WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, Oct, II, 1S93:-
ssLet them do as wish them to do, or
go home, - is the remarkable language
Mr.. Cleveland is reported to have used
in speaking of the Senate. The test of
physical endurance which begins in
the Senate on Wednesday of this week
is intended to force vote on the re-
peal bill. At least that is the impres
sion that Senator voorhees, wishes the
public to get of it. But its real pur-
pose. is to demonstrate to Mr.. Cleve-
land the impossibility of forcing vote
and to get him to listen to the advice
of hisCabinet and many of the shrewd-
est Senators and Representatives in his
party and consent to the adoption Of
compromise amendment that will
secure the votes of three-fourths of
the Senators. In holding a continuous
session the unconditional repeal Sena-
tors play their last trump card; they
will have to keep forty-one Senators
continuously on the floor, as the oppo-
nents of unconditional repeal have
given notice that they will only keep
two Senators on the floor at time
one to speak and one TO watch the
o hers-thus allowing the rest Of their
foTcAf to rest. The session which

Poisoned by scrofuIa

isthe sad story of many lives made
miserable through no fault of their
own. Scrofula is more especially than
any other hereditary disease, and for
this simple reason: Arising from inn
pure and insufficient blood the disease
locates itself in the limphatics, which
are composed of white tissues; there
is period of foetal life when the whole
body consists of white tissues, and
therefore the unborn child is especially
susceptible TO this dreadful disease. But
there is remedy for scrofula whether
hereditary or acquired. 1t is Hoods
Sarsaparilla, which by has a powerful
effect on the blood. expels all trace Of
the disease and gives to the vital fluids
the qualify and color Of health. Ii you

The average woman's mind becomes
unsettled on the subject of clothes as
soon as the seasons change. She begin
to consider that question Of make-over
and economy and must-haves which
has grown to be part of her existence.
Sometimes fashions are so. freakish she
quite despairs, but this fall she can do
something with last winters and last
Springs purchases.
The immense, wide and heavy cloth
skirts we had made in the early spring
must come to pieces and be remodeled
into the neat and more sensible skirt
which is full in the back and gored at
the front sides. Make it short and don't
trim much. If you cannot get long
coat of your material; have belted
waist and little imitation basque contin-
uation. Or if you have an old velvet or
plush cloak, finish out your costume
with coat of it, and behold, you will
have neat and stylish dress for but
little outlay.
There will be great deal of economy
practiced everywhere this fall, and
blessed be she who does it most grace
fully. It may not be a heroic thing to
remake dress or trim hat, but the
women who do heroic things are the
ones most likely to do these things. It
is the spirit.

brings before the public many incl
dents of the almost forgotten past, but
which still are of interest to every lover
Of invention and national progress.
Mrs. Cornelia Livingston Fulton
Crary, daughter of the world-famous
inventor of the steamboat, Robert Full
ton, died in New York on Friday in
her eighty-second year. She was the
widow of Edward G. Crary, and was
the last of her generation.
Mrs. Crary was born on August 6,
1872, in the suburban town of Rose
Hill, which is now West Nineteenth
street, where her father was spending
the summer working on his submarine
inventions. She was married from
the old Livingston manor house, at
Tivotdale, then the home of her cousin,
Mortimer Livingston. Her mother
who married Fulton in 1906, was Miss
Harriet Livingston, and her mothers
mother. Mrs. Walter Livingston, was
Miss Cornelia Schuyler, an intimate
friend of George Washington.
Mrs. Crary was all that her distin-
guished lineage promised. She was
tall and stately, with fair hair and
beautiful blue eyes, that were a con-
slant toast during her bellehood days.
Her personal characteristics were those
of the Livingstons, but she was men,
tally replica of her distinguished
father, even to his aptitude for me-
chanics. She was fine musician and
capital linguist. She spent the early
years of her married life abroad. Mr..
Crary died while in the thirties, leaving
her with Ave children, two Of whom
have since died. The three living are
Mrs. Herman II. Cammann and Charles
Franklin Crary, of New York City,
and the Rev. DR.. Robert Fulton Crary,
rector of the Church of the Holy Com
forter, Poughkeepsie, N. Y.
It was in Rose Hill that Fulton per-
fected his plans for submarine batter
les, which the Government purchased
in 1909 for 1000, and his model of
the first steamboat, the Clermont. He
built the boat at Browns ship-yards on
the East River, and made the first trip
to Albany in July, 1907, In October,
1908, he started the first passenger line
up the river and in 1911 built the first
Mississippi River boat at his own
yards.
Mrs. Crary was not born during
these exciting times, but she learned
every detail of them, when she was>Old
enough to talk, and was famous for
her fund of "reminiscences in her later
years.
Nine. Carnot, the wife of the Presi-
dent of France, has the reputation of
being the best dressed woman in that
country of well-dressed women. She
is grandmother, but there are times
when, it is said, she looks not m re
than twenty-five years old. She is a
pronounced brunette, with not a line
of silver in her black hair, not
wrinkle on her face and the brilliancy
of youth in her eyes.
She is not only what the wife of the
head of country should be in the
matter of looks and gowns, but she is
one of the most learned women in
Europe, understanding international
affairs as well as her husband. At the
same time she is tactful and gracious
society woman. Another virtue of
SURPRISING worth which she possesses
is the ability to give perfect dinners.
Naturally, she is favorite in France,
with such claim to respect.

that hung
Trancei mid her stars to listen, when, mine
own,
Those few short words arose from heart to
And as You whispered them life changed to be
Something rapt. glorifed. sublime. to me.
The soft gloom hung about US like veil
Only the glimmer in the western skies
Crept in to show your lips were passion pale,
To read the rapture in your half closed eyes,
And then those words were spoken, and the
rest
Was hushed in happy silence on your breast
Morning and daylight swept away the dream,
Life clasped her letters and resumed her
sway, s-. -s- IS
Only soft, sweet knowledge, like gleam
fingered around each hour of all the day.
And even the bitter ring Of the farewell
With gentler note upon the spirit fell.
And since, my darling. though broad leagues

Are spread between u.s. though dim, dull and

Is life without the sunshine of thy face. -
Is life without the echo of your foot. =
So all encompassed by your love am
That my blank ways are trod contentedly.
Since in all evil things think how you
Would soothe them-in all happy things

How you would prize them-set to measure

With thought, faith. hope, with life and love

Mistakes About Alcohol.

There is a common belief that alcohol
gives new strength and energy after
fatigue sets in. The sensation of fatigue
is one Of the safety valves of our ma
chine. To stitle the feeling of fatigue, in
order to do more work, is like closing
the safety valve so that the boiler may
be overheated and explosion result. It
is commonly thought that alcoholic
drinks aid digestion, but in reality the
contrary would appear to be the case,
for it has been proved that meal with
out alcohol is more quickly followed by
hunger than meal with alcohol. In
connection with the sanitation of armies
thousands of experiments upon large
bodies of men have been made and have
led to the result that, in peace or war,
in every climate-in heat, cold or rain
soldiers are better able to endure the
fatigue Of the most exhausting marches
when they are not allowed any alcohol
at all. That mental exertions of all
kinds are better undergone without al
cohol is generally admitted by most peo-
pie who have made the trial. Westmin-
ster Review.

Prices For Sermons.

Much has been said of the practice of
buying and selling sermons, practice,
by the way, of no very special novelty.
Just before Toplady was about to be or
dained, Osborne, the bookseller, the
friend of johnson, offered to supply him
with stock of original sound sermons
for trife. II would sooner buy Sec
ondhand clothes" was the tart reply.
"Dont be offended said Osborne. 81
have sold many to bishop" The price
OF sermons, as of all else, has varied
with the times. In 1910 bishop of
Llandaf received from the churchwar-
dens of st. Margaret's, Westminster, for
sermon on the Annunciation, pike,
price Is. Id, gallon of wine, pence,
and boat hirein all IS. I'D. In the
seventeenth century sermons seem to
have been valued at about S shillings
each. Exchange.

The Servant Problem Not New.

Students of household management
will learn with satisfaction that in 1866
many of the evils now to be complained
of were distinctly recognized. Some of
the more curious fines which were i'm
posed by a country gentleman upon Of
Tending servants were penny for leav-
ing door open, missing prayers, leav-
ing beds unmade after presumably a.
n.y., and cooks could only have follow
ers at the rate of penny fine for each
one. A curious custom seems to have
then existed that entree to the house was
denied during the family meals, and as
the fine for allowing breach of this
custom was heavy it may be presumed
that the sin was esteemed great. -Lady's

KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE COMPASS.

Keep your eye on the compass
If the sea runs high
And the oceans inky pillows
Mock the blackness of the sky.
When beating up against the winds,
So pitiless and strong,
Keep your eye on the compass,
And you can't 60 wrong.
Keep your eye on the compass
And your white light trimmed,
Though the moon hide in the heavens
And the stars are dimmed.
Though the voyage may be lonely
And the way seem long,
Keep your eye on the compass.
And you can't go wrong.
Keep your eye on the compass;
1t will guide you DER the deep,
Will show you where the north star is
And where the flowers sleep
In the sunny south. No matter
IT the way seems long,
Keep your eye on the compass.
And you can't go wrong.
