THE WORK OF CONGRESS.
Carlisle's Successor sworn In-FiItbus
 tering in the House.


 WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-The desk occu pied by Senator Carlisle of Kentucky when he resigned his seat in the Senate in order to take one at the Cabinet table, was decorated with the model of a log cabin standing in a garden of roses It was in honor of MT. Carlisle's successor, MT. Lindsay, who appeared and took the oath of office and subsequently, cast his first vote as a Senator on a proposition respecting site for new government printing office in Washington.
 That subject occupied over two hours of yesterdays session and the result was 1t were voted down, and that no decision Rt all was made.
 Another ''site'' question-that of the New York Custom House was also dis cussed at much length, and the result was that an appropriation of $500, 900 in addition to a former one of $1, 400, 900 to pay for the site was made Another sub ject which gave rise to rather heated dis cussionS was one in reference to the ex- penses of the soldiers homes and that discussion drifUed naturally to the ques- tion of pensions.
 In the House the hours were mostly employed in tillibustering against the Car Coupler bill. Some time was devoted to the consideration of the Postot1ice App preparation bill, the debate on which was confined to the Special Service provision. But the Car Coupler measure was the one which met with determined opposi- tion. Richardson Oem., Tenn.) led the opposition forces and by parliamentary manuvers prevented any action being taken upon it.

An Interesting Question

Men are as common as potatoes. We see them everywhere. Still the most in teresting object in this world to look at Is famous man. People go in focks to see him. It is called hero worship. It ought to be called soul worship, because it is the soul you are admiring. Have you ever seen an ugly face grow handsome after a little acquaintance
 From the soul the body form doth take.
 For soul Is form, and doth the body make,
 CHARGER.
 We believe in monuments to public men It attracts the attention of our youth, and is healthy inspiration. Wa terbury is one of the best known inland cities in the world. Her industries go on uninterruptedly. We have no strikes. Eve'y sensible person is improving his condition. But the question is, to whom shall we build our first monument What name stands out in bold relief that we would consider worthy of the distinguish ed honor We need not care what out siders think. We must go on the princi- pie that every family loves its own, and we, the people of Waterbury, are one big family. It will be interesting to the peo- pie to know that we have let the contract for putting new front on our building, South Main and Grand streets. It will soon be finished and people will come from all parts to see it. Talk about your monuments This will be the monument that the people will flock to see. The fine hand of the skillful artist will here be seen at its best and the people will rise up and call the Waterbury Furniture com pany blessed. Our bui ding inside is complete and our trade is double what we expected at this time of the year. Our new crockery department is n model of excellence. Our carpet and stove depart ments are just what you would expect in n first class house. Remember that the wo- men of Waterbury God bless them-were unusually prolific last year, in honor of Columbus we suppose, and increased our population, to the inspiring tune of l l,2lO babies. We think we can hear their musical voices now, crying for the baby carriages which we have bought for them, and we stake our reputation on their beauty, style and finish Oh, they are elegant, and no mother who loves her child can afford to buy until she sees this line. We wont attempt to describe them; they must be seen to be appreciated, be- cause the low price and new style will surprise you. We guarantee our prices this year to be considerably lower than ever before. We can afford to Us we have increased our capacity in every direc tion. We are buying ln immense quanti' ties in every depStment, for cash. We own the buildings we occupy, and the rent We put back into the business. We have every advantage that money can afford. We are into business this year with both feet and we mean to agreeably surprise the people who visit us. Remem- Der our motto: We never fool the public.

NOTHING so much surprises English men who visit this country as the dig nifty and good manners of American workingmcn. An Englishman who found himself hard up in the far south and took to making orange boxes for living, declares that his fellow work CTS, mostly white mechanics, were all gentlemen. They saw that he had been accustomed to different mode of life, but all forebore to ask embarrassing questions, and, while none cringed be- fore his evidences of former good for tune, all were respectful of his superior education.

ACCORDING to a story il the Boston Herald cX-President Hayes did not carry q watch, the reason for which peculiarity illustrates one of the traits of his character. It appears that in his younger days the watch he then carried was the cause of sending two men to the penitentiary. It was stolen from his pocket; the thief was cap turcd, tried, convicted and sentenced to a term of years. Mir. Hayes recovered his watch, and a second time it was stolen. The thief turned out to be a poor man with large family, and after he was sent to the penitcntiary MT. Hayes came to the conclusion that he would get rid of the cause of so much trouble to his fellow men. Since then he never owned a watch.

So MANY Boston physicians fell into the way of assigning heart failure as the cause of death that the board of health refused to accept such certificates, and demanded a more exact statement of causes. They might as well have said, suggests a medical exchange, 'that their patients died because they were short of breath " That old familiar phrase as truly represents the cause of death in many cases as does heart fail ure. Indeed, death comes either through stoppage of the hearts action or stop ping of breathing. One may take brief precedence over the other, but neither shortness of breath nor heart failure can supply a satisfactory statement of the cause of death for statistical record.

winds carry the doors, IL any there be,
in the opposite direction. In style the
stable should harmonic with the ar
chitecture Of the house. A stable
should be made warm and have good
ventilation In order that the animals
shall remain in a healthy condition.
The drainage must not be forgotten,
for pure air cannot be had without good
drainage. The best way 10 drain a
stable is to construct a water tight
manure pit in the yard TO receive the
LIQUIDS and litter from the stall. This
manure pit should be provided with q
cover In order to prevent the escape OF
the ammonias from the manure when IL
Is desired to use for fertilizing purposes.
The dry litter will absorb the LIQUIDS,
and the rotting process will proceed
more rapidly. The waste pipe from the
stalls TO the manure pit should be oil
iron, tightly calked with picked oakum
and molten lead.
Water should be supplied inside the
building conveniently near the stalls and
should have q separate waste from the
manure pit, as should the carriage wash.
Where 1t is necessary to house horses
and cattle under the same roof, they
should be separated com pletely for sani-
tary causes.
