Senators Who Control.

A writer In the January number of the
magazine Success has the assurance to
name twelve senators who, according to
his estimate, control national legislation
today, and thus have supremacy In the
government. The ones he names are
Spo oner Of Wisconsin, Cullom of Illinois
Fairbanks and Beveridge of Indiana,
Hanna and Foraker of Ohio, Aldrieh of
Rhode Island, Frye and Hale of Maine,
Allison Of Iowa, Platt of Connecticut
and Lodge OF Massachusetts. That most
of these are influential senators may be
granted. Seine of them, however, do
not deserve the prominence given. Fair
banks and Beveridge, for example, are
not more influential in general than Hoar
and Proctor, Platt, Quay and Elkins are
influential senators in their way. Bur-
rows of Michigan and Nelson of Mime
SOFA are men of consideration. This list
Is not made with reference to ability
merely, but also with reference to ex-
perience and committee places. 1t in
cludes only members of the majority.

count for much when they are a minor

The Old Wood Fire.

In his recollections of his youthful
days in the January Atlantic J. T.
| Trowbridge writes as follows of the old
wood fire.
| AT one end of the room was a huge
stone fireplace, with great iron andirons,
and iron shovel and tongs in the corners.
After the evening chores were done, my
father would appear in the doorway
with the big back log coated with snow,
often of ampler girth than himself, and
fully breast high to him as he held it
upright, canting one way and another,
and walking it before him on its wedge
shaped end. He would perhaps stand
1t against the chimney while he took y
breathing spell and planned his cam
paigD. Then the andirons hauled for
ward on the hearth, and the bed Of half
burnt brands and live Goals raked open,
the icy log was walked into the Chin
ney, where a skillftY turn would Law
1t over, Kissing and steaming, in its lair
of hot embers. 1t seemed a thing alive,
and its vehement sputtering and protest
ing made dramatic moment for at least
one small spectator. The stout shovel
and tongs, or perhaps piece Of firewood
used as lever, would force it against
the chimney back; then good sized
stick, called the "back-stick," was laid
on top of it, and the androns were set
in place. Across the andirons another
good-sized stick WAS laid, called fore
stick" and in the interspace smaller
sticks were crossed and thurst and piled,
all Quickly kndled by the live Goals and
brands. In very cold weather a fire
was kept burning all night, Our father
getting up once or twice to replenish it..
Even in summer the Goals rarely became
extinct. A good heap of them, covered
with embers at bedtime, would be found
alive when raked open in the morning.

The compass plant Of Asia Minor
known all along the eastern shores OF

Arabia ana Persia, is mentioned in the

senseless thing which is more stable
than man, inasmuch as it always
polnteth in the one direction" 1t is
an annual shrub, much resembling our
wild or false indigo, but with all the
branches arranged along its stem on
the north side. 1t is of the greatest
value to travellers of those regions, who
use 1t with as much assurance of being
carried Alright as does the seaman his

Bradstreet: Satisfaction with the old
and confidence in the new year are the
dominating features as 1902 draws to a
close. The enormous holiday trade, ex-
ceeding in most respects all records, pro-
we'd to be a fitting crown to year OF
almost unprecedented business and in
dustrial activity. Additional reports re-
ceived of trade distribution for the year
confirm those hitherto given of an enor-
nous volume of business modified, 1t is
true, in some repects by higher cost OF
materials and wages limiting profits.
Reports of results in banking circles
this year are that good profits have been
gained as result of the comparatively
high and at the same time steady rates
for money. The holiday spirit has ruled
in wholesale lines this week. Not only
are spring goods being ordered with free
dom and confidence, but prompt delivery
of the same Is being urged.
Advices to Bradstreets from all the
leading centers, except 10 parts Of the
south, indicate increases in the volume
Of business this year over last in leading
