Two of the numerous candidates for
assistant secretary of the navy, both of
whom served in the navy and are strong

In credentials of all three Of the gen
tlemen appointed to the senate by the
governors of Kentucky, Oregon and
Florida, are now in Washington, but
that is about as near seat in the SEN
ate as any of these presenting them
will get. The reasons for not seating
the republicans from Kentucky and
Oregon, are SO weighty that no serious
attempt will be made to upset them.
The democratic appointee of the COVER
nor of Florida is thought to have a
valid claim to a seat, but before it could
be established the Florida Legislature
will probably have elected a senator;
consequently it is not probable that the
attempt will be made.

What IS PAINE'S CELERY COMPOUND?

Paine's celery compound is the one
remedy that can be trusted to make a
person well.
1t stops the drain on the nervous
system; dispels harmful humors from
the blood, and increases its volume and
its nourishing capacity.
Its ability to relieve those ailments
that seem to be peculiarly the misfor-
tune of women is overwhelmingly PROV
ed by the many testimonials from wo-
men of the highest standing in the
communities where they live.
Its regulating power does away with

Representative Baily, of Texas, had
the honor of receiving the democratic
nomination for speaker of the house,
and every democrat who was present at
the meeting of the house Monday voted
for him. Mr.. Reed was, of course,
elected, but the present house has re-
publican majority of about 100 less
than the last house. There was more
or less talk about an attempt being
made at the republican caucus, to cur
tail the power of the speaker, but when
the time came for action, the nerve was
lacking, and Mr.. Reed will dictate the
business of this house just as he did
that of the last. The democratic nomi-
nation for speaker was equivalent to an
election of the democratic leader in the
house, and Mr.. Bailey will be SO recog-
nized during the fifty-ffth congress.
He is comparatively young man for SO
responsible o position, but during his
service in the house his natural ability
has forced him to the front and no
doubts are entertained Of his making a
good leader and adding to the reputa-
ton he already has.

If the new tariff bill is what its franz
ers call conservative" measure, it
be decidedly interesting to know what
they would call radical. Although the
country denounced and from power the
republican party because of the high
duties imposed by the Mckinley tariff
law, the average rates Of duty to be
imposed by the new tariff bill have been
made higher than the Mckinley bill.
And about the heaviest taxation carried
by the new bill is that imposed upon
such necessities as sugar and clothing.
There may not be such plain sailing
ahead Of this measure as Mr. Mckinley
and his personal worshippers expect,
1t will, Of course. be railroaded through
the house all right but that it will be
materially amended before it gets
through the senate is very probable.

Telephones In Bed.

One Of the most ingenious applica-
lions Of the telephone is the portable
form, which is known as the portable
hospital telephone Its particular use
is to enable people in a sickroom in
which all infectious disease is being
nursed to communicative with the peo-
pie in the rest of the house
In hospitals this simple adaptation of
the telephone to the requirements of the
situation will be found invaluable, but
an even greater field for it's utility will
be the private house.
The irksolneness Of having some of
the Infectious diseases in mild form is
multiplied tenfold by the enforced Sc
clusion of the patient, who is suddenly
cut off from intercourse with the rest
Of the family. Now, by the mere adj
dition of this little instrument to the
furniture OF the apartment, it is posi-
BILE for sick person to keep up con-
versation with any member Of the rest
Of the family, and in this way the te-
dunn which is inseparable from the
compulsory isolation may be relieved.
Furthermore, the nurse will by it's
means be saved good many journeys,
even in noninfectious cases, for she can
ask for things to be brought to her at
odd times which in the ordinary
course she would have to go for, or at
least ring bell and have some one
come to the door to ask what she re-
quired. Pearson Weekly.

The First Cabs.

Like the buses, cabs were introduced
from Paris, but some ten years earlier,
or, say, about 1920. Although it's type
was not at all settled, the cabrioIet was
little, hoodshaped vehicle, quite above
its axle, and therefore very high and
difficult to get into. It was only intend
ed to carry one passenger, though two
slim ones who did not mind squeezing
could generally manage to find room.
The driver sat on little shelf or perch
on the right hand side, quite outside
the body of the machine. This was an
English innovation. In Paris driver and
fare shared the same seat, and this was
continued here for private cabriclets.
The ingenious Mr.. Joseph Hanson,
who was an architect of Hinckley,
l. icestershire, however, bethought him
in 1884 that if he used larger wheels and
suspended the body Of the cab between
them, the vehicle would hold two east
u, or three at a pinch, would balance
better, be easier to draw, and safer if
the horse fell. Further improved by
putting the driver behind and the axle
under the seat, the invention soon made
its way, and by the ffties the hanson
was as much the favorite cab of London
as az it is today. The original patent is
dated Dec. 23, 1884 - Gentleman s
Magazine.

How the Buds Are Prepared For tho Uses

How the Buds Are Prepared For tho Uses
of Commerce.
TIE Glove tree is native of the Mo-
lucca islands and belongs to the far
spread family of myrtles. It is tall,
oblong leaves and purplish flowers, ar
ranged in corymbs on short jointed
stalks. The flowers are produced in
great profusion, and when they appear,
which is at the beginning Of the rainy
season, they are in the form of elongat-
ed, greenish buds. These unexpanded
buds are the cloves Of commerce, which
derive their name from the Spanish
word clavo "a nail, so called from
the real or fancied resemblance Of the
bud to Il nail.
Sometimes the Glove fruit appears in
commerce III Il dried state, under the
name Of mother cloves. 1t has an
much weaker
The flower buds are beaten from the
tree and are dried by the smoke OF wood
fires and afterward by the sun. If the
buds remain on the trees, the calices
gradually swell, the embryo seeds en-
large and the pungent properties of the
cloves are to a great degree dissipatcd.
Cloves consist OF two parts, a round
head, which is, III fact, the flower rolled
up, inclosing a number of small fla
ments, and the four points that sur
round the flower and form the flower
cup Of the unripe seed vessel. When
they are soaked for short time in hot
water, the flowers soft~n and readily
unroll, so that all of the parts may be
seen
The entire Glove tree is highly aro-
matte, and the foot stalks of the leaves
have nearly the same pungent quality
as the calyx of the flower -Philadel-
