The days of big free lunches by the
sergeant-at-arms of the senate, and free
transportation everywhere for ell SEN
ate officials and employees, has become
a reminiscence. Those affairs were all
paid for by the money of the people,
and considerable extravaganza was in
dulged in by everybody. The time
came, however, when the facts became
apparent to the general public, and the
result was carefulness and honesty in
the expenditure of public funds. For
many years after the civil war there
was a great degree of =, ishness in the
management of public funds. The
long-continued war not only brought
poverty TO the masses, but it brought
wealth to the classes. That has been
the history of every country that has
engaged in war. The government is
to-day economically administered, not
only in the executive, but also in the
legislative branch. There are no longer
kings of the lobby, VIGOROUSLY swag-

A new generation has grown up since
the civil war, and they have chosen
new representatives in both houses of

the country has been wonderfully ele-
waited, and the effect is seen here more
notieeably than anywhere else in the
land. SMITH ID. Fay.

Hated whisky Worse Than Poison.

Ex-senator Kellogg. of Louisiana,
who knows all about recent history of
public affairs. says that when John X.
French was sergeant at arms of the
senate, curing the closing hours of a
session of congress he prepared an
elaborate lunch in his private office for
the convenience of the senators who
were much fatigued by the long night
session. Among those who came in
were lack Chandler. Matt Carpenter,
"rare old McCreary," Roscoe COnkling
and a dozen others, to whom a glass of
wine was not at all disagreeable. After
the senators had been helping them
selves to this lunch for an hour or so,
Chandler suddenly remarked TO French:
1.-The president is in his room, and [
don't believe he has had anything to
eat tonight. How would il do to- ask
him in here?" Mr.. French said he would
hardly dare TO ask the president to 6e
his guest, although he wonld very
much like to send him a lunch. "Oh,
pshaw!" said old Zach: ''go ask him in;
he will come" So the sergeant-at
arms went to the presidents room and
invited him TO step in and have little
lunch. Chandler met Grant at the door
and escorted him into the room. The
invitation to the president included
the members of the cabinet, all of
whom came in. The last to come was
Marshall Jewell. Jewell was thirsty
and first wanted glass of water. so he
stepped up to the water tank which
stood near the marble wash basin, and,
picking up glass he found there. sud
denly exclaimed: There's been whisky
in this glass; and proceeded to rinse it
again and again, and then, as he
turned the ice-cold water into il, re-
marked: IL hate whisky, and | might
also say that | hate any man who
drinks it,"
Grant had drunk from that glass, and
this may be one of the incidents which
gradually formed in President Grants
mind prejudice against Gen.
Jewell, the outcome of which was
his peremptory dismissal from
the cabinet The postmaster gen
eral had what most men would
regard as profound reason and
right to say what he did in regard to
the use of Intoxicating liquor; for, al
though he never ed il himself in any
form. it was the cause of great domes-
tic sorrow and misfortune to him, as
those familiar with the history of the
household well know.

LIGHTHOUSE LIBRARIES.
Uncle Sam Furnishes the Watchers by Z
Sea With Fine Reading Mailer.

Uncle sam Furnishes the Watchers by the
Sea with Fine Reading Matter.
The popular impression concerning
she ighthouse-keepers Is that they
spend their leisure time in resting their
heads on their hands and gazing far
out to sea, watching for shipwrecked
mariners, sea serpents and other
things. As matter of fact however,
they don't spend any more time in this
manner than they can help They have
their domestic operations just the same
as people on shore. In favored lOca-
tons they are even able to cultivate
a little ground and raise their own
vegetables. But they are really very
often lonesome, and were more so un-
til recently, when it occurred to some
philanthropic government official that
it would be good idea 10 provide these
watchers by the sea with something in
the way of reading matter. The idea
took shape in the construction OF port
able libraries, to be filed by the gov
eminent, sent to one lighthouse sta
ton. and at regular intervals to be
called for and passed on TO the next
one on the list.
The library now furnished to light
stations is about two feet high, two
feet wide and eight inches deep, of
shellacked white pine, strengthened
with heavy brass trimmings. 1t has
two shelves. Its two doors are secured,
the one with an inside bolt and the
other with a mortised lock. On the
sides are hinged handles. When locked
the library cases can stand rough hand
ling.
The cases of the libraries are so con-
structed that they make neat appear
ance when set upright on table; when
closed and locked they are ready for
transportation. Each contains on an
average about forty volumes of prop
er admixture of historical and Ecien-
tific works. besides poetry and good
novels. An exchange of libraries takes
place once in about three months, usu-
ally at the time when the lighthouse
inspector makes his quarterly inspec-
ton. Each station TO which a library
is furnished thus has the use of about
one hundred and fifty different books
each year. There are now about sew
en- hundred of these libraries in circu-
lation. and more are in preparation.
Preference is given in their distribu-
ton to those lighthouse stations most
distant from towns and villages--N.
