The purpose was not to get the min
listers views before the public, but to
show the source from which senator
had drawn the greater part of his
speech a few days before. Another
recent occasion in which the Congress
sional Record was made an accOmmo-
dating vehicle was in the report of
controversy between two representa-
tives on the floor. One of them let
the bout go. so far as his part went,
as the Official reporter took it. The
other revised his remarks so well
that he gave himself altogether the
best of the affair. Some of the gems
of congressional oratory are never ut
tered. They are afterthoughts, so to
speak. Mr.. Cooney. of Missouri, has
inserted in the Record a speech which,
if it had been delivered on the floor in
its entirety, would have created a great
sensation. He opens his printed
speech in this way: Mr. Chairman:
We have thrown the Spaniard down
upon his back. Gucked him in the

merical superiority Of the women
Article ; of this law ran: "Any man is
allowed to marry two wives. but hus-
bands are advised that if the fate OF
two persons is intrusted to them they
must in turn behave with prudence
and discretion, providing for them suf-
fciently and taking such measures as
may prevent quarrels." Herbert Spen-
Ger may consider the Diet which could
pass such a law civilized And they
may have been, but to the casual OBJ

OLD SHOES.
And a Word About Other Things Old
Including Old HabIts.

Including Old Habits.
GAS easy as an old SHOE" is a IA
miliar saying" said Mr.. Staybo and
there can be no doubt that an old shoe
is a mighty comfortable thing. After
we have worn the new shoes, close fit
ting, hard, and formal, how gladly we
put them off, and with what joy we
put on the shoes that are old and worn
and familiar to the feet. Old shoes.
however, are not the only thing old
that we like We like an old bed, II
it is not too old, but just old enough.
so that while still soft and comfort
able, it is also shaped somewhat to the
body, which it supports at every point,
yielding a degree of comfort which not
the finest of beds can afford when II
is new But it is so with all things
habits. We cling to them, so long as
they give us comfort, and we hate to
change. We are creatures of habit,
who would if we could follow to the
end along the first comfortable rut we
fall into, and never look out above its
sides. And it is well for us that our
shoes wear out, and that we have to
buy new ones and wear them; that we
are in various ways compelled to
change; that we are rooted out now
and then and set going anew. And
some of Us profit by this change. Once
lifted out of the rut we stay up on the
plain, where there is nothing to cramp
us, and where we can lay about freely
in any direction in accordance with
our power, but more of us, I fancy,
rather welcome the days when the
shoes grow old again, and yield with
out much struggle to the enticements

Queer Customs of Land Where There Are More Women
Than There Are Men,

The women of Paraguay are so much
IN the majority that they do the work
of the country. They are the buyers
and sellers Of every community, and
outside of the cities the men are the
drOnes. Any bachelor in the UnSted
States can find wife in Paraguay if
he wants one, for the men are now so
few that any two-legged animal with
out feathers, of the masculine gender.
will here be greedily grabbed The
sexes were once about equally divided,
but Paraguay had a war which killed
off the men. 1t was just before the
close of our trouble between the North
and the South. At that time Paraguay
was the leading country of this part OF
the world. 1t was about the richest of
all South American. and its wealth and
influence angered the Argentine, IRA
quay and Brazil. They combined
against it and their joint army attack
ed the ParaguayanS. The struggle last
ed five years, but it ended in the WHIP
ing out, as it were, of the Paraguayan
men. 1t is said that 100000 of shem
died in battle and that thousands of
women and children were starved to
death
1t is hard to get accurate figures in
any South American country, but, ac-
cOrding to the best estimates, the pop
ulation of Paraguay was cut down by
this war so that there was only one
man to six women, while another stat
istician gives it that three-fourths of
all the people in Paraguay, numbering
about 100000, were destroyed. When
o
left, of whom about $4,000 were men
and 1861 900 were women over Is years
OF age. The rest were children. Para
quay thus became a land of women,
and nature seems to lie keeping it so.
Since the war | am told that more girls
have been born every year than boys.
In Asuncion the girl births exceed the
boy births by more than five to the
hundred, and outside the city the per-
centage of girl babies is greater.
Many of the Paraguayan women are
very good looking. This is so OF all
classes, and especially sc CT the yOung.
A Paraguayan maiden is a trifle under
middle height. She is "a straight as an
arrow and as timber as a willow tree
bran h, though inclined to be voluptu
Gus in form. Her complexion is of the
Jersey cream order and often of the
reddish brown of the Guarani Indians.
She has, as a rule, more Or less Indian
blood in her veins. When the Span
iards came here this country was in
habited by the gentle and semi-civiliz-
ed Guaranis. The two races intermar-
ried Their descendants took wives
from the same tribes, so that today
there are comparatively few Paraguay
ans who have not large proportion of
Guarani blood. The Indian mixture has
resulted in the adoption of many In
dian customs, and the language most
spoken by the people today is the
Guarani. In the country districts little
else is used and in the schools of
Asuncion there are notices on the walls
that scholars must not speak Guarani
during school hours. The Guarani is
q soft language and the Paraguayan
girls have sweet voices. Indeed, their
tones fall softly on my ears after the
