LARGER A c YEAR.
senAte's Pay Roll Begins to Assume
Enormous Proportions.

senAte's Pay Roll Begins to Assume
Enormous Proportions.
Some United States senators are be-
ginning to think that a halt should be
called on extending the pay roll. It
has come to be almost an understood
thing that additions are in order every
year, and it is noticeable that in the
present session additions are being
made every day. Ancient habitues OF
the capital declare that when the roll
is finally made up it will be shown
that more men are drawing pay from
the contingent fund in the senate than
ever before in the history of that body.
Even the official reporters Of the SEN
ate have been fixed by special resolu-
ton at S1,44O a year. The term mes
senger" covers nearly everything IN
the senate below the rank of clerk.
Every senator has one or more. and
now the official reporters are to have
the service of one. Occasionally a
messenger is put on the roll as ia
borer," in which event his salary is
JUST half that drawn by the man whose
official title is more dignifed, but
whose functions are the same as those
Of "laborer." The explanation OF this
sudden increase of senate employees is
curious, If not interesting. It Is that
the grave and reverend seignors of the
upper chamber are providing ume
Gus constituents against the long
stretch Of rainy days" that will inter
vene between the adjournment of the
hfty-sixth congress in March and the
assembling Of the ffty-seventh con-
gress next December. Nine months of
vacation Of congress is hard on many
people in Washington, but so long as
the senate's contingent fund holds
out life at the national capital will be
made bearable, If not a continuous
round Of pleasure, to such Of its eiti-
zens as command sufficient pulp to
get their names placed on the senate
pay rool as messengers" or labor
ers."

on the coast of Norway IS q small
island called Aarlud, which boasts the
unique distinction of being peopled ex-
clusively by widows. The circum-
stances under which this state of af-
fairs was brought about are no less
curious than distressing, says the
Rochester Herald.
All the men on the island went to a
funeral at Haugesund, on the main
land and during the proceedings at the
burial ground n tremendous gale arose.
When the men returned to their smack
the storm was at i6s height
After carefully considering the situa-
ton the thirty fishermen determined to
sail for Aarlud. and after taking adj
vantage Of the opportunity to replen-
ish their household supplies, the boat
vas rather heavily laden. Their
progress through the angry sea was
most a%nxiously watched by the people
OF the mainland, who, when the boat
had gone the distance Of about a mile
and q half from the coast, saw that the
vessel was I'm great distress. Efforts
were at once made to go to its assist
ance, but the heavy sea beat back ev-
cry boat that was launched. A few
moments afterward the unfortunate
smack plunged forward into the trough
Of the fOaming waves and forever dis
appeared from mortal view. Every one
Of its thirty occupants was drowned,
and on the following morning their
bodies were found along the beach.
News of the disaster was as speedily
as possible conveyed to the island. Ev-
cry wife In the place had by the dread
full event, been made a widow, and out
Of thirty as many as tw~enty-eight were
left without any means of support.
These ONE are now receiving assist
ance from the Norwegian government,
which Is credited with the intention of
settling a number Of single men on the
island as sOO as arrangements can be
made. Until this is done, however, all
It's women must Of necessity remain
widows.

Part of the West African Coast Ravaeed
BY the Disease.
Malarial fever is the greatest scourge
along the west coast OF Africa, but
the country has usually, though not
always, been spared ~visitations of vel
low fever, which is far more preva-
lent along the tropical western coast
Of the Atlantic than on the eastern
side OF that ocean,. In the past sum-
mer, however, yellow fever scourged
West Africa from the desert OF Sa-
hera southwark through Senegal. In
August last, says the Revue Fran
caise, many Of the officers OF the
French army Of occupation and also
several sisters OF charity died Of the
disease. The government Of the coun-
try was completely d~isorganized on
account Of It. Mr.. Chaudie. the gov
ernor general, departed for Europe.
leaving Gen. Combes In charge OF his
duties, The army doctors heroically
remained at their posts and have done
splendid service in fighting the scourge.
II is believed that the plague was in
troduced by a Syrian and his compan-
ions who spread It over the country.
The result was a complete embargo
upon commerce, as no vessel anchored
there and no European was able to
leave. The local government is very
much blamed In France for not taking
better precautions against the spread
ing Of the scourge.

The Peculiar Costume o., the women Of
Korea.

49,
Korea
In Korea. where Chinese customs
predominant, Il is hard to account for
the origin Of the veil. The women Of
the w~eli-to-do middle and upper classes
are kept most %sedulously guarded. The
latter are seldom allowed to go out at
all, and then only at night. A curious
tale Is told to account for a certain
feature of the wells. This consists Of
a pair OF dependent and evidently USE
less sleeves with cuffs. Of another COLI
or, at the bottom. Veil IS not a
proper word to use for this head COW
ering, for It Is Of thick material-cot-
ton, linen or grass cloth-and It would
be impossible to see anything through
1t. It is always white, to match the
other Korean garments. AS a nation
from collie to mandarin-they all
wear It. The woman is obliged to push
the folds Of the veil away from her
eyes so that she may look through the
aperture. The tale concerning them
Is this: Several hundred years ago,
@HNAN4 MMa A84NAMh AME OAAAANaNn
the entire Korean army and all the
men in the capital Of Seoul had
marched out in defense Of that capital
to meet an attacking force toward the
north. At the same time another force,
unknown to the Koreans, approached
Seoul from the south. Since every
able-bodied man had already gone to
the attack, the city and the remain
ing inhabitants we're threatened with
destruction. The Korean women, how
ever, like their sisters in other parts
OF the world, devised a plan by which
they might fustrate the enemy. They
donned their husbands long white
garments with the wide sleeves, and
gathering together, marched boldly to-
ward the foe, who, appalled, by the
sight of such an unexpected force OF
Koreans, fed In haste, and the city
was saved. When the army returned
and 1t was made known what the wom-
en- had done, It was decreed that there
after they should wear mems sleeves
hanging from their wells as a mark OF
honor and a badge Of their bravery in
the national crisis. Even more I'M
comfortable than the wells must be the
massive headdress Of the woman who
acts as bridesmaid at a Korean we'd
ding. The rules Of iron-clad Korean
etiquette demand that she shall be
dressed in this way, so no one thinks
Of questioning the custom. Huge
masses of false hair-"switches," as
We call them-are piled in a fantastic
way on the unfortunate woman's head
till a wonderful effect is obtained.

A Commercial Proposition.
If Mr.. Marconl can fulfill his prom

in the commercial world! The mil

1t not only costs millions to manu-
facture and lay cables across the At

costs hundreds of thousands of dol

sion all the time, and they find con-
tinually something to do in the way Of
repairs on the great oceanic telegraph
lines. Repairing a cable is a work Of
skill, science and money. A defect in
the cable having been located by means
known to the telegraph experts, the
cable ship steams away to the part Of
the ocean where the difficulty is and
drags for the cable with It's graphing
irons. When finally the cable is picked
up the repairs are made and it Is again
deposited upon the oozy bed Of the

of Pennsylvania. The purpose of the
organization is TO provide and main

and those dependent upon them, and

are held by them to be the cause OF a
majority Of the unhappy, ll-kept homes
and neglected children, the society be-
lieves the members have a right to use
every possible mean to see that their
homes ar not neglected. A member
who corrects his wife by beating her
must do so only after all other means

failed. The society pays for the de-
tense Of it's members when arrested for
wife beating, and in case Of conviction
pays the fine.

body is driven out of the galleries, eli.
gars are generally produced by the
smokers and it is not long before the
air Is thick with smoke. Most OF the
senators smoke good cigars and plenty
Of them. After a session when the
doors are opened there is generally a
smoky atmosphere and once in a while
a senator forgets to throw his cigar
away. There have been timeE, too.
when a thirsty senator has had a little

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from a mothers neglect TO
properly instruct her daughter 4
Tradition says woman must suf-
fer" and young women are so taught.
There is a little truth and a great deal
Of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment, and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for examina-
ton but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.

Mrs. August Pfalzgraf, Of South
Byron, Wis, mother of the young lady
whose portrait we here publish, wrote
Mrs. Pinkham in January, 1899, saying
her daughter had suffered for two
years with irregular menstruation-
had headache all the time, and pain in
her side, feet swell. and was generally
miserable. Mrs. Pinkham promptly
replied with advice, and under date Of
March, 1899, the mother writes again
that Lydia r. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound cured her daughter Of all
pains and i~rregularity.
