AN IDEAL MOTHER.
The First Lady in the Land and Her
"JeweIs."

Mrs. Cleveland is an ideal mother.
1t is true that the Roses of France
have faded from her cheek since her
lovely form and face first dawned on
the citys astonished vision, but in its
place has come matronly shape, a
mothers tender dignity and a wife's
high resolve. No woman looks at her
especially if she is privileged to see her
with her babies, without warming to
intense LOYALTY. Ruth was not, to my
thinking, a beautiful child, but one of
unusual attractions and exceedingly
winning When l saw her in the spring
just after she had begun to go alone,
I had a bunch of violets in my hands.
She wanted them and I gave them to
her. She took them to a remote part
of the room, spread out her dress, laid
violet after violet upon 1t, looked at
them awhile and then laid them dalnt-
lily into the tin foil and brought them
back. | never saw so young a child so
concentrate her attention. The last
thing l heard of her she was doing
down to the tftchen to see the tittens,' =
in which expedition she emulated

AGAINST THE UNITED STATES.
Contracts Between the U. p. and w.
u. Are Binding.

st. Louis, Jan. 29.-Judges Caldwell.
Thayer and Lanborn, United States
court of appeals, this afternoon handed
down a decision in the case of the
Union Pacific railway company, appel
lants, against the United States, APP
pellee, upon appeal from the circuit
court of the United States for the dis
trict of Omaha, which had entered a
decree annulling all contracts between
the Union Pacific and the telegraph
company. and ordering the road to
operate the telegraph lines in accord
ance with law. The court of appeals
reversed the case, and remanded it with
directions to the circuit court to set
aside the former decree and enter a
modified decree in accordance with the
specified provisions. The principal
points in the decree are that the con-
tract between the Western Union and
the Union Pacific is lawful and binding
and the grants of exclusive rights and
privileges by the railroad are repug-
nant to the acts of Congress and are
ruled void.

How the suItan is Fed.

It requires just twice as many slaves
as there are courses to serve the sui
tan's dinner. He usually sits on di-
van near window, which looks over
the Bosphorus, and takes his ease in
a loose pembazar and gegelik with his
sleeves turned up. He never uses a
plate. He takes all his food direct
from the vesells in which it is cooked.
Each kettle is sealed with slip of pa
per and a stamp. and this is broken in
the presence of his majesty by the high
chamberlain, who tastes one spoonful
of each separate kettle before the royal
parsonage takes it.
This, of course, is to prevent the sui
tan from being poisoned. These YES
sells are sometimes gold. But when of
baser metal the kettle is set into a
rich, golden, bell-shaped holder, the
handle of which is held by a slave
while the sultan eats. Each kettle com
prises a course and is served with
bread and a kind of pancake, which is
held on another golden tray by an
other slave. The sultan never uses a
table and rarely a knife and fork. A
spoon, his piece of bread, pancake or
fingers are far handler. The whole
household is at liberty to take meals
when it suits him or her best and then
every one is served with small tray,
with a spoon and a great chunk OF
bread. The high officers only get the
pancakes.
After his majesty is satisfied lie takes
his coffee and chibouk and INDUCES III
a quiet reverie His permanent order
is that he be not disturbed during his
restful Spell.---Chicago Mail.

GratefuI and Comforting.

An attempt was once made by an
American man of letters to relate to
Mr.. Edmund Gosse the story of Mr..
Alma-Tadema' S falling in love with a
beautiful girl, whom he subsequently
married She was one of Mr.. Epps's
two daughters. who had been popularity
named from their fathers famous CO.

Goss received the story so seriously
that his entertainer questioned his
sense of lumor until he learned later,
to his surprise and embarrassment,
that the artist and poet were brothers
in-law, Mr.. Gosse himself having mar
ried Comforting Independent.

numbers when they are under $500.
When over that amount, they are con-
sidered by a joint committee Of the
House and Council. The object Of
this is that wher. any one desires to be
heard in defense of his claim, instead
of making his showing before the
Council and House committees sep
arately, he can do so before both COM
mites at one time. When the joint
committee decides upon the amend
ment of a claim it can then be report
ed to the House and Council for the
same amount. This will avoid a great
deal of confusion during the rush of
work the last few days of the session.
This change is looked upon as berg
in the line of progress.

people had to yell at me before
