The Reporter of the House.

The chief reporter of the house is John
J. McElhone, and he is almost as old in
his service here as Murphy. He has the
more difficult position, | judge, Of the
two, for the house is always in an uproar
and half dozen members often speak at
the same time. Just now, during the
tariff discussion. the air is filed with a
confusion like that of Babel, and two or
or three reporters are required to keep
things in order. McElhone dates back to
1S49, and he reported the fuss between
Senators Benton and Foote, in which
Foote drew his pistol and Benton wanted
to get at Foote. Benton, in the dispute
which afterward arose over the occur
renee, said he was willing to base his case
on the accuracy Of the notes of Master
McElhone
McElhone has a curious way Of work
ing. He pays no attention to the me-
chanical part of his work. His system is
the Pitman system Of the simplest form.
He makes it point to understand the
speakers he is reporting, and he keeps up
with their thought, criticising every SEN
tence, and his hands follow his brains
like bits Of machinery He writes as fast
as he thinks, and he will never be at q
loss until he finds man who can think
faster than he can. 1t is needless to say
that he has not, up to this time, ever
been stumped.-Frank G. Carpenters

The Pleasures Of Day Dreaming.

Reverie is natural condition, so COM
mon to children that they are hardly able
to distinguish between the reports from
the external world and the images pre-
sented by their Imagination. But revere
is common experience Of the human race
in all stages of development. 1t differs
from abstraction in the fact that the
latter is the intense pursuit OF q tram or
reasoning or observation, which absorbs
the mind to such an extent That there IS
no attention left for the reports OF the
senses. Hence the abstracted man neither
looks nor listens, and noise or an IN
pulse, far greater than would suffice to
awaken the same man if asleep. may be
insufficient to divert him from the train
of thought which he pursues.
Revere is literally day dreaming. 1t is
not reasoning The image making faculty
is set free and it runs on. The judgment
is scarcely attentive, hardly conscious.
and the tear may come into the eye or the
smile to the lip, so that in crowded
street car or even in an assembly atten-
tion may be attracted to the person, who
is wholly unconscious of the same. A
person may imagine himself other than, he
is, and derive great pleasure from the
change, and pass an hour, morning or
day unconsciously. In reverie persons
frequently become practical somnambu-
lists-that is, they speak words which
others hear that they would not have
uttered on any account, strike blows,
move articles. gesticulate and do many
other things, sometimes with the effect o:
immediately recalling them to a knowl-
edge of the situation. when they, Us well
as others, are amused, but often without
being aware that they are noticed. In ex-
IRENE cases the only distinction between
reverie and dreaming sleep are regular
breathing and the suspension of the
senses which accompany the latter.-Dr.
J. NJ. Buckley in The Century.

The Syndicate" system's Growth.

don't think that many people outside
the newspaper business are aware Of the
extent TO which the so called newspaper
syndicates affect the supply Of reading
matter In thu daily papers The system
Is the growth Of few years only. but
bids fair to revolu.ionioe in measure
the journalistic profession. Nowadays
most men OF mark n the newspaper
world derive their chief income by writ
ing for the syndicates signed articles on
special subjects, which appear IN = seore

cate can naturally afford to pay higher

People of the Balkans.

AS showing the strange, cosmopolitan
character of the people of the Balkan
peninsula it is often sufficient to merely
pass from one village to another, or even
from one house to another, in the
same place, to find strange contrasts.
Both Greeks and Bulgarians cling to old
established customs that no amount Of
fusion and progress seems able to modify.
A Bulgarian family and Greek family
occupy houses side by side. In each fam
lily is manageable daughter. In the
former house. friends of the would be
son-in-law are bargaining with the father
rs to the amount he is to receive for his
daughter. In the house of the Greek fam
lily the negotiators are finding out how
much the father is willing to give with
the daughter. Nothing but q wall sep
lrates the two houses, yet in one a young
woman is being lowered, and in the other
young woman is being sold. Each fam
lily is following the custom of it's own
people in ancient times.-ThOmas Stevens
