ALL AT SEA
Are Members of Both Parties as to
Financial Legislation Necessary
BV Congress.


Washington, Dec Never at the
beginning of any Congress have the
congressional leaders of both parties
found themselves more at sea coz
corning legislation than they are on
the eve of the Sixtieth assembly of
the national legislature, which will
take place tomorrow at noon. Very
little except the financial situation is
engaging the attention of any men,
Der OF either house, and all the mem-
Oers OF both houses, whether leaders
Tor followers, confess their inability
to forecast what may be done on that
subject. All of them lament the pres
ent situation, but all of them do not
believe that the remedy for it is to
be found in legislation. There is
some general division along party
lines, but there is also great diver
genee OF, view among both Republi-
cans and Democrats. In view of this
state of affairs it is very evident that
little attentiOnNwiIl be given to other
questions untiltthere car be some
crystallizatiOn of thought on the fl
naneial problem. !
In his speech Of acceptance last
night Speaker CANTON animated the
possibility Sor'Nsoase am endments to
the railroadFate law, aid but for the
disturbance in the M ney centers
there is little doubt til BIT this would
hayelbeen undertaken 4 uring the ses-
sion. : 1t is stilll possible that some
thing may be attempted in that line,
but all plans tg that end are now
quite nebulous. The Democrats have
already indicated a purpose of trying
to force the tariff to the front, but
the Republicans are so largely in the
majority in both houses and are so
well United in their purpose of post
pOning action upon this important
, subject until after the presidential
election that their opponents have
very little hope of accomplishing any
thing beyond getting recognition for
a few speeches for campaign con-
sumption.

A Natural Barometer.

F-om the St. Louis Globe-Democrat
 A storekeeper on South Broadway has a piece of stone about as large as a mans fist in which he places more confidence as a weather indicator than he does in all the weather bureaus of the country. He brought it with him from Germany when he came to St. Louis many years ago, and although his neighbors told him that the stone would not work in America, he finds lAat it operates about as well in Mis- souri as it did in the old country. He says there is mine of it in Saxony and another somewhere in Russia, and that in parts of both countries near to the mines many country people pro vide themselves with Jumps of the stone for use as family baromters. It is composed of limestone almost as soft as chalk, with nitre, clay and rock salt. When the air is dry the stone is light gray with white spots of salt and nitre, but when the air is filled with moisture and a storm is coming on the salt and nitre turn black. The principle is recognized in the manufac- ture of one or two patent fancy barom- eters, but whether the inventors took the hint from the stone can not be ascertained

EdIard Everett Hale in Womans Home
 Companion.
 1 once heard the distinguished Sena tor Edmunds from Vermont, when he was d leader in the Senate, tell this story of his young days
 He was a student of law and was mak- ing his first visit in the city of Wash ington. Of course, the supreme court interested him greatly. The law library was close at hand, and was by far the finest law library which the young man had ever seen. When he was not listen ing in the court room he was apt to be reading in the library
 One Gay he was sitting happy in an all cove, reading in a black letter treatise which he had never seen before. There entered from the court room, without ob- serving him. two gentlemen in earnest conservation These were Daniel Webs ter and Rufus Choate, eagerly discussing some intricate point. They had come in from the court room to talk 1t over. They paid no attention to the young man who sat reading, but he could not help but hear. and I think he had q right to listen. At a critical moment in the discussion he turned over the leaves of the quaint old book, put his finger on an essential passage, and

About Precipitation of the Hands

Excessive precipitation of hands. From which many persons suffer in warm weather, is one that many times can be checked or kept in control.
 When external conditions alone are re- sponsible, that is to say, the system is in good order, lotions and powders may correct the trouble entirely.
 One that will help 10 contract the pores of the hands Is made of two ounces of cologne and a quarter ounce of tincture of belladonna.
 This may be put on several times a day and allowed to remain, and when possible they may be dusted afterward with powder made of q half ounce each of subntrate of bismuth and powdered oeate of lead-zine. Put on before wearing gloves, bat then and at any other time an effort should be made to keep it from the outside of the fingers and the backs of the hands, as it is very drying.
 Another powder composed of one-half ounce of oleate of zinc, an ounce of powdered magnesie and one seruple of salicylic acid. This should be thoroughly mixed and used as frequently as one wishes.
 One lotion that is good is made of two drams of isinglass, two drams of tur- pentine and four drams of oxide of zinc ointment It should be well mixed, warm ing the turpentine slightly and pouring over the isinglass, which should dis solve
 When there is simply slight moisture, a natural flow of precipitation, toilet vine gar will be found useful. This may be rubbed into the palms after washing.

The Wise Lawyer.
rom Harper's Weekly

From Harper's Weekly
 How do some lawyers practice law ? One of a class is now doing time on Blackwelrs island, and without him es- pecially in mind, but dealing with his kind, tale that was told on the day of his troubled journey to prison will throw some light on some lawyers whom the courts permit to practice. A dstin- guished member of the profession of the right kind was journeying from New York tc Albany to argue a case before the court of appeals According to the fashion of his antique day, he wore on his bosom diamond of the kind known to the world as a headlight" As he slept peacefully in his chair in the car. a man stumbled upon him. When he reached Albany his pin was gone. He was an eloquent advocate, and had often been retained by the lawyers of the sums to defend high-paying criminals, and he had become wise He wrote to his son. afterward a judge, but who was then being made wise. the circumstances of the case, adding: 'If you consult our friends and -, perhaps they may throw light on the matter" In few days after rounding up their clients, - and = returned the headlight

" HERE was once a woman Who
 had an alabaster box of oint- ment, and she poured this valu- able gift over the head of the Master, as he sat at meat in a humble home In the village of Bethany.
 No sooner was this act witnessed than it gave vent to an objection: TO men who saw it regarded this act as simply throwing away material that had a commercial value.
 We are all apt to think of gifts in dollars and cents. We see. or want to see, money in everything that we do.
 We are money-mad and, being so, We are apt to solor our vision with it.
 It is no new infirmity, but 1t gets too much attention nowadays and drives away the sweetness and beauty of life Life can be made happy with out much money or without emphaslz- ing this element.
 Take the little that you are getting and take enjoyment in it's use. It may be hard discipline to do Lhis and may demand courage and patience in the trial. But 1t is worth trying The man who has little can more readi- ly get the secret of enjoying life than the man who has much and wants more.
 It is this everlasting desire to get more and make better showing ina t is expressing so many minds in these days and driving them to self struction.
 Wealth does not bring continued happiness. It is no real pleasure to think of ways and means to spend q large income.
 It is the man of small menns who can be really happy, if he will safe guard his condition with simple tastes and desires.
 We can look beyond money. He can make his pleasures apart from his
