Oliver Hazard Perry Belmont was
the first representative to appear in
the house with a new spring suit Of
clothes. It was a check worsted
which Representative Dick said was
louder than the speech which Rhea
of Kentucky was delivering at the
time. The members crowded about
Mr.. Belmont and offered congratu.
lations on his quiet attire. He took
their gibes good naturally until one
of them said:
'I believe that suit makes more
noise than Belmont's red automo-
bile when it is going down Pennsyl-
vania avenue, and the automobile
sounds like a. machine gun in ac-
ton"
'ENow, see here" rejoined the New
York city congressman testify,
"these clothes ale mine, and I am
wearing them"
The other representatives moved
away at this sign Of i'll temper and
talked of introducing a resolution
to the effect that the millionaire's
clothes disturbed the deliberations
of the house.-Cor. Chicago News.

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
An Instructive Collection For a Boy
to Make.

Every boy at some time or other
of his life has probably collected
birds eggs, but a collection of wish
bones or merry thoughts is
unique.
Have our young readers ever seen
such collection or thought of it, or
that there is a connection between
birds eggs and the wishbones or the
skulls Of the birds that laid the
eggs, and that it is interesting to
study the two together? One learns
from them a good deal about ele-
mentary anatomy. In many muse
ums collections of birds skeletons
lie beside the eggs.
A deal box vanished and about
Is by Is inches and 6 inches deep is
very suitable size and will hold at
least 100 eggs and as many wish
bones. It must be fitted with a
glass, sloping downward from the
back, so as to give greater depth for
the larger eggs. The eggs may be
arranged in rows, marked out by
wooden partitions, with trays one
above the other. If the collection
grows to any size, a mahogany cabi-
net may be provided, and if such a
case with its ivory white wishbones
or skulls and eggs, Systematically
and neatly arranged, each with its
appertaining eggs, were sent to the
county fair it would certainly carry
off a premium.

A Rainy Day Money Maker.

The New York Times tells of a
boy who makes money on rainy
days by furnishing protection from
the rain to persons caught out with
out umbrellas. As soon as school
is out on a rainy day he takes his
umbrella to the foot of the stairs
leading up to one of the elevated
railway stations, and as people come
down the stairs he offers to them
the use of his umbrella at the rate
of three blocks for cents for one
person. He makes quite neat lit
tie sum every rainy day. He says
he could make more money If he
could supply rubbers,

A Glance at the Future.

Professor Collins, Pennsylvania
scientific agriculturist, some time
ago was recommending to a Berks
county farmer a powerfully fertiliz-
ing manure in which he was inter
ested. After some discussion the
sagacious farmer declared that he
had no faith in the manure, as the
proposed quantity was too small to
be of any use.
'My dear sir" said the professor,
"such are the wonderful discoveries
in science that / should not be sur
prised if in the near future we carry
the manure for acres of land to the
field in the pocket Of our coat"
"That may be So" replied the
farmer, "but in that case I'm inclin-
ed to think you would carry back
the crop in the pocket of your vest !"
