SENATOR MoRoAN's START.

Tho Turning Point In His Life Was an
Accident.
Senator Morgan attributes his success
in life to an accident. When, accord
ing to the Detroit Free Press, he started
out in his native town to practice law
he could not get n case. and was ON the
verge of starvation. lie decided to go
to Texas and grow up with the coun-
try, packed his trunk, locked his Office
door and stepped into the street, where
he found himself face to face with q
countryman, who was looking at the
signs.
Say, stranger" the farmer asked,
'lsin You tell me if thar's Teller bout
ycres named Morgan, John Morgan?"
'"That's my name, SIR" Mr.. Morgan
replied, pausing in his fight.
Air you in or hurry, young man?"
I'm just off to Texas"
"TcXas. ell? Can't Texas wait day
or two? I've got er ease want looked
after and kinder thought you'd do the
job"
The prospect of having n case at last
was sufficient to cause the young lawyer
to turn back and hear what the farmer
had to say. 1t had something TO do
with the recovery of n piecG of land.
II took it up and won it," said the
senator, in rccounting the incident,
''nnd from that day to, this have never
known what it was to want dollar"

FIXED WHILE YOU WATT


HAve Your Friends Skeleton Made Dec
oratIve and Useful.
There lives in Philadelphia an old
Frcnchman who, according to Lippin-
colts Magazine, for over q quarter of n
century has followed the profession Of
"articulator of human bones" The
sign board over his door bears the sim
pie legend m. de Blanque, Parfu-
merle" He runs the little shop simply
as Il decoy, for he has found it ncccs-
.sary to ply his queer trade ION the
quiet" In rear room the walls are
decorated with skeletons in all sorts of
grotcsque positions. -Four hideous
skulls grin from the posts of the bed,
and close by stands 4 skeleton with arms
outstrctched, doing duty as n clothes
rack. the room being lit by Il lamp made
of Il skull, which is suspended from the
ceiling with thongs of tanned human
hide.
When the Knights of Pythias were
organized some years ago, the demand
for skeletons increased, as they were
used 20 a great extent in the lodge
rooms. Dc Blanquc prospered as con-
sequence. The price of skeletons varies
according to their degree of hardness
and whitcncss. The genuine imported
article costs anywhere from thirty to
thirty-five dollars, and the domestic
twenty dollars, but the trade is about
lost to this country, because they can
set up skeleton so much cheaper in
France.
There are old-teeth dealers who sell
the product of many aching jaws to
these articulhtors for rs much as n dol
lar n quart. They have often to buy
more than this to get n tooth to suit,
for a skeleton with a full set of teeth
is worth half again it's value otherwise.

A Mystery Explained.

Why does not n man weigh pound
moro Immediately after eating pound
weight of food? A little reflection will
readily explain this apparent mystery.
During the process of mnstication, de-
glutltlon, etc, certain muscles arc
brought into active play, and the exer-
else of any muscle nccessitates n
temporary waste of its tissues, and
certain amount Of carbon is eliminated
and passes Off during the course of the
meal. This loss, however, is trifling as
compared with that due to respiration
and pcrspiration, both Of which are in
creased during the various operations
OF making meal. The length of time
one may take to consume a pound of
food makes but little difference to
these losses, for il it is eaten Icisurely
there is but slight increase Of respirn-
ton, whereas if it is hurried through
both are abnormally accelerated.
Hence, by the time the pound is eaten,
the consumer has lost npprcciably in
moisture and carbonic acid.

Pelican Pouches.

The best tobacco bags are made not
OF leather or rubber, but of the pouch
Of pelican. The monstrous membrane
which fills out the lower bill Of the pei
lean is soft and thin, of very fine tex
turc, easily tanned, and, when. dressed,
u beautiful article of leather, pos
scssing the quality of being as i'm
pcrvious to water rs india rubber. To-
hacco kept in it will never become dry,
hut retains it's sweetness and aroma
even longer than when preserved in tin
foil. In the southern seaboard states
its value is we'll understood md tobacco
pouches made OF it arc very common.

THE TRANS-MISSISSIPPI con-
GRESS.

A congress OF delegates from the
twenty-five States west Of the Missis-
sippi river is to be held at Ogden,
Utah, beginning April oath, to last
five days. Matters Of interest to the
people Of the west, such rs the re-
monetization of silver. irrigation Of
arid lids, transportati IN rates, ETC.,
will be discussed. The executive
committee announce that there will
be no program during the day sessions
of the congress, and members reor-
ganized by the presiding officer will
be permitted TO address the conven-
ton on any subject of interest to the
west. 1t is more satisfactory to the
delegates to let them conduct the
convention during the day sessions as
they deem proper. At night, how
Ovea, there will be program, and
speakers have been selected from all
political parties.
Among the speakers who are ex-
pscted to address the congress are
Senator Stewart, Of Nevada, ex.Sen-
ator Ingalls,, Of Kansas, Congressman
Bryan, Of Nebraska, Governor Hogg,
OF Texas, Congressman Patterson,
Of Colorado, and Congressman Dins-
more, of Arkansas, Hartman, OF Mon
tana, and Ellis, of Oregon.
The congress will endeuvor to direct
the attention Of the United States
Congress to matters in which the
States vest Of the Mississippi are par
ticulurly interested. These States
have a representation Of l32 members
at Washington and if the Ogden con-
gress can agree on measures upon
which they Gun act together, their in
huence will be great in shaping legis-
lation.
A rumor has gone abroad that a
number of gold men from San Iran
cisco will attend the congress and en-
deavor TO prevent the adoption of
resolutions favorable to free coin age.
AS each State is entitled tc thirty
votes in the congress, the free coinage
sentiment is likely to predominate,
and any attempt to endorse the tinan-
cial policy Of Wall street will doubt
less be voted down.-Repo Journal.
We received u letter from j. III.
Macmillan, OF Ogden, formerly of
Winnemucca, yesterday in which he
he says that the only State there ia
any doubt OF being represented at
tho congress is the State of Nevada.
Mr.. Macmillan says it 10 very impor-
tant that Nevada should send q strong
representation. We quote from his
letter as follows: / do hope that she
will send q good delegation from every
town. 1 think the silver question
will be more benefited by this con.
gress than anything else, which has
happened this year, unless we art
negligent to our interests and allow
tho gold-bugs to capture the conven
ton.
