In the next congress, with 121 north
ern Democrats in the house, and 1T
southern Democrats, clear majority of
northern Democrats, able to control the
caucus nominations of their party, yet
the organization of the house will be con-
ferred upon the southern ring, which
will also shape the party's line of policy
to be pursued in its attempts at legis-
lation. Already the most prominent
northern candidate for speaker has with
drawn from the contest in favor of one
of the two leading southern candidates,
and it is evident that no northern mem
Der will be in it; not even considered.

All admirers of Lucille will mourn the
death Of Baron Lytton "Owen Mederith, -
which occurred at Paris, Tuesday. His
father was Bnlwer Lytton. "Owen
Mederith" was adiplomatist, being sta
toned at various courts during his time.
He was of a family long noted for talent,
both in literature and public life, and it
might be said of him, as political oppo-
nents sarcastically said of John Quincy
Adams, that he was born, nursed, bred
and educated for the purpose of holding
Office. 1t is possible that Baron Lytton
played at diplomacy in boyhood, as he
practiced it before reaching manhood;
and his father, the eminent author, en-
couraged his talent in this direction.

A snake swsIlows Five rurkey..

The two Shafer brothers, who live on
the east side of the Usage river and
some distance below Castle Rock, had
an adventure with a blacksnake the
ether day. A dog had chased a rabbit
in hollow log, and one of the brothers
reached in the hole a little way, when
ne was instantly bitten on the hand
Fearing that a snake had inflicted the
wound, the other brother hastened to
house and returned with a bucket Of
fresh milk and an ak, the former to be
used TO counterfeit the poison and the
latter as a means of investigating the in
terror Of the log. After some work the
log was split open and huge black
snake measuring over nine feet emerged.
The serpent was soon killed, and after
ward cut open. His stomach contained
FIVE young turkeys and seven turkey
eggs. The brother who " as bitten ex-
perienced no serious results from the
wound.-Jefferson City Tribune.

mind from the perplexities of life, for
the time, and turn it towards the source

giving Day.
As to the origin of the observance of
Thanksgiving as formal celebration, it
began in Massachusetts as early as 1923,
but the day did not become permanent
institution until long afterward For
many years, too, it was practically con-
fined to New England, although the
Dutch and English governors of Nav
York occasionally appointed days of
thanksgiving long before the revolution
airy era. During the revolution congress
annually set apart day for this purpose.
New York began to formally recognize
the day about 1917, and the southern
states commenced to take it up two or
three years before the war. Its observ-
ance as a national holiday began in 1868
and ever since then presidential procla-
nation setting apart the day has been
issued, and the governors of most of the
States do likewise. The last Thursday in
November. which this year is the 26th of
the month, is the day selected.

Carmencita is married and has been
for some time, but it was kept a secret
for fear it might detract from her draw
ing powers as a theatrical attraction.
The discreet manager is a trifle arbitrary
in his conclusion that the American pub
lie would not just as soon see a graceful
married woman dance as a maiden.
Under some circumstances and in
Carmencia's particular stronghold OF
grace, which is an accomplished wiggle,
it may be that the married creature
would lead.

INDIAN CORN IN EUROPE.

From the American Grocer.
The short harvests in Europe have at
tracted attention to the merits of maize,
or Indian corn, as a food product to an
extent which has never been done be-
fore, and this has been wisely followed
up by Secretary Rusk, of our department
of agriculture, in sending a competent
commissioner to Europe to explain and
present the merits of Indian corn flour,
corn meal, hominy and other forms of
this nutritious cereal. Colonel Charles
j. Murphy had long been enthusiastic
over the merits of Indian corn as a food
product, and some three years since was
appointed by Governor Thayer, of the
state Nebraska, as honorary commits
sioner to represent the merits of this
great product of Nebraska, and did good
service at the Edinburgh Information ex-
hibition and the next winter at the ex-
hibition in Glasgow. Colonel Murphy
is now in Germany, where, with the CO.
operation of Minister Phelps, he is doing
equally good work. In recent private
letter to a friend in New York Colonel
Murphy says:
II have met with most fat
teTing success among these in
telligent and pleasant people.
have been ably assisted by Minister
Phelps and Consul General Edwards,
and by the German government and
people, who show the greatest interest in
the movement, from the emperor down.
The Murphy Bread as the newspapers
chriStened it, which / have made from
80 per cent. of rye and 80 per cent Of
corn white, graduated meal, IS now
well known all over Germany and the
masses are clamoring for II.
ut surprises me that our bakers do
not follow the example OF the Germans
in mixing corn -four or meal with rye or
wheat -four, as il makes positively BET
ter bread at less cost.
They should mix the cornmeal first
with scalding water before combining it
with the wheaton -four, and if they think
so per cent too much, let them try one
third corn and two-thirds -four.
This suggestion Of Colonel Murphy is
worthy of attention. and we hope lead
ing journals viii take up the question
and agitate it.
The editor of this paper has for many
years used fine white cornmezl or -four
to mix with wheaton -four. with the re-
suit OF fully confirming all that Colonel
Murphy says IN the above letter. The
bread Is light, nutritious, and seems 70
possess more substance than wheat bread
alone. and il does not become STALE and
dry as quickly.

An occasional correspondent writing
from London of visit to Lord Tenny-
son, says: His appearance has lost much
of its stately presence; he looks every
inch the man of so. His fine face looks
worn and transparently pale, though not
deeply wrinkled. His large, dreamy
eyes were rather red about the rims of
the eyelids, his flowing hair and beard
were entirely white, only his prominent,
arched nose and high, broad forehead
denote still the strength of the poet who
wrote ''In Memoriam." He was dressed
in dark dressing gown, displaying
large, white collar and ruffies to the
wrists. His small feet were dressed in
womanish looking, bronze leather
slippers; several rings adorned his white,
delicate hands. Upon the whole he had
a pale, languid, refined look-to me
something singularly and unpleasantly
delicate in its associations with men.
