FULTON COUN- Y NEWS.
All OVER The HOUSE.
convenienees For the Tea Drinking
English Ladies.

New designs or notifications in
the line of household conveniences
possess a perennial interest for the
housewife, particularly the alert
American who keeps watch for ev-
orything that will Tighten the work
of the household or is calculated to
add to the convenience or comfort
of the members of the family.
Ingenious as are our Yankee in
,entors, they do not enjoy the COM
pIete monopoly in the way of in
ientiveness. In the land where aft
crnoon tea holds such sway as in
England it is to be expected that
some genius would find way to
make it easy for the tea drinker to
handle his cup of liquid refreshment
and the accompanying biscuit OF
cake at the same time. A little con-
!rivance has been devised which is
attached by means of a clip to the
teacup and a handy and practical
resting place for the cracker, sand
wich, etc, is thus provided. The
yea infuser with its long handle is
another convenience that will ap-
peal to the dispenser of this popular
beverage. Claret and water jugs,
tea and coffee pots, cream and milk
cwers are appearing nowadays in
classic form, and many of the new
designs are copies of old Roman,
Etruscan and Italian patterns. They
are ornamental as well as useful.

Give the People a Chance.

The Chicago News says that il
the Senate refuses to concur ~
the joint resolution relating to The
election OF Senators By the popu
lar vote, it can only be inferred
that they believe an overwhelm-
ing popular demand for it exists,
and that they do not wish to yield
to it. The News points out.
Tosecure the necessary amend.
ment to the constitution, even
though both houses unanimously
favor it, will be difficult matter.
In their efforts TO protect the con.
stitution from rash and i'll cousid-
cred changes the authors of that
document rendered It's amend
ment extraordinarily difficult.
Two-thirds of both houses must
first approve a resolution for
amendment, or else the legisla-
lures of two-t thirds of the States
must apply to Congress to call a
convention to propose amend
ments. Auy amendment approx.
ed either by congress or by con
stitutiOnal convention, must then
be ratified by three-fourths Of the
legislatures of all the States. In
other words, the election of Sen
ators by popular vote can be Sc
cured only by action which could
not be taken unless an overwhelm-
ing majority of the citize II s
throughout the country stood in
favor of it.
The recent history of Senator
ial election contests points up-
mistakably to the need of re.
form. Senators doubtless will
urge that election by legislature
preserves the idea of State sover-
eighty, that the way to check such
abuses as exist in connection with
the pre-, ent method of election is
to secure better legislatures and
that t, take the power of election
away from the legislatures is TO
stamp them with irresponsibility
and still further confirm them in
bad practices. These are ques-
tions which the various States
themselves ought to pass upon.
1t is not to be supposed that the
State legislatures would throw
away one of their most valued
privileges lightly, or without due
consideration of popular feeling.
If the Senators have any good
reason for not submitting this
question to the nation, they should
hasten to make it public.
The press is practically united
in support of the popular election
plan. There can be no question
of the deep interest the people
have in this subject BY concur
ring in the House resolution, the
Senate does not take the respon-
sibility of making a change in the
method of selecting Senators. 1t
simply makes it possible for the
States to act upon it, and it is to
be hoped that this privilege will
not be denied. -Bryan's Com
moner

Fun For the Students.

Professor Max Muller tells this
story of his student days in Ger
many: 81 remember that on one oc-
casion before the introduction of
cabs we hired all the sedan chairs
in Leipsic, with their yellow coated
porters, and went in procession
through the streets, much to the as
tonishment of the good citizens and
annoyance also, as they were unable
to hire any means of conveyance till
a peremptory stop was put to our
fun. Not content with this ex-
plot, when the first cabs were intro
duced into Leipsic, thirty or forty
being put on the street at first, |
and my friends secured the use of
all of them for the day and proceed
cd out into the country. The inhab-
itants, who were eagerly looking
forward to a drive in one of the
new conveyances, were naturally an
noyed at finding themselves fore
stalled, and the result was that
stop was put to such freaks in fu-
ture by the issue of a police regula-
ton that nobody was allowed to
hire more than two cabs at time"

odd Prison sIqn.

On the northwestern end of the
high stone wall that surrounds Mo-
yamensing prison there are painted
in huge letters these words:
"Fiye thousand dollars reward
for the discovery of the man who
invented work"
The sign has been on the wall
for some years, and passersby, when
they perceive it, laugh, for it seems
somehow in its sentiment appropri-
ate to a prison and to the sort of
men who occupy prison cells.--Phil-
ldelphia Record.

Artistic House Furnishing.

The secret of success in artistic
house furnishing is the harmonious
blending of wall and floor covering
with the woodwork rather than in.
discriminate following of the latest
style. For instance, red wall cover
ing is fashionable and combines
most effectively with woodwork in
dusky Flemish oak, but is thorough
ly unsited to golden oak, which
calls for Il dull, soft blue in burlap
or cartridge paper.

The leaves of a plant may be
said to be its lungs. BY the roots
water is taken from the soil laden
with plant food that comes from
the soil. With the plant food in
the water taken up by the roots
and the carbon taken from the air
by the leaves, the living plant goes
to work to prepare food for its
own sustenance by building cells
or walls known as fiber. The sur
plus material is stored in various
ways like the tube of a p otato vine
or in grains. The surplus over
what the plant itself needs for ils
existence, forms hat man md
ani q Il need for food.

But few people care to feed a
calf sour milk and yet the process
of souring is one that has to take
place in the calf's stomach before
digestion can be accomplished.
Many years ago people were not
so much afraid of feeding calves
sour milk as they are now. The
trouble with a good deal of the
sour milk of this day is that when
it sours in milk cans it contains
ptomain and other poisons inju-
rious to calves. A COW does not
feed her calf sour milk, neither
does she feed it skinned milk.

Happiness is the best medicine

anything is wonderful and full of

D. w. Smoke, a prominent farmer

he found in the cows stomach
nineteen large wire fence nails,
thirty-two wire nails of different

ach weighed five pounds. The
physician had pronounced it stom-
