To Save Firemen From Aspl,yxiation.

An English inventor has perfected an
appliance which will be of great value to
frcmen. 1t is q respirator with an India
rubber mouth-piece, and is designed to
enable the wearcr to breathe and work in
comfort in dense smoke and poisonous
gases. The device is.fastened securely by
band around the head and flange ly ing
between the teeth and lips, while small
projecting piece may be graspcd by the
teeth. The air inhaled is drawn through
q series OF small filters containing wet
sponges, cotton wool dampened with
glyccrino, and animal charcoal. The
filters are provided with valves so that
tho breath expired from the lungs is
sent direct to the external atmosphere.
Spectaclcs, with india-rubber rims fit
ting tightly to the cheek and brow, pro-
tect the eyes.

Homomado Toilet soap.

Careful housewives save even tho
small bits of soap that have become too
little to use. Melt the pieces oil together,
put in small bit of Indian meal and a
few drops of perfumery. Let this
harden In any way desired, stamp on q
pattern, or cut with cake cutter, and
the result is pleasing soap for toilet
use. Other bits of soap can be melted in
water, and while the mixture is hot stir
IN oatmeal until there is stiff batter.
For hand soap this is uncqualed when
much dirt or deep stains of ink or berries
are to be removed. The common yellow
soap melted and thickened with securing

had pronounced her cured from the virus
OF the deadly mountain rattle snake,
pronounced her and Paul Myratt man

they entered the home prepared for

the public, she whispered to him upon
whose arm she would lean lovingly for
life:
"Paul, dearest, all honor to the mad

the man that used it, who has given you

Congressman's ODD Investigation,

There was man by the name of Stan.
ton, and he was Congressman from a
kentucky district some time in the year
1857. Before his election to Congress
he had been Il bricklaycr and n stone
mason. During his term some of the
contractors engaged on tho Capitol OK
tensions and Improvement got into an
imbroglio, and first one and then an
other began throwing mud, until finally
one of them, in his anger, made the
charge that the work dono by another
was of the poorest kind, and that tho
Capitol building was in danger. 1t was
tho first time that any such intimation
had ever been made concerning the
safety of the Capitol, and it caused
considerable alarm, says the Chicago
Times
1t led to the appointment of nm in.
vcstigating committee by Congress. MIR.
Stanton was made Chairman of the com.
mittee. 1t is customary when n Con.
grcssional investigating committee is ap-
pointed for it to take up quarters in
some deliberately furnished committee
room, send for witnesses, and then report
its findings. Stanton didn't do any,

went out about the Capitol and inside OF
it armed with the implements which
stonemasons and brickmasons use. They
examined the work that had been done,
and found that there was not one word
of truth in what the quarrclling con-
tractors had charged. The committee so
reported ard was discharged.
That was, so am told, the only time
that any charge of fraud in the construc-
ton of the National Capitol was ever
made.

Senate.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-The senate
resumed consideration of the undervalua-
ton bill.
Mr.. Beck said that all the committee
had desired was to secure uniformity OF
taxation and fair taxation and to prevent
fraud. Under the existing law the i'm
porting business of che country was being
transferred. Ffrom legitimate traders to
those who were simply agents of foreign
manufacturers.
Mr.. Hiscock, also a member of the
finance committee, advocated the bill and
declared that not one word Of protest had
been received against it by the committee
or the senate.
After some further discussion the bill
was passed without division.
Mr.. Plumb offered a preamble and res
olutiOn r|eCiting the fact of the Interrupt
ton of freight traffic on the Chicago, Bur
lington & Quincy and the Atchison, To
peka & Santa Fe railroads, and instruct
ing the committee on interstate COM
merCe to inquire whether such Interrupt
ton of commerce was OCCasiOned by the
failure of the railroad companies to adopt
necessary precautions or by other neglect
of their duty as common carriers.
Mr.. CullOm remarked that that was a
pretty important subject and he inquired
whether the purpose was to have the com
mittee or sub committee leave Washing
ton and carry on the inquiry elsewhere.
MIR. Plumb said that was a question
which the committee would decide for
itself.
Mr.. Harris suggested that the resolu-
ton bad better lie over for the present
and that was aSsented to by Mr.. Plumb.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-the follow
ing bills were reported and placed on the
calendar.
