Colonel George Washington Jones,
Greenback member Of Congress from
Texas, is the tallest man in the House
of Representatives He wears blue
flannel or checked gingham shirts,
without collar or cuffs, coarse boots
and homespun clothes. He lives in
Washington in q half-furnished, un-
painted, uncarpeted and unswept back
attic room, lighted only by gas jet in
the hall. While his colleagues feast
daintily in the capitol cafe, he takes his
lunch of apples and gingerbread at his
desk. But this crude, harsh life is in
vested with pathos and nobility by the
fact that its sacrifices are made for the
sake of needy and suffering relatives at
home.

proved to be q horse thief, and was

thought that q new trial might be OBJ

A Bond of Acquaintance,

A jolly crowd of commercial travel
ers sat in the reading room of Chicago
hotel, cracking jokes and telling '.ghost''
stories, when in came slap-sided gaw-
Ky Hoosier, who, thinking himself un-
observed, quietly sat down and took in
all the fun. One of the boys, without
calling anybody's attention to the coun-
tryman, casually remarked, as he point
ed to chum who was reading a paper:
II shouldn't think Jim Bennett would
git there and pore over that old sheet.
Why, if I was as rich as he is I'd raise
the roof right off this house,
The countryman's eyes fairly bulged
out with wonder when he heard this al
fusion to the editor of such a big paper.
and he slowly gathered himself up and
shutt1ed toward the chair occupied bv
the alleged Bennett. Gazing at him
curiously for moment, he said, in a
faltering voice, ''are you Mr.. Bennett
the editor of the Now York Herold?''
The drummer looked up in amaze
ment; but, catching wink from the rest
Of the boys, he quietly replied:
That's what people say"
''G0shr' exclaimed the Hoosier.
''Well, my lad," benignantly said the
pseudo editor, ''what can do for youp''
"Why, sir,'' murmured the almost
paralyzed youth, ''why sir" my my
brother takes the Herald. Do you know
himP''
The supposed Bennett tainted, and
the rest of the crowd went into hyster-
ics, while the Hoosier didn't stop walk
ing until he struck the State line.-

Skill and Experience Required for Ohiok-
en- Stealing.

1T won't do for man to be
clumsy said the ex-chicken thief,
land good hen-coop operator is as fly
as a finished safe burglar. He does not
have 80 many tools to carry, and his
capital is not large. The principal art
icles OF the kit are bag and pair of
gum shoes and a, box Of blue-heads.
The first thing to be done is to get to
the chicken house. Sometimes this is
done by prying open gate. Then you
mustn't make no noise, and it's best not
to wear any heavy shoes, but to 60 bare
foot or wear rubbers. When you get to
the chicken house you pry open the
door, if it's fastened, and creep in"
'''And take the fowls down?'' queried
by-stander.
'Why, no. sir; the blue-heads then
come in-the sulphur matches. You
have your bag under your arm. and TAX
ing out your box of matches you scratch
one softly as you can. You won't have
no luck if YOU isn't careful how you

"Why, yes" said the reformed man,
land if you don't get the rooster first

you. If you get the rooster and keep
him still, it is all right, and you can
rake the roost, but if the rooster makes
the least noise the hens all sing cho-
rus, and you're running q risk. Cen

and if you want any mending done
send it around. Chicken pie and hen

Reminded Of the Choir.

There was little disturbance over at
the North End the other afternoon, in
which two men fell afoul of each other,
and pounded and clawed and bit each
other in great shape, and took turns in
rolling each other in the mud. During
the row little old man was seen in the
crowd rubbing his hands gleefully, slap
ping his knees and encouraging both
the combatants with equal praise and
exhortations to ''go in and VIM" He
seemed to be having splendid time,
and looked quite sad and detected when
the fight suddenly stopped upon ru-
NOR gaining currency that policeman
was coming. Some of the members of
the crowd wondered at the little old
mans enjoyment, and after the fight
was over one of them said to him:
You seem to be having a good time.
Was the man who licked the other
your son?''
NO" said the old man, mo relation
at all.''
"Was the man who got whipped an
enemy of yours?''
mo; never saw him before in my

you feel so good then?'' inquired the
questioncr.
''Well," said the little old man,

American Feet.


A man whose lowly trade it is to
measure feet, and to make notes of their
peculiarities and proportions, says that
there is a vast difference between the
foot of Southern lady and that of
Yankee lady of about the same general
build. Southern feet of both sexes are
narrow and bowed up in the middle,
giving them high instep. The Yankee
foot is wider and has more surface-fat-
footed. The foot of the Yankee lacks
the spring and suppleness of the South
ern, but it has more strength, and prob
ably better lasting qualities. The Yam
kee step is short and nervous, the South
ern long and languid. which makes a
wide difference in the gait of the people
of the two sections. There appears to
be great deal of character in feet,
which the measurers learn to read bv
long training and practice.
The authority quoted has had fifteen
years practice in a New York fancy
shoe shop, and ought to know. He has
measured adult females wearing CATERS
numbering from ones to mines and many
more ones than Fights. The majority of
those who wear ones are Southern and
Spanish ladies. The Jersey woman is
1oot-proud, and witlreason. The real
blue-bloodedJ Jersey woman and the blue
grass Kentucky belle are about on par
in the matter of small feet. Among the
customers Of that particular shoe shop are
two pretty sisters of Irish extraction,
one OF whom wears Fights and the other
nines-handsome feet, too, and so we'll
prop0rtioned that their size is not at all
conspicuous. They also wear gentle
mems kid gloves over white, dimpled
hands and pretty pink nails. The trades
people insist upon it that locality as
we'll as race has much to do with the
human build, especially at the founda-
tons,

Preserving Eggs for Cooking.

In !ite summer anu early autumn,
when fresh eggs are plentiful, gather
the requisite number for family use, and
place them on either end-lhe large end
is always preferable. There are many
methods of preserving eggs is state Of
comparative freshness, and there is lit
tie need OF doing without this desirable
diet II one does not raise the eggs, they
can be purchased reasonably in May or
June, and packed down or preserved.
Be sure that the eggs are fresh laid. and
have not been sat upon, even twenty
four hours. Many times, if eggs are
left in the nests, and a hen suddenly
takes a notion to sit, one day and night
will spoil the keeping qualities of the
eggs.
Eggs may be kept in good order for
six months, (and that period is reason
ably long enough ordinarily by dipping
them into warm tallow, and after they
are cool, packing close in sawdust, and
covering them with the sawdust, maxi
ing the package as nearly air tight as
possible, and placing it in dry, cool
place, being careful to remove before
cold weather sets in. The tallow should
be the hardest that can be had. The
eggs may be dipped in strong gum
water and dried, and then packed in the
same manner. The object is to exclude
the air. They will keep quite length
Of time if dipped into boiling water.
This kills the germ and coats the inner
shell. closing the pores. Eggs will keep
comparatively fresh if packed down in
dry salt late in the season. This is suf-
ficient for all culinary purposes for the
winter. Although for boiling or for
omelets there is nothing like a fresh laid
egg, the preserved one answers well for
every other purpose. l have often
heard a city lady say that she never
could make good custarQs or cake with
fresh laid country eggs, so accustom-
ed was she to the preserved or stale
article.
Where fowls are kept, there need
never be any lack of fresh eggs at any
time of The year. But there are many
city people who value fresh eggs and
cannot have them in the winter when
the retail price goes beyond their reach,
but might purchase fresh opes in sum-
mer, and by packing down at home,
have better article than can be pur-
chased in the winter season. For Tim.
ing eggs, q pickle is made of pure stone
lime, fine, clean salt, and pure water, in
the following proportions: Six to eight
quarts Of salt, sixty to sixty-fve gallons
of water, and one bushel of lime. The.
stronger the lime water, and the more
free from sediment, the better. Stake.
the lime with a portion Of the water;
then add the remainder of the water.
and the salt. Stir well three or four
times at intervals, and then let it stand
until well settled and cold. Either dip
or draw off the clear pickle into the cask
or vat intended to preserve the eggs.
This is on large scale, but may DO
proportional according to Judgment for
family use. - Country Gentleman.
