CATCHING THE SPEAKERS EYE.

The origin of this expression, which Is
frequently seen in reports of Legislative de-
bates is as follows: The celebrated assem-
bly, known es the Long Parliament, which
met for the first time at Westminster on the
Sd of November, 1910, commenced its pro.
ceedings at in the morning, but after some
time the attendance of members being found
slack aud irregular, sundry devices were re.
sorted TO with view OF counteracting
movement which gave too much favor TO
early risers. At one time roll was called,
and at another it was ordered that whoever
did not come Mt 3 o'clock and be at prayers
should pay fine OF Ia. On the first morn
ing after this order was nads there was an
excellent attendance. The House was full,
but prayers could not BIO said. Mr.. Speaker
himself was not there. At 8:45 o'clock in
he walked. Prayer being over, Sir Harry
Midway congratulated the House upon the
good effect of the order made on the pre-
vio,u day, and said to the Speaker that "he
did hope hereafter that he would come in
tiue;" which made the Speaker throw
down twclvepence upon the table" Other
members coming in aficrward paid their
respective shillinss to the Sergeant, and il
was not long before hardness was entirely
broken up This ruls worked 10 well that
another Was adopted which proved equally
successful, and has remained down to the
present day. On the 18th of November, in
the same year, there was long dispute as
TO who should speak. Many members stood
up at tho time, each claiming precedence
and each backed up by his friends. The
confusion became intolerable. The passing

THE PARADISE OF TEE YANKEE"

OF the strength and cheerful progress OF
the middle class of Southern society, which
in most places has certainly and naturally
taken the lead in developing the resources
of the .ountry, the beat illustration is the
City OF Atlanta. There is not believed TO be
in the city person of age who was born
there. True, twenty years ago Atlanta was
only village but II is strange that the
whole present city should be an importa-
ton. There are men there from every
State, and large number Of successful men
from nearly all the Eastern and Northern
States. Il Is the Southern paradise of the
Yankee" The cosmopolitan bearing that
the people have, their energy and aggres-
siveness are anti Southern as strongly as the
quiet people of Nashville are Southern.
Yet each city enjoys tho same kind of pros
pefity The most successful men in Allan
lathe men who have given the city its
characteristics and made 1t prosperous-are
Of the middle class Of Southern writss.--

MISCELLANY.
AN ODD LITTLE INDUSTRY.
How the Oil of Wintergreen IL Distilled In
the Forests of Pennsylvania.

thG Forests oil PennSNIEnula.
The manufacture of the oil of wintergreen
has some interesting features--in fact, MOTH
ing from a shoe peg to locomotive is with
out details of more or less interest to all
readers. Just at this time the essence OF
wintergreen is very high-as high as three
dollars q pound. The oil of wintergreen
comes chiefly from New York State and
from Pennsylvania, where the wintergreen
vine and birch trees grow in abundance.
Wintergreen is plant common in nearly al
parts of the country, but not in every part
do the inhabitants thereof make the oil OF
wintergreen. The makers of wintergreen
essence are under the surveillance of the
government.
The oil is made from wintergreen when
wintergreen is abundant If il is not plenty,
birch is used. The plant of an oil-maker
consists of a furnace made of rough stones,
boiler, tin pipe, a trough, barrel and q
running brook. The tin pipe leads from
the top of the boiler through the water in
the trough to barrel. Under the end of
the pipe is placed barrel aud on the end of
the pipe in the barrel is hung q glass jar.
The boiler is filed with water and birch
bark and viniergreen twigs. Are is built,
the steam is forced through the tin pipe,
and is condensed by the pipes passing
through the water in the trough. The oil
of wintergreen and the water fall into the
glass jar, but the oil being heavier than the
water, goes TO the bottom of the jar, while
the water runs over into the barrel and
is used again.
The business is carried on in certain sea-
sons both day and night, as the pot must be
kept boiling. The men who work ut this
business make their homes during the sea-
son in the forest or field wherever the birch
ur wintergreen is to be found They enjoy
an all-season picnic unless the Internal REV.
enue Collector drops down y upon them,
"a he has done upon many. and collects

.us lIo finds. 1t Is supposed that some of
the rude affairs for condensing, which the
government calls stills are so concealed in
the forest that the collector does not find
them. The manufacturers dispose of it (the
oily to apothecaries for about two dollars
pound, who, after djlutiug with alcohol
sell it TO confeotioners and others at the US

TIE GREAT SEAL OF TIE UNITED .SrArEs
The great seal Of the United States was
bred and reared by the Colonial Congress,
more than 100 years ago. 1t was discover.
ed long before Alaska was annexed, and
therefore is genuine, original American
seal This is as it shonld be. But 1t seems
that certain, or uncertain, uneasy gentle
men in Washington have discovered that ths
great National seal Is incorrect in regard to
heraldry. The seal rampant should be
couchant and the gules are lop-sided and the
bend dor is askew. They want to have il
corrected and are going to bring the subject
to the attention of Congress. Those women
who are dissatisfied with their sealskin
jacques may want some alterations made in
the great National seal, but everybody else
win try and remain satisfied - Detroit Free
