A Statement.
WACO, Dec

WACO, Dec ~, '93.
DEAR SIRs-In behalf OF MIR. H.
d. Kone and myself / thank your
paper for the correct reports given
the public of the proceedings Of our
trial in the federal court; and while
the result has been contrary to our
interest and expectations, and we
have accepted the decree of the
court, it is not from any sense Of
guilt, but from financial inability to
prosecute our defense further with.
out imposing hardships on loved
ones. All our means was sacrificed
for the suspension of the bank, for
which we are being punished.
Respectfully,
L. G. McCAY,

What Congress Means.

At the present time when all eyes
are turned toward Washington and
the people, in general. seem to De
manifesting keen interest In the do
Ings of our Senators and Congressman
there is danger Of q confusion In the
minds Of some owing to the several
and apparently contradictory meaning
OF the word Congress.
The original meaning and use OF the
word Congress was as collective term
by which the upper and lower branches
of our national government We're desig-
mated. The one being spoken ofas the
upper house of Congress, the other, as
the lower house.
But as the upper is made up ofSenators
IL came to be known as the Senate,
while the lower house became popular
as Congress.
The danger of confusion In the use OF
the word is In reading an article which
says Congress has repealed the Sher-
man BILL" or something similar, when
II has, and has not. The lower branch
Of Congress has repealed it, but the
Senate has NOT voted on the measure
yet, hence Congress connot be said to
have repealed 1t until both branches
have so acted. Just q little care will
soon lead to clear understanding Of
the dual use Of the word.

why IL Is "a Tabbie Cat -

Some writers on the curiosity Of ami
NAL nomenclature tell US that the reas-
on we call feline of certain markings
of color "tabby" cat is because
Tabitha was the goddess Of the crooked
clawed species. Wagner's "Names
and Their Meaning" although II has
. splendid department. on the nick
names Of birds, does not refer to those
applied to the animal species at all,
therefore 1t will be Of no use to consult
that work to find out why a "tabby''
cat bears its unique name, or why a
Jerusalem" donkey is 30 called. In a
curious old work (printed in London
In 1606) entitled Names Applied to
Animate Things" I find the following
which seems to explain the tabby cat
enigma: 1.-THE terme "TabbIe Cat" Ia
derived from Atab, famous streete in
Bagdad, cittie Of the Orient. This
streete is Inhabited by the manufactur-
ers Of silken stuff called 'atabi' the
waved marking Of the watered silke
resembling cats coat. From that we
call all cats so marked 'atab' 'atabbie, :
or simply 'tabbie' cats"

Baby's Weight.

Why 1t is that when parents an
nounce the birth of child they always
mention the weight? Is 1t considered
a credit to the father, the mother Of
the infant? This is particularly the
case with young married people. Par
ents of age and experience know that
the care and anxiety Of raising a baby
are not apportioned to the number Of
pounds 1t weighs. Six pounds of baby
represents just as many nights of floor
walking as ten pounds, and an eight
pound baby can hold as much collie as
a ten FOUNDER. In fact when you come
to weigh little incidentals like those
you will have to throw away the steel
yards and bring out the hay-stack.

Laugh and Grow Fat.

Learn to laugh. A good laugh is
better than medicine. Learn how to
tell story. A well told Rtory is as
welcome as sunbeam in sick room.
Learn to keep your own troubles to
yourself. The world is too busy to
care for your ills and sorrows. Learn
to stop croking. If you cannot see
any good In the world keep the bad to
yourself. Learn to hide your pains
and aches under pleasant smile. No
one cares to hear whether you have
the earache or rheumatism. Don't cry.
Tears do well enough in novels, but
they are out Of place in real life.
Learn to meet your friends with a
smile. The good humored man OF
woman is always welcome, but the
dyspeptic or hypochondirac Is not
wanted anywhere and is nuisance as

AN exchange says the largest cream
cry In United States is near st. Albans,
Vermont. Twelve thousand COWS
owned by 700 farmers supply 1t with
cream. and the average daily produce
is 10000 pounds, or five tons Of butter,
All cream received is tested In order to
obtain thorough knowledge of the
amount of butter fat in the average
farmers dairy, and he is paid daily fol
the butter value he brings in. There
are forty-four stations for receiving the
milk, and at these stations the cream
is sperated, and only the latter sent to
the factory. They run score Of
churns, each of which will turn off SOC
pounds of butter in one batch. The
butter-working machines are four In

eighty-four pounds can be properly

He dragged himself to the dusty grass

had tried him, and sat painting with his

box and began rolling infallible pills be-

composition was secret, but doubtless
they did some people lot of good.
