FTEN questions are asked as to the
u necessity Of presenting the same bill
In the House aud the Senate. An
advantage in time Is often secured, though
the same bill must be passed by each
branch II won't do to pass the House
bin in the House aud the Senate bill in
the Senate.
Last session a pension bill passed the
House and the Senate about the same
time. They got lost In passing each other.
The clerks In each branch thought every
thing was all right. The interested party
hunted out the bin. or he would never
have drawn his pension. Such thing
happens ouly once In a decade.

the other day by an old-tiner of a
little tilt he had with Senator ingalls,. 1t

just finished a regular SEQ ding match. in
which he had taken Mr.. Allison to task for
keeping the Senate there.
Mr. Allison arose. looked ut ingalls, for a

ATTRACTIVE WOMEN.

Why is one woman attractive and
another not? The most admirable and
attractive thing about an attractive
woman is her womanliness. Everybody
admires a womanly woman. She must
have health, Of course. because without
1t she would lose the brightness of her
eyes, the fullness of her cheeks, and
her vivacity. Real health must mean
that a woman is really a woman. That
she is strong and perfect in a sexual
way as well as in every other. That
she is capable of performing perfectly
the duties of maternity. Some are born
with what Is called constitutional
weakness" Some VINO do not enjoy
perfect health, need only take the prop
