Congressman Tom Reed, of Maine was
second ballot for Speaker of the House Of
Representatives, and was elected when Con-
greSS opened.
Mr.. Reeds career has been a somewhat I'M
eventful one, being marked by little beyond
his steady political promotion. He was born
in the OLD seaport city of Portland on the
18th of October, 1899 He was educated at
Bowdoin College, at Brunswick, Maine.
where he graduated at the age Of twenUy-one
This was i'll the year preceding the out
break of the Civil Nar, and during the first
part Of that conflict Mr.. Reed was engaged
in the study of law. In 1864, however, on
the 18th OF April he accepted an appoint
ment as acting assistant paymaster in the
United States navy, al office which he CON
tinued to hold for more than eighteen
months.
On leaving the navy in November 1865
after the close OF the war, Mr.. Reed returned
to his legal studies, and was soon afterward
admitted to the bar Of his native State. He
commenced to practice his profession III
Portland; but he took so active an interest
in public affairs, and his talents drew
aim SO rapidly to the front. that with
ann law soon became subordinate to
politics. In 1858 he was elected to the Maine
House Of Representatives, and after SERVING
for two years i'll that body became a member
OF the State Senate in 1870 Then for three
successive years he was Acknowledgement Of
Maine, and for four more years City Solicitor
Of Portland
He was first elected to the National Logis-
lature in 1876 when the First District of his
State chose him as its representative in the
Forty-ffCh Congress. He has been at Wash
mgtOn continuously from that time. and is
now the foremost Republican member of the
lower house.

To Start a Balky Horse.

Boston Post.
was attracted yesterday by a con-
siderable gathering of people in down
town street, occasioned by balky horse
which even the policeman himself could
not persuade to move on" All kind of
plans were tried. First, about dozen
men showed the wagon behind: but even
then. by firmly planting his fore feet,
the determined beast managed to resist
progression, although | thought the
breeching would burst An old piece of
cloth was then tied over his eyes, and,
after short pause, he was gently re-
quested to proceed, but he stood still,
and the crowd ceered. Next a rather
consequential person came forward.
and, standing on tiptoe, so that he could
reach the horses ear, whispered
into his ear something which he
evidently thought would have an instan-
taneous and miraculous effect: but the
animal was deaf to this siren, and the
consequential person skunk off, pursued
by The sarcasms of a bootblack. The
driver was now in rage, which vented
itself IN blows and imprecations. But
just as he was passing from this condi-
ton into one of stony despair, quiet
young fellow waved him aside, unhar-
messed the horse, took him out Of the
shafts, and after leading him across the
street and back, reharnessed him and
handed the reins TO the driver. who now
drove off without the least trouble. The
expedient was simple but effective, and
it suggests, believe, the true philosophy
of the balky horse. The effort should
be not to overcome his fixed idea Of
standing still, but to supplant that no.
ton by diverting his attention to some
thing else.

Observation-Disclosures, etc. Now
if we reckon twenty-five years to gen.
Grafton, and carry on the above calcu-
lation to the time Of William the Con-
queror of England, it will be found that
each living parSon must have had at
that time even the enormous number OF
ing we makethe usual allowance for the
crossing or in termarrying of families IN
genealogical line, and for the same
person being IN many OF the lntersec-
tons Of the family tree, still there will
remain a number at that period even to
cover the whole Norman and Anglo-Sax-
on races. What, therefore, might have
been pious, princely, kingly or aristocrat-
ic, stands side by side in line with the
most ignoble, plebeian or democratic.
Each man Of the present day may be
certain of having had, not only barons
and 'squires, but even crowned heads,
dukes, princes or bishops or renowned
generals, barristers, physicians, etc.,
among his ancestors.
In view of these facts, that every per-
son of ordinary intelligence ought to
know, the craze Of American women of
reputed intelligence and refinement to
marry some titled parsonage from the
eastern hemisphere, without regard to
or social standing, is prob
em hard of solution. Not one in a
dozen of such alliances but results in
misery if not ruin and disgrace to the
weaker of the contracting parties.

Fresh milk boiled with cut sugar will
soothe cough when other things fail.
A salye of equal parts of tar. tallow and
salt is said to cure the worst case of felon.
For pain in the chest that threatens to
be pneumonia, make plaster of soft
soap and hot Indian meal mush. To
cure toothache pulverIze about equal
parts OF common salt and alum. Get as
much cotton as will fill tooth, damp it,
put in the mixture and place it in the
tooth. Cut fig once or twice in two,
put 1t in a cup, pour boiling water on it,
let it stand till cool, not cold; then battle
the eye with the water quite frequently.
1t is good for Stye on the eye. If
nail or thorn is stuck into the
foot or hand hold the wounded part in
the smoke of burned wooden rag for
twenty minutes and the pain will be re-
ieved and case of lock jaw in all prob
ability prevented. To stop bleeding at
the nose apply cloth wet in cold water
to the back of the neck and make a roll
of strip of paper an inch and half
wide, about as thick as pipe stem and
press it well up under the upper lip and
let it remain until the hemorage ceases,
which will be but a short time. A most
excellent fly paper is made by melting
together in the proportion of two to one
in quantity, common pine rosin and cas-
tor oil and spread thin coating of the
mixture on piece of tough manila
paper. 1t is not only equal to the best
in effectiveness, but is absolutely harm
less. When covered with flies put it in
the stove and you are rid OF the whole
business in an instant.
The ordinary method of scraping or
burning off old paint is hardly expedi-
tious enough for general purposes and is
also laborious. Soda and quick lime are
far hlore thorough. The solution of half
of each is thus made: Dissolve the soda
in water and then add the lime and ap-
ply with brush to the old paint, which
can thus be removed in few minutes.
