the Administration.
The gale ries were uncomiortaoly crowd

floor of the chamber was occupied by those
entitled TO admission. A large number Of
members of the House of Representatives
came over. and the space Immediately in
the rear of the desks on the Democratic side
was filed with temporary seats provided Tor
the occasion. Among the Representatives
were Snyder, Wilson and God, of West Nir-
giuia. SNYDER occupied seat Immediately
behind where Mr.. Keuna stood and in the
midst of the Senators. Wilson occupied a
more modest position ON the lounge near
the cloak room door Goa stood ON ,hc Re
publican side with Malone, OF Virginia
and listened atteutiyely to the speech Com
missioner Joe Miller and Captain Hassier
both occupied seats in the reserved gallery
and were accompanied by a num0erof West
Virginia friends. Frank Waterman, SEN
ator Camdeu's private secretary, arrived
early and almost filled up the front row on
the Democratic side with string of pretty
young ladies, while Frank awaited himself
of his privilege by securing seat ON the
/ floor over among the Republicans. Every
| Democratic Senator i'm the city was present
and each occupied his seat. The pew re-
served for the Presidents household was
occupied by three ladies and one gentleman
at present guests at the White House.

gard the title as not good enough for them.
They want to be known as ladies. Why, it is
difficult to tell.
Members of the gentler sex are respected
for what they are. As a whole they are de
ferred to, and individually they arc almost
certain of courteous treatment from men.
The assumption of the title ~lady" can in no
sense strengthen the claim thoy have and
which is generally acknowledged. In fact, it
often seems undignified and inappropriate.

Don't Blind the Babies,

Has it ever occurred to those who purchase
carriages for their babies and who make it a
point to select the brightest colors they can
find for the screen that is interposed between
the eyes of the child and the sun, that they
are liable to do irreparable injury to the
vision of the little one: An infant generally
lies on its back, its eyes, OF course, upturned
toward the bright covering above it, its gaze
being moro intense the brighter the covering
and the more direct the rays of the sun upon
it. Nothing but injury can result from such
thouGhtless exposure. Any experienced
nurse says there cannot he doubt as to the
injurious effects of these bright so-called
shields upon the tender eyes of children
Parents who are wise will select the darker
and denser shades, even Though they may not
be as handsome or snowy in their eyes as
some of those which are more fashionable

Decorating Nursery Walls.

An ingenious way of decorating nursery
walls and which gave eminent satisfaction to
the children was devised by Il thoughtful
mother She made panels of unblcached cot
ton yard long by eighteen inches in width
and mounted them upon tailor's paper, finish
ing them upon round sticks at either end On
these panels she pasted colored pictures, or
prints which she painted, and boriered the
panels with gold paper. These were hung up
about the room and changed from time to
time. Whenever it was possible verses or
descriptive texts We're appended. The
children were devoted TO their panels and
cften asked for n special selection To be hung.
As there was a Goodly number of these deco
rations, the changes could be made as fire.
