The CoNGREssI ,NAL LIBRARY RULES
The families of national Legislators and
officials seem to read an immense number
of books. The daughters are especially
voracious. They will go to the library
at 10 in the morning and keep an assis
tant busy until late in the afternoon look
ing up books for them, which are car
ried to their homes by men servants
whom they bring with them for that
purpose. They repeat the programme
the next week. 1t is evident that they
could not read tenth of these books,
aud the fact is they do not. They lend
them to their friends whose fathers are
non official, and, therefore, have not the
free privileges of the library. This is
against the rules. But rules are flexible
for those connected with the government
whirl at Washington. That is, be it dis
tinctly understood, while they are in the
whirl. For those who are not, the rules
are as the laws of those much quoted

Pathetic UnseIfishness,

L remember being taken by my
mother when was child to see a
poor woman who was dying of a can
Ger. The disease was eating its way
to Il vital part, and the doctor had
given ner month as her utmost limit of
life. She was preparing for her end in
way that seemed practical and prosaic
enough, but that struck me as pathetic
in its self-forgetfulness. She was sitting
up in bed, with basket beside her,
finishing up the family mending,
showing her eldest daughter-on whose
13-yearold shoulders the burden of the
household care was soon to fall-how
to fell down seams in her little brothers
knee patches. and how to darn the heel
of fathers sock so that he would never
feel the difference. She had impressed
upon the girl how to make her fathers
favorite potato pone, how to manage
her young sister when she got into the
sulks, what to do for her father when
he had his periodical lit of cramps,
and everything else she could think
of that would insure comfort in the
humble home she was leaving. She
had all the work planned which she
would do during the short span of life
that was given to her. Her burial
clothes were folded away in a drawer
with sweet basil leaves among them.
| was reminded of the incident by
reading in the paper recently of man
in Milwaukee who is preparing for
something that is even more terrible
than death-insanity. He viii be
violently insane in few weeks, and
he knows it. Some time ago his skull
was fractured; a gristle is fast forming
about the cracked edges, which viii
surely press upon the brain and make
him maniac. He talks calmly and
nationally of his approaching fate, and
spends every moment of his brief term
of sanity in making provision for his
family when he shall no longer be able
to take care of them. 1t is situation
worthy the pen of novelist like
Daudet. YORK. Fashion Bazar.

SEA ANCHORS. -Experiments have late
~ been tried at Dover with so called sea
anchor, invented by Capt. Waters. This
apparatus consist of canvas bag about
four feet in diameter and five feet deep,
with either a strong hoop to hold it open
or square bolted frame to answer the
same purpose, The bag is attached to a
beam, or float, in such manner that it
lies just below the surface of the water,
and stout rope forms the connection
between it and the bow of the vessel en-
ploying il. The object of this sea snch-
or is to bring boat or ships head to the
sea when in danger of laundering from
getting broadsde toward the waves.
There is nothing very new in the idea,
for such q contrivance has frequently
been extemporized with advantage. Tie
vetran aeronaut, Green, also construct
ed an anchor to hold balloon near the
surface of the sea, which was almost
Identical in form to this one.

BEAUTIFUL EYES.

A little boy once asked visitor whose
bright eyes attracted his admiration,
"Ars your eyes new ones?" and the
childish question was as high a comph-
ment As that of the Irish IaboreI who re
qusted the Duchess of Devcnshire to
let him light his pipe by her eyes. Some
rarely beautiful orbs are so wonderously
clear, scntiilating light like gems, that
such questions are not difficult to under.
staud.
What color 10 the eyes is best entitled
to the claim of beauty has never definite
ly settled, as some people prefer one
color and some another; but while really
beautiful eyes are beautiful in any color,
brown and blue, especially the so called
''violet, ara perhaps the most popular.
Various accessories go to make the
beauty of an eye, such as large, well
fringed lid, white, but with suggestion
of tint like the palest sea shell, long
thick lashes shadowing the cheek, and
well defined arched eyebrows. SO i'm
portapt are the adjuncts that they will
give beauty to the eyes that are In them
selves quite commonplace. The position
of the eyes has much to do with the i'm
preston they produce, as, if too near to-
gether or too far apart, there is lack of
symmetry about the whole face.-H

Captured BY a Blind Detective.

There used to be a young man who
sold cigars at a stand on Winter street
or Whereabouts. Ordinarily the sales
were of single cigars or small pack
ages of cigarettes, and the dealer, being
expert in the handling of coins, had no
difficulty in making change. Some
times paper money would be given him
and then the blind man had to trust
the honor of his patrons not to give
counterfeits. One day man came to
him who wanted to buy lot of cigars.
and offered s. note in payment. The
blind man trusted his honesty, took
the s. bill, and gave what change was
due him in silver. The bill proved to
be counterfeit. Some time afterward
the swindler, feeling secure in the
inability of the dealer to identify him,
came back to the blind mans stand and
bought cigar
Il should think" he said nonchal-
antly to the dealer, ''that you'd some
times have counterfeit money passed
on you.n

would impose on poor blind man like
me-"

had thrown him off his guard. 'tEvi-

succeeded in passing the bill, and no.
body discovered that it was bad till it
got into the third or fourth hands. So
here's chance to get him again"

aloud, nobody would come such a
game on you. By the way, L got lot
of cigars of you while ago that were
good. Got any more of the same
sort?"
"Yes, SIR"

exclaimed. Help! THEIR

HIS WIFE HELPED HIM. know one

necessary to keep two of his elder child
rem from school that they might help
him out with his Office seeking CORES

senator, recently reelected for six years
threw up his hands in despair as the
perspirating mail carrier threw upon his
desk another huge bundle of letters, and
declared he would not write another
reply or waste another postage stamp
on the horde of place hunters. His wife
knew this would never do, for a senator

days of power are at once numbered. So
this good wife said to her despalring
lord, "You go ard take walk. The air
will do you good: and while you are
gone will look over the mail" When
the senator returned lie found the letters
opened and nicely assorted. In one pile
were those which demanded immediate
attention; in another those which could
lay over few days, and in third those
which could in a pinch be altogether
neglected. This bit of feminine order

Jerry Rusk as a Warrior.

The fact that Uncle Jerry Rusk is to
be the head of the new agricultural
department., remarks a writer for the
Washington Post, reminds me of a
characteristic episode in his career as
governor of tie state of Wisconsin.
Uncle jerry was ex-officio commander
in-chief of the capital of that state,
and had authority over all the rooms
except those actually occupied by the
legislature.
One of the best rooms on the ground
floor had been occupied for many years
as the headquarters of the State Fair
association. but was never used except
for few weeks every fall preceding
the annual pumpkin show. The legis-
lature having appointed a railroad
commission, as was done in Illinois
and Iowa, it became necessary to find
them quarters, and Uncle Jerry mott
fled the old gentleman who serves as
secretary of the State Fair association
and was in the habit of going to this
room to smoke his pipe and read his
newspapers that he would have to va
cate. The latter declined to do so, and
acted as if he owned the capitol.
The governor went upstairs to his
Office and wrote an official letter to
the state fair board informing them
that they must vacate for the railroad
commission. The board was called
together, and after discussing the SUBJ
ject at length and in most solemn
manner resolved to decline the invita-
ton. Uncle Jerry was sitting at his
desk in the governors office when the
answer was brought to him. He read
it. and there shone in his eve the same
fire that Illuminated them at the time
of the anarchist riots. Ringing his
bell and calling all the the janItors and
porters in the building to his side he
gave the word of command, Follow
me- Down to the headquarters of the
fair association he led the valiant host,
and in about three minutes all the
desks, and tables, and big ears of corn,
and mammoth pumpkins were thrown
into the street. That was the kind of
Il governor he was.
