A National Canltol Character.

Aunt Clara, the noted French
woman of tho Capitol, has been here
for 40 years, and she had not grown
day older in the Ia two decades.
She does the biggest business of any
woman in the Capitol, and she sells
photographs of publ men. souvenirs
made of tho pulp of mashed green
backs, guide books aud relies. She is
as spry as cricket, Notwithstanding
that she must be in her seventies.
Her hair is still brown, and her cheeks
are as rosy as those of the Capitol brides
who buy of her. She knows all the
statesmen of the Capitol well, and at tho
opening of each session she greots
such men as lloar, Sherman and Ed
munds with semi-embracc, putting
out both her hands ard shaking theirs
cordially. She has been here longer
than any of them, and the only per-
son in the Capitol who can compare
with her IN term of service is old Mes
senger Bassctt, who began as paige
in the Senate, and who is here yet.
Aunt Clara knew Clay and Webster,
and she has talked with John c. Cal
houn and jefferson Davis. 1t was
Charles Sumner who helped her hold
her place in this corridor, and she will
continue to stay here as long as she
lives. She has made money out of her
sacs, and IL is said that she had sent n
boy through Yale Collegs and given
her daughter European education.
Aunt Clara knew General Grant, and
Grant wrote her an autograph letter
from Mount McGregor, in response to
one she sent asking for his autograph
and saying she hoped he would
recover Washington Star.

Trees Not All the Same Temperature.


1t has long been noticed that snow
melts more rapidly Immediately around
the trunk of tree than at any other
point. The reason given for this has
been that the tree contains greater
degree of heat than the surrounding
atmosphere, and this caused the snow
to melt. From observations recorded
by II. L. Russell it appears that, as a
rule. the temperature of the interior of
a tree is somewhat higher than that of
the air, except during the warmer parts
of the day, the maximum tenn crature
Of the air being generally between l
and 9 p. m, and the minimum between
6 and 7 a. IN. The comparative tables
show that heat is absorbed and radi-
ated more rapidly in the outer ayers
than in the centre. A curious differ
ence was discovered in the wood of he
oak and pine in winter, it having been
found that the temperature of the pine
was lower than that of the oak at all
times, except during the latter part of
the night and early morning. This is
attributed to the thick coating of the
leaves on the pine preventing absorp-
ton of heat by the trunk, since the
larch, which has similar wood, resem-
b es the oak rather than the pine in the
matter of temperature. The further
conclusion is reached that the direct
absorption of heat is the main cause of
the high temperature of trees, and that
it is largely dependent upon the char
acter of The bark, smooth-barked trees
being warmer as rule than thick,
barkcd ones.

Ancient Hostelries in New York.

The earliest record of an English hos
telry that our printed documents afford
is of the Kings Head, kept by one Roger
Baker, where committees of the Council
and Assembly of the province met for
conference, according to the journal of
the latter body, on the twenty ninth day
of August, 1901. Subsequent entries
show that these meetings were of fire.
quent occurrence, and always at taverns.
Although the City Hall afforded album
dant accommodation, these gentlemen
preferred, after the fashion of the day,
to negotiate over the social board. The
Kings Head appears to have stood in
"Queens street, without the fortifca-
TONS" on location which may be now
precisely described as the northwest COR
ner of Pearl and Liberty streets. The
sign was the head of William of Orange,
of "glorious and immortal memory"
then near the close of his reign. Bakers
rival in the patronage Of the gentry was
one Gabriel Thompson, who kept the
White Lion, the site of which has not
been handed down. HIS name, with the
mention of his occupation, is found as
early as 1858. Besides the Kings Head
and the White Lion, the name of only
one other tavern sign between 1900 and
1880 has been preserved, that of the
Boot. On the other hand, the names OF
keepers of taverns are constantly met
with in official documents. Henry Swift
appears as the host who provided the
dinner given to Lord Lovelace on his ar
rival to the command of the province
an entertainment which cost the sum of
forty-six pounds seven shillings and six
pence, which must have been the equiv
alent of an enormous quantity of "bread
and sack" at the prices of the time. OF
the other ancient hosts the names only
have come down of Bernard Harden

Damaged Tea for Fuel.

There is but one house in the city,
or, in fact, in the country, that makes
n business of rehabilitating the salvage
of great fires, and as that house takes
care of the salvage of any and all kinds
from fourteen different States, some
thing of the scale upon which it is con-
duc;cd can be imagined. As, of
course, all the goods saved from the
flames are badly injured by water, they
must all be subjected to a drying pro-
cess. Flour is very little injured by
water, as a paste forms upon the outer
surface which preserves the flour
within from damage; therefore it is
simply necessary to remove the slaves
of the barrel, scrape off the outer paste
from the flour, and place it in large
bin, from which it is siftcd through
an immense seive and rcweighed and
barrelcd. Tea preserves itself in some
what the same way. In reference to
a quantity of tea saved from the burn
ing of tea warehouse some months
ago, was told that after the salvage,
which aggregated 10000 pounds,
had been dried and was ready for re-
boxing, it was found by chemical
analysis to be unfit for food on ac-
count of the river water with which it
had been saturated. Although to all
appearances it was good tea as one
ordinarily buys, and there was nothing
unusual in its taste, being unfit for
food it could neither be sold nor given
away. What was to be done? As a
last resort it was decided to feed the
furnace with It, and since the second
week in September the entire building

The Detel Nut.

The betel nut, of which the Malays
are said to be so very fond, is white
nut which looks almost like ivory. Every
Malay family without an exception has a
box, divided into little compartments,
and with drawer at the bottom con-
tanning pair of shears. In one of the
compartments of the box is some betel
nut, cut fine with the shears; in another
several strife leaves; in the next some
Stacked lime made from coral shells, and
in the last some fine tobacco. At mid
day, which is the dinner hour, the family
assemblies and squats in circle on mats,
which do duty for chairs. In the centre
is bowl of rice and another of curry.
Each one takes handful of rice in turn,
dips it into the curry, and conveys it to
his mouth without spilling crumb. To
do this gracefully is the height of Malay
etiquette. After all have finished, the
betel box makes its appearance and is
handed around. Each person takes one
of the strife leaves, which are five inches
long and arrow shaped, and lays it out
fiat on the palm of the left hand. Then
he takes little betel nut, puts some OF
the lime upon it, adds a small quantity of
tobacco, and then rolls the whole up to.
gether. Then he places it in his mouth,
holding it by his front teeth, never chew.

Mercenary Singers.

In addition to the distressing stories
of Tie tenor Tamagno's incredible
frugality, that have already been pub
lishcd, gossips in operate circles are
now telling how Tamagno wanted to
insis. upon clause in his contract
which should give him six seats for
every performance at which he sang,
to dispose Of at his own sweet will.
His request was not granted. The
artists who appear in Italian opera
are particularly mercenary, it would
appear. Patti is credited with de-
handing her money at the end of the
first act, or declining 10 prt coed with
the performance. The ladies of the
opera do not N1ouch' their salaries,
themselves. Each has a secretary, and
it is the secretary who receives the
money from the manager, and who
transacts with him all the business of
the prima-donna.-[ New York Epoch

DEATH Or SENATOR BECK.
lie Expires Very suddenly in Rail-
rad Station.

L .ti Station.
Senator James b. Beck of Kentucky
dropped dead in the Baltimore and Potomac
railroad station. lie had just arrived ON the
limited express from New York. and was
accompanied by his daughter, Mrs. Goodoe.
wife of Maj. Goodloe of the United States
Marine corps. He got off the train with the
rest Of the passengers and walked with his
daughter the entire length of the platform
and through the gate leading to the station
proper. He seemed to walk with an effort
and breathe with labor, but these symptoms
were the usual accomplishments of exertion
with him for some months past
After passing into the station the senator
and his daughter stopped and were joined
by his private secretary, who had brought a
carriage to take them home. A few words
were exchanged with regard to baggage,
when the senator suddenly turned pale, and ),
with the remark, Il feel dizzy fell into
the arms of his companions. They could
not support his weight, and he dropped to
the floor, where he swooned away. A SUI
pertciai examination only was possible at
the time, but this was sufficient TO satisfy
the physicians that death resulted from par
alyss of the heart, and Immediately followed
the attack.

Lexington, KY, and was graduated as
lawyer at Pennsylvania University of that
city in March, 1876, where he commenced
the practice of his profession. For nearly a
quarter ola century he devoted himself to a
growing professional business before he APP
pearcd in the arena of national politics. He
was elected representative by his district
TO Congress in 1866, serving four successive
terms. from 1867 TIL 1915.
In May, 1876, he was appointed member
Of the commission TO denne the Virginia
and Maryland boundary, ard in the same
year was elected to the United States Senate,
as a Democrat, to succeed John W. Steven
son, after declining a denomination as rep
rcsentatiyc. He took his seat March ), 1877,
and was reelected for the two following
terms. Senator Beck was remarkable for
his readiness to shed light on almost any
question before the Senate, and, when
needed, by timely words to clear the way in
the progress of discussion.
He was the most rapid ialker in either
house of Congress, and had served on i'm
portant committees; his counsel was often
sought on important political issues. He
was especially interested in questions relat-
ing to the tariff and the currency. As a
worker he was untirng; no amount Of labor
was too heavy for him, while his good
nature was inc xhaustib,c.
