DEATH oFseNAToK HARRIS.


1ennessee Ststesusaa Dies in His Resadencs
1t the National Capitol.
Washington, July 9.-Senator Isham
@. Harris, Of Tennessee, died at his
residence here a few minutes before 3
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. The sena-
for several days past, the intense heat
which has prevailed greatly debilitating
him and no doubthasteningh his end. There
and no doubt Fastening his end There
were times when he would rally slight
ly, which gave his family hopes that
he would be able to regain strength
sufficient to be removed from the city,
but his vitality had become too much
exhausted to Withstand the strain. In the
morning the senator revived somewhat
but only temporarily. During the aft
ernoon he sank rapidly and passed
away peaceably.
Senator Harris was born in Tennessee
in February, 1918. admitted to the bar
in 1S4f, and elected to congress first in
1S49, since which time he has been
prominent nationally, having been a
prominent figure in the southern re-
beliion. He had been elected to the senate
four times. He was last in the senate
chamber about ten days ago, but hewas
unable to stay for any length of time
and had to be taken home in a carriage
During the past six months the senator
had been able to attend to his duties
only at intervals, having been away
from the city several times endeavorins
to recuperate. He will be buried at

Second.-The lymph, which lows
through an automatic valve when it in
serts its proboecis, contains . modified
germ Of the malarial fever, and, accord
ing to the well settled law Of inocula-
ton, the introduction of the weak germ
renders harmless subsequent attack By
the strong germ.
Third. The mosquito never swallows
human blood. 1t cannot. The fact that
its body becomes discolored and swells
while probing is caused by the discolora-
tion Of the lymph in contact with the
blood and the muscular effort Of insert
ing the probe.
Fourth.-A mosquito will never In
sert its lancet in a person not suscepti-
BILE to an attack Of malaria. In this re-
spect its sense 10 more accurate than the
most skilled and experienced patholo-
gist. This also proves not only its un-
erring instinct, but that it never wounds
unnecessarily. Its thrusts are those of q
skilled and human surgeon and even
more unselfish, for hope Of a fee never
Quickens him, nor does the malediction
Of his patient deter him in the fulfill
ment of his duty.
Remember, then, that the presence Of
a mosquito is an infallible eign that
malaria is in the air and that you are
exposed to it, and when you hear that
we'll known but solemn note Of warn
ing do not treat him as q foe, but as q
friend. -Bostan Transcript.

Rose Hawthorne Lathrop, in memo
ries of Hawthorne" gives this descrip-
ton Of Hawthorne's study:
II have hung on his walls the two
Lake Como and the Loeb Lomond pic
lures, all Of which I painted expressly
for him, and the little mahogany center
table stands under the astral lamp, COW
cred with a crimson cloth. The antique
center table broke down one day be-
meath my dear husbands arms, with a
mighty sound, astonishing me in my
studio below the study. He has mended
1t. On one Of the secretaries stands the
lovely Ceres and opposite it Margaret
Fuller's bronze vase. In the afternoon,
when the sun fills the room and lights
up the pictures, it is beautiful. Yet
still more, perhaps, in the evening,
when the astral enacts the sun, and
pours shine upon all the objects and
shows beneath the noblest head in
Cbristendom, in the ancient chair with
its sculptured back "a chair said to
have come over in the Mayflower and
owned by the Hawthorne family, and
whenever look up two stars beneath a
brow Of serene white radiate love and
sympathy upon me. Can You think Of a
happier life, with its rich intellectual
feasts! That downy bloom of happiness
which unfaithful and ienoble poets have
persisted in declaring always vanished
at the touch and wear Of life is delicate
and fresh as ever, and must remain SO
If we remain unprofane. The sacred
ness. the loftiness, the ethereal delicacy
Of such soul as my husbands will
keep heaven about us. My thought does
not yet compass him."

on the executive mansion. The lowest
bid made was found to be s31, 1870, by

reason that they exceeded the amount
of the appropriation, and directed the
architect to make certain changes in the
plans and specifications so that the en-
tire cost Of the work, including inciden-
