THE ADVANCE in the price Of champagne is
one OF the results " hich will have the effect of
still further reducing the indiscr inmate con-
sumptlon or the politicians favorite beverage.
The custom of "op- ming bottle of wine at tbs
bar for a casual drink mas gro vn more and more
into diSuSe DUNG the past few years. and the
increase in the cost Of champaign will still fur
ther discourage one OF TIE most revered Gus
toms OF politicians and men about town. There
IS a good deal of difference between 81 IS and
s. p. Hjtel men decided even before the
tarln bill was lassed that there was no
money in champagne for them even at s. u
pint and 50 80 quart, and there is a strong
probability that the prices viii be lifted so az

TIE QUESTION OF Clsopatra's beauty is an old
one, but has been brought into fresh promi-
nence by Sardou's Cleopatra" and Mrs
LangtTy's revival of Shakespeares play. The
only authentic portrait of Cleopatra that is
known TO archaoiogists is a bust which APP
pears on a series OF coins. 1t is on the reverse,
and bears the inscription in Greek, "Qusen
Cleopatra, the Divine, the Younger while on
the diverse is portrait of Antony, Dictator
for the Third Time, Triumvir" The workman
ship OF the coin is tar from good,
and this accounts in some measure for
the undenio6ly plain appearances OF the
queen. Yet the likeness. a. far as the
features go, is q true one. for the other coins
OF IL same series, though of a different type,
give her the same featureS-an aGuilne nose, a
strong chin, long neck. and narrow shoulders.
The fact that her beauty was not 50 remarkable
as one would think from the spell she cast over
Caesar and Antony. Plutarch, for instance,
tells US that her beauty in itself was by no
means incom paraole nor calculated to amaze
those who saw her, but adds that the mag
netic charm of her manner, the gracefufness OF
her movements the persua ieenesS Of her con-
versatlon, and her figure were most attractive.
THE EASTERN PEOPLE says western SEN
stor, scarcely realize what political upturn-
ing there was out in Kansas last election, but
when the new Eel ows who have BEEN chosen to
congress get to the national capital there will
be some fun. One OF them is a Methodist
preacher by the name of Baker, who can talk
louder and longer than any man west of the
Mississippi river. He used to be q school
teacher in one Of the back Kansas Counties and
IS one of u e best shots In the state. He is a
boxer of no mean ability, a go "a all-around
athlete and one OF the red hot advocates OF
advanced granger do tri es. He never was
heard of in politics before last fan, but he will
be Leard in congress, for in voice and persist
eucy he VIII surpasS any man on the floor.
Then there is John Davis Their is something
peculiar out his election. He is an out-and
out socialist, and the only man OF his oDini ions
who will have a sea: in the House. He is a sort
of falf editor of turbulent s0calistic labor
organ at Junction City. aud for the last ten
years has been doing scarcely anything excent
running for congress and getting defeated by
enormous major ties This time joan has
landed on top, aud before the Fffty-second con-
gress is q week in session John will surely be
heard from. He cannot be kept down.
PRINCE FARyEsE ARIF BEY, who died the
other day at Constantinople. was the last sur
vivor of the illustrlous Italian family of Far
nese, which has now become extinct. The his
tory of this great house, dating back to the
thirteenth century, has yet TO be written.
When given to'Che world. the story will oe found
to touch upon almost every great movement of
the European family during the last -four CEN
turtles. Some of tae Farnese were about as bad
as Inzn could be; some were celebrated az war
riors, some were The most enlightened patrons
of the drama and art of their day, Others were
poets or wits. but all were the most perfect of
courtiers. COrpulency was hereditary in the
fafally to the very last. The Palazza Farnese,
close to the left bank Of the Tiber. and not
many PAGES away from TIE English college at
Rome. is one of the citys finest palaces. It's
foundations were laid by Pope Paul Ill. and 1t
was completed by his nephew. Pope Paul III
