SPEAKER REED has adopted new
mode of securing a quorum in the
house, the enforcement Of which
has raised quite a rebellion among
the Democrats, who pronounce it
revolutionary. For the purpose of
determining whether quorum was
present it has heretofore been the
rule to decide from the number of
votes cast upon any proposition. A
member not voting, although pres
ent, was counted the same as absent.
The new rule determines the matter
of quorum by calling the roll, and
those actually present are so count
ed, whether they vote or not. A
very sensible rule, it occurs to US.

NATURES WONDERS.

ONE naturalist found over $4,000 eggs
in lobster, and another over q, 900.
An insect very similar to an ant has pro-
duced $4,000 eggs in single day, and
Leuwenhoeck seems to compute 4,OOO,-
600 to the crabs share.
THE great-crested fiy-catcher and sew
eral other birds adopt an exceedingly
novel method to brighten away other
birds or lizards that would prey
upon their eggs. They wind into their
nest one or more of the old skins which
have been shed by snakes, so that these
appear to be live snakes coiled about the
nests.
ACCORDING to naturalists a scorpion
will produce 65 young; a common fly
will lay IA eggs, leech $50 and a spi-
der 10. A hydrachna produces 600
eggs and frog LOO. A female moth will
produce 1, 100 eggs and a tortoise /, 900. A
gall insect haslaid so, 900 eggs; ashrimp,
5000, and 10, 900 have been found in the
ovary of an ascaris.
MANY fishes produce an incredible
number of eggs. More than 81, 900 have
been counted in herring, $4,000 in q
smelt, 1000, 900 in sole, 1,1SO, coo in a
roach, 5000, 900 in sturgeon, S42, 900 in
a carp, $685. in q tench, SAG, 900 in a
mackerel, 992, 900 in perch and 1857
900 in founder. But of all the fishes
hitherto discovered the cod seems to be
the most prolific.

Mrs. Matte P. Sullivan.

Mrs. Sullivan, whose death was men
toned last week, is well known to the
people of Wa-Keeney, having first come
among US as the bride of p. H. Sullivan
Of the Q. S. land Office, 10 July 1888, and
continued with him as his able and ac
complished assistant as contest clerk till
midsummer, 1889, when she suffered the
long and painful prOstration from which
she was finally restored by the unremit,
ting faithfulness and professional skill
OF her attending physician, DIR. A. B
Jones of this city.
. By reason of a change of administra-
ton Mr.. Sullivan severed his relation
with the q. S. land Office and himself and
wife returned, in November 1889, to
Richmond, Kentucky, their former home.
Mrs. Sullivan and her husband united
with the First Christian Church Of Wa
Keeney in May, 1889, and she was earnest
ly and devotedly attached thereto. She
was never more fervid and cordial in
her words of joyous expectation than
when lauding the services upon which
she was constant and faithful attendant
at the "old brown church in Wa-Keeney.
She loved life and assumed its duties
and labors with a willing and skillful
hand. But the "fitful fever" of her
earth life is over. Like a flower, the
sweetest fragrance Of which has gladden.
ed and blessed us, she has dropped by
the waters brink, ere the sun was half
way on its course in the day.
The cords that united her body aud
spirit are severed and the sweet song of
life, attended by their vibrations, is
hushed. The fair hand that was wont to
greet us, is stark and stiff Her bright
eyes luster has faded, her lips are mute
and cold! Oh Death! Foe, or friend? Thou
robbest us of our jewels, but not of bright
visions, or memories sweet! These are
ours till we meet again. To the lone and
desolate husband and others who mourn
for her we extend cordial sympathy.
Dark and stormy, though the pathway,
Bruised of foot and sore
Bright the vision of dear Matte,
Beckons heavens open door.
