the Senator's public career becomes better
than this yaledictory commentary.

CONCERNING the alleged inability oi
Congress to transact business on account OF
absenteeism, the Philadeiphia North American
says that the people are to blame. They must
refuse to send nobodies and tom noodles to
Congress" but elect business men. Beyond the
question whether it would not be possible to
get quorum in Congress for non-partisan leg
islation, the esteemed North Amaerican's pre-
scription is diminished in value by the fact
that the great business men who hold seats as
circumstance OF their corporate affiliations
are generally the absentees. 1t is their bus.
iness that takes them away.

In view of an assertion that there are six
teen men to one woman in the Argentine Re-
public, we are panied to see the suggestion in
an Eastern cotemporary that the Earrings

instead of dollars. This intimation that in the
gross and materialistic view dollars are worth
more than women. will be repudiated by every
gallant American heart.

THE assertion of the Louisville Courier

THE assertion of the Louisville Courier
Journal that "the Indians rebelled because they
had been defrauded by rascally agents and
contractors" moves the Buffalo Express to say:
"when the editor of the Courier Journal wrote
that he had forgotten that the Pine Ridge
agent, against whom the principal complaint is
made. was an appointee or President Cleve-
land" With the fact as stated, what difference
does it make which administration made the
appointment The responsibility Of the parti-
san vice of both parties is the same in both

WAR is cruel, but ever since the revolution
In heaven it has been considered necessity on
earth. was an accidental listener to the re-
cital of an episode the other evening. The
speaker served in battery before Petersburg.
He said the nj ght previous he received orders to
shell the city at daylight They had just come
out of the Wilderness and had not beheld civil
ization for many days. No sleep that night for
the gunners who would be the first to open IRE
on the doomed city. At early dawn, As soon as
the mist veil was lifted by the sun, they looked
down into the silent valley and gazed upon the
waking town. In the golden CLINT of the rising
sun the roofs of the prominent structures
shone out like gilded targets. This grim
soldier, used 70 the whistle of bullets, the
groans of the shattered, the prayers of the
dying-who had walked in blood and felt the
sharp sting of more than one minnie ball and
the burning cut of more than one saber-ac-
knowledged that on that morning, when he
looked down upon a city just rubbing its eyes
and shaking of the night dews in peaceful
ignorance of the storm of FIRE and shot and
shell about to break overit, he for the first time
fully realized that war was cruel, remorseless,
inhumap. barbarous. His heart nearly failed,
that they, too, were softened by the scene. But
all the soldier knows is Duty. When the word
is given he must obey. He had been ordered to
train his guns on the depot, where the troons
of the enemy woald be centered, and shoot
with the rising of the sun. The eyes which
sighted the first gun that sent shot into
Petersburg were dim, the hands that sent the
first charge home trembled, the true hearts
that beat behind the breastworks felt for the
foe-pity pierced the soldiers there and stung
and burned and throbbed worse than flesh
wound by ball or sword. While a veteran told
the story to comrade his voice shook and his
eyelids held drops that glittered like tiny dia-
monds under the electric light. Only mo-
mentary the softness induced by the memory,
though. After the first shot the soldier was
grim, hard, brave, manly man-after the first
reminiscenee the veteran was a strong-voiced,
bright-eyed. light-hearted, companionable COM
panion. And 1 watched their smiling faces,
and listened in silence as they traded stories
full of bursting shells. ruined homes, pitiful
cries. whistling bullets. long marches. gallant
deeds, missing comrades-memories of blood
stained past which history has justified.

is far from that now. saw him on

of it. His mustache is reddish. and
his eyebrows are heavy. Mr.. Clemens

home is on Pennington avenue. 1t is

filled with rare pictures and books.
The occupant of the house adjoining is
Mrs Harriet Beecher Stowe, and not
far away is the home of Charles Dud-
ley Warner. Mr.. Clemens never
talks about his books except to those
whom he knows intimately. But there
is one topic that he is willing to discuss
at any time, and that is international
copyright. In fact. it may be said that
he is crank on the subject. His
''Innocents Abroad" the most sue

A Healthy Sprin z Tipple.

A very nice medicine for the skin
and for imparting liveliness to the
limbs is this: True sarsaparilla root
cut in slices, four ounces; sassafras
root rasped. two ounces; dandelion
root, four ounces, and one ounce of
liquorice root infused in two quarts of
water for twenty-four hours The wa
ter should be filtered, if possible, and
be just boiling when poured over the
roots. and kept in a warm place just
below the boiling point. closely COW
cred. Boiling for the length of time
required to reduce the ordinary prep
arations often renders the extract to-
tally inert. This recipe is especially
valuable from the sarsaparilla, which
has a particular action on the skin,
without producing dangerous perspira-
tion. But medicines for the blood
should never be taken without careful
bathing and diet, or the immediate
effect will be an eruption, which may
be weeks in disappearing. AS warm
weather comes it is a good thing TO
take vapor bath once week, or as a

Get right into clean nightgown and
blankets and sweat and sleep an hour
or two. Sponge off with pint of sea
water, made with the sea salt sold by
druggists, and half a pint of alcohol

silk underwear and there will be little
danger of taking cold. Spring languor
can be relieved in this way and the
blood improved. Philadelphia Press.

Fish Out of the Water.

The traditional notion of fish out
of water" is that of helpless and gasp
ing creature; yet, as the author of
"Glimpses of Animal Life" reminds US,
many fish deliberately choose to diver
sify their existence by seeking land
aud air. The perch often leaps into
the air for flies, and can be carried for
long distances in damp grass without
suffering harm.
One of the species, which lives in
Ceylon, and is known as the Kavaya.
sometimes leaves his pool and takes a
short journey over the grass. He pre-
fers to make these little excursions by
night or in the early morning, when he
can be refreshed by dew, but some.
times. led no doubt by urgent necessity,
travels over hot and dusty road under
the midday sun. The fish known on
the Ganges as the climbing perch" is
very tenacious of life and may be kept
alive five or six days out of water.
After this experience he seems as fish
newly caught.
There are remarkable tales told of
this fish, which is said to ascend cocoa
nut palms for the purpose of drinking
their sap. This little refreshment
over, it returns to the water. Of course
such fish are automatically different
from those which exist only in the
water, but naturalists suggest various
reasons for their peculiar hardihood.
1t is agreed that they possess a cavity
near the gills, which contains the air
retained there for respiration.
That they breathe air directly from
the atmosphere and not through the
gills has been concluded from the fact
that they can be carried a long dis
tance in water mixed with mud,
whereas, in pure water they soon die.
The muddy water cannot pass through
the gills, and the fish must, consequent
ly, have depended upon air alone.
