HOW WOMEN 60 TO SLEEP.

There is an article going the
rounds entitled "IIow the Girls Go
to Sleep.v The manner in which
they 90 to sleep, according to the
article, can't hold a candle to the
way a married woman goes to sleep.
Instead of thinking what she
should have attended to before 60
ing to bed, she thinks of it after
ward. While she is revolving these
matters in her mind, and while
snugly tucked up in bed, the old
man is scratching his head in front
of the fire and wondering how he
will pay the next months rent
Suddenly she exclaims:
"James, did you lock the door :"
"yhich door :" says James.
"The cellar door," says she.
"No," says James.
"Well, you had better go down
and lock it, for l heard some one in
the back yard last night"
Accordingly James paddles down
the stairs and locks the door,
About the time James returns and
is going to bed she remarks:
"Did you shut the stair doOrt'
"No," says James.
"Well, if it IS not shut the cat
will get up into the chamber"
"Let her come up, then," says
James, ill-naturedly.
"D1y goodness, no" returns his
wife, "she'd suck the baby's
breath"
Then James paddles down stairs
again and steps on a tack, and
closes the stair door, and curses
the cat, and returns to the bedroom.
Just as he begins to climb into his
couch his wife observes:
81 forgot to bring up some water.
Suppose you bring up some in the
big TIM"
And so James, with a muttered
curse, goes down into the dark
kitchen and falls over a chair and
rasps all the tinware of the wall in
search of the big tin, and then
Jerks the stair door open and
hOwls:
"Where the deuce are the match
esl"
She gives him minute directions
where to find the matches, and
adds that she would rather go and
get the water herself than have
the whole neighborhood raised
about ii. After which James finds
the matches, prOcures the water,
and comes up stairs and plunges
into bed.
Presently his wife says "James,
let's have an understanding about
money matters. Now, next week
I've got to pay"
81 don't know what you'll have
to pay and don't care,' shouts
James, as he lurches around and
Jams his face against the wall, sail

Hereupon she begins to cry soft

falling into a gentle doze she
punches him in the ribs with hel
elbow and says:
"Dld you hear that scandal about

"WheIe ~ says James, sleeplIy

FIRE IN CHICAGO.
A Lodging House Burned-TwO Lives
LOst-FOur Fireman Injured.

CHICAGO, July 5.
FIRE started in Burcky & Miano's restau-
rant early this afternoon, and spread to the
upper building in an incredibly short time.
The four upper floors are occupied bv the
Benton Hotel, fitted up as cheap lodging
house. The upper floors were formerly used
as store rooms and were converted into hotel
apartments by frame partitions, making a fire
trap in which over 30 people were sleeping.
A young man named Chas. Speech of the
''Evangeline Co.. rushed up stairs and
aroused as many as he could bv pounding on
doors and shouting. He was very soon driven
out of the hotel by the smoke and flames.
Ten or fifteen persons were thus rescued.
There were many narrow escapes on the part
of these people, and many of them were more
or less burned. 1t was at first thought that
10 or Is persons had been burned to death,
but subsequent search revealed two dead
bodies. They were both men of middle age,
who had been stopping in the hunks. They
were both found on the floor in the middle of
room in the 5th story, and one was burned
beyond recognition; neither been identified
this afternoon. In fighting the flames four
firemen were badly hurt. The origin of the
fire is mystery, but is probably attributed
to the 4th of July celebration.

ton.
Replying to the statements made by Messrs
Hiscock, Cannon and AcComis to the effecl
that there was large increase in the ex
penditures for 1856 as compared with those
OF 1885, for tees of jurors and witnesses he
caused to be read a letter from Attorney
General Garland to Senator Allison. This
letter explained that the increase was caused
by the fact that the deficiencies OF 1885 were
carried over 70 1886, also that there was 8
large increase OF expenses owing to the pros.
ecusion of Polygamy Mormons under the
Edmunds act and on account of the prosecu-
tion of offences arising under the general
land laws. These were necessary and un'
fsrseen expenses and we ought not to take
exception to the increase of expenses on thi.
account. While there has been a trifling in.
crease of expenditures in the matter indi.
Gated yet there has been large decrease OF
expenditures during the fiscal year just
closed as compared with the previous fiscal
year.
long and at times acrimonious discussion
arose over the amendment offered by Mr..
Cannon of Illinois, appropriating So, 900 to
refund the taxes illegally collected from GER
tain railroad companies on account of the
alien bond and stockholders. The amend
ment was adopted.
The clause ratifying and confirming read
iustments of salaries of postmasters, hereto
fore made by the Postmaster General, pursu-
ant to act of March 3, 1888, WAS ruled out on
the point of order. and an amendment offered
by Mr.. Burnes of Mo-, striking out the entire
appropriation for readjustments, ($392 1894 g,
which was adopted.
Mr.. Gibson of West Va. caused something
OF sensation by charging that Messrs.
Townshend and Cannon, members of the ap-
preparation committee, had gone to the Senate
after the action of the House in striking the
names of certain House employees from the
legislative appropriation bill and procured
the reinsertion of the names by the Senate
committee. Both Mr.. Cannon aud Towns
hend admitted that they had requested the
Senate committee to insert in the bill the
names of two pages who had from a long ex-
perience become almost Indispensable and
they maintained that their course was justi-
fable.

and the House at p. M. adjourned
