AN OPEN QUESTION.

CLERK CLARK of the House has
received the certificates of but III
members elect Of the fifty-first Con-
gress, but he attaches no significance
to the delay, as it is yet early to re-
ceive certificates. He has learned
how the election has gonein all but
two districts in West Virginia and
one in Tennessee, and says the Re
publicans may claim a majority of
five, but if the certificates in dis
puted districts are given TO DEM
ocrats they will have majority of
one. General Gof sill asserts that
the Republicans viii have two
Congrcssmen from West Virginia,
but if ell aie Democrp,s the Repub-
leans wilt sill have majority of
one if a certificate is issued TO a Re
pebljcaU rom the disputed Tenn
e.sce district. If "a Democrat re-
ceivea it TN ey viii have a majority,

Gaze hes yet been issued from the

at twenty dollars year for three
years. over which period the course
extends. They support themselves
and buy their own books. Western

knew when they had enough and had

A PRAIRIE ROAD.

The early sster's purple mist
Upon the dewy wsyside lies,
And through their clouds Of amethyst
The yellow sunfowers rise.
Like candelabra. tall and bright,
The silver-clustered mulleins show,
Till tipping every branch. like light
Their FURNISHED blossoms blow.
Beneath the briar's scented screen,
Where shining spider-nets are strung
The nesting turkeys brood and preer
And hide their callOw young.
And circling low the crested jays
Adorn the sunny roadway fare,
And feast from on the trailing sprays
The wild blackberr:es bear.
While thrusting back the leafy shields
The green mock-orange hedges hold,
A troop OF spsrrows seek the fields
To rob them OF their gold.
And yonder through the plumy weeds.
Where tufted cornfiower buds are blue,
A little russell rabbit feeds,
And drinks the morning dew.
On either side, on level sweep
OF boundless, glowing. golden miles.
The summer sky bends blue and deep
AND summer sunshine smiles.

sAs5ATH-DAY HOUSES.

An Instructive Glimpse ut Life in the Early
Colr NAL Days.
Every one went to church in the
colonial days of New England. Fami-
lies living at a distance from the meet
lighthouses came prepared to spend the
intermission between the morning and
afternoon services in the ''Sabbath-day
houses"
These houses, according to descrip-
ton published in Sanford's History Of
Connecticut" were small log struct-
ures, twenty-five feet long, ten broad
and one story high. A chimney in the
middle divided the whole space into
two rooms. for the use of the two fam
lilies whe united in building the house.
The furniture consisted of few chairs,
a table, plates, dishes. and some uten-
sils for warming cooked food. On
shelf were Bible and two or three re-
ligious books.
In winter. on Sunday morning, be-
fore starting for church, the mother of
the family put up food for dinner, not
forgetting jug of cider. The family
rode in q large twO-horse sleigh,
stopped at the Sabbath-house, kindled
a fire, and then went into the cold
meeting house, where the minister
preached in an ove-coat. with muller
about his neck, and mittens on his
hands.
The women carried heated stones In
their muffs. and the men drew bags
over their feet. No chronicler informs
Us how the Loys and girls managed to
keep warm during the long service.
At the conclusion of the morning
service, the family hurried back to the
warm room of the Sabbath house,
where they took their dinner and drank
their cider from . pewter mug.
Thanks were then returned, and the
review Of the sermon began. II the
sermon failed to furnish sufficient mat
Ter to occupy the hour. . chapter in tho

A WoMAN'S TRICK.
How She Reduced Her Drug Bills Sew entI
Five Per Cent.

How She Reduced Her Drug Bills Seventy
Five Per Cent.
The druggists and doctors, it Is
claimed, can not be beaten, but the
quiet and dignifed way that a little
woman in black got the better of q
compounder of drugs on Park row is
worth recording. She came in smil-
ing, and. going up to the prescription
clerk, asked:
How much will this prescription
cost" at the same time handing him
the following medical formula:
Spiritus juniper. OF.
POtass acet4t. u drachm.
Spiritus 8thrs nit. .......1 Or
Decoc scoparii Orr ...So OF.
'.Sixty cents" replied the clerk, and
he turned away preparatory to putting
up the mixture.
Zone minute, please" returned the
little woman in black, '.just put up
one fourth the amount called for and
will come back for it."
Saying this she laid three nickles on
the counter and went out. A reporter,
who was in the drugstore at the time,
left the clerk standing as one petrifed,
and hurried after the small little wom-
an and caught her few doors down
the street. Excusing himself for the
seeming impertinence, he asked her
how she came to think of SO clever q
scheme to outwit the druggist.
1T is plan / adopted years ago."
she replied, land one I shall always
follow. have noticed that doctors in
prescribing for patient always write
for drugs enough to make about six
times Is many doses as will probably
be taken. Well, q medicine ordered
to-day for one complaint is not good
tomorrow for another ailment. There
fore any left over is wasted. To one
who has paid for it this waste is q loss.
The druggist, however. loses nothing
II he keeps it, for he can use It in
filing some other prescription. l have
tried the plan dozens Of times and
never made . mistake but once. and
then had no trouble. for when the
box was empty / simply went back e
The drugstore and got another supply.
