How TO TRAIN A HUsBAND.-This
is how Bluffkins was at last the vic
tim: His wife was standing in the
door of the parlor and there was q
look about the woman's eye which
indicated that she had asked her hus-
band for the last time to do what she
wanted. 1t was not an angry look.
1t was merely an expression which
showed that ordinary means had failed
and she must try fnesse. Bluff kins,
who was sitting in the easy chair,
looked over the top of his paper as she
stood there.
"I'm going after that loaf of bread
you spoke of in a few minutes now" J"
he said, apologetically.
"I'm not going to make any more
requests" she answered.
But he did not hear her. His face
was again buried in the newspaper.
Presently she came rushing up the
stairs and exclaimed:
"One of the neighbors saw patrol
wagon 60 up the street at gallop and
turn the corner toward the grocery.
There must have been fight or some
thing" ,
Without a word Bluff kins grabbed
his hat and in an instant was going
down the street at a rate which made
two baby carriages turn out for fear OF
a collision. As his wife gazed after
him she saw him going around the
corner so fast that the centrifugal
force threw him over on one side.
In five or ten minutes be came back.
He handed her bundle and reached
for his paper. "Here's that bread.
AS long as was so near the grocery l
thought I would get it and stop your
freezing. But I didn't see any dis
turbance."
care you talking about the patrol
wagon and the crowd?" she asked
innocently.
"Of course I am"
"Why, that all happened day before
Yesterday. But I'm ever so glad you
got the bread, dear"

people think their behavior is growing
worse, but it is not so. Such collisions
as occasionally take place have always
taken place, from the time when Girls
void and Lyon encountered each Other
on the floor down to our day. They
all happen in the same way; men gel
heated mentally, and sometimes ply
sically; then they are bad tempered
they forget where they are, and make
spectacles of themselves.
One of the worst scenes l ever saw
in the house was only the elimination
on hot day in July of the bad tenn
per of the hot months. A hundred
degrees in the shade is the boiling
point of men.
Perhaps there never was a house
that so lived on the edge of volcano
as did the house of the Forty fifth con
gress. Everybody was angry with
everybody else. This was the congress
after President Hayes was elected
when everybody thought everybody
else had been cheating, and nobody
could strike because in striking he
must deliver his blow not only at his
enemies, but at those with whom his
reason taught him he had to act in the
future. Yet in that case there were
no rows, because everybody felt thai
we could not have one without being
too big one.
1t seems rather a misfortune that
the nation has so little idea of what
really goes on in congress-. There are
no regular reports in any of our pa
pers which enable even student tc
acquire knowledge of what goes or
from day to day. Even member
home for week can hardly make ou'
what has happened. In London you

The appearance of the house of rep

very much in its favor. 1t seems and
is tumultuous and disorderly collec'
ton of men, except on those rare oc
casions when great debate eliminates
in the speeches of the foremost men
Then docorous silence reigns. The
galleries cease whispering, and the
members sit intent in their seats.
1t would be impossible that this
should be so every day. Three hun
dred and fifty men with 100 more o.
clerks, ex-members and others, with
noisy galleries above them, could moi
possibly keep still. For much of the
bad order, however, the physical con
ditions are responsible.
The hall of the house is simply
huge. The galleries alone can seal
l 800 people. Less than 100 specta
tors are or can be admitted to the gal
lery of the house of commons.
In the house of representatives il
takes voice as well as intellect to be
heard, that we should in this way lose
the impressiveness of the vast hall
and it is an inspiring spectacle on the
great days when silence reigns. But
for everyday effect congress in suita
BILE hall would be much more pleasant
