W nat the speaker says usually goes.
IL is an odd fact that, though Mr.. Crisp
was singled out for promotion to the speak
ershlp largely on account of his vigorous
opposition TO the so called tyranny of
speaker Reed, as speaker Mr.. Crisp rules
the house with every bit as much absolu-
tism aS Mr.. Reed ever did. This does not
mean that Mr.. Crisp is by nature "A tvrant.

one OF those mild hammered, easy going

and who still have their own way about
pretty nearly everything OF Importance.
There Must BE a Leader
The speaker controls the house not
through love of power but because the
genius of our legislative institution requires
some control, and if there is to be control
of any personal sort the speaker must be
that person. 1t is now we'll accepted fact
that the American house of representatives
must have leadership, and that in the Sc
lection of one of their number to fill the Of
flee of speaker the majority choose also one
who must needs be more or less of dcta-
tor. 1t is mistake to suppose that Mr..
Reed was the discoverer or even the prophet
of rule by speaker. That sort of thing had
been going on for years in a mild sort of
way before Mr.. Reed took hold. What he
did was to improve upon the process. to
provide means by which the majority could
always rule and a minority never, and to
insure to the speaker not only the right but
the power to control so long as a majority
stood at his back. Mr. Blaine Mr.. ColfaX,
Mr.. keifer, Mr. Randall, Mr. Carlisle had
as speaker been compelled to sit for many
weary days while the minority hissed def
ance at them and blockaded all roads to

ST feel like a new man." says Brig. Gen.
w. L. Greenleaf of the National Guard of
Vermont.
ST do not know the equal of Paine's
celery compound"
Brigadier- General Greenleaf of Bur-
lington, VT, is man of national reputa-
ton.
AS a soldier, he has the courage Of his
convictions, and mantully makes pub
lie statement of what he knows will ben
eft others. He writes as follows:
Permit me to add my testimony to the
valuable qualities of Paine's celery COM
pound, which I consider the best prepara-
ration of It's class on the market. From
an experience of nearly twenty years in
the handling of drugs, am familiar with
the medical properties of its various in
gradients, and do not hesitate to recon-
mend it, especially as | never heard Of a
case where it did not give perfect satisfac
ton.
81 have used it myself on several occa-
sions, and always with benefit. Last
spring, being very much run down and
debilitated. L procured some of Paine's
celery compound and commenced taking
it. The first bottle produced very marked
results. and the use of two bottles made
me feel like a new man. AS a general
tonic l do not know its equal.'

changes in the blood vessels. They be-

condition of the arteries admits larger
current of blood, and, as a consequence,
it's motion becomes so much slower and
more sluggish. congestion of the lining of
the blood vessels ensues, with the result
ing formation of morbid matter, which is
thrown into the blood stream, producing
rheumatism, gout, neuralgia, diseases of
liver and kidneys, nervous weakness and
debility, and the many direct signs of inn
pure blood, as skin diseases in some of
the many forms.
Paine's celery compound cures nervous
debility.

dence, e. b. Judkins, NJ. D., of Portland,

practitioners all over the country have re-

SUGGESTION OF NATURE.
James Russell Lowell on "The Imag
inatiOn,,s

James Russell Lowell on 1.-THE Imag-
ination.''
For my own part l would venture to
affirm that not only meter but even
rhyme itself was not without suggestion
in outward nature. Look at the pine,
how its branches. balancing each other,
ray out from the taperng stem In StanZa
after stanza; how spray answers to spray
in order, strophe and apostrophe, till the
perfect tree stands an embodied ode, Ma
tdre's triumphant vindication of proper
ton, number and harmony. Who can
doubt the innate charm OF rhyme who
has seen the blue river repeat the blue
oerhead; who has been raviShed by the
visible consonance of the tree growing at
once toward an upward and downward
heaven on the edge OF the twilight cove;
or who has watched how, as the king
fisher fitted from shore to shore, his vis-
ible echo flies under him, and completes
the tleeting couplet in the visionary vault
below?
At least there can be no doubt that
meter, by its systematic and regular oc-
currence, gradually subjugates and tunes
the senses of the hearer, as the wood ofthe
violin arranges itself in sympathy with
the vibration of the strings, and thus that
predisposition to the proper emotion is
accom- piished which is essential to
the purpose of the poet. You must
not only expect, but you must expect
in the right way; you must be mag
neIized beforehand in every fiber by
your own sensibility in order that you
may feel what and how you ought. The
right reception OF whatever is ideally rep
resented demands as a preliminary condi-
ton an exalted, or, if not that then an
excited frame of mind, both in poet
and hearer. The imagination must
be sensitized ere it will take the
Impression of those airy nothings
whose image is traced and fixed by ap-
pliances as delicate as the golden pencils
of the sun. Then that becomes visible
reality which before was but phantom
OF the brain. Your own passion must
penetrate and mingle with that OF the
artist that you may interpret him Alright.
You must, l say, be prepossessed, for 1t is
the mind which shapes and colors the re-
ports ofthe senses.
Suppose you were expecting the bell to
toll for the burial of some beloved per-
son and the church clock should begin TO
strike. The first lingering blow of the
hammer would beat upon your very
heart, and thence the shock would run to
all the senses at once; but after a few
strokes you would be undeceived, and
the sound would become commonplace
again. On the other hand, suppose that

STREET BEGGING.

The Cleverest AII-ArOund Vagabond
In the World.
The street-beggar is, l believe the cle-
verest all-arOund vagabond in the world.
He knows more about human nature
than any other tramp of my acquaint-
ance, and can read it's weak points with
surprising ease. [ used to know a New
York tramp of this kind who begged al
most entirely OF women as they walked
along the streets, and he claimed that he
could tell, the minute he had seen their
eyes, whether it would pay to tackle
'em." How he did this l do not pretend
to know, and he could not tell himself,
but it was true that he never Judged a
woman wrongly Fifth avenue was his
beat and he knew fully fifty women in
that district who were sure to give him
something. His main tricks, if l can call
them such, were those of the voice rather
than OF the hand. He knew when to
whine and when to talk straight" and,
best Of all, he knew when to make people
laugh. This is the highest accomplish
nent of the street. -beggar, for when per-
to get something; and If he can succeed in
picking out a certain number OF clients,

beggar Of this sort whose main trick, or
capital, as she called it, was extreme faith
in the cnivalry of men. She would acCu-
ally hang on to man, and tragically ex-
claim:
"How dare you cast me off? Don't you
know that l am woman? Have you no
mother or sisters? Would you treat
them as you are treating me?"
Some men are so Squeamishly and
nervously chivalrous that they will be
taken in by such beggar any time.
Women very often make the keenest
street beggars. They are more original
in posing and dressing, and if, with their
other talents, they can also use their
voices cleverly, they.do very well. Speak
ing of bosing, reminds me of a woman
who is usually to be found near the AL
hambra Music Hall in London. She
dresses very quietly and neatly. and her
entire manner IS that of lady. L believe
that she really was one in her day, but
liquor has made her match vender; and
her clever pose and dress are so attractive
that people give her three times the value
of the matches which she gives them.
This match-selling is the trick of the
London street begar. 1t is trick of de-
fense against the police, and at the same
time a "blind" to the public. People
think that men and women selling
matches are trying TO earn an honest liv-
ing and this is true sometimes; but, ac-
cording to my observation, the majority
of match venders offer one hand TO the
public for aims, and carry their ''lights''
(matches) in the other.-Century.
