In many g%ymnasiums pupils run to
s~pecialties. One will spend his time on
the parallel bars, another in running, a
few at the rowing machines. They soon
begin to neglect the light pulley-weights
OF the modern for the heavy work OF the
old regime. This is the greatest fault OF
the gymnasium.
A great many persons come to the gym
nasium TO be cured Of dyspepsia. They
are given a special course OF training.
In a few weeks they feel better.
In six months they feel 30 strong
hat they neglect daily exercise al
together; or, what is worse, neglect in
structions, and, by attempting the work
delegated to the strong and able-bodied,
break down altogether. Nervous men,
men with symptoms Of heart disease, find
quick results from proper work. But the
great mass OF the membership is of
young men and boys. Many OF them come
to build up a huge pair OF bicepts, and
neglect their vitals or sap the life OF their
system by requiring of it too much blood
for n particular development. The best
results are all attained by regular, light
exercise. Huge, bullying muscles are no
indication Of strength or endurance, The
1.-the, graceful body Of the all-around ath-
lete is incomparably the best.-Chicago

eURoETTe AT A COUNTY FAIR.

Among the Fat Porkers. Jersey Cows
and Cochin China Chickens-His Notes.
Phocion Howard takes to himself the
credit OF helping Bob Burdette in his first
reportorial assignment. They were both
in Peoria, and Bob had written one or
two things for the papers, but had never
had any regular work. The county fair
was being held, and The Transcript
wanted an extra man to do 1t, and Sol
was given the assignment. 1t was a
pretty big job for a green hand, but Bob
went at it In a conscientious way. He
poked the fat porkers, and punched the
Jersey COWS and Attorney calves; he ex-
amined the Cochin Chinas and sampled
the fruit and vegetables. Then he
strolled to the race-track and attempted
to master the situation there. All this
time his notes, hastily jotted down, were
accommodating, and by the time he was
half through the list OF prizes he had
scribbled over a ream of copy paper.
1t was very hot, and Bob sat down un-
der a tree and began to decipher his
memoranda. Tit more he looked at his
notes the more confused he became until
at the end Of an o he was unable to tell
whether Cochin Chinas were pigs or
ducks. He was about ready TO blubber
with vexation at the thought OF making a
botch of his first assignment when along
happened Phocion. "What on earth arc
you trying to do, Bobf" asked he. Bob ex-
planned. Let me see your notes" said
Phocion. Boil ruefully handed over a
great wad of hieroglyphics. Howard
looked at the notes a moment and then
ITO ribbons. Bob gave a howl of alarm,
but Howard quoted him, saying: leave
II to me. I'll show you how an old news
paper man does this fair. Let's have a
drink After they mad the drink they
left for the race-track and took in a couple
of heats.
All this time Bob was in trepidation
lest he should slip up IN his work, but
Phocion with the utmost sang froid as
sured him that it would be all right. He
led Bob around the entire fair, stopping
every few feet to discuss politics with a
politician or crops with a farmer. Now,
we will our work" he said at
length, as he entered the s~ecretary's office.
From that official he obtained a written
list OF all the entries and prizes, the result
OF the races, the number of people pres
emit, and asummary of the days Incidents,
together with some gossip. At n desk
Howard went through the secretary's
matter, edited 1t, wrote a little descrip-
and an introduction, and handed the
whole to the waiting Robert with the
remark: Don't let a little thing like a
county fair rattle you. n-Chicago News.

Gen. Butler las spent a great deal of
money on politics within the last few

Of his tells me that each OF his campaigns

WASHINGTON. Dec. I5.-Mr. Morrison,
of Illinois, offered a concurrent resolution,
providing for Il holiday recess from Dec.
%, until Jan. 5; laid over for one day
under the rules. Mr.. Morrison then call
ed up the report of the committee on
rules, which was presented yesterday, and
proposed a new code of rules which was
read at length. At his suggestion the
reading of the report itself was dispensed
with, and a general debate was opened by
Mr.. Morrison with a short explanation of
the proposed revision. There was moth
ing new, he said, in his proposition. He
had merely grouped such of the PROPOSE
tons as had been submitted to the house
from time to time as were believed to be
essential to a speedy organization of the
house, to the proper distribution of its
WORK and to a more conservative and
economical legislation. After touching
briefly on one or two Of the MINOR changes
proposed, he argued in support of the
distribution Of tho labors Of the appro.
priation committee.
Mr.. Randall followed Mr.. Morrison.
He said that the tendency of the work of
the committee on appropriations was to
Increase the public expenditures OF the
government. He instanced the river and
harbor bill, which had been increased
from an average of seven millions, when
in possession of the appropriations COM
mittee, to an average annual expenditure
of more than thirteen millions. Randall
read from President Arthur's message,
stating that a sufficient amount remained
from the appropriations of the previous
year to carry on all necessary works, and
yet congress had actually passed a bill for
IS, 900, 900.
Mr.. 0'Neil, Of Pennsylvania. inter
rupted to say that the people had not sus-
tanned President Arthur in that p%articu-
lar.
Mr.. Randall replied he could point out
where the people had defeated candidates
who voted for the bill.
Mr.. O'Neil said: Such was not the
case in Philadelphia, AS his Republican
colleagues, who had always ,l'.l for a
proper river and hArborapprop p,tion bill,
had been re elected to the hous4
Mr.. Randall suggested that lac had
always voted against the riv. ta4 harhor
bill, and he had been reiurne
Mr.. Hammond, Of Georsia. argued
against distributing the appropriation bills
and incidentally declared thar every al
tempt made BY the Democratic party to
revise the tariff had been H.. ed by a
Democratic victory at the polls. Nor

Laughter and applause. The Demo-
Gratis had just come into the ~asceudency
and were on trial. He was afraid TO try
this experiment
Mr.. Gibron, of West Virginia, favored
a distribution of the Appropriation bills.
Mr.. Morrison gave notice that he would
endeavor to close the general debate to-
morrow afternoon. and then the house
adjourned.

CURE o PILES

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense
of want of weight in the back, loins and
lower part OF the abdomen, causing the
patient to suppose he has some affection
Of the kidneys or neighboring organs. Al
times, symptoms ofindigestion are present
fatulency, uneasiness ofthe stomach, etc.
A moisture like perspiration, producing a
very d~isagrceable itching, after getting
warm, is a common attendant Blind,
bleeding and itching piles yield at once to
the application of DR.. Bosanko's Pile
Remedy, which acts directly on the parts
effected, absorbing the tumors, allaying
the intense itching, and effecting a per-
manent cure. Price so cents. Address

First SENATE L
GIVING a Penslon and Franking
privilege to Mrs Grant.

WASHINGTON. Dec. l5.-The chair
laid before the senate a letter from the
secretary Of war, with the report of the
chief of ordnance, showing tests Of iron
and steel during the last fiscal year; also
a letter from the same secretary ans
hitting, in compliance with a recent reso-
luton OF the senate, the report of Capt.
Briefly, United States engineers, on the
sea coast Notifications Of Europe.
Mr.. Edmunds, from the committee on
judiciary, reported favorably the bill to
relieve Gen. Alexander r. Lawton, Of
Georgia, of his political disabilities. He
asked for immediate consideration of the
bill. Mr.. Edmunds introduced a bill
granting a pension to Mrs. Julia d.
Grant, and another bill granting her the
franking privilege Mr.. Edmunds said
the bills were precisely in the form
adopted in similar cases heretofore. The
bills were then read three times and
passed.
Going to the calendar the senate took
up Mr.. Hoar's bill to provide for a pres
idential succession.
On the conclusion of Mr.. Hoar's re-
marks, the senate took up the bill to in.
crease to 5000 the salary Of United
States district judges, but after some de-
bate, it WAS laid over till tomorrow.
Mr.. Frye then called up the bill provid-
ing a code of joint rules for the senate and
house of representatives, and the senate
proceeded with its considerations.
A joint resolution introduced by Scna-
tor Jackson to-day proposes an amend
ment to the constitution of the United
States, providing that the president and
vice president shall hereafter be elected
for a term of six years and that they shall
be ineligible to reelection; and that the
vice president shall be ineligible to the
office of president after he shall have filed
the same in case of any vacancy therein.
On motion Of Mr.. Henderson the rules
were laid over till tomorrow, and the SEN
aue went into executive session, and when
the doors were reopened the senate ad-
journed.
