NOW THE FLOWER SANDWICH.
Dainty Morseis Which Are Served at
Debutante Luncheons and Teas.

The latest wrinkle of TIE dainty
houSekeeper is to se.re flower sand
wiches' to her guests at an afternoon
tea.
Of course, these delicacies are exclu-
siVely feminine. and no woman is so
foolish as to try 10 satisfy the mascu-
line appetite with such morsels.

NUNS she serves chrysanthemum
sandwiches, or if sweet peas, violets,
roses, carnations, prevail in the dec
orations, she Will have her sandwiches

The fragrance is extracted from the
hoWers and impaired to the sand
Wiches by cutting the butter to be used
In thin blocks, wrapping it in cheese
cloth, smothering it with flowers and
letting it stand for several hours in a
tightly closed jar.
The bread is cut in paper like slices,
spread with the perfumed butter and
spTinkled with petals of flowers.
The sandwiches are rolled and tied
with ribbon to match the flowers.
After they have been put back in the
jar with the flowers they are served
IN veritable bed of blooms, and if
they are not the most substantial
things in the food line they are at
least novel and dainty, and at present
are quite the thing at debutante lunch

chronicles of Congress. for then oe- cured the first scandalous breach of decorum that was ever witnessed in that body Congress was then in ses- sion in Philadelphia. The fight took place in the House of Representatives during the balloting for managers to conduct tho impeachment of Blout. and the principals were Roger Griswold of Connecticut and Matthew Lyon of Yer mont. It was Lyon that cast the vote that made Thomas Jefferson President of the United States.
 The fight took place after the House had convened. Lyon was sitting in his chair. when Grlswold approached car rying a hickory stick. and immediately began heating him over the head. Ly- on defended himself as best he could. retreating to the fireplace where he picked up the tongs. and struck Gris- wold with them. They then dropped their weapons and closed, both falling to the floor.
 The demorallzed members hastened to pull them apart. and the fight was over. The House was then called to order. and a demand was made for the expulsion of both Lyon and Griswold. but the resolution was defeated.
 There Is still In existence a cartoon of the event, published in Philadelphia in 179s. It is called The Congression- al Pugilists." and faithfully reproduces the scene of the fight, with these words written under the picture:
 "He in a trice struck Lyon thrice
 Upon his head, enrag'd sir;
 Who seiz'd the tongs to ease his
 And ariswold thus engaged. sir"

Favrot was then running for Congress. and the day after election. day he called on the doctor for an explanation and an apology. They met at the elevator shaft in the building where the doc- tor had his office; the latter had ample time to defend himself, but he did not take advantage of it, and was

PistoI in sennte ohamh.r.

On the 17th of April. 1850, much. ex- cltement was occasioned in the Senate by the conduct of Messrs, Foote and benton. On several occasions prior 3to that date these two men had had sav- erai sharp personal alterations during tne oeoates In the Senate. On the 17th while Senator Foote was speaking ir, reply to Senator Benton, the latter started from his seat and moved to- ward Senator Foote. Senator Foofa instantly left his seat and took his stand In front of the Secretary's table. at the same time drawing and cockInr a loaded pistol
 A scene of the greatest excitement ensued, the two men were finally sem arated by other Senators. and Foote in- duced to give up his weapon. This was the first time that any member of Con- gress had produced fire arms in the Senate chamber. The Senate adjourned that session without taking any stems in the matter, except admin stering, a severe rebuke to the hot tempered Sen atofs.
 On May 22. 1856, an assault and bat tery was committed upon Senator Charles Sumner by Preston s. Brooks, of South Carolina. a member of the House, in the Senate chamber. Brooks lurked for an hour about the lobby, hoping to meet Sumner with a view of attacking him. Failing in this, he entered the Senate chamber just as that body adjourned. Seeing several ladies present. he seated himself on the opposite side from Sumner. Short ly after the ladies withdrew, and he approached Sumner and said in a quiet tone of voice:
 Mfr. Sumner I have read your speech with great care, and with as. much inn partiality as am capable of doing, and feel 1t my duty to say to you that you have published libel on my State. and uttered slander oN a rela- tive. who Is aged and absent, and l have come to punish you"

Left Sumner Bleeding.

At the conclusion of these words Sumner attempted to spring to his feet, but was struck by Brooks a back handed blow across the head with thick. but hollow. and he continued striking him until the stick, was brok- en. and Summer lay prostrate and bleeding on the floor
 When the attack was made on Sum ner there were about twenty persons present, among them several officers of the Senate. Governor German and some strangers. but Brooks's move ments were so quick that no one could stop him.
 The Senate held that this. assault could only be punished by the House of Representatives. for Thomas Jefter- son, in his manual of parliamentary practice. laid down this law: Neither House can exercise authority over member or officer of the other, but should complain to the house of which he Is a member, and leave the punish ment to them" ..4...
 The House of Representatives ap- pointed a committee to investigate the case on May B. On June this com mittee reported. declaring the assault to be a breach of the privileges of the House as a CO., ordinate branch of the government. and recommended Mir. Brooks's expulsion. The resolution failed to receive the necessary two- thirds majority. but on the same day Mir Brooks announced that he had re- signed his seat.
 John Adams. the private secretary of President John Quincy Adams. while bearing a message from the President to the Senate, was assaulted in the TO- tunda of the capitol by Russell Jarvis It was a debatable question as to whether the Senate could punish the crime. as Adams was not member of that body. but they finally resolved that the assault having taken place within the walls of the capitol. upon the private secretary. of the President, who was charged with the delivering of an executive message to the Senate when in session. was in contempt of the sovereign power of the nation, and 4 breach of the privilege of the Sem ate. The Senate then adjourned with out further action being taken.

wonderful Jewels.
 London, April 1S.-The fashions of Old Testament days at the period of the exodus are splendidly shown as result of the explorations recently made fin the Valley of the Tombs of the Kings of Thebes. Professor Sayce tells of the jewels of the Egyptian Queen Ta-usert and of articles that belonged to Rameses II, one heirloom of the Pharaoh of the Oppression" being an exquisite ring of open gold work forming the names and titles of the King.
 Two large golden epaulettes also bear the name of Rameses II, and are formed of poppy-heads hanging from a plate. which itself hangs from a golden bar. at the ends of which are screwed on a rosette and a blos- som of globular shape. pair of silver bracelets bear a representation of Seti II on his throne, with a fly whisk in his hand. while Queen Ta- usert stands in front of him.
 great number of gold rosettes has also been discovered inscribed with the names of both King and Queen. They were probably attached to a dress. since a stud of gold with A hook has been passed through the cen- ter of each.
 Among the Queen Ta-usert's other jewels are some hundreds of open work balls and pendent poppy-heads, which were strung alternately on a series of thereads so far as to form a pee toral. which. as everything is of solid gold. must have been of considera ble weight. There are no fewer than

CHURCH MADE GEAR RICH.
Greatest Part of Russia's Income From
 Religious Lands.


 Religious Lands.
 St. Petersburg, April 1S.-Lands that belonged to the church furnish a large portion of the present income of the Imperial family of Russia, the richest of all European royalty. These vast areas are known as the Imperial Domains and belong absolutely to the Romanon dynasty. In the Middle Ages, the church in Russia was not only the repository of all the learning of the land, but its bankers and usur- CTS also, and the wealth amassed in the course of centuries was enormous. The Russian Church Is not poor now, but the bulk of its vast possessions passed to the House of Romanoff century ago. The Imperial Domains comprise 21 ,32s.O00 acres, an area larg- CT than Ireland. About rwo-thirds of this area Is forest, out of which good revenue is made; the timber ex- ported from Archangel is known all over the world, while the estate of Bleovezh, that magnificent forest where are still preserved herds of the aurochs, annually provide for sale B. 900, 900 feet of timber: another estate in the Vologda Province produces 20o,- 900 of the largest timber trees annual ly for the Imperial saw mills there.
 The other third of the area com prlSeo Tn the imperial Oomalns, some thing larger than all Wales. is highly cultivated land. The greater part of this is rented to others, 15.000 lots for purely agricultural purposes and 10000 for the higher forms of culti- vation, fruit, vineyards, etc.
 The clear profit derived from these various sources Is over $10,000.000 per annum. During the past hundred years, since the church property was converted to the Imperial use, sum of $1,250, ,o00, 900 has been paid out to various members of the Imperial House.

BY WILLIAM K. HOWARD.

Within the past few weeks Uni- ted States Senator was a principal Tn a sensational street fight in Little Rock. Ark, for which he was fined 3zS, and a Representative in Congress from Alabama shot man in street car in Washington, and he is now out on bail. Similar affairs have occurred from time to time in America since the days of the Revolution thus show ing that lawmakers of every genera ton are apt to take the law into their own hands.
 When General Andrew Jackson was President he had numerous street fights in Washington. and when General Sam Houston made a personal assault on Representative William Stanberry of Ohio he pardoned him.. although Houston had been fined by the District of Columbia court for the act. and the House of Representatives after a long trial. had voted that he was guilty of contempt and violation of the privileges of the House.
 The Constitution provides that Con- gressman can only be arrested for treason. felony and breach of the peace. In all other cases they, are exempt from arrest during their at- tendance at the sessions of their re- spective houses. and in going to and returning from the same.
 The Senate Is not a court of crim- lenses; 1t cannot take cognizance of q breach of the peace, as such, but as a breach of its privileges. and in this character the offender is subject to arr rest. In the House of Representatives there Is no punishment for personal violence, the House usually being satis- ned with an ample apology.

 Some years ago Senator Hernando De Soto Money, of Mississippi. got into an altercation with street car conductor over transfer in Washing ton.

Herbert was at breakfast, and. having made some remarks. to the waiter of an insulting character, an altercation en- sued: the result of which was the shooting of Heating with a pistol.
 There were no witnesses of the shooting except Dr.. Gardner, warm friend of the Representative, and Mir. Dubois, the minister from The Hague. The latter was the only impartial witt ness, but he refused to go to the court to testify. on the ground that he was a foreign representative. He was. however. willing to go to the State Department and give all the details, leaving the Secretary at liberty to have all the persons whose presence he might deem useful to witness the interview.
 Secretary Macy appealed to the Uni- ted States Minister at The Hague. Mir. Belmont. who promptly. called on Ear on Won Hall, the minister of foreign affairs. But the minister informed Mir. Belmont that Mir. Dubois conduct had been fully approved by all the members
