WASHINGTON, d. C., December TT be-
came apparent this afternoon when the
Democratic caucus adjourned until 3
o'clock that Crisp would be elected Speak
er within a few hours after .reassembling
last night.
Tom johnson. the fanatical free-trader
and single-taX advocate from Cleveland,
o., offered 70 bet one thousand dollars that
Mills would win to-day. Private" Allen,
of Mississippi, the humorous member OF
the House, pulled out that amount OF
money and offered TO take tue bet. john
son, who has been one of the hackers OF
Mills, weakened, and the story got about.
1t was known beyond doubt then that
the jig was up with the Texan, but the bat
tie was prolonged TO the utmost by the
Mills forces.
WILD WITH JOY.
The Yirginians and North Carolinians
who stood so manfully by Crisp were Wild
with Joy this evening when the victory was
achieved. There were six solid votes from
the Old Dominion from the start 20 the
finish and eight from North Carolina. and
they claim the high privilege Of feeling
proud and jubilant over the outcome OF
the stubborn contest. All the Nirglnians
enlisted under the Crisp banner have work
ed incessantly for him, and Colonel O'ter-
rail, who has for four years served on
the same committee with the distinguished
Georgian, was one ofthe trusted lieuten-
ants at the Crisp headquarters. Judge
Crisp was in Virginia when he enlisted IN
the Confederate army and was all through
the State during tho war.
NO STRANGER.
He is therefore no stranger to.Virginian' s
and felt confident of the support Of nearly
all Of the members Of the delegation when
he first declared himself candidate for
the high office with which he IS to be
honored tomorrow by the Honse.
The friends Of the Georgian are making
merry tonight over their grand victory.
and 1t Is the universal opinion of those
who watched the long and exciting strug;
Gle that ii was the most superbly-managed
fight they ever witnessed. Messrs. Wise
and Tucker remained faithful to the can
didacy of Mills to the last.

AS TO TAHITI hEfOhMs
So far as the question of tariff reform
is concerned, nave taken pains TO satisfy
myself that in Mr.. Crsp's election it will
be preserved as the paramount issue OF the
presidential campaign of 1892. But there
are other issues which must be kept IN
view. and especially that of economy IN
pubfc expenditures. We must make
record in this Congress which Will con-
vince the people that we are in favor of an
honest and economical administration,
and that no money should be expended
except such as IS absolutely necessary for
public purposes.
THE PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST.
THE election of Mr.. Crisp will mot COM
plicate the presidential contest. No can
didate for President will receive any ad-
vantage or disadvantage from IT.. The
National Convention will be lett perfectly
free TO make the choice OF our candidate
uniuhueuced by the result of the speak
ership contest. The Democratic party ~
the party of the people, aud not party OF
com mbinations."

Mr.. Crisp was now within II votes Of on

there are people who imagine they

This drowsy air had eXerted its in
fluence upon sleepy, mustached

view Of the sleeping beast. He lay
upon his shelf, upon his back, with
his arms thrown carelesSly about;
but the pretty feature was the posi-.
tion of the long tail. 1t was curled
about the body, and just under the
head it made a double curl, and upon
this soft roll rested the monkeys
head-a pillow fit for king.

tails for pillows" said the keeper,
"but if two or more sleep at the same
time they huddle close together, rest
ing their heads upon one another"

The Love In Marriage.

Don't make mistake, my dear"
said middle-aged lady to Il young
friend; don't marry that man simply
because you are in love with him. If
he doesn't care quite as much for you,
you had better break your heart
grieving over what you have not got,
than wear your life out in sorrow be-
cause you are bound to man whose
indifference is perpetually before your
eyes. The idea Of teaching man to
love you is most mistaken one.
There are instances where it has been
done, but it is the most unsatisfactory
thing in the world to wait for.
"a woman is much more likely to
learn to love her husband after mar
riage, than the man to learn to love
the wife, and the reason for this is
,evident: The woman in the quiet Of
her home has her thoughts constantly
directed towards the husband. The
man in the whirl of business has Il
thousand things to distract his atten-
,tiOn, and she must be woman Of
more than ordinary grace and attract
,iveneSS, who can win tired, often
times harassed and distracted, man
from his business thought to a deep
and lasting affection. You may say
that marriage is a lottery. So it is,
but there are lotteries and lotteries,
and of all chance games the chance Of
winning hayward heart is about
the most hopeless. Especially is this
the case if the woman is herself deep
ly In love. She gauges the mans
feelings by her own and bases her de-
mand on what she would herself do,
as she fancles, under like circum-
stances. But she reasons from wrong
premises, and, like all calculations
based on error, comes far short of her
expectations. Marry only the man
who desires your love above all things
else, otherwise it is better to remain
single. New York Ledger.

About birds.

The biggest OF all really powerful fly
ing birds are, / believe, the wandering
albatross and the South American con-
dor. Seen on the wing, or even with
wings expanded merely, both these great
existing birds have most majestic and
colossal appearance. But feathers In
such cases are very deceptive; they make
fine birds out of very small bodies
For example, our well-known little
English swift, which looks so imposing
in flight as it passes overhead with
pinions poised, Is hardly as big, when
plucked. as mans top thumb joint
and weighs only half an ounce. So too,
the albatross, though its eXpanse OF
wing is said TO exceed that OF any other
known bird, amounting sometimes TO
neary ten feet, does not average in
weight more than fifteen pounds.
AS for he condor, while lie spans from
wing TO wing some eight feet, his length
from beak t. tail is only three and q
half, and l doubt if he would pluck into
anything corresponding to his magnifi-
cent Gu or show.
The bucher bird is the mos sagacious
and at the same time the most cruel of
BIRDS A pair will follow you while
blowing, AMI if you overturn a rats
nest they will Immediately pounce upon
the wretched creatures, kill thcm or
drag them away and spike them on the
sharp thorns of an grange tree, to be de-
voured at leisure. | once saw butcher

had him by the back of the neck, and
with it flew up into an orange tree. He
then nailed the reptile onto a thorn, and

their game by the wholesale, and treat
it in this fashion For that reason, be-
cause they are destructive to gophers
and rats, they are considered the friend

What L. WorstcdY

A wooden yarn is soft and fluffy.
while worsted yarn is hard and firm,
possessing much greater tenstile
strength. In the wooden yarn the
fibers are tangled and crossed, and
drawing is avoided as much as posi-
bic in preparing the raw material for
spinning, SO as to leave the natural
curvature OF the flberS undisturbed,
and afford the greatest freedom OF
action to the felting quality Of the
wool. In worsted yarns the object is
to obliterate the felting quality, and
to secure elOngatiOn and parallel ar
rangement OF the fibers. In the early
days of the manufacture the best re-
suits were only attainable in wOrsted
yarns from long-fibered fleece. The
English woods are commonly called
combing woods for this reason, and
it was the possession Of this fleece of
an unrivaled quality which made
England the birthplace Of the worsted
manufacture, and has kept it at the
front in this process. One Of the re-
suits of improved machinery has been
to remove any distinction between
woolens and worsteds, based upon the
difference between the woods employed
in the two processes. Short wool of
Merino blood can now be combed az
successfully as the longer staple. The
processes Of treatment, however, con-
tinue to differ radically. This differ
ence, as already seen, is primarily Gre
ated by the introduction of the comb
ing machine, an instrument unknown
to the wool manufacture proper.

Dead Sea Water as an Antiseptic.

The Daily News Paris correspond
cnt gives particulars Of an iteresting
communication which has been made
by NJ. de Chauveau in the name of
the weH-known Plsteurian chemist,
NJ. Lortel, who has long thought of
turning the most accessible part of
the Dead Sea into an Asiatic Run
corn, studying how, with siphon, to
bring TO the top water from the bot
tom, which is heavily charged with
calcium salts and bromide of mag
nesium. Another Of his ideas was to
export water from the Dead Sea as an
antiseptic for use in hospitals, it be-
ing reputed mortal to every kind OF
animal life, and necessarily, as he
supposed, TO microbes. But savant
whom he consulted said: Take care,
there is hardly a fluid in nature in
which virulent microbc of some sort
may not find good soil" He there
fore cultivated various kinds OF bacilli
In the denSest Dead Sea water that
had ever been fetched to his labora-
tory. The diphtheria, measles, scar
latina, smallpox and other fell
creatures of the animalcular world
were experimental upon. All dHd
but two, with which in forty-eight
hours the fluid was alive. The one
shaped like the c1apper Of bell and
the other like u tack nail with a
round head were the microbes of
tetanus and gangrene.
