CRITICISM OF THE RULES.
Mr. Walker Of Massachusetts. offered
a resolution providing for u committee
of seven members to revise the rules.
w. A. stone. of Pennsylvania, at this
time made a motion 20 adjourn. This,
amid some confusion, was voted down,
and Mr.. Walker was permitted to pro-
ceed with his remarks. He criticised
the rules ana maintained that an Inn
preston existed that they did not per
init that freedom of debate which the
house desired.
Mir. Mdhany, OF New York, followed
in a few remarks, in which he asserted
that the gag law" which was - prom
inent in the IINth congress did not die
in that congress, but had been re-enact-
ed here: that it was the usual trick
Of self-Constituted leaders temporarily

the chairman of the caucus to call a

members in writing.

How to Cut Him ont and How to Fast

Here is something for the boys and
girls TO make some rainy day when the
grass is too wet 10 play outdoors. IL
will please you. for every child we ever
knew liked to cut out papers, The de-
scription Of this little Chinaman we
found in a little publication called
New Ideas for Woman's Wear"
You will need, in the first place, sew
eral sheets Of pinwheel paper, Of diff
ferent colors. large size that comes
at four cents a sheet, n spool Of black
thread, some tissue paper and cotton
batting. \ few toothpieks OF wood or
burnt matches are also needed TO give
extra strength TO the head and neck.
Take the paper and fold double and
cut out the shirt like illustration No.
The diamond drill. (Crystal Falls, Iron County, Mich.) 1887-1996, 1897-08-21

PENNSYLVANIA boasts of n wonderful
blind pig. II was born blind, and at the
tender age OF three months was sold to
a neighboring farmer, who took 10
home In his wagon. The road was not
only crooked, but was cut by several
crossroads. and II passed through n
village with a dozen cross-streets, the
entire distance being two miles beyond
the village. The pig was turned into
small lot, and the third day afterward
the little blind fellow war back with his
former owner. There was no other way
for the pig TO return home than by
following the road over which he WA
carried in the box. Still. as dumb an
finals perform these feats by instinct
blind pig would be on an equal foot
ing with any other.

THE PAPER CHINAMAN.

I In the diagram, folding II on the shoul-
ders. Then, preferably of a different
color paper, cut out the legs and feet
double like Nos. 3 and and II desired
black the feet with ink.
The hands should be cut out like No.
8 and if hat is wanted No. . is the
pattern, folding il on the dotted lines.
To make the head, take piece OF the
tissue paper (uncolored), and in the
center place a piece of the cotton and
n toothpick. Fold down all the sides OF
the paper TO keep the face smooth and
about the shape in the picture of the
finished Chinaman.
Take long piece of the thread, double
IL several times. divide in three and
braid IL, tying the end with single
piece. Insert the end Of the pigtail in
the fold at the back of the head and
fasten there with glue or mucilage.
TO put the Chinaman together, slip the
shirt over the head and glue 20 il, put
the hands in the sleeves and glue in
place, paste together each folded leg
ond foot and insert the upper edge OF
each beneath the ends of the shirt and
fasten these with glue. Glue the hat
over the top of the head.
Draw two slanting eyes, nose and
mouth and curved line for the chin with
pen and ink or black crayon and tho
| face is done.
II Is best TO fasten together all the
edges OF the shirt with mucilage. Red
blue, yellow, green, brown and all col
ored papers may be used, and gold anC
silver paper also. The buttons dowr
the front here arc marked with pen
but little round pieces of another col

quarters.
"When we were picking up or put

was around among us like old times.
and every one OF the gang had a kind
word for him. lie was cut bit about
the back with glass, so the captain
says: Throw him In the wagon, boys,
and wen take him back 10 the house
and mend him up. i'll put him on pro-

then he adds: But YOU fellows viii

Run After HIS Engine.

Kun AFTER his Ahsthes
st. Nicholas has been publishing
series Of articles about the fire depart
ment of New York, written by Charles
It. Hill, the artist. In late issue Mr..
Hill tells about Peter Spots'-Fire-
man." dog that belongs TO one of the
engine companies. The dog once fell
into disgrace by playfully swapping at
the heads OF the horses when they were
running 10 a fire and causing them To
balk. So he was given to baker who
lived far from the engine house. Mr..
Hill gives the following account, in tho
language Of one Of the firemen, OF the
manner in which peter Spots" came
back 10 the company;
"We had almost forgotten about
Peter. and got used TO not having him
around, when one day third alarm
came in that took us out; and in get
ting to the station ] had 20 drive
through the street the bakers place
was on. i never thought OF il myself,
but on my word, Peter hadn't forgot
ten us; and when we made our appear
ance he showed up pretty quick. The
baker told me all about il afterward,
and this was the way il happened:
Peter was lying asleep beside the stove
in the center OF the bake shop, when al
