president could not restrain his laugh
ter. Prof Henry, who was somewhat
disturbed by this expression OF susPl-
cion on the part of the well-meanlng
but mistaken Unionist, very briefly
disposed of his tale. He explained
that the scientific instruments used to
ascertain the direction and force of the
wind, temperature, etc, were exam
med at certain hours of the day and
night for the purpose of taking their
record, and that the supposed signal
light in the Smithsonian tower was the
lantern carried to the observatory at
midnight by the attendant who made
those observations. Somewhat crest
Iallen the visitor withdrew, the presi-
dent thanking him for his vigilance
and weIl-meant promptness in report
ing this incident, and adding, as the
man departed: III you should see any
indication of rebel conspiracy in Wash
ington, you will do the country real
service by reporting at once to head
quarters"
The frequent appearance in Washing
ton of paroled rebel officers, who usu-
oily wore their own uniform with evil
dent pride and pleasure, and sometimes
with swagger, generally threw loyal
lists into fever of excitement. More
than once 1 saw ultra-loyal newsboys

One of these officers, a Lieut.. Garnett,
being on parole, sent in his card to
Representative Wickliffe, of Kentucky,
and was by him introduced upon the
floor of the house, where he attracted
attention. as well as Indignation, from
the members present. Presently wave
of excitement seemed tc sweep over the
galleries, the spectators being visibly
affected by the appearance of an officer
in full Confederate uniform sitting on
one of the sofas of the house of repre-
sentatives. This was intensified when
a doorkeeper spoke to the visitor, who
rose from his seat, gave profound and
sweeping bow, and withdrew to the
outer corridor. 1t appears that the
doorkeeper had told the Confederate
that it was contrary to the rules of the
house for him to be present

FRANK. OPEN ACTION.

One of the worst things about politics
is the prevailing opinion that every
thing in politics is barter aud a trade.
There is much higgling in politics no
doubt, but 1t Is net 50 great as is imag-
ined, particularly w hen conscientious
men are at the head OF affairs.
There is prevailing opinion among
many men that nothing is accomplished

As an instance of this Il Is well enoue h

the potion OF private secretary. The
letter read:

DAY To STUEE.

This is Thanksgiving. The original
idea of Thanksgiving was to give thanks.
incidentally it was the custom TO stuff
stuck out like bolt heads on boiler. As
time rolled on the idea of giving thanks
was dropped by tie wayside and the
people held fast TO the Formally of
jamming turkey into their anatomy
alone. For that reason there Is only
yourself"
Sail into the soup and scoop ii into
yourself with the ardor and haStv grace
of a man accepting a thousand dollar
bill. Spear the gentle Spaghetti au
Italien in the neck and chase the slippery
but dead artificial reptile about your
plate until you have it scotched firm.
Then with a quick Contortion Of the
head and a def movement Of the eye
brows, throw the squirting spaghetti
into vour mouth and swallow it with
agility.
Pull out the carving knife and jump
into the turkey, bursting with juice and
heat. The turkey will be dead, but you
will discover that a tough turkey Is
never so lively as when it is dead and
meets dull carving knife.
With look Of supreme superiority
arouad the table, seek the fork astraddle
the Roman nose portion of The turkeys
physiology and whack of a slice of
breast In the whacking process you
will notice that the slice that Was
whacked off will sp!utter for moment
and then viii quickly toboggan down
the side of the turkey and flop out on the
nice, immaculate table-cioth. At this
point you should look at your wife. She
is looking az you and would like to
wither you with a look. After remov-
ing the slice from the table cloth, it will
be best to take dish and surreptitiously
pull il over the grease spot. This will
show the visitors that you are not afraid
of you wife.
After slicing few slices to the right
and left, pause. Be sure and pause.
The man who cannot pause and heave
sigh that will shake the SCOT down the
chimney will never become a successful
carver, or carvist. The main reason for
pausing is that it gives you rest. It
also gives you an opportunity to observe
how the guests are lodging the bits OF
juice and turkey that are flying through
the air.
At this point nothing comes in so fiji
tingiy as pause. 1t is also time to cuss
the carving knife. Do it gently. but
cuss 1t without fail Cussing the carving
knife never convinces the gue,ts THAI
you are a good carver. but it eases your
own mind and it may make your wife
feel better.
After the turkey is butchered, sail in.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY,

1T is well, perhaps, for the sake OF
possible emergency, to bear IN mind
that on the authority of DIR. Taylor,
chief of the division of microscopy Of
the department of agriculture, there Is
but one known antidote to mushroom
poisoning, sulphate of atropin. a dose

mouth or by hypodermic injections.
Nocturnal creatures assume night
activity for some other reason than
they cannot see by day, or that they
see better by night. The bat sees adj
mirably in the brightest sunlight, as
anyone knows who has ever teased one
by poking a stick at it. 1t will open
its mouth and make an angry grab at
the stick, when it is not near 1t by sew
eral inches. Prof. Bolles says 1t is the
same with the owl. They see perfectly
in bright sunlight, and better at night
than most creatures.

geological interest that the very deep
est parts of the ocean are not IN or near
the center. The deepest sounding vet
