The collection and sale Of Government pub
LEGATIONS ut the close Of every session Of Congress
has grown TO be q business of considerable
magnitude, with large profits for those engaged
in it. Considering that these publications are
to such of their constituents as yearn for the
character of information furnished by the Gov
eminent, this statement may be considered
strange. It is nevertheless true, and nearly
every book or pamphlet issued by the Govern
ment can be purchased in Washington from the
men who deal in this form of literature. They
are obtained by the dealers from the Congress
men themselves or from some clerk friend
to whom they have been presented. Every
Congress authorizes the publication of thou
sands of volumes. most OF which arc of no more
use to the average member of the House than
SO many blocks of wood would be. As long,
however, as the members of the House vote
themselves books for which they have no pos
sible use it is likely to continue. The only
manner of remedying the evil would seem to
be to have all publications intended for dstri-
button among the people handled by the Ex-
ecutve Departments that prepare them, The
special report issued by the Department of Ag-
riculture upon horses, which has become known
as The Horse Book among members of Com
gress command high price in the book mar
ket. 1t has been sold for s. volume in the
bookstores of Chicago and other cities.

There have boon rumors a1oat to the effect
that serious splits are likely to occur in the
Republican ranks over the occupant of the
next Speakers chair and that Mr.. Reed will
meet with fierce opposition in the House. So
far. however. there is really no tangible reason
for the report. During the last two weeks Of
Congress there were hundreds of new members
il the city, aud the general sentiment among
them was that Mr.. Reed would be chosen Speak

Take list like this Every suggestion in it
is in the line of true economy, and no one is
difficult to carry out. Women will acknowl-
edge their value and interest by reading them
over, and yet many housekeepers will never
think of applying them to lessen her work and
expense.
Raisins are difficult to seed unless they be
allowed to stand in hot water for 10 minutes
before trying to prepare them.
A piece of gum camphor put in with the sill
yer will help to keep it from furnishing and
will lessen the number of polishings necessary
to keep the ware bright.
The peculiar quality possessed by charcoal
of absorbing odors and gases renders it
great help to housekeepers who try to keep
things sweet aud clean. A lump of it in the
refrigerator will keep the air fresh. The char
coal must be replaced once or twice week. A
bit of charcoal in the water in which cabbage
is boiling will help TO restrain the mighty
odors produced by that vegetable in the process
of cooking.
Hot water will usually take stains out Of

The pupils are very much attached 10 the
teachers and are always ready to listen
TO them. They are under as good disci-
pine ordinarily as any pupils IN the city.
But when, by the direction Of Superin-

Finally one of the teachers returned. and
In fifteen minutes order was restored and

into Friday night about u o'clock and
considerably over $40 worth of dry goods
carried away. The burglars entered by
cutting out one OF the lower panels of the
back door. George Shields and Council
man Seth Chandler, on their way home
from the school entertainment, stepped
behind the store TO look for dog and
discovered two men leaving the building
with their arms full of dry goods of all
kinds. The burglars ran, one down Shil-
shole avenue and the other toward the
water front, with Shields and Chandler in
pursuit Both, however. escaped, leaving
the goods, which were found Saturday
morning in different places near the water
front, along the course they ran the pre-
vious night.
