The Senate went on record last
Monday, as being under the direction
of private clique, by passing a
measure providing for the purchase, at
high figure, of the mansion belong
ing to Mrs. Blaine, on Lafayette
Square, Washington, d. Co 1t is said
the government has no earthly use for
the property, which has at best only Il
meagre title that may in the future
cause trouble, but influence was
brought to bear upon the matter and
the majority ruled. Some of these no
ted Solons may need peculiar jury to
pass upon their cases at a no very dis
tant date, where influence and jobbery
has little hope of receiving favorable
report. Our treasury needs assistance,
not depletion. The amount involved
is said to be $4,000.

Flower Girls In Real life.

The Glover girls Of Italy arc worse
than the pcddlers.
The "girl' is usually Il plump and pic
turesque creature, aged anywhere from rs
to 40 and possessed of "nerve" even be-
yond her years. She flourishes best in
Venice and Naples, but there is no Ger.
tainty of escaping her anywhere.
Suppose the stranger seats himself at a
table in St. Marks square, Venice, to
listen to the evening band concert. No
sooner has he seated himself than tho flow
or girl advances On him, preceded by tho
witchery Of n beaming smile.
She will place a flower in his button
hole.
He may prevent her doing so by rising
and offering physical resistance, but other
wise he must accept the flower. After the
flower has been placed there he may re-
move it and offer it to her, but she will
laugh coyly and refuse to take it back.
He may throw it on the ground, but that
would be rude.
Suppose that he accepts the inevitable
and decides to leave tho flower in his but
tonhole. He puts his hand into his pocket
and says to the flower girl, "How muchp'
sob, whata you please"
She knows her business. If he gives
her SO confines or more, he knows that
she will regard him an easy victim Of her
extortion, whereas if he gives her only two
or three small coppers she will say, 'Eet
ees not much" and politely revile him.
The unprotected man has little chance
against the large md determined flower
girl.-Chicago Record.

S~weetwater Dam.

What is known as the Sweetwater dam,
California, presents some special points i'll
masonry of moro than passing interest. 1t
is about IS feet high, 8 feet wide on top
and less tina 40 feet at the bottom. AL
though built Of good rubble laid in port
and cement mortar, the tremendous pres
sure of water against it's back was regard
ed as not without peril, and that it has
stood this pressure for years is attributed
to the fact that tho dam is curved in plan,
and its length of 1876 feet is laid III
what like the quadrant Of a circle, convex
toward the reservoir. The masonry of the
dam is firmly bedded in the solid rocky
sides and bottom of the ravine, the struc-
ture thus acting as an arch. To this arch
action is believed to be due the resistance
of the dam to the water pressure, though
many, engineers are Of the opinion that if
water were ever to rise above the crest and
overflow the structure it would be utterly
destroyed in a short time. When the dam
was built, the wasteway was designed to
carry off more food water than there were
any indications Of having flowed through
the ravine, but in time a weeks enormous
rainfall filled the reservoir to the brim and
Overt1owed the top nine inches. The ire
meDdous energy Of this volume of water
secured out the rocky bottom of the ravine
below the dam to a depth Of several feet,
badly eroding the sides Of the canyon.
The conduit leading from the dam was
twisted out Of place, though imbedded in
the concrete, but the dam suffered no in
jury.-New York Sun.

Equal to the Emergency.

Being equal to an emergency helps one
out of plights into which the best of us
sometimes fall.
I heard of al actor who came so belated
to the theater one evening when he was to
play Othello, in the tragedy of that name,
that he forgot to blacken his hands and
rushed on the stage with them white and
his face sooty.
OF course the audience giggled, and poor
Othello, when he realized the cause of the
mirth, was almost unable to proceed with
his part, and SO deeply mortified that
when he made his exit after his first scene
he declared he could not finish the per-
formance, but a happy thought struck him.
He procured a pair of flesh colored
gloves, blackened his hands, put the gloves
on and walked quietly on again.
There was quite a little tittering as tho
Moor went on with his lines, but it entire
~ subsidized as during a speech of one of
the other characters, the dusky lover care
lessly drew off his gloves, disclosing hands
to match his face.
Then those whose risibles had been af-
fected felt small and awkward.-Polly
Pry In New York Recorder.

Ducks That Hated Water.

Many things are said to be as natural
as ducks taking to water. But a CORE
spondent tells Of ducks that actually hated
water. There were three Of them, and they
had lived some years in Manchester, where
they had a small basin and their daily
bath. Their owner finally took them to
the country to live beside a fine lake,
thinking it the ideal place for the amphib-
1ans. What was his surprise, on putting
them into the lake, to see them instantly
scramble out and waddle Indian file to a
neighboring stable, whence they never
came out except to feed.
Never could they be induced to remain
in the water save by force or fear, and
when there they always kept close togeth-
81, SO IS to occupy no more space than
their bath basin in Manchester. They
were thoroughly afraid Of the lake, and
they never became used to it.
In Picardy it seems that young ducks
are often kept from the water in order to
protect them from water rats and prevent
them from eating things that might in
jure their flavor when they appear upon
the table. Ducks thus brought up until
their full growth of feathers is acquired
refuse to enter the water, and if forced in
sometimes drown. After all, what does in
stinct amount to?-Pearson's Weekly.

Barney's Maxims.

Barney Barnato is full of homely max
inns, most of which he started with in life.
One of them Is. Never let a man put his
hand on you without giving him what
for, ! and always have the first hit An
other is: "You have nc right to spoil an
other mans game as long as he plays 1t
cleverly. He will expose himself soon
enough when he ceases to be clever at it,
Yet two more: Never play the game
above the peoples heads, but as they think
they understand it. You have a bit in.
hand every time, then and ALWAYS
wind up with a good curtain and bring it
down before the public gets tired or has
had time to find you OUT"
