A Senatorial Darling.

A Washington dispatch says:-A good
deal of amusement is furnished this
winter by the wife of certain Senator,
who always calls her husband Darling" 3"
He isn't such one as the term would
be ordinarily applied to, being big and
burly and not very nice about his per
son, but she seemed to think 1t a very
pretty pet name, and uses the term of
cndearment on all occasions. Whether
she is addressing him in private or pub
lie, or whether she speaks of him to
others, she always says Is Darling, and
does it so frequently that when q" Dar-
ling" is referred to now everybody
knows who is meant.
Darling has such bad cold" she
said to another Senator's wife the other
day, ''that 1 am going to put him to
bed when he comes home.
"Darling went to the Capitol early
this mornings" she remarked to another,
{" to attend one of those horrld com
mittee meetings What dreadful things
they are 1 positively hate them.
Why, Darling says that if it wasn't for
his committee work he could spend lots
ufsaime with me"
A%The other Senators have " caught on"
SO to speak, and now seldom allude to
their colleague by any other term-in
his absence only, of course. One Sena-
torscame very near making a blunder
the other day by using it at the wrong
time sHe entered the committee room
q Ettlehte and as he took off his coat
and gloves looked around the table, at
which half do-A=ygr more Senators
were seated, and asked:
"Where's Darling?"
There were some frantic gestures to-
ward q book case at the other end of the
room and the late conner blushed deeply
and looked alarmed. Darling" was
behind a map-rack, where he could not
be seen, and if he overheard the remark
he showed no sign.

THE LIME KILN CLUB.
A Few Questions in the Way of Par
liamentary Rules.

81 hold heah in my hand, said Broth
er Gardner as the meeting opened, "a
written request from de members of
Branch Lodge No. 81, located at Dal-
ton, Ga, fur decishuns on de follerin'
pints:
4. Kin member of club, who
cheats another in a horse trade be
bounced under any ruIe?'
"'What should we do wild a member
who is guilty of lynn stealth and breed
in discord!'
''3. How fur are we boun' to trust
brother member?
Gas to No. l., I answer dat no rule has
yit been framed, nor isn't likely to be.
De right of one man to beat another in
q hOss trade has been recognized all
ober de world, in church, lodge and So
ciety, eber since de world stood. While
you might kinder expect dat if Pickles
Smith was tradin' hosses wild Shindig
Watkins he would mention spavins an
ringbones, you can't Dank on it. If he
did it would probaBi ~be FUR de purpose
of concealin' bad case of poll evil or

Gas to qushun No. 2, when we find
member who is guilty of those offenses
we ginerally bounce him, but sich a
course are not obligatory. Very few
societies or lodges follow dis rule. It's
hard work to eben get church congrega-
tions to foller it. When de legal bar of
city won't expel member who has
been sent to states prison On straight
case, you mus not expect too much of
society of cullud men.

Husband and Wife.

A certain remoteness between per-
sons even so closely united as husband
and wife increases their pleasures in
each others society. Besides, a little
formnlity tends to preserve amicable
relations and to prevent pickering. I
hate to see man remain seated in his
chair when his wife enters the room or
leaves it. l have known husbands
men, too, accustomed to pride them
selves on their good manners in general
society-who would lead the way to the
dining room when dinner was an
nounced, leaving their wives to follow.
And everybody is familiar with the pro-
pensity which married people often ex-
hibit to cut in and spoil each others
stories and remarks. This kind of thing
would not be likely to occur if q certain
distance and ceremoniousness were OBJ
served between them. The other day [
was passing the house of venerable and
highly esteemed citizen of Boston, when
the door opened and lady came out to
enter her carriage. The old gentleman
also appeared, though footman was in
attendance, and, bareheade6, handed
his wife to the coupe with fine air not
only of civility but of respect. Boston

left the little inn the detective appeared
in sight but the stage made no delay,
and the party was again on their way.
Suddenly the inside passengers de-
tected the effort of the driver to stop his
cumbrous team, and heard the voice of
the American by his side to shout I'd
him, eff you stop I'll kill you; drive on
md drive hard" Then rifle shot, and
another shout as he passed down his
rifle and called for fresh one, which he
received at once.
Mr.. Wood and his companions, look
ing from the coach, saw they were pur-
sued by eight horsemen, who were now
within 200 yards at the rear. Leaning
from the coach window he cried out to
the driver, eff those fellows catch me
YOU are a dead mani" The threat told
Wonderfully on the speed of the team
Meanwhile the band approached, and
the three Americans fred together,
throwing the ladrones into confusion
and forcing halt; but they rallied at
once, ahd six horseIn sn Of the eight were
drawing nearwhen tE7a7tC.river's compan-
ion by another shot brought a man to
the ground. At this moment the detect
i've and his guard appeared in the rear
of the band, and Mr.. Wood ordered the
driver to slow down. The robbers dis
covered the trick, for, turning, they saw
the reinforcement in the rear, and lost
no time leaving the road and making off
across the valley toward the mountains.
The stage met no further adventure,
and Mr. Wood was able to return to
Mexico in week. The afternoon of
his arrival he accompanied the English
bank manager and the detective to the
hospital at Guadalupe, and found there,
to the surprise of the manager, the tel
Ter, Mr.. Carlos Watfls, suffering from
shattered leg.
If Mr.. Watfils were tried in Mexico, it
is by no means certain that conviction
could be secured under its laws. It
was, indeed; chance if the Americans
might not be made to suffer for killing
men who had not attacked them. In
this view of the case, Mr.. Watfils was
sent across the water with the English
officer, and having been convicted in
London of the crime of counterfeiting,
was sentenced to twenty years penal SER
vitude.-The Argondut.

NitrO.GIycerine as a Life Giver.

DR.. NJ. H. Lesl<erstein of Chicago re-
ports the remarkable effects of nitro
glycerine in rcsuscitating life. His pa

of the heart was imperceptible, the tenn
perature of the body had fallen to 92
degrees F, and every indication of death
was present. A solution of nitro
glycerine was administered hypoder.
m;cally, when there was gasp, followed
by three Others within minute. During
the second minute six respirations were
noted, with a faint futtering of the
heart, but no wrist pulse was discernible.
During the third minute eighteen respi-
rations were evident and a feeble pulse.
During the fourth minute the pulse rose
to 1S0 and above, the face was flushed,
the eyes rolled, the muscles slowly re-
laxed and the patient became comforta'

Salt in the Blood.

One thing is certain-the blood con-
tains constant supply of salt, under all
conditions of life-about four aud half
parts in thousand. 1t is found in all
parts of the animal system, which ap-
pears to have the power of combining
the chlorine and sodium received through
its food into salt, and of decomposing
salt into its original elements, as may be
required. The hydrOchloric acid, so I'M.
portant a constituent in the gastric juice,
is belle 5ed by many Psychologists to be
derived mainly from common salt. 1t
acts as a stimulant to the salivary glands
and all the digestive organs, and aids in
purifying the system through the kidneys
and the skin. 1t constitutes fifty
per cent. of all the mineral salts in the
blood. .-Prdiris Farmer.

But that damsel isn't in

months soaring the engineers at GER
tain trestle on a railroad near Atlanta
was found few days ago lying uncon-
scious and nearly frozen to death in
pool of water near the spot. She had
neither shoes nor stockings and few
other clothes, and was evidently de-
mented, although she could talk ration
ally on some subjects. She seemed to
be of good birth and had evidences OF
refinement about her. She said she
was Annie Garrett and had taken tC
the woods because she was disgusted
with the world and lacked the courage
to commit suicide. A hole was found
dug out beneath the trestle, and in
that she had lived.
