How 1t Feels to Go Barefoot.

If you wish to know the essence of
comfort when you go yachting, burn
your corsets and return your shoes and
stockings to your trunk until you en-
ter a civilized port. For four years I
have worn neither except in public.
Consequently 1 run no risk of a chill
from cold or damp feet. It certainly
requires a little training before you
are able to walk over rough ground
with the unnatural, soft soles of the
shoe-bound foot, but it is mere easily
and quickly done than you would i'm
agine. After years of being swathed
and bound and tied and eased in
whalebone, it gives a delicious sense
of freedom to be clad in nothing but a
gauze wooden shirt, a menu and a
holaku. There is not anywhere a band
| or string to check the blood in your
veins. and as you stand on the deck
of your ship, all your body conscious
of the rhythmical, elastic roll of the
sea and the fresh. clean trades sweetly
blowing. you feel like bird on the
wing.-Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson in
the Boston Herald

Washington, Feb. 22.-Washington's
birthday in the House was productive
Of dramatic incidents which may pos
sibly eliminate with legal proceedings
against the sergeant-at-arms for false
Imprisonment of members of Congress.
Sergeant-at-Arms Snow, acting by
virtue Of the general warrant of arrest
issued last Monday, has been appre-
hending members wherever found.
The warrant contains the names of
fifty-siX congressman. Snow began
last night to arrest congressman or the
floor of the House on warrants charg-
ing them with absenting themselves
on Monday This was in accordance
with a colloquy between Speaker Crisp
and the sergeant-at-arms during the
session yesterday.
Snow asked if he was expected to
arrest members on the floor.
Crisp answered the ergeant-at-arms
was expected to execute his order
This was accepted as meaning that
the arrests on the floor should be made
and Snow at once began to carry this
idea into effect He arrested seven
congressman as they sat in their seats
Deputy Hill made as many more ar
rests In each case the member was
was released on parole to report when
required.
This morning the arrests began
again, and continued until interrupted
by a. stirring scene
Cummings came down the middle
aisle of the House, just as the session
was about to open
Hill stepped up TO him. and notified
him.. by virtue Of a warrant he had.
thaC Cummings would be placed under
arrest and his parole taken.
The congressman flushed and took
atRe matter seriously. He stepped back
As66 in bitter language denounced the
: effort 10 arrest him. He refused TO
recognize the validity of the warrant.

For a moment it looked as though

Cummings plainly intimated that he
indicating an arrest by force.
The deputy quickly withdrew, how
eever, as the duties of the sergeant-at-
arms are to avoid indignities to con-
gressmen in every way possible.
The members apprehended threaten
to secure suitable redress and talk OF
legal proceedings for false imprison-
ment.
Sergeant-at-arms Snow says: 1.-The
greatest care has been taken to avoid
giving 0ffense to members. Ny orders
to deputies are to proceed with the
greatest caution and Difference. We dc
not arrest members as though they
were tramps or common DRINKS. They

A Most Disorderly session.

Washington, Feb 22.-The House
met Today, contrary to the custom on
Washington's birthday, owing to the
tangle over the Bland seigniorage bill.
The proposition of securing a quorum
was not as good as it was yesterday.
Bland and his followers were APP
parenIly disheartened; but refused TO
accept a compromise by dropping the
section of the bill providing for the
coinage of the remainder of the bull

tended the Democratic caucus on the
18th, though they were in entire SYM
pathy with the resolution adopted by
that caucus: that it was the duty of
the Democrats to attend the session Of
the House and transact business.
Then Cummings, of New York arose
and denounced vigorously the attempt
made 10 arrest him this morning by
the sergeant-at-arms. He declared
he had been present at the session OF
the House daily hours before and
hours after the sergeant-at-arms was
there. He TOLD that official and his as
sistants to arrest him at their peril
He stigmatized as unbridled tyranny

Dockery. who was in the chair. de-
cided that as Cummings had been
recognized for a personal explanation,
he could not make motion.

his signiorage bill at 3 p. m. Saturday,
and demanded the previous question
thereon.
Cummings again moved 10 adjourn

Cummings demanded the yeas and
nays The Republicans and Demo-
cratic opponents of the bill voted for
adjournment but it was lost-117 to
140.
RedIam broke loose and the most in
tense excitement prevailed this after
noon when the arrested members were
brought to the bar of the House.
The validity of the warrants were
questioned, General Sickles claiming
the sergeant-at-arms was liable to dc-
ton by each member arrested.
Several attempts to adjourn were
unsuccessful, and on two occasions the
sergeant-at-arms was compelled to
clear the asles with the mace.
Great confusion arose over Sicl1les'
demand to be heard on a question Of
privilege.
AS the way out Of the difficulty it
was decided TO hear the report of the
sergeant-at-arns giving a list Of those
arrested as follows: Richards Beltz-

Economic RevoIution by Peanuts.

Mr.. Atkinson says there is greater
withdrawing capabilities in using
the peanuts merely for the manufac-
turing Of oil than there ever was in
the cotton seed oil industry. In a
private letter regarding this article Mr..
Atkinson says: THE more 1 deal with
these heterogeneous plants deriving their
nitrogen from the atmosphere, the
more it becomes apparent that the
whole system of English political
economy will be revolutionized, the
Malthusian dogma disappear, the
Ricardian theory of rent vanish and
the so-called law of diminishing returns
from lands is reversed. In this view
the peanut article becomes the begin
ming of a discussion of paramount i'm
