while in the building, and IL was not until
two or more knocked against Mr. Cleveland
that he recognized that he was no longer in
the rain storm and lowered the umbrella.
Ex-President Cleveland remained in the
presidents room about five minutes and then
joined President Harrison in the vice presi-
dents room. The entire party again formed
in the procession and departed by the exit
doors OF the senate through which they
came. President Harrison, leaning on the
arm of Senator Hoar, however, took the first
instead of second place, which they occupied
when they arrived at the capitol. Next came
ex-Presidcnt Cleveland, attended by Senator
Cockrell, followed by Senator Cullom. Fri
vate Secretary HafOrd, attended by General
George b. Williams, brought up the rear.
While the procession was moving through the
corridors Senator Edmunds met MIR Cleveland
and greeted him with great cordially. Mr.,
Reed, of Maine, also exchanged pleasant
salutations with the retiring executive.
Deafcning cheers ana demonstrations of ap-
plause again greeted the party as they de
sccnded the senate steps and continued until
they were seated in their carriages and took
their places in the procession, which immed-
lately began to move.

WAsuISGroN, March 4-The doors of the
senate were reopened at 80 this mornn e.
The conference report on the sundry civil
bill having been presented ana agreed to, the
doors were closed, and the senate took re-
cess until half past q.
The senate chamber was metamorphosod
during the recess which ended NJ 9:30. Seats
We're re served on the floor for Cleveland,
Harrison, Morton, ex-President Hayes, ex.
Vice President Hamlin, state governors, dip.
lomatic corps the supreme court, etc. The
galleries were rapidly filling at 0:45 o'clock
when word came that the house was excited
over the refusal OF senate employees to admit
the families of representatives to the gallery
on the ground that forged tickets had been
issued and sold al S25 TO $50 each The house
passed resolution directing the sergcant-at-
arms TO force passage to the galleries 1t
docs not appear that any fraudulent tickets
were issued though some genu inc ones were
sold when the house resolution was presented
in the senate at III o'clock. Mr.. Edmunds
adroitly settled the matter by moving acQui-
essence in the resolution, with the proviso
that the president of the senate might pre-
scribe regulations respecting thGsScntity of
ticket holders. This was agreed to.
Hannibal Hamlin, the venerable ex-vice
president, was escorted TO seat at the right
OF the president pro TEN, MT. lnBallS. AS ne
moved across the chamber he was greeted
with u generous clappng of hands, the first
demonstration of the day.

A Scene of Marvellous Beauty and
Gorgeous MagnificGnce.

WAsHINGToS, March 4.-The great court
of the pension building is tonight ablaze
with light and color, and TO the seductive
music of great orchcstras thousands glide
through the movements of the dance or stroll
in the corridors and promenades, admil1ng
and contributing to the marvellous beauty of
the scene The court of the new pension
building is undoubtedly the largest and
grandest interior of its kind on this CONT
nent, and in respect OF symmetrical beauty 1t
has few superiors in the world. The area Of
the tessalated tile floor is about ~, 600 square
feet, or very nearly an acre. -Four
years ago, when the first inaugura-
ton ball was held here, the
then unfinished condition OF the building
was rendered highly effective, but decofa-
tion was exceedingly dinicult and iu soute

To Restore Worn Clothing.

The mystery to many people how the
scourers of old clothes can make them
look almost as good as new Is explained
in The American Analyst as follows:
Take, for instance, shiny old coat, vest
or pair of pants, Of broadcloth, cassi-
mere or diagonal. The scourer makes a
strong, warm soapsuds and plunges the
garment into 1t, souses it up and down.
rubs the dirty places, IL necessary puts
1t through a second suds, then rinses IL
through several waters, and hangs 1t to
dry ON the line. When nearly dry, he
takes it In, rolls itup for an hour or two,
and then presses it. An old cotton cloth
is laid ON the outside of the coat, and
the iron passed over that until the
wrinkles are out; but the iron Ia. removed
before the steam ceases to rise from the
goods, else they would be shiny.
Wrinkles that are obstinate are re-
moved by laying wet cloth over them
and passing the iron over that. II any
shiny places are seen they are treated as
the wrinkles are--the iron Ia lifted,
while the full cloud Of steam rises and
brings the nap up with it. Cloth should
always have suds made specially for
II, as If that which has been used for
white cotton or wooden clothes lint will
be left in the water and cling to the
cloth. In this manner we have known
the same coat and pantaloons to be re-
newed time and again, and have all the
, look and feel Of new garments. Good
broadcloth and its fellow cloths will bear
many washings, and look better every
time because of them.

Strange fashions are not confined to
our own age or country. Holinshed the
famous and amusing chronicler of the
Sixteenth century, comments severely
upon the manners of the English of his
day. He tells us that ''in number of
dishes and changes of meat the nobility
of England (whose cooks are for the
most part Frenchmen and foreigners) dc
most exceed; till there ID no day in man
ner that passeth over their heads where
In they have not only beef, mutton, veal,
lamb, kid, pork, cony, capon, pig, or 50
many Of them as the season yieldeth, but
also some portion of the red and fallow
deer, besides variety OF fish and wild
fowl. and thereto sundry other DELEGATES
wherein the sweet hand OF the sea faring
Portingale Is not wanting, SO that for a
man to dine with one Of them and to
taste of every dish that standeth before
him, is rather to yield unto a conspiracy
with great deal of meat for the speedy
suppression Of natural health than the
use of a necessary meal to satisfy himself
with competent repast to sustain his
body withal." Much the same fashion
is kept up to this day, and public ban
quets and the sumptuous tables OF the
opulent abound in all that can charm
the eye and tempt the palate, and, let
me add, lay the foundation Of long and
severe illness. How strange the con-
trast between this reckless profusion and
the simplicity of some medieval saint,
whose diet was spare and plain to de-
gree. or Of him, greater than any Of the
prophets, who did his glorious life work
on sparing allowance of locusts, wild
honey and waterl--Cornhil Magazine.

We witnessed the most perfect mirage
we ever saw ON the Laramie plains
Tuesday evening. It was about an hour
before sunset, and looking out OF car
window we saw about a mile away q
beautiful lake. 1t was in slight de-
preston among the hills, and seemed to
be about two miles long by mile wide.
Never having noticed lake at that
place on the road, we were considerably
astonished, and asked the conductor for
an explanation. He was equally aston
ished, as were passengers familiar with
the road AS the train advanced the
lake appeared to enlarge and rise, but In
spite of this it was difficult TO believe
the appearance was simply that optical
delusion known as mirage, and that
what appeared to be lake was a grassy,
level plain. The apparent lake was as
smooth and bright as mirror, except at
one edge, where it appeared to be ruffied
by the wind The strange sight was
viewed with wonder by hundreds of pas
sengers until it was out of sight Rock

crusted with diamonds.

The Buddhists in Burmah do not CON
slider the question Of expense in beauti-
flying their temples. Here is the descrip-
ton of the new vane of O pagoda at
Rangoon: "The vane is about three feet
by one and half feet broad, and thickly
crusted with precious stones and lovely
fans of the red Burmese gold. One ruby
alone is worth 5000 rupees, and there
are several hundred rubies alone on this
beautiful thing On the tip of the iron
rod on which works the vane is richly
carved and perforated gold ornament
called the Semboo. 1t is somewhat egg
shaped and foot In height, tipped by an
enormous diamond encircled by many
smaller ones crusted on like barnacles.
All over this exquisite oval object are
similar clumps of diamonds, no other
stone being used for this part."--St.
Louis Globe-D Democrat.

MILES eAeIEs,


Six littae timid kittens,
Out in the cold alone,
Their mother is always gadding about,
And brings them not even bone;
She's on in the morning early,
Shes OF till late at night;
A mischievious selfish old pussy,
That never does anything right
The kittens are always hungry,
They're too timid to catch mouse,
And their mother is such an old gadder
They won't keep her In any house.
She never petted nor played with them.
Nor washed them nice and clean,
Such six little dirty faces
I'm sure have never seen;
Six little sad sad kittens,
All sitting In row,
Cold and hungry and dirty,
From tip of each nose to each toe.
Twelve little ears and six little tails
Hanging and dropping low.
So out on the steps l found them,
Sitting all In row.
And Mile begged hard to keep them,
And fed them and washed them so clean
Such six bright, cunning kittens
I'm sure have never seen

Pigeon Flying,

Pigeon flying is one of the delights OF
the Black country, and u Birmingham.
Eng, paper gives curious account OF
it. 1t is passion with the working
men, and it takes some of them com
pletely away from their work. With
the majority, however, it is no more than
the ordered pastimes of the first day of
the week. 1t has developed quite new
branch of railway traffic in the district.
1t is the practice of flyers to send their
birds In baskets, addressed to the station
master at particular station, with the
request that he will release them, mark
on the label the time they were released
and return the basket What is most
singular is that this is regularly done.
An important traffic has grown up in
this way, with tariff for pigeon baskets
and returned empties. Railway COM
panies at first set their faces against it.
but finally took more enlightened view
Of their own interests and of the wants
of their customers. They were probably
influenced by the consideration that the
officials rather liked the work. In cloudy
weather porters have been known to
feed birds three days before setting them
free. The only inconvenience is that.
where bird fails to reach his destina-
ton, the obliging official is sometimes
accused of being "got att by a rival
flier. This suggests certain democrat
izing tendency in the pastime, and the
suggestion may be confirmed by the re-
vival of well worn anecdote. An aged
penitent, who had loved pigeon flying
not wisely but too well. was assured by
his ghostly comforter on his death bed,
that they would both meet in better
place with wings to their backs. The
dying man suddenly forgot his anxietiei
in the ribald offer to "ay" the parsor
for sovereign when they arrived.
