A aRrEnY coNaREss.

When the late extra session OF con-
gress began. that honorable body
voted itself $4,000, to be distributed
to its members as mileage" Each
member was allowed 20 cents a mile,
supposed to cover the expense OF
travelling to Washington and returning
to his own district OF course, this
mileage" was somewhat Of a joke,
since each member, as everyone
knows. rides both ways on a free pass
We doubt If there is an exception to
this rule
Tho extra session glided into the
regular session. with a constructive
recess" OF few minutes between.
Yet scarcely had the members faced
about in their elegant chairs, before
this thoughtful congress proceeded to
take another $4,000 out Of the treas
ury to pay imaginary mileage" to
congressman who had not had time to
go to their hotels and back between
the sessions. Some members receiv-
ed 5000 each, when they had not been
out Of the capitol. 3ot ~
It Is useless to dwell upon the Grim
inal folly OF such proceedings.
How body Of men chosen from
various parts OF the country because
OF their supposed integrity and force,
can deliberately compound and exc
cute such manifest fraud, is one of
the mysteries which battle under
standing. The theory of mileage is
the reimbursement of a member for
travelling expenses to Washington and
back to his home. If the member has
incurred no expense, he should have
no mileage. and to give him this mile
age is public robbery.
The New York Times, in a strong
editorial, reminds us that for years
the allowance was 40 cents a mile,
"and the mileage allowed to the mem
bers from California brought their
compensation up to something like
$4,000 a year. the trip around Cape
Horn figuring as a colossal item in the
mileage account. The cutting short Of
the trip by the construction of the
Panama railroad did not lessen the
mileage charge, and it was not until
Schuyler Colfax, as the presiding of
fcer of the senate. refused to approve
the vouchers for 10000 miles offered
by members who had only travelled
$500 miles that this sort of robbery
was prohibited by law"
It strikes us that the graft re
Gently worked by congress for It's
own benefit is even mere infamous
than the individual falsifying which
was suppressed by MI Colfax.
The selfish greed of congress may
blnd Il % the needs Of the country
as tha. selhsbness seems to have al
ready blinded it to the nicer distinc
I iions Of public honor The people
I however.do not relish having the pub
lie funds parcelled out under false
pretenses, and viii see to it that the
abuse is corrected.

reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin.
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have rumbl-
ing sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t is entirely closed. Deafness
is the result. and unless the infam-
nation can be taken out and this tube
res tored to its normal condition hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out often are caused by Cstarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed con.
dition of the mucous services.

LIZARDS IN SAMOA.
Tiny Reptiles That Are Capable o1
Some Surprising Per-
formances.

A resident of Samoa writes in an
entertaining way of the lizards-little
fellows about two inches long, prettily
colored in a light and a dark shade
of brown. They can run up a win
dow-pane quite as easily as can the
flies on which they feed, says the
Youths Companion.
when alarmed the lizards are off
Like a flash of light. and will take the
most reckless leaps. I have seen them
land safe at the end of a 20-foot jump.
Yet when cornered they have no hest
tation in swapping off the most of their
tails.
THAT was Il Inaddening puzzle to my
small cat. The sight of a moo any.
where was an immediate challenge to
the kitten. She would Immediately
start on the hunt, for the most part a
fruitless chase, for the little lizard
could skulk OFF faster than two cats
could pursue. Yet when the kitten did
succeed in landing on the lizard there
followed a Gene of bewiIderment. The
moo invariably snapped off its tail
which was left wriggling in one par,
Of the veranda, while the lizard rar
off a short distance and awaited de
velopments.
The kitten never knew whether tic
catch the lizard or the tail. If the
moo moved, the kitten went for it;
but she always stopped short to keeT
an eye on the Wrig5gisso Of the tat A.
soon rs she turned back to take care
Of the tailthe moo got in motion and
had tobeAleoked after. Hundreds OF
times / have watched the dilemma
and the%ending was always the same

to be content with the boDy tail. But
there were lots OF lizards about my
house, sprouting new tails,
