After the house adjounedfC Congress
man Belden, of NewrYork, brought,the
savel down with great.dignity'and call
ed the pages to order, writes Amos ].
Cummings. A page three feet high
moved that the house go into committee
Of h whole on the state Of the Union
for the consideration of a bill increasing
the salaries Of the employees of the house.
Belden put the question with the most
profound gravity and it was carried.
Thereupon the genial congressman call
ed the smallest page on the floor to the
chair, retired to his seat and enjoyed the
fun for an hour or more.
Then a tow headed page moved that
the committee rise and report the bill
favorably to the house. The motion
was carried, and Mr.. Belden again re-
sumed the chair. The three foot page
descended the steps and appeared at the
bar. BE reported the proceedings of the
committee with precision and dispatch.
Then the previous question was ordered.
the bill received its third reading and
was put upon its final passage. 1t was
carried. The little page gravely moved
to reconsider it and lay that motion upon
the table. There being no objection"
said Belden, sit is so ordered" Young
Dean Halford, a nephew of Whistling
Elijah, then moved that the house ad-
journ. This was carried, and Mr.. Bel
den gave the desk a parting whack and
received the congratulations of the pages.

Ever since Miss Edwards came to
America and lectured on Egypt and
made the fashionable woman feel that
the lady mummy had in her time been a
professional beauty, fond of dainty be-
longings and given topaint and rouge, to
sweetmeats and to writing books on the
complexion, there has been an immense
amount of interest in jewels, or rather
rs b woman learned on the subject is
fond of saying, gems" The finest gems
in New York are divided around among
b fashionable women. Mrs. Bradley
Martin sports a superb diamond tiara in
which she looks like the queen of Eng
land.
Mrs. Marshall o. Roberts owns the
finest pearls. You know she was a Miss
Endicott, blue blooded and poor. Years
ago she was coming back from abroad
and she met Mr.. Roberts, then a
widower, on the steamer. In time blue
blood and ducats united and the present
Mrs. Roberts is the result. The finest
Sapphires belong to the best bred lady In
New York--Mrs. August Belmont
though the finest single sapphire, a very
superb pendant, is in the possession of
Mrs. Willie Astor.
Mrs Willie Vanderbilt has a necklace
that duplicates that Of the Duchess of
Fife, a string of diamonds-which means
diamonds perforated exactly like pearls
and worn around the neck in the same
manner. The boring Of these diamonds
is a very difficult task and there is al
ways the chance of breaking the stone
before it is entirely finished. This adds
to the expense of such a necklace.

Monday morning at 8 O'Clock while,
the bathers at Avalon, N. j., were enjoy
ing a bath in the surf, which is permitted
below the hotel up to 9 o'clock in the
morning, alsrge school of porpoises made
a dash up the coast just behind the
breakers. There was over a hundred of
these slippery monsters, so hard to catch
in a net, and they never bite at any
known bait. A good sized porpoise will
devour a bushel of mossbunkers or a
young drumfish at a single meal, and
just now the surf is filed with small
drumfish feeding at food tide. The man
eating shark likes the same kind of diet,
and many a bloody conflict ensues be-
tween these robbers of the great deep
when they meet or common feeding
ground. In front of the hotel there is
considerable depth of water, and the por-
poises came 50 near that many of them
could have been reached with a fishing
rod.
Suddenly. as the school of porpoises
were tumblng over each other In play.
a four foot shark made q dash out OF the
water, pursued by a ten foot porpoise.
The porpoise succeeded In biting a piece
out Of b man-eater and made a vicious
piunSe at the shark In mid air. while the
sea became red with blood.
Both fish were in a duel to the death.
Neither tried to escape. The shark was
the swiftest in motion, but was an I'M
equal antagonist The porpoise would
dive under him and strike him in the
belly under water, to the great discom-
fort Of the man-eater, whose jaws were
not big enough to make much impress
SION on b tough hide Of the slippery
sea hog. Three times they met in mid
air, and struck each other as two bull
ellis butt each other with their antler.
The porpoise slowly retired ten feet,
and with the swiftness of lightning
struck h shark in the middle and rip
ped him open. The mAn-eater soon float
ed dead out on the sea, while the por-
poise, badly hurt, followed his compan-
ions up Townsend inlet.-Cor. Philadel-
phia Times.

Some time since Mrs. Carl Kimble, OF
No. A Kindel avenue, CAV birth to
twins. The doctors who were in attend
ance at the birth of the babes noticed
that they were exceptionally large and
well developed. Greatly to their sur
prise. upon examining one of the twins
1t was discovered that 1t possessed two
large lower front teeth, which are at
least an eighth of an inch in length and
perfectly formed. The teeth are of a
pearly wilderness, and look as natural Us
those of a child Q or 8 years old. This is
a rare occurrence, and a similar one has
never been recorded before. There, have
been cases where there was one tooth
when q single child was born, but never
before when there were twins.-Cincin-
matt Enquirer.

The Brooklyn health department has
found a use of n disease said to be rare
in this country. Its name is beriberi
and its home is India. One Of the char
acteristics of the disease Is drowsiness,
and on the African coast it is known as
''the sleeping sickness" In fatal cases
death generally results from exhaustion
or syncope. 1t Is not contagious in this
climate, and no danger is to be feared
from its appearance. The vehicle of its
westward journey was the ship ]. G.
Warus, from Macassar, in the Dutch
East Indies, which arrived at Brooklyn
Monday. A sick man on board was
taken to the Long Island College hos
pital, and DR.. Henry Bullwinkle learned
that on May 90 the captain, II. Warus,
died at sea, and that on June 10 81. Halt
man, the first mate, died. The man at
the hospital proves to have beriberi, and
DR.. Bullwinkle believes the other two
died from it.-Exchange.

A citizen of Alexandria, Egypt, named
Alexander T~agliaferro, has written to
the Worlds fair management i~nclosing
a photograph of a sarcophagus, which he
believes and claims to be that of Cleo
patra. he says it wa recently discov-
cred in Caesars camp, near Alexandria
After paying the Egyptian government
its dues the writer says he sold it to a
friend for speculation. When the sar-
cophagus was opened the contents fell in
ashes with the exception of the skeleton,
which is still preserved. Mr.. Tagliaferro
says he is prompted to negotiate with
the exposition authorities from notices
which he has seen in newspapers Of the
United States announcing hat the khe-
dive of Egypt has been asked by the di-
rectors of the exposition for the mummy
of Rameses. He begs to offer for sale
this sarcophagus and skelston for the
sum of Els, 900 sterling on the spot, the
inference being that the purchaser will
be required to pay freight. In explain
ing the features of this tomb he states
that the five faces on three sides are posi-
lively the images of Cleopatra.-Chicago

The angler should take care of his fish
after he has caught them. 1t is discredit-
able to fetch back a lot of sun and wind
dried fish, all curled up and stiff. Put a
handful of grass or ferns in the bottom
of the creel and kill the fish as soon as
caught by hitting them a sharp blow on
the back of the head. If the weather is
hot clean the mornings catch at noon,
and every few hours dip the creel in the
stream. The best way to keep fish to
take home is as follows: Clean them
thoroughly, taking care to remove the
gills and the blood under the backbone,
wipe dry inside and out, but do not wash
them; sprinkle them inside with black
pepper; but on no account use salt.
Pack in cool, fresh grass and keep them
in the shade. If ice is used it should be
put In n tin can, or at least at the bottom
of the creel, for it spoils the flavor of
fish to have them soaking in water

AQUATIC SPORTS.

The Triton Boat club, of Newark, N. J.,
Is much elated over the success of its four
cared crew at the Peoples regatta at Phil
adelphia on July4. Tho arrangements are
already well under way to lave not only
their present winning crew but other rep
resentatives of the club present at the Ma
tional regatta on Lake Quinsigamond. at
Worcester, Mass, on Aug. IL.
The contests for the amateur swimming
championships of America will be held in
the vicinity of New York city during
August. The events will be 100 yards and
i mile. Last year w. @. johnson, of the
Varuna Boat club, won the former and A
Meffert, of the Manhattan Athletic club,
captured the latter. Boil are in training
now for the events they excel in, but indi-
cations are that more competitors will be
on hand this time than ever before for the
ten years the fixture has been held. Both
johnson and Meffert now belong to the
Manhattans.
Herman Braun, who formerly represent
ed the Pastime Athletic club, and who was
first in the 100 yard race for four years up
to 1888, may be a competitor this year un-
der the colors of the New York Athletic
club.
The list of honor men at Cambridge uni
versity of England this year includes sew
eral oarsmen and athletes who have won
victories for their college this year.
Concerning william O'Connor's defeat
by Stansbury, the Australian, in their re-
cent scull race for the worlds champion
ship, many prominent oarsmen are of the
opinion that O'Connor could not have
been at his best, owing to the feeling of I'M
certainty he has had since his arrival in
Australia concerning a fair match. O'Con-
nor has said that there had been more
dickering and small play in the Antipodes
In regard to any one rowing him than he
had ever before seen.
Professor Cation. the celebrated swim
ming instructor of Dublin, Ireland, advises
people who are teaching others to swim to
sit in a punt or on a rock with a stout stick
10 or Is feet in length, at the end of which
is a cord with 4 feet or 80 of loops. The
learner puts himself into the loops, and the
teacher plays him as a fisherman would
play a fish In water that is well out of his
depth, giving hin just enough support to
keep him up. After a few lessons many
boys require no support at all, and swim
with the rope dangling slack about them.
They can then shift for themselves.

A gentleman whose name should be
handed down to perspiring posterity as
the greatest benefactor of the summer of
1890 walked down Broadway at the
hottest hour of the hottest day last week.
He was only a tramp, and an awful
specimen OF his kind at that, but he
wore a heavy hooded ulster, buttoned
from his chin to his toes, with such a
delightful air Of ease and comfort that
he sent a grateful chill, worth at least
twenty-five cents to each recipient, down
the spines of fully 10000 sweltering pc
destrians.-New York Times.

Here are a few amusing blunders that
have just occurred in examinations in
Boston public schools: One little girl
said that 'in 1920 the Pilgrims came to
Massachusetts, for the purpose of fight
ing the battle of Bunker Hill" Another
said: ''In 1889 William Penn explored
Pennsylvania with a crew of Quakers."

P. o. Sullivan, who lives about six
miles above the junction of the Middle
and South Fork of Boise, on the former,
killed a black bear with a knife. He
had followed the bear for several miles.
1t lay down beside a rock, and Sullivan
crept up to it and plunged a big knife
into a vital part. George Alexander,
who is q neighbor, and saw the bear

killed. The sailor blouse is made Of
blue serge or flannel, and trimmed by
having white collar and vest front with
graduated braid, and the hats have
panaches of blue and white striped rib
bon Altogether n useful style, which,
with the exception of the hat, is made
the same for boys and girls.
Larger girls wear dainty little cofored
chambray or gingham dresses garnished
with self colored Hamburg embroidery,
with no other trimming except a sash
without ends, and maybe a postiche bow
or SO ON the shoulders.
One of the innovations is for children
to wear short socks, or stockings which
are black or dark brown on the lower
part and flesh color above. This gives
an appearance of GOODNESS greatly TO be
desired. Many of the children, even lit
tie girls Of 8, wear their stockings half
high, the rest Of them being rolled in a
compact little ridge, after the manner of
the Scotch.
Boys of @ to 10 wear a sort of modified
Fauntleroy suit, with knee brooches,
tied with bows and short ends Of velvet
ribbon, and a sailor blouse waist with
velvet trimmings, and n velvet sash tied
in loops without ends. The long sash
ends interfere greatly with a boys ac-
tivity, therefore they are discarded here.
Blouse suits are worn by boys of all
ages, from those in kits to those of Is.
Blue and snuff brown are the favorite
colors for ordinary wear, but there is a
new gray which is very much liked
for full dress. This gray has a kind of
an ashen surface, which is very soft and
contrasts well with the velvet with
which it is always trimmed in the mat
ter Of collars, revers and cuffs and fire.

Nurses have their fashions, too, and
this season it is to have wide bows Of
poppy red ribbon, and long ends, to their
caps, and their aprons have little red
bows on the pockets. 1t is a mark Of
quality for a family to have a pretty and
exquisitely neat, not to say coquettish
looking bonnie. The dress is invariably
black.
Long hair flowing loose is almost uni
versal for children of all ages, and few
boys under the age of 10 wear their hair
cropped, a fashion which renders the
Partisan children the pretty creatures
that they are.
