his hen house. He picked up his gun

A Lymph Patient Tells How It Feels.

A patient who has received three in

sentative of the Record The patient,
middle-aged man, came under the care
of Dr. William NJ. Angney, at the Home
for Consumptives, a few days ago.
''Not the least interesting part of my
experience" he said ''has been the
taking of the injections. Approximations

hopes of recovery that felt before re.

had no reaeon for fear; the operation wal

The feeling was similar to the deiiriuui

Pages in Congress.

The place of page is eagerly sought
after, and if a member of Congress dies
and leaves his family destitute it is not
uncommon to provide one of his boys
with a pages place. The pay is SIS
month while Congress sits and the WORK
is literally nothing but play to them.
This is, indeed, the great drawback of
it. A boy draws mans salary and has
no chance for regular, wholesome work
with it. He cannot go to school and
learns nothing in effect except the art of
waiting on his elders. They have a COM
Portable room down at the Capitol and
nobody is disposed to make life hard for
them. If night session lasts into the
morning hours the pages are always ex-
cused by 10 o'clock. They pick up
good deal about the forms of legislation
and one of their favorite games is play
ing Congress. Some youngster is elected
Speaker and escorted to the Speakers
chair by two defeated candidates, the
rival factions divide upon the fioor-fcr
all pages have politics and are ardent Re-
publicans or red-hot Democrats-and

"Never hear of plumpersl" asked
lady friend of mine the other day.
''No," said I. ''What new feminine
device is this, for goodness sake2'
"Wel, - she replied-we were calling,
at the time, at the house of a mutual
friend-'just YOU notice Miss - when
she comes down stairs and tell me if you
notice anything strange or remarkable in
her appearance
The Miss referred to, be it said, is
a tall and somewhat angular young woman
of uncertain age, but who is possessed of
a considerable degree of personal vanity
and a more than ordinary desire to ap-
pear at her very best upon any and all
occasions.
In q few moments she appeared, and,
after greeting US cordially, we entered
into a general conversation. Nothing
very remarkable about her, thought I.
"Well, said to my lady friend, after
our departure, az have scanned Miss -
pretty closely but failed to notice any
thing worth commenting upon in her ap-
pearance. She talked as if she had some
thing in her mouth"
Twas interrupted at this point by a
peal of laughter.

A wo,lAN's IDEA.

One of the most valuable discoveries
ever patented fer making patent tiles is
the property of bright young woman,
Miss Frye, a school-teacher, who will
soon be able to desert the school
and live on the royaltypf her patent.
Just what this patent Is the writer is not
at liberty to tell, but like everything
truly feminineit is lovely and simple. 1t
is something every male potter has been
trying to discover for years. lost art
in fact-and every blessed man who has
seen it has, man-like, exclaimed: ''What
an idiot I was not to have thought of
it" You see, the only thing to do was
to think of it; the balance was easy
enough. However, nobody ever thought
of it until Miss Frye had the patent safe
in her pocket, and along with it a hand
some fortune in prospect and compe-
tency for the present. Like all really
studious aud thinking women Miss Frye
IS modest to 4 degree, and reticent as to
herself and her discovery.
There Is also a fortune awaiting the
man who will rediscover the lost art of
producing the green, blue and red of
the ancients from copper. The first two
colors can be got easily enough, but the
last is elusive. viii the ''man" who

A new method of washing butter has
been patented in Germany. It is de-
scribed as follows: As soon as gathered
in the churn in particles of about a tenth
of an inch in size, it is transferred to a
centrifugal machine, whose drum is
pierced with holes, and lined with a
linen sack, that is finally taken out with
the butter. As soon as the machine is
set in rapid motion, the buttermilk be-
gins to escape; a spray of water thrown
into the revolving drum washes out all
foreign matters adhering to the butter.
This washing is kept up till the wash
water comes away clean, and the revolu-
ton is then continued until the last drop
of water is removed, as clothes are dried
in centrifugal wringer The dry but
ter is then taken out, nodded and packed.
1t is claimed that the product thus SO
fully and quickly freed from all impuri-
ties, without any working or kueading,
has a finer flavor, aroma and grain, and
far better keeping qualities, than when
prepared for market in the ordinary way.

DRESSING THE HAIR.

A fashionable way of dressing the hair
is to bring it up from the neck to the top
of the head, keeping it quite to the back.
Then dress it in a thick coil like birds
nest. The extreme ends of the hair are
then drawn through the coil, frizzed,
and combed out, forming q sort of tuft,
and dagger or jewel-headed pin is
thrust in by way of finish. This method
of dressing the hair resembles that seen
in engravings of ancient Greek statues.
Another mode is that of turning the fore
head locks back, leaving them loose to
form a roll at the edge of the brow. The
rest of the hair is combed to the top OF
the head, coiled once, then the ends are
divided into several strands made into
softly tapping coils, which round like
tiny rings beneath the edge of the single
coil; each ring is caught 10 the large coil
with a small jeweled hair-pin. When
the head is well shaped and the features
fairly regular, this fashion of dressing
-the hair is very pretty. It, has a neat APP
pearance2 quite dIsI1ncC n The famisiar
fuzzy head of fashion. This smoother
style has novelty to commend it and
when it happens to suit pretty face, it
is decidedly chic. Long hair-pins are
required to fasten the coils securely
