FIRST PAGE FOR SPEECHES.
Rivalry Among congressman For Il
Good Position In The Record.

Sopu IN h"t
The effort that is constantly being
made to secure the printing of speeches
on the front page Of The Congressional
Record is not generally understood.
Senators and representatives naturally
desire to have their deliverances in
congress receive as much attention as
possible, and there is but one publica-
ton in which they can monopolize the
front page in a display of their
speeches. That one publication is The
Record.
OF course speeches that are printed
in regular order in the debate, APP
pearing on the day after they are de-
livered, are 10 be found only in their
regular place in The Record. But in
the cases Of speeches withheld for re-
vislol there is an opportunity to have
them displayed on the first page of the
official report of the proceedings. This
is merely done by an arrangement be-
tween the senate and house by which
this privilege Is about equally divided.
Senators and representatives who
withhold their remarks for revision
frequently inquire when they can have
the first page of The Record, which is
generally reserved for at least week
ahead.
The general rule is, First come, first
served" In this way those who want
to make their speeches influential will
at times arrange 10 have them on the
first page of The Record on the morn
ing of a day when vote is to be
taken. in order that they may be
brought prominently to the attention
of their fellow legislators just before
they are to take action on the matters
of which they treat. 1t is in the ma
ture of judicious advertisement

an irregular line OF track which con-

spurs has been of undeniable service to
all roads in the development OF their
freight business.
The traffic on sidings is small, on
spurs it is still less, and the displaced
steel rails may be in use on them for
many years.

The quaint tourists are Mr.. E. A.

The family of seven live in one little

The tourists subsist from revenue

Professor Metz was born in Mobile

Professor Metz was born in Mobile,
Alabama, of humble parentage. His
father was a glazier, and for his son
entertained the ambition of making
him butcher. In fact, at the age of
ten the boy was put to work driving a
meat cart. He had other aspirations,
however, and one day went ON board
ship lying at the Mobile wharf, hid
under a small boat, and only came out
of hiding when we'll out at sea. He
was given good trouncing for slowing
away, but became a ships boy and
after a time drifted to New Orleans,
where he abandoned the ocean aad set
up in business.
His business was only selling pies
out of basket which he carried on
his arm. His chief place of sale was
in the old granite custom-house.
From that time he worked and
saved and studied, till within only
few years Che is still young man) he
has shown talents for chemistry and
physics, which landed him in the
chair OF natural science of Tulane
College.
Already he owns the finest private
laboratory in the United States, has a
collection OF gems of the greatest
beauty, q collection of old arms of
unique value, and, being an ardent
musician, he has manufactured with
his own hands flutes and clarionets of
scientific precision beyond any that
the instrument makers OF the world
have turned out.
BY what immense expense of labor
SO much has been accomplished in &c
short time it is impossible to say,
but one thing is certain, it could not
have been accomplished by a man
with less marvellous physique.
Professor Metz, while large, is not
markedly so, but the common deeds of
strong man to tearing entire packs of
cards, bending coins, etc., are ac-
complished by him with ease, and his
unique person, face and attainments,
have won for him the sobriquet of the
necromancer" but his scientific at
tain ments are of the solidest character,
as is shown by his professorship and
his position as State and city chemist.
His lectures on liqued air and on color
photography have been features of the
winters scientific entertainment in
New Orleans.

Several thousand miles of new and
heavier rails are laid every year on
railroads in the United States, and
these renewals are made much oftener
than the actual requirements OF travel
call for them, there being a steady
substitution OF heavy for light rails.
Nearly 80 per cent. Of the track oi
all railways in the United States is
now OF steel. A steel rail will usually
wear out first at the ends, owing to
the wheels bammering over the open
joints. The average life of an iron
rail is six years, of steel rail, IL.
A 4O-pound steel rail-40 pounds to
each yard of length-would be taken
up and replaced by ole 55 pounds;
IS pound rail would be replaced by
one OF 10 pounds. and 7O-pound rail
in turn by one OF IS pounds, perhaps
There is about one such change at the
end of each four years, or three COM
plete displacements of rail during the
time one would serve in use.
This custom, general among Ameri
can railroads, has given rise to the
question: What has become of the
old steel rails, or rather those fol
which others were substituted? Any
railroad man can readily give answer

DON'T WORRY.

famous London doctor, whose consult.
ing rooms were always thronged with
patients, who owed much of his sue
cess to the impressive manner in which
he clasped his patients hands at the
door as they left him, and exclaimed,
"don't worry" Most of them had
been brooding before they came to
him over financial loss or sorrow, or
domestic unhappiness, or ill health,
and they fully intended brooding again
when they left him, but somehow the
dramatic and almost tragic tones in
which the doctor uttered the injunc.
tion made them pause.
"Don't worry" echoed in their ears
as they departed. To fly in the face
OF such solemn injunction seemed
almost like tempting Providence. and
when it comes to the pinch no mortal
being is quite prepared for the worst.
His patients dared not worry. They
longed to, for nothing is more snbtle
temptation than to indulge ones self
in the luxury of gloating over misfor-
tunes and picturing our lots as the
most unhappy of any on earth; but
the doctors warning came as an echo

side OF life. 1t is said that insensibly

We all know that worry drains the
system OF vitality, and that it is the
things that annoy us, instead of the
work we do, that leave us exhausted
when the day is done. Work done
with a light heart never tires us, and
the trouble that we meet with brave
and steadfast courage is already half
conquered. 1t is the grief and misfor-
tunes that we allow ourselves to brood
over that destroy both body and soul.
1t is strange how things grow when
we worry over them. The magic bean
that shot up in the clouds in a single
night is nothing to the phenomenal
growth that q trouble or wrong can
take on if We plant the seed in some
silent hour, and water it with few

consumption. We dig back into our
family history and rake up ancestors

it we are on the brink Of the grave, in
Imagination, at least, and really have
worried ourselves into semi-invalidism.
Possibly we may have some disagree

explanation would clear up, but the
minute we begin to worry over it we
imagine we see deadly insult, and

"Don't worry" These two words
are fine motto for everybody. Peo-

There is no reason for taking life too
