A Sadly PsrPiexed Congress0an.
Lewis Selye, who represented the
Rochester district Of New York In con-
gress, was an able man, but could not
speak extemporaneously. On one occa-
sion, when he was to read speech which
be had carefully prepared, he enlisted
the aid Of two friends. The duty Of the
one on his right Was to hand him his
manuscript page by page, and Of the one
ON his left to take the sheets when he
had finished. He started in well, and
with the earnestness Of sophomore slo-
Quence proceeded to deliver himself Of
his views on the momentuous question
under consideratiOn-and very sensihle
views they were.
Suddenly he paused, looked perplexed,
closely scanned the page he held. The
tariff must be-the tarif-why-it! I've
read that before" His friend ON the left
lad passed . page behind his hack to the
friend on his right, and he had begun
reading it for the second time. The Con-
gressional Record contained an expur-
gated report, with the profanity lift out;
but Mr.. Selye manipulated his own man.

Many Of the old railroads in the south
in existence in 1850 have been purchased
since by syndicates and vastly improved
and extended 50 as to develop new terri
tory or make new connections. Besides
this, however, many millions Of dollars
have been expended in building new roads
and . wonderful impetus has been given
TO the development Of the resources Of the
south. The increase in mileage alone in
hve years has been 9,S2S miles. The small
est increase Of any state has been in Mary
land-forty-two miies-and South Caro-
lima comes next In smallness with 136
miles. Virginia shows an increase Of 794
miles, which u exceeded by only two
states-Texas and Arkansaa.-Chicago

"Why, it was when first opened up

All Nasur. Lsas.ed Against Them.

All Nature Leagaed Against Them.
There is one place that Is even worse OF
than New York for want Of underground
telegraph conduits. In Brazil the air
lines have to contend both with the nat
ural decay, rapid a. that 10 in . tropical
country, and with the sudden fall Of the
temperature at sundown, that causes
wires and insulatOrs to break by contrac-
ton. All nature Is leagued against them.
The luxurious vegetation Of the tropics,
despite all attempts to keep 1t down,
causes no end Of trouble Birds build
their nests on the top of the poles, and
ants up their sides, while skunks and
armadillos undermine them and cause
their sudden fall. The ants nests have to
be chopped OF with axes, when old and
hard. Wasps build nests in the bell
shaped porcelain insulators, apes meddle
with the wires, and enormous swarms of
birds, flying by night, often wreck or
tangle them.
More mischievous than any Of these ID
Q huge spider that weaves its web between
the wires and interferes with the electric
currents. Worst Of all, the tremendous
tropical thuntierstorms smash wires,
poles, insulators, and all, almost daily in
the season, despite all precautions.-New
York Sun.

Paper and cork are said to be the best

Allahabad is the holy Place Of the Hin
docs, the city Of God. Its halo of sanctity
arises from its location at the union Of the
Jumna and the Ganges, the two sacred
streams Of India. The tongue Of sandy
land at the junction Is the hallowed spot,
and here myriads Of the devout resort,
like pilgrims to Jordan, to purify the soul
by bathing and prayer. This custom
takes the form of an annual festival, last
ing . month, when the lOwland at the con-
huence becomes vast encampment. Al
the HindOo religion works on cash basis,
these occasions are embraced for purposes
Of gain as well as of worship. Owners of
various portable shrines hold forth their
efficacy; Brahmins read the Shasters in
return for pious offerings; the makers Of
gods are present to sell their wares, and
groups Of Nautch girls find an abundant
harvest. Traders erect booth or bexars,
and the traffic in merchandise reminds
one of the great Russian fair Of Mini
Novgorod.
Every twelfth year, when Jupiter enters
certain sign Of the zodiac, occurs the
great Mela, as the pilgrimage Is called,
when the cOncourse sometimes reaches
millions. The last took place in 1889,
The holy mendicants always attend the
Mela in great Numbers, begging or exact
ing food and money from the masses.
Under the pretence Of sanctity they
almost dispense with clothing, al
low their hair and beard to grow wild,
and twist coil Of greasy rope about their
heads, or else wear nothing, while they
smear face, breast and limbs with ashes
from the funeral pyres, relieved with
daubs Of ochre and vermillion During
Mela they inflict q variety Of tortures upon
themselves. One, for example, will bury
himself in the ground until only his nose
and mouth are exposed, and feign to re-
main several days without eating
ting up in the night, like the knave he Is,
and stealing the material for Q hearty
meal.-BOston Herald.

Burial or A Congres.man.

BALTIMORE, July 1.-The funeral of the late Dr. William H. Cole, representative in Congress for the Third district of Maryland, occurred to-day. Short services were held at the residence of the brother-in law of the deceased, after which the body was taken to St. Vincent de Paurs church where his old pastor, Father Didier. officiated. The service over the cortege proceeded to Bonnie Brae cemetery, where the remains were deposited in 8 vault at 7:45 p. m. The pallbearers were Judge William I. Fisher, Dr. J. R. Thom. city register; John Robb, General B. A. Johnson, Parker I. Veazy and Colonel J. L. Clark A congressional committee con sisting of Hons. Barnes, Compton and Gib- son, of Maryland, Samuel Dibble, A. B. Irion, W. H. Wade and w. J. Stone attended the funeral.
 The aged mother of Congressman Cole was informed of her sons death on Friday last. The shock was too much for her feeble condition and it prostrated her. She never rallied and died at o'clock this after noon, couple of hours before the funeral of her son took place.
