The QUEERNEss OF THINGS. is
sort of topsy-turvy world. No one
seems to be satisfied. One man is
struggling to get justice, and another is
flying from it. One man is saving ur
to buy a house, and another is trying to
sell his dwelling for less than it cost to
get rid of it. One man is spending all
the money he can earn in taking a girl
to the theatre and sending her flowers,
in the hope that he may eventually make
her his wife, and his neighbor is spend
ing all the gold he has saved to get a
separation. One man is ordered to eat
eggs because they are nutritious, and
another is cautioned to leave them alone
because they produce bile. One man
keeps pistol to protect himself against
burglars, while his neighbor doesn't
keep one for fear of shooting some
member of the family by mistake. One
rich man wears poor clothes because he
is rich and can do anything. while a
poor man wears fine clothes because he
is poor, and wants to produce the i'm
preston that he is not. One man es-
capes all the diseases that flesh is heir to.
and is killed on railway; another
man goes through half-a-dozen wars
without scratch and then dies of
whoOping cough.

PAGES IN CONGRESS.
The Careers Before Them Are Not In A
Cosaa Tary

| The Careers Before Them Are Not In Al
Cases Very Desirable.
There are lads now employed as page:
in the house and senate who have un.
doubtedly embarked ON careers which
will revolve about the huge marble build
ing on Capitol hill. Some one of them
may live to step into the shoes of Cap
tain Bassett. for instance, the aged and
dignifed assistant doorkeeper of the SEN
ate, who began his services in the upper
chamber over go years ago and is ap.
parently good for several years more
Some of them may become plain, ordi.
nary, everyday doorkeepers of the house
or senate.
There is one man watching senate
door these days who has occupied that
one position for IA years. For years be.
fore he began this work he was similar
ly employed in the house of representa-
tives. The pay of a doorkeeper is not
very large, and the distinction which at
taches to the place is absolutely nil. The
work is not arduous, however, and the
man who fulfills it does not have to use
either his hands or his brains to any ex-
tent-a fact which seems to have had
weight with some of the doorkeepers.
If the parents of the lads who are now
running about the capitol at the beck
and nod of senators and representatives
were to be guided by the experience of
persons who have held these positions,
they might display less anxiety to con-
denim their offspring to an undesirable
future.-Cor. New York Times.

Setting Tyne by Wire.

Donald Murry, newspaper man OF
Sydney, has invented and patented de-
vice by means of which an operator in
New York, with a keyboard before him
like that of an ordinary typewriter, can
not only produce typewriter copy in
New Orleans, but, it is claimed, can op-
crate a typesetting machine here and
deliver his matter thus in lead ready for
the forms. Not only that, but the same
operator, by using number of telegraph
lines, can set up the same copy simulta-
neously in dozen different places. In
this operation any ordinary currents are
used, such as are capable of being relay
ed and are subject to all conditions of
ordinary telegraphy. The work can be
done with the same speed as an ordinary
typewriter is operated and dispenses with
all clockwork mechanism, synchronous-
ly moving type wheels and other cum
brous devices. 1t is said to be capable
of manipulating some so different char
acters.-Press and Printer.

The Care of Vines,

Demorest's Magazine for April.
Let me say few words as to the care
vines should receive. They should be
given just as good soil as that given
shrubs; too frequently they are neglected
in this respect. and the owner wonders
why they fail TO do well. Every spring
dig in about their roots some old, we'll
rotted manure, and be sure to keep
weeds and grass from choking them, and
at the same time 60 over them and re-
move all supernuous growth, and all
that is weak or has been. injured. Care
ful pruning is as beneficial to vine as
to a shrub. Be sure, too. to give sub
stantial support to all vines needing it.
Never fasten them to the walls with bits
of cloth, as cloth soon decays and your
plant is likely TO take a tumble some
day which may greatly injure it. Use,
instead, strips of leather or wire. The
latter is best if care be taken to wind it
with something to prevent its cutting
into the wood. have seen iron sup
ports which can be put over the vine
and driven into the wall that are very
good for small vines, but they would not
answer for large and heavy ones. Wis
tarias require no support when they
reach the cOrnice If there are brackets
there for them to Chamber through. The
American ivy requires no artificial sup
port at any time; except, as / said, dur
ing the first year. Fasten it closely to
the wall untils it gets hold of it; after
that it will take care of itself.

Drew The Line at colonsls.


Colonel VIM. NJ Olin, the secretary of
the Commonwealth, distinguished him.
self, says the Boston Herald, the other
evening at the dinner of the New Eng
land Club of the Delta Upsilon, by tell
ing half dozen really excellent stories.
The one 1 most distinctly remember has
never appeared in print, SO far as l
know.
Mr.. Olin was speaking of the ease
with which the soldiers of the great
armies of both the North and the South
returned to their homes to take up again
their regular pursuits; after the war
was over.
"One summer" said he, "a few years
after the war, Colonel HigginsoR was
travelling in the South, and he got to
talking with a farmer in some little
town, who was employing considerable
number of men in his haying. The
farmer told Colonel Higginson that
most of them were old confederate sol
diers.
".You see over there where those four
men are workilg?' asked he. well,
all of 'en fought in the war. One of
'em was Corporal, one was a Major,
and that man way over in the corner
was a Colonel.
".Are they good men?' asked Colonel
Higginson.
"'Well, said the farmer, 'that private's
first-class man, and the Corporal's pref
ty good, too
But how about the Major and the
Colonel?'
"'The Majors $685. said the farmer.
But the Colonel?'
We'll, l don't want to say nothin'
against any man who was a Colonel in
the war; said the farmer, 'but I've made
up my mind wont hire no Brigadier-
Generals

The Husbands Blunder.

They were celebrating their silver
wedding, and of course the couple were
very happy and affectionate.
"Yes," said the husband, 'my dear
wife is the only woman | ever loved. l
shall never forget the first time l pro-
posed to her. L remember it as well as
if it were yesterday. 1t was at Henly.
We were at a picnic, and she and |
were wandering alone. Don't you re-
member, my dear?" The wife nodded
and smiled. ave sat on the trunk of
an old tree. You haven't forgotten, love
have you?" The wife nodded again.
"She began writing in the dust with the
point of her parasol. You recall it.
sweet, don't you?" The wife nodded
again. "She wrote her name Minnie,
and 1 said, Let me put the other name
to it, and took the parasol and wrote
my Names -'Smith'-after it."
"How lovely!" broke out little maid
who was beaming in suspicious way
on tall young man with blonde mus
tache.
"And she took back the parasol and
wrote below it, No, l won't And we
went home. You remember it, darling
I see you do"
Then the ladies murmured sentiment
ally: wasn't it sweet?"
The guests had all departed and the
happy couple were left alone.
wasn't it nice, Minnie, to see all our
friends around us so happy?"
"Yes, it was. But John, that remi-
niscence?"
"Ah, it seems as if it had been only
yesterday"
"Yes. dear; there are only three things
you are wrong about in that story"
"Wrong? Oh, mol"
"John, I'm sorry you told that story,
because l never went to picnic with
you before we were married, L was nev-
er at Henley in my life and l never re-
fused you"
"My darling. you must be wrong!"
I'm not wrong! 1 have an excellent
memory, and although we have been
married twenty five years, I'd like to
know who that mink Minnie was! You
never told me about her before"

SINCE it is possible in almost every
line of business to cut down expenses
and thus secure measure of relief from
the hard times, it ought to be possible
to cut down public expenses also. The
general rule is to spend all the public
money in sight and usually little more
and never to cut down the tax rate, bul
to raise it, ifany change is made. Since
there has been general decline in
prices there is no sufficient reason why
the public service need cost so much,
except the lack of financiering, and that
it seems impossible to get in the public
service.
