understood that should Senator Quay be
reelected, he and Senator Penrose would
have msqual say in filling these Offices.
In short, the result Of the conference
fully upheld the right Of Republican sen-
ators to appoint postmasters in Demo
cratic congressional districts, and em-
phasized the fact that the administration
would not depart from that custom.
The Importance Of this understanding
can better be appreciated when the.
states standing in the lower branch Of
the Fifty-sixth congress Is taken into
consideration. Without counting Con-
gressman McAleer there were nine Dem.
ocratic representatives elected, and as the
Fifty-ffth congress expired on March 4
last, Senator PenrOse Is now the sole dis.
penser of postoffice patronage in eight Of
these districts. These embrace "a Of the
G1 counties, or more than one-third, and
contain no fewer than 1.57S postofices.
1t will thus be seen that the Wanamaker
ties and disaffected Republicans who
were largely responsible for the election
of SO many Democratic congressman in
Pennsylvania have really added to the
power and patronage Of Senator Pen.
rose and incidentally helped Senator
Quay and the regular organization which
they SO vindictively opposed.

 Jewels set in teeth are occasionally heard of. but gold and precious stones set in the human body Is fad not extensively popular. A gentleman re- siding in Bombay wears a beautiful emerald, winch. set in a rim of gold. is stitched by means of gold wire to the breast of the owner. Thus securely fastened, the green gem has rested ua- der his shirt front for ten years. He considers it his lucky stone. Worn by certain barrister is a ring that will not come off. It is a plain gold band of considerable thickness, rivet of the previous metal piercing the ring and passing through the bone of the finger, is filed down on the hesopposite side. Nothing save amputation of the member would release him of the circlet. For sentimental reasons he wishes it to be his lifelong and in- separable companion.

sand Mines in PennsyTvanIa,

There are all kinds of mines in Pennsylvania. The greatest are, of course, the iron and coal mines, but few people would guess that the next extensive mining industry are the sand mines in western Pennsylvania. These mines are rarely underground. however, and many of them are viewed with wonder by passengers on the Pennsylvania approaching Pittsburg. Whole mountains are being dug away, and the granular rocks forming them are being reduced to sand for the man. ufacture of glass in and about Pitts burg.

That Game of Golf.

Last Saturday man missed a drive at golf and smashed the young lady who stood behind him in the mouth and knocked out all her front teeth: and then when she was being rapidly driven to the doctors by another man. the horse ran away and upset her and broke the mans leg and severely in- jured her besides, as an Irishman would say. Happening on Saturday as 1t did, this has nothing to do with the great Sunday golf question now rag Ing in Boston.

Raphael.. -Adarn ana rrA-

The discovery of q genuine Raphael in Paris joiner's shop has made quite 2 stir in the art world, and now in the French court. A picture restorer few weeks ago, while in search of a pe- culiar frame, found what he wanted at joiner's. with an old. partly torn canvas in it. which latter the vender threw in" for the price ($4) agreed upon. Athome, the painter, on taking the canvas out of the frame, cleaned it and, to his utter astonishment, found it to be variation of Raphael's we'll known picture Adam and Eve" He sold it for $16,OOO, and the purchaser since resoId it for s40,00O. Connois- seurs value it at $80.000 and over. The joiner, hearing of this, brought suit for part of the profits, but, as matters look, stands but a poor chance Of gaining his case.
