ment that ''red-headed women" should be
included, but withdrew 10 on being told
by Mr.. Clifford that IL was an insult
TO the young ladies In the house.
MIR. Adams said he had received more requests
TO- vote for this bill than for any
other before the legislature and each REQUEST
asked for blessing to 90 with the vote. Ne
thought the legislature in need Of blessing and

Mr. Cole and Mr.. Deyo raised constitutional
objections and voted against the bill hr. La

ALLEVIATE husband and wife more surely than
politics; 1t would make home less like bsavsu
and more like the other place. He voted no.
MIR. Quigly said that woman was 10 good 20
vote.
Mr.. Kennedy said that for the Arss s>s he
had met the lobby on this bill, and ks had

Later, when Mr. wissig, a member made Q

WORKING THE RECORD"

WHAT MAY FOLLOW AS THE RESULT OF YEsTER-
DAYS DEBATE IN THE HOUSE.
The discussion in the House yesterday IN re-
gard to the publication In the Congressional
Record Of the major part Of Henry Georges
book, Protection and Free Trade" has aroused
general interest here, both in and out of
Congress, and the end of II ID apparently not
yet reached. The custom Of allowing Con-
gressmen TO "extend their remarks" in
the Record has led to many abuses, chargeabls
to both parties in an equal degree, but not
within the memory of the oldest habitue of the
Capitol has this privilege been perverted to
extent of the publication Of an entire book.
The action Of the House yesterday,
in laying the subject on the table
seems to practically authorize such pub
lication, and it is reported that some OF the re-
publicans propose to retaliate in kind. Mr..
Doliver, who recently published one Of Mr..
Horr's Tribune letters in the Record, is under
stood to have stated that he has a large amount
of similar material, sufficient to cover sixteen
or seventeen pages OF tho record, and which
he now contemplates publishing therein. Il
is said that other republican members intend
to publish in the Record the recent protection
ist work entitled From Plymouth Rock to
Mckinley" and also .'Stebbins' Hand Book Of
the Tariff" and other standard high-tariff
works. In the case OF Mr.. Georges book
there is no doubt that it was pub
lished in the Record with his full knowledge
and consent, but the general publication Of
such works in this manner would, OF course,
raise an interesting and important question as
to liability for infringement Of copyright Mr..
George was quite willing to have his work thus
distributed gratuitously, but other authors
might not view the matter with 30 much COM
placency.
Mr. Spofford, the librarian Of Congress, who
has charge of the copyright system Of this
the legal aspect Of this matter. He said IL was
peculiarly high-handed violation Of the copy
right law and that il it were continued there
wonld BE- trouble in al probability.
II an author gave his consent
to such publication the law was not afronted,
but without such consent IL would be clear
case Of infringement for which some one
would unquestionably be liable; but he could
not say where the liability would rest in the
case, which was unprecedented, or In Q
similar one. In somewhat anaio-
gous case. some years ago, where suit
was brought for false imprisonment, the Su-
preme Court decided that Congress had
transcended its powers in imprisoning the
this instance suit was brought, not against the
House of Representatives, which, as q compo-
nent part Of the government, could not be thus
approached, but against the Speaker and ser
geant-at-arms as individual officers Of the
House. Mr.. Spofford supposed that suits for
infringement Of copyright by Congress would
probably have to be brought in some such way.
He characterised this kind Of publication as Q
very grave offense, in . legal and equitable
sense, and said that Congressmen would do
well to think twice before continuing it

Minute wonders of Nature.

Human hair varies in thickness from
the 250th to the 600th part Of an inch.
The fibre of the very coarsest wool is
only the 500th part Of an inch in dia-
meter, while in some species of the
sheep it takes 100 Of their hairs laid
side by side to cover an inch on the
rule The silk worms web is only the
5,SO0th part Of an inch in thickness,
and some of the spiders spin web so
minute that it would take 10000 of
them to form a rope an inch in dia-
meter! A pounds weight of SPIDERS
web of this size would reach around
the world and then leave enough to
reach from New York to San Francis
co. A single grain of musk has been
known to perfume a room for twenty
years. At the lowest computation
that grain of musk must have been
divided into 32O,000,OO0, 100000 par
ticles, each Of them capable Of affect
ing the olfactory organs. The human
skin is perforated by at least loo
holes in the space OF each square inch.
For the sake of argument, say there
is exactly 1000 Of these little drain

A Cherry Seed That cost $40, 900

In museum of curiosities at Sa-
lem, Mass. there is preserved a
common cherry seed or stone, boil
lowed and fashioned like q basket
Within the basket are twelve tiny sill
yer spoons, the shape and finish Of
which cannot be distinguished by the
naked eve The name Of the artist
who constructed this little wonder has
been lost, but the actual existence Of
the thing itself will not be questioned
by any one from the old witch head
quarters of the old Bay state.
DR. Peter Oliver who lived in Eng
land during the early part Of the eight
zenith century, tells % seeing carved
cherry stone which would be a wonder
even in this age Of fine tools and fine
workmanship. The stone was one
from a common cherry, aud upon it
were carved the heads Of l2f popes,
kings, queens, emperors, saints etc.
Small as they must necessarily have
been, it is announced on the authority
Of Professor Oliver that with good
glass the heads Of the popes and kings
could readily be distinguished from
those Of the queens and saints by their
mitres and crowns. The gentleman
who brought this little wonder 10 Eng
