Speaker Reeds Triumph.

The long parliamentary contest in the
House of Representatives to establish the
power of the majority to rule has ended in the
complete defeat Of the obstructionists. A set
OF rules has been adopted, which, while it
deprives the minority of no privilege to
which II is justly entitled, secures to the
members of the majority the power to exer-
else the authority which the people intended
to confer upon them when they elected them.
The final vote which established this power
showed the Republicans voting as a unit in
zAyQIMe new rules, and the Democrats
voting a unit against them In one
sense then the adoption of the
new rules is the triumph of the
Republican party. But it must be
borne in mind that the man who first reused
the Republicans to an appreciation of the
necessity of a radical change in the rules,
WHO pointed out the way to the goal which
the Republicans have now attained was
Speaker Reed. Years ago he diagnosed the
disease from which the House of Represent
atives was suffering and pointed out the
remedy. In season and out Of season, in the
arIi0use, in the magazines and Ia the newspa-
papers, he labored for new departure that

The Firt Meeruchsum Pipe.

In 1928 there lived in Pesth, the
capital of Hungary, Karol Kowatoo, a
shoemaker, whose ingenuity in cutting
and carving on wood brought him into
contact with Count Andrassy, with
whom he became a great favorite.
The count, GA his return IRON a mis-
sion to Turkey, brought with him a
piece of whitish clay, which had been
presented to him as a curiosity on nc.
count of its extraordinary light spe-
cific gravity. II struck the shoemaker
that being porous, it would be well
adapted for pipes, as it would absorb
the nicotine. The experiment was
tried, and Karol cut a pipe for the
count and one for himself. He would
work on them at odd moments during
working hours without wiping the
wax from his hand. He noticed that
the wax gave the pipes q pretty brown
polish, and also that they smoked more
sweetly.
Other noblemen, hearingof the won
derful species of clay, imported it in
considerable quantities for the manu-
facture of pipes. The natural scarcity
of this clay, known as meerschaum,
and the great cost of importation in
those days Of limited facilities for
transportation, rendered its use exclu.

Sermons TO the Machine.

Sermon 10 the Machine.
'How do | write my sermonsl" re-
peated a certain noted divine in re-
Spouse to reporters question. We'll,
to put it paradoxically, ! write them
with a photograph"
The speaker was the pastor of m of
the most fashionable churches in this
city. He draws a salary Of $751; 600 a
year, and, Us becomes a preacher OF
his position, his sermons are notably
eloquent and imprisoned. His home
is richly and tastily furnished, and he
sat in his coy study as he laughingly
made the remark above mooted.
At his side was a table on which
were scattered books of reference. In
front Of him was a photograph, quiet
and attentive. He said that when the
spirit moved him he would sit down
and pour into the passive phonograph
the appeals and arguments which were
to be directed at his congregation later
on. II a good idea came while engaged
in reading he would commit it to the
r of the machine. His assistant
took out the roll every evening and
transcribed il at his own home, where
he had a duplicate photographic ma
chine.
But il is not only sermons that the
Doctors monograph records. Notes of
business matters, couplets of verse and
stories, which may be advantageously
used in future discourses. are all in
trusted 10 the mechanical auditor. The
divine started the machine going while
he was talking with the reporter and it
poured forth a very edifying torrent
OF words. Suddenly this rather COM

Keeping right on the machine relat-
ed an amusing story. in which the
names of several prominent people
were mentioned. Then the phono-
graph grew sentimental and rceled off
some pathetic verses and. almost i'm
the same breath as it were, came the
words! Put that in at the commence
ment of the seventh chapter. Send
the barber around the first thing in
the morning" And SO it ratified away
for fifteen minutes while its owner
chatted.
The clergyman said that he had
written his own sermons for years.
but had grown weary of it. He had
tried a stenographer, but the presence
of another person in the room while
preparing a sermon annoyed him. No
human being could adjust himself to
his wants as well as did the phono-
graph. 1t never grew tired or sleepy
and seldom made mistakes, and SO he
had adopted it as his amanuensis.-
