There was something like row in the Senate

went through the lobby like . cyclone

sturdy, silent man, but he would not bulge.
He defed the cyclone, defed the Senate.
There was great growing, and IL looked -

The appeal was carried 10 Mr.. Ingalls,, and he

Composition of Ou.cksand.

Quicksand is found i'll nearly all parts of the country, but ill very great quantity along the Platte river ill Nebraska. It is composed principally of mica, or small particles of rock disintegrated from large bodies of rock and subjected to continuous washing pro cess. Tho water removes all the ragge>lncss or angular shape from the particles The fragments become smooth and sli,ny and slip upon each other with the greatest facil- ity, so that any heavy weight rest ing upon this sand causes the particles to be displaced They separate from the center, allowing the weight to sink until solid basis is reached. When particles of sand are ragged and an gular any weight pressing on then, will crowd them together until they are com pactcd into solid mass. 4 sand composed of mica or soapstone mixed with water seems incapable of such consolidation.

Justice Gray's Toast.

i few days ago, while crowds of hungry people were streaming into the restaurant of the United States senate, soon after noon, a number of patrons of the place were aston !shed to hear a waiter calling out in an inn perative tone of voice; Bread for Justice Cray's toas," The order was odd enough to justify passing curiosity. A moment after it had been shouted over the counter by the waiter, Mr. Page, the manager of the place, rushed behind the lunch laden shelf, stooped to find u pantry, and then bent over a task that could not be delegated to an appren- ticc. From very nice loaf of bread he cut four CT five slices, each as thin as very thin wafer. These were laid carefully upon platter and shot down the dumb waiter to the cook shop below, while Mir. Page explained to a curious patron that Justice Gray would not have lis toast any thicker than he had cut it, and that he was so critical that he could tell at once If any beaiy except the proprietor had cut it. The bi.; iustice-he is the largest man of the w.!oe beEch-does not lunch on toast aici.c.

OUT IN THE GOLD.

Turned out in the somber twilight. Out into the bitter cold, And the pitiless sieet as it sweeps the street Is piercing her garments old, And the babe on her breast is crying, And her little ones, clust'r1ng round In a vague alright at the falling night, Are cutching her tattered gown For the rent was not forthcoming, And how could the landlord wait; And what did ho know, of her want and woe .As early she toiled and later H.' couldn't be losing his money It's only tic way of the world!- And why should he care if she crouches there Mid the storm kings wrath unfurleds She has scwed in the dawnins sunrise, Sho has stitched in the gath ring gloom. And her eyes have grown dim and her fingers
 thin
 As Ghe worked In her drcGry room But the pay was very meaSer, And the mouths were many to fill, And the fathcrly hccrt lay far apart h the grave yard on tho hill So shc stands in the dcep'ning darkness. And Der tired and aching head Is throbtins with pain and the sud refrain c: her childrens cry for bread And she sees tho laughing inaders lid" past in their robes of fur, Ard t,io city is bright with it's mansions tonight But there's never home for her.

MARVELLOUS INTELLIGENCE.

"Now, Baby" said the trainer, "get down on your knees and say your prayers" As he said this he gently touched the knees of the pet, who soon dropped down with her nose on the floor. "Amen!' cried the doctor, and Baby quickly rose. He then started her across the stable and touched her knee again with the whip. Of course she held that foot up and walked lame. Then he took the whip away and made her do it alone.
 Baby lie down and make believe you're dead," commanded the trainer. The Baby knew what was wanted, but as the trick had been learned only the day before she was some time in complying with the request. She finally got down and stretched out her head at full length and closed her eyes. The doctor then walked off and said he was going to call dead wagon for her. Then he said he was going to get policeman to shoot her, but she would not move Suddenly he cried, ''The barn is on fire" At this the little one jumped quickly to her feet and, after run ming about the stable and finding there was no fire, returned to the spot and dropped down again. The doctor then wont to her and said, Baby, if you are alive, roll over on the other side and then get up." The lit tie mare did so and quickly regained her feet.
 Baby Bunting was then taught a new trick, which is one of the hardest for horse to learn. It was to hold 0 dinner bell in her mouth and to ring it when so commanded. At first she would not close her teeth at all, but after great deal of patience on the part of the doctor she managed to keep her teeth closed. Then the doctor placed his hand on her head, and by simply scratching it @ little Baby shook her head and rang the bell. The doctor then lay down on his back, and calling Baby to him commanded her to walk over him. This she did, trembling in every limb for fear of injuring him. If she had fallen on him he would not have been hurt.-New York World
