WooDLAwN FARMERS CLUB.

The club held its July meeting &C
cording TO adjournment at the resi-
dence OF E E. Mason, President A w.
Harrison In the chair.
The minutes of the last meeting were
read and approved, sf.er correcting the
error that appeared 10 saying 'extracts
were read from Senator Cameron's
speech" 1t should have been Senator
Cannon's speech.
The president called the attention of
the club 10 the fact that at the next meet
Jog an election of officers, will be held
tor the ensuing year, and as said meet
ing usually takes place as picnic on
invitation, motion was made and car
ried that it be held on the grounds Of
Stacy III. SnowdeD, near the Potomac
shore. A large number of invited
guesns peing present, and Prof. Oils T.
Mason being one of them, he was intro
duoed, and obligingly gave us very
interesting word picture OF the mauy
different stages of progress that trans
portation" bss passed through since the
days when woman acted as the princi-
pal beast OF burden to the days of steam
and electricity. To those who have
ever heard Prot. Mason it is unneces-
sary to say that the occasion was one
OF keen enjoyment to bis audience. A
vote of thanks was rendered him for the
entertainment given US.
An extract was also read on the sub
ject of transportation from Leslle's

The Chicago Records postal saw
ings bank bill was introduced in the
house of representatives on the open
ing day of the congressional session
by Representative Lorimer, the Chi
cago member of the house committee
on postoffices and postroads. The
bill was referred at once to the post
office committee, according to the
usual custom. It was introduced in
the senate day or two later by Sen
ator Mason, who is member of the
senate postoffice committee. 1t is
upon these committees that attention
must center for the present of those
interested in the passage of a law for
the ablishment of postal savings
bank system. The earnest agitation
among the people has forced upon all
the members of congress considera-
ton of this subject, with result that
it is discussed in Washington to an
extent that it never has been before.
The chairman of the house commit
teeis an opponet of the postal bank
idea, but other leading members are
friendly to the plan. The first and,
indeed, the srverest test of strength,
therefore, must come in the postof-
flee committee. If a postal savings
bank bill is reported favorably by
that committee and brought to vote
in the house, there can be but little
doubt of the outcome on the floor.
Fortunately, as the result of popular
agitation, and because of the agrees
i've spirit which the friends of the
measure in congress are manifesting,
the subject is one that cannot be ig
nored or pigeonholed. Never before
has the number of members actively
in the success of this pro
ject been SO great.
Sentiment in favor of postal saw
ings banks seem to be even stronger
in the senate than among the mem
bers of the house. 1t is expected that
a bill will be reported from the senate
committee without great difficulty,
with the chances good for it's passage
through the senate.
The more that members Of congress
and especially of the postoffice com
can be made to feel individ-
ually the deep interest of the public
in this matter, the more likely will
they be to take early action looking
to the establishment of the postal
savings bank system Chicago Rec

This is what happens to the man be-
hind the hat, says the Chicago Observer:
The preacher disappears until nothing
remains but a voice And with the hat
standing up against the. spotWhere the
voice is, and the mcdulated sentences
breaking against it, how is attention
to be fixed upon the sermon? The
mind grows lax, the quiet and sweetness
of the sanctuary tend to distraction, the
hat fills the whole visible universe, and
involuntarily ones thoughts center,
upon it.. e.. .<>--r AZ
It is a. wonderful con struction. There
is a yellow rose trembling on a long
stem with every movement Of the wear
er's. head and one begins to calculate
the extent of it's arc. There. are punches
CT feathers, disposed, apparently with a
view to preventing anything from be-
ing seen between them whichever way
the hat is turned. And there are stall
actites of ribbon, upright and immov-
able, which still further obscure. the
horizon.
Occasionally one gets a nomen tary
glimpse Of the head Of the preacher as
it is stretched out in gesticuIation, but
it seems a.mere detached fragmentu use

himself has disappeared as if he had

All Of the Work Is Done by Handsome
of 1T is Beautiful. &$%E "a
There are two jewelers. in Chinatown,
but their establishments do not re-
semble the ordinary places known as
jewelry shops. says the New York
Times. The Chinese jeweler is q man
ufacturer as well as a shopkceper. His
establishment is a tiny room up one
or4two flights Of stairs. The room in
one place is divided by an, openWorls
iron partition, with an arch and a coun-
ter near the. window, where the jewelel
stands at work. He is an elderly China
man, wearing glasses, and he works
oyer a tiny fire in the window. All his
work is done by hand, and some Of it is
beautiful. There are heavy silver
bracelets which open with a hinge
and fasten with an odd little staple.
The fine raised pattern is cut out, every
made in the same way. There are fine
rings, made of 524-carat gold. Almost
nothing is kept in stock. There may
chance to be a few rings and bracelets,
which are taken from a small safe.
Most Of the goods are made to order.
When the manufacturer is asked the
price Of a ring he weighs it before he,
answers. His scales consist of a slen-
der stick Of ivory, perhaps al third Of. a
yard long, covered with Chinese char
acters. At one end is a small brass plate
suspended from the stick by fine
threads and a very small weight, also
hanging by asthread, is moved alongto
the. balancing point by the jeWe1er, as
lie holds the little machine in his hand.
The front part ofsthe little shop is filled
with a stove, table, dislipan, dishes
as many things as can well be crowded
into it. &&i Iss -ys*z
