A QUORUM OF CONGRESS.
Much Business Is Transncted WithOu
Full representation.

Much business Is Tranancted Without
Full Representation.
A majority of each house, under the
constitution, constitutes quorum for
the transaction of business. If a quorum
is not present, and the fact is disclosed
by yea and nay vote, business must
stop until a quorum is secured. But the
members present are empowered by the
constitution to adjourn from day to
day and "to compel the attendance alb
sent members, in such manner and un-
der such penalties as each house may
provide" A great deal of business is
done in both the senate and house
when quorum is not present, the alb
sence of quorum not being officially
disclosed by roll call. The sergeant
alarms is not an infrequent attendant
at social receptions and dinners, but al
ways an unwelcome one when he comes
to demand the attendance of truant SEN
ators or members upon their respective
houses. One-fifth of the members pres
ent may demand a vote by yeas and
nays, and the vote must be recorded in
the journal which each house is re-
quired to keep of its proceedings. This
journal does not include the debates,
which are, however, published in full
daily in the Congressional Record"
The senators and members are priv
iieged from arrest, except for treason,
felony or breach of peace, while in at
tendance upon their respective houses.
and while going to and returning from
the meetings of congress. A member
may be punished by the house to which
lie belongs for disorderly behavior, and
by a two-thirds vote of the house may be
expelled.-Gen. Harrison, in Ladies'
4ome Journal.

Tack. All the Raee.

Tuci<s are all the rage. surely, since
they appear in thin gowns, silk gowns,
and all other materials which can possi-
bly, be used for the spring and summer
wardrobe, except perhaps cheviot and
serge, and they are in all widths and
in all forms, both crosswise and up and
dcwn.-Chicago Tribune.

A Strong Story.

A farmer from Hebron says that dur
ing the Thanksgiving day blizzard he
missed three sheep. The other day he
found them under q huge snow drift.
Two were dead and one alive. The
live one had eaten the grass all around
for several feet, had eaten the wool off
the backs of its dead companions. and
was fairly frislSy. Its breath had worn
"a chimney through the top of the drift,
down which it got all the air it needed.

Melville, attempted the life of bache-
lor neighbor by placing strychnine

Tho famous Braithwaite steamboat
case, which has been in the district
and supreme courts of the state and ma
ton many years. has been settled by
the payment to Braithwaite by the de-
PENDANTS of S12,0 In 1881 the steam
er Eclipse was seized by creditors of
Braithwa,te, and while under seizure
was wrecked and sunk. Braithwaite,
who was the owner and master,
brought suit against the bondsmen of
the persons who had seized the boat,
and the case has been fought from one
court to another ever since. Time and
again decisions were rendered and ap-
pealed on various grounds, but Braith-
waite has won in nearly every instance.

Handling the American Plague.

From the New York Press.
To put 1t mildly. the spirit in which n
part of the medical profession and the
lay press have received the new regula-
tioEs of the health board as to consump-
ton is distinctly atavistic. 1t evinces the
pious disposition of our very far-off ances-
tors which accepted all diseases. especially
infectious disease as 4 visitation of Provi-
dence and limited human agency in its
control to making the patient comforta-
ble.'
We have yet TO see in any of the nu-
merous and generally mistaken criticisms
of the boards not at all arbitrary action
a due realization of the duties imposed
upon all sanitary authorities by the science
of modern medicine in its acceptance of
the germ theory of disease. Given a tuber-
culosis bacillus, it is the duty of the board
of health TO guard against its ravages by
every means in its power. And what are
its rayaSes? 1t carried off 5,I52 New York
ers last year. Such a proportion of deaths
from diseases which have come in the pop
ular estimation to be considered infectious
or contaSious-such as cholera, smallpox
typhus, yellow or even scarlet fever-would
give the city an insanitary reputation such
as would empty 1t of all whose residence
was not compulsory. Six thousand deaths.
nearly, and $500 endemic cases of n germ
disease! Why. there have been only some
thing over S000 deaths of the other germ
disease, the bubonic plague, since it began
to rage in Bombay. But we blame con-
sumption to the climate. So we can the
plague. And the Indian plague takes off
the riff-raff. The American plague takes
the best. This is not matter of statistics.
but let any one run down the list of his
dead and see how many bright men and
women have succumbed to this scourge of
the Atlantic coast.
The board of health does not propose to
drag invalids from their homes or quaran-
tine their houses. 1t means merely to lead
the way toward a closer supervision of the
disease and the better control of its treat
ment. In this 1t should be upheld. 1t is
attacking one of the greatest disease prob
lens of the age in manner which will
win the applause of science and the graft
tude of humanity.
