bers of Congress is constantly iucreas-
ing. 1t bids fair to reach such proper
tIons that the people will come to pre-
fer an average living Congressman with
all his faculty for doing mischief to .
dead one and bis bills.
This cost varies according TO States.
While an Indiana ststesman's obsequies
cost 81 500, those of an Ohio man on

ETY. appears to be the most expensive,

silk sashes. $3.50 for meals of attend
ing colleagues, S3S for Apollinaris wa

besides 1926 for funeral caskst.
1t il no doubt proper to give the av-
ersge living Congressman FIVE times as
much money As be could earn in bis

A Fancy Farm.

III man becomes a fancy farmer
he MAJ obtain health. recrssssss'is, s-sae
lots Of simple pleasure, if he is fond ol
country life, but his pecuniary in
come will resemble that described in The
following sketch drawn by the Val
Street NeUS:
"A Baltimore man who bought him
a farm two or three years ago was re-
Gently approached by man who had
some money to invest, and who ask
Cd
Can l buy farm for fifteen thou
sand dollars? ?"
"Tes about that figure"
"And I'll want to lay out about ten
thousand dollars in improvements, l
presume?"
"Yes, fully that"
"And | can invest another ten thou
sand dollars in blooded stock?'
81 think you can"
"And five thousand more in grading,
filing up, creating fish-ponds, and So
forth ?"
"Well you may get through with
that sum-"
That's forty thousand dollars; and
now let's figure the income"
"Oh, you don't need pencil or pa
per-" said the victim, as a shadow of
sorrow darkened his face "The in
come will be about three dollars for
turnips, two dollars for potatoes, five
or six for corn, and a calf or two at
three dollars a head. To save time
call it twenty-five dollars I'll see you
again in a day or two. Maybe I've
forgotten something which will be a
dollar more Morning to you"

Drinking While Eating.

Nature never intended for people to
wash down their food while eating
says medical paper. She has wisely
placed salivary glands in various plac.
es IN our mouths; they secrete fluid
for the moistening, besides a chemical
action of the food after mastication
This gets the food in a suitable condi-
ton for swallowing. Drinking eyery
few minutes while eating prevents
the usual flow Of saliva; also it washes
it down before it can have chemical
action on certain portions of the food
One OF the most pernicious habits Ia
health is drinking several tumblers of
water while eating; better drink warm
drinks The stomach will not digest
one particle of food when il has a tenn.
perature below 100 degrees F Fahrenheit;
neither will it digest one atom of food
until all the fluid is first obsorbed. No
healthy person should drink more than
half-pint of some mild fluid while
taking food, and dyspeptics should not
drink a drop while eating, nor for
three or four hours after.

Oh, once l was thin as a rail,

While the fellows would laugh

An Indian as a Mechanic.

One little anecdote of Red Jacket
related by Judge Sheldon at the meet
ing of the Buffalo historical society
will be found interesting: "There was
once" said the Judge, ga blacksmith's
shop on the corner where the postoflice
now stands, kept by man named
Reese, He was very fine workman,
a real artist in his line. One day Red
Jacket came into the shop with his in
terpreter-he would never speak
English, you know. Well, he wanted
a new hatchet or tomahawk made
They had some talk, but Reese finally
said he would make the hatchet for him
and told him to come in two weeks for
it, When the time was up Red Jacket
came for his hatchet. 1t was a fine
piece of workmanship, too. He went
off, but returned in day or two with
the hatchet. 1t didn't suit him. OF
course, Reese was mad, but he told Red
Jacket if he would make a model of
maple wood of just such tOmahawk
as he wanted he would make it for
him. So Red Jacket made his model
and brought it to Reese. who told him
to come after it in a week. Red Jack
ct came in week, with his interpreter,
as usual. Reese had told several peo-
pie, and several were in the shop when
Red Jacket came in. Reese handed
him the hatchet. Red jacket looked
at it all over, flung it across the room,
grunted Ugh and went off mad as
thunder He had forgotten to make
an eye in his model, and Reese made
the hatchet without an eye"
