de Had the Floor.

The British house Of commons is per-
h.ps the most powerful organization OF
men il the world, but its great authority
and dignity did not prevent it from be-
ing thrown into some confusion on re-
cent occasion, by very small enemy.
One of the members, Sir John Gorst,
| had taken the floor to address the house,
when it was perceived By number OF
| members that a mouse had taken the
floor at the same time, and was running
exactly in the direction Of the spot occu-
pied by Sir John.
Certain Of the members could not re-
frain from cries Of surprise at seeing the
mouse make this movement. The cries
frightened the mouse and caused him to
turn back and run towards the benches
occupied by the members.
This threw the front bench into some
confusion, which only frightened the
mouse the more. He attempted to take
refuge in the trousers leg of an honora-
BILE member, and this gentleman imme-
diately began series Of leaps and bounds
in an attempt to free himself from the
mouse.
La an instant the chamber was in con-
fusion. The mouse, escaping from the
honorable member with whom he had
taken refuge, ran this way and that
Numbers Of the members jumped upon
the benches which serve them as
seats. The question before the house"
became, How shall this little animal be
got rid off,
All at once the mouse found his way
to the hole in the floor through which he
had entered. He disappeared, members
got down from the seats, and Sir John
Gorst resumed his remarks

A Fresh Water Scholar,

In his response to the toast, "Our In

Georgia doctors, DIR. J. s. Todd got of
this one on Dr. j. McF. CASTOR, of At
lanta. Now that the banquet Is over,
DR.. Todd declares his joke true one.
The story as told runs this way:
THE first morning he was here DR..
CASTOR was walking along the wharves.
He admired the vesselS and the different
flags very much, and was enthusiastic In
talking of them. In the afternoon DR.
CASTOR induced me to go down with him
and look at the bay. 1 gladly accepted
the invitation. We had not gone far,
though, before DIR. Gaston's looks and
manners changed completely. He look
ed uneasy and as if he would run for
life. noticed that, and asked him what
in the world was the matter. Matter
replied DR.. CASTOR, there's plenty the
matter. Why, my conscience, man, if
that water continues to rise like it has

The Photograph in History.

The phonograph people have property
which grows more valuable with the
lapse OF every year. Many cylinders are
slowed away with marvelously interest
ing records upon their waxen surfaces.
The Gladstone cylinder is exhibited only
ON rare occasions and to distinguished
guests. 1t is already an extremely valu-
able record, and at Gladstone's death it
will probably be worth 81 900. A cylin-
der containing a few sentences by old
Gen. Won Moltke, now 90 years of age,
can also be heard. The squalling of q
baby can be taken by the cylinder, and
when its producer has reached mans es-
tate he can listen to his own infantile
voice if he has any curiosity that way.
Funny stories by Eli Perkins, songs by
well known singers and short passages
from well known plays, spoken by emf
nent actors, are all on storage in phono-
graph cylinders. These lose nothing In
clearness and volume from the lapse of
years, but, of course, may be worn out
from use. 1t is believed that record
taken today and carefully preserved can
be reproduced $50 years hence.-New

How the French Serve Roast Reef


ALLOW me to remark" said promi-
nent citizen the other day, as he was
showing his appreciation of choice piece
OF roast beef, "that l once put in six
weeks IN the city of Paris. Nothing re-
markable about that, is there? But l
haven't come to the point. In all that
time never succeeded in getting plain
beef. There was beef cooked in every
possible way, beef dressed with every
kind of sauce, but no plain beef for
change. Do you know I had the
same feeling they say traveller in the
tropics has-the tropical fruits may be
luscious, but one longs for the taste of
an apple now and then-I wished for a
taste of the roast beef 'hef hold Henp-

The Photograph at Funerals.

1t Is related that gentleman well
known IN Richmond, Va, intends to sins
at his own funeral. He has sung at 50;
funerals during the last two years. Hs
intends to sing certain songs into a pho.
nograph, and let the instrument officiate
at the burial. He has chosen Home of
the Sour and Good Night" as the
songs to be delivered at that time. This
opens up new idea. Why may not a
man preach his own funeral sermon?

graph exactly what he would like to
have said of him at his funeral,-New

Run AGAINST A SNAG.

The Mckinley bill starts off unto
wardIy in thcSenate. 1t was, of course,
when laid before that body after its
passage by the house, referred to the
finance committee. That committee
consists, we believe, Of thirteen mem
bers, Of whom seven are Republicans
and six Democrats. The practice here
tofore has always been. when an i'm
portant house measure like the tariff
or other equally important bill was re-
ferred To that committee, for the com
mittee itself to refer ii to "a sub-cOm'
mittee of members especially skilled
to deal with the subject. In the case
of the Mckinley bill it was assumed
that the same course would be pur-
sued, and the party managers had not
failed to select such particular three OF
five to compose the subcommittee, as
would deal with it strictly in accord
ancc with the desires OF its friends.
When the committee met, however,a and
the question Of reference of the tariff
bill To subcommittee was presented,
to the amazcmcnt and disgust of the
party managers, Senators Sherman
and Morrill, opposed such reference,
and the Democratic members Of the
committee voting with them, it was
decided To consider the Mckinley bill
only in the whole committee. What
Sherman and Morrill, mean by such a
course is what profoundly puzzles the
Republican brethren. "As to the effect
of it" says the Inter Ocean correspond.
ent, there can be little doubt. The
action OF the committee unquestion'
ably is equivalent to the indefinite
postponemenJ OF the tariff bill"
In short, il seems TO be but another
way OF getting at what was well un-
derstood To have been decided upon
before the bill passed the house, as the
only means OF getting it through that
