the deceased members than Sunday
Mr.. Morse, of Massachusetts, Sc seconded

Mr.. Ray, Of New York, opposed the

Mr.. Reed, of Maine, gave the infor.
nation that the consumption of time in
tho first session of the last Congress for

fore the recorded roll call and the amend
ment was defeated-yeas 81, nays 1s5.
Mr.. O'Neill, of Missouri, offered an
amendment making it obligatory on the
House to consider the private calendar

ing for their object the abolition or re-
striction OF the custom of setting apart
days for delivery of eulogies upon de.
ceased members, but they wore all re-
jected.
Mr.. Reed offered substitute for rule
"a, relating to order of business. The
only change proposed is that tho morn

tied to sixty minutes) may be extended

The substitute was iost-SO to leo.
Mr.. Chapman, of Michigan, offered an
amendment providing for Friday night

PIayrrounds of Bower birds.

In Lumholtzs "Among Cannibals" a
playground Of the bower bird is de-
scribcd. He says:
On the top Of the mountain | heard
in the dense scrubs the loud and unceas-
ing voice of bird. l carefully ap-
preached it, sat on the ground and shot
it. 1t was one of the bower birds, with
q gray and very modest plumage and of
the size of thrush. As picked up the
bird my attention was drawn to fresh
covering of green leaves ON the black
soil. This was the birds place of amuse-
ment, which beneath the dense scrubs
formed a square about yard each way,
the ground having been cleared Of leaves
and rubbish.
On this neatly cleared spot the bird
had laid large, fresh leaves, one by the
side of the other, with considerable reg
ularity, and close by he sat singing, ap-
parently extremely happy over his
work. AS soon as the leaves decay they
ere replaced by new ones. On this ex-
cursion / saw three such places of
amusement all near each other and all
had fresh leaves from the same kind of
trees, while large heap Of dry, with
cred leaves was lying close by. Itseems
that the bird scrapes away the mold
every time it changes. the leaves, SO as to
have a dark background, against which
the green leaves make better appear
anco. Can any one doubt that this bird
has the sense of beauty?

what tho Ago Dem ands.

There has been good deal said about
the art Of growing old gracefully, but
there has perhaps not been enough said
about tho art of not growing old at all.
II Is all very well to come to u dignifed
and gracious antiquity, 80 that one
moves in sort OF rarefied atmosphere
and is handled tenderly as u precious
relic; but unhappily the age is not of u
temper which encourages this sort of
age, and 1t is impossible TO take the
place of relic unless curator is to be
found TO take care of it. The rendering
OF reverence to age is 30 much out Of
fashion that to do the graceful old age
act in these days is much like trying
TO play Hamlet supported by company
which insists upon giving "Humpty
Dumpty" instead. The leading role sim
ply becomes ridiculous and there is an
end of the whole thing.
There is real youthfulness and u
spurious one, and the age being satirical
withal, 1t Is we'll nigh impossible to palm
off the one of these for the other. The
children Of today are very keen to detect
the difference between the real and the
spurious. and Ii is of no use 10 offer them
anything but the genuine article. The
rising generation Is pitiless and II does
not take the smallest pains to cover its
contempt for this evasion of the doom Of
advancing age. Itdemands the genuine
thing and IL SCOTS openly at anything
else. Boston Courier.

The average length Of the school year
In all the public schools throughout the
United States is 1855 days. In the city
schools 1t reaches 1916 days. The ma
tional public school celebration of Co
lumbus Day, Oct. 81, will give the 49,
100000 pupils in public schools an addi-
tional holiday this year, and possibly
the average length Of the school year
may be one day less next year. But
whatever be the loss resulting from the
cessation of routine school duties for q
single day, it will be amply compensated
for. The day will be put to the highest
educational use, and the prominence
which will be given to our public schools
will be permanent benefit to that in
stitution. The observance of so memor-
able an event will awaken an interest in
history and stir the American people to
protect, strengthen and perfect our pub
lie school system, upon which so much
of future prosperity depends.

A curious examination Of TIE hearts
of the vegetarian and the meat eater
shows that the number Of beats to the
former are fifty-eight to the minute.
and of the latter seventy-two. In
twenty-four hours this means differ
ence of 10000 beats. From this il is
concluded that in the summer time the
vegetarian has the advantage, for he
can keep cooler and in better health
under the reduced number of heart
beats. Bat in cold climate, or in our
own winters, the heat generated by such
slow heart beats would hardly be sufii-
cient to make life strong and resisting
enough. The true verdict that one must
reach is that the vegetarian is better off
in the summer and the meat eater
stronger in the winter. Yankee Blade.

Bees Arc Much Like Human Beings.

Bees do not appear to practice mill
tary merauding on grand scale, like
ants, but many of them shamelessly live
upon petty larcenies committed individ-
ually on foreign hives. They may be
seen slyly trying to cheat the vigilance
of the sentinels, and slip into their neigh
bors' cities that they may steal and
gorge themselves with the provisions
there. Sometimes they even commit
highway robbery, lying in wait in small
bands near a strange hive for the return
of laden bees and plundering them on
the road.
The sentinels of the hive, on their
side, keep off foreign bees, denying them
entrance into the city, and if exasperated
by attempts at robbery chase the prowl-
ers and try to kill them. In this bees
initiate great many human societies,
where robbery has seemed tho greatest

1t is a matter of wonder TO the slower
thinkers Of this country why woman, in
this progressive age, should try to excel
in mans sphere, when there are so many
things in her own which man could
never do and which she might glory in.
Mrs. Potter Palmer is a fin de steele ex-
ample of what a woman can do and do
well and still be thoroughly feminine
in Paris dress. She possesses execu-
tive ability combined with tact, and re-
suits prove that she has the quality of
management which makes her the peer
of man without encroaching on his
sphere.

Loag Campaigns versus Short Ones
There is a growing conviction in Che
United States that we have too much
politics. and since the recent campaign
in Great Britain many leaders of
thought have declared that our cam
paigns should be greatly shortened.
just think Of i'll The Salisbury parlia-
ment was dissolved on June 49, The
elections were ordered for the first three
weeks of July, and the writs directed
the assemblage of the new parliament
on Aug. 4.
In less than six weeks the government
of the United Kingdom is completely
changed. The latest expressed will of
the voters tSlzes effect in a change Of
policy in less time than is employed ID
this country in selecting the delegates
to national convention. The campaign
now in progress and already heated
must grow hotter and hotter with tie
perfect day--four months of party war
fare. Then. If a new man is elected.
seventeen more weeks must pass before
he takes the helm, and ordinarily con-
gress does not even convene till thirteen
months after it is chosen. The inevita-
BILE result is that elections in this coun-
try degenerate into mere questions of
money and endurance.
But there is another side to the ques-
ton and very important one. "Eter-
nal vigilance is the price of liberty" and
it is quite possible that if Americans did
not maintain the habit of discussing
political questions frequently there
would be evil results. Most assuredly
frequent elections make men more toll
Grant of political differences. Here, for
instance. are two men who vote together
in the spring elections lin village or
township and on opposite sides at state
and national elections. They cannot
afford to quarrel seriously.
The educational effect is also ilnpor-
tant. Go through the rural regions Of
any "close state" and you will observe
that every scholarly young man is called
into action early. The people feel that
they have sort of right to the services
Of the educated. The young student,
the young teacher and the young lawyer
are expected as matter of course to
take the stump" The effect is excel
lent. So, taee it all in all, there is no
need to hurry ip making change.
