Last week the senate lost several
hours of valuable time in the discus
sion of the proposition to buy the
Blaine residence, which is near the
department of justice. The plea was
that the property was highly desirable
and that the government certainly
ought to own it. The widespread
opinion is that the purchase was bit
of alleged senatorial courtesy-Sena-
tor Cameron wanted to feel assured
that a new theater would not be built
on the site in too close proximity to
his Washington establishment. In
this instance, as in many others, sew
eral republican senators were willing
to appropriate money as layishly as
possible, leaving the democrats to take
the responsibility for the waste of the
peoples money But the house re-
fused to concur In the appropriation
for the purchase of the Blaine prop
erty and, last night, the senators found
themselves obliged to give it up.

The unusual spectacle of the United

was presented yesterday. They called
the day Saturday and got to business
at o'clock This rush of work light
easily have been avoided-the session
has had little that was essential to do,
except TO make the round of the APP
preparations. This tagging finish is
characteristic of lazy and incompe-

up against locomotive engineer and
a fireman who had their wits about
them. The would-be robbers boarded
the engine all bravely enough and had
their reyolvers trained on the railroad

liminaries for the robbery were going
on, the fireman tackled one of the

F1irted with a Dummy.

At one of the suburban stations
along the line of the Reading railroad
an enterprising soap manufacturer has
erected factory and warehouse, says
the Philadelphia Record Facing the
railroad is the large bulk window of
the main salesroom. In this window
one day a few weeks ago there APP
peared to the riders of the early morn
ing trains a very pretty girl, who
seemed to have paused in the midst of
her labor of washing the window to
fiirt with the travellers. Nearly every
male rider who saw her proceeded to
flirt with her, and the male riders on
all trains that passed during the day
did the same. In fact, she has been
Girted with ever since, although most
of the regular riders have long since
aearned that the beautiful young girl
in the window is but waxen figure.

How to Eject Desirable Transforms.
tiOn of an Old Fireplace.
Crates are quite fashionable, and
most modern houses are furnished with
one or two in addition to the usual pro-
vision for stoves. But in some houses, es-
pecially in old farmhouses built twenty
five or thirty years ago, the fireplace
was made for use, with little regard for
beauty. Now, these have become an
eyesore to people who have grown up
without even having once used them.
Usually the first step toward remedy
is to shut the opening with board;
but this is often little better than that
which it hides. If covered with paper,
the paper is likely to crack along the
seams.
A friend seems to have solved the
problem, however, in fairly satisfac-
tory way. The mantel and fireplace
were extremely plain, and the fireboard
was of bare yellow pine boards, with
which she was never pleased. At last,
an idea struck her; she would turn the
family artist, and nearly every family
has one, to some account. The board

How to Make SWALLOW Bows.

Swallow bows" are now taking the
place of butterfly bows, and are made
in this way: Take stiff glace ribbon
two or three inches wide and cut one
end with long, sharp points like a
swallows tail. Place a loop below,
which represents the thickness of the
birds body, and then two side ends cut
in diagonal points for the wings. With
a rosette as finish this makes a very
effective bow. A charming hat trimmed
with two of these swallow bows, one
on either side, was of black leghorn,
with fiuted brim and a full red June
rose in each flute

WIDEST REGION IN AMERICA.

Tract of One Thousand Square Miles
Located in the State of Oregon.
Assistant Chief Goode, of the United
States geological survey, who visited
Oregon last summer, says that the
widest region of the entire United
States is an area of one thousand
square miles lying in the mountains be-
tween Roseburg and Coquille, in
Douglas and Coos counties. He de-
scribes it as mysterious undiscovered
country, in which roams undisturbed
wild game, and whose brooks and
rivers are filed with wild fowl. 1t is
nearly all covered with a dense growth
of pine, fir, hemlock and other trees,
says the Northwest Magazine. Many
of the trees are of enormous size, and
stand so closely that it is difficult for
men to make their way between them.
Where the trees are not SO thick the
heavy growth of bushes of various
kinds takes their place. 1t is coun-
try that is filed with all kinds of wild
game, including, as reported to him,
elk, different kinds of bear, mountain
lions deer and other animals, inc1ud-
ing lynx and others. There are also
the varied kinds of fowl. The streams
all have an abundance of trout and
other kinds of fish. He penetrated into
the wilds dozen miles and saw things
that filled him with wonder at the
vastness of the forest and that anyone
should attempt to live in it.

MOON MYTHS
The Satellite an Object of Worship aad
Superstition m Nearly All Nations.

The Satellite object of Worship aad
Superstition IN Nearly All Nations.
The moon has been worshiped among
nearly all the nations of the world from
time immemorial; indeed, her cult has
been asserted to be much older estab-
lished than sun-worship, says All the
Year Round.
The Peruvian peasant hurries home
out of the old moonshine, afraid of the
stern eyes of Mama Quilla, and the
Egyptian fellah lounges across the
sands where the sphinx shadow lies
black at his feet, with a prayer on his
lips or in his heart to Thoth-Thoth,
the Master of Wisdom, the Lord of the
Ibis, in whose absence the fair land OF
Kehm has been brought down very
low.
Swabian girls still refuse to spin by
moonlight, ''lest they would anger
Her." they say, vaguely, and in Ger
many children firmly believe in Horse1
or Holda,- whose boat is the moon,
whose flower is the fax and whose de-
light is to reward industrious little
maidens. Dante makes the man in the
moon Cain; in Egypt he is Horus, held
to the breast of Isis, his mother and the
moon. In Rantum the man in the moon
is giant, who at flowing tide stops to
pour water on the earth and at ebb tide
stands upright in order that the waters
may subside.
A curious eastern fancy is that the
figure in the moon is that of the pattern
wife, Ina, who weaves the clouds into
white cloth, and who, after the lapse of
many years, sent her mortal husband
back to earth by the rainbow bridge in
order that death might not defle her
heavenly home. The cat and the panther
are both connected with the moon in
some vague, occult fashion; indeed, in
Australia the moon is represented as a
native cat and also in Egypt. In China
the celestials say that there is a frog in
the moon, a metamorphosed beauty
called Change.

HOW TO KEEP YOUNG.
The Daily Nap a Useful Aid in the Pres
ervation of Beauty.

The Daily Nap a Useful Aid in the Pres
ervation of Beauty.
American women might learn an adj
vantageous lesson of their French sis
tiers in the art of keeping young. But
it is no receipt for cosmetics that they
would acquire. First of all, French
DANES do not worry, or if they do they
conceal the fact admirably. They are
apparently on the crest of the wave of
good fortune perpetually. Next, and
almost equally important, they decline
to hurry. They take life moderately,
perform their duties without haste and
Inger over their pleasures. And in
these two simple rules lies mine of
wealth for her who is wise enough to
appropriate it.
The daily nap is valuable auxiliary
to preserving youth. And, speaking of
rest, Mrs. Alma Calder Johnson deplores
the fact that the little flap of flesh once
wont to cover our ear orifces at will is
no longer in working order. ''It was
at one time, you know" she says, ''just
like our eyelids, and could thus shut
out sound as readily as the former could
shut out sight. Now, however, we
must resort to artificial means to rest
our tired tympanuma 1 often think
what a blessed privilege it would be to
be able to stop up our ears whenever
we wanted. There is nothing that rests
me like closing my eyes, and I make
practice of always doing so in street
cars and like places. Thus l gain odd
minutes of repose, with comparatively
little expenditure of time. "-PhiladeI-

Rossetti replied: II mean to teach him
to clean the windows. Then, when
some one passes by the house he will
see the elephant cleaning the windows
and will say: Who lives in that house?'
and people will tell him: %, that's a

say: I think I should like to buy one of
that mans pictures SO he will ring

unique manner. Deep maroon brocade
has been tackled overit to simulate wall
paper, but with result far richer than
the costliest variety of paper. The

ground for the pictures and ornaments
of the room, and is splendid IN its effect
when lighted by the many glittering

shines at night.

out the color scheme. The dining-room
seated about thirty people, and as the

room was filed. The afternoon was
thoroughly enjoyed by the members of
