People who have been reading Senator
Lodges History of the Revolution run
ming in serial form in Scribners Magazine,
have been impressed both by the artistic
merit and the graphic quality of the illus
trations They do, in fact, illustrate the
text-a thing not always true of magazine
pictures-and make more clear the readers
ideas of the times and events described.
AS Mr. Lodge himself says, they have
caught the very atmosphere of the thing =
When the original drawings and paintings
from which these Illustrations were made
were put on exhibition in New York the
Journal called the attention of Indianapo-
lis art lovers to them and to the fact that
they would be of especial interest here be-
cause one of the artists, Mr.. T. c. lohn, is
an indianapolis man, and this would afford
an opportunity to see his work. The local
CHAPTER of the Daughters of the Revolution
profited by the suggestion and has arranged
for an exhibition OF the pictures. Mr. Yohn
was a pupil of the Indianapolis public
schools and obtained his first lessons in
drawing there. As practical outcome of
school training his work will happily sup
plement the object lessons in arts and crafts
now being given ut the High School.

In response to the petition of the women
of a certain aristocratic suburb of Cincin-
rati the president of the street-railway cor
poration has issued an order to the con-
ductors on his lines forbidding them to eat
onions within twenty-four hours of going
on duty. This is all very well as far as it
goes, but who is to protect the unhappy
patrons of Cincinnati street cars from that
very large class of fellow-passengers whose
breath is favored with that powerful COM
bination onions and beer?

A redeeming feature of the seeming delay
in warlike action is that it has given the
government time to make very important
preparations for war. Spain may have done
something during the last two months. but
nothing at all comparable to what has been
done by the United States.

In the last four years, according tt
Consul Dickey. at Callao, only one car
60 OF wheat has been sent from the
United States to Peru. The reason
why he is not able to explain, but says
that the cargo referred to went from
San Francisco In October last year
THE total import OF Chflian wheat into
Peru during the year 1897" says tn,
consui's report, amounted to 22,613,
72s Kilograms (49.S54.713 pounds)
These figures show that Chill supplies
the Peruvian markets with wheat ant
-four. But why Chilli and not the Unit.
ed States should supply the Peruvian
markets when our products are far su.
perior to those of Chilli do not know.
unless it Is due to the very low freight,
charged by sailing vessels carrying
wheat from Chill. which am told arr
only soles ts1.69) ton" The con.
sui thinks that the first thing to bt
done by the United States to gain tht
trade of Peru and Of other countries or
the Pacific coast of South and Central
America is to establish fast line o
steamers from San Francisco. This
combined with the present lines plyinf
between New York and the west coas
Of South America, would greatly heiI
the United States In regaining thl
vast trade that she once had with thii
coast.

During the course of the discussion
which recently took place In the French
senate on the subject Of the sugar du-
ties in that country, some interesting
figures were quoted showing the prog
ress of the sugar industry in the three
sugar producing countries, Germany,
France and Austria. During the year
1874-75 France produced 1900 tons OF
sugar, Germany 250,0O0 tons and Aus
tria 106, 900 tons, while twenty years
later France fell to the third rank. and
Germany produced 1881. 900 tons, Aus
trfa 1,046, 900 and France 745.000 tons.
In 1873 France exported 100000 tons
Of sugar, Austria $4,000 and Germany
21,000, while in 1895 Germany exported
1000, 900 tons, Austria 100000 and
France $4,000 tons. The consumption
in France in 1895 amounted 20 433.000
tons and In Germany to $4,000 tons.
The total bounty granted In France on
the manufacture Of sugar amounted in
1SS4-s5 to e1,012.000 and iE 1895 to
a2,302, 600. The quantity OF sugar
consumed per head Of the population in
Germany, France and Austria amount
ed respectively to 26.7. 27.S and 1875
pounds.

THE PAGES OF CONGRESS.

they Are No Longer as Fortunate as In
the Good Old Days.
A young man who served as page In
the house of representatives for sever
al years talked Interestingly with a
Washington Star reporter recently.
Times have changed since l went into
the house." he said. They were much
better then for the page than they are
now in many different points of view.
The pay of a page in both the house
and the senate, as is pretty generally
known. is $3.50 per day. During the
long sessions the boy has chance to
make something extra, or, at least, he
used to. This has been done away with,
though, TO a certain extent. When the
representatives had no private secre-
taries, or when they had to pay for
them out of their own pockets. the
pages used to make considerable on the
side by working for the representatives.
helping to mail their documents, writ
ing for them, and doing various kinds
of work. Since the bill was passed
granting the representatives private
secretaries of course all this has
changed. Nowadays the pages can't
even listen to the debates and have a
chance to learn something that way. as
was formerly the case. Since Mr..
Reeds second term as speaker he has
made great revolution in this respect.
Now the pages are coOped up in quar-
ters in the cloakrooms On either side
of the house. 1t is regular hotel bell
boy arrangement Instead of clapping
their hands. as they used to do, the rep
resentatives, when they want a page,
simply touch a button. This rings a
bell in re pages rooms. There Is an
electric annunciator, which is the same
as used in hotels for the bell boys, so
that 1t can be told directly where the
boy is wanted. l understand they are
going still further to make arrange
ments SAVIOR of the bell-boy position, as
there IS talk of uniforming the boys
When l first went in they had two
chief pages, who got $1,000 salary. who
were supposed to look after the others
Now, as the boys sit on the long
| benches in the corners of the cloak
rooms they are watched by an over
seer, as he is called, who receives a
salary of 5000. He watches the annun-
ciator, and when bell rings sends a
boy to the desk. So it Is getting more
and more like the hotel system all the
| time. In the senate they do not allow
boys over 16 years of age, but it makes
no difference in the house. When l was
there some of them were "a or 25 years
Of age. A boy has to be IL years or
more to occupy a position as a page.
There are thirty-three in the house and
sixteen in the senate. The pages, be-
lieve, in the supreme court chamber are
required to wear knee breeches when
they are on duty. but this is not en-
forced in the others

A Few days ago, says one Of the South
German papers, soldier was return

(Wurtemberg) from an excursion to
the suburbs. It was near the time for
evening drill, and he was In fear Of
being late. Suddenly small vehicle,
driven by a man In civilians clothes,
appeared. May not take the vacant
seat at your side, sir?" asked the SOL
der. II am late for drill" "Pn be

ply. The trooper took tho seat. A
few minutes later, looking at ..ls watch.
he grew pale. Pardon me-" he went
on. but might I ask you to drive fas-
ter: l have great fear of my captain.

The driver whipped up his team, and
In short time drew up before the gate
OF the barracks. Thank you. sir"
said the soldier, in descending. While
the SON OF Mars was still bowing his
acknowledgements, the officers on duty
at the armory had ordered the guard
to present arms. The driver of the ve-
hic;< was the king of wurtemberg.

ANTS AND THEIR MILcH COWS,


Process of Milking for the Much-prized
Honey Dow.
The fact that ants used aphids for
milch COWS was discovered nearly a
century ago, but the special care given
to their live stock has been subject
Of more recent study, says the Chau-
tauquan. Almost any one may have
observed ants running up and down the
trunks of trees and shrubs. It Is no
Joy of climbing nor desire for a wide
outlook that leads the ants to ascend
trees, but because the leaves of the
trees afford pasturage for their small
cattle, the aphids. These little crea-
lures exude voluntarily drops of a
sweet liquid known as honey dew. The
process of milking is this: The ant
comes up to the aphid and pats 1t on
the back with her antennae. at which
the fiattered and pleased aphid gives
forth the honey dew, which the ant
eats with every sign of enjoyment. It
might be seen at first glance that the
benefits Of this relationship accrue only
to the ants. However. this is not the
case. The ants are fierce defenders of
their flocks, and make it very uncom-
Portable for the many insect enemies
Of the aphids. Some species of ants
build sheds over the aphids upon the
trees and other species remove them
to the safety Of their own nests; but
the special claim Of the ants as aphid
protectors lies in the care of the aphid
eggs, which are shown as much atten-
tion as their own.
