1t is getting to be quite tho fashion in
this country, just as it is abroad to ap-
point the young sons of rich men to tho

of our legations and embassies abroad. I
asked ono of our new foreign ministers
why this was so, and he paused to explain

Rainbows For ti.o Stage.

a most novel and ingenious method
OF adding the representation of IL rain
bow to stage realism has recently been
discovered, the effect which is produced
being as beautiful as the means employ
ed arc simple. The apparatus consists of
an ordinary box having semicircular
opening i'll front to give the shape Of "A
rainbow, within which arc two candle
iaDra prlsms, mounted OH supports, so
that they can be revolvcd by means of
handles fixed outside. To work the an
paratus strong light is projected
through the prisms and through the
opening, across which strips of wire are
fixed i'll order to break up the rays. and
thence on to back drop scene. When
the prisms are turned III opposite diroc-
tons. it is asserted that the most beau
tiful and vivid color effects are produced.

a Bold, Bad Senator.

In this connection there is good story
on Senator Burrows, which no ono enjoys
better than the senator from Michigan him
self. AT the recent Republican senatorial
caucus one of Mr.. Burrows friends, and
he has rs many of them rs any man L
know, suggested us Il reason why Mr.. Bur
rows should so upon the finance committee
was that no had rs II member of the lower
house served on the ways and means COM
mittcc and helped frame the Mckinley
tariff bill
We'll, F" said one bold, bad senator, "if
Mr.. Burrows has sat in tho lower house
and served upon the ways and means com
mittco no ought by this tmo to under
stand the constitutional provision which
requires revenue bills to originate in the
house of representatives.
This was twitting on facts, for not long
ago Mr.. Burrows in an abscntmindcd mo-
mcnt actually introduced u tariff bill in
the senate. All tho other senators arc iok-
ing Mr.. Burrows about his tariff bill.
Scarcely u day passes that President Nc
kinley does not have as guest Mt luncheon
or dinner ono or moro of his old friends
from Canton. The Canton people who
como To Washington are very proud of
their townsmcn, the president, and they
are also very proud that he does not forget
his old ncighbors now that he has become
the chief magistrate. "That is tho sort of
n president To have, said ono of them To
me. why, Major Mckinley is just tho
same man he always was. Ho treats IFS
just us he used to when ho was n congress
man, or oven when he was our prosecuting
attorney He is the greatest man you ever
saw to remember all the old folks and all
the children, and all the relations at home,
and no always wants to know how they
arc getting on. You can't help liking Il
man like that. Around tho White House

Dizziness at the National Capt.
tai.
CONGRESSIONAL WORK DRAGS.

The Session VIII Probably Extend Until
Their Townsman-Nhy Rich Men Get
Ohicc-Cost of Entertaining.
WASHINGTON, April 23-[Spccial Tho
national capital is dcgcnerating into "a
dizziness that is almost like thar of mid
summer. With tho house i'm short session
only two days week, the senate droning
along without very much doing and Pres
ident Mckinley going provokingly slow in
tho matter of appointments 10 Office, things
arc becoming quito monotonous. After n
time they will be much livclicr. The tariff
bill will be up in tho senate, and there
Will bc some sharp debating In few
days Senator Morgan promises To call up
his resolution for the recognition of tho
independence of Cuba, and this is sure to
stir up the animals. Then there is pros
pect that after Il bit Speaker Reed will
conclude to appoint the committees of tho
house and permit that body TO go to work
to some extent, though ut II very lcisurcly
pace. Every one in Washington ut all ia
miiar with the situation is making pre-
parations TO stay hero till August.
Trouble over the Rates.
The senate finance committee is making
lalr progress III its revision of tho Dinglcy
Dill. While there arc n great many amend
mcnts am told they arc not of great i'm
portance. Tho difficulty in putting rates
up or down [ have already explained in
this correspondence. There arc too many
interests well represented here, too many
influential men fighting one another tn
secure much of II movement one way OF
the other as 10 those things which enter
into the lifo of trade The senate commit
tee likes. however, to have it said that it has
rcmodclcd the bill. 1t likes tho sound OF
"l5O senate amendments" so that writers;
for the press can dilatc upon tho manner
in which tho upper branch has taken tho
house bill and turned it inside out. Tho
number of amendments counts for II good
doal in the minds of ordinary observers
irrespective of their actual Importance
The senate amendments will be very nu-
mcrous Many of them, however, arc mere
matters of language and others are trivial.
There has been quito "a competition for
places upon tho finance committee of tho
senate. Mr.. Hanna and Mr.. Burrows of
the west and Mr.. Plat and Mr.. Sowcll of
the cast have been ambitious for place up
on this important committee, without
doubt the most important and influential
in tho senate. Quite n good deal of feeling
has been worked up between the rivals.
especially Platt of New York and Hanna,
though it has all been good humorcd.
