WHAT TEARS ARE MADE OF.
They Perform IA Useful as Well as Senti-
| mental Function.


1t is said that people sometimes weep
for iov. rs well as for sorrow, but such
cases are at least rare; anyway there Is
not probably any difference in the ma
terial of the tears shed. They are both
made of the same stuff. The principal
element i'm the composition Of tear, as
may readily be supposed, is water The
other elements are salt, soda, phosphate
of lime. phosphate of soda and mucuS,
each in small proportions.
A dried tear seen through micro
scope of good average power presents Il
peculiar appearance. The water, after
its evaporation, leaves behind it the
saline ingredients, which amalgamate
and form themselves into heightened
cross lines, and look like a number Of
minute fish bones.
The tears are sccreted in what are
called the ''lachrymal glands situated
over the eyeball and underneath the
lid. The contents of these glands are
carried along and under the inner sur
face of the eyelids by means of six or
seven very fine channels, and are dis
charged little above the cartilage sup
porting the lid.
The discharge of tears from the lach-
rylnal glands is not occasional and acct
dental. as is commonly supposed, but
continuous. 1t goes on both day and
night-though less abundantly at
night-through the 'cOnduitS, and
spreads equally over the surface of the
lids.
After serving its purpose the flow is
carried away by two little drains stu
ated in that corner of each eye nearest
the nose. into which they run. and
called the "lachrymal points" The
usefulness of this quiet flow OF tears to
both man and beast is manifest.
There is such an immense quantity OF
fine dust floating in the air and con
stantlv getting into the eyes that, but
for it. they would soon become choked.
Very little is requisite TO keep the ball
free. and when some obnoxious sub
stance-smoke. an insect, or the Ike,
that affects the nerves-does make It's

Special Correspondence Of the Register.
WASHINGTON, August Speaker
Reed is credited with saying that the
House is no longer a deliberative body.
To certain extent this is true. Ii is a
deliberative body whenever the Com
mittee on Rules allows it to be so. Bills
no longer come up in the morning hour
The fact that bill is upon one of the
three calendars seems to amount to
nothing. The morning hour has gone
out of sight, and the committee which
reports bill, unless privileged, never
gets an opportunity to call it up.
There is so much privileged business
that the regular business of the House
is never reached. Conference reports
are privileged. So are reports from the
committee on rules and the committee
on elections. Reports from the COM
mittee on ways and means, from the
committee on appropriations, and from
the committee on rivers and harbors are
privileged. In the same category stand
reports from the committee on public
lands, the committee on Territories and
the committee on enrolled bills. Cen
eral pension bills from the committee
on invalid pensions and reports from
the committee on printing and the COM
mittee on accounts are also privileged.
The motion to adjourn, when the Speak
er does not declare it 10 be dilatory, is
always in order. A motion for recon-
sideration is ditto. Then there are
questions of privilege. They relate to
the rights Of the House collectively, to
its safety, dignity and the integrity of
its proceedings. They also take in
questions concerning the rights, reputa-
ton and conduct of members individu-
ally in their representative capacity.
These have precedence of all other
questions except motions TO adjourn.
1t will be noted that reports from the
committee on rules are privileged. This
privilege virtually makes the committee
on rules the master Of the time of the
House. Having leave to report at any
time, it can and does spring the most
important business before the House at
a moments notice. 1t is composed
of five members, three Republicans
and two Democrats. The Rcpubli-
cans are Thomas Il. Reed, Will
liam Mckinley and Joseph G.. Cam

are a dozen rOll-callS on motions 10 ap-
prove the journal, TO adjourn, TO recon-
nit, 10 reconsider, 10 order the previous
question, to lay on the table and SINH
lar maneuYerS. Each rOll-call takes
from twenty-five to thirty minutes.
Much time is usually wasted in correc-
lions of the Record Then questions of
personal privilege are thrown into the
hopper. Recapitulations of the vote are
required. Somebody IS always sure TO
take up as much time rs possible upon
immatcrial matters. IL is not strange
that new members look puzzled and
wonder why they fail to secure recogni-
ton. They see so much time wasted
that they can't understand it. If used
in legiSating under the present Organi-
ZatiOn it is worse than wasted. The
best speakers IN the House are some
times puzzled by such parliamentary
tactics. If they have anything To say.

An old member loaded with facts will
fire them off even if he has TO do 50 on
the day after the battle. The new mem
Der, however, usually carries his facts
inside his waiSt-coat pocket until Con-
greSS adjournS. He may be the only
man in the House who understands the
question at issue, yet he is compelled TO
sit still and see it butchered by priyi-
eyed professional takers without an
Dortunity to open his head. The Speak
,r can not see him.

the House. A resolution from the COM
mittee on rules was of higher privilege.
The forfeiture bill was still pending as
unfinished business. The Judge indig-
nantly raised the question of considera-
tion on Cannon's resolution. He would
probably have been knocked out were
it not that William III. Wade, chairman
of the committee on labor. was seeking
an opportunity to call up the eight-hour
claim bill.
With Payson's bill out of the way he
fancied that the House would touch bot
tom on the morning hour, and as his
committee was first on the roll call he
could raise the eight-hOur measure from
its grave on the calendar. Those who
favored the eight-hour bill and the
friends of Judge PaySon'S bill joined in
opposing the proposition from the Com
mittee on Rules. 1t was defeated by so
yeas to % nays. Only % Republicans
voted against considering the reSolu-
ton. Cannon, however. had help from
the Democratic side. Those who were
anxious TO secure consideration of the
bankruptcy bill, even at the expense OF
giving the original package bill the
preference, voted with him. There
were several of them.
IL was a knock-down blow for Mr..
Cannon, and the first he had received.
Democrats congratulated each other.
Cannon shook his head over his defeat
and sweetly smiled. Major Mckinley
sympathized with him. and Speaker
Reed welded the gayel with twice the
energy ne had displayed before the de-
| feat of the resolution.
The Committee on Rules did not inn
mcdiately recover from the effect Of this
reverse. Itremained quiet for ten days.
Meantime there was lots of fun in the
| House. Gentlemen had chance to
speak who had never been heard be-
fore. Most of them did not seem to I'M
derStand the question, but they talked
all the same, because they had the OPP
portunity. The temptation was too
great TO be resisted.
Not one-sixth of the time of the House
is consumed in discussing the merits
of measures. Some days there

lowed for their consideration, but the
order was not to interfere with revenue
and general appropriation bills and con-
ference reports. On the previous day,
Judge Payson, as matter of privi-
lege, had brought up the land grant

DR.. Pablo Patron mentions in the
Peruvian journal la Cronica Medica
that a inbid dog having bitten 4 boy in
Aayacucho, the boy, notwithstanding
that the wounds had been we'll cauters
ized, began ina fcw days time to show
unmistakable signs of having hydro
phoba; and one day, when no one
was watching him, he ran away into
tho fields and gathered some leaves Of
the Americas aloe (agavc Amcricana)
and sucked them. Aftor this the
symptoms Of the disease began to
abate, and tho boy recovered. The
American aloe is very common in
some parts Of fPeru and Central Amer
lea, and the Mcxicans are said TO be
very fond OF a tea made from tho
leaves. The plant is also used for
roulticcs, and forms tolerablc substi.
tule for soap. Dir. Patron has been
induced to publish this case through
having. read in some Spanish medical
journal Of n somewhat similar occur

THEY DIE HARD.

The political contest among the

one which has thrust upon those
who think, and who arc not biased
il their views BY the ''Ring" tac-

The political bosses with their
organs the Nc,0s and Courier
and the Columbia Register, have
fought desperately to maintain
their exalted position, and to de-
feat tho wishes Of the people, and
to thus overthrow the cardinal
principle Of true democracy itself.
This is 4 grave charge, but the
facts in the case justify it and
suhstantiate it. Whom a set OF
politicians set III power and hold
