Members of the English parlia-
ment, unlike the members of the
American congress and all the 9TH
er parliaments of the world, serve
without salaries. The labor party's
representatives in parliament and
the Irish party's members are the
only ones who are paid to serve in
the house of commons. They draw
their salaries, not from the govern
ment, but from the funds of their
parties. There are so many able
men willing to serve their country
and their party for the honor of it
that all agitations to secure salaries
for members of commons have
failed. 1t costs the average member
from $4,000 to $4,000 in election ex-
penses to get into commons if his
election is warmly contested by a
candidate from the opposing party,
so that, as rule, The average mem
ber of the house of commons is man

THE "BLESSED LETTER .B'."
Come to the HOrticuIturist
Under This Letters.

A writer in the Garden has discover
ed that many of the worst foes of the
horticulturist begin with "w," and he
instances worms, weevils, wind and
other workers of wickedness. This
suggests question, says the London
Chronicle, as to whether there is any
natural grouping of good or evil things
under particular letters. Take ''bad," :"
for example, and consider how many
boons and blessings TO man begin with
it. The baker, butcher and brewer
bring him bread, beef and beer.
For additional foods he has bacon,
beans, bevril, bloaters, broccoli, broth,
biyalves, bananas, berries, biscuits,
buns and butter. After a banquet of
bonnes-bouches he may bring out his
briar and blow his baccy while he be-
strides his bicycle. Finally, with his
"boko" on the bolster he may find bliss
in bed between the blankets. These
are but few of the beneficent things
included under that blessed letter "b. -
Now, as a contrast, take 3D." and
among the first words we think of are
damp, dark, dreary, dismal dirty, de-
pressed, despairing, dead drunk, and

to drive one into doleful dumps.

SILK DRESSES OF TIN.
Metal Weighing Substance Has
Taken the Place of Vege-
table Matter.

A Chicago chemist declares that rs
per cent. of.the so-called silk used for
skirts, blouses, and dres ses is nothing
less than tin, pure and simple, says the
Tribune of that city. He asserts that
the practice of substituting tin for
vegetable weighting substances origi-
mated in Germany. The vegetable mat
ters were no detriment, though equal
brilliancy of color was not obtainable,
and there was not the same sheen and
feel when handled as that produced
by real silk, which has the rustic so
pleasing to the ladies' ears. "The prac-
tice of the dyer" he explains, "to whose
hands the silk yarn is intrusted for dye
ing and weighing, is to boil it, and in
so doing he reduces every 16 ounces to
IL, thus eliminating the ralgummy
substances and the foreign matter
added for the purpose of spinning. The
IL ounces were then brought up to IA by
the use of tannic acid, etc. To-day by
the substitution of tin, the 12 ounces
are raised to 16 ounces, or even 80
ounces"
'The proportion of weighing is
more than that in black silk" said a
to whom this statement
was submitted. Frequently only one
fourth of the woven material is real
silk; the other three parts are tin and
dye"
Any woman can test for herself
whether the silk she is buying is tin
weighted. Let her hold some threads
in flame, and the genuine will leave
an ash resembling that of wool when
burned, with no traces of filament,
while the tin weighted simply losesits
color and tenacity, each thread re-
naming distinct in thin wire gauze.

weddings in Holland.

In Holland the wedding party enters
the church two and two, the process
sion being headed by the bride and
bridegroom. Forms are arranged in a
semicircle around the pulpit and there
the young people with their friends
and rela tives seat themselves. The
ceremony consists of the reading of
a portion of Scripture and long ad-
monition to the bride and bridegroom,
delivered extempore by the black
gowned minister. The prayers are sat
through like the rest of the service, for
it is against Calvinistic custom to
kneel to pray. At the close of the serv-
ice Bibles are presented to the young
couple and to certain of their relatives.
Then the marriage is registered. This
free distribution of Bibles, which is
made by the state, accounts for the
very small sale there is for the Holy
Scriptures in Holland.-Chicago Daily
