What ii Costs to
Run the Senate.

the taxpayer should not grow long
faced at such a modest rate Of revel-
ry as this, considering the fact that
fifteen years ago nearly every commit
tee room at the senate end of the CAPT.
toll had its provision of liquors pur-
chased by the chairman or by mem
Der with a reputation as a connoisseur.
The senator's salary of $4,000 a year
is perhaps nothing to brag Of! Yet it
iE just $4,000 a year more than given
to members of the British House OF
Lords for their parliamentary duties
To this add SIZE allowed each year TO-.
newspapers and stationery, only about
$50 of which need be spent. Further
add an allowance for railroad mileage
given at the beginning and end Of each
session, and which need not be ex-
pended by those who hold passes.
: While seated at his desk a senator
need only to clap his hands to summon
as many pages as necessary to order
his lunch, deliver his notes or fetch
him books, stationery, or glass OF
water. If a chairman Of a committee
he has at his personal disposal the
clerkship of that committee, including
a handsome salary of $4,000 or $4,000
not to mention an assistant clerkship
or messengership at from s1,440 up.
If without Craftsmanship he is in
sured the personal appointment Of a
clerk at 81 500 year.

To have his hand so badly frozen that
amputation was for time seriously con-
sidered when thermometers registered 100
degrees In the shade, has not been the
experience of many men, yet Harry
Knowles, q bartender in an Aberdeen, s..
D., saloon had this experience the other
day. ...
4 For charging beer In kegs and forcing It
to flow through the pipes in the bar
faucet carbonic acid gas Is used This
comes in liquefled form, and is stored In
cylinders strong enough to withstand n
pressue of several thousand pounds to the
square inch. These cylinders are usually
charged to a pressure Of about 1000
pounds and safety plug is gagged to
blow out at 2.400 pounds pressure. The
gas Is not unlike liquid air when IT Is
permitted 10 escape and come in contact
with the atmosphere, and creates a very
low temperature. ~
The safety plug blew out Of q cylinder
in the saloon where Knowles was en-
ployed, when the proprietor Was out. and,
rot understanding the nature of the gas
Knowles picked up n damp towel and at
tempted to hold 1t over the aperture and
stop the flow of escaping gas. It took but
n few moments to freeze the towel stiff,
and the young man did not discover that
the excessive cold had also badly frozen
his hand until the proprietor stepped into
the room and told him to let the gas go,
as nothing could stop It, Knowles then
discovered what happened to his hand.
He put 1t in charge of q doctor. who
says the hand will be saved. but the
victim suffers great deal of pain and
will be laid up for several weeks. Chi

New York's Peppermint Crop.

The peppermint crop was the lead
ing feature in some neighborhoods OF
central New York a few years ago,
and brought more money into the
hands of the farmers than did the
apple crop. But now the peppermint
crop is mostly thing Of the past in
that section, and the mint stills, where
oil is made, are kept in operation by
the crop of few acres near them. The
beet sugar crop has driven the mint
crop westward, for the farmers find
it more profitable to raise sugar beets.

California has had the greatest.
stage drivers the world has known.
Indeed stage driving in its perfection
developed there, says a correspond
The pioneers Of the profession came
hitler from Mexico during the gold
excitement. Mexico was the BIRTH
place Of American staging of the wild
order that prevailed for a generation
in California, Nevada, Idaho, Oregon
and Washington. For years the Mexi-
can mails had been carried from Vera
Cruz on the gulf coast to the City OF
Mexico in great, ponderous, Anticipated
Spanish mail coaches, with nine mules
in team and position drivers riding
the animals. There was not man
in all Mexico at the close Of the Mex
lean war who could drive a six-horse
team. Then Don Jose Saratusa got
the contract from the government to
carry the mails between the City Of
Mexico and Vera Cruz, and he sent
to Troy, N. X, and to Concord, N. H.,
for modern coaches and to the moun-
tain districts Of New York and Of the
south for skillful stage drivers.
The chosen Americans came gladly
enough, for In those days stage driv-
ing was worth only about SIS month
in the east and south, with short runs
and the personal care of the horses
in the barn. Don Jose Saratusa gave
800 a month and furnished each
American with a. native. servant or
soto" The servant was really an
apprentice put in by the willy Mexican
don to learn the business from the
Americans. Don Jose would fine his
American drivers, but he dared not
discharge any of them until the ESQ
tcs" could learn the trick of manipu-
lating six lines and managing the
great brake with the foot. In those
days the American drivers caught their
first fever of recklessness, perhaps
from a desire to brighten the trem-
bling "sotos" and the listless Mexican
passengers. Nine mules would pull
the big stage up one side Of the Rio
Frijo mountains, and at the summit
the middle four or swing would be
taken out, and down the other side
the smaller team would dash-the
great back wheels rough locked with
big steel shoes and leaving a streak
Of fire after them over the rocky road
until the descent of the mountain by
night time became a spectacular but
awful thing, so terrific wasN the pace
which these venturesome American
drivers Numbered down that Mexican
mountain with the mails.
Then the gold fever swept over the
land and the best Of the drivers
locked into California and left the
'sotos'' to get along as best they
