Pecuiiarities of Senators.

Twenty of the senators served in the
Confederate army during the war and 16
in the Union army. The man with the
longest time to serve is Edward O. Wal
thai of Grenada, Miss, who has been re-
elected by tie legislature of his state for
the term ending 1901. The most Gull
tured senator is Henry Cabot Lodge of
Massachusetts, who is an author, artist,
linguist, scholar and society man.
The handsomest is Charles Fl. Gibson
of Maryland. The most senatorial is
Alfred H. Colquitt Of Georgia, whose
father and grandfather sat in the senate
before him. The haughtiest is J. Donald
Cameron Of Pennsylvania, whose unique
distinction it is never to say word in
the senate unless he moves to adjourn.
The richest, now that Stanford is dead,
would seem to be John P. Jones Of Ne
vada, who bestows gold dollars on the
beggars Of Washington. The one most
celebrated outside of his own country is
John Sherman The most abused is MAJ
thew Stanley Quay Of Pennsylvania. The
most punctilious is Calvin S. Brice of
Ohio, who changes his shirt three times
every day. The most temperate is David
B. Hill of New York, who neither drinks,
smokes, swears, CANDLES nor eats dam
ties. The strongest is William B. ALI
son of Iowa, who coald almost fell an OK
with his fst.-C ncinnati Commercial

The o. p. #. President.

In an article on the scarcity Of money
one of the leading New York journals
remarked ''that nothing like such strin-
gency in money matters had been known
but once since the days Of the %. p. F. ,
president" A reader who s'reads and re-
fleets on these things" writes to the edi-
tor to inquire who the O. P. F. president
was and how the sobriquet was be-
slowed. In answer to this will say:
The letters o. P. E.. stand for Old Pub
lie Functionary, nickname sometimes
applied to James Buchanan. He be-
slowed the nickname upon himself in his
annual message to congress in 1869, in
which the following expression occurred:
"This advice proceeds from the heart
Of an old public functionary, one whose
services commenced in the last genera
ton, among the wise and conservative
statesmen Of that day, now nearly all
passed away, and whose first and dearest
wish is to leave his country tranquil,
prosperous, united and powerful" st.

Since girls have gone mad on the shirt
waist question they've had some little
shirt button experiences Of their own.
What can be more provoking than to
have to institute search from garnet to
cellar for handful Of little wiggly gold
studs? What can make ones temper
twist itself into more hard knots than to
drop pretty little shirt button on the
floor of dark closet2 And isn't it an
noying when your hair is all curled and
your face all nicely powdered and your
hands all white and free from dust and
you have to dive under bed or poke
your umbrella under bureau to coax a

hiding placer Girls are beginning to

The JUDGMENT DAY.
Its Near Approach Has Been Many
Times Predicted.

In All Ages Commissions of Nature Have
Produced Popular Alarms-How Lieu
tenant rotten rnterprets the Signs of the
Times-He Foresees the Millennium.
Few facts in history are more remark
able than the .periodiclty OF popular
alarms about the approach OF the end of
the world and the day OF Judgment.
The signs accepted as portentous OF the
last great cataclysm have been many and
various, and men have meyer been lack
ing to take advantage Of She delusion for
the furtherance of objects dear to them,
and even for their own financial profit.
To the long prevalence Of a scare OF this
kind more than to any other cause may
be attributed the great revival OF inter
est in religious matters during the tenth
century and the erection OF many OF the
churches and other ecclesiastical edifices
that remain today as mute but eloquent
architectural testimonies OF mems faith
in Christianty's saving power.
Wars, famines. pestilences, ecllpses,
comets and earthquakes have all more
than once been among the immediate
causes of these popular panics, but his
tory shows that whether they became
general or were merely local they al
ways had the assistance of prophets who
based their dire predictions on the still
older prophecies of holy writ. The Chris
