Music In Politics.

It is suspected that Mr. Hanna brought
Charles Gates Dawes of Evanston to Wash
ington with him to add an aesthetic fea-
ture to the combination and assist in re.
lieving him from the pressure to which he
is subjected by office seekers and their con-
gressional friends. AS everybody in Evan
ston and some of the outlying wards Of
Chicago knows, Mr.. Dawes is a most ac-
complished musician and performs upon
the pianoforte with grace and skill sur
passed by only few such men as Pader-
ewski, Rosenthal, Rubinstein and the Abbe
Liszt. There is no piano in Mr.. Hanna's
apartments, but there is an excellent one
in the parlors near by. When Mr.. Dawes
is invited by those who knows his skill, he
cheerfully complies, and no sooner do the
notes begin to fall from his accomplished
fingers than Mr.. Hanna's rooms are emp
tied of politicians, who throng around Mr..
Dawes and listen breathlessly as long as he
continues to play. BY this simple and po
lite maneuyer Mr. Hanna is relieved of q
great deal of annoyance and is allowed tc
select the men ho wants to see, while Mr.
Dawes plays so sweetly that the Others for

more effective in charming the birds ant

Heroic Treatment.

They had been married less than
year when she noticed that her husband
staid out late at nights, and when he
did come home was apt to be noisy and
demonstrative. On his part, William
observed that he could never find a
knife to cut bite to eat, and that even
the family shears were out Of reach,
while his razors at such times were
locked up and the key hidden.
He did not say much because he was
not in condition to talk, and when he
was sober he did not care to refer to tho
past.
But he grew worse instead of better,
and one night he went home at late
hour and found the hall brilliantly
lighted, and on table under the gas an
assortment Of all the cutlery in the
house. Knives, scissors and razors allur-
ingly open met his unsteady gaze.
"M-m-mary, he called. "w-w-what
does t-this m-mean"
"It MEANS" she answered from the
top of the staircase, ''that ever since
you've been cutting up in this manner
I've been afraid you would do as you
threatened to do--kill yourself with
some of those things"
"Y-y-es, Mary"
"Now I'm beginning to be more
afraid that you won't, so thought I'd
give you every possible chance"

words, and William has remained att

ALarxe Currant.

Although no American garden in the
northern half of our continent is consider
cd complete without some ourrant bushes,
1T is rare we hear tell OF them growing any
where to the perfection that they do in
England, although it is quite possible that
they may successfully contend for the palm
Of superiority In Canada. The currant does
not like long spells of warm, dry weather.
Under these circumstances the leaves be-
come prey to a parasitic fungus, and we
all know that injury to leaves is the first
step toward deterioration. At meeting
of the Royal horticultural society in Eng
land the red currant called the Comet was
exhibited in which the bunohes were O.
inches long and some of the berries half an
inch in diameter. With these figures we
may be able to decide how near Amerioani
ourrant gtowers can come to this excellence
of their English brethren. - Meehan's

There is certain nursery in this city
where the poem with the ever recurring

as familiar as Mother Goose itself. All the

dergarten days are thing of the past,

Just as she reached the middle of the room
she tripped, fell and the entire set" went

What Make. Irun Rust.

The old idea that iron rusted or oxidated
by uniting with the oxygen of water and
setting free the hydrogen is now exploded.
In the first place, it has been noticed that
iron will not rust in dry air or chemically
pure water Thus, for instance, in Are
quipa, in southern Peru, not only will iron
not rust in the open air, but rusty iron
brought up from the coast will become
clear again. 1t now seems certain that
carbonio acid Is necessary to the rusting of
iron, the reaction seeming to be as follows:
First, ferrous carbonate is formed This
Is dissolved in the slightly acidulated wa
ter and becomes ferrous bicarbonate. This
in turn decomposes in presence of air into
magnetic oxide, and this last makes with
the water the hydrated ferric oxide or red
dish brown powder, which is known as
iron rust Electricity, again, seems to
have something to do with 1t. If, of two
metals soldered together, one be electro
positive to the other, the oxidation or rust
ing will be slower in the positive and more
rapid in the negative.-San Francisco

suit the Lake County Transportation
company, in the United States court,
libeled the cargo of the steamer Poly
nesia, consisting of 22 900 bushels Of
corn, for 81. $50. The Corrigan Transit
company libeled the cargo of the
steamer italia. consisting of $4,000
bushels of corn. for $3.50. In both
cases the companies claim the amounts
are due for undue retention Of the
