Of all the 10 appointments under the
sergeant-at-arms of the United States SEN
ate those of the pages only can be said to be
nonpolitical. No boy can be appointed a
page of the senate who is not IL years of
age, and no boy can continue as a page who
is 10 years of age at the beginning of a ses-
sion of congress. 1t is a lucrative position,
and few of the boys are not sorry when their
term has ended. Usually four of the boys
who are graduated from the pages position
at the beginning of II session are appointed
riding pages. Their selection depends on
their records for efficiency and faJhfulness.
The page on the floor of the senate draws
$50 a day during the session Of congress.

The notion is widely prevalent that APP
pendicitis is always caused by the lodg
ment Of an orange seed, a grape seed or
something Of that kind in this intestinal
appendage, producing Inflammation. This
IS not the fact Cases have been found in
which foreign substances were found in
the appendix; but according TO n surgeon
who has performed nearly 200 operations
for removal Of the appendix, such cases are
comparatively few. The prevailing opin-
ion among those who are wise on this
subject is that appendicitis Is caused by II
microbe but the Investigations have not
advanced far enough to enable this to be
determined with accuracy. 1t is believed
that many cases formerly supposed to be
acute collie were really cases Of appended

Ihe MINISTRIES OF ihe maIhhehs
They're serenading me tonight Their voices
clear and strong
Rise through the summer atmosphere in Joy
Gus bursts Of song.
The sun has set an hour or more, but bright
against the sky
Flash meteors Of yellow light as glowworras
wander by,
And through the reeds down by the marsh
they flicker to and fro
And light my merry minstrels with their magic
lamps aglow.
This evening when the sun went down saw a
meadow lark
Creep down into her grassy nest before the
coming dark.
The long, gaunt shadows Of the trees stretched
far beyond my sight
And found one last belated quail who whistled
for bobwhite.
The shadows grew and broadened and spread
out on every hand
Until all were united and the night had reach
ed the land.
And then they tuned their fiddles, and they
gathered their trombones
And took once more their comets, with their
sbrll and searching tones,
And hoarse and foggy basso, which first seem
ed TO start beyond
The deepest depths of deepness, shook the wa
teTs OF the pond,
And with joyous ecstasy that tided i'll for
sleep
The basso roared his bull from" and the tenor
piped knee deep"
The cricket on the doorpost fiddled, iddled for
his lie;
The chirping, shrieking tree toad played selec.
tons on his fife;
/ The countless vagrant insects madly Joined
them in the race
/ And buzzed n soothing second to the big frogs
sobbing bass,
And night bird, passing over cried a suddeI
interlude,
And the players played their maddest in 9
wondrous merry mood.
The cricket plays the same old tune as when
a boyish guest,
| listened to his playing when his touch was al
its best.
| The tree toad plays as years ago l used to heal
him play.
| The basso crooks his lower notes in just the
same old way.
| And that is why listen when the evening
! shadows creep
| Down there among The lilies where the tenol
pipes knee deep"

For MorHEE AND CHILD.


cry day a black taffeta or glace silk makes
IA useful and nice petticOat, and where one
has silk of some other quality It can be
made to ill all the requirements by setting
tafTeta frills and lace around the lower
edge.
The main advantage Of the silken under
wear is that it sheds dust so easily and
therefore keeps clean so much longer than
white skirts The very best dressers wear
the silk skirts on the street and white ones
in tho home, and the more these are deco
rated the prettier they are. Hamburg edg-
ing, now being done by machine, brings
embroidery down TO such low figure that
few women fail TO use 10 on their under
garments. The Russian embroidery Is
very much liked this year, and it looks al
most like lace, being Of a very rich open
pattern. Embroidered skirts with from
one to three Tutlcs and several tucks, all
neatly made and Of good quality, can be
purchased ready made from 81. so 10 IS
These are really very handsome skirts
There are others which have numbers Of
ruffles composed Of yalenciennes or point
de paris lace, and these naturally cost
more, but then again neat and prettily
trimmed skirt can be purchased for a dol
lar
Few ladies now make their own under
garments, as the ready made garments arc
really cheaper than the materials at retail,
and women are giving their time TO chari-
ties Of various kinds and TO higher Gull
ture" and lots Of other things, and they
feel that 1t is waste Of precious time to
sew them What the poor seamstresses get
for the neat and tasteful labor they put on
these undergarments do not like 10 think
OF. 1t might possibly be worse for them
II they didn't have any work at all, and
then again 1t might not, for they could die
altogether then and not live along half
starved, as they now do. We thought
when sewing machines We're invented that
they would so tighten the labor OF the
mothers that they would make pastime
OF their family sewing, but in some strange
