Sergeant-at-arms Bright. Chaplain Milhurn.
 OFFICERS OF THE SENATE.
 men who possess the esteem of their old colleagues, and 10 years ago when Gen eral Anson G. McCook. a popular con- gressman from New York, failed of re- election he was promptly placed in that position. General McCook is now sue ceeded by General William R. Cox of North Carolina, also an ex-congresSman and a man of many friends. General Cox was born in North Carolina and educated in Nashville, where he studied and practiced law. He entered the Con federate army as a major of the North Carolina troops and was promoted to the rank of brigadier general. Since the war General Cox has Practiced law at Raleigh and has served three terms in congress.
 Colonel Richard Jesse Bright of h. diana, the new sergeant-at-arms, filled the same office during the last period of Democratic ascendancy in the senate from 1879 to 1883. Colonel Bright was also sergeant-at-arm of the last three Democratic national conventions. He was born in Madison, Ind, March 14. 1888, and after graduating at Brown
 
 law i'll his native town. In 1868 he pur- chased the Indianapolis Sentinel and conducted that paper for three years. Since 1885 Colonel Bright has p0Icticed law in Washington. The salary of his position is $4 ,920 year.
 Rev. W. H. Milburn, who has for years been known as the blind chaplain of the house." has now been transferred to .k ;,, l,l in 1923 and for over 40 years has been totally blind. In 1S43 he became Meth odist preacher in Illinois. He was elect ed chaplain of congress in 1S45 and again in 1853 and 1885. The chaplain of each branch draws 5000 year.
 Of the house offices the clcrkship is the most important and remunerative, carrying a salary of q 800. The door keeper probably stands second in influ- ence on account of the patronage at his l disposal. James Kerr, who is now serv- ing his second term as clerk, was born i'll Mifflin county, Pa, in 1851. He now | dwells in Cleartield county and is en- gagged in coal mining and railroad busi- ness Mir. Kerr was chairman of the Democratic state committee in Pennsyl- vania in 1890 and 1891 and conducted the successful Pattison campaign. | Doorkeeper Alden Bailey Hurt occu- pied the same office in the Fiftieth con gress. He was born in Mississippi S5 years ago and was elected to the legis- lature at the age of 9. He occupied q position in the postofice department in N Washington for a number of years and is now president of the News Publish ing company at Chattanooga, Tenn.

CARE OF THE SHOES.
Flannel Cloth and vaseline Better Ina
 Any Polish.


 If you would have your shoes retair their pristine freshness longer than ( week, do not treat them with polishei and dressings, each one of which claimi to be the best and least injurious. Al soon as you come in from walk dust them carefully with soft flannel kep, for that purpose. Let them air as yor do your underclothes, and when they art dry stuff them with soft tissue paper Button or lace them over this. In thii way they will keep their shape for { long time.
 When they are so worn that they mus be frightened, rub them with a f1anne cloth and little vaseline. Apply the grease carefully, not merely smearine it over the surface of the leather, but rubbing it in. When it is completely ab sorbed, rub briskly with fresh flannel
 Do not wear your walking boots 1T the house and do not walk in your slip pers. Keep pair of shoes suitable foi each occasion. In this way, though you may seem to have an extravagant sup ply, you will be really displaying ar economical spirit. Shoes worn indoors and out not only soon lose their bright ness and neatness, but last only about
  one-third as long as if they were occa sionally relieved.
 Have low canvas and russet shoes fol outdoor games. Have pair of stout full length boots if you are mountain climber or record breaker in pedes trianism. For such feats as those tho ankles require all the support they car obtain. Have pair of patent leather shoes for your calling and ceremoniou. affairs, a pair of slippers for genera morning wear and a pair of extremely dainty ones for evening wear. Witl this supply rightly treated you will fint yourself properly prepared as to shoe' for any summer emergency, and yoT will not spend any more money thar the woman who has only two pairs at { time, but who has to replace those every month or so.

Wet your broom. knock it against the side of the bucket to get out all the drops, sweep couple of yards, then rinse off the broom again. Continue this until you have gone over the entire sur face. If the carpet is very much soiled. the water should be changed several times. Slightly moistened Indian meal is also used by the oldest housewives.

BRAIps AND KNOTS.

and beautiful styles, which have only tc be seen to be admired and initiated. Here are few such:
 The young person with fairly clas- sical outline can indulge in the coil mid way between the top of the head and the nape of the neck. If the locks are waved lightly back, and a few-a very few loose Curls lie upon the forehead and cling about the neck. the effect is still prettier.
 The girl to whom styles quaint rather than classical are becoming may try the knot at the point where the top ot the head rolls into the back. Her front and side hair must be very loosely gath cred up, or the effect will be far from pleasing.
 When one wishes to look especially stately and does not intend to attempt q hat. the softly puffed coils high on the top of the head are becoming. And foI every day wear. with the every day sail or, the knot or braid in the back remain: the best possible coiffura-

Have a Sewing Room.

The wise housewife is she who would rather dispense with a reception room and have a sewing room than vice versa. The sewing room does not need to be large. It must not contain carpets or upholstered furniture. The floor should be stained and vanished, so that the daily brushing up may be easily accom- plished. There should be hooks on the wall. from which the piecehags should hang. Several shelves are necessary, where boxes containing buttons, trim mings. findings, patterns and the like should be kept. A lapboard, an armless rocking chair. dress form and big closet for unfinished work are other nee essarieS. The machine should be placed in strong light, and there should be a long mirror, i'll which the hang" of a skirt may be viewed with ease.
