twenty years ago the Democrats broke
down the walls that had surrounded
China for thousands of years and ad-

he made false statement knowingly and

Gently said to Mail and Express
reporter: "No one will ever be able to
tell the real wealth of Alaska. 1t con-
sists of the abundance of its skinned
animals. The Russians used to value
the country for its furs, and it was
mainly for the furs that this country
acquired 1t from Russia The trade has
grown very much since its annexation
to this country. The shipments of sea
otter and fur sealskins alone have more
than doubled during the past ten years,
and now averages annually 81, 500, 900
in value. The list of furs produced in
that part of the country is long one.
The land furs comprise otter. beaver,
brown bear, black bear, red fox, silver
fox, blue and white fox, mink, martin,
polar bear, lynx, and muskrat. Rab-
bits, marmcts, and wolverines are also
common, but their skins are retained
by the natives. The annual value of
the furs, sea and land, now obtained
from Alaska is estimated to average
over 50, 900, 900, and there is no sign OF
decrease in the yield. The competition
of the traders for skins has stimulated
the natives to greater industry in hunt
ing, and the prices now paid to the
hunters are from four to ten times
more than were current during the
Russian rule"

At the start the average man makes q
botch of> kissing, writes New York
correspondent. The beauty of kiss
lies in its impulsiveness and its i'm
pressibility, nor is il possible to make
the first one too brief. There is danger
in the attempt to make'the initial kiss
complete. The girl won't have it.
There is too much audacious avarice
about it. The thing TO do is to 60 at
the fair creatures dips slowly, 20 as not
to brighten her. It is to be expected
that she will draw them away from the
point of attack; but instead of retreat
ing the thing for heroism to do is to
kiss her on some place-on the cheek,
the temple, behind the ear or on the
hair. A woman's fancies are as branch
ing as the trees of forest, and, how
ever unsatisfactory to the swain the
misplaced kiss may have been, it will,
if left TO itself, make the recipient WON
drous indulgent next time. She will
caress the spot where your lips have
been, look at the place through hand
glass and dream of the one who placed
it there. When sufficient progress has
been made in the love-making to war
rant the ideal kiss, take il methodical-
ly, with both hands, and the gentle
touch that love can teach Let the
left arm go about-not her neck, to
wrinkle crepe-lisse ruche and muss q

benefit, no doubt-but about her should
ers. Take her chin in the right hand,
allowing the three fingers to touch the
pretty white throat, holding the face
with the thumb and forefnger, which
viii form sort of vice for loves con-
quest. Move her head to one side and
little backward, and approaching so
as to make the quartet of lips describe
the diameters of an imaginary square,
kiss her twice-the second double the
length of its very short predecessor.
This double kiss is clew to mans
culture. Only the uncouth, ill-bred
lover kisses as he learned to country
units. The gentleman who has had the
good fortune to be born in an atmos-
phere of refinement makes duet of his
first and final salutation, whatever may
be the numerical value of the interme-
dates. The well-bred girl wants short
sharp, swapping kisses, that pop inau-
dibly, but still that pop. A kiss on the
hair is the kiss of a poet; tenderness is
implied when the lips press the eyelids;
reverence is spoken when the brow is
caressed, and protecting love when the
cheek is empearled.
Nothing can sanctify kiss but love,
without which the sweetest lips are un,
savory and unwholesome.

The Pay.ROlls OF Congress.

There is one bill which, when it is
introduced into the Senate and House
Of Representatives, is always sure of
prompt passage. 1t is the one which
provides for the expenses of Congress.
There are just 401 members of the
House and of the Senate, and to wait
upon them and run errands, and hold
open the doors as they pass In and out,
and carry the cards of their callers and
take care of the thousands of bills they
pat in, they have employed about 400
people, who are paid the snug little
sum of 1854, 900 for doing so. Fact.
Every member has one employe, and
for the service of the same there is paid
an average of about 81 800 each. The
snug little sum of $3.50, 900 is required
to pay the salaries of the Senators, and
for the compensation of the members Of
the House 81 sos, 900 has to be provid-
ed, and this brings the salaries of our,
national lawmakers to total of over
$4,000, 900 per year.
1t costs little less than $50, 900 per
session to pay the mileage of the MEM
bers, and the country pays $4,000 to
purchase the stationery for members
and officers of the House alone in any
one session. The Treasury pays $50, 900
for reporting the debates, whether Con-
gress sits for one month or for twelve,
as the official reporter, like most of the
clerks, are paid by the year, though they
seldom do more than twelve months
work in the twenty-four months that
make up Congressional term. Right
here is where the political workers come
in; over $150,000 is appropriated for
clerks to committees, who have about
the snuggest places in Washington.
One days time each week would in all
fairness suffice for the performance of
their duties, and that only when Con-
gress is In session. When the adjourn
ment takes place the good clerks go
home, and at the first of every month
the Sergeant-st-Arms forwards check
for the salary due him, just the same as
ifhe were engaged in the Government
service every working day in the year.
1t requires 1854, 900 to keep up the an
nual payroll of the officers, clerks, and
messengers that stand about under the
dome of the Capitol to do the bidding

Invisible Reins.

All our readers may have power il
they seek it. But what sort of power :?

spicuous both\ their good deeds and
their bad ones; not the great wealth
which causes the world afoot to doff its
cap while the millionaire rolls past and

but they may hold silken invisible
reins of influence by which people OF
all conditions may be turned hither and
thither, restrained, urged forward, or
controlled
Would you find these invisible reins :?
There are many TO be had let only two
of them be mentioned: One is gentle
ness. "The power of gentleness," said
Henry Martyr, lis irresistible" Is it
not true? Look around your group Of
acquaintances. Whose word has most
weight? Whose approval is most
sought? Whose way Is oftenest fol-
lowed? Not the blusterer's, not the
bold, lond-voiced wrangler's not the
positive, .unreasoning dogmatist's, but
his whose gentle tone, modest opinion
of self, quiet manner, willingness to
stand back, all point out true wisdom,
But gentleness alone will not do; it
is strong influence, but it needs a
counter-rein, lest the guidance be one
It's balance is not far to seek. Let the
silken rein of gentleness be united with
the fine-drawn steel wire of firmness,
and you hold in your grasp power which
crowned heads might envy.
This is no fancy sketch. We have in

whatever community his lot was cast,
and al thoughtful people agree that he
owes his position mainly to these two
well-adjusted reins, gentleness and firm

his principles in matters great and
small are as fixed as is the mountain
chain of his native land.

A strange breed of wild cattle is found
In the high hills skirting the Umpqus
valley, Oregon, says letter In the
Boston Transcript In the Mountains,
near Riddles and Rosebud, they are
probably most plentiful, but they do
not venture down in the valley much.
They stay on the hills, and get water
from the living springs which rise
there. For the most part they are con-
cealed in the dense growth of oak and
Dir in these mountains. There is heavy
underbrush, too, SO that it is hard
matter to get them. They go in bands
of six or eight usually, but at night
herd of forty or fifty get together and
lie down in the same yard-that is, they
sleep in the same spot, which is usually
n secluded place among the trees. A
band of wild cattle have been known to
get together on cleared place like
this every night for couple of years.
when feeding, there are always few
bulls to act as sentinels. While the
cattle Craze in bands of half a dozen or
so, they are, nevertheless, close to other
bands, so that an alarm from any one of

The cattle are all colors and wilder

came to the valley. Their COW wan

After two or three years, all the pio-
neers had to do when they wanted beef
was to rig out two or three pack ami
mails and go up into the mountains.
The cattle had to be killed on sight,
the same as bear or deer, for they could
no more be driven down than deer
could. Once killed, they were quar-
tered, packed on the horses, snd carried
down. They have been hunted good
deal of late years, 80 that there are not
so many as there used to be. A pecu-
iarity about these cattle is that their
eyes aud horns are jet black. The re-
