A NEW RULE.
To Fine Members for Failing to Vote
Roll Calls.

The House was still without quorum
this morning, the republicans refusing to
vote, and the prospects of securing a quo
rum any time within several days is very
remote. The committee on rules brought in
a new rule providing for a fine of ten dol
lars to be imposed upon members falling to
We te on roll calls the sum of the fines to be
deducted from the salaries of the offending
E.embers. The fine of ten dollars is to be
imposed for each failure to respond, and
may accumulate to a considerable sum in
day.
Messrs. Reed and Burrows endeavorei to
pl event the report from being made to the
House by raising the point of no quorum
ard by other points of order, but the Speak
er overruled them and had the report read
and then put the question while the two re-
publican leaders were demanding to be
heard. No quorum was present, and the
filibuSt@r began on the adoption of the rule.
Until quorum of democrats is secured the
rule cannot be adopted, and it is understood
that some democrats will resist the rule

TOOK II SAMPLE,
Didn't Fit Him Qlite, But h Wanted 1t


"Thirty dollar o%vercoats for SlO,"
was the way the advertisement an.
In the windows hung some really
handsome articles of clothing, which
were calculated to make the passer-
by begrudge the $50 spent for an
'Order-cOat" before the blessing OF a
closing-out sale came in view. On
the tables within the shop were
piled coats almost innumerable.
On the front table and on the top
OF the pile was a coat which the
prospective customer regarded with
great favor. 1t seemed to be a 1880
coat for $40" in truth. 1t was the first
one he picked up on entering the
store. He put it un. but before he
a had time to see himself in it the
salesman had dragged it off with the
remark, THAT won't do at ALL" and
offered him a garment OF faded blue,
which looked like a SIS coal for $40.
The visitor asked for a coat similar
to the one first noticed.
'Sorry, but these are broken lots,
and we can't Just fit you in that"
was the reply. Now what do you
want in this line?" and another cheap
coat was brought on.
The customer tried on several and
then came back to his first love. II
want to try that on again." he said.
sob, that won't fit you at all"
said the clerk, but he helped the
visitor to don the coat and the latter
thought it fitted very we'll. Then
the discovery was made that it was
already sold. The customer didn't
see it in that light, and in conse-
Quence a conference OF clothiers was
held in the back part of the store. A
man came forward and said:
"There's a man in the Darkroom
that wants that coat"
IL want it, too" said the customer.
"But it doesn't fit you"
"All it needs is to shorten the
sleeves. and you say you do that for
people"
well. we can't do it on that coat.
We don't want you to take it. We
don't want such a looking thing to
go out Of our store" said the pro-
prictOr.
The customer persisted, however,
and amid scowls and protests bore
off his coat in triumph. He says he
is used to dccoys, and that it is dam
gerous for the dealer to throw in his
way expensive samples not made to
sell. New York Tribune.

A WOman's Name.

1t is said that the practice Of the
wife's assuming the husbands name
at marriage originated from a Roman
custom. and became common after
the Roman occupation. Thus ,Julia
and Octavia, married to Pompey and
Cicero, were called by the Romans
Julia of Pompey and Octavia of Cic-
ero, and in later times married wo-
men in most European countries
signed their names in the same man
ner but omitted the sbf."
Again this view may be mentioned
that during the sixteenth, and even
the beginning of the seventeenth CEN
tury, the usage seems doubtful, since
we see Catherine Parr so signing her
self after she had been twice married,
ana w always hear of Lady Jane
Grey k(not Dudley and Arabella
Stewart mot SeymOur). Some per-
sons think that the custom originated
from the scriptural teaching thai
husband and wife are one. 1t was
decided in the case of Bon VS.. Smith,
in the reign Of Elizabeth, that a wo-
mar by marriage loses her former
name and legally receives that Of her
husband. Dublin Times.

Electricity in the Laundry.

Electric irons for laundries, shirt
factories, and other manufactures
where a considerable amount Of iron
ing is done, are gradually being ap-
preciated by those who have such
departments in charge, says the Flee
urical Review. In the present syS.
tenn, gas is employed for heating, and
two irons are used; no time being
lost in work, other than pressing. In
summer. especially, the atmosphere
of a pressing room is almost insuf-
ferable. The girls value the electric
iron, and anyone who has ever used
one is Immediately propossesscd in
favor of it. In apartment houses or
hotels where great quantities Of
ironing are done they will be found
especially advantageous. UnfOrtun-
ately, however. their expensiveness
prevents their immediate general
adoption, but as soon as some
cheaper device is obtained, whereby
the same work can be done for less
money, they will be found in every
household or mandatory requiring
them.

Pretty American Femininity.

The type Of beauty of American
women is confessdly high. The num-
Der of pretty girls n sees on Fifth
avenue in an afternoon is actually
greater than seen in Europe IN three
months: and. leaving out a certain
class Of Parisians. the New York
girls are better dressed than the
women OF any other worlds capital.
But here is the peculiar thing:
Abroad the women of the poorer
classes rank low in beauty on an
average; in this country, as compared
with the ~sO-c;lled fortune favor
ties the poore girls more than hold
their W in point of good looks ard
dressing. Good food, education, gen.
eral easy circumstances, and the in
culcation Of self-rcspect have given
the nited States a wonderfully large
percentage of charming girls and
women. A trip abroad will Prove the
correctness OF these assertion. Phil

In the time OF Louis Nv, there
was an actress engaged at the Thea
ter Francais-Mlle. Gauthier-who
could break a coin between the fin
gers of n hand, and roll a silver
plate into the form of a cup OF conf
cal shape. No one could bear the
pressure of her hand, and only Maui
rice dc Sake. one Of the strongest
menof his Zine, vas able to open her
closed hand. Miss Kerra, a young
mulatto woman, who appeared in
most Of the capitals OF Europe, was,
we believe, the first to perform the
feat, while hanging with the bend of
her knees in a trapeze, of holding a
man at his belt with her teeth and
turning him rapidly round with her
hands. The same trick was per-
formed more recently, among others,
by Miss LeOna Dare and Miss Carrie

About Onions,

Onions are a kind of all-round good
medicine, and every housewife knows
this without knowing why. She
knows that a solid red onion eaten at
bedtime will by the next morning
break the severest cold. She also
knows that onions make a good
plaster to remove Inflammation and
hOarseness. But she does not know
why. If anyone would take an onion
and mash 1T so as to secure all the
juice in it, he would have a most re-
marNable smelling substance that
would quiet the most nervous Lerson.
The strength of it inhaled for a few
moments will dull the sense of smell
and weaken the nerves until sleep is
produced from sheer exhaustion. 1t

by the onion, and that is a form OF

Is no exception to the rule. Are you
a loved and loving wife, with the
strong right arm Of the best of men to

the removal of that arm means your

the world to a person answering to
an entirely different description.
The world steps up higher in order
to obtain a better point Of view, and
it ferrets out motive for action where
no motive exists. and it regards you
with suspicion where there is no
cause. The world has al evil eye,
and the lens through which it OBJ

that the world keeps an eye on

vironment of widowhood woman
must needs pay the price.

by putting in his mouth the words
''Samivel, beware of the vidderS.'

boiled egg, doughnut, and"

thinking about, Mrs. Greene? Do

"What harm can it do?" she re-
joined. "You have already told
me there is no hope"
The doctor held up his hands in
Mortified protest; but Mr.. Greene
said nothing, and the repast was
brought and received ample justice.
The next morning Mrs. Greene
was up at an early hour, superin-
