Death of Senator Mitchell.

The deep pity of Senator Mitchell's death under cloud of criminality Is forgotten in the Senate, where, on the morrow, a new question will come up, and new precedent will be estab- lished For never before in the course of this government has a senator diei who stood convicted of a felony, and that offense was of course a violation of his oath as a Senator of the United States.
 His death will be announced in the Senate tomorrow by Senator Fulton, his colleague, and the precedent-loving Senators are in a pickle. They do not know what they should do. They feel sorry that death has come to the aged Oregon Senator at such time, but on the morrow duty will outrank mere human sympathy. The Senate must act, and there is no precedent for it's guidance.
 Will 1t adjourn out of respect for the dead? Will it appoint a commit tee to represent the Senate at the fu- neral services? Will it name a day when formal eulogies of the dead will be delivered in the Senate?
 Mere technicalities will not serve in this emergency. It is said that the Senate has no official knowledge that the dead Senator was engaged in de- fraudlng it's public domain. It is said, too. that he had taken an appeal to the highest court, and that that court had not passed upon that appeal. Such technicalities fade away before we'll known facts. and the Senate will to- morrow be brought face to face with Q problem. The solution of that prob lem will stand as precedent to the last day of the republics life.

Sure Sign of Intoxic alton.

B The question of when a man is
drunk has long been an open one,
many attempts having been made in
vain to determine the line which
marks the division line between jolli.
fication snd Justification. But an of.
fetal method of determining when a
woman Is drunk was established In
police court yesterday afternoon. A
witness had testified that a woman
who figured in the case was drunk
when the attorney for the other side
sought to determine the extent of the
witnesses knowledge on that point
How do you know she was drunk?'
inquired the attorney.
why, because she was just drunk"
"But how did you determine that?'
From her breath"
''Ho! Then the breath is a sure
index of intoxication!"
Sure. If her breath is drunk she
Is drunk all over"
The attorney did not press the in
vestigation further along that line

ONE MOTHERS GOOD METHOD.
Has Splendid Way Of Teaching Chill.
dren Table Manners.


desire to have all my childrens
meals served at the family table, so
that l may give attention to the kind
and quantity of food which they eat,
and also to their manners at table,
writes Inez Redding in the Epitomist.
AS we have SO many guests l par
ticularly wish my children to appear
well bred. and for the same reason
do not wish to be obliged to be con-
tinually talking to them at the table.
My children coax for pennies like
other children, and teach them the
value of penny while they are very
young, in this way. When we go into
the dining-room place in front of my
plate a penny for each child. At the
close of the meal the child who has
not been corrected in any way Is
given penny. They are encouraged
to talk, but not to interrupt. They
are taught to eat properly, to ask
properly for anything they may wish.
Any misdemeanor, which they under
stand to be such, results IN the loss of
the penny. Sometimes they are fined
a penny beside for any particularly
unpleasant act. For any disrespectful
word to the waitress they are at once
sent from the table. 1t may not be
the best way, but one thing certain,
the meal hour is the pleasantest in
the day, to children, guests and my
self.

What Is a Melon?

The old and oft-mooled question as
to whether a melon is vegetable or
a fruit has been revived, and is now
being discussed with great vehemence
in England by the earl of Clancarty
and Lord Ashtown. These two orna-
ments of the nobility were rivals in
exhibiting vegetables at county fair,
and when the earl won the prize for
his table of vegetables, Lord Ashtown
promptly and irefully protested be-
cause the earl's exhibit included a
melon, which the noble lord declared
was a fruit. The two peers and the
Judges of the fair are now engaged in
attempting to settle the dispute, for
the earl of Clancarte has no intention
of tamely admitting his rivals objec-
ton.

When Can Jackie Sleep?

Says Admiral Sir John Arbuthnot
Fisher, first sea lord of the British
navy: In our future sea fights, with
destroyers haunting us by night and
submarines dogging us by day, the two
chief requisites will be endurance and
nerve. A machine has no nerves and
never gets tired. In the Nelsonic days
they could go to sleep at nights. When
the destroyers arrived we settled to
20 to sleep by day. Now the SUBJ
