FACTS ABOUT UMBRELLAS.

Antiquarians say that the umbrella was III
vented shortly after the food, and has been the
least improved upon OF all appliances for human
comfort, the shape being now as it was in those
youthful days of the world. an umbrella Is
much like pigeon as to the question of posses
sion-the last one who gets it owns it. The fol-
lowing facts about enthusiastically the last
one-may serve every reader q splendid purpose
sooner or later: To place your umbrella in a rack
indicates that it is about to change owners. An
umbrella carried over d woman, the man getting
nothing but drippings of the rain, indicates court
ship. When the man has the umbrella and the
carry it at right angles under Your arm Signifies
that an eye is to be lost by thaman who follows
you. Toput cotton UNI brella by the side ofa,nice
silk one signifies that exchange is no robbery"
To lend an umbrella signifies that 81 am fool
To carry an umbrella just high enough to tear
ont men eyes and knock off mems hats, signifies
g am woman" Pc go without an umbrella
in rain-storm shows am sure of getting rheu,
matism, and will have to use ST. JACOBS OIL to
get well" To keep fine umbrella for your own
use and bottle of ST. IA CoBS OIL always in the
house, in case of rheuma tism or accident, would
signify that you are real philosopher.

The following communication to the editor OF
the Salem (Mass) Register shows how an artist
treated his visitor: Il would have accepted your
kind invitation to visit you in your new quarters
with pleasure before this had not my old enemy,
Bfr. rheumatism, pounced ON me so suddenly.
He arrived last Friday, and, without stopping TO
send UP his card rushed in and grasped me by
the hand with such grip that in q few hours
my hand and wrist were SO badly swollen and
painful that felt as though one of Mr.. Hateh's
coal teams had run over me. Mr.. Rheumatism
has been q constant visitor of mine for several
years he always sWells and put on great many
airs, making himself at home, devouring my sub
stance and leaving me poor in flesh and pocket.
Last winter he came and stayed two months. /
then decided that the next time he came would
change his diet. l was somewhat at a loss what
to feed him with, but finally concluded to give
him three square meals a day of ST. JACOBS OIL
morning, noon and night. This fare he is dis
gusted with, and is packing up his trunk and will
leave by tomorrow or next day; says he cannot
stop any longer, as he has pressing business else
where. He is a treacherous fellow, and he in
tends visiting some of our Salem friends: If he
does just give him the same fare that 1 did and
he won't stop ln'f J. =. LEFAYOUR.

THE ADJOURNMENT OF CoxGnEss,
But Little Debate oR Appropriations
Expected to Arise 10 Interfere

WASHINGTON, March 27-Congressmeu
are beginning to talk about the time OF
final adjournment OF this session. II it
were not for the expected prolonged tariff
debate in the House in connection with
the attempt to pass the tariff commission
bill, it would be possible to adjourn by the
middle of June. The appropriation bills
are fairly advanced, and there is not dis.
position TO seek so much party advantage
from debate upon these bills as there has
been in former Congresses. The Republicans
are simply intent upon securing the peces.
sary appropriations, and considerable op.
portunity for political debate in connection
with them arises from the deficiencies
which have been caused by the cheese.
pairing and false economy Of the Demo.
Gratis, when in the name Of retrenchment
the Government was crippled. No incon-
siderable portion OF the existing estimates
is due to the fact that under Democratic
policy ordinary current work In q good
lnany branches Of the public service was
in great measure suspended, and the
failure to appropriate was claimed by the
| Democrats us retrenchment of expendi-
lures. The executive departments have
been obliged in many instances 10 make
larger estimates than the real current needs
OF their departments on account OF these
accumulated arrears Of deficiency. For
this reason the Democrats are little dis
posed to say very much about economy on
the appropriation bills, and outside Of the
army bill, which involves the question Of
compulsory retirement, very little contest
is expected on the remaining bills
Speaker Keller says that he is in favor
ofan early adjournment, and that he thinks
that long session as rule results only in
injury. He has it very much in his power
to facilitate the public business il he will.
The Senate spends comparatively little
time upon the appropriation bills, that
body accepting in the main the decision OF
its committees, So far US these bills go,
therefore, an early adjournment would be
practicable.
ltremains to be seen whether the ap-
preparation bills once completed, it will be
possible to retain the House for the many
other important measures which are press
