An interesting and significant bit of
feminine criticism was overheard in the
Senate gallery one day shortly before nd
journment Of the session. Senator Vest
had just tottered from his seat to the
cloakroom. on the arm of the faithful
"Uncle Jimmy Edwards; Senator Haw
ley had tried unsuccessfully to push open
the door leading ont of the Senate cham
Der with his failing strength; Senator
Hanna had gone hobbling down another
nisle leaning heavily on his cane and
Senator Plat Of New York had gone tod
ding 10 his seat, shaking with the palsy.
A woman In the gallery who had noticed
all these infrmities turned to friend end
exclaimed: Mercy, ] should think this
ought to be called the Old Mems Home
instead Of the Senate Of the United
States"

AS result of the war in the Philip
pines the armies of the civilized world
may have a new implement of warfare.
The bayonet now carried by American
soldiers is practically of no value, and
many officers think that it Is simply load
ing down the soldiers with useless weight
to make the bayonet part Of his equip
ment. But the bolo used by the Filipinos
has commended itself to many officers as
a sensible weapon. and on the recommen-
dation OF these officers Gen. crozier, chief
of ordnance. has had made fifty bolo bay
onets. which have been issued for expert
mental purposes. This bolo bayocet has
two cutting edges, like the native weapon,
and is much more formidable than the
present service bayonet. The more pro-
grcssive officers advocate abandoning the
bayonet, as they point out that the day
of the bayonet charge is over and there
will be no more hand-to-hand fighting.

The adjournment of Congress was fol-
lowed by very rapid exodus of Con
gressmen Engagements to make Fourth
of July speeches took many OF them
away, but anxiety to get in touch with
the voters at home and explain this and
that measure and their votes thereon Is
the chief reason why few of them lin
gered. The political pot in Washington,
however, never ceases Its boiling, and
this year the fire under il win be kept es-
pecially hot. The con sressional elections
next November are looked upon as Il
sort of barometer that will indicate what
kind of political weather is likely to pre-
vail in 1904. Both of the congressional
campaign committees will have headquar-
tiers in Washington. and there will be
many more Congressman in town during
the summer months this year than usual.
All OF the leaders will make periodical
visits and the lesser lights will drop in
at frequent intervals to recast their horo-
scopes and 70 g,t their confidence on
straight again.

President Roosevelt has a map which
would make the study OF geography a
Joy to any school boy. Twenty feet
long and eight feet high, II covers an en-
tire wall in White House office, and
represents the entire world. Different
colors show at a glance the possessions
of the twelve powers, with a character Of
their principal cities. Submarine cables,
railroads, steamship lines, mail routes
are all distinctly traceable. The naval
and military forces of all nations are in
dicated by miniature flags. Those repre-
senting the United States bear the names
of commanders, and are readily shifted
as the forces move from place to place.
The cavalry artillery and infantry Are
represented by flags of their respective
eolors, yellow, red and white, giving the
number of the regiment and the letter
of the troop. battery OF company. Even
the smallest hospital corps is marked by
a tiny red cross. Ships OF every class are
shown by red, white and blue flags bear
ing the name of each and the number Of
her guns.
