ufacturers or millionaires. No cards of
admission are required to the gentle
mems gallery" or the ladies gallery"
as the signs over the doors read; but
cards are required of those who would
enter either OF the galleries reserved bor
representatives and senators.
The southeast gallery of the house of
representatives faces tho entire mem-
bership on the hoor. The congressman
have but TO lift their eyes above the
dead level OF their desks, and their
thoughts above the dead level of dreary
legislation, to behold vision of love-
liness, and they often do lift both their
ewes and thoughts. Even before the
hour for the meeting of the house, the
fair habitues OF this gallery come trip
ping through the corridors, singly and
in pairs and ride up in the elevator with
the assembling statesmen, and then take
their places in the gallery, smiling
down ON the most attractive branch OF
this great government. The women
who have business with the statesmen,
or maize any pretense OF having bust
ness with them, keep to the lower cor
ridors or sit in the corner in statuary
hall, which has been set aside and fur
nished as a waiting Those who
go to the gallery are there for entertain
ment or Instruction.
They are usually there for entertain
ment, aud many a serious Irritation has
- oVirla in The OeaI-
leries and the representatives on the
floor. Several years ago congress
man from California exchanged glaaees,
smiles and Signals with a gallery god
dess, and finally he went TO the gal
lery, seated himself by the girl, was
welcomed and became the most ardent,
attentive and affectionate OF lovers.
Just before the close of he session of
congress the statesman received a card
from the brother of the lady and
lively meeting was held in the speakers
lobby. The brother gave the congress-
man "a hours to marry the girl, under
threat of death. The entrapped con-
gresham left town that night, declined
a denomination. retired to private life
and has never since been in Washing

Strangers in Washington study the
statesmen in the SENATE and house of
representatives. They like to hear
speeches and argimentative dialogues.
The capitol guides sit beside visitors in
the galleries and tell them the names of
the statesmen who arc speaking.
Newspaper men and others who are
daily at the capitol have more pleasure
in studying the people in the galleries
than in hcro-worshiping the statesmen
on the floor of either house of congress.
II is strange THAT women, who are not
supposed to know much about politics
or statecraft, should come in such mum
bers TO the capitol on all occasions.
Writers who delight in sarcasm, quips
and jests, rather than IN accurate pol-
| trayals, have said that women in Wash
ingtou are attracted more by the brass
buttons OF the young officers OF the
army AMI navy t.Mn by anything else
masculine ia this city. There is an ele-
mcnt of truth iii the assertion, but our
ladies have some higher ambitions than
the slurripg statement would Indicate.
Senators and members of the house of
representative come in for large
share of tho attention OF the fair sex.
Three-fourths OF the audiences of con-
gress are made up of women and Often
there are few others i'm the galleries.
Except few strangers and n section of
the colcred population. who find the
Public galleries comfortable as n sleep
ing place, few men listen to the proceed
ings of the house ard senate. For some
reason the senate, while not entirely
neglected, is not as popular with the
gallery goddesses as is the house. 1t
may be because the senators are older
and less gallant, though there is surely
gallantry enough in that decorous body
of sages. But in the house there are
great many young men, and few OF
the youngest and handsomest are un-
married. This may account for the
preference that is shown that branch %
congress. There are always women in
the galleries known as the speakers
gallery" and the members gallery"
though often there is not a man to be
seen anywhere above the floor OF the
house.
During the very cold weather many
unemployed colored men go to the cap
itol, take seats in the warm galleries,
and, having NO appreciation of the
forensic discussions, go to sleep and
sometimes spore so that the watchuen
or door-keepers awaken and eject them.
But despite their Indulgence and bathless

How many young men and women
are cut off just as the future seems
brightest and fullest of promise!
They are taken way by the disease
which causes over one sixth of all the
deaths in the world the disease
which doctors call consumption,
There is absolutely no reason in the
world why consumption should be
fatal why it should be even serious.
1t is disease of the blood, and can
be cured absolutely and always by
purifying and enrching the blood.
The only exception to this is the
case where the disease has been neg
lected and improperly treated until
it is stronger than the body-until
the body has become so weak as to
have lost the ability to recuperate.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry will cure SO per cent. of all cases
of consumption if used according to
directions. 1t also cures all lingering

An deliberately illustrated article,
"Tennyson and His Friends at
Freshwater," by V. G. Scott O'Con-
nor, appears in the December Cen
fury. The author says of the poet:
Willingly, he took no part in the
destruction of life. His sympathy
with nature led him to mourn over
the cutting down of trees, as if they
were, like the grove in Dante's "In-
ferno," the abode of his personal
friends, and he never would con-
sent to his flowers at Farringford
being plucked. 81 can very well re-
member the look on his face" Miss
Weld, his niece, tells me, "when he
met me one day, returning from
his meadows with wheelbarrow
full of fading daffodils plucked by
me with the lavish hand of child.
He gazed at them very sorrowfully
and in gentle words expressed his
regret that go much beautiful life
had been needlessly sacrificed. :"

Herb Folklore.

The following piece of herb folk
lore was told to me many years ago
by a North Lincolnshire lady: On
the night our blessed Lord was born
the stable of the nativity was litter
ed with bracken and what we now
call the yellow lady's bedstraw.
Before this time both these plants
had produced in the summer time
insignificant little white flowers, but
then it was the depth of winter, and
they were fowerless.
When the first cry of the divine
infant was heard, the bedstraw
burst into bloom in honor of the
birth of the Saviour of the world,
but the bracken made no sign of
reverence; SO it has come to pass
that the bracken has ever since been
deprived of the power of producing
any blossoms whatever, while the
bedstraw has been endowed with
long sprays of golden forets. Notes
and Queries.
