Not an odious comparison.

The head clerk had been invited to
an afternoon wedding, and in order
to save time appeared at the Office
in the morning fully "groomed" for
the ceremony. AS he threw aside his
overcoat he was disclosed in all the
majesty of a swagger frock coat OF
the latest cut, gray trousers fashion
ably creased, patent leather shoes and
white puff tie.
His position in the office made him
immune from comments by the under
lings, who, however, regarded him
with serio-comic admiration and
longed to say what they felt.
But the barrier was broken few
minutes after the days business had
begun, and by friend who dropped
in for a moments chat. He was
somewhat lacking in dignity, for
which the clerks blessed him.
Good morning. George" he said
cheerily to the head clerk. Then as
he took second glance az the saf-
torial dream" he added: Great
Scott! What's up? You look like a
certified check"
And even the head clerk Joined IN
the general burst Of laughter.

Mr.. Butt-In in Business.

The 'butt-in" idea has been con-
verified to practical use. Various lines
of wholesale trade now utilize it.
Upon application retail dealers are
supplied with free advertising cards,
on the back Of which the following
is printed:
American Federation of Buffers.

On the front appears the manufac-
turer's announcement. The local
shopkeeper's name and address are
also published. Children buying at
the stores are presented with copies

CAMEL CARRIES A cIsTERN.
Its stomachs So Wonderfully Con-
structed Tb.v s+or. liz W.+.

Its Stomachs So Wonderfully Con-
structed They Store Up Water.
The stomach of camel is divided
into no less than four compartments,
and the walls of one of these are lin
ed with large cells, every one of
which can be opened and closed at
will by means of powerful muscles.
Now, when a camel drinks, it
drinks a great deal. Indeed, it goes
drinking on for such long time that
really you would think that it never
meant to leave OFF. But the fact is
that it is not only satisfying its
thirst, but is filling up it's cistern as
well. One after another the cells in
its stomach are filled with water, and
as soon as each is quite full it is
tightly closed.
Then when the animal becomes
thirsty, few hours later, all that it
has to do is to open one of the cells
and allow the water to flow out. Next
day it opens one or two more cells,
and SO it goes on day after day nm
til the whole supply is exhausted. In
this curious way camel can live five
or even six days without drinking
at all. and so is able TO travel easily
through the desert. where ne wells
are often hundreds of n,i,1s apart.

Despite the fact that but eight days
intervene till congress adjourns,
some hope of action is still entertain
ed by friends of the bill. Senator
Long, of Kansas, said today that
bare chance existed in his opinion, of
the passage of the bill, and ex-Dele-
gate Flynn, of Oklahoma, who has
clared his belief tonight that the ul-
innate outcome of the situation
would be the passage of a bill pro-
viding for two states under the pro-
visions of the Foraker amendment.
Without a dollar being added or
subtracted, the river and harbor ap-
preparation bill passed the house to-
day after the session had run well
into the evening. The total amount
carried by the bill is $17,234,657
Throughout the day the progress of
the bill was impeded by the offering
of amendments, but only those pre-
sented by the committee were adopt
ed, although, on point of order, the
house struck out the committee pro-
vision giving the supervisor Of har-
bors at New York authority to make
regulations regarding the towing of
vessels. The, most important COM
mittee amendment agreed to was one
giving the supervisor of harbors at
New York increased police power
and providing for the protection of
oyster beds against deposits from
dredgings.
Mr.. Carmack, a member of the COM
mittee on interstate commerce, pre-
scented a petition for railroad rate leg
islation. Mr.. Berry Immediately asked
as to the prospect for railroad rate
legislation. Mr.. Carmack gave place
to Mr.. Elkins, chairman of the COM
mittee, to reply. Mr.. Elkins said:
The bill passed by the house reach
ed the senate about ten days ago. Dur
ing that time the senate had had al
most continuous session, but only one
friend of the railroads has been heard.
The committee has given the best at
tention possible to the bill, but there
has been no time to consider the
amendments and there are several to
be important. No decision as to an
effort to pass the bill this session has
been reached, but with limited time
at their disposal it would seem that
there is very little prospect of that re-
suit before adjournment. with only
ten days of the session left, and with
much other imperative business to
be performed.

Oklahoma Statehood Bill Is Again 0c-
cupyIng Senate.
FEAR DEBATE WOULD Be FATAL.
There Seems to Be No Disposition on
the Part of the Friends of the Pro-
vision For Two States to be Made
of Four Territories to Accept a
Compromise.

Washington, Feb. q. = Efforts to
harmonic the differences over the
statehood bill continued fruitlessly in
be no disposition on the part of the
friends of the provision for two states
to be made of the four territories to
accept compromise permitting Okla
hoHa and Indian Territory to come in
at the present session, and compelling
the other territories to wait. When
this was proposed today it was insist
ed that the house would not agree to
any such arrangement A disposition
to debate at any length the adoption
of such a report would be fatal to the
passage of the statehood measure at
this session.
The reading of the naval bill had
been completed, when ten minutes be-
fore IL o'clock Mr.. Beverage was
recognized to renew his motion for
the appointment of conferees on the
joint statehood bill.
Washington, Feb. 27.-The time of
the senate today was divided between
the Swayne Impeachment trial and
the motion of Senator Beveridge to
appoint conferees on the joint state
hood bill. In the Swayne case Messrs.
Perkins, Slayton and Powers made ar
guments in behalf of the prosecution
and Mr.. Higgins responded in Judge
Swayne's behalf, leaving Mr.. Thurs
ton still to speak for Judge Swayne
and Messrs. Dearmond and Palmer
for the house. The trial will be re-
sumed tomorrow.
The examination of the senators
who are managing the impeachment
trial of Judge Swayne that an agree
ment will be made tomorrow to take
a vote on Monday.
MIR. Morgan antagonized the motion
to appoint conferees on the statehood
bill, and held the floor in opposition
when the senate adjourned
In the house of representatives to-
day the fight that has been waged for
many years against the appropriation
of $130,600 for rental of the old New
OAh SuotOAlA lCoullCu III d VIZ
tory, Mr.. Hemenway Qndiana), chair
man of the committee on appropria-
lions, being unable to muster suffi-
cient strength to retain the provision
in the bill. The opposition was led by
Mr.. Sulzer New York;. supported by
Mr.. Williams (Miss.), the Immortality
leader, both of whom denounced the
expenditure as a public scandal and
in the interest of the Standard Oil
Company, which it was alleged was
behind the National City bank, the
purchaser of the building from the
government. The action in striking
out the provision was on a strictly
party vote.
Washington, Feb. 25.-The condi-
ton OF the statehood bill remained
unchanged today No effort was
made to discuss it, and it was not
sent to conference. Senator Bever-
idge is apparently waiting for over
lures of some kind from the opposi-
ton, and is resting complacently on
the plea that, if no statehood legisla-
ton is enacted, the responsibility for
failure rests with Senator Teller and
the Democrats.

Eerocious Bravery.

In the naval battle between the Eng
lish and the French off Dominica in
April, 1882, an English gunner was
standing by his gun when the ship
sheered abreast of the French flag
ship. The gun was all ready and just
going to fire when shot came in at
the port and took his leg off at the
knee. AS quick as thought the man
pulled off his neckcloth and tied his
leg above the stump. The next instant
he seized his shot-off limb and thrust
1t into the muzzle of his gun, which
went off two seconds later my

French Courtesy AnaIieized.

A few days ago the New York
representatives of kid glove manu-
featuring concern, the headquarters of
which are in an interior town in
France, sent a cablegram announcing
the death of the manager in charge
of the American branch of the bust
ness. The foreign house promptly
forwarded acknowledgment, the wire
reading:
please accept our profound con-
gratulations. Our account prospered
in the hands of Mr.. -. He was a
grand fellow in all respects. We in
terpret his demise as a personal loss"
This was signed by the directors of
the company. The Manhattan estab-
lishment is of the opinion that little
lnowledge-of English-is sad af-
fair also.

"sIsoN BEEF" SOLD IN EN- GLAND.
Result Of Experiments in Crossing
Buffalo and Cattle.

Buffalo and Cattle.
The latest delicacy to tempt the ap-
petites of British epicures is a COM
promise between buffalo meat and
beef. A couple of 2-year-old bullocks,
the result of cross-breeding between
North American bison and highland
cattle were sold at the Newcastle mar
ket yesterday. They had been bred
by Mr. Lyland OF Haggerston castle,
Northumberland, says the New York
World, who has been engaged for sew
eral years in experimenting in this
direction.
The animals were exactly like their
North American cousins in appear
ance, except that they were stronger
and thicker in the headquarters. They
had been reared and fed as wild cat
tie, so great difficulty was experienced
in conveying them to market.
Although they were accommodated
in special boxes, their fury was SO
great that one broke its neck on the
journey, and the other had to be shot
in the market.
The beef, it is said, will be found
of richer quality than that obtained
from a BUFFALO, and if kept for a
month or so more palatable than that
of an ordinary bullock.

Musical Fish.

Lake Batticalo, Ceylon, has the
probably unique distinction of being
the home of musical fish. The
sounds emitted by these are said to
be as sweet and melodious as those
which can be produced by a series of
Aeolian harps. Crossing the lake in
a boat one can plainly distinguish the
pleasant sounds. If an oar is dipped
in the water the melody becomes
louder and more distinct.
