USE OF FAIRY STORIES.

But the fairy stories are so beautiful
and give such delight, would you take
them away and allow the children no
fairy godmother? Let me ask: why
should the child turn towards this
myth in order to lavish It's affection
upon It? Is not it's own mother in
greater need? Are there not countless
duties and attentions and courtesies

"FOr five weeks l lived on cold wa ter. so to speak, writes a man who suffered terribly from indigestion.
 He could hardly keep anything on his stomach. What stayed, wash [ properly digested and gave him ter rible bangs.
 This is not an uncommon case. Dyspeptics don't get enough nourish- ment. They are generally thin and weak.
 They may eat enough but they don't digest enough. Much of what they eat turns into poison. If this keeps on there's no telling what dis ease they may get next.
 That's why it is best to take Shak- CT Digestive Cordial. as soon as symptoms of indigestion appear.
 It cures all the evils of indigestion, and prevents the evils which indiges- tiOn causes.

THE LIE FA.
Aud a Fisticuff Was Narrowly AVerted-Excitement h.
 tense.
MEMBERS

WASHINGTON, April 14-During the discussion in the House yester- day afternoon of the majority and minority reports of the committee on foreign affairs a bitter and acri- monious exchange of words took place between Mr. Bartlett (Dem. Ga) and Mr. Brumm, (Rep., Pal Representative Richardson of Tenn, was denying an alleged agreement with the Republicans, when Mr. Bartlett said the chair was support ing the protests of the Democrats against the taunting words which were coming from the other side.
 Suddenly in his rear in the next tier of seats came in stentorian tones from Mir. Brumm a taunt ad- dressed generally to the Democratic side: You got just what you did not waat, he shouted.
 That is not true, cried out Mr. Bartlett, who, it was explained sub- sequently, was addressing his re- marks to Republican on the other side.
 T say it is, retorted Mr. Brumm hotly.
 It is not, aared back Mr. Bart lett, turning and facing Mr. Brumm.
 You are 8 liar, responded Mir. Brumm.
 The lie had passed. Instantly Mr. Bartlett reached for large bound copy of the Congressional Record in the desk before him and raising it aloft, hurled it at his ad- versary. It feel short and then the two antagonists rushed for each other. The house was in an uproar. Some of the ladies in the galleries screamed hystericallY. Members crowded toward the combatants from all quarters. They ran across the area in front of the speakers and crowded up the adjoining aisles, elinching, tugging, hauling at each other like madmen. It was like a free fight in the street. Shouts of anger and indignation were heard on every hand. Members in the crush espoused the cause of the two original combatants, and there were several exciting collisions, but no blows were struck. Meantime Mir. Bartlett and Mr Brumm were try ing to get at each other over the benches, but they were borne back by friends. MT. Bartlett, who is a slight man, was carried off his feet and Mr. Miers, Of Indiana, stall wart, broad-shouldered Hoosier, blocked the path of Mr Brumm, who is himself evidently a man of great physical vlgor. In his efforts to stop Mr. Brumm, MT Miers be- came involved with Mr. Pierce, of Missouri, and they almost came to blows.
 All this time the gavel of the speaker was heard, and his voice was commanding the sergent at arms to restore order. Armed with a silver mace, the emblem of the au thority of the House, Col Russell, the sergeant-at-arms repeatedly charged the thick mass ofstruggling members, but was as often swept aside. One of the other employees, Griffin Halstead, a son of Murat Halstead, while attempting to paci- fy MT. Brumm, was felled by blow on the jaw. At last by the efforts of dozen muscular mem mbers, the belligerants were separated, the angry legislators retired to their seats and a semblance of order re- stored. It was one of the most dis graceful scenes ever witnessed in the House in many years
