Not I'm the "RecOrd.o

Representative Tawney, who was one of
the most earnest and energetic advocates
of the passage of the cleomargarine bill
and who fought all the attacks and amend
ments presented by the opponents of the
measure, was very much distressed yes
terday morning when he picked up the
Congressional Record" and turned to the
pages where appeared in print the sew
eral speeches which had been delivered
in the House the day before by his favor
lite orator. He found all of his remarks
correctly quoted. but the publication did
not show what the effect of all his ora
tory in behalf of the COW had been. A
careful oerusal of the columns showed
that the editor of the Record" had ne
elected to state for the benefit of his
readers that the oleomargarne bill had
been passed by the House. Mr. Tawney
was sure that it had. for he well remem-
bered the rough and tumble time which
he experienced in guiding the measure
through the House. and he wanted the
official organ of Congress to show that
fact. Accordingly, when the House met
yesterday he called the attention of the
Speaker TO the oversight. and the omis-
sion will he corrected in the file copies

PLAIN QUEEN SOPHIE.

The Queen Of Sweden and Norway is as
little known and talked about as is com
patible with her exalted station in life,
and forms a complete contrast in tins to
her essentially distinguished consort,
whose tall. soldier-like figure, handsome
face and ready wit are familiar to half
Europe. Queen Sophie Wilhelmine, who
is the daughter of the late Duke of Mas
sau and a half-sister of the present Duke
of LuXemburg, married King Oscar forty
five years ago. and bore him four sons,
but no daughter.
Her religious views are of that per-
fervd description which, in this country.
at least, we associate with poke bonnets
and tambourines. Her Majestys dress is
severely plain, and she takes little or no
part in the court ceremonies, when these
are of a social rather than an official
nature. In her eldest sons wife, prin-
cess of the pious house OF Baden. the
Queen found daughterin-law after her
own heart. Her Majesty is much beloved
by all those who have experienced her
great kindness, her widespread charity
and her eyer-ready interest in the strug-
giles and sufferings of the poorer among
King Oscars subject5.-London Candid
Friend.

UNDER THE CAPITOL DOME.

Point, Royal Shoal, station that had
existed there for a good many years.
But the Lighthouse Board. after an in
vestigation, decided that Bluff Point was
better site. In order to make the ap-
preparation available for Bluff Point Mr..
Small introduced a little bill providing
that the 100000 appropriated for the re-
building of the light station at North
west Point. Royal Shoal, could be used
for a light station at Bluff Shoal In
other words. it was a mere transfer of
the money.
The Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce, to which the bill was
referred, struck out all after the enact
Ing clause and substituted the following:
THAT there be established a light sta
tion on or near Bluff Shoal. Pamlico
Sound. North Carolina. the cost of which
shall not exceed 100000.
Sec. 2. That the act approved March
3, 1901. for rebuilding the light station
on Northwest Point, Royal Shoal. North
Carolina. be, and the same is hereby, rea
pealed.'
1t was the second section of the above
substitute for the Small bill that caused
all the trouble, and had it not been dis
covered in time the appropriation for
lot of light stations would have been cut
off.

A POfyglOt Publication.

The fastidious Congressional Record
is becoming a polyglot publication on a
small scale. Several days ago that es-
teemed contemporary appeared in part
Spanish. The portion printed in the Cas-
lillian tongue was indeed small, but it
showed that the contributors to the
Record" sometimes introduce innovation
In part of the remarks of Senator
Turner on the Philippine question, which
were published under leave to print. -
appeared a Filipino song in the Spanish
tongue. 1t was from an article entitled
1.-THE Military Filipino" which was print
ed in the Outlook" and Incorporated in
Senator Turner'S speech as a part of his
remarks. The chorus of the song ran:
del sueno de tres siglos Hermanos despertad.
Gritandc, Fuera Espana.
Viva la Libertad.'
The translation of this patriotic Fill
Pine anthem is:
'From your sleep of three centuries
Brothers awake.
Crying, Away with Spain.

The Writing on the Pane.

AS the rain comes down and the
world grows dark,
Alone at the window she fingers,
Writing a name on the frosted pane
With the tips of her slim little fingers.
Now it's a signature out In full.
With curlycues round it rolling,
Now initials. and now dear John"
Jack, beloved" the list goes on;
But ever the same
Is the mystic name
Her fingers are IDLY scrolling.
Down in the corner. with absent air,
Her finger now slowly traces
In tiny letters an Mrs."
But what was coming you'll have to
guess.
For a shy little heart
Gives terrified start,
And quick little palm grasses.
There's never name on the window
pane,
Where cloudy, the frost still fingers.
But somebody's cheeks are flushed and
red,
And chilled are somebody's fingers.

Universal Shorthand.

The question whether there could
be such thing as universal short
hand system has been brought up and
is receiving attention from the peri
odicals devoted to that art. Nobody
has seriously considered the project
until recently, and at first sight it will
seem about as impracticable as a uni
| versal language. In the first place,
there are already several distinct sys-
tens of shorthand in common use
which could not possibly be welded
into one another. Any reform in this
direction would have to begin with the
new generation, who could be taught
new system with a view to being
able to read one another's notes. Old
stenographers are too old and too ex-
pert to care to learn any new tricks,
as rule.
The difficulty in the way of making
shorthand notes interchangeable, even
when the same system is employed, is
considerable. Every experienced short
hand writer has his own pet particu
lar crooks, turns, and authorizations
which are legion, and to explain all of
these to somebody else would amount
to teaching new language. The
number of notifications which can be
introduced in writing shorthand, to
suit the idiosyncrasy of the writer, i
are simply legion. Heretofore stenog- |
raphers have been free to do this, be- |
cause they had to read their own |
notes in any event, and there was no |
advantage in avoiding any improve |
ment which would save them trouble. |
But if there could be some arrange |
turn his legibly written notes directly |
over to a typewriter instead of dictat- |
ing or writing them himself, 1t would |
save an immense amount of bother |
for everybody. 1t is possible that this |
might be done. OF course the writer |
and the reader would have to be |,
taught absolutely the same system, !
and the notes would have to be writ !
ten as Iegibly as they possibly could
be. Moreover. the reader would have
to be an intelligent person with some
knowledge of the subject in hand, for |
for two words of opposite meaning.

THE part Of North Carolina in which
/ live has gone nearly crazy over the es-
tablishment OF furniture factories" said
Hon. Zeb Vance Waller. former Attor-
ney General OF that State, at the Raleigh.
1.-The cause Of popular interest in this
line of industry arises from the fact that
the profits from these factories run all
the way from SO 1-S to 125 per cent. There
was never anything like ii in our part of
the country. and consequently there is
danger OF OVERRIDING the business. AT
Lexington and High Point, together, there
are probably seventy-five Of these estab
lishments, and new ones are being con-
stantly organized.
"A funny thing in this connection Is
that the bulk OF the output Is shipped to
Grand Rapids and other Western manu-
featuring towns. where little fancy
work is added and then the stuff is sold
as coming from some we'll known centre
OF the furniture industry. North Caro-
lima gets none of the credit but We are
content as long as the dollars keep flow
ing our way"
