THE CUCKOO AGAIN.

New York Sun: The origin of the
word ''cOokOos" as applied to polite
ians without manliness or independ-
ence seems likely to be shrouded in as
much uncertainty as Homer's birth
place, the authorship of Beautiful
Snow, or the identity Of the assailant
of William Patterson. Senator Nor
gan, of Alabama, started the contro-
versy in the silver debate. John Ran
dolph had a century before been re-
peatedly interrupted in making a
speech by colleague who insisted on
saying, "Mr. Speaker, Mr.. Speaker"
Randolph's remark was that in Gen
eva they made clocks from which at
intervals little birds came out and
Whistlcd. The credit of originating
the present use of the word ''cuckoo"
rightly belongs to Captain Boutelle
for though he did not start the word
upon it's rounds, he first definitely ap-
piled it to a Cleveland "cuckoo,' Mr..
Tracey, and the latter resenting it,
the status of the expression was fixed,
which it was not when used by Sena-
tor Morgan or previously by old John
Randolph.

than this has been made on the sub
ject. In fact, the conditions are all
right for an active and prosperous
business if only the business world
could be assured of the permanency
Of the present tariff laws. The out
look is good in every direction. 1t is
doubtful if ever before as much idle
money was in sight as there is now
shown in the statements of the banks
OF the country, to say nothing OF the
unusual amount hidden away in our
safety deposit vaults. In every case
the owners of this money would ike
to see lit earning something. They
would like to see it actively employed,
if only they could be assured that
nothing was going to be done to up
set their business calculations. The
proposed changes in the laws affect
ing industrial interests and the prob
able results are the uncertain quaint
ties that deter conservative men from
taking the risks of business or en-
couraging others to do SO.
There would undoubtedly be a con-
siderable revival in business if the
present congress would adjourn with
out aking any definite action on the
Wilson bill: for the reason that before
it could meet again the people would
have had the opportunity of express
ing an opinion Of such legislation, and
almost every one believes that when
that opportunity comes they will eX-
press their views in such unmistak-
able terms and by such an overwhelm-
ing vote that even the present con-
gress will be compelled to take heed.
Some business men are becoming
anxious to have something settled,
and are growing weary of an agita-
ton that apparently does no good and
much evil, but in a matter of such
great Importance it well becomes
them to be patient and let it be rightly
settled or else not settled at all. If
such a tariff bill as the one under con-
sideration should become a law it
would probably be '97 or '9S before
any radical change in it could be
made, and we should have three or
four years Of depression not paralleled
since the war. Let us bear the present
uncertainty for a few months rather
than load ourselves with burdens
which, once assumed, will bear us
down for years.

TIGHT GOWNS AND THE HEART
What Doctor Has Discovered Regard
ing These Two Factors.

A doctor has made an experiment to
determine the influence on women of
tight clothing as regards the action of
the heart The test was the running
of 40 yards in loose gymnasium gar
ments and covering the same distance
with the cOrsets On. The running
time was two minutes and thirty sec
onds for each trial, and in order that
there should be no cardiac excitement
or depression following the test the
second trial was made the second day.
Before beginning the running the aver
age heart impulse was eighty-four
beats to the minute. After running
the above named distance the heart i'm
pulse was 152 beats to the minute,
the average natural waist gir-th being
twenty-five inches. The next day cor
sets were worn during the exercise
and the average girth of waist was re-
duced to twenty-fcur inches. The
same distance was run in the same
time by all, and Immediately after
ward the average heart impulse was
found to be 16S beats per minute.

abandoned and the ad yalorem syS-
tenn adopted there should be adequate
safeguards against undervalua ton.
The democrats of the committee have
resisted every attempt thus far to
provide these safeguards. The ad
valorem system Of assessing duties
makes differentiation a matter of
comparatively easy accomplishment
and the committee is anxious to- ap-
ply such checks as will lead to detec-
ton of fraudulent declarations on the
part of importers and customs officers
It was proposed that one set of in
voices should be sent to the treasury
department in addition to those now
required by the customs regulations.
The package clause of the present
law, was also given consideration. 1t
is proposed by the bill to discontinue
the present requirement that all i'm
ported merchandise shall be marked
with the name of the country from
which imported. The republicans OPP
posed elimination.
The pending bill also contains a
clause allowing appeals to the circuit
court from the decision of the board
of general appraisers touching the
valuation of imported merchandise.
The republicans oppose this on the
ground that litigation would be pro-
NOTED, liquidation of duties delayed,
and opportunities furnished for obtain
ing money from the treasury through
&c I,~r
as was done in the celebrated ribbons
case.
The managers of the tariff bill are
aprehensive that they may not be able
to control all the democratic votes.
This is said to be one of the reasons
The sugar men are the most trouble
some factors for the democratic man
ayers. The sugar senators are mex
orable. The proposition to impose q
sugar tax means to them the abrOga-
ton of every contention admitting
sugar free. Others say that the tax
would answer no purpose to them
whatever, and the industry of Louisi-
ana, they claim, would be ruined.
Their attitude touching the reciprocity
treaties, therefore, is identical with
that which they assumed in the caucus
touching the sugar tax. They said
then that unless the tax was levied
they would vote against the bill. They
assert now that unless the terms of
the bill make it absolutely certain
TINT all sugars admitted into the
country are to be taxed they will
vote against the bill.

The Wautoma Argus says there are
thousands Of acres of land that are
unimproved in central Waushara
which are peculiarly adapted to the
cultivation Of potatoes, but which will
remain unimproved for many years to
come unless a nearer market is opened
to them.
The farmers of the Belgian settle
ment in Door county still have large
quantities of wheat in their granaries.
Some of their grain has been there
since the harvest stock of 1898, but is
being used for feeding stock The only
market there for wheat is at Green
Bay and keWaunee, and these places
are overstocked.

NUTRITIOUS SOUP.

A delicate and nutritious soup is
made from white potatoes. Peel a
quart Of them and boil them in four
quarts Of water until tender Drain off

Cleveland Leader: In spite of the
fact that they are going into the fight
with a millionaire candidate, the demo-
Gratis of the third Ohio district are
badly frightened. First they wanted
Governor Mckinley to call the special
election for a successor to Hon. George
W. Houk on the day of the regular
spring election. They hoped thereby
to gain by the interest in local cleo
tons to be held in the district. The
governor found it impossible to ac-
comodate them, and he accordingly
called the election for May i. That
did not satisfy them. The fact of the
matter is that they are afraid to go
before the people on the record which
the democratic party has made in con-
gress. We do not blame them. With
the terrible verdict against the demo-
Gratis at the recent elections in New
York and Pennsylvania before them
they certainly have little reason to
hope for success even if their candi-
date has a barrel and 1000 democratic
majority to go upon.

THAT CHEAP STEAMER CHAIR.
1t is Comfortable and May be Made
a Thing of Beauty.

The deck or steamer chair, the very
cheapest form of lounging chair ever
known, should be more used as an oc-
OCCASIONAL sitting room and garden
chair. 1T is so ugly" hear you say.
But this need not be. Cover the can
vas with a piece of really good strong
serge or art linen and embroider it not
with the old fashioned crewel flowers,
but with a conventional pattern done
in that simplest Of stitches-the orient
or herringbone.
Your serge or linen should be exactly
the same length and breadth as the
canvas and carefully blanket stitched
serge, slung on the back Of the chair
with cords, is another boon. If you
prefer to enamel the woodwork, this
should of course, be done before add
ing the material.
For bed room chairs, chintZ, cretonne,
art linen or red turkey twill may be
substituted for the serge. Really these
deck chairs in nurseries and bed rooms
are an immense comfort to those with
Slender purses, anu 10 WHO'LL II Noulu
be a consideration to buy the ordinary
padded armchair
Many prefer the double or saddlebag
cushion to the simpler form known as
roll cushion. These may be made in
large pattern brocade or heavy printed
silk or embroidered The halves are
filled with carded wool and scented
powder thickly sprinkled between the
layers.

A CANADIAN TWILIGHT.

The white mists gather on marsh and fen,
And down by the rivers edge,
The tide is tapping the fibrous grass,
And the snarls of sea green sedge.
Away in the west the sunset glow
Fades out of the cold gray sky,
And up from the reeds that bend and
quake,
Comes the red necked looms weird cry.
."Oh-oo-whi-oo-wh whi-oo who-wi,
whi-oo-who-wil'
Tho fisher boats in the lonely bay
Lie anchored serene and still.
A red light CLEANS like far faint star
From tho dim crest of the hill.
The wind through the high limbed poplar
trees
Is sweet as some quaint old tune,
Yet sadder, sweeter than grooming wind,
Pipes the single red necked loon,
"Oh-oo-w hi-oo- who-wi, whi-oo = who-wi,
whi-oo-who-wi"
From shadowless heights the night creeps
down
And muffles the sounding shore,
The still white boats CLEAN spectral and
thin,
And the red light shows no more.
Yet ever across the darkening world
Creeps the rivers monotone,
And the pensive, plaintive murmuring
OF the red necked loon alone,
"Oh-oo- whi-oo-who-wi whi-oo - who-wi,
whi-oo-who-wil'
