expired term in the United States SEN
ate, The portrait is Of the gentleman's
successor in the Cabinet, Stephen B.
Elkins, of West Virginia.
Mr.. Elkins is one Of our millionaire
statesmen. He was born in Missouri
fifty years ago, and is graduate Of
the university named after that Com
monwealth. For time he served in
the Union army, with the rank of Cap
tain. In 1868 he removed to New Mex
leo and served for while as driver on
a ranch. Being bright, genial young
man and acquainted with Spanish, he
gained influence and popularity, and
before long was on the. roll of attor-
neys. BY the prosecution Of, it is re-
ported, 10000 Mexicans who broke the
law by holding servants in slavery, he
laid the foundation of his great wealth,
the United States Government paying
him $25 each for convictions. He was
elected to the Legislature of New Mexi-
co, and subsequently to the Forty-third
and Forty-fourth Congresses. While
at Washington he became an intimate
friend Of James G. Blaine and of Sena-
tor Davis, of West Virginia, and mar
ried a daughter of the rich Senator.
He made great deal Of money by
investments in silver mining in Colo
RADIO. Later he bought an interest in
the coal fields of West Virginia, and
has his county seat at Piedmont, that
State. His wealth comprises property
in New Mexico, Colorado and West
Virginia. He spends great part of
his time in New York City, whence he
directs his vast business interests. In
the campaign of 1884 Mr.. Elkins sup
erintended operations for his friend
Mr.. Blaine. His conversion to the Re
publican party took place in 1870, SO
that he has attained his majority in
its membership. Mrs. Elkins and other
members Of his household are reported
to be Democrats, but he has an able
business adviser in his wife, who inner
its from her father superior judgment
and capacity. AS Mr.. Elkins is one Of
the most prominent and wealthy citi-
zens Of West Virginia, his appointment
as Secretary of War is regarded as
''good politics" on the part of the Ad-
ministration, that Commonwealth be-
ing among the doubtful States.

Extreme Neryous Tension.

In an interesting treatise on the control
and proper use of the nerves, Annie Payson
Call says, Extreme nervous tension seems
to be so peculiarly American that Ger
man physician coming to this country to
practice became puzzled by the variety of
nervous disorders he was called upon to
help, and finally announced the discovery
of a new disease which he called American
tits"
Miss Call directs the attention of nervous
women to absurdities of action and thought
Few people know how to sleep. They
never learn to relax their muscles, but en-
deavor to hold the bed, instead of allowing
the bed to hold them. The same useless
display of energy is noted in sitting, in
waiting, in driving, in listening to preach
ing and musc-strained muscles, fatiguing
nerve tension"
The author affirms that one of the best
and surest ways to govern the temper is
ito lower the voice. The nervous system
and the voice are in such exquisite sym
patty that they constantly act and react
upon each other"
According to Miss Call proper manage
ment of the muscles and breathing power
largely decrease fatigue in writing and
sewing. She says: Il fear l do not exag-
gerate when l say that in nine cases out of
ten woman would rather sew with pain
in her neck than stop for the few minutes
it would take to relax it and teach it truer
habits, so that in the end the pam might
be avoided entirely"

EXERCISE AND DIGESTION.

The Influence of Muscular Action and Alb
solute Rest on the Gastric Functions.
In lecture before the Medical Society OF
Giessen on "The Influence of Exercise Oh
Digestion" an abstract of which is given
in The Lancet, DR.. Streug describes some
experiments made in the clinic. The first
were on two dogs. Twenty five grams OF
meat suspended in 300 cubic centimeters OF
warm water were twice injected into the
fasting stomach, and after one feeding the
} dogs were compelled to remain for three
hours in absolute bodily rest, while after
the other feeding they were made to take
active exercise.
After three hours the contents of the
stomach were obtained and analysed. The
quantity did not essentially differ in the
two cases. The experiments consequently
tended to prove that exercise does not in
fiuence the time required for digestion.
The chemical analysis also detected no
difference. The same results were obtain
ed by substituting the white of an egg for
the meat. The experiments were then re-
peated twenty-five times on three men with
healthy stomachs. Two of these suffered
from sycosis, and the third from incipient
muscular atrophy. They were fed each
time with 200 grams of minced meat, a
bun, plate of bouillon and three spoon
fuls of mashed potatoes. and the contents
of their stopachs were obtained four hours
and half afterward.
The exercise after meals consisted partly
u gymnastics, partly in walking. Also
lutte rest was obtained in bed. These ex-
periments gave the same results as those
on the dogs, the difference resulting from
the chemical analysis being especially i'm
perceptible. The author therefore con-
cludes that the gastric function is in no
way influenced either by muscular action
or by absolute rest

WEDDING NOTES.
The Most Important Social Events Which
Distinguish the Month of Roses.

Distinguish the Month of Roses.
The favorite wedding season being again
with us, The Housekeeper's Weekly fur
nishes some appropriate items about fash
ionable customs, valuable to anybody in
terested either closely or in remoter de-
gree in prospective marriage ceremony:
Brides sometimes have the left hand bare
as they walk to the altar, but usually the
finger of the glove is ripped so as to receive
the ring without removal
At the reception the bridal party stand
under bell or other appropriate floral de-
vice, the horseshoe being n favorite en-
blem.
The host and hostess-the parents of the
bride-stand to receive with the bride
groom and bride, and the ushers present
each guest as soon as the wraps have been
laid aside.
After the guest has said some pleasant
things to the parents and congratulated
the newly married couple she relinquishes
the usher's arm, and he returns to the door
for other arrivals. The guest chats pleas
autly a little while with others, presently
going into supper and afterward home.
A reception usually lasts two hours,
when the bride dons a travelling suit, the
goodbys are said, and the happy pair are
driven off amid shower of rice.
A wedding breakfast, which is eaten
standing, may consist of many delicacies
or be simple. Chicken and lobster salad,
boned turkey, scalloped oysters, ices,
creams, fruit, claret and coffee are often
served.
1t is customary for newly welded couple
to send out, after their marriage, cards
having the date of two or more reception
days at their new home. Where this is not
intended, the future address should be sent
with the wedding cards.
When, from the large number of ac-
quaintances or other cause, but few can be
invited to the reception, the church invita-
ton only should be sent.
Such an invitation requires no answer,
and the making of a wedding gift is OPP
tional The showing of gifts is also a mat
ter of personal taste, but is seldom in
tiulged in by people of culture and refine
ment. A private home wedding should be
followed by announcement cards"
