The Sad Result OF Military Dudes AMI

Some months ago q Washington

was very much pleased with his present.
.'What beautiful little animal. he is,
Miss Blank. just like you! What lovely
brown eyes he has, just like you! And
such little white paws. just like you!''
Miss Blank laughed and said:-
''Just like you, would be good name
for him. Suppose you call him just

Not long afterwards. General Jinks,
who is very much of martinez,
called at the quarters of Captain Smith.

much. and asked: 'What do you call

The Presidency of the Senate.

WASHINGTON, d. c., December D.
The absence of so many Congressmeh,
who have gone to indianapolis to attend
Mr.. Hendricks funeral, causes lull in
the discussion about the selection of a
President of the Senate. The Demo-
cratic Senators will meet in caucus on
Saturday night, when it is supposed
they will decide to nominate Sem
ator Harris, of Tennessee, for Presi-
dent pro TEN. The Republican
Senators are to meet Friday evening, but
who will be their choice is as much 4
matter of doubt as ever, although the im-
preston seems to be growing that the
outcome will be the selection of Senator
Edmunds for President pro tenn.
Senator Cockrcll, of Missouri, expresses
the opinion that Senator Logan could be
chosen the President of the Senate be-
fore he was sworn in and the Ferry
precedent in 1877, is taken for the
ground that he could be sworn in before
an election and then chosen. 1t Is
said that the following Senators
have already signifed their intention of
voting for Logan: Allison and Wilson.
of Iowa; Cullom, of Illinois; Sawyer, of
Wisconsin; Conger, of Michigan; Plumb,
Of Kansas, and Van Wyck, OF Nebraska.

A Valuable Historical Document.

Among the historical letters and
autographs now exhibited in the Kings
Library at the British Museum there is
letter of Edward VI. to the Bishops
in confirmation of the use of the Book
of Common Prayer, certain evil-dis-
posed persons "syns the apprehension
of the Duke of Somerset having
'.noysed and bruted abrOde that they
shoulde have agayne their Olde Laten
service. their cOnioured bread, and
water, with such like wayne and super
sticious ceremonies, as though the set
ting forth of the said bOoke had been
the onelye acte of the afOrenamed
Duke" The letter, which is dated 2jth
December. 1549, gives command to the
Bishops to collect all books of service
the keeping whereof 'should be lctte
to the using of the said BOOkc of Com
mon Prayers" and to "deface and
abolish" them. Further. they are to
punish all forward and obstinate per-
sons who ''do refuse to pave towardes
the FINDING of bread and wyne for the
holye Communion according to the
ordre prescribed in the said bOOke."

GLUE SUNLIGHT.

An Expert voWs That the Orb of nay Il
Beautifully Blse.
Prof. C. P. Langley, of the Allegheny
Observatory, has returned to Pitts
burgh from Europe. He is making re-
searches as to solar heat and spots up
on the sun for the Government. The
greater part of his trip was spent at
the various observatOries in England
and France. my observations have
convinced me-" said Prof. Langley,
''that we have a mistaken conception
of the color of sunlight. Many sup
pose it to be white, while in reality it
is blue. The delusion is owing to our
senses, because we have never been
able to see the true color of the sun.
Suppose a man who had lived from in
fancy ander the roof of a cavern,
where the light outside is inferred only
by its shadows, was brought for the
first time into the full splendors of the
sun, what would be his conception of
the color? If that cave had been lit
by sunshine coming through reddish
glass in the roof would the perpetual
dweller ever have had an idea but that
the sun was red? How is he to know
the glass is colored if he has never had
anything in his life to compare it with?
How can he have any idea but that this
is the sum of all the suns radiation?
corresponding to our idea Of white or
colorless light. VIII not the habit of
his life confirm his idea that the sun is
red, and will he not think there is no
color in the glass SO long as he can not
60 outside to seeP Habit is equally
strong with us whether we dwell in a
cave or under the sky. All men, edu-
Gated or ignorant, appear to have the
evidence in their senses that the air is
colorless and that pure sunlight is
white: SO that if l venture to show
that the sun is blue and that the air re-
ally acts like an orange-colored veil or
sieve, which picks out the blue and
leaves the white, l do SO in the conf
dence that am able to prove the as
sertion, as it has been study of mine
for number of years. do not mean
to say that the original sunlight is a
pure monochromatic blue BY any
means. but that, though its rays con-
tain red, orange, blue, and all the
other spectral colors, the blue, the vi
olet and the allied tints were original
ly there in disproportionate amounts"

BALTIMORE, MD., December John
Perkins, of Louisiana, age six'y-six, a
noted ex-Confederate, died at the Albion
Hotel last night. He was born in NMchez,
Miss, and was graduated from Yale Col
lcSe in the same class with William II.
Evarts. He was also a law graduate Of
Harvard. Before the war he represented
his district in Louisiana in Congress for
several terms. When the war broke out
he cast his fortunes with the South, and
represented his State in the Confederate
Congress. Upon the close of the war. he
went to Mexico and was with Emperor
Maximilian, upon the death of whom he
went 10 Europe and travelled extensively.
A price was set upon his head
by the United States Govern
ment. He returned to this
country in 1873. His widow is daugh-
ter Of the late Judge May, of Petersburg,
Va. Il is related of Mr.. Perkins that IN
the war, while his plantation was in the
possession CT Federal troops, he with
his own hacd set fire to his own
nome, e,i6 also to 90, ,0J0 bales of cotton
rather than see them fall into the hands
OF the enemy.

ELEVATOR ETIQUETTE.
A Few Hints for Persons Contemplating

A Few Hints for Persons Contemplating
Ride on Passenger Elevator.
When the elevator is at the lowest
floor. before getting on, always ask the
boy if he is going up. Yhis will please
him. because he is student of human
nature, and likes to see how big a fool a
man can make of himself. The rule
can be reversed at the top floor. When
you find him there ask him if he is go.
ing down.
Never tell at what floor you wish tc
get of. He prefers to guess at it; and
would feel hurt if you did not let him
carry You to the roof when you want q
room on the first floor.
When he has carried you farther up thar
you wish to 60. always get angry and
call him hard names. He will appre.
ciate this. OF course it is his fault tha,
you did not tell him where you were GO
ing.
A great source of amusement with ladies
is standing in the entrance blocking ur
the passage way while carrying on an
animated conversation with some friend.
The best time to do this is when some
one on some other floor is ringing like
mad. because the boy can not 60 up un.
til you either get on or of, and. OF
course, he would rather listen to you
than answer the summons.
One of the main things to bear in
mind is that the elevator was made for
you and the boy hired to wait on you.
If he is not waiting for you when
ever You appear. he is neglecting his
duty, and should be severely repri.
manded.
Be unreasonable in every thing. This
Pleases him more than anything else
