The Wisconsin Gerrymander.
From the Washington Post.
The great time the Democrats arc
having in Wisconsin over their legisla-
tive apportionment bill will have to DO
settled now or mover if they expect it
to be OF any avail for senatorial election
purposes Tho special session of tho
legislature called by Governor Peck to
correct the defects OF tho present act
will meet next Monday evening, and
the outcome Of it's proceedings this timo
will doubtless be measure Of such vi
tality Of detail that not even tho lynx
eyed supreme court will be able to dis
credit it.
The new superintendent bill is ia
course of preparation by Secretary An
derson. of the Democratic State com
mittee, and will be ready for presenta-
ton to tho legislature Immediately upon
its assembling. Only . few changes
will be required to do away with the oh.
Jections raised against it, and, although
the Democrats may lose three or four
districts by the Encouragement, they will
still retain q control Of the log stature
sufficiently large to shape it's legislation,
ard from present indications to secure
the election of q United States Senator
to succeed Mr.. Sawyer.
1t will be fortunate thing Cor the
State in any event to have been taught
a severe practical lesson as TO the dan
gers and abuses Of the gerrYmander.

bidding Texans to a wedding.

This morning an unusual sight was
seen on Brenham's streets. It was a
horseman gayly decorated with ribbons
of every hue of the rainbow. These rib
bons were hung in clusters and festoons
all over the rider and horse The horses
ears and forehead were covered with a
sort of cap in which were stuck feathers
of bright colors, surrounded with rosettes
and knots of ribbons.
The rider was Fritz Wiesepappe, and
questions about his startling decorations
ELECTED the information that he was the
inviting agent to a Marriage sort of
animated wedding card. His brother,
Herman Wiesepappe, and Miss Bertha
Schultz are to be married next Thursday

The zodIacal Light.

The curious phenomenon of the zodi
neal light may now be seen in the early
morning skies little before sunrise. In
this latitude it takes the form of por-
ton of an e1lipse whose longest diameter
is inclined somewhat from the perpen-
dicular, and may be looked for in that
part of the sky where the sun is about to
appear. Its pearly gray light is caused
by the reflection of the suns rays from
countless swarms of meteors which re-
volve about. him at different distances
1t has recently been suggested that these
ineteors are the medium by which the
electrical connection between the sun
and the earth is established; in fact that
they play the same part in the solar sys-
tenn that the copper wire does in the con-
veyance of electric energy from the
dynamo to the electric lamp.-New York
Recorder.

Abeut Receirlpg Gift..

From the receivers standpoint all gifts
may be divided into things that we want
and things that we don't want. It takes
no particular skill or grace to receive
things that we want, but as, in times of
general giving, like Christmas, the larger
part of the gifts we get are things that
we don't want, that branch of receiver
ship is worth attention. The two ordi-
nary reasons for not wanting things are
the vulgar one that they do not strike us
as intrinsically desirable, and the more
complex reason that we don't want to re-
ceive them from the particular giver. A
general remedy applicable to reluctances
due to either of these causes is to keep
strenuously in the mind the happiness of
the giver In giving.
Remembering that, you are delighted
with trif1e from some one you love, be-
cause it makes you happy to have been
even passively instrumental in procuring
him the happiness of giving; applying the
same principle, you can accept ever so
costly a gift from some one for whom
you care little without any irksome sense
of obligation, since of course the giver
had the best of it any way, and it is a
great deal kinder and more generous to
sacrifice ones personal inclinations and
accept, than to refuse Remember per-
sistently that by receiving with due grace
you secure to another person desirable
form of happiness.

Frames for Pictures.

Oil paintings should be framed in gold,
silver or bronze. A frame of white and
gold is best for water color, while en-
cravings and etchings look best in
frames of natural wood, either polished
or vanished, but never gilded. Photo
graphs can be framed in natural wood
or modest fat gilt or bronzed frames,
according to the subject and the tone of
the picture. Soft gray or cream tinted
mats are the best for pictures in general,
throwing the picture back from the
glass and softening the effect, but tinted
mats may occasionally be used. A dark
blue mat, when the picture is blue in
tone, or a wine colored or rarely a sill
vered or gilded one, may be very effect
i've, but should only be used cautiously.
The frame for an oil painting should
never be fat, but always thicker at the
outer edge, to throw the picture back
and increase the perspective in which it
Is best seen, and harmonic it with the
walls. Sometimes an oil is of modest
coloring and low tone, and is most eff
fectively framed in dark crimson or dull
blue velvet, the pile of the velvet soften
ing the picture yet imparting a lumi-
nous and rich effect, which the glitter of
golden frame almost wholly absorbs to
itself
Water colors are often harmoniously
framed in tints which carry out the deli
cate prevailing color in themselves, es-
pecially in landscapes and marines. The
mat can often be the palest tint of
cream, pink, buff. atmospheric gray or
sea green, while the frame itself may re-
peat the tint, with delicate lines of gold,
or be made of simple white and gilt
molding. Bazaar.

The Salem board of trade has taken
up the matter of providing better roads
for Maron county. Petitions are being
signed in all parts of the county urging
the court to levy Il 2-mil tax to build
good gravel roads under contract. Pity
some similar steps have not been taken
here. There is stretch of alleged road
between tt is city and Long Wards that
has been calling to heayen for the last
twenty years that something might be
done different from summer following it
every spring. 1t is a road the improve
mentof which is of immense interest to
this city and county. Two or three
mills added to the tax levy, and judic-
iously expended on this and other roads
that dema3d attention would scarcely
be felt and would benefit the people i'm
mensely. Such work has got to be done
sometime and the sooner the better.
There is no greater tax OH the farmers
than bad roads. If the county court, when
making the tax levy for the current year
would add Il little on behalf of our
county roads we believe the tax payers
ought not to complain about it.

Welded at Last in a Cotton Patel,


About a year ago C. w. Strickland, a
young farmer, living about six miles
southwest of Paris, fell in love with Miss
Ida Porter, a charming young lady ofthe
same neighborhood. The lady's relatives
objected. but the young folks resolved to
elope. Mr.. Strickland got license, but
the issuance of the license was published
in the papers and before a chance came
to use it the relatives of the lady saw it
and sent her away to Missouri
A few weeks ago she came back. Her
relatives thought the affair was ended.
but the young folks still loved each other.
There were some private negotiations OF
which her relatives did not know. An
other license was procured, but the fact
was not published in the papers The

inclined, and concluded to help pick out

Professor Putnam, of Harvard, ito gather

Should the proposal be carried out, stu

Archdeacon Farrar o: London says
that he will give $500 for proof of a single
case, in the church or out OF it, where
person has been cured of intemper-
ance without practicing total abstinance.
This means says the Denver Sun that
the Archdeacon's observation teaches
him that the person who has fallen or
drifted into the habit of drinking to
demoralizing, disgraceful or dangerous
excess can never tone himself over into
quiet, moderate, decorous drinker
again. He must continue in his ex-
cesses or not drink at all. He must give
up the pleasures of the wine table and
the social party as the price of safety.
There are doubtless others whose obser-
vations will corroborate the Arch
deacon's conclusions, some may even
confirm it by experience

Blown Out of His omce.

Mr.. Nathaniel Paige, the lawyer, had
a remarkable experience during the re-
cent storm. He was sitting at the desk
in his Office on the second floor of the
Corcoran building, and at the southwest
corner, when the storm broke. The door
opening into the main hall was open,
but the door connecting with a small
anteroom was closed. The upper part
was of glass The strength of the wind
broke in the corner windows, and, pick
ing Mr.. Paige up bodily, carried him
through the door, and with the frame
hanging around him deposited him out
in the main hall, fifteen feet distant.
He was notscnt by the broken glass nor
hurt in any Washington Star.
