to Various Scents.

Science at present shows tendency
to turn back to some of the beliefs of
the ancients regarding scents. Cen
turtles ago scents were accounted more
than Injuries. Pliny records So rem

roses, % from lilies, bulb and bloom,

the violet cure for cancer is among
the very new things that surface sci
ence scorned because they were so
very old.
Now, say various experts, one must
choose and use perfumes with an eye,
or, rather, a nose, to health. So it is
worth while to set down the proper
ties attributed to various perfumes.
Pure violet essence is said to be espe-
cially suitable to nervous people. But
it must be obtained from the flowers
themselves, not the chemical imita-
tions.
True flower scents are obtained by
three ways-frst, by spreading fresh
blossoms upon glass thickly smeared
with pure grease, letting them stand
in the sun, and as they wither replac-
ing "hem until the grease is as fra.
grant as the flowers; second, by re.
peatedly infusing fresh petals in oil
and, third, by infusing them in ether
which is then distilled to dry solid
After all the scent possible has beer

fragrant enough to make the very

The other night she made decided
sensation at the Savoy hotel by APP
pearing in a very smart frock blazing
with all the Kuch Behar crown Jewels,
valued at nearly So, 100000, which were
presented to her by the rajah.
This came to the ears of the maha-
raiah who forthwith visited Edna and,
according to the New York World, de-
manded that she restore the gems,
which, besides being of immense value,
are crown property, and it is not in
the power of anyone, not excepting
himself, to give them away.
Kuch Behar is a native state of Ben
gal, India, a trife larger than Rhode
Island, very fertile and, like most In
dian states, very rich.
1t has a population Of about 600, 900
persons.
The maharaiah, or sovereign, is en-

party from enacting free trade meas
ures several times, although he was
one of a small minority of that party.
In order to take from Mr.. Randall that
power, the committee on appropria-
tions was deprived of control over the
appropriations for pensions, the army,
the navy, rivers and harbors, public
buildings and grounds, and other i'm
portant government affairs. The bills
making appropriations for these va
rious purposes were given to separate
committees, and there began the era
of extravaganza in appropriations.
So long as all appropriations were
controlled by one committee the total
expenditures of the government were
kept down to about $780, 1000, 900 annual

when separate committees were given
power to make appropriations, each
committee looked at its own work as

ately the total appropriations began
to increase. With this example of eX-
travagance before them the senators
divided their great committee on APP

after her and caught her just as she
staggered uncertainty and father and
child fell with deafening crash to the
hall below. The father rose to his feet
sobered in an instant. but his child lay
motionless a pitiful little white heap
before him. The mother had heard the
noise from her work in the kitchen
and in an instant was kneeling beside
her little girl calling on her to speak
and on God for mercy. She looked up
into the face of her husband with dry
eyes, too crushed to weep. "You have
killed her!" she said, very slowly, as
one dazed and unconscious of what she
was saying. "You have killed my darl-
ing!" And picking the little one up in
her arms she hurried to the adjoining
bedroom and laid her on the bed. Then
throwing herself down, beside her
child, she wept.
1t was all too true. Nevermore the
little feet would run on loves errands,
nor the merry voice make sweet music.
The feet were quiet forever, and the
music of her voice was quiet in death.
For moment the father stood stu
pefied, then going to the old secretary
in the sitting-room he took from the
bottom drawer revolver that had not
been used for years. Examining it
carefully to see if it was loaded, he put

DUTY OF THE PEOPLE
They Should Look Closely Into Rec
ords of Congressman,
In No Other Way Can the Nation Sc
cure an Absolutely Pure and
Equitable Administration
of nzbIic Affairs.
Especial washington letter.


THE people of this government are
proud of their government, but
they know very little about it.
The public schools ought to give in
structions concerning municipal, coun-
ty, state and federal governments. As
it is, even the school teachers them
selves know very little concerning the
government; and not more than one
tenth of them could even tell you how
a member of the national senate is
elected.
Not only are the people in compare
tive ignorance about their govern
ment; but, strange as it may seem,
the average member of the house of
representatives knows very little about
national legislation. The people are
careless, and. to be plain about it, they
are shamefully careless, about the Sc
lection of their congressman and other
Office holders. On this account the
government for many years has been
partly in the hands of politicians who
care nothing for the people, but seek
only their own glory and enrichment.
In your own congressional district
you do not know 20 men who are per-
sonally acquainted with your member
of congress, unless you happen to
mingle with politicians, and the aver
age readers of newspapers will not be
found mixing with politicians. In a gov
eminent of the people, by the people
and for the people every citizen ought
to know all about his government, and
all about the man or men who seek Off
cial position. If every citizen would
take such an interest in public affairs
as he ought to do our government
would be purer, and it would be more
economical. The people have no idea
how many millions of dollars are taken
from them in taxation and expended
recklessly. 1t is their own fault when
they are over-governed, because they
are unmindful of their duty to them
selves, by being careless concerning the
details of government.
When you hear man making a
fervid stump speech on the questions
of the day, just bear in mind that the
average public speaker is looking for
dupes, and that he wants you to be
one of his victims. He is making
speeches, not for his health, nor solely
for the good of his country. He is do
ing it for his own benefit, and he ex-
poets you to support him on account
of his gift of CAB" That will be a
new way of looking at it, to some read
ers; but it is a gospel truth. The
writer has been associated with poll
ticians for more than a quarter of a
century, and as the years have gone
gliding into history his regard for pro.
fessional politicians has grown less and
less; because of increasing acquaint-
ance with their motives and their man
ner of living.
When you elect member of congress
you give him position paying $1,000
q year, for two years. Naturally, you
expect him to work hard for that big
salary, but the average congressman
does not work at all. The government
gives him private secretary, with a
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1902-07-03

salary of 500 month; and the pri-
vate secretary does all of the neces-
sary work. The congressman signs
letters to his constituents which the
private secretary has written, and that
is the hardest work that the average
congressman does for his people.
There are 357 members of the ma
tional house of representatives and
not more than 25 or 80 of them have
anything to do with legislation. The
others are mere followers. Wherever
their party leaders tell them to go
they go. They do not initiate legisla-
ton of any kind. They leave all things
to committees appointed by the speak
er, and they vote as they are told to
vote on the passage of bills. Because
of this condition of affairs the govern
ment has been growing less worthy dur
ing the last quarter of a century, and
extravaganza has grown until it has
become reprehensible. 1t is not an ex-
travagant statement that hundreds
of millions &C money have been taken
from the people by taxation, and ap-
propriated unwisely. 1t would not be
fair to say that the government has
grown corrupt because of its unwise
appropriations of the peoples money.

cratic member Of the national house

Mrs. Wentworth had a secret dread
of the first day of May when tn;
saloons were to be opened, but she
said nothing and kept up a stout
heart. But Jack never wavered. He
stood by his guns like a good sol
der, and so the spring slipped into
summer, and summer into autumn
and love and reason were still upon
the throne.
As l sat with the mother in the
coy little sitting-room that night
and saw the two lovely children,
l realized, as never before, how much
difference it made to have the father
sober and industrious.
Il have almost forgotten what fear
is" she said, with happy light in her
eyes. Il used to worry great deal at
first, and especially last May when the
saloons were opened again. If men
could only know how some other men
are tempted by an open saloon, no
amount of money would hire them to
vote yes"
The two little heads at her knee were
drOwsy with sleep, and the mother put
them to bed, returning presently to
finish our conversation.
Jack is the best of husbands" she
went on. He seems to be trying to
atone for those few years of unhap-
piness he gave me. But forgave him
long ago. l love him too well''-she
paused with a sudden start. and look
of fright swept over her face. Some
one was coming up the stairs with the
shutting, uncertain, laundering of a
drunken man. My heart stood still as
Mrs. Wentworth went to the door and
opened it with feverish terror. "My
God! my God! It's my Jack! It's my
Jack! o Jack! Jack! Jack! What
shall I do? My God! what shall I do?"
The next day 1 learned the whole
story. Some fiend in human shape had
induced him to just taste the quality
of little flask of French brandy. He
yielded. Like a roaring and ravenous
wild beast. the old appetite aroused'it-
self and insisted on being gratified,
and before ten o'clock that night Jack
Wentworth was drunk as ever he had
been.
Most of the next day he lay in a
drunken stupor, but toward night,
when nearly sobered, he aroused him
self and sneaked out of the back door.
He was fearfully Inundated. He dared
not look his sweet wife in the face; he
dared not ask forgiveness, though he
knew it might be had for the asking,
and even without it; but while he hung
his head in shame the old appetite
clamored for appeasal. Again it was
his master; again he yielded, and again
he came along home drunk.
As he went in at the door his little
girl ran screaming from his presence.
