LARGE CROWD ATTENDS,

Roberts Case Drawing Card at the
Opening of tho House.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5. - Enormous
crowds witnessed the opening scenes in
the house. The principal interest GEN.
tered in the dispo sition of the case of
Mr.. Roberts, Mormon member from
Utah. Those. who anticipated sensa-
tional denouement were disappointed.
The programme outlined by the Re-
publican leaders at their conference on
Thursday night was practically carried
out. The objection to the administra-
ton Of the oath to Mr.. Roberts was en-
tered by Mr.. Tayler Of Ohio as pre-
dicted and he stepped aside without
protest except to ask if by doing so he
waived any of his rights. To this the
speaker responded in the negative. Mr..
Tayler offered his resolution to
Refer to Special Committee,
but by mutual arrangement the consid-
Grafton of the resolution was post
poned.
The election Of Speaker Henderson
and his induction into Office, the ap-
pointment of the usual committees to
wait upon the president the seat draw
ing contest with the usual amusing
features went off without hitch. The
only other feature out Of the ordinary
was the adoption of the Reed rules for
the present congress.

protecting troops. :

little, and the horses are completely
worn out, most Of them being without

The inhabitants of Santa Cruz and of
other towns through which the Ameri-

Giles In the Pu1pit.

The tenets of John Wesley and his
disciples were eagerly embraced in Nor
folk, and Giles frequently became To-
cal preacher. One local, Sam by
name, is described as "a born teacher, !"
though his SMILES often dropped to the
burlesque. On one occasion he took for
his text, 1.-The wages of sin is death, !"
and prefaced his sermon as follows:

that the wages O. sin is death. Now,

Sheridan, one of the greatest of Brit
ish orators and who entered parliament
after conspicuously successful literary
career, SO nearly broke down in his
maiden effort that the general verdict
pronounced upon him was that mature
never intended him for an orator.
Brougham and Canning were equally
unsuccessful, and many of the most
celebrated speakers Of the present day
displayed no signs of oratory when they
appeared for the first time before the
critical assembly at st. Stephens.
Mr.. Gladstone's maiden speech, de-
livered Feb. 81, 1888, was a nervous,
hesitant and almost inaudible effort.

A Sufficient Diet.

A quart of milk, three-q quarters of q
pound of moderately fat beef-sirloin,
for instance-and five ounces of wheat
-four, all contain about the same amount
of nutritive material, but we pay very
different prices for them, and they have
different values for nutriment The
milk comes nearest to being perfect
food 1t contains all of the different
kinds of nutritive materials that the
body needs. Bread made from the
wheat flour will support life. 1t con-
tains all the necessary ingredients for
nourishment but not in the proportions
best adapted for ordinary use. A man
might live on beef alone, but it would
be a very one sided and imperfect diet,
but meat and bread together make the
essentials of healthy diet. Such are
the results of experience, and the ad-
vanoing science of later years explains
them. This explanation takes into ac-
count not simply quantities of meat
and bread and milk and other materials
which we eat, but also the nutritive in
gradients or nutrients" which they
contain. York Ledger.

Hcr spIenald Hair.

When Mrs. Noito was in the heyday
of her loveliness, very beautiful Ital-
ian woman came to London, bringing
letters of introduction. Mrs. Norton
asked small party of fashionable peo-
pie to meet her at dinner, among whom
was Lord Normandy, a great admirer
of pretty women. All the men were en-
chauted with the beautiful stranger and
all the women rather jealous One Of
her great beauties was profusion of
splendid hair, dressed in innumerable
plaits. The women decided they were
not all her own. Before the evening
was over Lord Normandy expressed his
admiration Of the wonderful hair and
intimated how much he should like to
see it let down.
"Since you wish it, my lord, y said
the woman, and she forthwith unplaited
one massive coil after another, while
the other women looked on, devoured
with envy. Il am doing for you, my
lord, what / do not do for everybody, !"
said the houri, casting up her fine eyes
at the enraptured Lord Normandy
from under her mantle of flowing locks.

Water will extinguish a fire because
the water forms coating over the fuel,
which keeps it from the air, and the
conversion of water into steam draws
off the heat from the burning fuel. A

therefore the fire can decompose the
