WASHINGTON, i. C, JAN 10, 1885,, :.
Help US modify theeivll servicegsss<,
or we will join hands with the desao-
Gratis and repeal the entire law Ihat,
in effect, is the notes that the lapnd-
red-odd republican members of the
House who favor modification of tnis
law have served uponthe other req bib
liean members of the House during
the debate, which IS not yet crtr.
There has been muah plain tails en
the subject, and there will be more.
q sample is the following, from the
speech of Representative Hepburn, of \
Iowa: SIN some things the old system,
at its worst, was superior to the-new.
My colleagues in this House kncw the
qualification of their constituents,
and in the selection of candidates. for
Office have everything at STAKE
believe there is greater probability
of probity in action, wisdom in, selec-
ton, and beneficence in results in the
old system than in this dagkened,
subterranean, irresponsible method
we have fallen into in this latter
time" Representative Clark, Of New
Hampshire, said that he favored
modification of the law andwas will
ing TO leave it TO the wisdom of the

committee is now considering the-Dil.-
introduced last week, Which confines
the operation of the service law to
positions paying $500 to 81, 800 year,
inclusive and to localities where the
employees exceed twenty-five in num-
Der.
The treaty for the annexation of
Hawaii was to-day taken up by the
Senate, and the intention is to hold
daily executive sessions for its c0nsid-
Grafton until it is disposed Of The
policy of the friends of annexation is
to allow its opponents to do most of
the talking, so as to get the debate
over as soon as possible, in order that
there may be no excuse for DELAYING
a vote. It is now the general belief
that the treaty will be ratified, owing
to the announcement of the number
of Senators who We're in doubt of
their intention to vote for ratifca-
ton.
The last European nation to take
place in the line of applicants for
reciprocity treaty with the United
States is Germany, the country which
made bluff when the Dingley tariff
bill was pending that was promptly
called by Congress and President Nc
kinley. The clause of the tariff that
brought Germany's pride down to
asking for reciprocity is that which
imposes additional duty upon sugar
brought from countries that pay an
export bounty on sugar. When the
German ambassador requested that
reciprocity negotiations be opened he
was informed that his government
must take the first step by agreeing
to remove the restrictions now i'm
posed upon American cattle and beef
imported into Germany.
The administration is doing every
thing possible to expedite the send

the President and all the members of

MOST REMARKABLE LAKE.

A Strange Black Fluid That Bears No Re,
semblancs to Water.
The most remarkable body Of water
in the world lies in the vicinity OF the
Colorado river. in Southern California.
In this region Of ugly volcanoes, deso-
late wastes and Shiny swamps, the
strangest phenomenon Of all is what
the naturalists call lake Of ink" No
other description fits so we'll.
The strange, black fluid that forms
the lake bears NO resemblance to wa
ter.
The pool Of ink 10 situated about halt
q mile from volcano. 1t Is about an
acre in area. The surface Is coated
with gray ashes from the volcanoes to
the thickness of about six inches, thus
concealing it's real nature.
Experiment has proved that the
black fluid Of the lake is not poisonous.
It acts as dye, and cotton goods soak
ed in 1t keep their color for months,
even when exposed to the sun. They
also acquire stiffness similar to that
produced by weak starch. The fluid has
been analysed, but its component parts
have not been made known. AS to the
source of the supply Of the lake, moth
ing definite has been ascertained. 1t
is undoubtedly Of volcanic origin, but
nothing more definite is known.
This is a bad land that has never
been traversed. Human beings have
tried it, but they never return to tell
of their experience Of their discoveries.

A Good Definition.

To confuse a witness is generally an
easy task and lawyers know no easier
way than to make witness explain
the meaning Of his words, knowing
that very few people can do SO with
out getting excited. Occasionally. a
victim resents nagging and answers
in a spirited and unexpected manner.
A lawyer was Cross examining .
young girl of rather naughty temper.
She had testified that she had seen
the defendant shy" book at the
plaintiff, and the lawyer had seized
on the word.
"Shy-shy a book? What do you
mean by that? viii you explain to
the court what the word shy
means?"
The girl leaned over the desk be-
meath the witness box, picked up a
law book and threw 1t at the lawyers
head, who lodged just In time.
II think the court now understands
the meaning Of the word shy" said
the Judge, gravely, and the girl was
allowed to finish her testimony with

Hero II One Man Who Had About tho
Right Ideas.
The helpfulness Of good man,
when 1t comes to assistance in donles-
tic affairs, is apt to be very much
like that of Mr.. Barker. whose ex-
plot is narrated below
His wife had asked him to hang
picture she had purchased for the
parlor, and he had said that he would
do it "in a jiffy."
"You just get me the cord and a
picture hook" he said to his wife,
land tell the servant girl to run down
cellar and bring up the stepladder
and carry it into the parlor; and
where's those two little screw thing
a-ma-jigs that 60 into the back Of the
frame at the sides to put the cord
through? Look them up for me; and
I'll need the gimlet to bore little
hole for the screws. Somebody get
the gimlet or maybe l can drive them
in with the hammer. Johnny, you
run down cellar and get the hammer.
II don't know but chair will be
better than the stepladder for me to
stand on. Somebody 60 out into the
kitchen and get me a chair. / don't
want to stand on one Of the parlor
chairs.
Got that cord? Just measure of
about the right length and fasten 1t
in those little things at the side.
There, now, there's your picture,
all hung up in good shape, and no
fuss about it. The difference between
us men and you women is that when
we have anything to do we 60 right
ahead and do it, and make no talk
about it."-Youth's Companion.

The reason that 1t Is necessary to be
well covered while sleeping Is that
when the body lies down it is the in
tention Of nature that 1t should rest,
and the heart especially should be re-
lieved OF its regular work temporarily.
So that organ makes ten strokes min
ute less than when the body Is In an
upright posture. This means 600
stokes in sixty minutes Therefore, In
the eight hours that man usually
spends in taking hts nights rest, the
heart is saved nearly five thousand
strokes. AS it pumps six ounces Of
blood with each stroke, 1t lifts 10000
ounces less of blood in this nights ses-
sion than 1t would during the day,
when a man is usually in an upright
position. Now, the body is dependent
for Its warmth on the vigor Of the CIR
culation, and as the blood flows so
much more slowly through the veins
when one is lying down, the warmth
lost in the reduced circulation must be
supplied by extra coverings.-"Even-
