Der Of representatives was in an uproar.
Paper boards. pasteboard boxes, books and

members broke up the tops of their desks
and with pieces pounded the remnants.
While all this was going on. Charles E.

the undigniied conduct of a couple of
members who had put on their hats. Votes

nobody but the speaker and the clerk knew

knowing them by title.
The senate was equally disorderly. and

Washington, June SIS it a hard job TO
be secretary of the treasury?
In a chat with Mr.. John Sherman just be-
fore he became secretary of state l asked
him this question. Senator Sherman re-
piled that he found the work of the treas
ury no harder for him than that of the
United States senate. and that the matters
with which he had to deal in the treasury
were those with which he had been
throughout his life familiar. I asked Sec
rotary Gage the same question to-day, and
he gave me substantially the same answer.
Still, the treasury is the biggest department
of our government. Its secretary has to
handle millions. He has more than 1900
men in his employ. and the vast amounts
of money for which he is responsible sur
pass the widest dreams of Aladdin or the

TIE RICHEST PRINCE.
A Little Story From the Records of tho
 Middle Ages.

Middle Ages.
 The richest prince is not always he that reigns over the most extensive and popu- lous empire, with the largest and the most pfosperous cities, and the Lest filled treas ure house.
 : Back in the 1niddlo ages there reigned a prince, called Eberhard the Good, who was a grand old man, just, wise and true, and his little principality was tho envied cor ner of Europe, for though ho was only a grand duke, he ruled so justly and well that his subjects were happy, and they all loved him us father.
 There was feast one day at the city of Worms, and all the German princes were drinking wine at the banquet table, when dispute arose as to which of them was the richest and most prosperous.
 Prince Ernest of Saxony boasted of broad domains, brimming with gold and silver mines, and his great palace filled with golden treasure.
 n am richer than he, said the Elector Frederick of the Rhine "From my grand castle at Heidelberg can look over leagues and leagues of hillsides covered with vine: yards and valleys rich with golden grain fields.
 King Louis of Bavaria claimed the palm of sovereignty "because, " he said, "pros- porous cities and rich old cloisters, filled with works of art, are greater treasures than gold or silver mines, vineyards or ripened grainhelds." !"
 Then they all looked at the old lord of Wurttemberg, whose hair and beard were white as the snow on Alpine peaks, and whose blue eyes were shining with smile.
 1T haye little to boast of, " he said meek ly. "There are but few cities in Wurttem- berg, and no silver mines, no famous vine yards, and no great store of treasure and precious stones. But own one rare jewel II can wander anywhere in my dominions without fear and lay my old head in peace- ful sluInber in the cot of my humblest sub ject.''
 Ut is enough" they cried in chorus "We yield the palm to thee, for there are no richer treasures than peoples love and loyalty"
 Duke Eberhard was one of the great heroes of the feudal times. His little coun- try of Wurttemberg was one of the most prosperous in Europe, and the proudest kings counted him their equal. When he was laid in his grave, the Emperor Maxi milan of Germany declared:
 Hero lies prince who has left no equal in the German empire in princely virtues "
 Nor has time been able to blot out his fair name, and though half thousand years have passed away, dividing the liv- ing from the dead, it is always pleasant and refreshing when we look back upon those times to find the name of him they called the richest prince.-Exchange

A Cat Story.

A Toronto writer youches for the truth of cat story which ought to interest stu: dents of psychology, hypnotism, metem- psychosis and telepathy at least. The cat, so gaunt that protuberances of its skeleton pierced its skin, appeared strangely at the home of a man and his wife who detested the cat family The i'll favored creature was in such state, however, that they de- cided to give it one meal. They did so and then in vain strove to drive it away. It staid and ate rayenously, stealing food even between meals, but continued lean. Finally the couple decided that after giv- ing it the choicest meal conceivable for catdom, the man should seize it and dash it's brains out against the garden wall. He gave it it's breakfast of dainties. The cat fingered over the feast contemplatively and anon looked up at its master who was watching it. When tho plate had been licked clean, he stopped to take up the cat, but it struck viciously with its paw at his hand, scratching it all the way across the back, and, bounding away, leaped over the wall and diappeared forever.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Tho Doctor Saved Himself, but Afterward
 Lost the Girl.

4uO DOStoE sss1s6o AatHtSoAAy Oub <AAtoAHstru Lost the Girl.
 "I was poor and without influence when entered on the practice of my profession, said the doctor, ''bpt full of vim and in @ section of Indiana where an ability to look wise while administering quinine or calo- mel was pretty much all that was neces- sary.
 1.-The only person in the rough con- munity that l found at all congenial was the pretty little teacher of the district school, and, being as bashful as I was big, did most of my courting in my mind while casting sheep's eyes at her when oe- portunity offered. The object holding sec- ond place in my affections was handsome three-quarter bred mare that I guarded with unccasing vigilance, for there never was bolder gang of horse thieves than was then operating in all that section of tho state. One midnight messenger came galloping to my door with an urgent call for my services ten miles away. It was . rough night the road was an unfre- quented one through desolate country, and tho man who came for me looked like prairie bandit. But business is business, especially with 0 struggling young doctor.
 "More from desire to escape his con- pany than to hasten to my patient I ran away from the messenger and gave the mare her head as she flew through the darkness. Three miles out, as l reached the ford of creek, was hailed by voice that recognized as tho teachers. Just as she began a hurried warning gruff order to throw mp my hands came from the other side of the narrow stream. As she screamed to me to fly I graspod her under either arm and swung her to tho seat behind me. As tho gallant mare sprang away with her double burden there was yolley of oaths and bullets from the rear, but I had swerYed from the beaten road to avoid meeting the messenger, and this in the darkness saved us. As the shots were re- peated the girls arms were clasped about my neck and her body shielded me. Then thought of nothing but that she loved me. We escaped. The next morning the teacher was gone, and I've never been able to find her rsince."-Dctroit Free Press
