EFT Reed, formerly speaker Of the house,
died = few minutes after midnight, but |
it was not until twelve minutes after
the honr that Or. Gardner, who has
had charge OF the case from the begin

the room to the office that the end had
come.
The direct cause Of Mr.. Reeds death
was uraemia, otherwise known as acute
Bright.s disease. This developed in q
marked degree on Tuesday; then on
! Wednesday,, after the patient had been
suffering for two days from Unfair
ton Of the appendix.
AT no time since nraemc poisoning
became evident has Mr. Reed been out
Of danger. although it was hoped that
extreme measures, such as saline solu-
tions for action. on the kidneys and
oxygen to stimulate 1.-THE heart, might
enable him to pass the crisis.
These were administered ait various
times during the day, and altogether
three quarts of the solution were used
since $50 yesterday morning. is
Realizing that the case had become
very desperate, Dr.. w. G. Goodnow, a
noted uraemic specialist OF Philadel-
phia, was telegraphed, and last night
i he was for the second time in consul

Reports say that society in Wash

Roosevelt in issuing invitations to
the private entertainments at the
white house invariably uses card
which bears the inscription, " Mrs.
Theodore Roosevelt The new de-
parture has shocked society ladies
who for years have been causing
heartaches, by issuing a card which
bore simply their last name, no mi
tial, no address, nothing to Identify
them for a newcomer. Several of the
recent additions to the cabinet circle
were perplexed beyond measure on
account his custom.
The foolish fad, or rather senseless
practice of using only the last name
when speaking or writing of Mrs. so
and so, or of Miss so and so, prevails
not only in what is called high sOcie-
ty circles, but has spread to nearly
every city, village and hamlet in the
land. 1t is nevertheless a foolish fad
which should not be encouraged by
thoss who like good manners, and

No Place to Get Religion.

Booker 7. Washington: AS race
you beat US in thinking but we beat
you in feeling. A negro can feel
more in ten minutes than a white man
can in an hour. We feel religion
and when a man gets converted we ex-
pect him to shout and make a noise
about it. If he does not we are apt to
be skeptical about the genuineness OF
his experience. This trait sometimes
causes awkward situations:
A good Methodist negress once went
to our Episcopal church, where they
gave her a seat in the gallery. AS
the service proceeded her appreciative
emotions were reused and she began
to clap her hands and calculate as she
would have done in her own church.
One of the officers went up to her and
said gently, You re disturbing the
service; please don't make that noise. .
But" she replied, I'm happy
I'm happy! I've got religion."
But" said the scandalized official
This is no place to get religion.

He spoke for the multitude. The Eve

frequently carried to moral lesson
far beyond the reach of ordinary ut
terances of the pulpit. The blemishes
of his style were obvious, but they
helped to gain a hearing for what he
had to say. If Mr.. Talmage had
aimed at preaching perfect sermons,
he might have reached literary heights
which he never attained. He was a
man of large natural ability and no
little force. What he strOve for,
however, was contemporary populari-
ty and this he achieved in a notable
degree. He was not comparable to
Beecher, to Philips Brooks, to Dav-
id Swing, to William Ellery Chan

naries of the American pulpit. He
was a comet rather than a sun or a

Old Senator Nesmith of Oregon, one
Of the first settlers of the state, used
to tell this story: At the time when
Oregon was admitted as q state and
the first legislature of the state met
Nesmith, who was q member, possess
ed himself of a copy of book on par
Iiamentary procedure. This work,
which was at the time probably the
only one of it's sort west Of the Mis-
sissippi, he studied diligently and by
the time Of the first session was well
up in the rules Of debate.
At the first meeting of the new leg
islature a motion was introduced and
speedily carried, but on the second
measure a dispute arose, and for three
days the state legislators wrangled
and debated.
Finally, on the third day, Nesmith,
who had watched the proceedings
without even opening his mouth, de-
cided it was time to use a piece of his
parliamentary procedure, SO he rose
and moved the previous question"
There was a moment of silence fol-
lowing this motion, and then amid a
shout Of deriSiOn the speaker cried:
''Sit down, you fool! We passed the
previous question three days ago"

ship of the Congressional committee.
He gave up the latter. Whether he
did that voluntarily this deponent
saith not because he knoweth not.
However that may be day came
when "Bab" was boss, top OF the
heap, chief muckamuck, like Alexan-
der Selkirk on his desert island, mon
arch of all he surveyed. After weeks
of sore travail the Republican leaders
discovered that without Babcock's
vote the ways and means committee
was a dead tie on the burning issue of
scaling down the Dingley rates 20 per
cent as to importaUions from Cuba.
Immediately Babcock, who was to
have been 8Oundly spanked for heresy
became the most important parsonage
in Washington. Nothing was too
good for "Bab." He was most assid-
uously courted by the beet sugarites
and by the antibeet sugarites. Presl-
dent Roosevelt sent for ''Bab:' like
wise speaker Henderson. Nothing
was too dulcet for "Bab." What
terms he demanded nobody knows;
what promises were made cannot be
told. He finally decided to save the
administration. voted for reduction of
Cuban rates and, let US hope, escaped
the promised spanking.

RATS OF GNAT EGGS.
Their Floating illustrates II Curious
Property of Water.

Many simple experiments show that
the surface of water possesses Il prop
erty which causes it to resist the pas
sage of bodies either from above or be-
low. This is true not only of soapy wa
ter, but of the cleanest and purest wa
ter as we'll. A sheet of fine gauze tends
to float, because, its weight being wide
ly distributed, each of the numerous
separate wires is resisted by the sur
face film SO that the water cannot
readily pass through the meshes.
Insects and plants utilize this fact in
many interesting ways. Some water
plants whose leaves float on the water
have a very simple Continuance to keep
the upper surfaces of the leaves dry
This consists of a great number of mi
mute hairs covering the tops of the
leaves. Water cannot penetrate among
these hairs even when the leaves are
forced down beneath the surface.
The little RATS of eggs that gnats set
afoat on the water are kept from sink
ing and from being upset through this
same principle. The tiny eggs have
their points all upward, and they are
glued together SO closely that, while
there is open space all around the point
of each egg, yet the width of these
spaces is so slight that water cannot
readily pass through. You may again
and again upset such an egg raft, but
it will right itself every time, and the
upper surface will remain dry.
