THEY WERE PROJECTING EACH cTHER
WELFARE.

The public would not find so much fault
with the United States Senate if it was gener-
ally known how careful Senator'S are to look
after each others interests. No measure
comes before that body that IS not deliberately
considered. and if it conflicts in the least with
the interests of Senator, his immediate
friends, or the friends of his immediate
friends, the measure is consistently amended
go that it will do no harm.
Take the Wilson bill as an illustration.
When that measure was reported TO the Sen
ate it was referred to the Finance Committee
to be amended in acoordan &c with the regular
senatorial programme. Each item of every
schedule was consi dered with a view to its
effect on the interests of a Senator, his i'm
mediate friends. or the friends of their i'm
mediate friends. If the tariff had been re-
duced in the Wilson bill so as to Interfere
with Senator's political prospects or the
financial welfare of his immediate friends or
their immediate friends, it was increased so
as to be consistent with Sc material precedent.
But even the rigid scrutiny of the Finance
Committee was not satisfactory to the Senate.
Some items must have been overlooked, for
the report of the committee was rejected and
the work of preparing another and more
accommodating bill began.
The new bill, like its predecessor, took
months of senatorial deliberation. Each
item of consequence was amended, protecting
the welfare of each Senator. his immediate
friends and the friends Of their immediate
friends. Sugar interests were made to Offset
the welfare of coal and iron ore products;
lumber and glass products, whisky and
chemicals each played its part in creating de-
lay. No, not delay. but deliberation, and
each was the cause of renewed obligation to
the custom of providing for the welfare of
Senators. their immediate friends and the
friends of IL cir immediate friends.
And then came thai bold. ruthless Cleve-
land-a man with record, high public
officer, and way Of interfering with other
peoples aflairs.
Without the slightest regard for senatorial
courtesy, the welfare of Senators, their imme-
diate friends or The friends of their imme-
diate friends, he reminded the Senators of
their duty to the country, their party, and
themselves. and in plain language told them
that senatorial tradas would no longer go.
And what will the Senators do? 1t is the
condition of a possible veto, and not a theory
of welfare for themselves, their immediate
friends or the friends of their immediate
friends that confronts tn en-.
They will obey Grover.

Death ut the Window

He was great, strong. giant man,
A modern Hercules,
Such as whose looks proclaim they can

And he had wrestled far and near
The strong men of the land,
And made them one and all to fear
Before his strength 10 stand,
And lie would deal such a deadly blow
AS 1t would lay bullcci low.

gibiity for admission into the United States
under the existing laws regulating immigra-
ton. Mr.. Geissenhainer's committee, of
course, had charge Of the bill, and they took
it under consideration and appointed day
for hearing for Mr.. Stone and the advocates
of his pet measure. But somehow Mr.. Stone
got the idea into his head that the Immigra-
ton Committee was opposed TO the bill, that
they were restrained wickedly and dishonor-
ably il the interest of the steamship companies
who would naturally be opposed to all laws
regulating and, in consequence, limiting i'm
migration. He did not appear on the day
named, but quietly and by stealth arose in the
House one day and had the bill referred to
the Judiciary Committee instead. This COM
mittee reported the bill and it was placed
upon the calendar.
Mr.. Geissenhainer, of course, was very
much annoyed, but he made up his mind to
keep his eyes open and his dagger unsheathed
30 rs to be all ready to kill the bill when it
came up.
But the eagle-eyed Mr.. Stone was too much
for him. On Friday when the House was
practically deserted for the Senate. which
was the center of interest, and but thirty or
more members were in the chamber, in which
number Mr.. Geissenhainer was not Mr. Stone
slipped over to Judge Culberson, of the Ju-
dietary Committee, and had the bill called up
out of its order.
But faithful scout of Mr.. Geissenhainer's
in the shape of Doorkeeper of the House
had been intrusted with the duty OF watching
for the bill in the New Jersey statesman's
absence. He called a. page and hustled him
over to the Senate. Mr.. Stone was still eagle
eyed. He saw the whole proceeding and was
equal to tho occasion. Instead OF getting up
and making the speech In advocacy of the
bill which he had prepared he stated with an
air Of easy confidence to the few members
who were present and did not know Of the
iaets that the bill was a necessary one and so
important that he did not wish to reflect upon
the House by making speech in its favor.
The bill was passed without question.
Just then Mr.. Geissenhainer came into the
chamber painting for breath. Now the ma
neuvers are to be continued in the Senate.

The use of incense in the carly Chris
tian church would appear at first TO have
met with strong opposition, and in the
contradictory statements of the early ia
theirs we see the traces of warm contro-
vcrsy. That enthusiastic archmologist,
Didron, in his "Annalcs Arch9ologiques,
has collected wealth of information bear
ing on the use of perfumes in the different
Christian rituals. Writing as n pious
msdiuvalist, he contrasts the pagan abuse
of perfumes ministering to their Widest
orgies, with fheir more spiritual and re-
fined employment in the service of the
church.
Certainly at no time has the cult of per
fumes been carried to higher point than
that reached by the wealthy Romans of
the empire. Witness the important part
that they play in the anecdotes of fcasting
and fast" life which we find scattered
through the pages of Apuleius, Petronius,
AnthcnHus and Lucian.
In his Banquet" Atheneus quotes an
authority who recommends that the legs
should be washed with an Egyptian per.
fume taken from a box of gold, the mouth
and the breast with liquor made from
dates, the arms with mint, the eyebrows
and hair with maPjoram, the knees and
the mock with thyme" In these dcbauches

they drank, brought at great expense from

Mrs. Rorer evidently indorses Marion
Harland's view of the "tyrant potato. "
Says the former: Life is too short to
be spent in digesting potatoes. l never
eat them in any form. You might as
well put pieces of mica into your stom-
ach as fill it with Saratoga chips, " 1t
is undoubtedly true that in many house
holds nowadays the potato habit is much
lessened. Time was when potatoes fried
for breakfast, baked for luncheon and
mashed or plain boiled for dinner was
the logical course of table events in al
most every well regulated family. The
breakfast cereal has practically Danish
ed it from the first meal of the day, it
is often absent from the luncheon board,
and it is really only at dinner that it is
apt to be in perennial evidence. A
dish of boiled rice or samp or baked
hominy will be found an excellent sub,
stitute for the berated Irish tuber, which,
while not perhaps guilty Of all the i'll.
dictmenrs against it, might well be rel
egated to an occasional rather than an
everlasting appearance. - New York

Among the most exquisite of tortures

The manuscript of Johnsons notes for

fully thought over subject before writing

Pope would often rouse his attendant

to him.
Fielding often made a jest Of the poor
reception met with by his works. On the
