Westprner in appearance. and, like
Reed. he frequently moves about with
his hands in his pockets. He is great
smoker, and is seldom seen without a
cigar in his mouth. the end of which is
always well chewPd. He does not
weigh as much as either McKin-
ley OF Reed, but his frame has
become iron through exercise. and
it has been his custom to take horse
back rid every day during his stay in
Washington. Mr.. Cannon is now fifty
three years of age. and lie has been in
congress for the last sixteen ears. He
has always held good position on the
floor. and he is noted as fighter. His
favOrite attitude in speaking is with one
foot on the chair nearest him. Then

D, e, REWDEPSoW Henderson
does not look unlike Dudley; he has the
same dark hair cOmbed up from a high
forehead. the same dark complexion
which turns to the color of the moss
rose as he talks, and the same half-limp
walk due 10 the wooden leg replacing
that which he, like Dudley, lost on the
battlefield. Henderson is good speaker.
he gestures well. and has lungs equal
to those of the famed bull of BaslIan.
lie is Lawyer by profession, and he
lives at Dubuque. He is one of the
handsome men of the house, and one of
the well-dreSSed members. He wears a
slouch hat and cntaway coat. and not
WIthstandlng his wooden leg he walks
well without crutcheS. He is man of
great industry and unlimited ambition.
All of the speakership candidates are
married. Mrs. Reed is a finely educated
woman, and the daughter of Rev. S. II.
Merrill, one of the noted Cungrega-
tional preachers of Maine. She is of
medium height. and bas dark hair and
Eyes. She is possessed of much social
ability, and she will be fit lrader for
the ladies of the Congregational circle.
Mrs. Mckinley has not peen able to go
into society for some years on account
of her health. She is a very pretty
woman, and is, like her husband, of
OHIO birth. Her father was one of
the oldest newspaper men of that
state, and the founder of the
Canton Repository. Mrs. Cannon also
comes from Ohio. She is noted as a
society leader: and she will bring to her
aid two daughters who are very we'll
educated as well as pretty. Mrs. Bur
rows met her husband when the two
were at school together. 1t was a case
of love at first sight, and Julius Caesar
married her as soon as he came out of
the army. Mrs. Burrows is tall and
slender; she has sparkling eyes and
rosy complexion. She is fond of So
ciety and society is fond of her. The
same may be said of Mrs. Henderson,
who is pretty. entertaining Iowa lady,
and. however the fight for the gavel
ends, 1t is certain that the house social
circle will not lack an accomplished
leader. FRANK g. CARPENTER.

Mckinley was born in Ohio, and he
made his first speech one cold February
morning, just fOrty-tive years ago.
Whether'born great or not, he has sue
ceeded in making himself SO in the eyes
of the people. He is not man of ex-
traOrdinary natural ability. but he is
possessed of the genius of common sense.
He knows how to take advantage of a
good opportunity. and he never makes a
mistake. He does n0tsppak often in con-
gress. and his speeches cover but few
subjects. He prepares himself
well, however, and when he does
rise the house and the country
KNOW that he has something
to say. He is well posted on the rules
OF the house, and he would make good
speaker. His election might be looked
upon 9S declaration to the country
that the Republican party proposed to
run its campaign OH the protective tariff
basis. and he would be just the opposite
in every respect of thu former speaker,
Mr. Carlisle. He would in many ways
make much better speaker than Mr..
Reed, and the party, it is urged. could
much easier spare him from the floor
than the bright-eyed, vitriol-tongued
genius from Maine.

New Treatment of Heart Disease.

1t is well-knoWn that at certain
stages of heart disease. dropsy inevita-
bly, sets in. Prof German See, of
Paris, has long been perimenting
with view to discover what elements
I'm milk rendered it such an admirable
agent tostimulate the kidneys, increase
the flow therefrom, and hence prove
of such great service in dropsies The
conviction which he arrived at was
that the one important element is sug-
ar of milk. Acting on that theory he
selected twenty live patients with heart
disease. in all OF which there was more
or less dropsy. To each he gave 100.
grammes of the sugar of milk a day,
dissolved in Two quarts of water. In
all these cases a marked effect on the
kidneys was felt within twenty-five
hours, and the dropsies diminished
rapidly, and after a series of treatment
lasting from six to eight days, almost
all such swellings disappeared. This
discovery is regarded as one of the
most important made in the medical
world fer years.

A BAD man III Illinois has had a
little too much of law and criminal
aw yers. On trial for forgery, he saw
the issue was to be against him and
ran away. The court went on and
convicted him and sentenced him to.
six years in the penitentiary. The
sheriff ran across him one day and
took him to the penitentiary. He
had his case taken to the supreme
court on the ground that the pro-
ceedlngs were irregular because he
was not in court to be sentenced.
The higher court pronounced the
sentence informal and directed that
he be taken back to court and prop
erly sentenced. He has served eight
months in prison meantime, which is
a dead loss to him.

Deacon Dudley's Squash.

The first acquaintance I met at the
Sagadahoc fair was Deacon Dudley,

tents he could not have appeared more

'EWalk right in," was his hospitable
greeting as approached the entrance.
'Tve got the biggest curiosity ever
shown in the county, and 1 want you
to see it before the crowd gathers. I
raised it myself" he explained, s'from
seed sent by my wife's brother from
California. You'll get some idea of
its length when I tell you that I
brought it here in a box three and {,
half feet long. I packed it in hay SOS
to keep it from scarrin', and whel.
took it out twas smooth as a smelt ara
shiny as a glass bottle !"
By this time we had reached this
farm produce department, and the
deacon's tongue and legs came to a
standstill together. i asked the name
OF the wonder he had described.
''Well,' he said, scratching his head
perplexedly, sit was a squash-the
longest l ever saw-but what shape
it's in now, or where it's gone, is

with my name tackled to it. You hold

It was late in the afternoon when I

my conscience smote me, and with
genuine solicitude I asked if he had

Oriental Compliments,

The most amusing trait in human
nature is the mutual contempt with
which nations regard each other, and
it is a trait which can be traced back
as far as history extends. The Greeks
called the world barbarians; the Ro-
mans scoffed at the Greeks, and the
Egyptians regarded other people as no
better than slaves.
In our days, the contempt we ex-
nibit for Oriental nations is mild com
pared with their contempt for us. The
Turks are but little behind the Chi
nese in this respect, their ordinary
designation of Christian being a
..dog."
When the first Dutch ambassador
was sent to the Porte, he visited the
Sultan.
What does the dog want?'' asked
the Sultan.
This was translated in a speech full
of ornate Oriental compliments, and
the ambassador replied in the same
strain.
Let the dog feed, and when the
dog is fed, kick the dog out =
The ambassador was delighted with
the Sultan's compliments. The Sultan
felt that he had held his own, and the
treaty was signed the next day.

Luminous Paint.

Until now the commercial manu-
facture of luminous paint has been con-
fined to England, where single factory
turns out small supply at a price of
about S. pound This enormous cost
seems to have prevented the use of the
paint except as a curiosity, but a firm
in Austria, has found means to produce
it and place it on the market at SOC a
pound or about one-sixth of the English
price. Even at SOC a pound a substance
composed of roasted oyster shells and
sulphur might, one would suppose, be
manufactured at a good profit, but at
that price it is likely to come into ex-
tensive use. Wherever it can absorb
light during the day, it will give it
forth at night, and it is said that a
railway car in England, which has had
its ceiling painted with it, was so bril-
iantly illuminated that one could see
to read newspaper in it during the.
darkest night, without other light.
With all due allowance for the en-
thusiasm of early perimenters, there
is no doubt that cars with ceilings so
painted would be pleasant to ride in,
whether one could really see to read in
them or not; and for making keyholes,
stairways and sign-boards luminous,
the paint would have advantages which
have been surprisingly little utilized.
Its application to stairways is a par
ticularly obvious one, and the Austrian
manufacturers furnish a kind of wall
paper on which the paint can be used
to better advantage than on the bare
plastering. The paper, which is of a
leathery texture, is first treated with
lime-water, and then primed with a
composition furnished by the same
firm. After this is dry, two thin coats
OF the luminous paint are applied, and
the whole may then be vanished.
