Judge Kelley, the father of the
house, has the most remarkable appe-
tite in Congress. said the representa-
tive of one of the rural constituencies of
central New York in the bar-room of
the Girard house yesterday, where he
stood talking with a group of local
statesmen.
big feeder, eh?" queried one of the
party.
big fceder!' was the reply. "Well,
Ishould say so; but the strange thing
about his appetite is that it never real
ly shows its greatness except under the
influence of its owners eloquence. As
a general thing the Hon. William d.
does not eat much more than the aver
age healthy man, but when he makes a
speech in committee or before the house
it puts an edge upon his appetite which
takes q powerful amount of food to duh.
The more he talks the hungrier it APP
pears to make him. I've seen the old
gentleman walk into an important COM
mittee meeting directly after disposing
of a hearty luncheon and talk steadily
for an hour, after which he would at
once hurry to the restaurant and have
some more luncheon. Sometimes when
he had long speech to make the wait
ers would have orders to keep him sup
piled at intervals with such dainty tid-
bits as broiled chickens or pate de fol
gras sandwiches, and / once saw him
astonish even the gentlemen who had
grown used to his popularity by eating
two broiled chickens after making
tariff speech of an hour Talking APP
pears to have the same effect ON him
as a sharp walk on crisp winter
morning docs upon an ordinary man
or a three-milc trot before breakfast on
a prize-fghter training for mill. -

The Circular Saw.

"Have you bad experience 10 opera
ting circular saws?" inquired The pre-
prietor of saving and turning mill
of an applicant for employment.
Upon giving an affirmative answer
the man was engaged aud sent to
work. Half an hour later the en-
ployer bethougbt himself to see how
bis new hand was doing, and found
him gazing at bis right hand
How did you do that2" asked the
boss.
"How did | do it? Well, / was
wondering if that thing was moving"
be said pointing to the circular saw,
"and | put my finger down just like
that holy Moses there goes the
other onel" he shrieked, as the index
finger of bis left hand became vic-
tim to his illustration.
"Well are you satisfied that the
thing is alive?" asked the owner Of
the saw.

TO Clean Marble.

A person who has tried many WAYS
for accomplishing the above object,
says Farm and FireSide, thinks the
following plan, which he came across
IN some newspaper, quite the best:
Brush the dust of with Il piece of cha
mois, then apply with brush a good
coat of gum-arabic, about the consist
cncy Of thick mucilage; expose it to
the sun or wind to dry In short
time it will peel of; wash it with clean
water and clean cloth. If the first
application does not have the desired
effect, it should be tried again. An
other method is to rub the marble with
the following solution: One-quarter of
pound OF soft soap, one-quarter of
pound of whiting, one ounce of soda.
and a piece of blue-stone the size of a
walnut; rub it over the marble with
piece of flannel, and leave it on for
twenty-four hours; then wash it of with
clean water, and polish the marble with
a piece of flannel or an old piece of felt.
or take two parts of common soda. one
part of pumice stone, and one part of
finely powdered chalk, sift it through a
fine sieve and mix it with water, then
rub it well over the marble, then wash
the marble over with soap and water.
To take stains out of white marble,
take one ounce of oxgall, one gill of lye,
one and half tablcspoonsful of turpcn-
tine; mix and make into paste with
pipe-clay; put on the paste over the
stain and let it remain for several days.
To remove oil stains apply common clay
saturated with benzine. If the grease
has remained in long, the polish will be
injured, but the stain will be removed.
Iron mold or ink spots may be taken
out in the following manner: Take half
an ounce of butter of antimony, one
ounce of oxalic acid, and desolve them
in one pint of rain-water; add enough
flour to bring the mixture to proper
consistency. Lay it evenly on the stain
ed part with a brush, and after it has
remained for few days wash it off and
repeat the process if tho stain be not
wholly removed

NElllionaires al lunch.

A friend of Russell Sage, in the Hoff-
man house lobby this morning, was
laughing over some recently-printed
stories that the millionaire has fore
sworn sandwich luncheons, and was
now in the habit of investing % cents
at o'clock every day and treating him
self to substantial meal. "Why, as
matter of fact" he continued, Mr. Sage
lunches every day at the Western Union
building in company with half dozen
other millionaires. There is an elabor-
ate luncheon served in one Of the upper
rooms every day about 1890 o'clock.
Mr.. Gould sits at the head of the table,
with Sidney Dillon at his right hand
and Mr.. Sage at his left Mr. Field is
there if he isn't in Boston or in Europe.
as he now is There are usually twelve
at the table. The seats are apprortion-
ed to those present according to their
position, so that the table is graduated
from Jay Gould 1T the head to DIR. Nor

about Mr.. Sage waiting for the scent
hours on the elevated road Why, he

There are dozen or so of these in Wan

TIE RIVER DAMNED UP.
No Water Flows Past the Obstruction
for Ten Hours.

From 6 o'clock yesterday morning
until 4 o'clock Yesterday afternoon
the channel of Wood River between
Bellevue and Broadford was entirely
dry, and men crossed the river-bed
without getting as much as the soles
of their boots wet. Shortly after 4
o'clock a small stream of water be
gan to flow, which increased to the us
ual volume by 6 clock. The river had
been damned up by a slide from
Della Mountain, and it took the water
all day to get through the snow. 1t
must have been a monster slide tina,
could so effectually dam up such a
large and swift stream as Wood
River.
