Question on the adoption of the miner
ity report.
Mr.. Doty referred to the facts which
had been established IN the different
principally occasioned by debris from
the hydraulic mines, and thought those
facts should be stated, as was done by the
minority report.
Mr.. Hail, Mr.. ,Shanahan and Mr.. Mar
tin spoke in favor of the majority report,
on the ground that the damage was partly
due to other causes than mining, and, as
a memorial to Congress was being formu-
lated, asking for action looking to the re-
opening of the mines, if, on investiga-
ton, any method could be ascertained by
which they could be worked without do
ing injury. The adoption of such reso-
luton as was proposed by the minority
report, might create feeling in Congress
which would prevent it from making any
effort to rehabilitate the mining industry
Mr.. Clark thought the only difference
between the majority and minority re-
ports was mere play on words.
Mr.. Bruner offered g substitute for both
the majority and minority propositions,
which, proving satisfactory to both sides,
was adopted.
The remarks of Mr.. Hail were as fol-

How to Be Hungry at Breakfast.

Breakfast is rather a failure as a
meal with town men. That ought not
to be; there is something wrong when
man is not vigorously hungry in the
morning. Where is the fault. Is it
in the late dinner? Not in the dinner,
probably, so much as in what is drunk
at dinner; in that, and in the nervous
strain of the times. 1t does not matter
whether we dine in the middle of the
day or in the evening, so long as we
dine judiciously. But the man who
has much work to do, and particularly
brain work, cannot dine in the middle
of the day. If he does, he must make
up his mind to lose at least an hour of
his most valuable time. A light lunch
con at midday, with no stimulant
stronger than cup of coffee or a
bottle of ginger ale, is the suitable
thing. But this must on no account be
used as a substitute for dinner. He
who lunches in this way at midday
must dine in the evening. and dine
well. The business man should dine
at half-past g. or at latest half-past z:
The lazy man dimes when he likes. The
man who has earned his dinner should
have good one-not heavy, but nutri-
tious; not too elaborate, but well
selected and well cooked. He should
drink. if possible, one kind of wine.
and that light one, sparkling or still.
Spirits and beer he should avoid. Din
ner should be the last meal of the day,
except for those who can not sleep
without food in their stomachs. These
may take cup of cocoa. with a little
thin bread and butter, just at the time
of going to bed. If attention be paid
to these suggestions. very few people
will fail to be hungry at breakfast.

SHERMAN'S CALLANTRY.
An Incident Described by Lady Showing
A Fine Quality in the Old Soldier.

When in New York two summers
ago ''The Brigands," a new operetta
was being played by Lillian Russell
at the Casino and attracting great
crowds every night. The weather was
intensely hot and the entire audience
would leave the auditorium and go to
the roof, which was laid out as a gar
den, filed with choice potted plants
and flowers and illuminated from the
sides with colored globes, making a
most novel and effective appearance.
Tables were set out among the palms
and beneath trailing vines, and those
who wished could get besides a breath
of fresh air, a glass of apollinaris water
or an ice. A small elevator conveyed
the visitors to the roof and returned
them to whichever floor their seats
were on. Stepping into the elevator
with others one evening my attention
was directed by hearing the elevator
boy refuse admittapce to young gen.
tleman, who had just handed in lady
handsomely dressed.
"But I can not be separated from
my company" persisted the young
man.
II can not take more than twelve,
and you make fourteen" replied the
boy.
The lady proposed to get out. but
the gentleman was equally determined
to remain in, saying: "One more
couldn't make any difference, and the
music would be over if they did not 60
up at once"
While waiting their decision, the ele-
vator boy equally as determined as the
young man, "a tall, white haired gentle
man wearing a slouched hat, who
stood near me. quietly moved to the
door and passed out, saying: Now,
my boy, your load is lightened; go
ahead"
The handsome woman who was still
arguing with her escort turned and
quickly exclaimed: No, General
Sherman. we will get out!"
The General, however, passed out
into the crowd, the lady following out
with the young man, still protesting
against the Generals leaving.
The elevator boy shut the door. and
we moved quickly to the roof, but I
with the rest of the elevator crowd.
had good look at the old hero. and
quite murmur of applause was heard
over the Generals gallantry.

THE FLOWER OE LUNA.
1t Is Sensitive to Every Change of the
Moon and Is Very Beautiful.

Mr.. Arnold Brinkworth, who owns,
perhaps, the finest private botanical
collection in the country, and whose
greenhouses near Mount Sterling, KY.
are filled with the rarest and most del
icate plants of all nations, is exhibit
ing with much pride specimen of the
Fleur de Lune, the existence of which
has often been doubted, but which was
sent Mr.. Brinkworth a few months
ago by friend residing near Obydos,
Brazil.
1t was obtained for him from an Ind
ian, who found it growing in swamp
in the depths of the Amazonian for
ests, and is the only specimen which
has ever reached this country alive.
Those who have been favored by
glimpse of the curiosity say it is del
icate, tenacious vine, covered with
small, glossy leaves of a bright and
very tender green, climbing to height
of four or five feet, bearing here and
there milk white blossom of a disk
like shape.
When the moon is at its first quarter,
a distinct shadow or stain of a deep
yellow, which seems rather in than out
of the flower and corresponding to the
shape of the moon makes its appear
ance on this disk, and grows as the
planet does, until, when at its full size,
the yellow stain covers the entire
flower. As the moon begins to wane
again this retreats in the same ratio,
and finally disappears altogether, to
return once more as the new moon is
seen to come back.
When the planet sets the flower
closes and does not unfold until the
moon rises on the following night. 1t
pursues this course month after month
whether placed in the open air or kept
in hot-house. though under the latter
circumstance the yellow tint is much
paler and more undecided, while the
white surface takes on a dingy, un-
healthy tinge. The plant subsists
almost entirely on air, its roots being
barely covered with a little moist

married women stand in row next to

Then the feast begins, and boiled meat

waist, takes drum made something

and beat the drum. The words of the
song are improvised by the singer and
are usually satirical. He praises first
one and then another of the company
for good qualities that are noticeably
lacking, to the great delight of all the
rest, though they know that they will
be scored if they have not already
been. The dancing is simply stamp
ing of the feet and swaying of the
body-the motion is ridiculous to any
one not an Eskimo. The women Join

OF Course, Papa Earned the Money.

IF there is one great nuisance in
this hotel above all Others" says a
clerk of the Palace hotel, San Fran
cisco, sit is that of the young English
tourist who is making trip around
the world. There is scarcely day in
the year that one of these London
snobs does not drop in upon us. They
spend money literally, it is true. but
they invariably drink like fish, and
they soon become very unpleasant
guests. One of our recent subjects
was young man named Macarthur,
who left a few days ago for Australia.
When he arrived here on the overland
train from the east he planked down
$1,000 at the cashiers desk, to be
called for. He remained with US just
five days, and when the steamer sailed
and Macarthur called for the balance
of the funds he received just 81, 800.
In five days dissipation the young
man spent $4,000 in San Francisco.
Pretty rapid gait for tourist. He
was not a swell either, but an ordin-
ary, everyday young Englishman.

Tramp and Violin.

A downtown music store in Lewis
ton was surprised recently at the en-
trance of tramp-a ragged, veteran
tramp-who said he was not vicious.
but only unfortunate, says the Journal.
''What made you come into a music
store?" asked the proprietor. The thin
cheeks of the tramp flushed as he said:
81 am a musician" Having said that
he played the violin, they handed him
one, and he laid a loving cheek against
the fiddle and drew bow of finished
power across the trembling strings.
For half an hour he played to rapt
audience, preluding with the skill of
the improvisation and weaving the
theme into many an airy fancy of the
string. Sometim es he marched up and
down the floor playing and talking. A
new light was born in his eye. His
rags were forgotten by all who saw
him. His cheeks were flushed and his
gray hair was tossed back by an i'm
petuous wave of his head. In the
imagery of the strings were palaces of
delight and strange visions of wasted
hopes and years. In the pleading
voice of the violin one heard voice of
long ago, mothers tone and baby's
cry. That's all right" said he as he
laid it down, and a silence fell upon
all around. broken by the querulous
voice of the tramp as he said: Gimme
the price of supper"
