Smiths in Congress.

In the ninth session OF Congress there
were nine Smiths among the member
ship, including five senators, three of
whom were named plain John Smith"
and represented the states of New York,
Connecticut and Ohio. There was an
other John in the House at the same
time and two Samuel Smiths, one SEN
ator from Maryland and the other rep
resentative from Pennsylvania. Senator
Samuel Smith of Maryland holds the
record of service for the family, having
been in Congress forty years in sncces-
sion, serving eight terms in the House
and four in the Senate, and finally dying
in 1889, after six years as mayor of Bal
timore. He was in Congress from the
third to the twenty-second session. in
elusive. The Smiths have also repre-
scented twenty-three states and one ter
ritory in Legislative capacity: Maine,
Rhode Island, Delaware, Mississippi,
and Florida are the only states east Of
the Mississippi river which have not yet
sent Smith to Congress. Only last
session Michigan had three Smiths in the
House.-Pittsburg PENN Gazette.

The Practicability of Air Ships.

The mists of the future still hide the
air ship that will be used as a convey
ance making regular trips. carrying peo-
pie to and fro above the earth on bust
ness and pleasure, but the coming of the
practical ship is inevitable I will not
venture to say how soon it will arrive,
but [ think that many who are now
alive will move over the housetops in air
ships, when most houses will have en-
frances on their roofs. I have no faith
in the idea that flying machines may be
devised for single individuals, or that the
correct principle may be found by study
ing and copying the flight OF birds When
such plans are suggested. ] an reminded
of the ideas and efforts of Inventors who,
a century ago, tried to make locomotives
with four legs, to operaIe like horses
The thought OF these mechanical experts
was that, since the horses moved more
rapidly across the land than almost any
thing else with which they were familiar,
it followed that any mechanism that was
to attain q greater speed would have to
be constructed and operated in a similar
way.-Alberto Santos Dunlont in Sue

PEARY'S DASH MAY BE DELAYED.
Lack of Funds Cause Northern Explorer
to Put Off Expedition.

Washington, ID. c., April 4.-Com-
mander Peary practically has given up
hope of starting for the north pole this
summer with his main expedition. as ne
had planned. The funds have not come
III as rapidly as was expected and un-
less the subscriptions of the next te:.
days are much larger he will postpone
his departure until year from next July.
In that event, he will build his own ship
for the cruise, and will make it the most
powerful vessel that ever has sought the
pole.
Mr.. Peary has estimated that a guar
antee fund of 100000 is necessary to
defray every expense of the expedition.
More than half Of this amount has been
subscribed. and Mr.. Peary has no doubt
that the whole sum will be available.
IF L cannot start for the pole this
year said Mr.. Peary, 1.-The auxiliary ex--
petition will leave New York early in
July. and will leave several hundred tons
of coal at Etah, near Littleton island
When we reach there with the main ex
petition we will fill our bunkers, and wa

Flood of Prosperity.

Niagara Falls.
"The gentleman from Illinois, Mr..
Boutell,' said Mr.. Wade. INSISTS that
the country is prosperous. and he read
q lot of newspaper articles to prove it.
Others insist on the same state of affairs.
But whenever | hear one of these mem
bers talking | am reminded of the gentle

around. The guide showed the gentle

Depression OF the nervous system at

That tired feeling which is the natural

when Peruna is taken. Thousands are
daily testifying to its priceless benefit.

frozen in. Pickaxes We're brought and
the animal was dug out. 1t is now work
