SMITHS IN TIE HOUSE.
They Are Men Noted for Thsii Ability
and ARabnity.

They Are Men Noted for Theia Ability
and AEabnity.
There are four Smiths in this house;
there will be FIVE Smiths In the next.
Four Of them win be republicans, and
three Of them will come from the state
Of Michigan, says the Washington
Post. In fact, Michigan Is the state
that furnishes this new statesman OF
the Smith family. The only demo-
cratic Smith Is Mr.. David Highbaugh
Smith Of H~odgensville, Larue county,
Kentucky, a little man Of nervous
ner, who is one Of the ablest members
Of the Kentucky delegation in the
house, although, as he is now serving
his first term. he has not come very
prominently to the front. It was In
this Mr.. Smiths district, not far from
~Hodgensville. that Abraham Lincoln
was born, which makes It pertinent to
remark that Representative-Elec Hen
ry G. Smith Of Adrian, in the Second
Michigan district. has an Abraham
Lincoln habit, much noted by his pros
pective constituents, of illustrating his
arguments with a pat story. He is
said to be ni~mble-witted and tells his
stories, which are sometimes original,
In excellent form. This Michigan
Smith is about 40 years old, the son Of
a farmer, and was born within six
miles Of the city where he nov resides.
He paid his own way through college,
studied law and has built up a prac-
tice and won a reputation as the lead
ing attorney Of that part OF Michigan.
He succeeds that intrepid old warrior,
Gen. George S%palding. During the cam
paign Mr.. Smith clambered into the
Ringree band wagon and is an ardent
supporter Of Michigan's emphatic chief
executive. Representative s. w. Smith
Of the Sixth Michigan district, who is
the smallest man in stature in the
house, but like Mr.. Smith OF Adrian
a very brilliant lawyer, was reelected.
Representative William Alden Smith, a
man with a Daniel Webster pose, who
is a member of the house committee
on foreign affairs, and who had a bat
tie with Spanish soldiers in Cuba last
spring, frightening away a great num-
Der of them with his silk umbrella, has
likewise been reelected, as has Mr..
George W. Smith Of Murphysboro, Ill,
representing the Twenty-Second dis
trict. It is due to all of the Smiths
now members of the national house to
mention that every one Of them is
personally a very companionable gem
tleman, each popular to a degree or
less degree in political and other cir
cles.

The outer uniformity about Wills in
general, both as to parchment and
penmanship. makes all the more note
worthy the last testament, now at
Somerset House, of the late Sir George
Parker. whose daughter has just died
at Falmouth. Sir George, who lost his
life at Cawnpore during the mutiny,
had only a tiny scrap of paper on
which to write his will. and when 1t
was made it was carried through the
lines by a native. who concealed It In
his ear. Fragile as 1t is. It will doubt
less outlast as a curiosity at Somerset
House, and almost as a bit Of national
history, many a bulky manuscript en-
scrolled on material prepared to DEFY
the decay Of years.

DO not let your child acquire the
habit Of grumbling. Stop the first be-
ginnings and it will never become a
habit. If there is just of com
plant, try to remedy 1t; If there is nc
possibility Of improvement, teach that
silent endurance is the best way to
meet the inevitable. 1t is never wise to
stay in a place and grumble. If the
things you dislike cannot be altered,
change your environment. If on re-
Election you decide that, balancing one

A Lancashire miner was badly in
jured one night and on being taken to
the inhrmary was told by the doctors
that he must give up the ale he loved
or lose his leg. Looking ruefully down
at the injured member, he said: "If
this ere wound cannot stand a sup o.
good yale, him and me must part COM
pany. on wi 'im!" An amusing let
ter is reported as having been sent by
DR.. Conan Doyle to a member of the
Ormeau Golf Club with reference to a
concert held by the club, at which one
Of the Songs of Action" was recited:
MY Dear Sir: Pray, present my com

by Carlyle in an English review forci-
bly, recalls the days when in England
religious services were long enough to
test the zeal Of the worshipers. Ac-
cording to the story, Carlyle had been
asked to take the reading at family
prayers during a short visit paid to his
friend. the provost of Kirkaldy. The
Bible CHANGED to open at the first
chapter of the book of Job, and Carlyle
Immediately became absorbed in his
subject and read on and on to the end
Of the last chapter, when, closing the
volume, he remarked: THAT is a mar
velous, life-like drama, only to be ap-
preciated when read right through"
It is fair to infer that it was appre-
ciated for once. Amy one who has
taken a long, solitary afternoon and
attempted to give the book Of Job an
opportunity to be appreciated by read
ing it honestly through at one sitting
a realize the CONSERVATION Of the
provost. Such a one will not be likely
to wonder, with Carlyle. why he was
not asked again to assist at family
prayers in that household.

CT was very much preiudiced against
the bicycle and bicyclists generally when
came to this city" remarked en- Aia.
one OF che upper departments. TO a WASH
ingtoh star reporter. hut / am free TO
confess that I am now thoroughly con-
WINGED that / was ia error. Until / came
to this city I don't suppose ! had eyer
seen fifty bicycles. and I got the Idea
that the men who used them were a lazy
set n rode a wheel simply because they
owned Il and could ride. In my twelve
years experience IN department lie i
have learned a lot OF things. and one
thing stands out very clearly-that the
clerk who rides a wheel Is an up-to-date
clerk and is a rusQer In work as wei as
on his wheel. Under the circumstances,
therefore, / am not surprised at the ac-
ton Of the Treasury Department In build
ms a bicycle stable for its clerks, and /
am satisfied that the other departments
will in time follow suit. The department
Is a gamer by the bicycle, for the reason
that the bicycle-riding clerks are always
on time in getting to their work. They
ing humor when they begin work than
the clerks who walk to the departments
OF who ride on the street cars. In this
connection / want to add that my expert
ence applies to the women as well as the
men. The bicycle riders are progressive IN
their work. They turn out more work
than those who follow the old ways Of do
ing things. / have never been on a wheel
IN my life. and probably never shall, but
4 NAh Z uElp uollCluB what occurs uuueI
my own eyes every day. There are sup
posed to be nearly 400 oicyClists who ride
their wheels daily to the Treasury De-
partment. These 400, II is safe to say, are
the best 400 clerks in that department.
There is a certain get-up-and-get about
them that Is very satisfactory where there
Is an unusual lot Of hurried work to be
done in a short time. for they can be
relied upon. The stable will prove to be a
paying investment for the department.
Tor the Increase and Improvement I'm
work done will soon more than make up
the cost. Another thing that 1 have no
ttced Is that the bicycle and stenography
and typewriting seem to go together. 1t
IS a rare thing for s"tenographers and
typeWriters to be without "a wheel, be
they men or women.

Som sthInr About rides.

According to the law Of universal
g~ravitation, the moon attracts matter
which stands near to her more strong
ly than that which is more remote. II
follows that the attraction on the
ocean, at the side Of the earth which
is nearest to the moon, must be great
er than that exercised on the solid
earth itself. Hence there is a tend
ency for the sea to depart from its
natural spherical shape and to bulge
outward toward the moon. So far the
matter is simple, but it is perplexing
to many that the moon should appar-
emily repel the water lying on the
further side of the earth. This ac-
ton, however, is not due to any ac-
tual repulsion from the moon, but re-
suits from the fact that on the fur
Their side the moon must attract the
solid earth more strongly than it does
the water. On the nearer side the
moon pulls the water away from the
earth. and on the further side she
pulls the earth away from the water,
thus producing an apparent repulsion
Of the water to an extent equal to the
attraction on the other side.

Mechanical engineers look with favor
on the proposed substitution Of me
chanical draught in place of chimney
draught for furnaces. The former can
be accomplished either by forcing the
air into a closed ash pit and maintain
ing therein o. pressure in excess of the
atmosphere, or by exhausting the air
and gases from the flue o. uptake,
thereby creating a partial vacuum,
causing a constant onward air flow to
the combustion chamber, the first
method being a forced, the latter an
induced draught, centrifugal fans be-
ing used in both cases. Two main adj
vantages are claineV Independence
Of weather conditions and adaptability.
Economically there is also something
to be said in favor Of the proposition,
and from a health point of view-the
suppression of smOke-the advantage
Is manifest. The chimney is an an
cient device that in large plants to be
built will begin to disappear.

Cinderella is not entirely the product
of fiction. The Princess Rhodopis, Of
Egypt, was the first Cinderella. She
was bathing in the Nile, and a bird,
which Strabo calls an eagle, flying
past, picked up one Of her slippers, or
sandals, flew away with It, and
dropped 1t on the lap OF Prince Psam-
meticus. who was holding a court Of
justice in Memphis. He was so struck
by the dainty manufacture and small
size Of the sandal that, being then in
search OF a bride, he at once vowed
that he would only wed the maiden
whose foot fitted the sandal. There
were two elder daughters Of the first
marriage who greatly envied her good
fortune-and here we have all the es-
sentials OF the story.

deal Of attention and several parodies
upon It have appeared IN various pub.

Take up the white Mans burden
Send forth the best ye breed
GO bind POUR sons TO exile
To serve your captivea' need;
To walt, In heavy harness,
on nutterod folk and Wild
You neW-Caught sullon peoples.
Half devil and half child.
Take up the White Mans burden
In patience TO abide,
To veil the threat OF terror
And check the show Of pride;
BY open speech and simple,
An hundred times made plain,
To seek another's profit
And work another's gain.
Take up the White Mans burden
The savage wars Of peace
Fiji full the mouth Of Famine,
And bid the sickness cease;
And when you goal Is nearest
The end for others sOughO
Watch sloth and heather folly
Bring all your hope 20 nought.
Take up the White Mans burden
No iron rule OF kings.
But toll Of serf and sweeper
The tale Of common things.
The ports We shall not enter,
The roads We shall not tread.
Go, make them with your living
And mark them with your dead.
Take up the White Mans burden,
And reap his old reward
The blame Of those We better,
The hate Of those We guard
The cry of hosts We humOr
(Ah, slowlyD TOWARD the light
why brought We us from bondage,
Our loved Egyptian night?'
Take up the White Mans burden
Ye dare not stoOp to less
Nor call too Oud on Freedom
To cloke your WEAKNESS.
BY all We will or whisper,
BY all we leave or do,
The silent sullen peoples
Shall weigh your God n you.
Take up the White Mans burdenl
Have done with childish days
The lightly-pronered laurel,
The easy ~ungrudged praise:
Comes now, to search your manhood
Through all the thankless years,
Cold, edged with dear-bought wisdom,
The Judgment of You peers.

Home libraries Of from ten to fifteen
volumes each are now sent out to New
York tenements. One of the children Of
the family acts as librarian. and once a
week the children of the neighborhood
who have taken the books bring them in
and exchange them. On this day a visitor
is present to tell the children about books
and to try to interest them In better read
ing. Only six OF these libraries have been
sent out as yet. the great difficulty being
to find suitable volunteers for the work
Of visiting. The children were allowed to
name the six libraries. and they promptly
called them after Dewey, Hobson. Samp-

Everything that affects the welfare
Of the people is a legitimate subject
Of comment to the real statesman.
The statesman is not a narrow man.
It is the politician who is narrow. The
true statesman looks out on the world
as it is, and seeks, as far as is in his
power, to remedy evils and encourage
the good.
Catarrh In its various forms is rap
idly becoming a national curse. An
undoubted remedy has been discov-
cred by DR.. Hartman. This remedy
has been thoroughly tested during the
past forty years. Prominent men have
come to know Of it's virtues, and are
making public u~tterances on the sub
iect. To save the country we must
save the people. To save the people
we must protect them from disease.
The disease that is at once the most
prevalent and stubborn Of cure is ca
