telegraph wires which must run with every
road, have done more to prevent crime than
all the Legislatures that have assembled
since the war between the States, because
nearly all contemplating committing crime
first calculate the chances and probability of
escape. Before the railroad and wires were
here, nothing was easier than for the viola
tors of law to make good their escape, but
now it is almost impossible-which makes
punishment tat least so far as capturing the
guilty parties is concerned almost an abso-
lutte certainty-and all must admit that it is
not the degree but the certainty of punish
ment that prevents crime'

Washington Republican. J


You will not leave Harpers Ferry without
seeing that strange freak of nature-the por
trait of Washington, as it is called-on Mary
land Heights. 1t takes a credulous eye and
vivid imagination to discern q profile Of
the first President on small rock away up
the height, but there are persons who recog
nize the likeness, or think they do, and so
the ambitious tourist will never give up his
quest until he has formed somehow out OF
the shapeless mass of rock above him a por
trait and called it Washington. On small,
smooth, red rock, about 200 feet, I should
say, above the water, is this celebrated curl
osity Once find it and it stands out con-
spicuously, perfect face of a man at least
if not of Washington particularly, looking
up the Potomac. It is said that Washington
himself recognized the portrait, and would
stand for hours gazing at it in gloomy medi
tation. 1t is in a fit place to have foretold
him of his greatness.

Dogs Dying From Consumption.
fElmira Gazette.

A prominent citizen of GeneseO has been
prolonging his own life at the expense OF the
canine creation. Some two or three years
ago the gentleman in question, who was
pronounced by physicians to be in advanced
state of consumption, began the habit OF
taking his pet dog to bed with him. Ihe
dog soon exhibited unmistakable signs OF
lung difficulty, coughed almost constantly
and finally died The gentleman procured
another dog, and slept with it for time
when this animal also fell a victim to the
disease Another dog was procured, with
which the man now sleeps, and though the
third animal will probably die the same way
as the others did, the man is improving and
is better than before in years. The Hornells-
Vile Tribune saws that he is well-knowI
business man of Geneseo, and that it could
give his name if necessary.

Chambers Journal. I


Some curious experiments as to the action
of the brain during sleep have recently been
made upon himself by NJ. Delauney. Work
ing on the known fact that the action of the
causes rise of temperature in the Uranium,
the experimenter found that the converse of
this was true, and that he was able by cover
ing his forehead with wadding to stimulate
the action Of the brain. Dreams which are
naturally illogical and absurd, become under
his treatment quite natural and intelligent.
He also found that their character was much
modified by the position assumed during
sleep, whereby the blood might be made to
flow toward particular parts of the body,
and thus increase their nutrition and func-
tional activity. These experiments have
but slight value. Those whose lives are
spent in hard work, either physical or men
tai, will prefer their dreams as illogical and
vague as possible, so that the poor brain
may not go on working while the body is at
rest

Keeping Cool.

The Banner Of Light gives the following
directions for keeping cool, which it credits to
a. gentleman who had spent several years in
South America, remaining there as late as
July. He says: .-...s..-... ....-.....
/ slept comfortably and kept cool by adopt
ing the plan which learned and found prac-
ticed in the torrid climate of South America.
Just before retiring take cool bath, not
violent, but cooling, after which retire with
out drying the body. The result is aston
ishing-it is much like that produced by
sprinkling water on the floor in the evening.
The water absorbs the heat, and as it evapor-
ates throws the heat off with it, leaving the
body dry and cool. If the bath is not con-
venient, sprinkle the bed with water. If
both can be done it is better. In South
America the beds are all sprinkled just be-
fore retiring, otherwise it would be about i'm
possible to obtain any sleep; The receipt is
one that is intallible, as know from long
experience, and there is no danger in it.

Hints In Regard to Schools.

DIR. Lincoln, of New York, in q pamphlet
recently published, gives practical rules for
the heating, lighting and ventilation of each
type of school house, with illustrations of the
faults that can be corrected, as well as OF
those that are matters of construction. Some
of his suggestions are of general practical ap-
plication, and notably his advice to look
after the cellar, for the purity of house air
depends largely on the purity of cellar air,
and the danger OF severe sudden illness turks
in cellars as often as in sewers.
One advantage Of frequent rests in school
vcrk, with young children at least as often
as ten minutes in every hour, is that then
the windows can be opened, the children ex-
ercise in light gymnastics, and fresh air and
fresh activity, mental and physical, would
all come together. Children cannot be treated
in the mass, for individual peculiarities are
much more important elements in their
training and development. After all that is
possible has been done in building still much
remains for the teacher to do, in order to find
pupils those exceptional cases, both in mat
ters of temperament and intellect, which
need special consideration.
Particular care should be taken that chill
dren are not punished for failure to conform
to mere disciplinary rules, while the limit of
hours of mental application should be rather
under than over the average. An average
child of six should no more keep the same
school work as an average child of twelve,
than the same power should be expected
from an engine OF fifty horse power and an
other of double its capacity.

remember" he continued 'the race some
years ago between John Morgan and Black
stone Belle. The Belle was q Boston horse
while the other was owned in New York. A
friend told me Morgan was bound to win
and advised me to back him. The day the
race was to come off couple of Hartford
friends and myself with we'll filled pocket
books went to Boston, intending to back
found the odds were 100 to 35 on Morgan
and we didn't care to invest at these odds. A
heat was trotted and the mare acted so badly
that it was evident that Morgan could have
shut her out if he had not been pulled by
the driver Then the betting was wild.
Ten to one on Morgan A hundred to ten
on Morgan "A thousand to one hundred
on Morgan
"These odds were so big that, though we
came down from Hartford to back Morgan,
we agreed to take the odds, and each Of us
pooled in $780, and l went forward with my
81 500 to put it up on the mare. If anything
should happen that she should win we could
rake in $15,000-a snug little pile I sang
out, 100 to 1000 ON the mare" My friend
who gave me the betting point, and whom
had not before seen that day, heard my voice
and came up and excitedly said:
"'You are a fool. Didn't tell you to
back Morgan? He is backed to win sure
"This bluffed me off. 1t took all the pluck
out of me, and I went back to the boys tand
told them of it. With no money up we lost
all interest in the race, and started for the
city Before we got there we saw crowd
around suburban hotel, and we soon learned
that another heat had been trotted and that
the favorite had hurt himself and came near
being distanced. And the result was that
the mare had won the race, and we blanked
our luck in not being in on the $4,000 pot.
THAT was bad luck, but we had gone to
Boston to make something, and so we went
to bucking the tiger. We lost all the money
we had except about $1,000 each, and we put
this together and CHANGED it on a card and
won. From this point cur luck turned. One
of the party did all the playing, but we all
shared equally in the winnings. When we
left for Hartford we had doubled our pile,
but for all this we felt sick to think we
didn't scoop in that $4,000. But such is the
luck of the gambler. AS said at the start,

How Many Toes Has Cat!
Patterson Press.l 4...t.s.
This was one of the questions asked a
certain class in school No. 3 during examina-
tion week, and as simple us the question ap-
pears to be, none could answer it. In the
emergency the Principal, Mr.. Brands, was
applied to for solution, and he also, with a
good natured smile, gave it up, when one of
the teachers, determined not to be beaten by
so simple question, hit on the idea of send
ing out delegation Of boys to scour the
neighborhood for cat. When this idea was
announced the whole class wanted to Join in
the hunt. Several boys went out, and hav-
ing been successful, soon returned with
Thomas. A returning board was at once ap-
pointed and the toes counted, when to the
relief OF all it was learned that cat pos
sesses eighteen toes ten on the front feet
and eight on the hind feet. The Board of
Education should feel proud at having in
their employ so determined and a practical
teacher. After the question was solved,
Thomas was allowed to depart, much to his
satisfaction
