''The other day." said a congress
man, my wife was passing one of the
legations of the Orient. 1t was bright,
warm, balmy day, almost like sum-
mer, in truth. Out in the front yard
was one of the ladies of the house, re-
splendent in complicated silks, and
with her blue black hair full of gold
pins and ornaments in the guise of
miniature fans. But what caught the
feminine eye of my wife was baby
this daughter of the sun bore in her
arms. 1t had black eyes and black
hair, and looked like little splinter
of Asia. Of course my wife paused.
no woman on earth could have done
less. A new baby is always a subject
of breathless interest to all wo-
men. But add to it the fact
that it is of another and far-otf
race and the natural feminine trans
ports rise almost to frenzy. So, of
course, my wife came to a dead halt.
She smiled at the lady of the tea fields,
and was smiled at softly in return.
Then she looked at the infant. The
gratified guardian, possibly its mother,
approached so as to treat my wife to
fuller opportunity.
'''How old is it,? interrogated my
wife who has ever had a consuming
thirst for data of that sort
" Eight mont, replied the tea lady
with an accent.
sis it boy or grip continued my
wife, pursuing her regular system.
"'Allee samee likee pa replied the
other in a pleased, bashful way. The
census being now complete, my wife
rendered her congratulations and left
the princess of fans and the little
prince to continue their afternoon"

Temperature of Forests.

For twenty years the Swiss gov.
ernment has been making observa-
tions through its forestry stations on
the temperature of the air, of the
trees and the soil in the forests
These observations show that the
temperature in the forests is always
below the temperature outside. The
temperature also varies according to
the trees composing the forests A
beech forest Is always cooler than q
forest of larch. As to the trunks of
the trees. they are always colder than
the surrounding air. Regarding the
temperature of the soil, it is found
shat in the forest the temperature is
invariably below that of the air.
Outside the forest the soil is always
warmer than the air in summer and
colder in winter.

MakInu Flint Arrow Hea.ls.

Archeologists and antiquarians in
their writings frequently refer to
the manufacture of flint arrow heads.
etc, as a ''lost art'; that is a great
mistake Tho art is probably lost to
the Indians bcca ase they have no use
for it. The stone implements have
given place to those of iron and
steel, and the rifle and revolver have
supplantel the filnt ak and arrow
head. The art Of making them is
not lost, however. There are many
collectors of relics of the aborigines
who have studied the art of working
in flint and have become adopts. In
Chattanooga gentleman has become
SO proficient in the art that he has
not only manufactured magnificent
specimens of arrow heads from flint.
but also from the far more brittle
obsidian, and even from ordinary
glass.

When Speaker Crisp occupies the
chair in the house OF Representatives
his son Charles stands always at his
right hand. The young mans official
title is speakers clerx," and the du-
ties of his position are of a peculiar
nature. Anyone who has occasion to
deal with the father soon finds out
how much dependence he places ON
the son. It is also easy to see that the
speaker is devoted to the slim, boyish
clerk who is his memory, his prompter,
his congressional directory and his
daily program rolled into oz.. There
is no young man in this country to-
day who holds more important and
arduous position than young Charles
Crisp. He looks like a school-boy, so
young and fresh is his face.
When the house is called to order he
appears at his fathers right hand
The speaker doesn't need a lot Oh
memoranda; his son takes their place.
The business for the day has been laid
out by the committee on rules and the
speaker: Charlie Crisp has seen the
chairman of the committee or his clerk
and has the program in his memory.
He knows just what business has been
arranged for the daily session and in
just what order all bills are to be
taken up. He also knows which mem
bers are to be recognized to introduce
bills, and every man who is to speak
on every measure to be discussed. He
knows in what order it has been ar
ranged to recognize them and he
keeps his father apprised of the order.
Young Mr.. Crisp is the one person in
the house who knows the name of
every member. When the new ones
come in he studies them up till he has
them all in his head. He knows what
committees they are assigned to and
frequently the subcommittees as we'll,
1t is one of his duties to be ready to
prompt the speaker with names of
mem bers, for in the rush of business,
confusion reigas around the speakers
chair very frequently, but the speak
er's clerk always preserves his seren-
ity.

E'One of the best tricks in horse

Wisner, a horse dealer, happened in
indianapolis. There was broken

room. He was stone blind, his tongue
hung from his mouth about ten
inches, the end of it had been frozen
and turned black, and altogether he
was the most woe-begone, detected
looking specimen OF equine anatomy
ever saw. He was sold for 81 to q
seedy-look;ng fellow, who we supposed
wanted to kill him for his hide.
In about two hours a man came up
riding horse with head thrown back,
prancing as though full of life, and
altogether good-looking animal. He
said he had just bought him for $50
and wanted him sold. I congratu-
lated him upon his bargain and told
him we could double his money for
him. The next morning before the
daily sale l went to look at the horse,
and to my at pnishment he was the
same we had sold the day before. His
eyes had lost the brightness caused by
belladonna; he had forgotten the
energy put in him by the ginger, and
the red pepper pod which had been
placed under his tongue to make him
keep it in his mouth had lost its
strength and that organ again hung
low. With an investment of $2.1 the
fellow had sold him for $50, and if he
had not been in hurry could have

A correspondent, referring to the
curious fact that neither flies nor
waSps will venture 20 pass through a
window across which piece of fish
net is stretched. asserts that the phe-
nopenon is due to the confused vision
possessed by insects. The threads of
the nets give them the impression of a
continuous surface, just as with us do
the hatchings of an engraving that we
look at from a distance. The animal
believes itself to be in front of a more
