Repartee In Congress,

In the Fifty first congress there was
a tilt between General Spinola and Eli
,nh Adams Morse that was entertaining.
Ire general always wore an enormous
standing collar, 1t was so large that it
is said that Tim Campbell approached
him one day and tapped the collar with
tho ferrule of his cane, alphabetically
asking, lis General Spinola Within"
Mr. Morse was making a sort of pro.
hibition speech against the sale of in
bXicating liquors in army canteens.
General Spinola had interrupted him
several times, and in reply the Massa.
chusetts statesman finally twitted him
upon the size of his collar. 1t stung the
general to the quick. Taking the floor
some minutes afterward, he called atten-
ton to MIR, Morses language. my col

from Massachusetts, is Immediately

ANY One Would DO.

Bishop Lawrence of Massachusetts
tells good story Oh himself and Presl-
dent Eliot Of Harvard. When Phillips
Brooks was elected bishop. President
Eliot met DR. Lawrence, who was then
dean of the Episcopal Theological school
at Cambridge and said to him; The
church has made the greatest mistake OF
a lifetime Brooks was the pivot around
which we revolved in Boston NOW you
have spread him all over the state Any
one would have dcne for bishop.
Years after when Phillips Brooks
had gone to his reward and Dean Law
renee had been chosen III his place, he
met Presi dent Eliot in the street again
The latter was warm in his congratula-
tons. my dear bishop. " he said, -
mast CONGRATULATE you. The church
couldn't have made better selection
thought you should have been the choice
when Brooks was chosen. ="

Truth and Fiction.

"Struwwelpeter, one of the pic
lures, represents little maiden, supine
in bed, very ill-and no wonder-with
an immense cherry tree growing out of
her mouth. This was the sad result of
swallowing the stones along with the
fruit, in spite of all warnings But we
all know that truth is stranger than
fiction. and the Petersburgskaya Gazeta
of June rs and July s. 1897, quotes the
following exemplification of this saying
from the foreign papers:
"A little girl years Of age, Amelia
L., whose father worked at the sawmills
in Belgard (Ain). was at play the other
day, when she managed to push the
seed of plane tree deep into her ear
Shortly after she began to experience
acute pains and it was found that the
seed had taken root in the waxy secre-
tions of the ear and was growing apace
The father proceeded to cautiously up
root the intrusive plant, and the girl
has now recovered.
If this story is true, it is to be hoped
that Miss Amelia L., now that her ear
is once more free and in working order,
will incline it to hearken to the exhorta'
lions of her elders and will not go on
planting plane trees in such obviously
uncongenial soil. Notes and Queries.

Turks and Jews as we'll as Christians.
according to tho Kolnische Volkszel-
tung, have been much excited by the
sound of the three bells of the new Prot
estant church in jerusalem. For sever
al centuries the use of bells by the Chris
tians in Palestine or elsewhere within
tho Ottoman empire had been prohibit
ed by the great Turk, who has conceded
it now, however, to his friend and ally,
the evangelical German kaiser. In the
Theatre dc la TurGue published in 1868,
it is said: "The Turks hate bells as d
symbol of Christianity and do not per-
nit even tho Christians to use them.
Only iu few remote mountain con-
vents or in lonely islands where there
are no resident Mohammedans Is the
use of bell tolerated. Westminster

In spite of the terrible increase in the
destructiveness Of modern warfare the
tendency of the times is to make con.
hiCt as humane as practicable. For this
reason the use or copper covered bullets
has been frowned upon, and philadel-
phia physician has plan that he claims
will wonderfully mitigate the suffering
of man whose body has been perforat-
ed by the modern small caliber bullet.
1t is we'll established that the velocity
and penetrating force of these bullets
Ere SO great that unless they chance to
strike bone they will pass entirely
through mans body without his know
ing it. The physician idea is to attach
a small wad of aniseptic cotton to the
rear of the bullet This would be cover
ed by the shell of the cartridge and
could not interfere with loading or fir
ing, AS the bullet passes through per-
son the wad will antisepticize the wound
and prevent consequent suppuration. 1t
may be possible to SO nicely adjust the
adhesion of the wad to the bullet that
as the missile passes out it will leave
the wad to plug the hole and stop bleed
ing, Ultimately this system might do
away with the necessity of large med
ical corps as each bullet would carry
medical treatment for the unfortunate
it wounded. philadelphia Record.

A Rag Full of Breath.

The pneumatophor, an Austrian
invention for enabling miners, flremen,
etc., to breathe when surrounded by
after damp, smoke or nozious fumes OF
any kind, consists of an alright rubber
bag containing a steel bottle of pure
oxygen at pressure of 100 liters and
metal protected glass bottle containing
a 25 per cent solution OF caustlc soda.
The oxygen can be admitted by hand
screw into the bag and drawn into the
mouth through rubber tube the nose
being closed by a clip. The turn OF an
other hand screw breaks the glass bottle,
allowing the caustic soda to now out
and be absorbed by knitted network
in the bag to absorb the carbonlc acid
exhaled, allowing the oxygen to be re-
breathed, the apparatus being capable
of furnishing oxygen enough to last
from 30 to 80 minutes, as has been at
tested by numerous experiments
