OUGHT TO BE PROUD OF IT.
Our Congress the Most Interesting
 Body of Men in the World.

'-The congress of the United States is the most interesting body of men ir the world. It comes nearer to being a representative body than any other that ever existed. It Is the micro- cosrn of the republic, presenting in con- centration all the extraordinary pecu- liarities of the nation whose work it is selected to perform. It's average of ability Is higher than that of any other parliamentary body on earth. Each of it's members represents larger con- stituency than is represented by any single member of any European parlia- ment, and with very few exceptions, each member is a good representative of the constituency for which he stands. Those who sheer at congress and at congressman sheer at the voters who selected them. Luckily that sort of thing is going out of fashion. Peo- pie are beginning to appreciate con- gress for what it really is, and it is getting better all the time.
 There are very few members either of the house or of the senate who are not of native birth. To be exact, there are just sixteen representatives and six senators who were not born in the Uni ted States. In the Fifty-sixth con- gress, curiouSly enough, one of the members is Henderson, the speaker, who is a Scotchman. But he is as genuine an American as there is in the land. Considering the proportion of foreign to native born in the United States, the percentage is insignificant, especially when it is remembered that the average member of congress Is one who has been given to moving about the world and shifting his environ ment. Out of 352 members of the present house only PIT represent the states in which they were born, and of this number only a few still live in the congressional district where they first saw light. The average congressman is a hustler. He has been ambitious or else he would never have found his present place. That he has been sue cessful in some measure goes. without saying, and the fact that so many of them have broken away from their early surroundings, and have gained new successes in new fields, simply goes to show something of the energy and force that has made the American congress what it is.'-L.

PENNSYLVANIA sENAToRsHIP.
Representative Acheson Thinks Anti
 Quay Man Will Win.

Washington, Dec. ".-Representa- tive Acheson of Philadelphia, says that both sides in the sena- toria1 contest in his stalte over the election of a successor to Senator Quay are confident of victory.
 Senator Quay, believe, claims that he has 156 votes assured said MT. Acheson, but the anli-Quayites are confident that when a vote of the legis- lature Is taken he will fall far below that number, in fact below 12S, the number necessary to secure the sena- torship. I think that MT. Quay is a few votes short in both the state house and senate. I think an anti Quay man will succeed MT. Quay, but just who will be selected remains to be seen. Any number of available candi- dates have been mentioned. They in clude Representative John Dalzell of Pittsburg, Postmaster General Smith. P A. B. Widener, the traction mag nate. John wannamaker, State Sena- tor Chris L. Magee and many others. Any one of these men would fill the place with distinction and honor to the keystone state.
 Senator Quay, during the recent election, had the contest of his life on his hands. There was just one circum- stance which saved him from utter de- feat That was the fact that this year was a presidential year. Had it been an off year MT. Quay would sure ly have met with decisive defeat at the polls. Take the county of Westmore- land, for instance. The presidential ticket carried that ticket by 5000 ma tority, while Quay carried it only by 200. In Mercer county also Mir. Me Kinley had a majority of 1900, while

Deaf Dumb and Blind She
 OVercOnes All Obstacles.
POSSESSES WONDERFUL MIND
Her Career Has Been Remarkable, and She Has Good Reasons to Re- jOIce at Having Successfully
 Passed the Examination.

The first week of college life Is always fraught with the the keenest interest for a girl who has studied hard and looked forward eagerly to the beginning of her academic training. Yet all of the young women who during the past few days have felt more than the ordinary degree of ex- ultation over examinations happily passed and student prospects invitingly present. there is probably none in all the world who rejoices more and with greater reason than Helen Keller, the gifted blind deaf and dumb girl of Tuscumbia who is at last Radcliffe girl.
 50 you study at Radcliffe?" This, in tho tense tones which those who know Miss Keller always recognize as rejecting deep emotion on her part, has been for some four years now her first remark upon meeting one of the girls from the college of her choice.
 Tremendous obstacles have been overcome by her in preparing herself to pass the liar yard examinations, which alone admit to the privileges of the girls college at Cam bridge. Intellectually, Helen Keller Is even now but 13 years old. For she was before she was taught anything at all-before even the slightest ray of mental light was per mitted to penetrate to her stifled brain. That the brain must have been stifled has since been shown, for perhaps no other child that the world has ever known has assimlated with anything like the avidity of this one the lessons careful teachers have been able to give.
 It was under the instruction of Arthur Gilman, for many years the treasurer or Radcliffe College that the bulk of Miss Keller's preparation was accomplished. When MT. Gilman was approached some five or so years ago by Miss Sullivan, Hel- en's teacher, in regard to the education of her young charge, he felt a natural hesi- tancy in undertaking what seemed to be an almost hopeless task, but Miss Sullivan urged the matter strenuously and success fully and the work was begun.
 After becoming familiar with what his
The age-herald., 1900-10-14

pupil had already done, Mir. Gilman saw his way clear to all the examinations ex- cept that In experimental physics. And this obstacle was got over by the substitution of its alternatives, text book physics and astronomy. In the pursuit of the former subject Miss Kellers delicate touch stood her in excellent stead When she first met the word mercury, for instance and was taken to the laboratory ito have a lock- at it, she took some in her hand and read fly enough understood that the stuff had been well named quicksilver. When some was spilled on the floor and she tried to pick it up she found it extremely elusive. Then she weighed a bottleful with almost absolutely accurate results. As for astron- omy, when provided with a planetarium upon which she could feel the position of the heavenly bodies, this presented almost no difficulty
 Geometry and algebra were naturally rather hard for a girl who had only her sense of touch to help her, but by patience and the employment of several ingenious instruments these subjects, too, were mas tered In the matter of foreign languages Helen was quite at home. She possesses a wonderful memory, as well as the philo- logical kind of mind. All languages are a joy to her, and since she learned to speak English by placing her fingers upon the lips of her instructor she could, of course, learn the oral part of any other language in pre- csely the same way. For the rest, gram mar, composition, and so on, the raised let ter books and her wonderful memory sup piled everything needed.
 Miss Kellers grasp of English and her aptness in the matter of literary allusions Is nothing short or wonderful Her work in translation is invariably brilliant, and always presents a clear and forceful DIG ture of whatever scene is being described. In class she used to interrupt when an un-
