And He Kent at Work.

DIR. Batty luke, the eminent Edin-
burgh psychologist, had Imaginable ex-
perience the other day. A Scotch la
borer was engaged in the grounds of the
doctors asylum, near Edinburgh, and
had received injunctions to pay no at
tention whatever to the remarks of the
patients who noticed him. Some little
time after DR.. luke, looking at the
progress Of the work, mildly suggested
an alteration The workman dug stolid-
ly on and never lifted his head. The
doctor raised his voice; the man dug en-
ergetically. The doctor threatened,
stormed and finally Numbered out, "Do
you know who | ann"
The son Of the soil Strengthened his
back, looked at him for a minute, and
shaking his head sorrowfully, exclaimed,
"Puir deleeriOus cratur, I'm sorry for
ye" and went on calmly with his work.

The Poems of Eashinn.

The poetic diction of the ladies who
condescend - for a consideration - to
write concerning the fashions is some
thing to wonder at. We are told this
year that "the summer underlinen now
being shown in the shop windows is
simply dream of soft, delicate confec-
tons in silk and lace" And it is further
specified that there are accordion plait-
ed nightgowns, falling in creamy rifles
from neck to toes, and accordion plated
petticoats as light as air." 1t is the year
of weddings, and the getting together Of
a trousseau Of Undertaking of this fan
tastic and ethereal sort must have been
keen delight to the feminine SOUL

More Remarkable Than Chang and Eng

very limited number of specially in

They were born in Bohemia and are
fourteen years of age They are not
united by mere igature like the Sia-

formation Of Mile Christine, some years
ago exhibited all over Europe.
Mile Christine, however, had only
one stomach, so that the two sisters ex-
perienced the feelings Of hunger and
thirst at the same time. 1t is not 20
with Rosa and Josepha, who, having
two stomachs, have distinct tastes in the
matter Of food and drink.
Maurice Lefore, member Of The
Figaro staff, who introduced the young
ladies, told an amusing story Of how
they had tasted champagne for the first
time. Both were taken i'll.
Josepha made up her mind she would
not touch the dangerous wine again.
and she has kept her word, whereas Rosa
still INDUCES in the beverage.
When one was i'll the other was very
angry at having to go to bed, and in
sisted on feeding in her usual way. They
are thus quite different beings, so far as
sensations, inclinations, mind and heart
are concerned.
The children are quite pretty. They
are healthy in appearance, and they APP

meters; the wire is rolled spirally, and a
current of twenty-three amperos is
passed through it. Heating is rapidly
effected; when it is judged sufficient the
circuit Is closed, and the hammer spring
is dropped into a water tank.
One man can anneal twenty springs
in three minutes, equivalent to about

She squelohed Him and Then Went.

| 'NNoAShSh linen went.
1t was broiling, blistering, swelter-
ing hot day. Every man in the car wore
wilted collar and had a cinder in his
eye. There seemed 10 be nothing on
earth to do but to wipe your streaming
face and swear At Twenty-third street
there came into the car girl as fresh
and cool as a nosegay of sweet peas in a
shower bath Of dew Not man but
stared at her in respectful delight and
felt cooler and better natured. But one
fellow in the corner, poor, misshapen,
withered up chap, with one foot in a
brace, stared too long. You knew she
didn't like it by the way the pink deep
ened In her cheeks and the white teeth
shut into the full red lower lip.
Finally she looked up at him, with that
grave, steady light in her eyes, as only a
good woman can look when she doesn't
want any nonsense. That kind of re-
buke usually makes a man so ashamed
OF himself he can't look himself in the
face for a week. But the individual re-
turned the look with a bold, insulting
glance, before which the steady eyes fall
tered and fell and the red famed up in
her cheeks. Feeling his eyes still upon
her, suddenly she looked up again, not
into the mans face, which was fairly
good to see, but coolly over his extremi-
ties, as much as to say: "You poor wretch,
who are you, with your miserable sem
blance of manhood, to think woman
would fiirt with you? What a mistake
you are, anyway
Well, the fellow was pretty lame, but
old Mercury, with his winged sandals,
couldn't have hustled out of that car any
quicker than he did, and at the first sta
ton sneaked off the platform.
And the girl-well, in a minute she
was sitting up very straight, with lips
that looked as if they wanted to culver,
and bright, shining eyes, and on the
cinders in he lap were two round, wet
spots.
Girls are the queerest creatures in the
world anyway. Ii was a wicked thing,
of course, but she had to do it. And
the idea of feeling sorry afterward!-

The lesson which the working people
Of our country need to learn is not so
much how to get money as how TO save
it or spend it wisely. Most people can
manage the first part Of home finance,
but it takes clever person, indeed, to
make a proper use Of the money when it
is earned. DR.. johnson once said that
"withOut economy none can be rich; and
with it few can be poor" And, though
his statement cannot be accepted as be-
ing absolutely correct, there is still
grain Of truth in it.-Hall's Journal

ECONOMY nv SHEEP.
Every Farm in the West and Northw,
Should Have Flock.

Every Farm in the West and Northwest
should Have a Flock.
We have long advocated the keeping
of a small flock of sheep and would be
glad to induce our farmers west ano
northwest to follow the example OF
New England and each have his sheer
pa sture, or at least have a few sheeI
as the beginning of something better.
Prof. Craig, of Wisconsin, at an insti-
tute not long since, had this 10 say az
to growing both mutton and wool: I'm
growing mutton sheep, you are at the
same time growing the wool that will
sell the best to-day, and this wool is
the medium combing. The fine WOO
does rot sell SO readily now. The
cloth that is worn by the com.
mon people is made largely from
this wool. Then, too. that wool
cannot be produced in any other
country so readily and cheaply as il
can be produced IN this country. So in
goiu.r into the production of mutton
sheep we attain both of these ends
We make mutton for three cents per
pound and it will sell for six cents per
pound, and that of itself leaves a good
margin of profit and then you have the
wool extra and some other valuable re-
suits of sheep raising. One way to es-
tablish flock is to start with common
sheep and grade up, but this depends
much on the man. Buy good ram and
breed up. In using pure-bred animal
you get all the advantages of long and
continuous breeding. In the breeding
of no animals win you get more the
benefit of the work of others than in
the breeding of sheep"

WORK OF CONGRESS.
Little Has Reen Accomplished Save the
Passing OF Appropriation Bills.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The future
compiler of the official history of the
laws of the United States will not need
much space in which to inscribe the
really important laws enacted in the
first session of the Fifty-second con-
gress, now ready to close as soon as
the worlds fair matter is out of the
way. The session drawing TO a close
has not been remarkable for its actual
accomplishments SO far as respects
large legislation.
Efforts more or less vigorous have
been made to pass through both houses
of congress bills dealing with questions
that occupy large share of public at
tention, but these, with a single excep-
ton. have failed of accomplishment.
The sole measure of the first class
in Importance, not counting the APP
preparation bills which have become
law, is the Chinese exclusion bill, and
political expediency had much to do
with its rapid congressional progress.
This bill, the Inman registry
bill, the Black Hawk and Semi
mole Indian wars pension bill, the
eight-hour bill. the bill TO enable
the president to enforce reciprocal
canal arrangements with Canada, the
army nurse. bill, the intermediate PEN
sion bill and the bill to increase the
pay of life savers are about the only
measures of much general interest en-
acted into law.
Free silver the tariff, the anti-op-
tions bill, retrenchment of appropria-
tions and So, 900, 00J loan to the worlds
fair have been the live topics of the
session. The first three subjects have
been killed, ut least until after the
election. while the last is still before
congress.
The house passed approximately 475
bills, of which 2S4 were passed by the
senate and sent to the president. OF
the bills passed by the house 220 were
public bills, including measures relat-
ing to the District of Columbia; 15I
private pension bills; IS bills to remove
charges of desertion, and Al private
bills of a miscellaneous character.
The senate passed 69l bills, only 113
of which succeeded in running the
gauntlet of the house and reaching the
president. Two of the latter number
the president vetoed, viz, the bill to
send the famous McGarrahan claim to
the court of claims for adjudication and
a bill to amend the court of appeals
act. Three bills the president per-
mitted to become laws without his sig
nature.
The total number of bills and joint
resolutions introduced in the house was
Q, S35, and in the senate 1904. In the
house 2, 100 reports were made on bills,
and in the senate 1,O97 written reports
were made, no notice being paid to I'M
written reports.
The Behring sea trouble with Great
Britain was the ugliest complication
the senate had to consider behind
closed doors, and peaceful solution of
it was found in its reference to an ar
bitration commission. The Gillian mud
die also occupied some of the senate's
attention in executive session.
