THE HOUSE.

1t was a fear that the Organic Act
might be fractured, not the loss of
twelve dollars each which caused nine
teen member of the House of Repre-
sentatives Saturday afternoon to vote
in favor OF a resolution instructing the
Treasurer to pay them in cash instead
of in registered warrants.
One financier had figured 1t out that
while the Organic Act specifically
stated that he should receive $500 for
his great services to the country. IL
his warrants were discounted he would
get but 1888.
There was a division and on vote
of 10 to 8 the resolution to instruct the
Treasurer to pay In full was passed.
Rep. Lilikalani was one of the 9 who
were willing to sacrifice $12 on the
altar of duty.

schsum pipes.
When her apartments we're
searched $500 pipes were found,
some Of which were handsomely col

Although for awhile she stoutly
protested her innocence, she at last
broke down and confessed that she
was addicted TO the use Of tobacco
and suffered from a form Of klep-
tomania which led her to steal every
handsome pipe which she could
make svav with without discovery.
She made no attempt to dispose
of her pipes for profit. but kept

brought forcibly to our attention
by an incident in this city a few
days ago. A Appointment furniture
dealer met one of our Prohibi-

a speciality of expounding the
theory that a greater measure of
prosperity should come to the
wage Garner, and that a neces-

The Economy OF preserving the Health

If a man were TO deliberately
gradually starve his child, there
rs law which would punish him.
But food starvation is not the
only kind of starvation. There
Is air starvation, and its victims
fall everywhere like autumn
leaves. There is no law against
the killing of children, nor
against the killing of anyone by
slow air starvation. We may
live for forty days without water.
but we can not live FIVE minutes
without air. The diseases which
follow gradual air starvation are:
Influenza, coughs. colds, catarrh,
pneumonia, consumption and the
whole list known as diseases of
the respiratory tract. Air starva-
tion also frequently has following
II. mal-nutrition, headaches,
neurasthenia and-other ills. Air
is free. We do not have to buy
IL at the grocery. Unlike many
foods. il is not colored with coal
tar dyes, not preserved with
borie acid, salicylic acid, or other
chemicals, nor can it be cornered
by the trusts. Why, then suffer
from air starvation? Why not
always keep our lungs full of
pure air, and thus always have
our blood thoroughly oxydized?
If We will do so, the microbes Of
influenza, coughs. colds. catarrh.
pneumonia and consumption will
knock in vain for admittance.
This is not a theory; it is simply
a discovered fact. Even after
we have acquired the worst of
the above diseases, consumption,
provided it Is not far advanced,
may be routed by continuous life
in the open air. This is being
done every day in certain very
progressive states. and parti-
cularly in Germany, and there

The Working Mans Beer.

AT the corner-etone laying of
the new brewery in Indianapolis
last week, as narrated on the first
page of this issue. one of the
speakers tried to make a strong
point as to the great boon which
beer IS to the laboring man. He
was right in saying that it is a
stimulating" breverage but the
testimony of science is unanimous
mat beer has no food value, that
It's stimulating effect is bnt tenn
porary and that the reaction
which follows leaves a man in
q worse condition than before he
lmblbed. In Germany, to which
me speaker pointed with pride.
IN, harmful effect of beer drink
ing upon the laborer is becoming
20 alarming as to attract the at
tentlon of eminent men. and the
Emporer himself has expressed
MS desire that the evil shall be
abated.
But not only is beer drinking a
detrlment to the laboring man
physically but is harmful to him
from a financial standpoint.
which argument is more apt to
appealto him forcibly In spend
ing money for beer. he not only
harms himself bodily, but he de-
Pnves labor of its just reward.
N the money spent for liquor
only a small percent of it goes to
pay for labor and the raw mater

INTO the pockets Of the manufact-
lrers and dealers as profits on

How love TO lie
Happy, thinking, in my bed:
As the moments fly!
Birds are fitting swiftly by,
Sun comes creeping up the sky,
Still ! firmly close each eye
As lie and think.
Trouble never comes to pass,
All is peace and JOY,
Life is but dream of bliss,
Free from all alloy:
In my thoughts, all things obey,
All men do as | may say:
"Iis just like some fairy play
AS | lie and think.
Fair or cloudy be the day,
Matters not TO me;
Lie there thinking just as gay,
From all care as free:
All the world seems then my own,
All my troubles then have flown,
! am king upon my throne
AS | lie and think.
All great questions of the day
| can reason then,
Molding them like Scul ptor's clay,
Same as famous men;
Tell just how twill all come out,
Any thought of fear | scout:
PIT the enemy to rout-
AS ! lie and think.
There will then come tripping near
Thoughts of long ago.
And again I'm living where
Rippling waters flow;
Free from care as is the dove,
In the tree-tops up above.
Cooling softly notes of love
AS | lie and think.
Katy-did on yonder bough
Murmurs at her fate,
Saucy crickets by the slough
Mocks in tones sedate;
Honey bees come humming near,
Birds are singing songs of cheer.
Sky above so blue and clear
As ! lie and think.
Thinking of the deeds I'll do
When I'm grown man.
How Ill be to conscience true,
Feeling sure / can;
Wealth and fame shall then be mine.
In the halls of state I'll shine,
Thinking thus. for age | pine
AS | lie and think.
Gone are all those youthful dreams.
Ne'er TO cheer me more;
Still with hope my fancy teens,
Blithesome as of yore;
What is living but to think?
Who would not of fancy drink.
Till he reach the rivers brink
Let me lie and think.
