1t will be noticed in the Washington
dispatches that CLIFFORD and SPRINGER
are boon companions, and when the
delegate feels the somnolent mood COM
irg on he seeks the society of the wide
awake Illinois member. The matter is
only noteworthy from the fact that it is
the fashion of GIFFoRD's supporters to
denounce SPRINGER as an enemy to Da-
kota and a fellow to be diScountenanced
and put down. CLIFFORD evidently
does not find him prejudiced against
Dakota.

Oriental Politeness.


Some curious notes on the etiquette
of the East are published in q recent
issue of the Gazette de France: For
instance a Turkish Effendi, when
speaking to another about himself,
always says: .'youf servant" "your
valet" or tsyour slaye.;'.' and TO the
other he says '..y odr high or your
eminent personality" Instead Of
saying 81 saw. you at the. theater
the other night he would always
say: AT the theater the either
night / saw the dust. s.ef your
shoes" after all a rather doubtful
sort of compliment. But here is the
Turkish form of an invitation to din
ner: my Generous Master, My Re-
spected Lord: This evening if itpleases
Allah, when the great king Of the
army of stars, the sun of worlds, APP
preaching the kingdom of shades, shall
put his foot into the stirrupsof speed,
you are invited to enlighten us with
the luminous rays Of your face, which
rivals the sun. Your arrival like the
zephyr of spring, will drive away from
us the somber night Of solitude and

over from his own claim to assist in

What He Can Do with It.

Now, Mr.. A., what can the saloon
keeper do with the $50. so you handed
him last year? Mind you, he is mot
fool enough to pay it out for drinks as
you paid 1t in. He can buy himself an
excellent suit of clothes with it, or he
can get his wife "love of bonnet"
or if his family is not extremely large,
he can purchase flour enough to sup
ply them for the year to come. Ten
chances to one your own family is in
greater need of what that $50. so would
buy than is that of the saloon man.
But you voluntarily contributed the
amount to his support and deprived
your own wife and children of tile
comforts that of right belonged to
them. There is food for reflection
here, and it may truly be said it is the
only food you get in return for money
at the bar.
But what about b? Possibly he was
a laborer at very low wages. but being
a total abstainer he found no difficulty
in laying aside the ten cents a day he
would otherwise have expended for
drinks. Consequently, he has cash on
hand that may be used to purchase
many of the comforts of life for the
year to come. And, too, there is that
elmer consciousness of industry
and thrift, that courage and hope for
greater things in the future. "Oh,
WELL, says A., 81 could afford that
little outlay of ten cents day."
Well, my friend, you are wrong. No
good citizen can afford to contribute
even ten cents to traffic that is adj
mitted to be the cause of three-fourths
of all the pauperism, crime and misery
in our land to-day. Don't boast, of
what you can afford to spend for
liquor. If you have money to spare
you can afford to spend it for some
thing that will benefit yourself and
others, which liquor can not do

Temperance Abroad.

, If there is one passage in the letters
of American travellers in. Europe moro
than another it is this: During our
six weeks stay in Paris we did not SEQ
a single drunken person." Then they
travel through Switzerland, Germany,
Austria, Italy and Spain, and all
France, and still they do not see a
drunken person. They attribute the
sobriety of the people to the fact that
everybody drinks wine,and beer; drink
it all the time, and lots of it. with no
license and prohibition nonsense to
bother them; consequently they never
get drunk. Well, now, the only. in
ference one can draw from these re-
markable letters is either that. the
writers themselves were blind drunk
all the time they were in Paris, or the
Partisan drunkard is most successful
hider. Because, while our travellers
last year did not see single instance
of drunkenness in Paris, the. official
police records state that the police of
Paris saw and arrested, on an average,
one hundred and fifty people every
day between January 1 and April 30
for being drunk ON the streets. 1t is
Just as well to bear in mind the official
report while reading these letters, and
perhaps if the writer drank less and
thought more they would remember
that official returns will not always
agree with letters from the guide-book.

bles Pricked by Prof White.
1t has been an old-wives' notion
from way back that certain kinds of
food must be avoided because they
tend to produce certain kinds of dis
ease. This notion has been fostered
by alleged physicians who publish
health journals, and are always laying
down rules about living, which, if any
one undertook to follow literally and
scrupulously, would make life bur-
den from the cradle to the grave.
Some years ago DIR. bio Lewis, who
was regarded as somewhat of health
expert, announced that tomatoes were
unhealthy, were the cause of cancer,
loosened and destroyed the teeth, etc.
For generations boys and girls had
been warned not to eat. SO much butter

James c. White, professor of dermat-
ology in Harvard University, in a re-
cent article on cutaneous diseases,
pricks some of those annoying tradi.
tional bubbles. He says that uncooked
butter is perfectly harmless food so
far as the skin is concerned, and it is
difficult to conceive how any one
would have thought otherwise unless,
possibly, the use of. bad butter in food
otherwise indigestible may. have dis
turbed the stomach and produced inn

produce cutaneous diseases, unless

over the limp child before him, nearly
sweeping the two from his back as he
forced his way to the welcome heat
within.
The man closed the door and sprang
to where the pony was, almost earess-

which cracked cheerful fire that a
portion of the pine table had been sac
rificed to kindle. As he strove to dis
mount, little Jim's benumbed body
seemed to collapse. and he tumbled to
the floor with the half-uneonscious
child in his arms.
An hour later, in spite of the biz
zard that Kissed without, there was
a cheerful scene within the humble
shack on Josh Hydon's claim. The
Government land inspector sat close
to the stove and in his arms slept
his small daughter. whom little
Jim had SO heroically rescued
from terrible death in the

WHEN NIGHT COMES.


The children come horne when the sun goeth
down,
When the sun goeth down to his rest,
In night-robes of crimson and purple and gold,
And with clouds cuddled low on his breast.
They slip thro' the gate that old Time leaves
ajar,
For the day as it hasteneth by,
And closely they nestle up close to my heart
When the shadowy night draweth nigh.
The children come home when the day neth
dead
On his bier of a pale, purple mist,
And When is white face by The gathering dusk
And the tremulous starlight is kissed.
They reach out their wee, dimpled fingers to
mine;
On my old wrinkled face there doth lie
The soft, cllnging pressure OF warm baby lips
When the shadowy night draweth nigh.
My darlings come home in my desolate age
From the land of the sweet long ago;
They creep in my arms with the old baby touch,
And with lisping words tender and low,
They sootne the hard pain OF my poor mother
heart
And they check every grief-burdened sigh
With songs Of the sweet cradle time that shall
DO
When the last Swallowed night draweth nigh.

What the Commercial Travellers of the
Country Spend Each Year.
A modern knight of the road:f !" Do
you know that there are about eighty
thousand commercial travellers in the
United States? Surprised to hear ftp
Yes; most people are when they are
told of it; but it 8 fact nevertheless.
You may also be surprised to learn that
each one of them spends on an aver
age $4,000 year, or total Of $780,
600, 600.
eff you add to this their salaries,
averaging at the least 81, 600, you have
total expenditure by commercial
travellers of $500, 900, 900 year. This
is naturally spent in all parts of the
country; but the hotels and railroads
get the lions share of it.
''During the last ten years there has
been great change in the character
of the commercial traveller. The old
Bohemian type has almost entirely dis
appeared from the road, and drinking
men are much more rarely met with
there than formerly. The fact of the
matter is that competition is now SO
keen, and expenses have become so
heavy, that it does not pay a house to
send out as travellers any but the
steadiest and most reliable business
men.

the question Of parliamentary law
raised yesterday by the motion to ex-
cuse member from voting on propo-
sition to take recess, is by no means a
new or unsettled point. On May 26,

contested election case of Mackey YER
sus Dibble, the Democratic members
were fllibustering against the report OF
the elections committee. Representa-
tive Hatch, of Missouri, asked to be eX-

Mr.. Blackburn moved formally that the
gentleman be excused. The point of
order was made against the motion by
Mr.. Calkins that it was not in order, and
Speaker Keifer sustained the point and
held that the motion to be excused from
voting on motion to adjourn or take a

decision was based upon rulings by

gress; Boyd. of the Thirty-third; Col
