1t Was Supposed in Advance That He
Would BE Called Upon.
New YORK. Dec. 12.-In connection
with the failure of Toastmaster Ellery
Anderson, at the Reform club dinner on
Saturday night, to call on Speaker Crisp
for a speech, it might be added that Mr.
Anderson, Charles Fairchild and Mr..
Mcfarland of the Reform club knew in
advance that Mr.. Crisp expected to be
called upon and had a speech prepared.
MIR. Anderson was so informed by an
Associated Press representative. He ex-
pressed some surprise, but said he was
very glad to hear it, for Speaker Crisp
was sure to make an interesting speech.
Mr.. Mcfarland, who had the distribu-
ton of the tickets in charge, was seen at
the office of the Reform club on Saturday
before noon and was told by an Asso-
ciated Press reporter that typewriter
copies OF Speaker Crisp's speech had al
ready been sent out to the papers. He
remarked that he supposed Mr.. Crisp
would take the place on the programme
of Mr.. Morrison, who was unable to be
present. Shortly afterward, Mr. Fair
child was seen by a reporter and told
that Mr.. Crisp's speech had been re-
ceived by the Associated Press.

BERLIN, Dec. 12.-Notwithstanding tbs
conviction of Electors Ahlwordt and
Semitic, who accused the Hebrew gun
making firm of Lowe & Co. of furnish
ing the army with defective rifles, there
seems some doubt in the minds Of certain
members of the reichstag regarding the
quality of arms borne by the infantry.
At the session Of the house today several
questions we're asked on the subject.
Chancellor Won Caprivi said the quality
of the rifles in use by the army is thor

execution, and, he added, the weapons
were fully equal to the requirements OF
the present conditions of war. He in

Homestead People Give but Little Cred

HOMESTEAD, Pa, Dec. 12.-The report
of wholesale poisoning OF the men en-
ployed by the Carnegie company last Sep
TENDER is given but little credence by the
people here generally. DR.. Barton, a
prominent physician, said he attributed
the sickness to typhoid fever, and the
idea that the men were poisoned was alb
surd. All physicians and druggists seen
expressed themselves in like manner. A
small sized strike occurred at the mills
today. Eighteen men employed in the
transportation department struck and
were Immediately discharged.

P1TTsBURe, Dec. 12.-The officers of the

that the organization countenanced the
plot to poison non union men at work at

provide enough money for him to defrav
the expenses of himself and his adiutants
to the seat of war and make a Droner
show as commanding General of so con-
siderable an army at its Headquarters.
Napoleon borrowed money from his
friends, and after exhausting all his
credit had succeeded in collecting 70 OOO
francs. He gave the whole amount to
Junot, young officer who was known as
frequent visitor to the gaming table.
and told him either TO lose the whole
sum at the game or to win enough to re-

would depend upon his success whether
he could accept the appointment as COM

and also appoint him, Junot, as his adiu-
tant, as he had IN view. Junot went, as
ordered. Napoleon waited almost the
whole night for his return. Finally at 4
o'clock in the morning Junot entered
and gave Napoleon $1,000 francs with the
remark that he mad gambled away nearly
the whole sum OF 10000 francs until he
had at last succeeded in winning several

ABOUT PILLOWS FOR BEDS.
Their Use and Abuse-rhe Side O
Which to Sleep.

Their Use and Abuse-rhe Side on
Which to Sleep.
The use of pillow is not a matter of
mere blind usage. 1t has a physiological
basis. We sleep for the most part on the
side, and without a pillow the head would
be uncomfortably and harmfully lower
than the body. 1t will be remembered
that Jacob, when fleeing from Esau, took
stone for pillow. He needed sometime
for the purpose and nothing better than a
stono presented itself Such practices are
common in Africa at the present day.
Some people rest the neck instead OF the
head on hard pillows.
In Africa extraordinary headgears make
this practice necessary, and many a civil
ized woman has been compelled by
somewhat similar cOitfure to foreoo both
the pillow and the recumbent posture. A
consideration OF the physiological reason
for pillows Will suggest their proper
thickness. They should merely bring
the head to the natural level. Some
pillows are much to thick. BY bending
the neck unduly they interfere with the
outflow of the Venous blood from the
head. The pillow that just fills up the
space above the shoulder best suits the
end.
Again, pillows of feathers are obiec-
tionable. While they furnish the needed
support for the head, they are too heat
ing, as they have remarkable capacity
for holding. and accumulating heat.
1t should be remembered that more
blood, and hence more heat, goes to the
head than to any other part of the body.
Head-heating pillows are against the
wholesome maxim: keep the feet
warm, but the head cool" There is
nothing better than the hair pillow.
Further, the pillow is for the head, not
for the shoulders. To rest the shoulders
on the pillow defeats the very end for
which it is used.
