out Of Congress he would have saved his

Washington correspondent Of the Cincin.
natl Enquirer gives the itemizad account Of
the funeral expenses as returned by Ser
geant.at.Arms Leedom, Of Ohio, the "re.
former" who bossed the job. There are
aomo peculiar things abou. these items,
There were carriages and hearses until 1t
might have been supposed that even a
corme couldn't rest, and all at very still
price'. Besides the hearses there Is IN
item Of TRANSFER OF baggage and corpse at
Washington, $780," which, leads the in
quiring mind to ask what had become Of
the hearses. Eighteen tickets were bought
from Washington to Lawrence, kansas,
cost S632 70; lone ticket for corpse, $50 3d."
but It seems that only eleven tickets were
necessary to bring the party back, and tho
eleven cost $723 GO.

had lunch or It's equivalent at Wormley's
at a cost Of "s2O2 o." and then they were

provided them with the trappingu Of woe
to the extent Of 5000 worth Of silk sashea,

It must be said for this party and for the
accompanying sergeaut-at-Arms that it
does not appear by the record that they
drowned their grief in gin Gzz, Bourbon

champagne cocktail, as Congressional fu-
neral committees have dono before. The
whisky and the wine may be concealt d
under the newspapers or even more app1o-

Another member Of Congress is dead. But
the eashes and gloves and other articles

The Game Of Chess.

What prevents many, otherwise de-
sirous of learning chess, is Il the seeming
ly terrible bugbear, the acquiring a
knowledge of the moves. OF a veriety
a great mistake. An hours attention,
under a competent teacher, and the
stumbling block is removed, at once adj
hitting the student to witness thelntri-
CUES of rival courts, to put "his Maies-
ty" hors de combat or to defend the roy
al person from the assaults of the en-
emv-the Queens often at the post of
danger, ever directing the fight, with
the Church aiding the state in repelling
or engaging in the attack. 1t requires
but a beginning, and, once entered up
on with any degree of interest, chess is
very unlikely to be again east into oh
liYlon. 1t will beguile many a quiet
hour spent with IN agreeable companion,
or even when alone and apt to be en-
nuied OFF the expression is allowable) far
nor than to repay the trouble to I'M
lock its wonders. Then, beyord ques-
ton chess is an ~undoubted incentive to
the study of the everyday problems of
life and has frequently proved adj
vantageous in overcoming real out
and out difficulties. 1t inculcates
patience, demonstrates that perse-
verance is requisite to substantial re-
ward, and that it is essential ever to
be on guard against dangers, seen or un-
seen, as well as ready to improve a po-
sition. 1t shows the~..necesslty for one to
have a fixed purpose, gives in
genious instructions in affecting such

Time to Swear Of.

ST. Louis Post Dispatch.
"Ill match you for it." The sit" re-
ferred to in this sentence was a particu-
larly toothsome-looking dish of sweet
breads in cases, a la Refine Margot,
which a waiter had just deposited on
the table in the Southern hotel din
ing room, and the speaker was an
mond. A Post Dispatch reporter was
lunching with Mr.. Raymond, and the
waiter had by mistake brought one dish
of sw~eetbreads instead OF two. The
comedian had one hand in his pocket
and assumed an earnest expression and
attitude that would have brought down
the hodse. "By iingo, l forgotl' he
exclaimed. 81 have sworn off" Ray
monds ruling passion, as every
knows who knows him, is to match.
No matter where he is or under
what circumstances, he is ready
to match for anything from a punched
copper to a $50 gold piece. If he were
on his death bed he would match nick
els with the cold Boy" for his immortal
soul. "I1l tell you how 1 happened to
swear off. You know l am pretty
much of a hand at matchmaking, and
sometimes L get started and 1
know when to stop. Well, / was play
ing an engagement WON'T tell where
it was, because it was announced that l
was sick-and L was to appear for the
last time one night. / happened to
drop int o a friends room in the after
noon, and, before we knew it we were
matching for dollars. The company
didn't know where 1 was, and luck was
against me, and / was so deeply en-
gagged in the game that L forgot all
about the performance. 1t was
nearly daylight when 1 came to, and
perhaps there wasn't a racket at the
theatrel Why, it is a fact thatI had
matched away a weeks receipts and all
the money 1 had about me. 1t was

n DIE HOMESTEAD

From the Boston Transcript
Twas when the sunset fushes
Gilded the dear old home.
When t%wilight's solemn bushes
Babe holy memories come,
We fingered, fondly turning
Towa.d the spot we loved so well,
With sad and tender yearning,
To say Our last farewell
No mor for us the garden
And loved-wreathed rooms to roam;
The stranger there is warden
No, no, tbs not his hOmel
1t hath no memories bringing
For him joy kin TO pain;
For him no echoes ringing
Shall bring the loved again.
Sweet homel dear homel o'eriOwing
With precious memories!
Not life in all its going
Shall bring more blest than these.
A dear, bright picture ever,
As then, when sunset fell,
Youth gilded, thou forever
Wen love; sweet home, FAREWELL

Love the Legitimate Object of Ro-
nance.

An armful of nauseous. or silly, OF
vulgar novels is as great an affection as
a number of happy, and wholesome
stories are a delight. Love is the
Legitimate object of romance. We are
no longer young; but a novel without a
love story is an abomination to us.
Nevertheless, there are many other
things n life-a great many-besides
love, and he or she is a poor practi-
toner who can do nothing but ring the
changes upon that one episode of exist
ence, whether in the form of the strictly
virtuous but highly unreasonable
quarrelings which keep two lovers
apart for two volumes, the misunder-
standings which any reasonable person
could clear up with half a dozen words,
orin the more questionable shape of I'M
easy and hair breadth ~balancings upon
the edge of vice. We have a great
deal too much of this In contemporary
fiction. Our brethren of the weekly
press who lay down the law upon the
subject, and part of whose capital and
stock in trade, when they begin the ex-
ercise OF their profession, is a series of
short essays upon the female novelist,
would have us believe that she is the
sinner, and that the inherent vicious
ness which makes women desire to read
Greek and study medicine is at the
bottom of this degradation of the art

HEART BEATS.

DR.. N. B. Richardson, Of London,
the noted physician, says he was re-
Gently able to convey a considerable
amount Of conviction to an intelligent
scholar by a simple experiment. The
scholar was singing the praises of the
'ruddy bumper" and saying he could
not get through the day without it,
when DR.. Richardson said to him:
"Will you be good enough to fee
my pulse as stand here 2"
He did 80, said "Count it CAREFUL
what dose it say9"
"Your pulse says seventy-four."
then sat down in u chair and asked
him to count it again. He did so, and
said, "Your pulse has gone down to
seventy"
then lay down on the lounge and
said:
"Will you take it again ~
He replied, "Why it is only sixty
four; what an extraordinary thing"
/ then said. "When you lie down at
night that is the way nature gives your
heart rest. You know nothing about
it, but the beating organ is resting to
that extent and if you reckon it up it
is a great deal of rest, because in lying
down the heart is doing ten strokes
less minute. Multiply that by 60,
and it is 600; multiply it by s hours,
and within fraction it is 5000 strokes
different; and as the heart is throwing
6 ounces of blood at every stroke, it
makes difference of 10000 ounces of
lifting during the night.
"When l lie down at night without
any alcohol, that is the rest my heart
gets. But when you take your wine or
grog you do not allow that rest, for the
influence of alcohol is to increase the
number of strokes, and instead of get
ting this rest you put on something
like $4,000 extra strokes, and the re-
suit is you rise up very seedy and un-
fit for the next days work till you have
taken little more of the rudy
bumper which you say is the soul of
man here below.
