Senators Are Not Bound by the Rules
Thev Make

A senator is supreme lord and master
when within senatorial precincts. There
ere rules Of the Senate. made by himself,
or with his concurrence, and a horde of
employees is maintained to enforce them, but
the senator himself may violate them be-
fore the eyes of 4 hundred employees whose
business it is to enforce them on Others
and he will never even be reminded of his
infringement.
If visitor were to enter the Senate wing
OF the Capitol with lighted cigar he would
at once be told that smoking is absolutely
forbidden. If by ignorance or thoughtless-
ness he were to produce cigar in smoul-
doring condition in the Senate lobby there
would be CONSERVATION on the part of the
Senate employees Until the offending weed
we're disposed Of and if by any chance ne
were to place 1t between his lips and send
forth cloud Of smoke, what would happen
car only be SurmiSed. The rule is SO well
known that no one has within the memory
OF man seen such speciality. Guardians
OF good manners about the Senate can see
smoke or smell tobacco at a distance that
would surprise those who have never seen
an exhibition of their skill. AS a rule .sena-
tors are very careful to observe their own
rules. but If they should violate them they
are not reminded of their shortcomng. a
few days ago senator very prominent in
his party went into the waiting room that
called from the cloak room to see a Wis
itor. and taking a seaot entered into con-
versation. He had been smoking a fra
grant Havana and he had no intention Of
neglecting 1t because OF his change Of To-
cality. To the astonishment OF every one
he blew great clouds of smoke that gave
him the appearance of factory OF some
kind in full operation. AS he talked and
smoked he attracted general attention be-
cause OF the unusual scene he made.
why don't you stop that man from
smoking here"' one Of the guardians was
asked.
Hes senator and he can do what he
pleases. so far as I'm concerned" came the
prompt reply.
A dozen or more ladies were In the wait
ing room, and OF all places In the Capitol
that was the most sacred against the desc
Grafton Of vile tobacco smoke but the seE
ator smoked on. Had the exhibition gone
en- much longer 1t Is probable the commit
tee on rules might have taken cognizance
OF the infringement Of the rules bu. no
one else apparently cared to even remind
a senator that his actions fell short Of he
standard established by the Senate.

Some Quinine Data,
From the New York Press.


The druggist on the next corner charges
10 cents for a dozen two-grain capsules OF
quinine. The one In the middle Of the block
charges cents. Both are 'cut-rate''
houses. Now let's see. An ounce Of quiz
nine costs the dealer 81 cents. Each
ounce contains 4S0 grains. sufficient for $40
two-grain capsules, or 20 dozen, sold over
the counter for $1.4O to $2 Capsules cost
20 cents a pound, and there are enough In
a pound to contain many ounces OF qui-
nine. The auinine the druggist sells for 81
costs him Capsules included) 30 cents. He
Is making. therefore, a profit Of over 500
per cent on what Is actually a household
necessity.
1t Is no exaggeration to say that quinine
Is a staple. In numerous localities it is
eaten regularly as food Men and wo-
men pour 1t into the palm of the hand and
toss 1t down their throats. Ohio and Flor
ida-my, my! The government might regu-
late the price, as the English government
does in India. where quinine is more neces-
sary than meat. Quinine is sold at every
rural post office in India at the rate of
FIVE grains for a farthing. That Is, 10
grains for a cent or 4S cents an ounce, re-
tail. In Bengal alone 1,44O,OOO five-grain
packets are sold annually. The govern
ment used to import $3.50 600 worth of quiz
nine every year, but Lieut.. Col. King, sup
erintendent Of the Royal Botanic Gardens
in Calcutta, has introduced its cultivation
In India and there are now 600 GOO trees

Russis's Religious Census.

From the London standard
Some further figures have been published
of results obtained at Russia's first census
of four years ago. They relate to the SUBJ
ject, especially interesting at the present
time Of the distribution of religious beliefs
in the empire. Taking the sum total as
one hundred and twenty-five millions and
a half-that is excluding Finland-some-
thing under 20 per cent are entered as OF
the Orthodox faith. nearly 10 per cent are
Roman Catholics and AZ per cent are Jews.
Mohammedans count nearly 10 per cent OF
the total Protestants number nearly per
cent, and various recognized Christian sects
make up the sum- Considering that under
the heading OF orthodox are entered the
schismatics Of the State Church who left
the fold In the days Of the Patriarch Nixon,
and were unable to rejoin, as they desired
a few years ago. because the evidence OF
the finding of incorruptible remains at
Chernigov did not inspire them with the be-
lief they hoped for, and that enormous
numbers of all kinds of sectaries ,andoubted-
" entered themselves as orthodox In order
to escape possible unpleasant consequences.
the figures are revelation as to the state
OF the Russian Greek Church at the present
day. Making allowance for all these con-
aiderations. 1t Is not. too much to say that
in all probability not much over one-half
the total population Of the empire Of Russia
belongs to the Russian Greek Church.

IL no mysterious and indignant lady had
been present.
by the way he suddenly asked. aren't

A general laugh, and AL Jenkins-the tall

I'VE came to bring the invitation.
"Oh! see! All right. then. But the
young lady over there is not going to ride
back to Yellowbanks on horseback"
In low, but infiexibly determined voice
the answer came from the one remaining
hooded form:
THE young lady is going to ride back to
feliowbanks on horseback. She is going to
mount and start as soon the young gen.
utnen have had their refreshments"

Bernhardt's Struggle With English.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
After a determined effort lasting over
period Of months. Sarah Bernhard has
given up trying to learn English. All her
brilliant talent was not sufficient to give
her mastery over or even fair proficiency In
the composite language. Nine. Bernhardt al
first attempted the task without aid. but
soon found 1t was more difficult than she
had imagined. Then she secured as tutor
an American actress. The latter worked
long and faithfully with the tragedienne.
whom to her amazement, she found a stu
pid pupil. Bernhardt tried very hard, but
1t was no use. One day in a fine frenzy
she called upon the gods to destroy Shake
speare and all his works. and declared
most forcibly and with emphasis that she
would have no more to do with English.

AUSTRALIAN MINE TRICKS.

In a recent case in which a certain mine
