Where the Senators Go to Church.

There are a number of religious men
in the Senate, says a Washington letter
to the Philadelphia Times. Mr.. Blair is
an active member of the Congregational
Church. Mr.. Brown and Nlr. Colquitt
are Methodists, and the latter often oc-
cupies the pulpit, both when he is at
home and in Georgia and while he is in
Washington, although he has never been
ordained as preacher. Mr.. (hace is o
Quaker, and attends regularly the little
chapel of the Society of Friends on I
street. Mr.. Cameron has pew in the
New York Avenue Presbyterian Church,
and attendsservice there regularly. MIR.
Morrill,, of Vermont, Mr.. Chandler, of
New Hampshire, and Mr.. Hoar, of Mas
sachusetts, are active members of the
Unitarian Church, and can always be
found in their pews on Sunday. MIR.
Cullom and his colleague, Mr.. Farwell,
are Prcsbyterians and have sittings in
the new Church of the Covenant, on
Connecticut avenue. Mr.. Hale, of Maine,
and Mr.. Wilson, of Maryland, attend the
same church aud have pews. Mr.. Frye,
Mr.. Platt, of Connecticut, and MIR.
Vance, of North Carolina, attend
the New York Avenue Presbyte-
rian Church, and, although the latter
is not a teetotaler, he is an active men,
Der of the Congressional Temperance
Society and frequently makes addresses
on that subject. Mr.. Dawes is Con-
gregationalist. Mr.. Edmunds is very
strict in his religious observances and
attends the Epiphany Church, where
Senator Sherman has pew also. MIR.

Disagreeable Fashions Squelched.

The persistence with which American
women cling to the practice of wearing
high hats in the theatres, says the New
York Hortd, is something remarkable.
A year ago the comic papers were full
of caricatures emphasizing the selfish
ness and ungraciousnes' of the EaDit,
aud other journals abonnded in appeals
for its discontinuancc. A few comcly
unbonncted heads here and there re-
suited, but that was all. Since then the
sub. .ect has been dropped. in the hope
that the practice would die natural
death, but it still survives in all its OBJ.
noxi Jusness. 1t is one of the advan-
tages of despotic form of government
that disagrecable fashion of this kind
can be dealt with under it. The elder
Disracli, who was an industrious collater
of curious fats, relates that the Car
Paul, finding that the long and expan-
sive trousers worn by men IN his day In
terfered with the carriage of the sword,
ordered his soldiers to cut oil at the
knees with their hangers the trousers OF
every male passer-by, and not to be par
ticular about the scratches. Knee
breeches were universally in style in st.
Petersburg in a week. Queen Elizabeth
once did something of the same kind.
The fashion in ruffs and rapiers became
too exaggerated to suit her. According
to John Stowe, she caused to be placed
selected grave citizens at every gate to
cut the ruffes and b1eake the raplers
points of all passengers that exceeded q
yeard in len 9Th of their rapiers and a a
nayle of a yeard in depth of their ruffes; "
The desire to conceal deformities or to
accentuate beauties, says Isaac Disraell,
was the origin of many fashions.

Wealthier than ROthschild.

The m m'llionaires of Prussia are fewer
and smaller than those of America.
Krupp, the cannonmaker Of Essen, is
the iichest. He is assessed on an income
of 81, $50, 900 year, and pays $50, 15O
income tax. Four years ago he only paid
SIS, 75O, showing that his yearly reve-
nue. must have increased very rapidly.
The second rich man is Rothschild, the
Banker, at Frankfort -on-the Main. Four
years ago he paid more than Krupp,
$1s,9 900. But this year Krupp has left
him far behind with only $40, 100 in
come tax. The third richest man is
banker Bleichroeder, paying s1s,45O in
come tax. Then follow five little
millionaires, with $77OO to $4,000 in
come tax and income of s25O,OOO to
1920, 900 a year. Then come twenty
seven men with only s12O, 900 to $780,
600 yearly income and $4,000 to $1,000
income tax. Less than half of these
richest people live at the city of Berlin.

steam mangle, which is mammoth copy
of the smaller machines. The sheets are

where every piece is sorted. Each mum.
Der has box corresponding to it, and
here the tickets are already arranged.
Each ticket that came with "the wash"
is held over its box with aspiring. The
sorter takes handful of collars and
passes up and down, distributing the
articles. When the wash is all distribu-
ted, girls take the articles from the
boxes, count and compare them with the
tickets and wrap them in neat bundles,
fixing the bundles. The bundles go into
the front office and are placed in boxes
alpha betically. Each box represents an
agent. This concern has 100 agencies.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

A lovers lie is worse than stab.
A short blow makes long bruise.
Even reproofs can be kindly given.
Leave it to luck when you don't care.
The greatest good is done most
quietly.
He has much to do who would please
everybody.
He who does not look before he leaps
lags behind.
Don't expect too much from those
around you.
1t is nothing to begin; perseverance is
everything.
Listen to both sides of question be-
fore you decide.
You will not be loved if you care for
none but yourself.I
A man can see his way into a fight
better than he can see his way OUT.
If you would be pungent, be brief; for
it is with words us with sunbeams, the
more they are condensed the deeper they
burn.
Life's a reckoning we cannot make
twice over You cannot mend wrong
satisfaction by doing your addition
right.
knowledge is made by oblivion, and to
purchase clear and warrantable body of
truth we must forget and part with much
we know.
Too many believe that "the world
owes everybody living" and that no
personal effort is required to make the
collection.
The wise man is but learner in fact,
spelling letters from h:eroglyphical,
prophetic book, the lexicon of which lies
in eternity.
The way to cure prejudice is this-that
every man should let alone those things
that he complains of in others and ex-
anime his own.
1t requires sterner virtue than good
nlture % hold fast the truth that it is
nobler to be shabby and honest than to
do things handsomely in debt.
Thought and sympathy are often more
valuable than. anything money can pro-
cure. Both need continued circulation
to keep them wholesome and strong.
To insure long life recreation should
be part of our daily life. 1t makes the
busy man thoughtful and keeps the
thoughtful man busy. 1t insures health,
success and the accomplishment of more
work in less time and better.

STORM AND CALM.

An day the angry southwind roaring past,
With warm, tumultuous showers Of fitful
rain,
Ratified upon my streaming window pane.
And through the autumn woodlands driving
fast.
Stripped of and whirled into the air the last
Few wthered leaves. On the wide misty
pain
The bell, the whistle an | thu rumblin5 train
Were si!enced in the thunder Of the blast.
Now ali is STILL A few faint wandering s.ghs
Aloue. The patient trees though robbed and
shorn,
Lift their bare arms and greet the sunset light
Flashing on spires AMI windows, while the
skies
Glow with the promise Of a Starlit night,
AMI the calm sunrs, Of radiant morn.
