him to get whatever he wanted Mt auy time.
SO his home was provided for, even if the
natural supplies failed. The cause of tho
arrangement VAS net want.

its misrepresentation are manifest. Metho-
dist Pres chers are no: cra1led in bsis Of

Getting Information In Congress.

Stewart L. Woodford was a member OF
congress from Brooklyn not long after the
war He was one Of the sensible chaps who
didn't know it all at the beginning
For a month or so early in the session he
had to spend great deal of time in the de-
partments, and so he looked around for
somebody to keep him headed right on the
rare occasions when he appeared in the
house.
There was very shrewd looking person
who frequently occupied a seat near by,
and Woodford was SO struck by his appear
ance that he got in the habit of asking his
advice whenever in doubt about question.
One day he strolled in during a roll call
Just before his name was reached. He
didn't know what was up, but his un-
known friend, as usual. told him how to
vote.
When the result was announced, he dis
covered to his chagrin that he had voted
against most Of the other members of hi
party. That worried him a little but h,
kept mum, and sure enough few day
later it appeared that he had voted righl
and that the other fellows were wrong.
Then it occurred to him to find out The
name of the far seeing member who always
knew about everything and never took any
part in debate So he turned to friend fo1
information.
What is his nameW repeated his friend
in response to the question. Why, my
dear fellow, he is not a member at all. II,
is the clerk Of the postofice committee"
Woodford tells this tale himself, so II
must be true.-New York Recorder.

Utilization of Waste.

The discovery that the leaf Of the pine
apple plant can be wrought into service
able cloth is one of those newly found facts
that are constantly proving how much
there is yet to discover in nature. As the
plant is extensively grown In Florida a
new industry in time will spring up there,
and the producers of the delicious pineap-
pie will have new source Of profit at their
command. But it does not speak well for
the boosted inventive genius Of America
that pineapple fiber cloth has been manu-
featured for some time in Central Amer
lea, and that it is now an article Of export.
This is, however, only one Of the discov-
cries made in recent years by which waste
material is being utilized. II would puzzle
any one but an expert to go into store to-
day and tell from what material percent
age of the goods are manufactured. Grass
timber, sawdust and other products that
were once rejected as useless are now saved
and put to practical use. The Hollanders
have even discovered how to convert the
peat from boys into the soft woods, which
can be spun into cloth, rugs and blankets
at half the cost these goods can be made
from wool grown on the sleeps back. Such
a discovery ought to open before Ireland
and some other countries the prospect Of a
great industry which will increase their
prosperity and commercial Importance

Carnations, daisies and occasionally half
blown rosebuds that have been used as
boutonnieres in the evening may by care
full management be kept fresh enough to
wear next day. A man in town who has a
pardonable penchant for frequently wear
ing buttonhole bouquet, yet does not wish
to spend from 1.60 to $5 day on this lux.
uious fancy, puts away his boutonnieres
at night as carefully as woman does her
jewels. He makes hole through a paste
board card, clips the end Of the flower and
puts 1t through the hole In the pasteboard.
He then puts the card over glass full Of
water. The delicate petals Of the flower are
thus prevented from touching the water,
and the stem is in its full length. As every-
body knows, water on the petals Of cut
flowers destroys their freshness. A bunch
of carnations may be kept together and
their stems put through a stable hole in
the pasteboard card. Daisies should bs
separated and the stems put through In
dividual holes.-New York Herald.

AFTER RAIN.

Clouds rifted seward drifted like white sails
A silver rain upon the tangled grasses,
A sweet wind on the mountain where It
passes
Wen follow sunward by the lichened rails.
Within the gray, thin shadow OF the beeches,
BY white pools sleeping in the yellow sun,
On fountain slopes where sparkling shadows
run
Beyond the meadows into piney reaches
Your hand, dear, so-I'll guide you where the
flowers
Are new blown, blue and golden: where the
drumming
or some lone partridge sounds, and brown
bees humming,
Into the silentnesses of dim bowers.

HOW TO GET STRONG.
he Samsonian Sandow Tells How He
Studied Model Statue in Milan.

he Samsonian sandow TelIs How He
Studied Model Statue In Milan.
Great strength is created, not made,
says Sandow, in the New York Morn
Ing Journal mean by that remark
that the bone and sinew must be of
the right material, else any amount of
training will fail to develop strength.
1t has been my experience that many
have been unable to arrive at salts
factory results through inefficient
training.
The fault lies with the trainers. To
add strength to limb and muscle re.
quires more than running and dieting
What is flesh for one person may be
fish for another. A careful study of
the laws of hygiene and anatomy must
be q part of the knowledge of the
trainer, and his discretionary powers
must play an active part in the train.
ing of his subject.
The training of a man who makes
his appearance In the prize ring is diff
ferent from that given a man who uses
his strength in lifting and carrying
weights. A very good model for the
latter class to follow Is statue of
some one of the heroes of olden
times, when men were bred for the
arena. Man was nearer perfection in
those days than he is at the present
time.
Dissipation and vice have reduced us
in strength and physique, and If the
pace is kept up doubt not that few
centuries hence we shall be race Of
consumptive pigmies. Years ago,
when I was boy, with my father Wis.
tied Milan, and there in the art gal.
leries found the model l desired to
copy. Day after day l visited the
model, each time studying new mus
Gle or new bump. Before long had
photographed that statue SO firmly on
my mind that could bring it before
my gaze at will, and it was my only
trainer during my hours of exercise.
The growth of strength can only be
ascertained by increasing the weight,
but it Is dangerous to test your powers
too far. Fools have attempted to lift
more than their reason dictated, and
have met with failure. The wise man
will continue to live SO long as his
egotism remains dormant.
