House of Representatives. has fled an answer
to the suit brought against him By Henry FL.
Smith, formerly Journal Clerk of the House,
but at present Deputy Register of the Treasury,
account of the publication of the digest of the
House rules. on which Mr.. Smith claims TO

Mr.. Crutchfeld in his answer asserts that tina
book is public document and cannot be COPY
righted. 1t was first compiled, he AYERS, by
John NJ. Barclay, who was Journal Clerk for
many years until the 44th Congress, under the
title of Barclays Digest" and when Mr..
Smith succeeded Barclay he continued tho
publication for IL years under the direction OF
Congress without attempting to assert any
personal rights to the book. The original work
of the latter editions is said TO have been DONE
not by Mr.. Smith, but by George s. Boutwell,,
Charles B. Reade. and other Government em-
ployes. Mr. Smiths work is said to have con-
tanned many errors which the present clerk
was obliged to correct.

TO INVESTIGATE FRAUDS.

Secretary of the Interior Noble some time
ago called the attention of the House Com
mittee on Invalid Pensions to the necessity for
some law to authorize the repeal of private
pension bills obtained by fraudulent means,
and called attention to several cases of this
kind. The Pension Committee has therefore
reported two bills for the repeal of cases
brought to their attention, and have discussed
the advisablity of passing general bill to
meet all such cases. This discussion developed
the fact that some such law was necessary,
and it was agreed that measure should be
reported to cover all such cases. 1t was under
stood that the bill introduced by Mr.. Martin,
of Indiana, covers the subject, and it will be
reported at an early day. The committee want
to see Justice done to the meritOrious cases.
but are determined if it is possible, to cut off
fraudulent claimants,

ANOTHER BIG LOBBY HERE.

The resolution recently introduced by Rep
resentative Burrows. of Michigan, providing
for an investigation of the alleged whisky ring,
has caused the biggest lobby Of the present
Congress to assemble in Washington and swoop
down upon the House. They have come from
every section of the country, and are apparent
ly about equally divided between the whisky
manufacturers and their opponents. For some
reason Mr.. Burrows did not call his resolution
up for action when the Committee on Rules
met on Wednesday morning Jan. Is, Of which
committee he is member. When he intro
duced tho resolution, Jan. IL, he seemed deter
mined to press it to vote and have the inves-
tigation begin right away. 1t was thought
that by this time the mon behind him would
come forward and make themselves known,
but up to this time nothing of interest has
developed. Mr.. Burrows has no intention of
allowing his resolution to be ignored and for
gotten, but will bring it up at the next meet
ing of the Committee on Rules. 1t is also said
that the resolution has attracted considerable
notice in the Senate, and that Senator Stewart,
of Nevada, will ask for q supplemental Senate
investigation.

Representative Kilgore. of Texas, had an in.
teresting relic in the House on Wednesday,
Jan. Is, in the shape of the sword worn by Gen.
Santa Ans, the celebrated Mexican General,
which was captured by Gen. Sam Houston in
the battle of San Jacinto. in 1885, The sword

Mrs. Potter Palmer, one of the handsomest
women Of Chicago, as well as one of the most
prominent, appeared before the Senate sub.
committee of the Committee on Appropria.
tions, consisting of Senators Allison, Hale. and
German. on Friday, JAM 20, in behalf of the
Board Of Lady Managers of the Worlds Co.
lumbar Exposition, of which she is President.
urging an appropriation for that Board. In
the course of her argument Mrs Palmer said
that while it is true that the Board of Lady
Managers still has a balance to its credit. IL is
very small, and with the most rigid economy
cannot be made to last later than July. We
will then be without funds I think the value
Of the work already performed is q sufficient
guarantee that we should receive further a..
sistance. The 500, 500 we ask is absolutely
necessary to the successful completion of tho

Growing Cotton an Level Land.

When one has level land there is. con.

When SO planted there will be no ne.
cessity for more than one hoeing, if it ID
done properly and at the proper time.
The seeding Of the crop may be con.
sidered as somewhat more tedious, but
this should not be regarded. as there is
such saving of labor afterward. The
land should he bedded up one way and
at planting time it should he checked

intersects with the center of the bed
six to eight seed should be drop.

American Girls and House work.

The great reason why housework is
repugnant TO self-respecting Americans
is not SO much on account of the work
itself, for other kinds OF labor are hard
and monotonous, but on account OF the
conditions under which it is performed.
The single domestic lacks society; she
is isolated from the family life. and she
can never call any time her own. Girls
will work all day amid the steam of a
laundry, the fumes of factory, the
bad air of sewing room because there
they have companionship, their hours
are defined and they are their own mis-
tresses when the days work is done. 1t
is impossible to have these conditions
in domestic service except in very
wealthy families, and there the workers
must be branded as servants. As there
is every probability that house wages
will go higher rather than lower, and
as the girls will not come to the houses,
the houses must go the girls. Frances
NJ. Abbott, in the Forum.

Girls Hats.

Spring hats are smaller than those OF
last year, and have undulating or elsc
pointed brim with low crown, the
crown often of color and braid entire
ly different from that of the brim
Plain and fancy chips in ecru colors
and black, rice straw or armour braid,
Milan and Leghorn are the choice OF
this season. Fancy plated braids re-
peat every color in the cheviot gown,
and shot braids are among the novel;
ties The popular trimming is large
bow of four-inch ribbon with three up
right loops and three pointed ends set
in front of the crown. Sometimes this
great bow is in the midst of bunch of
flowers, with few long-stemmed bios
SONS high among the loops. while other
bows hold stiff quilts pointed at right
angles or toward the back. Wide loops
of chip or fancy braid also form part OF
the trimming. Two fold or single
band Of velvet or of ribbon surround
the crown. Rosettes of ribbon or OF silk
muslin are set around crowns Alsa-
clan bows Of ribbon or Of knife-plaited
velvet or satin trim many girlish hats

strange slls Trees OF Panama.

One of the greatest curiosit;es of the
Panama isthmus is the vegetable silk
tree. 1t is plant that grows from fiji.
teen to twenty feet high and in appear
ance does not differ greatly from other
trees, but the inner bark is perfectly
silky fiber, long. smooth and strong.
The natives separate it by some method
best known to themselves, the process
somewhat resembling that of beating
flax. When once it is separated and
spun into threads it can be woven ine
fabric so closely resembling silk that
it is difficult for anyone not familiar
with it to distinguish between the two.
This species of silk goods is in high
favor on the isthmus, and Colombian
belle is never happier than when she is
arrayed in a gayly colored dress made
from the trees in her fathers yard st

why Americans Have No Right to Criti-
cixe English Pronunciation.
''You PEOPLE over here" said an En-.
glishman at one OF the downtown ho-
tells, ''are always talking about the alb
surdity of our method of pronouncing
proper names You want all names OF
places and men pronounced phonetic
ally, and at the same time you depart
further from the actual spelling in the
pronunciation of proper names than
any people in the world. You are too
fond of throwing stones and forgetting
you live in glass houses
"Who under heaven-to take one in
stance out of scores that know Of
would think of saying 'Connettic't for
Connecticut? Your papers are full of
paragraphs about the ridiculous En-
glishmen who don't know anything
about orthography or orthepy, and con-
sequently call Norwich 'Norrich,' or
Cholmondeley 'Chumley.' That is all
right and quite true. We have been
told q hundred times that Beauchamp
ought not to be pronounced 'Beechnm,'
or Belooir Beaver But how do you
account for such a mispronunciation as
'Loozyanna' for Louisiana? Who on
earth would suspect that Utah is to be
termed 'Utaw.' or Omaha Omahaw?
You people have been accustomed
to talking that way all your lives and
it comes natural to you, but you forget
that we similarly heard of 'Norrich'
and 'Grinnich' before we learned to
talk.
I'm England you will find as rule
that people pronounce Massachusetts,
MA -satchazettes' Absurd? OF course
it is, but how are you going to tell?
The rule by which it is pronounced
Massachusetts is purely arbitrary.
Similarly we generally call Allegheny
A-leg-any,' with the accent on the
leg To anyone who has never heard
the word pronounced it comes as natural
to say one as the other.
'srhe most curious Of all your mis-
pronunciations are perhaps the adapted
French names How in the name of
the eternal fitness of things do you get
500 Saint Mary out of Sault Ste. Marie?
How do you get De Moynes' out Of Des
Moines, especially when you pronounce
Des PLANES as you do? 1t sets ones
teeth on edge to hear an American pro-
nounce either of the names anyway,
and Terry Hut for Terre Haute is lust
little worse. 1t is unaccountable, too,
how you came to call Prairie du Chen,
Prairie doc Sheen
1T is easy to multiply instances
'Arkansaw, 'Wawbash, 'Tollifer' for
Tallisferro. Butte, Montana for Butte,
Montana-there are any quantity. OF
course you have a right to ARA nge your
own pronunciation. but give us the
same liberty. We at least have the ex-
cuse that our names are ten or fifteen
centuries old and have had opportunity
TO grow naturally corrupted in the
lapse of time. Chicago Timea.

TIA a Fact.

As is well-known, farmers as rule,
have not educated themselves for the
farm. have not studied the books and
agricultural and stock journals, and
hence have not adopted the new and
improved farm methods by which their
profits might be doubled, nor have
they been enterpl.ising in seeking the
best methods of marketing their crops.
In other words, they have not kept

Blowing the Feather.

A new game for children is played
with feather. The party is arranged
in several groups of seven or eight
each, seated in ring and as close to.
gether as possible. For each group is
feather. This is tossed in the air in
the center of the ring. 1t is the busi-
ness of the players to keep the feather
in the air by blowing every time it
comes near. The effort is SO ridiculous
that the children laugh. When they
laugh they cannot blow and the feather
is apt to settle in the lap of the merriest
child. In this case she has to retire
from the ring 1t is, of course, her
interest to make the other children
laugh. As the rings decrease they are
consolidated, and SO the game continues
until only one person is left, who, OF
course, is the winner. r.-Philadelphia
