DAVE LEAHY'S HUMOR.

Kansas Congressman's Secretary No
Longer n Hero Worshiper.
David D. Leahy, Congressman Muir
docks private secretary, has SO far
recovered from his recent attack of ILL
ness that he is able to converse with
callers, says a Wichita (Kan.) dispatch
to the Kansas City Star. Speaking OF
his life in Washington Mr.. Leahy
said:
"Washington doesn't affect me. | go
whensI please and where l please. | do
as I choose. which is just as / did here.
/ go to Led 1T 8 p. m. and get up before
8 a. M, which is plebeian in Washing

don't care for those people. They are
cold at best and do little for a transient
like me. l care nothing for their SO,
ciety, for there is no sociabihty in it
To go into society is to play euchre,
and l detest the game"
Dave says he is busy most of the
time, aud when not busy he goes some
place where he can learn something
He likes Washington life, though he
considers that there is a whole lot OF
what he calls front elevation among
the officers Of the nation. He is aShert
w0rshiper no more.

uNBREAkA8LE DISHES.
American Consul Finds Tableware
That Defes Careless Servants.

t&THN AA8
Dinner plates which your servants
can idly drop upon the stone Q
without breaking and dishes which
make excellent hammers with which
to drive nails are the discovery of
United States Consul James G. McNal-
" at Liege, Belgium, says a Washing
ton dispatch to the New York Herald.
Here is the story in his OWL words:
"a company in Liege.is manufacture
ing a hardened crystal dish which IN
| appearance closely resembles fine
translucent china OF uniform shape
and manufacture. The resisting pow
er Of this ware is due to a special hard
ening process and to the quality and
nature Of the crystal used. It not
only successfully resists the usual wear
and tear, but Is almost proof against
breakage.
"a hardened crystal dish can be
substituted for "a hammer in driving
nails into wood, while the same ware
can be put into boiling water at a high
degree, then plunged into ice water re
peatedly, without. the least noticeable
damage to the dish or plate.
.The writer has seen plates of thu
usual form Of this hardened ware
hurled to the stone floor of a ware
house and go bounding along the whole
length of the building without suffer
ing the least damage. This same. firm
makes glassware of the same CORE
spending resistance"
