 Perhaps the Greatest Congressional De
 bate on Record.
 WASHINGTON, May 2l.-The tariff debate closed Saturday in a blaze of glory. Bright hued fans futtered ali day long in the house galleries and thousand feminine faces looked down from all sorts of bonnets upon their law makers. Gay colored gowns in spring fashions against the dark background of sober masculine raiment made a variegated picture of interesting humanity.
 Opera glasses in fair hands were leveled al handsome congressman, and the wide rec tangle of bonnets held as animated and ex- pectant crowd of human beings as has been in the house this session. Nearly every con. screens which stand behind the outer circle oi trousered legs.
 Sunset Cox, who came late, asked unani. nous consent that families of the members be admitted to the floor of the house. Some woman hating congressman objected. Never theless, many ladies got past the doorkeepers, and dozen children of congressman sat on their papas knees. All this was because it was the last day of the great discussion, and the speaker of the house and the Republican leader were to champion, respectively, the cause of revenue reform and of protection.
 Friday MT. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, made the charge that protectionists had sent money into MT. Morrison's district, which is now represented by the Hon. MT. Baker, to defeat his reelection. The charge made MT. Baker angry. He arose to a question o1 privilege and said: 1T hurl the words back into the face and teeth of the gentleman from Kentucky with absolute and unlimited def. ance." He referred to the charges of cor ruption in his district as 'these falsehoods these atrocious falsehoods, these damnable falsehoods. these corrupting and debasing falsehoods"
 MT. Reed was the first speaker. He said that he proposed to discuss some of the gen. eral principles which underlie the two modes of national action which were confessedly in dispute in congress and in the country. He did not purpose to defend protection Its l.o oA

The Sleeper of Saltpetriere.

The Partisan EudoXie Adelouin, the
sleeper of the Saltpetriere, has awakened,
from her long sleep, which was con-
tinued without Il moments interruption
for nineteen days. She had a slumber
of fifty days early in the year in the
hospital where she now is, and has been
for many years. While she was on both
occasions sleeping relays of medical men
kept watch by her bedside. Some hours
before her second period of somnoleuce
ended she showed great nervous agita-
tion, often started and had intermittent
fits of trembling. She at length opened
her eyes in the midst of burst of loud
laughter, which continued for about ten
minutes. During that time she stared
tiXedly, and appeared, though laughing
so hard, as if under some painful appre-
hension.
Then she spoke as if she were ad-
dressing her mother, who was not with
her, in an endearing manner, and on
being handed glass said she only saw
her mothers image in it. She has since
become quite cheerful, but seems to
have hardly any ideas save those sug-
gested to her by the doctors. Contrary
to what is observed in most hystercal
subjects the sense of taste remains while
she is under the influence of suggestion.
Thus, if she is given alocs and told it is
sugar she will swallow it, but make
wry face to show dislike. If told to
drink water from a champagne glass she
shows eXhilaration, and if a package
which DIR. Noisin says contains an
emetic is put into her hand she has
violent fits of nausea. London Nsics.

Then for Edwy came silence.
But not for the hail. Through the

made the fly bold, and he seems unable
to understand what a foreigner means
when he tries to drive them Oft. He has,
too, remarkably prehensile claws, and
keeps them keen and sharp when taking
constitutional walks over European
countenances. 1t was probably the
knowledge of this quality which made
these people pronounce it bad luck to
drive them off. They found it best to
educate the masses to bear the infliction
and to get used to it. Nearly all the
religious and semi-religious prohibitions
and usages of the people of the world
probably had their origin in some ma

Care of Pictures,

In cleaning houses one of the principal
cares should be the pictures. 1t is too
often overlooked or left to the care of
servants, when the lady of the house
should give it her personal attention.
Each picture, as it is taken down, should
be carefully busted and the cord or wire
wiped. Then lay it on table, wash the
glass and polish it until it is perfectly
clear. Wipe the frame with a soft cloth
wet in warm water and rub off all fly
specks and other dirt. If the picture is
framed with glass, paste paper smoothly
all over the back to keep dust from sift-
ing through the cracks.
Frames of polished wood, oak, walnut,
or in fact anything but gilt, will be
greatly improved by rubbing them with
a solution three parts linseed oil and one
part turpentlne. Apply with woolen
cloth and rub with clean wooden cloth
until perfectly dry.
When cleaning gilt frames, the gilt
will sometimes come off with fly specks.
The spots should be touched with little
gold paint applied with soft camel's
hair brush. Old frames can be made to
look like new if painted all over IN this
way. DO not get cheap gold paint, as
it always looks dull and will not pay, for
the labor of puttngit on.
Before hanging the pictures, fasten a
a large clean cloth over the brush end of
the broom. and wipe the walls all over
If the walls are papered, and the paper
is torn or defaced, cover such places
with scraps of the paper, matching, if
possible, to the figures If you have no
pieces of the paper, japanese scroll, or
IA cheap placque, or even bunch of dried
grasses tied with a nice bow of ribbon,
will cover the place and add beauty to the
room. One lady covered pieces OF paste
board with colored satin and fastened
the punches of grass to them, aud they
were very ornamental.
Pictures should never be hung too
high. You often see a choice little
painting hurg so high that you would
have to mount chair to see what the
subject is. Always hang them so that
they can be easily seen by a person of
medium height. 1t is considered to be
in better taste to use two nails instead of
one, it gives a more symmetrical effect,
and, indeed, it is worth considering as a
matter of safety. BE very careful to
hang pictures in the proper light. If
they are to be seen in a strong light do
not not put them in an obscure corner,
and if painted in bright colors, do not
place where the sunshine will fall on
them.- So. L9uiS Sayings.
