interest of the people was Mr.. Clay's
wish, his own interest is Roosevelts

And what excuse can there be for

Sinister Motives.

Two men-William Jones and John
Smith-were neighbors and deadly en-
emies They often crossed swords in
court and out of it, and Jones, being
what might be called more clever than
Smith, invariably got the better of the
encounter III the end so cowed was
Smith that the slightest move on the
part of Jones made him nervous and
suspicious, and with the remark, Il
wonder what object he has in thisT'
he called up all his reserve faculties to
combat the fresh attack which poor
Jones never contemplated.
One day a friend called on Smith and
greeted him with:
well, old man, have you heard the
news?'
mo" said Smith. "What news?"
"Jones is dead He died last night
at midnight" replied the other.
Smith paused. drew hard breath,
raised his hand to his forehead and
thought, then blurted out:
Dead, did you say = Jones dead?
Great heavens, 1 wonder what object
he has in this?"

BYRON WAS BARRED.

Dean of Westminster Refused to Ac
cept Statue of Poet.
Many years ago some admirers o!
Lord Byron raised n subscription for :
monument to the poet, to be placed il
Westminster abbey. Chantrey was re.
quested to execute it, but on account
of the smallness of the sum subscribed
he declined, and Thorwaldsen wac
then applied to and cheorfully under
took the work.
In about 1888 the finished statue ar
rived at the custom .house in London,
but, to the establishment Of the sub
sciibers, the dean of Westminster, DE-.
Ireland, declined to give permission to
have it set up in the abbey, and, owing
to this difficulty, which proved insur-
mountable, for Dr. Ireland's successor
was of the same opinion, it remained
for upward of twelve years in the Gus
tom house, when QS4G) it was re-
moved to the library Of Trinity col

The Value Of Singing.

From the medical standpoint singing
is a most important exercise both by
virtue of its influence on the emotions,
on the respiratory movements and on
the development Of the lungs. Nothing
better shows the beneficial effect of
singing in developing the chest and
warding off the lung diseases than the
great pulmonary development and free
dom from pulmonary disease among
professional singers. Their general
health moreover, is exceptionally good,
and this is probably in a large meas
ure attributable to the mere exercise
Of the calling. 1t is especially useful
ia defective chest development and in
chronic heart disease. Provided the
patient can sing with comfort there is
no condition in which singing is con-
traindicated unless it be a tendency to
tuberculosis or aneurismal hemoptysis.
1t is scarcely necessary to say that the
singer should be so clad as to allow
absolute freedom Of the chest move
ments, there should be no construction
Of the neck or waist, the collar should
be low and ample and the stays, if
worn, ample and loose.

Why savages Turn In Their Toes.
In the first place, the foot naturally
takes that position when it has never
been confined by boots Or the ankle
distorted by high heels. Convenience
is also on the side of the natural posi-
ton of the foot in the case Of the saw
age, for he has to do much walking
through long grass and underground
in forests. Consequently his progress
would be much impeded if he turned
his toes out to catch these obstacles
instead of brushing them aside and
outward, as he now does. Lastly, the
savage uses his foot much more as a
help to his hands than we do, and it
is obvious that in doing this he must
turn his toes in.

How the Messape Was Received.

Congress devoted its second day OF the
short session to listening to the reading
Of the Presidents annual message The
document was sent to the Capitol at
noon, and before the two branches had
been in session quarter Of an hour the
message was presented and the clerks in
the Senate and House began the reading
The message this year was sent to Con
gress in printed form. Until a year or
two ago it was always customary for the
President to send his message in hand
written form to the legislative branch
but during President McKiney's admin
iStraton a change was made and the
message came to Congress in large, clear
type and finely printed on heavy paper
The new method was heartily approved
by the clerks, for the printed pages were
more easily read by the rsading clerks
and more conveniently handled, not be-
ing SO bulky or numerous
1t took exactly one hour and fifteen
minutes to read the message in the Sen
ate and a little longer time was occupied
in the House, as the clerk there is not
as fast in reading as is the Senate clerk,
and, besides the Senate had few mint
tes' start in the reading, The message be-
ing delivered to the Senate first by AS
