A Congressional Philosopher.
From the Chicago Record.

Representative Hamilton, of Niles,
Mich, recently made speech in the House
which contained great deal of wit and a
good deal of wisdom 1t is full of epigrams
that are worthy both of Solomon and the
editor of the ''Ginger Jar" department of
the Chicago Record. Here are few
samples:
s'There are many asses in gold harness.
There is no doubt that the dust from
the wheels of some peoples carriages is
more annoying than that of others.
''Human nature is about the same in
It's fundamental outlines from dollar day
up"
''Let us not be self-righteous because
we are hard up.
e'There is really no piety in being
poor.
''To pull down and destroy enterprise
gives no man day work except the agi-
tator and the demagogue. "
MANY people mistake envy for political
economy
"There will probably never come time
when the moral regeneration Of mankind
can be accomplished by legislation. =
GA Bible class and the Committee of
Ways and Means have few points of re-
semblance.
''The legislative oath of Office actually
performs no supernatural function, confers
no mantle of wisdom or prophecy, although
some gentlemen seem to suspect this of
themselves
1.-THE laborer never received higher
wages for shorter days than now; never
went home to a better home than the
American home; never was better fed and
better clothed than now, and never had
more time and opportunity for reading and
mental development than now.
Neither can it be denied that every
thing in our markets, from pin to a loco
motive, from a pair of shoes to suit of
clothes, has more Of grace and is more
scientifically fitted to human needs than
ever before.
"If the law should undertake to keep
prices down for the benefit of buyers, it
ought to keep them up for the benefit of
Sellers and, inasmuch as every citizen is
seller, as well as a buyer, he illustrates in
his own proper person the impossibility of
such law
''God made man different here, and
hereafter we are told the difference will be
still more marked. -
Olives and Lazarus left many descend
ants and in the whirling years the rich
have begged and beggars have become rich.
Care can never be legislated out of the
world, nor happiness be legislated into the
world -

Choate's Winning Reply.
From the Saturday Evening Post.

From the Saturday Evening Post.
'sThat reminds me, laughed the Sena-
tor, tof claim that was once interested
in, an when it had dragged along, and
finally looked as if it would fail, and finally
did fail before the Comptroller, | carried it
to the Supreme Court and got Joe Choate
to come down and argue it for me. Well,
the day that Choate made his argument
the Comptroller, of course, was present to
represent the Government, and Choate was
firing away in his usual brilliant fashion,
and was making strong, clear showing
and claiming everything under the sun for
our side, when one of the Justices inter
rupted him and asked
I" IF this claim is as clear as your argu.
ment and your brief would show, why has
it come before this Court ?
q Why, your Honor, replied Choate
with all the suavity of manner of which he
is possessed to an unusual degree, it has
been brought before this honorable body
because, and here he swept his eyes
over the Comptroller, "a small headed
tack, and he measured off on his finger an
infnitesimally small space, got into the
wheels of Government and clogged them,
hence
And the Senator finished with hearty
laugh at the recollection of that claim, and
we laughed with him.
i'Did the Court laugh?' asked |.
No, but there was suspicious twitch
ing of faces and a restless movement among
them which betrayed that the poiLt was
not lost upon them. Neither was the case
lost, wound up the Senator.

BIGGEST AND LITTLEST.
Two Extremes in Diamonds, Men,
Steamships and Other Objects.
From the Louisville Courier Journal.

From the Louisville Courier Journal.
The biggest diamond IN the world is
the great Gobind gem, which weighs
nearly $50 carats, is as big as an average
inkstand, and worth about $3.50, 600
Three murders and countless intrigue
and robberies have had it for their objec
1t now belongs to the Rajah of Futteh-
pore The smallest diamond on earth can
Just be seen with the naked eye A mi
croscope shows it TO be of perfect water
and brilliancy, and its actual market value
is about cent as diamond. As curl
osity, however, it is worth S75.
The biggest man in the world is Brenni,
the Swiss giant There are several Swiss
giants, but Brenni overtops them all with
his height of 8 feet Z inches, and he is a
big man in proportion. His clothes cost
him S75 per suit, and he cannot get into
an ordinary railway carriage. His oppo-
site-the smallest man alive-is Metruski,
the little Hungarian, who is just under 3
feet high. He can get into the clothes of
an ordinary large doll, and feel small in
them. He makes more money than his
bic rival, making SO, 900 year as a
''lreak, while the giant Brenni only gets
Sc. 900. He is accomplished, is much
stronger in proportion than the giant and
will probably last longer.
The hugest steamship ahoat just now is
the Celtic Her coal bunkers alone would
hold regiment, and she makes the At
lantic passage no more than ferry ride
The tiniest steamship on earth, which will
carry human being, is the Thresher
She is eight feet long, decked in, and just
carries one man, provided he sits still.
Her engines are smaller than the works of
a grandfather clock, and any part of
them can be reached with the hands while
sitting at the wheel. Her coal bunkers
are about the size of valise.
Among living things the most vast is a
whale called the rorqual, who reaches the
length Of leo feet when grown up, and has
teeth longer than man leg. He meas
ures 40 feet around the place where his
waistecoat would be, if he had one, aud
he can move through the water at the rate
of 40 miles an hour. He gets through a
ton of fish and other food per day when in
robust health, to say nothing of seal or
tive. The littlest thing man has discov-
cred in the world, SO far, is a microbe
called the thexus, of which 100,0 can
find standing room on the head of needle
without crowding each other, and as for
what the creature eats it is too small Tor
the human brain to grasp.
There is book called the Worthy
Bible, which is the biggest thing of the
book kind in one volume ever yet pro
duced. 1t is 0 feet square and 2 feet
thick, and contains 80, 900 pages. One
may put alongside this monster the tiniest
piece of literature ever published-an edl-
ton of Hamlet which is quarter of
an inch square, contains so pages, all
printed with perfect clearness, and needs
an expensive magnifying glass to read it.

Boiled Eggs.
From the New York Evening Post.

From the New York Evening Post.
No housekeeping tradition dies so hard
in the face of scientific cooking school en-
lightenment as that which relates to the
boiling of eggs. A soft boiled egg, ac-
cording to nine cooks out of ten, is put on
in boiling water and allowed to remain
from two to two and half minutes. Eggs
intended to be hard boiled also go in boil
ing water, and stay from ten to fifteen
minutes. The new reading has changed
all this The modern cooking teacher says
that when the water is allowed to boil the
egg is tough, horny and indigestible.
To cook eggs soft, she further explains,
they must be put in cold water, which is
brought to temperature of 175 degrees
Fahrenheit, and allowed to stand in this
water from six to eight minutes. For hard
boiled eggs, put in cold water, bring to
175 degrees Fahrenheit, then set back
from the fire and keep hot forty-fve min
utes. Cooked in this way the albumen is
reduced to jelly like substance, easily di-
gested, and the yolks are dry and mealy.

Now doth the
Festive
Summer waist appear upon
The scene.
In every shade
From white TO red, and
Hundreds in between:
1t dazzleth every manly eye,
And stretcheih
Every neck.
And maketh am m'rnuS fellows

As down the street IN glad array
Fiir Doris lightly trips,
A vision rare
From ankle neat TO
Dainty finger tips;
And there are
Hosts of others-all most
GeefulIy parade,
With some in stripes
And some in plaids aud some
In checks arrayed,
And some are silken, some
Are wool, some linen,
Some pique,
And cen the flannel and
Nearsilk are seen
In the array;
And some do blaze like
Goals Of fire, while some are
Verdant quite,
And every shade of
Yellow, brown, blue, red, green, is in sight;
And thus, when warming zephyrs
Kiss the early-leafing
Tree the streets
Become kaleidoscopes
Of femininity;
And marvel of all marvels! Each
Bright damsel feels that she
Doth wear by far the
SWEETEST waist
Ofall
That company!
Al madens love the
Summer waist, the waist of
Giddy hue; and
Laddes love to love the maids, who
Love this loving, too!

To maidens sweet, encased

vegetables in piles without regard to guam

weight. 1t costs too much trouble. If a

the butcher he wants some meat, and he
gets chunk, pays the price and goes home

And not having objected to the question they were not entitled to have the re- sponsive answer, viz, 'I played cards for it." excluded. And, moreover, this evidence of Fay had a tendency to em- phasize his testimony that defendants were not concerned in the renting of the room, and thus rather to benefit than to injure them. in rebutting other evidence before the jury going to show that all the party, including defendants, were concerned in renting the room. That they were all so concerned was a per tinent fact on this trial as tending to prove the connection of the defendants with the crimes committed at the oil eompanys office.
 Certainly there are parts of the opin- ion in ex parte Kettle (5S Ala 26S) prop CT to be read by counsel in argument on a trial such as this was. The whole of that opinion was read ir argument by States counsel to the jury. and as a whole 1t was objected to. The court committed no error in overriding the objection thus made.
 We think it was proper to be gotten be- fore the jury that Adams and Kirkley had information in a general way of oc- currences at the oil company's place when they arrested the defendants. Their then knowledge on that subject would seem to be a part of the imme- diate environment of the homicide giv- ing color to the acts of the officers. But apart from this, the fact that Weir had informed the officers about what had occurred out there could not have preJ- udiced the defendants on this trial Code, 43S3
 In the foregoing opinion all the points treated of in the brief of appellants counsel are either expressly discussed or covered by general propositions. Many exceptions were reserved to the admission in evidence of responsive an- swers to questions which were not ob- jected to. These exceptions are, of course, unavailng. In many other in- stances there were objections to ques- tions which were not followed by the reservation of exceptions to adverse rul- ings of the court upon the objections. This was also abortive to present any sAuestion for review For the rest-ex- captions which were properly reserved, but which are not discussed by counsel the court has examined and considered them en banc, and found them to be so without merit as that a discussion of them would serve no good purpose.
 We find no error in the judgment, and it must be affirmed; and the day TOT the execution of the defendant Miller having passed, this court fixes Friday, the 18th day of June, 1901, for the execu- tion of the sentence of death imposed upon said Frank Miller.

New York's Wealth in Ancient Bibles

From MunSey'S Magazine.
 New York considering that she set out with the incontestable disadvantages of beginning her collection of old Bibles somewhat later than the cities of EuropN has accumulated a surprising number. Of Mazarin Bible, Gutenburg's first edi-l tion, there are in New York seven-more than in any other one city in the world. Besides the one in the General Theolog- ical Seminary there is one at the Lenox Library. Mir. Robert Hoe owns two, one on parchment and one on paper. Mir. John Pierpont Morgan has two-or. more accurately, one and half, having the complete edition and an Old Testament. MT. James Ellsworth has the seventh. Of other rare editions of printed Bibles and examples of beautiful manuscripts there are many. The private library of pr Vladimir Simkhovitch of the Colum- bia Library staff contains many exquisite "books of hours and old Bibles

JEWETT USED A BEER GLASS.
He is Charged With Third Degree
Assault on a Visitor-Hap-
pened at the Street Fair.

The charge against Charles Jewett last
night for his attack upon visitor Case
in the German" at the Street Fair and
Carnival grounds was changed this
morning from simple assault to assault
IN the third degree and Jewett held at
the Jail. Jewett pleaded not guilty this
morning to the first charge and his bond
was fixed at $50, but the more serious
charge was made against the accused
rcan before he could be released on the
bond which his friends wanted to put
up in his behalf.
It is claimed by the visitor that he
was attending the show in the German
village last night and that while stand
ing in the isle Jewett, who was waiting
on the tables shouted "gang-way." Be-
fore he could move Mr.. Casey states
the waiter swung on his nose and then
attacked him with a beer glass; He
thought that the waiter was possibly
connected with a gang of toughs whom
he suspected Of picking pockets so he
was cautious when the waiter told him
to move. He did not shift his
position as rapidly as Jewett desired and
the attack followed. The crowd in the
German rushed upon the waiter and but
for the pleading of the injured man
to permit the courts to settle with the
fellow trouble would undoubtedly have
followed in which the employee could not
have escaped with honors.
A number of strangers were at the
police station today and appeared very
anxious to have Jewett released from
custody. When the bond was raised
and the more serious charge preferred
against the waiter they seemed quite crest
fallen.
