SET IN HIS GLORY.

1t is told that Col. Alexander, who
was waiting in Washington in order
to strike at Tom Oehiltree without
being stopped by Ochiltree's" priv
ilege as member of. the
House, went home disguised because
Ochiltree got out of town so quietly as
soon as Congress adjourned that no
one knew it. Said the warlike Colo
mel: Before Ochiltree is entirely for
gotten want to tell two things about
him. One is story told by himself.
1t runs thus: One of my constituents
came up the other day to see me. He
was hard-isted countryman of some
political Importance. and laid myself
out to entertain him. 1 took him to
Chamberlin's l took him to Weick-
er's. fed him on canvas-back ducks
and champagne at fabulous cost, and
drove him all over this part of the
country In expensive hired rigs. He
took it all as matter of course.
Ducks and cider and conveyances were
cheap where he came from, and he
thought was only paying proper at
tention to him. He never offered TO
divide expenses with me until the
last day of his visit. He had been at
the capitol with me. 1 had about
made up my mind not to spend much
more money on him, so, when he came

In the marke-places of several

women bring in for sale trays, cover
ed with living ants, each about as
big and round as a large white cur

honey or grape sugar, much appre-
ciated by the ingenious Mexican
youth as an excellent substitute for
coffee They hold the ant by its
head and suck out the honey, with
which its back parts are greatly dis
tended, aud throw away the empty
body. Women buy the ants by the
quart, press out the honey through

a sweet intoxicaut that greatly en-

The Hair.

Prof. Wilson, of SEngland, is high
authority on the hair. He condemns
washing it, and advises instead, thor
ough brushing. This promotes cir
culatiOn, removes scurf, and is in all
respects better than water.
Cutting the hair does not, as COM
monty thought, promote its growth,
Most CT the specifics recommended
for badness, not excepting petroleum,
are mere stimulants and are seldom
OF never permanently successful
Some of these give rise to congestion
of the scalp. When stimulant is de.
sirable, ammonia is the best. It is
safe.
For falling out of the hair, DR.. Will
son prescribes lotion composed of
water of ammonia, almond oil and
chloroform, one part each, diluted
with five parts alcohol, or spirits of
rosemary, the whole made fragrant
with drachm of oil of lemon. Dab
it on the skin, after thorough fric-
Jion with the hair-brush. 1t may be
used sparingly or abundantly, daily
or otherwise.
For a cooling lotion, one made
of two draohms of borax and glycer-
inc to eight ounces CT distilled water
is effective, allayiDg dryness, subduing
irritability and removing scurf,
Both badness and grayness de-
pend on defective powers of the
scalp-skin and are to be treated alike.
What is needed is moderate stimula-
ton, without any irritation. The fol-
lowing is good; rub into the bare

If introducing bills is an evidence
of hard work the Texas Legislature
takes the cake. Over 700 bills have
been introduced including resolutions,
and only about twenty have become
laws. When the solons are not
otherwise engaged they recommend
each other for federal appointments

1t begins to look as though Demo-

favorites with the Senators and
Congressman, and so will be given
the cold shoulder without condiment
or sauce. Editors make and unmake
politicians as easily as a child does
mud pies.

Ancient i'ipes In Ireland.
Philadelphia Press.


Small tobacco pipes of an ancient
form are frequently found in Ireland
on digging or blowing up the groud,
particularly in the vicinity CT those
circular intrenchments called Danish
forts, which were most probably the
villages or settlements of the native
Irish. In the first volume of the
"Anthologia Bibernlca' there is a
print of one which was found at
Banaockstown, County Kildare, stick
ing between the teeth of a human
skull, and it is accompanied by a pa
per which goes to prove that the
Northern nations of Europe were
acquainted with tobacco, or an herb
of similar properties, and that they
smoked it through small tubes-of
course, long before the existence of
America was known. The argu-
ments in favor of the antiquity of
smoking receive additional support
from the discovery of several small
clay pipes in the hull of ship found
some years since, when excavating at
Dantzig.

JUSTICE calls for the most searching
investigation as to the murder of DR..
Stovall. His assassination was one of
the foulest acts that ever occurred in
any community in any country. A
peaceable. unoffending man, on good
terms with all who knew him, shot
down on the highway at night, while
visiting the sick, murdered with :
out warning, having given offense
to no man, is chapter in the history
of crime in Texas which has hardly a
parallel. There are men in our midst
who murder in cold blood for the love
of it. The lives of peaceable, good
citizens are in the hands of cold
blooded assassins. Jealousy or preJu-
dice, even worse, no cause what
ever, lead to the taking of
life without warning. Popular
dignity should rise in its
might, in this instance, and vindicate
the law. These men who murdered
DR.. Stovan are with us-here in Tray
is County, under the very ewes of the
capital. They must be brought to he
bar Of justice and taken thence to the
seaffold.

this morning, the appointment of the
n W Illinois Senator falls into the
hands of the Governor, it may indi-
cate bargain whose terms do not

THE women have got at it, as ap-
pears from the shooting of Miss Ada
Beard, at Louisville, KY, by Miss
Fannie Bender, on account OF jealousy
When young ladies like these get to
shooting and numbering each other,
we may well ask whittier are we drift
ing? Is not the lack of discipline in
the school and the family, the loose
reins held over the children
of the present day, compared
to the strict discipline enforced by our
grandparents il old time, having it's
effect? Is not this looseness, and free
dom from restraint, undermining the
very foundations of modern society |?
Had Miss Ada Beard and Miss Fannie
Bender been brought up under the
same strict maternal discipline as their
grand mothers, in an age when real
virtue and modesty were the rule, the
Louisville tragedy might never have
occurred.

DURING the campaign and immedi
ately afterward in the Union League
Club of New York it was insisted that
Republicanism consisted in supporting
Blaine and Logan, and it was refused
to admit to membership any one who
swung away into an Independent posi-
ton. Quite a number of "mug-
wumps" were members of the Cub,
but they were in a minority, and
could not dictate the clubs policy.
But now that excitement has died
down, party spirit has relaxed and the
club is disposed to greater liberality in
its creed. On motion of Mr.. Theo-
dore Roosevelt, it was resolved that
sit is unadvisable for the committee
on admissions to question candidates
for admission how they voted at the
last Presidential election
SECRETARY BAYARD has notified
the President of the Central and South
American Cable Telegraph Company

are to receive protection

EX-SECERETARY WINDOW Is In IA
yer of the double monetary standard;
and while he does not favor contin-
ued coinageof silver,he does not think
such coinage will result in any dis
turbances in the monetaryIsystem, I'm.
less something occurs to cause an ad-
vance in gold, in which case it would
be boarded and would command
premium over silver. while nothing
injurious may result from the failure
of Congress to suspend the coinage of
silver says Mr.. Window, "the pres
emit condition is not safe and ought, 1
think, to be changed. 1 believe this
country requires the double standard,
but with the silver dollar, containing
enough silver to make it worth gold
dollar, then it would be immaterial
how much was coined, and there might
be free coinage. The inconvenience
of silver would be overcome by issu-
ing certificates" The Ex-Secretary
Of the Treasury is regarded as first
class authority on monetary ques-
tions.

THE civil service reform views Of
Mr.. higgins, are not quite con-
ventional, but very decided. He
had just been looking over the civil
service rules when called upon by a
newspaper reporter, but said he was
not yet perfectly familiar with them.
He said. however, that he did not
think they covered every branch OF
the question. Taking a newspaper
clipping from his drawer, which gave
an account of some collector of Gus
toms who hauled the United States
flag off the custom house on the 4th of
March to show his contempt for the
new President, he added: "Do you
think he ought to stay? No. Well, 1
don't see anything in that book to
cover the case" Speaking further on
the subject, In a jocular sort of way,
he said that hehad something else be-
sides the civil service law to occupy
his attention. He had to think more
of economy and the reduction Of the
department to business footing.
