or Two,

WAsHISGToN, March 16.-[Special -
The city is still thronged with applicants
for office, or the friends of applicants
who are making life a burden to senators
and congressman who are here.
From present indications, the offices
will be doled out very slowly especially
the pr ;sidential postofices.
Major Robbins after failing on the
Mexican mission, applied for consul-gen-
eralship to Havana, Cuba, but after
waiting some time with little encourage
ment he packed bis grip and left. A few
hours later the president sent for him ,
but hearing he had taken his departure,
the president gave the office to another.
Gen. w. r. Cox, Of our state, has a
good showing to be chosen secretary of
the senate next Tuesday but it is hard
to tell what the result will be.
Capt. N. A. Ramsey is applicant for
consulate in some point in Chill, but
does not seem to be sanguine.
Col. Paul F. Faison, of Raleigh, late
superintendent of the state prison, ar
rived to day.
Mr.. NJ. II. Pink, Of Lexington, is here
working for the collectorship of the
western district, so it is said.
Col Bob Glenn is most sure to secure
the United States district attorneyship
for Western North Carolina.
DIR. G w Sanderlin, late auditor of our
state, who has been here since the inau-
gural, leaves for home to morrow.
The brute Schneider, who murdered
his wife and mother in law a year ago,
was hung to day in due form, and the
world is better off, He was one of the
worst criminals ever known ADAMS.

A Day I'm Red

we are naturally given to condemn
and desplse the idea of remaining in bed
when our health is good and all our vi
tai forces in fair working order Apart
from the matter of our nightly rest. we
rarely think of "a day in bed" either as
preventative of health or conducive RI
longevity Yet | am convinced there is
TO be said in favor of "a day in
bed now and then. rs an aid to health
IN the middle aged and as a measure
tending to prolong life in the old.
In bed the whole muscular system Is
at ease and the wear and tear of the
BODY Is reduced to a minimum. The
processes of getting rid of waste matters
are IN allegiance, there is less waste to
get nd OF. and lungs. skin and kidneys
have a measure of comparative repose
1he nervous system. above all. is soothed
and comforted by the day in bed"
AnNeties and worries disappear after
the rest. and the individual eturu TO
the workaday world refreshed and rem
ovated. physically and mentally. in a
degree such as the actions of no medi-
clnes could have accomplished.
In a word. the person who ENJOYS "a

whose fires are banked down and
energies are recruiting for the re-
newal OF the work of tomorrow.-Health

An Absent-Mlnded Man,

Johns Hopkins University still Cos
sips of Prof. Sylvester, the marvellous
mathematician who came over from
England to teach the science in which
all his interests centered. His mind
was ever occupied with mathematical
problems, and all sorts of things hap
pened to him on the streets Of Balti-
more. The most amusing episode of
his life on this side, however, grew
out Of voyage to Europe. While
abroad he made some highly impor-
tant calculations, but on reaching
Baltimore he found that the paper on
which he figured was missing. So
important were the calculations that
he took steamer back to England in
order to look up the papers. He did
not find them, and started back to
the United States deeply disappoint-
ed; but during the voyage he acct
dentally discovered, in a pocket of the
overcoat he had worn on the previous
voyage, the very thing he was in
search of.

Where Tact Was Needed.

A distinguished foreigner visiting
our shores, on meeting an American
author of some distinction, blandly
asked him if he had ever written any
thing. Here was stab to admins
ter to a mans vanity A woman
would never have made a blunder of
that sort; she would have found out
all about the writer's books before
she met him, and made some clever
reference to them before she had
been five minutes in his company. 1t
is hard to imagine situation from
which woman's tact will not ex-
tricate her. An amusing story is told
in this connection by a well-known
authOress: While in Trouyille, l met
a young American and his wife.
knew the latter quite well. In fact,
she had been seamstress for me,
and the man she married was one of
PEiladelphia's Hundred and Fifty.
She was clever, pretty, well educated,
and an improvement in her fortunes
enabled her to meet her husband in
the regular way. He married her,
but was not aware of the social posi-
tion she had formerly occupied. L
met them on the promenade and
could hardly disguise my surprise;
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1893-03-30

but her tact came to the rescue aE6
saved us all from an awkward posi-
tlon. Here is what she said to me,
even before | had a chance to catch
my breath: 81 am so glad to see
you We need no introduction. What
a delightful time l had at you house
In New York the last time you were
so good as to entertain mel We
would like to stay and talk with you,
but have a pressing engagement,
and with this my friends pretty wife
grasped her husbands arm and pulled
him away. While the whole pro-
ceedlng may be looked upon as one in
which assurance played its part, the
wife displayed a tact that to me was
charming. She was quite good enough
for her husband, and knew it, but
was afraid that in an unguarded mo-
ment l might say something that
would give him an idea Of the state
affairs before she had the opportunity
to enlighten him. That man will
have happy domestic life, for no.
where is tact more indispensable than
In the home.

ordinary time is fifteen or twenty
seconds, At night alarm the men
slide down on poles from the loft, the
horses scramble to their feet, the
doors in front Of them fly open, and
out they rush. Each horse goes to
his proper place, and the driver from
his seat, let down the harness. Two
or three men, standing at the pole,
snap the collars together, fasten the
reins to the bits, and off they go,
The author Of "Road, Track, and
Stable" says that teaching a new
horse to come out of his stall at the
signal, and range himself alongside
the pole, is not so difficult as might
be supposed,
Imagine a pair Of new horses as
signed to an engine. The surround
ings are more or less terrible to them,
but they are very gently and carefully
handled, and gradually lose their
fear. Their tuition begins at once,
and the driver is their teacher, as
sisted by the other men.
The ordinary signal is given as If
fer a fire. The stall doors open, and
the horses are led out, put in position,
and in few minutes led back. This
process is perhaps a dozen times re-
peated. Great pains are taken that
the animals shall not strike against
anything, or be by any means fright
ened.
The unusual spectacle Of harness
suspended in air is apt to disturb
them at first, but they are led slowly
up to it, and induced to smell of it
and inspect it on all sides.
After they have been led to their
positions a few times, they are al
lowed to come of their own accord
when the signal strikes, though a
man stands behind them to touch
them up little, if they do not start
promptly at the opening Of the doors.
Two weeks constitute the average
period of instruction, but horses have
been known to learn in one lesson.
Others, however, are months in ar
irving at equal proficiency.
A pair Of new horses in a Boston
engine-house were led out three
times in this manner. They were
then left to themselves. The gong
sounded, the stall doors opened and
the pair trotted out, each going to
his place beside the pole, They had
caught the idea at once.
