a newly arrived domestic was secured
to do homework by an. up town family
in Lewiston. In the course of her duties
she was told TO iron some clothes and
hang them upon the horse. A little later
the maid appeared before her mistress
with the clothes in her hands and look
Of manifest perplexity on her face.
"Why didn't you hang the clothes
upon the horse, Bridget" inquired the
latter.
"Sure, an tried to, maam, but he
kept movin, so he did, an they wouldn't

as many cigarettes rs he likes.
One man who went away from Wash.
ington year ago without beard and
came back with one ON his face is the
famous funny man, John Allen, of Mis-
slssippi. Allen is without doubt the
funniest man now in congress, unless n
new light of laughter shall be discovered
among the new statesmen. Since Horr
leftthe house and Sam Cox died Allen
has reigned supreme in the realm of con-
gressional humor, and no is now fun
nler than he ever was before in his life.
Usually wearing simple mustache, he
now appears in Washington with black
beard all over his face. With this beard
he has had no end of sport, 1t disguised
INN so that his best friends did not
know him. mnumerable stories are
told OF the FRANKS and deceits Allen has
played with the assistance of this beard,
He has approached his friends in the
guise OF a tramp and begged them for a
quarter, never failing to abuse them in
round terms when his demands were
not complied with.
10 Congressman Owens, of Ohio, who
was one of Aliens fast friends in the
last house, the waggish member from
Mississippi was introduced as a new
member $50 you are from Ohio?o
drawled Allen. "Yes, SIR" "Well, /
never did have much use for the men
from that state anyway" OF course
Owens fired up at this. "What do you
mean, you ratty little popinjay?" he ex-
claimed. And as Allen, with a straight
face and a most provoking manner, piled
up the abuse of Ohio and Ohio men, the
amused spectators became somewhat
alarmed for the joker's safety, and final.
ly found it necessary to reveal his identi-
ty to the irate member from the Buck
eye State.
Allen Is III many respects one of the
most remarkable men ever seen in the
house. He is the only man ever saw
in public life who can carry on an argu-
ment on any question under the sun
simply by telling stories. No situation
so desperate from logical point of view
that Allen cannot at once rescue it by
telling a story in point; no illustration
so cloudy that he cannot summon to his
aid an anecdote and make all as clear as
day. One of the best of his stories is of
the last presidential election. Allen

Correspondence of The REPUBLICAN,

WAsnlNGToN, Jan. 2S.-There are
some fine looking men in the new house
of representatives. This is distinctively
smooth faced house of commons. Just
after the elections of year ago some
one discovered that in nearly every case
in which beardless man had been
pitted against one with beard ON his
face the former had won. At tho time
this statement was generally regarded
as joke, or as conclusion drawn from
two or three instances, which in no wise
established a rule. But when we come

Speaking of fine looking men, Mr..
Shively, of Indiana, whom | once before
characterized in print as the handsomest
man in congress, is with us again, as
handsome as ever He is as modest and
as witty too. When some one bantered
him about the reputation he was getting
as a handsome man, Shively retorted by
telling the following story:
Once upon a time Lanham, of Texas,
had competitor in his race for congress
named Davenport. In the course of the
campaign Lanham arrived in the town
in which his competitor resided and
repaired to the hall in which he was to
address the people. Davenport, with
the chivalry native to the Texan, volun
teered to introduce Lanham to the audi
ence. This offer being accepted, Daven-
port proceeded in most serious and
dignified manner to pronounce upon his
competitor an encomium which, in the
hberality of praise, fairly exhausted the
garniture Of eulogy. With twinkle of
mischief in his eye the speaker contin-
ued to ascribe to Lanham such great
number and variety of virtues and per-
fections that for a few minutes the Wis
itor did not know whether he was human
or divine. The keener part of the as
sembly were inclined to commiserate
Lanham ON the embarrassment of the
situation, but when Davenport finally
concluded and introduced the orator of
the evening the latter folded his arms
and said in tones deep, distinct and sol
emn:

my distinguished friend has told you

Expensive Oatmeal.

An elderly gentleman whose habit
of overeating at unreasonable hours
induced frequent attacks of dyspepsia,
went to large and fashionable south
ern hotel to spend the month of March
by the advice of the popular physician
who ministered to his ailments.
The gentleman was not fond of
spending money lavishly under any
circumstances and the expense of the
trip weighed upon his mind to such an
extent before his departure from home
that his friends were by no means sur
prised to see him back again at the
end of ten days.
"Did you have good time down
thereP" asked an acquaintance who
met him on the street a day or two
after his return. Seems to me you're
looking rather poorly"
"Poorly!" groaned the dyspeptic.
you'd better say poor! $50 for oatmeal
Cruel; that is what I've had to pay, sir,
where I've been!"

asked the other, much mystifed.
"Why, I mean just this" grumblec
the sufferer. "The night got there
ate fairly good supper and the mex
morning / came down with one of my
dyspepsia attacks and never ate
another thing but oatmeal Cruel for tbs
six days was in that place. And they
wouldn't take cent off the bill; not 8
cent, sir! So 1 packed my things anC
started for home. 1t was the most out
rageous experience of my life!" he con
cluded, turning pale at the very recol
lection of his wrongs.

Buying Stamps In Hungary

AT the postoffice. where we went to

gossiping old postmaster and his VIE
characters not unfamiliar in the

so overwhelmed by the extent OF our
requirements and the number of our
letters that the wheels of official ma

dresses, and had marvelled long at the

to buy stock of stamps of various de-

The Fisheries of Lake superior.

At little Port Arthur alone the fig
ures of the fishing industry for the
market are astonishing. In 1888 the
fishermen there caught 500, 600 pounds
of white-fish, 100000 pounds of lake
trout, $4,000 pounds of sturgeon, co.
900 pounds of piekerel. and $4,000
pounds of other fish, or more than
million pounds in all. They did this
with an investment of $500 in boats
and 10,OOo in gill and pound nets.
This yield nearly all went to Chicago
packing company, and it is in the main
Chicago and Cleveland capital that is
controlling the lakes fisheries. The
white-fsh is, in the opinion of most
goat7n1ets, the most delicious fish known
to Americans. The lake trout are
mere food. l am told that they are
rather related to the char than to the
salmon. They are peculiar to our in
land waters. They average five to ten
pounds in weight, and yet grow to
weigh 120 pounds; but whatever their
weight be, it is mere pressure of hard
dry flesh, calculated only to appease
hunger.-Harper's Magazine.

The Average Woman. ~g a

The average woman can now be ex-
pressed in figures, so far at least as
her physical qualities are concerned.
She weighs III pounds and she is 5
feet inches high, if she is an AmerE-
can. If she is French she is only feet
l inch tall, aud if she is English she is
the tallest of the three. These statis-
tics have been obtained by measure
ments of over 1000 women in their
stockings by the French Academy, OF
over 700 women by DR.. Francis Gas
ton in England, and of nearly 1000
women by DIR. Sergeant of Cambridge.
American women, it is said, weigh
slightly heavier than either French or
English women. This is statement

That to get something for nothing is
