ine ingenuity Is the more apparent
when it is remembered that all sizes
and kinds of paper are used in prepar-
ing reports and other matters pertain
ing to congressional business. The or
iginals, when ordered to be printed, go
to the government printing Office, but
strict care is always taken that they are
returned. The printers marks are to
be seen on many of the papers.
For the past thirty years these vol
umes have been prepared by an old
gentleman who is now nearly 70 years
of age. He has q room in the base
ment of the capital set apart for his
own use. There he locks himself up
and gives receipt for the documents
which are sent to him. He then ar
ranges them in his books in regular Or
der. When he has finished volume
he turns it over to the proper official
and gets receipt. The volume then
goes to the place set apart for such
records.
One would not think that there would
be much inquiry for what is contained
in the dust-covered old books, but there
is. There is hardly a day but that
somebody wants to get copy of an Or
iginal document of years and years
ago. They are always accommodated.
The old gentleman who prepares the
original matter for preservation is but
seldom seen. One Of the gentlemen IN
charge of the iron corridors says that
he does not see the old man more than
two or three times year, when he ap-
pears to hand over the volumes he has
prepared. : Washington Critic.
Soothing syrups and Popular REM
edies.
Opium forms the basis of innumer-
able remedies and very effective reme-
dies, sold under titles altogether reas-
suring and misleading. Nearly all
soothing syrups and powders for ex-
ample--"mothers blessings" and in
fants' curses-are really opiates. These
are known or suspected by most we'll
. informed people. What is less gener-
ally known is that nine in ten of the
popular remedies for catarrh. bronchitis,
cough, cold, and asthma are also OPT
ates. So powerful indeed is the effect
of opium upon the lining membrane Of
the lungs and air passages, so difficult
is it to find an effective substitute, that
the efficacy, at least the certain and
rapid efficacy, of any specific remedy
for cold whose exact nature is not
known affords strong ground for sus-
pecting the presence Of opium. Many
chemists are culpably, almost crimi-
nally, reckless; and not a few culpably
ignorant in this matter. An experienced
man bought from fashionable West
End shop box of cough lozenges,
pleasant to the taste and relieving q
severe cough with wonderful rapidity.
Familiar with the influence of opium
on the stomach and spirits, he was sure
before he had sucked half-a-dozen of
the lozenges that he had taken a dose
powerful enough to affect his accus-
toned system, and strong enough to
poison a child. and do serious harm to
sensitive adult. Yet the lozenges
were sold without warning or indica-
tion of their character; few people
would have taken any special precau-
ton to keep them out of the way of
children, and the box, falling into the
hands of needless or disobedient
child. might have poisoned whole
nursery. National ,ReUieD.

may extend to Fleetwood park. When Mr..
Vanderbilt returns from it he lies down in
his library for a nap, which lasts until the
dinner hour. He arises refreshed and sits
down to his evening meal as much to enjoy
the conversation with his family, which is
an extremely pleasant one, as to partake of
the viands before him. Mr.. Vanderbilt
always eats sparingly and avoids liquid as
much as possible. He takes his coffee
sometimes after his dinner. Sometimes,
however he does net drink it at all.
MI. Vanderbilt is an extremely abstem-
ious man in every way. He never uses
liquor in any form. If he is in company
where he is compelled to take wine, he will
simply raise the glass to his lips. In the
first place, he has no taste for liquor. and in
the second place, his physical composition
will not admit of indulgence in any form.
On account of slight affection of the
muscles of his face, persons unfamiliar with
his habits might think that he allowed him
self to crafty taste for wine. 1t is not
so. When he requires beverage, he calls
for lemonade, and he likes to have the
lemon Juice fresh pressed from the fruit.
He used to be addicted to the use Of to-
bacco, but for thirty years has not touched
the weed. Mr.. Vanderbilt is extremely
careful of his health, and looks to his eating
as much as anything to keep it good.

''Since my boyhood." said Mr.. William

wholesome living. To my style of living
and regular habits I attribute my uniformly
good health. have my ills and aches like
other men but am free from spells of sick
ness. have tried to think if there was
one thing that suited my palate more than
another. [ do not believe there is. My ap-
petite, as rule, keeps so good that I can
eat one thing with quite as much relish
as another. I was brought up on a
farm, you know, and [ must confess an
honest liking for good roast beef and NUT
ton. do not like either too well done OF
too rare, for believe in either state thew
are indigestible. / want them brown. rich
and juicy. and with them I like to have
served potatoes, white and floury. Above
all desire my food prepared and served
plainly. Grease, spices and rich favored
condiments are not suited to me, and do
not believe they are to any person. L have
an idea ofmy own in this respect and am
convinced it is correct. 1t is that accustom-
ing ones self to spiced gravies and relishes
and other things that taste horribly at first
is simply the cultivation of a vitiated taste.
1 have observed the absence of clear com
plexions and bright, sparkling eyes in per-
sons accustomed to high living. The ROSY
color and clear eyes and buoyant spirits OF
persons who live plainly, but well withaI.
convinces me that the simple, bountiful
way of living is best"
Mr.. Vanderbilt talked of his mode of life
with as much interest as he ever talked of
money, stock or railroad. 1t is true that
Mr.. Vanderbilt lives in magnifcence, but
he lives sensibly. He calculates to retire AT
10 o'clock at night, and he rarely misses
going to bed at that time. He is called at
1880 in the morning and at $50 is at break
fast with his whole family. He usually
spends the morning at home. Sometimes
he goes out before lunch and sometimes moi
until after lunch. When the weather will
admit he goes out for drive in the after
noon. The drive may be through the park:
it may be to Maconabs Dam bridge. or il

LOCAL REASONS.
But there are local reasons which render
this form of improvement peculiarly
adapted to the wants of st. Paul and Min
neapolis. The natural features of the re-
gion within the limits of the two cities are
such as are rarely comprised within the
same area of any city. With the lakes and
mighty Mississippi no artifcially arranged
park could comprize such variety Of grand
and beautiful scenery, and the construction
of ornamental avenues is simply furnishing
means of access to the superb park which
stretches in every direction around Chi
cago was too late in laying out it's system
of boulevards, and though they skirt the
city they are in no place less than four
miles from business quarters. In Paris
the boulevards, interesting the city in va
rious directions, form the most desir-
able sites for public buildings and places
of amusement. They front at once upon
busy thoroughfare and public garden.
The effect upon stranger, of coming at
intervals upon one of these thoroughfares,
and riding beneath the refreshing clouds,
amid the gay scenes about conveys
stronger impression of imposing elegance
than any other form of civic characterization.
But the beauty they confer upon a
city is not to be compared with their sani-
tary value. They furnish too, such safe
guard against CONGREGATIONS as can be had
in no other way. The only building that
escaped the great Chicago fire was an old
wooden house which was located in one of
these small parks
Especial attention should be called to the
fact that everywhere between the two cities,
sp. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS,
these thoroughfares would become the line
OF constantly travel, having the
essential characteristics of park Mime
