Real Kew England Beans.

Every day or two | see the Massachu-
sets members vending their way in
groups over to the Senate wing of the
Capitol about lunch time, writes Wash
ington correspondent. That queer un-
dertow which keeps the two houses so far
separate, though they sit within stones
throw of each other, also generally makes
the members patronizc their own restau-
rants. On inquiry it turned out that the
Massachusetts, men went over to the other
end to get some baked beans, which
Senator Frye's protegc, Landlord Page,
serves in regular New England style.
Those over at the House are
weak in their color and baked
into mass, while Page has a
knack of putting his beans upon the table
with the real Yankee red tint and each
bean perfect in its form. This is what
catches the New Englanders, who all pat
ronize Pages bean-pot during the week
But he tells me that he has made no mon
ey since he came to Washington, and OF
the contrary has actually lost some. HI
saws the Senate restaurant is not a paying
property, unless liquor is allowed to b
sold over the counter.

you ever heard it2
Bailey: No; read it.
Baelcy: Listen (reads): "a man en-
barrassed in his circumstances, and con
Quoting them imprudently, likes best to
continue in the dark; he will not gladly
reckon up the debtor entries he is eharg-
ed with. But, on the other hand, there
is nothing to prudent manager moro
pleasant than daily to set before himself
the sums of his growing fortune.n read

Tile Law of Larceny,

In the law of larceny there has been
curious cases for the editication of stu
dents and the escape of lucky thieves, says
the London Telegraph. A plain man
would think that taking and carrying
awav' are words easily interpreted; but
what is ''taking and carrying away!"
The cases decided are various, For in
stance. goods are tied to a string one end
of which was fastened to the bottom OF u
counter. A man having taken and car
ried them as far rs the string permitted,
if was decided that he had not ''taken
and carried away" the goods. Another
man. however, removed parcel from
one end of wagon to the other, and IT
was found that he had taken and car
ried away the goods. A thief, also, who
snatched diamond from a lady's ear
and dropped it in her hair, was found
guilty of technically taking and carry
ing away" There are other carlosities
of the law as to things which cannot be
stolen. Thus, it is not larceny to take
earth to make an embankment, nor to
take water unless it be stored in pipes.
Then. it would be larceny to steal wild
animal kept for food or profit, but not II
it were kept for curiosity or amusement
as in private menagcric. 1t has been
decided, for instance. that femets, even
when tame and salable, cannot bc sub
iccts of larceny. Mr. Justice Stephen, IN
his Digest, says: Living wild AMI
mails, in the enjoyment of their natural
liberty, whether they have escaped from
their confinement or not, are not capable
! of being stolen" and this would apply,
we suppose, to pet monkeys aud parrots
who have got loose. 1t even applies
oddly enought to game" Although h
NAV be an offence to pursue and kill
them. ii is not larceny to steal them
when living; but it is if they are dead.
for then they become the property OF tho
owner of soil on which they die. Their
seem very fine distinctions.

THE FAMILY PHYSICIAN.


lnfammations are more sfely and far
more agreeably subdued by the applica-
tion of warm water than Of cold.
Very excessive effort in a short space of
time, as in running or jumping rope,
ETC., has repeatedly caused instant death
by apoplexy of the lungs, the exercise
sending the blood there faster than it can
be forwarded to the heart, and faster
than it can be purified by the more in
frequent breathing on such occasions.
Water cannot satisfy the thirst which
attends cholera, dysentery, diarrhea and
some other forms of sease; in fact,
drinking cold water seems to increase the
thirst and induce other disagreeable
sensations; but this thirstwill be perfect
ly and pleasantly subdued by eating
comparatively small amount of ice, swal-
lowing it in as large pieces as practicable,
and as much as is wanted.
A professional athlete gives in the New
York SIM some good practical advice
upon the manner of going up stairs,
which may be of value to tired, over
heated women in the country, as we'll as
to the faster living inhabitants of cities.
He says, "there is knack in doing it
easily. The body should be held erect,
keeping the centre of gravity directly
above the muscles of the legs and loins.

erect"
