SHE WANTED FLOWERS.
But the Congressman Had to Draw
the Line Somewhere and She
Didn't Get Them.

n certain southern congressman was
heard entertaining a company of his
colleagues lately in the democratic
cloakroom of the house with an ac-
count of an unusual experience, says
the Washington Post. During the
woman suffrage conYention,' he said,
several ladies from my district were
present. Early in the convention one
of them came to the capitol, called at
interview, which was readily granted.
She stated that the woman suffrage
delegates were to have some sort of
public meeting, in which she was to
participate, and requested that
should provide floral tribute to be
presented to her on that occasion.

LIZARDS WHICH WALK ERECT,
Widely Separated Members of This
Curious Little Family Have
Same Habit.

When drawing attention about a year
ago to the bipedal movements of GER
tain Australian lizards, notably the
comical little chlamydosaurus, Or
''frilled lizard" whose photograph is
now familiar, Mr.. Saville-Kent referred
to an unconfrmed rumor that the
Mexican iguanoid lizard also possesses
the power Of running on its hind legs,
being led to this by the correspondence
in general structure of the creatures,
especially the abnormal length of the
hind limbs. He publishes a letter from
a gentleman living in the West Indies,
which shows that there also all the
lizards, from the large tree guana, five
feet long, down to the tiniest mites
which scamper about among the stones,
are accustomed to run erect on their
hind legs when hurried, says Nature.
The correspondent adds the interest
ing information that on the rocks about
the watershed of the Guiana are old
drawings of lizards running erect. Mr..
Saville-Kent points out that this pc
culiarity, which year ago was doubted
by many naturalists, but which has
now been shown to be common, de-
serves attention as pointing to bipedal
4ocomotlon IN some remote ancestor.

A WET COUNTRY.
The Difficulties of Railway TraYe
in Ceylon-=A Trains NarroW
Escape.

Therailroad which, with its branches,
connects Colombo, the capital of Cey-
lon, with the interior of the island, is
remarkable for the engineering skill
shown in its construction, and for it's
prosperity. 1t makes an ascent of $500
feet by succession of loops and curves,
with here and there q tunnel. The
chief difficulty in running the railroad
is due to the way in which the rain
comes down, A recent book of travel,
"a Run Round the Empire" describes
what the rain did to 2 train crawling
up the mQuntainside.
On December 81, 1896, 11Hs inches of
rain fell in "a hours. The engineer Of
q train saw that beyond q certain tun-
mel the line was washed away. He
stopped the train, and the passengers
got out. One of them, seeing stones
rolling down the mountainside above
them, advised the engineer to push for
the tunnel.
just as the train entered the tunnel
down came huge mass of rock, which
carried away tho embankment, as we'll
as the last ear of the train==a goods
van, fortunately. Close behind the tun-
mel the ends of the rail were hanging
free over a precipice, and similar con-
dition existed not far ahead.
a messenger came down from plant
er's bungalow above the tunnel TO say
that water was accumulating in the
cutting in front, and that if it broke
through the debris which served as a
dam, it would wash the train out of the
tunnel. The passengers fastened to
leave the cars, and in walking through
the water in the cutting found it up to
their breasts.-Youth's Companion.

EFFECT OF WEATHER ON FISH.
Why Trout Rise McrriIy fin the Midst
of q Storm and Sulk when the
Water Is Quiet.

If trout rise merrily in the very
midst of a storm. why do they invaria-
bly, sulk when the thunder is only lin
the air?" The explanation is simple,
but it occurred to ne only the other
day, says the LQndon Review. Trout
sulk when he storm isgathering from
: the cause which makes men at the club
decline to look al the billiard cues dur
ing the same weather. The atmosphere
lacks oxygen, and therefore all SEN
tient life is languid. When the light
ming has come the sqltripess is dis
PEELED; fish and men have something
more cheering than carbonic acid gas
TO breathe; both are in hHmor for
food or play.
The same reasoning, 7 think, eX-
plains why, as q rule, it is necessary
10 have q ripple if you are to catch
trout. The accepted explanation is
that the ripple conceals the casting
line, leaving visible to the fish the flies
alone, but one has only to use one's
eyes to discover that that is no ex-
planation at all. Eyen in q gale, if
there is 70 sunshine, the gut is as easi-
ly visible TO the human eye as it would
be in a dead calm, and to what the hui
man eye can see in the water the trout
is surely not quite blind. No; trout
rise in q ripple more rapidly than in q
calm simply because the wind is oxy-
genating the water. Whose doubts
this is invited to make an experiment.
Let him put half dozen live trlnt into
a pail Gf water. Within an hour they
will be sickening; some of them will be
near death and turning on their backs.
A few quarts of water plunged yard
or two through the air into the pail
will make all the trout revive as if by
magic. The fish want oxygen just as
the fellows at the club on sultry aft
ernoon want thunderstorm or other

siIIenary of the Sausage.

They have just celebrated in Ger
many curious millennium, that of the
sausage, which, in effect, dates back to
the year S97. 1t has been asserted that
the Greeks in the days of Homer manu-
factured sausages. But this prehistoric
mixture had nothing in common with
our modern product. The ancient So
called sausage was composed of the
same materials which enter into the
makeup of the bondin of the French
market and the blood pudding of the
FRENCH Canadian. The ancient sausage
was enveloped in the stomach of goats.
1t was not until the tenth century that
sausage made of hashed pork became
known. 1t was in or near the year
15G0 that, thanks to the introduction
into Germany of cinnamon and saffron,
the sausages of Frankfort and of Stras-
burg acquired universal reputation.

Same Missiles.

In 1912, during the struggle between
the British and the Beers over the re-
occupation of Natal by the former, the
British made an attack on the Boer
camp, which failed through misman-
agement and resulted in comparatively
heavy loss. This was followed by a
Boer attack on the position called "The
Point" garrisoned by 25 men, in which
the Beers were again successful. They
now made an onslaught on the en-
trenched camp on the Durham fiat-the
original position, where the enemy's
colors had been hauled down, and turned
against the British the 18-pounder cap
tured at the point. Both sides were
short of ammunition. The British
watched the shots from the captured
gun, picked them up and fred them
back again. The enemy were not slow
to follow the example, so that the mis-
eiles served both sides several times

DANGEROUS SMELLS.
Scents That XIII More Surely Than q
Gun Shot Through the
Heart.

Some smells are dangerous, A single
sniff of highly concentrated prussiQ
acid will kill man as quickly as shot
through the heart. The odor of a bad
egg is due to the presence of SUI
phuretted hydrogen, and the objection
able perfumes Of sewers and bone fac
tories are attributable chiefly to the
same gas. Chemical laboratories, says
the Boston Transcript, are famous for
bad smells. BerZelius, who discovered
The element called "selenium," once
tried the experiment Of permitting q
bubble of pure hydrogen selenide gas
10 enter his nostrn. For days after
wards he was not able to smell strong
ammonia, the olfactory nerves being
temporarily paralyzel, Selenium gas
has the odor of putrid horseradish,
Tellurium is even worse. There is a
story of physician whose patient, a
lady, refused to take an absolutely nee
essary rest because she was SO fond of
being always on the go in society. He
gave her pill containing a small guam
I;ty of tellurium, and her breath was
effected by it to such an extent that
she was not able to appear in public for
a month. She never guessed what the
trouble was. The volatized essential
oil of roses is supposed to cause rose
cold" This peculiar complaint is so
far nervous in it's character that paper
roses sometimes excite it.

FOR TIE SERVICE.
A Young Chicago Recruit with Lime
tied Experience Enlists in the
Regular Army.

lie was a sturdy young fellow, in
whose breast the fires of patriotism had
blazed strongly. He first enlisted in
Hartigan's tigers" but the delay in
getting to the front was too much for
his temper. He was anxious to meet
with few Spaniards and felt as if this
were denied him his life could never be
complete, So he went to his captain in
the volunteer organization and request
ed permission to join the regulars. As
there was no string to him, the captain
said he might go if he chose and that
his going would not be regarded as
discourteous. He was vastly relieved
and took his departure to the station
at 50 West Madison street. where he
asked to be taken up as soldier.
In enlisting in the volunteers the re-
cruting officer always asks the recruit
what, if any, military experience he has
had, This is done that the captain may
have line on the men with a view to
filling the noncommissioned Offices
This particular man had had no expert
ence before joining the ':tigers,n but he
was filled with the spirit of the hing.
Capt, Bonus, however, cares little
about this matter. Still, if soldierly
appearing man shows up, the genial
captains experienced eye detects the
fact at once. This man had such an APP
pearance. He uncovered on entering
the office and stood at attention, watt
ing for the captain to speak.

'Hum, you look as if you had seen
some service. Ever been a soldier9u
s'Yes, SIR"
fWhere are your papers?"
"The captain didn't give me any, sir.
He just told me to come over here and
you would have me examined for en-
listment."
what experience have you had,
then?"
II was in I company of Col. Harti-
gan's regiment, sir"
1t was true. He had been a member
of that company and had drilled few
times. This was his total military ex-
perience, but he was so eager that he
had acquired the movements of a SOL
dier with this limited practice. He was
accepted and sent to the front He was
fair type of the men who are enrolled
on the rosters of the volunteer organi-
cations in Chicago.
He'll make good soldier" was the
remark made by Capt. Bonus, as the
recruit marched down the hall in the
wake of the sergeant.-Chicago Chron-

Scoring One on .RuskIn.

John Ruskin once criticised in his

grieved at the effect. Later, on hearing
OF the sorrow he had caused, he wrote to
the artist that he regretted he could
not otspeals more favorahly of the picture,

The Big niagara bridge.

The new steel bridge being erected
at Niagara falls to replace the last OF
the suspension bridges will be the larg-
est of its kind in the world. The main
arch will be SG9 feet long, the next
largest being the 566 feet arch OF a
bridge at Oporto, Portugal. The ap-
preach on the Canadian side is 24O feet
long and that on the American side 100
feet, making the total length of the
structure 1868 feet. The bridge will
connect the two great free parks, Queen
Victoria Falls park on the Canadian
side and the New York state reservation
on the American side, 1t will be a
single structure, having width of little
over 40 feet. In the middle 23 feet OF
this space will be given up to the pur-
poses of a dopble-track electric rail-
road. On either side of this will be foot
passages slightly elevated above the
roadways. The middle of the arch is
$50 feet above the gorge. 1t was I'M
possible, of course, to build false works
to sustain the main arch, and it was
built out from either end to the middle,
the old suspension bridge furnishing
an anchorage and a platform from
which to operate. The work was ex-
tremely perilous, and in order to give
the mechanics every protection posi-
bic boat manned by an expert oars
man was kept under the bridge.-N, T.

rwo rolnted ouestlons Answered.

What Is the use of making be tier article than your competitor if you cannot get better price for 1t?
 Ans.--As there is no difference in the price the public will buy only the better, so that while our profits may be smaller on a single sale they will be much greater in the aggregate.
 How can you get the public to know your make is the best?
 If both articles are brought prom inently before the public both are certain to be tried and the public will very quickly pass judgment on them ald use only the better one.
 This explains the large sale of Chamberlain's cough remedy. The people have been using 1t for years and have found that it can always be depended upon. They may occasion. ally take up with some fashionable novelty put forth with exaggerated claims, but are certain to return to the one remedy that they know to be reliable, and for coughs, colds and oroup there is nothing equal to Cham berlain's cough remedy.
