CostIiest Parliament in the world.

EoStliest Parliament in the World.
1t may not be generally known that
the costliest parliament in the world
is the democratic one Of France, the
two chambers annually costing the
nation upwards of 51,500,O0O. Next
i'll order come the parliaments of
Spain, Italy Austria, England Bel
GUM and Portugal.
The German reichstag costs 800
900. a.
In France S4,075 per diem is the
price paid for the privilege of having
laws made by the cham Der Of deputies.
More than S1,000,0OO is swallowed
up by the salaries of the legislators.
The staff of the house consists of 243
persons, costing S144,3O0. There is
consequently, nearly one servant to
every two deputies.
Among the officials are a rat catch
er, who has a salary of S140, and one
whose duty is to mend the umbrellas
Of the deputies. His post was invent
ed at the time Of Louise Philippe, who
never walked out without one, and so
elderly and influential gentlemen
adopted the fashion of carrying UNI
brellas and eschewing walking sticks.

He Killed the Fly.

The Geneseo (Ill) News tells this
story: Up near Atkinson is a farm
er's wife, who read in the back end of
some almanac, where the leaves are
all torn out, that corns can be cured
by rubbing them with the heads of
old fashioned blue matches. One corn
hurt her very much. 1t was very ten
der. She could hardly bear to touch
it, but she slyly rubbed the match
heads on, according to directions, and
went to bed, confidently expecting to
find the corn dead in the morning.
In the night the phosphorus in the
match heads began to gnaw pretty
hard at the corn, and she became
restless, finally kicking off the covers,
which wakened her husband. He
looking sleepily about for the quilts,
spied what he took to be q FREELY at
at the foot of the bed. At once arriv-
ing at the conclusion that the insect
had been annoying his wife, causing
her to kick, he slipped out of bed,
seized one of her shoes, spat on his
hands, and fetched the supposititious
insect a whack The yell his wife
gave scared all the stock out of the
barn yard.

Victorious in Eheir Fight Against
yuSuerIor sutton.


ST.. PAUL, nec. 12.-The supreme
court this morning announced its de-
cision in case affecting the tenure Of
office of John =. Sutton as state boiler
inspector. Tho effect of the decision is
to Dust that gentleman from the position
to which he was appointed by the gov
ernor.
The case against Sutton was brought
in the form OF Il quo warranto proceed
iugs on motion OF Attorney General
Chills.e who was petitoned by the or
ganization of the stationary engineers OF
the state. Their attorney held that the
appointment of Sutton was contrary to
! the constitution of the state, inasmuCh
as that document provides that no sen
ator or representative elected to a posi-
ton in the state legislature shall hold
any other Office under the state or fed
eral government during the time for
which he was elected to such Office.
The argument advanced by the attor-
neys representing Sutton was that his
resignation from the Legislative position
TO which he was elected at the end ol
the session of the legislature left him
free to accept the position Of boiler in
spector.
The decision, which has been a con
siderable time in coming. will affect the
holding of Office by several persons who
have been appointed in q similar way
among them j. X. Jones, state factory
inspector; A Z Ferr'' of 10 stat,
