"NoT WORTH A STRAw."-Perhaps
a straw is not as worthless as you
think. Let us see. Straws are the
stems of wheat, rye, oats and barley.
In order to wave to and fro in the
wind, and yet bear up the heads OF
grain, they must be both light and
strong. Let us see how lightness is
secured. They are made hollow, you
see, like quills; and yet not hollow
through the whole length, TO. every
now and then we find a knob or joint,
which helps to brace up the sides and
make them strong. The straw outside
is hard and looks shiny, as if it had
been polished. 1t polished, and that
keeps the weather and the insects from
it, besides adding to its strength.
Polish but where does it get polish ?
God gave these plants the power OF
drawing up through their roots this
gummy sort of varnish from the earth.
1t is flint. There is nothing like it on
the stem of sweet pea or the currant
bush, because they do not need it..
But does it not show Gods wisdom
and knowledge in giving this power to
one plant where it is reeded, withhold
ing it from others where it is not? So
YOU see that straw even can show
the wonderful power Of our Creator,
God, and speak His praise.

LITTLE Observation-Disclosures was
was the first state admitted to the
Union and is the one to which Ran
dolph, of Roanoke, referred contempt
uously as having two counties at high
tide and three at low tide. 1t is still
governed by antiquated colonial ma
chinery. The senate of its Legislature
consists of nine members only. Della
ware is one of the states which has no
lieutenant governor, and therefore
from out of these nine members one is
chosen as presiding officer, and the
other eight are the law-making body.
The state is divided into three coun-
ties-New Castle, which includes the
city of Wilmington Kent, which in
cludes the capital city of Dover, and
Sussex, the rustic southern county.
New Castle has several thousand
more voters than Kent and Sussex
combined, but the basis of representa-
ton in the Dover senate is the same
for all three-three members from each
county, and on any public question,
therefore, in the senate, a minority OF
the people can by two-thirds major
ity outvote the majority. The city OF
Wilmington casts about one-third of
the total vote of the state, but it has
only one representative in the senate.
The house of representatives consists
of 81 members chosen without refer
ence to population, seven from each
county.

HENRY CLAY's GREAT yALEDICTORY.

John F. Coyle writes of Henry Clay's
farewell to the senate in the Septem-
ber Ladies' Home Journal, regarding
it as the most dramatic event ever
witnessed in the United States senate.
Almost from the opening words of the
famous valedictory the vast assem-
bIage of people were in tears, and the
"Great Commoner" was frequently in
terrupted by the sobs of his auditors.
"The scene was indeed impressive as
Mr.. Clay pronounced the concluding
words of his farewell to public life" !"
says Mr.. Coyle. "He stood for a mo-
ment after in reverential attitude,
while all about him strong men, sway
ed by the magnetic power of the great
orator, wept in silence. The hushed
suspense of intense feeling and atten-
ton pervaded the crowded assemblage
as the famous statesman, with lower.
ing eyes, resumed his seat. For sew
eral moments the silence was un.
broken senators sat as if in the shadow
of some impending calamity; men of
all parties seem equally overcome by
the pathos and majesty Of the great
statesman's farewell.
"As Mr.. Clay rose to leave the
chamber after adjournment, which di-
rectly followed his address, and after
he had said farewell to the other sena-
tors, he encountered Mr.. Calhoun.
The eyes of the whole assemblage were
fixed on these two old friends and old
political antagonists. There was q
pause in the demonstration which
awaited Mr.. Clay-the moment of sus-
pended anticipation was almost pain
full. For five years they had been es-
tranged, and the only words which
had passed between them had been
those harshly spoken in debate. But
now as, they met, the old time came
over them. They remembered only
the political companionship of 20 years
standing. The intervening differences
which had chilled their hearts toward
each other were forgotten. The tears
sprang to their eyes. They shook each
other cordially by the hand, inter-
changed God bless you,' and parted.
The released suspense which awaited
this fearful scene found vent in shouts
and cheers, which were taken up by
the crowds outside the senate cham
ber, expecting Mr.. Clay's appearance.
He was surrounded by the waiting
thousands on his way to his carriage,
and throngs followed him even to his
hotel"

FREE MEDICAL ADvICE.-A good
story has been told by family doctor
regarding a little ruse adopted by one
of his patients who wished to save the
expense of consulting him.
The patient was a woman of good
means, but of frugal disposition. One
day she began to feel some alarm re-
garding her health, and, wishing to
avoid costly procedure, made an ap-
plication to life insurance company
for a policy of large amount-.so large,
indeed, that they delegated three med
ical men to make an exhaustive exam
ination of her before they could accept
her as a risk.
In due time she was informed that
her life had been accepted. She was
thus in a position to assume that she
was quite we'll, whereupon she replied
to the company that she had changed
her mind, and did not intend to take
out a policy just then.-Pearson's
Weekly.

amusing the baby by allowing him to
look out of the car window when on a
railway journey. "Watching the
whirling objects will produce dizzi-
ness, which is very liable to bring
about brain fever, she says. "The diz-
illness is created, not so much by the
constant effort of changing the focus
of his vision, by readjusting the auxil-
iary muscles of the optic nerves, as by
the quick succession of these impress
sions of the vision upon his brain." "
The fretfulness and nervous irritability

"WHAT ARE WE HERE FOR? pr

"WHAT ARE WE HERE FoRW-
Some two or three years ago a party
of anglers, including a minister as one
of their number, were fishing in the
North Woods, and when Sunday came
the question arose whether the party
other than the minister should not re-
frain from fishing, out of respect to his
feelings.
One of the party, however, made
bold to ask him whether he thought
that it was wicked to fish on Sunday,
and he declined to express any opinion,
on the ground that he was there as
an angler and not by virtue of his call
ing, and that every person must act
according to the dictates of his own
conscience. He referred, however, to
the following incident which had oc-
Cured not long before within his per-
sonal knowledge.
A man and woman called at the
house of minister for the purpose OF
being married. After going through
the preliminary part of the service, the
minister asked the usual question, "Do
you, John, take this woman to be your
lawful welded wife ?" This was met
by the rejoiner, "What in thunder do
you suppose 1 came here for ?"
The party other than the minister
went fishing, while he remained at
home with ample opportunity for rest
and meditation.

HARD CIDER APPLE.-A fashiona-
BILE society girl married a man who
lived in country town, and as she
really loved her husband she wanted
to do all she could to please him. One
day she told him she was going to
make some nice homemade cider for
him, and when he came home she had
about two bushels of little hard ap-
pies piled up in the kitchen.
"Why, Maud !" he exclaimed, when
he saw them, "what have you got
there?"
"Apples, darling" she replied with
a smiling face.
"Where did you get them ?"
"Bought them, of course, love-"
"But what did you get such hard
ones for ?"
"Didn't you say you wanted to make
some-home cider?" she asked with the
trace of culver in her voice.
ayes, my dear; but these are not
good cider apples"
"Why-why," she hesitated, "you
said you liked hard cider, and OF
course had to have hard apples, to
make it with didn't I?"
The husband kissed the wife and
never said word. Young husbands
are not like old ones.

WORTH SEEING.--A pleasant and
unusual street scene in Philadelphia is
sketched by The Record. A tandem
pair of cyclers with only one pair OF
arms and legs between them was the
sight which greeted Broad street prom
enaders yesterday. The two men rode
a fine tandem wheel of the latest mod.
el, and whizzed along Broad street as
smoothly and gracefully as you please.
The man in front had but one hand
to steer with but that was good right
one, and his left leg seemed to bring
plenty of power to bear upon the
pedal. The other mans right arm
and left leg were missing but the re-
naming limbs supplied his needs. =!
though between them they only had
the number oflimbs which the average
cycler upon single wheel requires to
keep him going, they beat many stur-
dy rivals who triei to keep up with
them.

NOT FROM HEAvEN.-Thirty years
ago q steamer which was about to
make its first passage from one south
ern city to another was the scene OF
an evening reception, at which CALI
ope played an important part.
1t was the first instrument OF the
sort which had ever been heard in
that region, and as its peculiar, far
reaching notes Aoated out on the even
ing air, the breasts of large part OF
the colored population were filled with
alarm. Many were the conjectures as
to the source from which the unearth-
ly sound proceeded.
One old darky stood listening in ST.
lence for sometime in his doorway, not
far from the scene of the festivities.
At last he spoke in encouraging tones
to the frightened group gathered near
the little house.
