FINALLY RECOGNIZED.

How D Missouri Senator Succeeded in
 Catching tho Speakers Eye.
 This bit of Missouri history is taken from Henry Georges Standard. The writer doesn't sign his name:
 Stilson Eutchins is wellknown news paper man of Washington He used to live in Missouri, and at ono time represented hl5 district in the Legislature, of which body he was elected the Speaker. There was in the same Legislature a member from another district-a man whom Hutchins had con- ceived @ prejudice against. This man want ed to bring up a bill in the interest of his constituency, but he never seemed to be able to catch the Speakers eye. Day after day he would wait until routine matters had been cleared away. when he would rise in his place, and, In tue peculiar Missouri high treble, address the presiding officer, but without receiving that recognition without which no mem per of a parliament. ary body can proceed. The member finally became tired of such treatment, and one morning after the House had been called to order he marched ill with a rifio on hls shoulder, which, when he reached his seat, he leaned up against h.5 desk. He Sat there quietly until he thought the routine busi- ness was about all disposed of, when he slowly picked up his rife and cooked It. When the last motion had been put and dis posed of our friend arose, placed his rife against his shoulder, drew Q bead on Speaker Hutchins and drawled out: 'sMr Speaker" There was 3 silence as of death in tho Assembly chambsT for few ma- ments, which was finally broken by the Speaker himself, who slowly and distinctly said: s'The gentleman from - has the floor" The member lowered his rifle, un7 cooked it., and then, as if nothing had hap pened, proceeded to lay his bill before, the

NOTES FOR NATURALISTS

THERE is a pond in New Jersey where the sacred lotus of the East has become estab- lished and proved itself hardy, although in the winter the surface of the wateris frozen over.
 TITMIcE, especially great-tits, are held in great horror by many bce-keepers who de- clare that they are their greatest enemies, and accuse them of tapping at the entrances to the hives and snapping up the bees as they come out to discover what is amiss.
 THE skin of the whale is from two inches to two feet thick, that of large specimen weighing thirty tons. The rhinoceros is the thickest skinned quadruped, with hide so tough as to resist the claws of tho lion or tiger, the sword or the balls of the old-fash- toned musket.
 A PLANT has been discovered in the forests of India which possesses in high degree astonishing magnetic power. The hand breaking off leaf receives shock, and magnetic needle is affected by it at the distance of six meters from the trunk. AT recent meeting of the Linnean Soc1- ety in England most extraordinary fruit was exhibited, the so-called miraculous berry, of West Africa belonging to the SapotaceB. Covered externally with soft, sweet pulp, it imparts to the palate sensa- tion which renders it possible to partake of sour substances and even of tartaric acid, lime juice, vinegar, and to g1ve them 8 flavor of absolute sweetness.
 JUST as the peregrine is the largest, so the merlin is the smallest of British resi- dent falcons. Although not much larger than thrush, this handsome little bird is full of dash and fire, and commonly attacks birds more than double it's weight. It has been known to pull down partridge, and it | is sometimes terribly destructive to young grouse. While nearly all of the diurnal British birds of prey build on rocks or trees, the merlin nests on the ground.
 ONE thing that never fails to interest all
 who see it when it is found on the mountain
 heights of the Slerras is the snow plant, known to botanists as the sarcodes san guinea, meaning blooded flesh. No flesh or
 blood could be so exquisitely beautiful. Imagine rosy and snow-tinted, crowned hyacinth, from eight to twenty inches in
 height, every miniature bell wound about by a rosy and frosted silver ribbon, all topped by huge head of asparagus in hoar- frost and silver.
 THERE is a little yellow bee in Honduras that is very much like the little yellow flies
 found about corn silks. The bees are with out stings, and the most industrious little insects imaginable. They build in hollows in trees and wherever they can find lodg- ment, and they gather double handful of
 honey of delicious flavor in these nests of
 rough comb. So plentiful are they that a
 person can take hatchet and cut into the
 knot hole in the trees and soon collect all the honey he wants without the danger ot
 being stung by the bees.

CONSUMPTION AND ITS CAUSE.

Dr Behrend, who has given the subject through the sale of meat from tubercu- Ious cattle quite as much as from the ex- posture of ones person to the elements that consumption is contracted. The fact of this communication of disease from animals to humans has been scien- tifcally proved by European physicians. But this is not the only part of the diff culty. 1t is impossible to detect tubercu- losis in the living animal unless almost at it's last gasp, so that the only way ill which diseased meat can be rejected as unfit for food is by the inspection of meat before it is given to the consumer. The pathologists of the New York board of health are as much alive to the prevention of tuber- culosis as are the European physicians.
 Dr Koch, government physician in Berlin, was the first person to make experiments which fully proved that the virtue of tuberculosis in animals could be communicated through the blood to Hldu. LIT D6uIGIu 1lStu DCCOAAC 11AlCASoC- ed in this subject prior to Dr koch's discovery, which was made public in 1882, and writes with a full command of the whole subject. The inference to be drawn from his statement of the facts is that consumption is very largely due to diseases that come from the use oi effected cattle for food. It is well known that inc Jews have very strict laws as to the eating of the naeat of diseased animals. This Is part Oi their religion, and to their care i'll this respect is to be traced much of the vitality of the Jewish race. Cases o1 phthisis are exceedingly rare among them. Their exemption is said by phy sicians to be something remarkable il modern life. Dr Behrend states that 1T Prussia half the Jewish population attain their fftieth year, while half thu Christians die by their thirty sixth; one fourth of the Hebrew inhabitants pass ing their seventy-frst year, while barely one-fourth among the Christians reacl their sixtieth. Enough is said by Dl Behrend to show that even in Europe where attention has been drawn very strictly to this matter, the inspection a present is utterly inadequate to proven the markets from being flooded witl unhealthy food, or to rescue such foo' from ''the sausage factory" It would be an instructive inquiry to know hoy far any adequate inspection is exercised respecting the meats which are brough to the east from Chicago and other west ern points where our beef is killed ant dressed for the market. It cannot b that the danger here is less than tn danger in Europe, and the fact that during period of six months, out of 1s 116 oxen slaughtered ill Loudon onl 6,973 were passed as coming up to tn admissible standard established by tn Jews, indicates that the danger of dis ease from butchers meat is sufficient serious to call for the safeguard of
 careful inspection.

THE Prince of Wales has been warned by his doctors that he has Brights disease and cannot live long. Those who have been informed of the latitudinous life which the Prince has led, most of the time, for the last thirty years, and of the rumored effects of it on his bodily health and condition, will not be much surprised that disorder which is apt to follow such free courses, and which the doctors do not yet know how to cure-a breaking down of the kidneys, which is not less breakingdown of the physical constitution generally-has at length in- cluded among it's ever-increasing multi tude of victims that politically import ant person, the heir apparent to the Brit ish throne. The Princes escapades are the repetition of an old story in the long and sometimes abruptly irregular line of the Kings of England, and it is not worth while here to dwell upon it.
