The stubborn Newspaper Men.

The committee took mp the question pre-
sentod by the refusal Of the newspaper
men 10 respond 20 the questions and has
not vet decided upon course Of action.
There would seem 70 he but two courses,
either Of which the committee can pursue
in view of the absolute refusal Of the wit
ncsses to testify in response TO the oues
tions put They either can pass the point
over and drop the proceeding in that di-
roction OF report the situation to the sen
ate where the duty Of determining wheth
er the witnesses can be compelled to testi
fy win devolve upon the senate itself.
If the senate should decide TO make an
effort 20 compel an answer, the witnesses
would be brought before the bar of the
senate and the committees questions 10
them repeated by the vice president. ii
in that case the witnesses should adhere
10 their determination not 20 answer, the
senate would decide whether they should
be punished, and In case of a decision "a
imprison the witnesses they could appeal
to the courts of the District through ha
beas corpus proceedings on the question
of jurisdiction, and i'm case the decision in
the lower court should sustain the senate
decision there would still remain an ap
peal 10 the supreme court Of the UniteC
States.

A top, while spinning, keeps erect

"A top, while spinning, keeps erect
because it is under the influence of and
is balanced between opposing forces.
Its rapid rotation gives to all its parti-
Giles Il tendency to fly from the center.
If the atoms of wood were not held to-
gcther by the attraction of cohesion
they would fly away in a circle ont
ward from it. just rs the drops of water
fly off from n mop while It is being
twirled. A little sand, salt or dust
thrown on a top while in motion would
I've scattered in a circle. just as its own
atoms would be if they were free to
separate. but not with the same force,
because the atoms of salt, etc., are not
in an active state of rotation, and so
would only be influenced by
tary contact with the rotating body.
This tendency of the particles of a ro-
tating body to fly outward from the
center is called the centrifugal force.
The other force influencing a top is
the attraction of gravitation, which.
were the top not spinning would draw
it toward the earth. The motions of
the earth and all the heavenly bodies
are controlled by precisely the same
guidance as that which keeps a spin
ming top upright.

HINTS FOR HORSEMEN.

HORSES are made gentle by kindness.
They are anxious to obey, and it is bet

words or gestures than by blows.
LEAVING shoes on over twenty-five OF

tions which are serious and difficult to
cure. 1t is well to omit the back nail
on the inside of fore feet
Few colts bred have the blood, speed
and individuality to entitle them to be
kept in the stud And yet t%wo-thirds
of the men in the horse business lose
money in consequence of 10 doing.
To THE practice of promiscuously
breeding to inferior animals in order to
produce plumbers instead of quality,
more than to any other feature of the
business, may be charged the present

CONDITION in a horse does not simply
mean the presentation of a good ap-
pearance, but signifies the ability to

The latter qualities cannot be possessed
without liberal feeding and plenty Of
exercise. Good condition requires time

The bodice with the adjustable vel.
vet yoke will be smiled upon by fair
maidens. 1t is so made that when the
yoke is removed a decoilete evening
gown is the result. Bright scarlet
dotted swiss is selling well, but the
other plain colors have stepped back to
make room for the more elaborate pat
terms. The shaded crepons are simply
exquisite in their display of bewilder-
ing colors. Pale blue and salmon is a
new combination. Green and lavender
is also effective. The shade crepons
are trimmed with MORE ribbons and
laces. 1t is rumored that two-toned
alpaca; with n gloss of great %brilliancy,
is soon to be counted among the sum
mer novelties. Pique will be worn a
great deal this summer, but not the
pique of the past. The new edition
varies in price from twcnty-eight cents
a yard to one dollar. One design has
invisible stripes in blue, pink or black.
This comes at forty cents. and makes a
decidedly neat gown. The o%ne-dollar
quality has the effect of .satin-striped

Cigars are divided by the trade int
certain kinds of classes, such as Solo

etc.
Consumers divide them into certain
other kinds or classes which the trade
does not recognize. They are:
The stovcpipe~ cigar-This has 4 fill.
ing that is proof against analysis and
a fire-proof wrapper. Its personal ap.
pearance is pleasing, but it is Il base
deceivcr. The filling slowly shoulders
away, leaving the wrapper intact, and
while the smoker is wondering why
his cigar is becoming no shorter. the
internal conflagration suddenly bursts
through a weak spot in the wrapper,
about an inch from the tip, and burns
his fingers.
The half-and-half cigar. This is half
bad and half not half bad. The not
half bad half is at the forward end,
and when it is lighted the smoker flat
tiers himself that he has a good smoke.
If he continues to smoke after the egua-
tor is passed he discovers that all is not
tobacco that burns.
The air-tight cigar. This is a lastcr,
for it is not provided with a draft, and
is not sufficiently inflammable to burn
without one. If you really have to
smoke a cigar OF this kind, have n hole
drilled through it from end to ead.
But better. give it away and borrow a

The rapid-ire cigar. This is loosely

A WONDERFUL SERmGN.
How an Cnrettered Negro Preacher lie

The most wonderful sermon | ever
heard" said a hr.iaess man to the
writer, was delivered by a colored
preacher in South Carolina in a slave
pen which was being utilized as a
church shortly after the war. I hap
pened to drop into the large gathering
of colored people n night. and was
informed that a new preacher was
about to be tried. The minister arose
back OF 4 pulpit that had been impro-
vised from a barrel turned bottom up
ward, on which was a lighted candle
stuck in a bottle. He began to read
the Bible, but stumbled at every word,
spelling some throughout before pro-
n~ouncing them. -.

pictured the Heavenly hosts hurriedly
running ont of their tents to form in

the stiffness that reigned when all was
ready, awaiting the command to adj
vance. BY this time the whole con-
g%regation, including myself, were sit

the extreme, and, as the preacher de-

Finally he brought the army of
Heaven down to earth just before

FOR HAULING HAY.
a Cheap and simple Rack and Some OF
Its Advantages

A Cheap and Simple Rack and Some OF
Its Advantages
The hayrack shown in the illustra-
ton is one which | used last summer.
1t is 10 feet long and S feet wide. Two
inch lumber is used for the stills and
cross pieces, the former being s inches
and the latter 9 inches in width. Three
boards are nailed or bolted on top Of
the cross pieces on each side of the
rack. A 2x4 scantling long enough to
reach from the outer edge of the rack
to the inside of the boards is bolted
edgewise on top of the two hind cross
pieces. An inch strip must be placed
upon the hind cross piece to bring it up
to 4 level with the one in front of the
hind wheel. The cross pieces are now
high enough so hat when the boards
are placed upon them they will be put
of the way of the wheel. This makes
n rack which is nearly level, being only
4 inches higher behind han in front.
This rack is advantageous in hat the
distance between the sills is smaller at
the front end than at the real end of
the rack, thus allowing shorter turns
than when they are made parallel. In
