Prentiss and His Wit.

Sergeant 5. prentiss was a great
lawyer and an eloquent orator as
well as humorist, but his humor
though at times excessive, never OBJ
scured his Oratory or weakened his
argument, He was once engaged in
a political discussion on "the stump"
with gentleman who was wordy
duIl and spoke against time" so
that Prentiss might speak at a dis
advantage. 1t was nearly dark when
Prentlss rose, and the same moment
a Jackass IN a neighboring pound
began Drawing and kept it up until
Prentiss' friends were ANNOYED and
MS opponents delighted. When the
lackass stopped, frentiss. CASTING a
comlcal look at his unfair antao-
onist, said:
Il did not come here TODAY to
reply to two equally eloquent
tpeeches." Then he sat down and
his friends carried him from the
stand in their arms.

An interesting experiment has
been tried by well known natural
list, Having caught a number of
bees as they returned to the hive
laden with honey, he inclosed them
in a light receptacle and weighed
them, the weight of the box being
deducted from the total. The same
bees were again captured on emery
ing from the hive and again placed
on the delicate scales, The result Of
the two operations showed that
when laden the bees weighed three
times as much as when empty.

Under the proprietorship of l. s.
Drew the old American House at
Burlington was one of the most
popular hotels IN Vermont, and it
was the scene of many a humorous
episode. One night after supper Mr.
Drew was welcoming a new arrival
IN the office when an extremely cor
pulent guest came out of the dining
room. Pointing to the fat man.
Mr.. Drew said: "You can see how
well we feed our guests. Just look
at that man" 1t CHANGED that a
permanent resident of the hotel
overheard the remark. This man
was extremely thin-just the oppo-
site of the guest referred to by
Mr.. Drew. The thin boarder at
once spoke up, saying: eyes, that
fat man has been here three DAYS
| have been here thirty years. Look
at me!'

Glass That Keeps Out Heat.

An Austrian inventor, Richard
Szlgmondy, is reported to have
made a new kind of window glass
whose chief popularity is that it
prevents the passage of nine-tenths
of the heat Of the suns rays. 1t is
well known that ordinary window
glass allows nearly all of the heat
derived from the sun to pass
through. but, on the other hand,
intercepts all heat coming from
mountainous sources, such as Il
stove or the heated ground. This
is the reason why heat accumulates
under the glass roof of a dollhouse.
If covered with Szigmondy's glass a
dollhouse would, it is claimed, be-
come a cold house, since the heat
could not get into it. One advan-
tage set forth in favor of the new
glass is that house whose windows
were furnished with it would re-
main delightfully."- cool in summer.
But in winter perhaps the situation
would not be so agreeable. - st.

Forgot the NioIets.

Among the characteristics of
Walter Savage Lander. the famous
author, were his observation-disclosures
and his passionate love for animals
and the vegetable world, On one
occasion, having suffered not long
before from leaving the key Of his
portmanleau behind him, he took
special precautions before starting
ON a journey to see that his KEYS
were in his pocket. When, however,
he produced them in triumph at his
journeys end he found that he had
left the portmanteau behind. Lam
dor, though he often handled his
fellow men somewhat roughly, hat
ed to see an old tree felled and even
shrank from plucklng a rose. One
morning he collarcd his man cook
and flung him out of the window.
Then, suddenly remembering on
what bed in the garden the man
would fall, the flower loving Lander
exclaimed: Good heavens! for
got the poor violets"

DON'T 60 To SLEEP.
Iillman and Bailey Say the Rate Law
will Give Relief.

Washington, May 2S.-Toward the
close of the rate bill debate ia the SEN
ate, the Senator's began to defend their
position in discussing railroad legisla-
tion for months.
They pointed out what everybody
now admits, that they improved the
rate bill and made it stronger.
In the winter of 1905, there was great
clamor for the quick passage by the
senate OF the Townsend bill
which thousands of people thought was
Just the thing. Now it has no advo-
Gates IN or out OF congress.
The democratic leaders seem Quite
well satisfied with the Hepburn-Till-
man bill.
Senator Tillman and Senator Bailey
both said if the bill fails to give the re-
lief expected, it will be because the
people themselves will go to sleep.
Senator Tillman in his manly wav.
publicly thanked President Roosevelt
for his strenuous help. Tillman feels
bitterly toward the President but paid
him tribute for his cooperation.
Senator Teller said there had not
Deen "a more important question be-
tore congress in SO years, and he added ::
Much has been said about the con.
stitutional lawyers here, as If this were
not the place of all others where there
should be constitutional lawyers, as If
it were blight upon the character Of a
member OF this body that he should as

the United States. Effective legislation
on this subject must be brought within

We have heard from more than one

admit that it is not yet settled CUES

that we can not ourselves sit down and

Judge Olcott has just returned from
