Newton fashioned a concave mirror
from a mixture of copper and tin,
which gives a surface with almost the
luster Of silver. An image of the star
was produced in the focus of this mir
ror, and then this image when exam
ined by magnifying eyepiece permits
the astronomer to study the star at
what is equivalent to a greatly reduced
distance. Such is the principle Of the
famous erecting telescope which bears
the name of Newton. The little reflect
or which he constructed is still pre-
served as one of the treasures of the
Royal society. The telescope tube had
the very modest dimensions of an inch
in diameter. It was, however, the pre-
cursor Of whole series of magnificent
instruments, each outstripping the 9th
er in magnitude.

Let your heartiest meal be at night

When the intermission between hours
of labor is short no heavy food should

Immortality.

Humanity and Immortality consist
neither in reason nor in love; not in the

Of it nor in the thoughts and STRINGS
Of the brain Of it, but in the dedication
of them all to him who will raise them
up at the last day.-John Ruskin.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular CORRESPONDENCE

NASs@ wa 4sN& 1s&A %OENN6&pOA0GmksI
Washington d. C. Dec. Is, 1905.
One of the most bitter attacks ever
made in the Senate upon the Presi.
dent was delivered by Senator Till
man this week. It dealt particular
ly with the Santo Domingo treaty
and in general with what Mr.. Till
man termed the usurpation of
authority" by the executive. The
President was warmly defended by
Senator Spooner and the result was
what might be termed drawn bat.
tie with no result except to show
that the President and some of his
policies have warm opponents in the
South. Senator Tillnan said that he
would admit the President was n
patriotic man from his own point of
view but that when he once con-
ceived an idea, he did not let law,
precedent nor the constitution stand
in the way of carrying it out. As
TO the Santo Domingo treaty, Sena.
tor Tillman said that the President
simply waited till he got Congress
of his hands and then went 10 work
carrying out his pet idea as 10 the
solution of the Santo DOMINICAN trou-
BILE. To this Senator Spooner re-
piled that the Senate had left the
President in an embarrassing posi-
ton by adjourning without acting
on the Santo Domingo treaty and
that the President had nothing to
do but to take the matter into his
own hands. Senator Spooner said
that when the trouble reached an
acute stage an Italian warship had
appeared on the scene and ID was
only the presence Of American war
ships that had prevented other pow
ers from sending warships too and
following the lead that Italy had at

tempted of looking out for their own
interests. Since the United States
had held the custom houses. said
he, there had been no revolution and
very little talk OF one. TT the
Senate did not act on the treaty, the
money that had been collected and
was now in safe keeping for the
creditor nations would become the
property Of Santo Domingo, while
the powers would be left to look
after their debts and their interests
as best they could. TWAS altogeth-
or an unpleasant and unseemly
squabble and there was little out
come to il except that 10, il anything
deepened the breach between theSen-
ete andthe Executive. 10 Is O ques-
ton whether the cause Of the Santo
DOMINICAN treaty has been helped or
hurt by incident incident. That can
only be told when the measure comes
before the Senate in executive ses-
sion. But it has at least made clear
that the United States up to date
has been acting in perfectly good
faith toward the creditor nations
and II the matter is not legislated
on during the present session, the
President will az least have cleared
bis skirts and the responsibility
will rest on the Senate In not having
taken advantage of the order that he
has maintained in Santo Domingo.

The old question OF reducing the
southern representation on account
Of the disfranchisement OF some of
the negroes in the south, was again
brought up this week by Mr. Ben
nett OF New York, the north always
taking the lead in settling the me-
gro problem, which it is very easy
to do, being further from the scene
OF action. Mr.. Benefits bill pro-
vides for the reduction Of southern
representation from 336 to PSI and
would divide the reduction as fol-
lows: Alabama from 9 to 5; Arkan-
sas from to 5; Florida from 3 to 2,
Georgia from ii to 6; Louisiana from
z to 4; Mississippi from8 to 3; North
Carolina from 10 to Z; South Caro-
lima from to 3. Tennessee from 10 to
8, Texas from Is to Is; and Virginia
from 10 TO T. Ii is not likely how
ever, with the press of other legis-
lation, that the bill will get very
serious consideration.

THE HOME XMAS TABLE.
BIZ MARY ANNABLE FANToN.

The country Xmas dinner table
can really be made more attractive
than the most expensive city arrange
ment. for out in the country you
have everything at hand to obtain
the real Xmassy look of things.
There, just for the picking, are oil
the nice green and red outdoor
things that furnish the genuine yule
tide beauty, and in such a variety
that every country lane and woods
must give you some holiday Offering
appropriate in color and sentiment.
Best of all of these is holly and mis-
tletoe, but If these Xmassy branches
won't grow in your own woods,
surely there is green pine with
scarlet elder berries, or laurel, with
bitter sweet, and huge branches of
cedar or pine for the doorways and
nantes. And where the country
side refuses wholly to aid in the
holiday trimmings, there are the
loveliest Xmas bells to be made of
holly, red tissue paper, and you can
always find some kind of evergreen
TO twine into wreaths.
Have your table gorgeous in color
and simple in setting. the center
piece must be basket of ground
pine or evergreen filed only with
the reddest apples, then at every
place is huge red apple followed
out to hold bonbons, which should
be home made for this occasion. II
you have pretty polished dining
table leave it bare, the green and
red will show up beautifully on the
polished surface. From the center
basket trail out streamers of pine or
patterns OF laurel leaves to each
place, ending with a knot OF red ribbon
or tiny red Xmas bell of tissue
paper. In the spaces between the
streamers place the dishes for salt
ed almonds, peanuts, olives and
candies, figs or dates. Make the
dishes for these relishes of geranium
leaves, pinned into round cup with
pins having red berry heads.
At every place have a small red
tissue paper doyly and a larger one
under the turkey platter. The nap
kins may be green or red tissue pa
per; they can be brought this season
of bright laurel green tissue paper
with borders OF red holly berries
or few cents a hundred. And ali
OF the meats must Of course be gar
nished with green parsley and
springs of holly or red alder.
The effect Of this simple color
scheme in dining room decorated
with green branches and vines and
wreaths. is indescribably brilliant.
Yet il costs little or nothing but
taste and time.
Here is Xmas dinner suggestion
that may seen almost absurd before
you think into 10; and then you will
wonder that the wisdom OF it had n Z
appealed 70 you long ago. But per-
haps ii has for sught I know. II
out in the country you have been
having some dusty winds instead of
a snow hidden landscape, you will
find it pleasant hygienic measure
to dip all the vines and leaves YOU
are going to use on the table, first

Our County Legislators

The Saa. Of Thursday. December
IA, 1905. says:
Regular Democrats from St.
hary's county say emphatically
that they viii oppose the admis-
sion OF Seuator-elect +. +. Green
well, of their county, into the Demo
cratic caucus. They say that ifSena-
TOR Greenwell is permitted 20 go i'm
to the caucus Mr.. Hayden, the orga-
nization Democrat who was elected
10 the House. will not go in. The
charge against Mr.. Green well is that
he was nominated by Republican
convention, was elected by Republi-
cans and is not entitled 10 60 into q
Democratic caucus.
MIR. Green we'll . friends say that
he is as good democrat as any in
the county, but will not attempt to
force himself into the caucus. II
asked to 90 in he will enter and be
bound by its decision, but he will
not demand admission. The organi-
zation leaders are disposed, il is un-
derstood, to admit all Democrats 70
the caucus. but probably would pre-
fer 10 lose the vote of Mr.. Greenwell
in the Senate. where they have big
majority, than Mr.. Hayden s in the
House, where the majority is slim.
The fact that both ex Governor Smith
and Ex-Governor Jackson have told
friends that they favor the e-elec-
ton of Mr.. Vandiver for State Treas
urer is regarded by the friends OF
the latter as removing all trouble for
him, particularly as Congressman
Talbot says the Baltimore county
delegation is pledged tohis support.
Those who are opposing him have
by no means given up the fight and
claim that he will be beaten.

MEMORIES OF ACTORS.
Many Can Reel on Their "Parts" in Hun.
frelIa Of PlAya.

When NJ. Coquelin. the great French come
dian, was asked a short time ago II he ever
forgot u part he had once PLAYED he replied
that he could at moments notice repeat
any part he had learned in his early years on
/ the stage. II have only to open my mouth. !"
he said. "and the speeches come out like
ribbon that Is being unyound from reel
But am OF opinion that after 40 a man 8
memory hardens. At all events. II have to
play part that learned In later life require
just one rehearsal in order to be sure Of my
| self"
The astonishing nature of such a feat as
this ls only realized. says Tft Bits. when one
remembers the enormous number OF parts
an actor Of necessity has to master in his
early years. During my first four years
on the STAGE" Sir Squire Bancroft. for in
stance. says. Il acted $40 characters. repeat
ing many OF them with various actors and In
different theaters-an average OF between
eighty and ninety parts each year"
During his hrst season he played forty
fresh characters within six weeks. long
hours OF the night, generally by the light
Of single candle. being often given to copy
ing out my parts from well thumbed prompt
books" In one memorable fortnight he
had to act the following seven fresh parts:
Cassie. in "Othello" Gratidno. in THE Mer-
chant of Venice; DE Mauprat. in "Riche-
lieu: Eugene do Lorme, in Loves Sacrifice: {:
w eUbOTn, IN "A New way 20 ray OlQ DeD8
!ciiu:, In "yirginius. and Leonordo Gom.aco.
in The Wife"
Sir Henry Irving had still moro amazing
record of varied acting in his prentice days.
During three years in the provinces he ap-
peared in no fewer than 5S4 partisan average
of nearly four new characters every week
during the whole period. Although more
than forty years have gone since Sir Henry
committed these parts to memory there are
few Of them which he could not repeat to-day
without even glance at the book. Oddly
enough. il ever the great actors memory
shows any inclination to play him false II is
in the characters which he has ssumed the
oftenest.
1T is curious thing" he said. that the
more perfect you are in part the more likely
you are to stick. 1t Is often the case after
you have been playing the same character q
hundred or more nights. The worst part of
it is that when you want the prompter he
is never there
j. l.. Toole. the veteran comedian. Is an
other actor who has cen lowered with q
remarkable memory. and few men have
needed it more. His was a most laborious
apprenticeship. and it Is doubtful whether
even he could say within hundred, how
many parts he has learned In his time. Il
have played as many as eighteen parts In a
week. he stated not long ago: "Often have
been studying another part while have been
playing new one, and many time after
rehearsal in the morning and acting at night
