Couldn't Be Hired to Adjourn.

Mr.. Payne thought that an adjournment
would be more proper, and made a motion
to that effect. The House, however, looked
upon the motion to adjourn with disfavor,
and voted it down-yeas 81, nays III
Then Mr.. Payne, evi IDENTIFY thinking that
the hour fixed by Mr.. Burrows for a recess
would not enable the members to obtain a
sa tisfactory dinner moved to extend it
until s O'Clock, and one-fifth of a quorum
again set the merry-go-round ut work upon
its circular journey.
Mr.. Payne's amendment was rejected
yeas, 4; nays, I2-and then Mr. McMillin
recognizing the fact that further Dersisten ce
was useless, moved an adjournment, which
was carried.
In explanation of his position Mr. Bur-
rows this evening SAID: s'When a motion is
made to limit debate it has been the in
varia Ole practice to allow parties represent
ing the two sides, 1t possible to come to some
understanding in the House as to time with
out having a vote. With that view and for
no other purpose, l sought to obtain an
understanding with Mr.. McMillIn who is in
charge of the BILL whereupon the Sneaker
assumed to say that debate was out of order.
OF course L knew that debate was not in
order, but it is the first time in my experi-
ence in the House of Representatives thar n
member has been denied that opportunity tn
bring about, if possible, an amicable under
standing. The course of the Speaker was
entirely indefensible and unbecoming the
presiding officer OF the House"

The Senate Is More Di-nified.

In the Senate to-day Mr.. Morgan offered
an amendment to his silver resolution, which
was ordered TO be printed. 1t instructs the
Finance Committee to report bill supple
mentary to the act of July IA, 1890, which
shall provide Tor the coinage of gold and
silver bullion on equal terms as to each
metal, and for the issue of Treasury notes
in denominations not to exceed $780, upon
the same terms and conditions as in the act
of 1899, upon all gold and silver bullion that
the United States may acquire by purchase,
and that any depositor who shall deposit in
the Treasury gold or silver bullion in guam
titles OF not less than 500 in value, the prod
net OF mines in the United States which has
not been previously coined, shall at his op-
tion receive coin certificates for the same at
the mint value of such bullion.

why a Blue Rose Is Imposstble.

A florist makes the assertion that
blue rose is among the inpossibilities,
but, while an explanation of this curl
ous fact may be equally impossible, he
fails to mention a very interesting law
which governs the colorings of all
flowers. A knowledge of this law would
save many flower growers hours of un-
ayailing and foolish hope. The law is
simply this: The three colors-red, blue
and yellow-never all appear in the same
species of flowers; any two may exist,
but never the third. Thus we have the
red and yellow roses, but no blue; red
and blue verbenas, but no yellow; yell

The Turkish way of making coffee
produces a very different result from
that to which we are accustomed. A
small conical saucepan with long ham
die and calculated to hold about two
tablespoonfuls of water is the vessel used.
The fresh roasted berry is pounded, not
ground, and about dessertspoonful is
put in the minute boiler; it is then nearly
filed with water and thrust among the
embers. A few seconds suffice to make
it boil and the decoction, grounds and
all, is poured out into a small cup which
fits into a brass socket, much like the
cup of an acorn and holding the china
cup as that does the acorn itself. THE
Turks seem to drink this decoction boil
ing aud swallow the grounds with the
liquid. 1t is always taken plain, as sug-
ar or cream would be thought to spoil
it. Europeans after some practice pre-
fer it to the clearer infusion made in
France. In every hut these coffee boil
ers may be seen suspended, and the
means for pounding the roasted berry
are always ready at hand

Glass Filling for Teeth.

Persons who object to the conspicuous,
ness of gold filling when it is placed in
the front teeth may now have their dem
lists use substance which resembles
the teeth so closely in color that its pres
ence can be detected only by a close and
careful examination. This new filing is
kind of glass and is the invention Of a
German. 1t was put on the market only
short time ago, but it has been used
enough to prove that the idea is a capi-
tai one. The glass comes in the form Of
a sand, which is made of nine different
tints. These hues range from bright
white through various yellows to kind
of pale pink. Generally set of teeth
will have about the color of one of ten
kinds of sand, but to have the two ex-
actly the same it may be necessary to
mix two shades.-New York Tribune

Buying Coal

Householders who may never have
acquired the habit of laying in winters
supply of coal in summer or fall, and
whose regrets for failing to do so are
heard with the regularity of the annual
advent of cold weather. may stop repin-
ing. 1t is true economy to buy little
coal.at time. Coal men will tell you
that this fuel rapidly loses in quality.
The gases pass off by exposure or some
thing of that kind, and with them the
heating power diminishes There is one
thing, however, that is necessity in
making the most of this kind of thrift.
The coal bought in small quantities
should be taken from fresh shipments
There is no profit in buying coal that
may have lain for weeks in yard. It
should come fresh from the cars in order
TO get the best service out of it.-New
York Times.

vaIuabie Deposit.

One of the most remarkable of all de-
posits of silver is at the Broken Hill
mines in Australia. At that place the
precious metal is found lying in an enor-
nous lode.
1t has been suggested by Mr.. George
Sutherland that this great deposit of
silver was left by large salt lake that
has now disappeared, but tracks of
whose former existence are clearly to be
SEEN
According to this interesting theory,
the salt lake was formed of imprisoned
ocean water, large quantity of which
was caught in basin between ranges
of hills when Australia was lifted out of
the sea. This water gradually leaked
and was evaporated away, leaving de-
posits of the mineral and other matter
that it had held in solution.
If this view is correct, the great store
of silver at Broken Hill is rich gift be-
slowed by the sea upon the land; but
man has discovered the precious deposit,
and seized it in his capacity Of the lord
of the earth. Youths Companion 3

How to Make Old Clothes Look New.

How to Make Old Clothes Look New.
If suit OF clothes be of good material
and be well made it can be made to last
with some care very long time and do
a great share of service. 1t is best when
clothes are not in use to fold them care
fully and put them away where dust will
not get at them. Hanging clothes in
wardrobe is not nearly so satisfactory
At the end of u season when a man lays
aside an old suit he sees the shining
elbows and the bulging knees and the
grease spots here and there, and says to
himself, well, this is the end of them.''
Go slow, good man, have little patience
Brush the old garments carefully; sponge
out the grease spots with little an.-
monia and then carefully fold up the old
'duds' and lay them away. When the
next season comes take them out, send
them to be pressed and when they come
back yqn will be surprised. The shining
elbows no longer glisten in the light
the knees are once more in shape and you
have a suit of clothes almost rs good as
new-better than new, in that they have
been tried and have been found trust
worthy, not so good as new because, alas.
you cannot go ON performing this opera
ton Indefinitely.

HOW TO Remove Freckles.

In these days when outdoor sports are
happily in vogue for both men and
women young ladies do not have the
horror they formerly had of sunburn and
freckles. Sometimes, however, it is de-
sirable to remove the freckles, and in
such cases this wash will be found eff
cacious: Take one ounce of lemon
Juice, quarter of a drachm of powdered
borax and Il half drachm of sugar;
mix and let the compound stand in
glass bottle for forty-eight hours. Then
rub it on the face occasionally, and 10!
the freckles are gone.

Damages Asked for Taking Cold.

John H. Taylor, of Nashville, Ind,
while travelling on the Wabash railway
from ST. Louis to Stanberry in October,
1889, contracted cold through the negli-
gence of the railroad company in not
having the car properly heated. The
cold eliminated in an attack of rheuma-
tism, which has crippled him for life. For
this he brought suit against the COM
pany for 200 damages. Judge Good
man, in the circuit court, sustained a
demurrer to the evidence of the plaintiff
An appeal will be taken to the supreme
court.-Cor. st. Louis Republic.

How to Avoid Catchiur Cola.

Accustom yourself to the use OF
sponging with cold water every morn
ing on first getting out of bed. 1t should
be followed by good deal of rubbing
with wet towel. This has considerable
effect in giving tone to the skin and
maintaining proper action in it, and
thus proves a safeguard to the injurious
influence of cold and sudden changes of
temperature. Sir Ashley Cooper, the
celebrated English physician, said: .'The
methods by which have preserved my
own health are temperance, early rising
and sponging the body with cold water
Immediately after getting out of bed, a
practice which have adopted for thirty
years without ever having taken cold.''

A woman Buried by Two Husbands.

A Woman Buried by Two Husbands.
Some years since a young woman
named Gardiner married in Scotland a
man named Zadrean. They quarreled
and separated, and the woman afterward
married a man named Smith. But a
short time elapsed before separation took
place in this case also, and third mar
riage was contracted with man named
Bowhill. The parties, however, did not
reside long together, the woman from
that time forward living alone Tues
day she poisoned herself, the body being
found in bed the next morning.
At the coroner's inquest, when YER
dict to that effect was returned, it was
stated that Zadrean had not been found,
but Smith and Bowhill were in attend
ance. The latter produced his certifi-
cate of marriage and claimed the GER
tifcate of death. After discussion a
compromise was arrived at, Smith tax
ing the coroner's certificate, and the two
men agreeing to share the cost of the
funeral, while it was arranged to bury
the woman in the name of Zadrean,
alias Smith, alias Bowhill.-London

How to Keep Bedciothes Over Children.
Most restless children fling the cloth
ing away from the head and shoulders
first. To meet this difficulty sew tapes
eight inches long on the upper corners
of sheets and coverlets, and fasten, after
the child is put to bed. to the Stats of the
upright sides of the crib. If fastening
is needed at the foot also, the outer cover
can be pinned securely after being folded
under the mattress. The tapes should
be doubled before being sewed, leaving
each string four inches in length.
