TEN YEARS IN CONGRESS.
Twenty-Five Veterans of 1893 Who
 Feel Like Celebrating.

Twenty-Five Veterans of 1893 Who Feel Like Celebrating.
 There are twenty-five men who be- gan their service in the house in the Fffty-third congress and who have served continuously since and are now entering upon their sixth term. For ten years they have been associated with each other, and the fact that so many beginning at that time should be reelected for five consecutive times has started some talk about the forma- tion of club, something like the Tan talus club which should give dinner once or twice during the winter. The difficulty with the Tantalus club is that it continues to grow on account of new members.
 The Fifty-third congress club cannot grow and is bound to decrease in num- bers. Those who are eligible to the Fifty-third congress club are Adams of Pennsylvania, Babcock of Wisconsin, Bartholdt of Missouri, Cooper of Wis consin, Cooper of Texas, Cousins of Iowa, Curtis of Kansas. Dinsmore of Arkansas, Dovener, of West Virginia Gardner of New Jersey, Gillet of New York, Gillett of Massachusetts, Little of Arkansas, Loudenslager of New Jer- sey, Mccall of Massachusetts, McCleary of Minnesota, Maddox of Georgia, Ma hon Of Pennsylvania, Parker of New Jersey, Swanson of Virginia, Tate of Georgia, Tawney of Minnesota. Van Voorhis of Ohio, Wanger of Pennsylva- nia and Williams of Mississippi.
 These men, who were all cubs back in that congress which met first in the summer of 1893 to repeal the silver pur- chase act, have quite fondness for one another. Naturally, as new members, they were thrown in each others soci- ety. In that congress they had little to do save to sit back and watch the wheels go around. So engrossed with themselves and the business of the house were the older members that they paid little attention to these new men, who sort of flocked by them- selves.
 But they are no longer the men who were merely onlookers. One of them, Williams, is the minority leader: an- other. Tawney, is the republican "whip" and the speakers right-hand man. One, Babcock, has been chairman of the re- publican congressional campaign com mittee in five successive and successful campaigns; one, Cooper of Wisconsin, is chairman of the insular committee. Dinsmore is the ranking minority mem- Der of foreign affairs. Nearly every one of them has taken a prominent place in the house e-Was1lington Post

UsCoMmosLr HFIPFUL

The Missouri hen has long and justly been celebrated for her flelpfulness, but a new indication of her resources and
 good will has just come to light in
 Maitland, c. ". Zook Of that town is the proud possessor of the very best hen in Missouri, and he owns her accidental ly so to speak, Some months ago he tried to sell off all his poultry stock, and thought he had done so, but afterward
 one bullet that had escaped the poultry mans ax turned up. Something over two weeks ago. MT. Took found two
 eggs. one white and one brown, in the solitary nest in the barn, and every
 day thereafter for ten days he did the same. He had seen but one chicken
 about the place, and it suddenly dawn ed upon him that his bullet was doing
 double duty in showing the superiorftv os the Missouri hen. So he set about watching her. For three days he noted her visits to the nest. and found one
 whi.e and one brown egg. He knew there were no eggs in the nest before the hens visit, and therefore concluded
 to certainty that for two weeks the hen had laid two eggs day.
 Of course there is nothing particular
 ly remarkable about Missouri roosters.
 They just stand around, feel big and
 crow. But the modest hen does the
 work, and brings fame to Missouri.

"why''

There is a curious game called why" To play 1t wise men vainly try; We start it at our very birth Nor quit 1t till we leave this earth. When first the sun makes glad the eye We blink and vail and wonder why" ; What is tha secret Of success? Fen they who have it blindly guess. Why do the winds flow softly by? Why are the stars set in the sky? Why are the flowers fresh and sweet Scattered profusely at our feet? Why is it that mere gold can buy The good that toll will oft deny2 We strive to solve, and strive ntyain, The secrets of life's joy and pain; We love, we lose, we laugh, we cry 'ITs all in the great game of ''why!

correspondent of the London King tells this striking instance of the stu pidity of native servants in India. The occasion wasa big dinner party in Cal cutta, and among the hosts's servants was a khitmagar (table servant)
 whose duty it was to go round with the champagne, or, as the natives call 1t, "simkin." Unfortunately the man was a bit "dotty,'' or else had been stupefying himself with opium, for when he began with the principal wo- man guest a terrible ccntretemps oc- cured. The woman was elderly and deaf. and she habitually carried about with her an ear trumpet. When the man came round with the champagne she was talking, and did not hear him say "simlSin, nemsahib?" He repeated the question in g little louder tone, and

It is slanderously stated that a Con- necticut firm manufactures sacred sea- rahei for the Egyptian tourist trade The little charms are carved and even chipDed by machinery, colored in bulk to simulate age and shipped in casks to the Moslem dealers at Cairo. The Ara bian guides are the chief buyers, many Of them being adopts at "salting'' the sands at the base of the Pyramids. or about the sacred temples. where they artfully discover these scarabei before the very eyes of the Yankee tourist and sell him for an American dollar an articles manufactured at a cost of less than cent in his native land.

The minister of public instruction in France has taken the lead of all the world in measures for the prevention of consumption in the schools. A new law requires that an examination of every pupil shall be made once in three
 months, and the height, the weight, the chest measure and the general phy- sical condition of every one shall be en- tered on the pupils report. The school rooms receive the same preventive at- tention. Carpets are prohibited; cur- tairas must be washed; no dry sweeping is allowed, and dust must be removed by wet cloths; all school furniture must be often secured: books are regularly disinfected, and no book that has been used by consumptive child may be used by another person.
