How GEORGE Eliot Wrote Novels.

The famous authoress George Eliot
was very particular about her sur
roundings when she was engaged on
novel She exercised the greatest care
over her dress and insisted that every
thing IN her beautiful study was in
perfect order. She displayed none of
the modern writer's feverish energy
and seldom wrote more than sixty lines
a day. Directly she finished a novel
she was a victim to terrible nervous
exhaustion in such an acute form that
only a trip to Italy or France effected
a cure to her normal condition.

BABY'S EYESIGHT

 Much MoneyWast inFruitlesS Treatments-Disease Was Soon
CURED AT SLIGHT COST
 BY CUTICURA REMEDIES

"Our little girl was two months old when she got rash on her face and within five days her face and head were all one sore. We used different reme- dies but it got worse instead of better and we thought she would turn blind and that her ears would fall of. She suffered terribly, and would scratch until the blood came. At night we had to pin her hands down. This went on until she was Ave months old, then I had her under our family doc tors care, but she continued to grow worse. He said it was eczema. When she was seven months old started to use Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent, and in three weeks - what a changel kept using the Cuticura Remedies for two months and our baby was different girl. You could not see Q sign of sore and she was as fair as a newborn baby, and all for the small cost of a dollar and seventy i've cents where we had spent ten times the money for factoring. She is now two years old and has not had Q sIgn of the eczema since. Mrs. H. E. Budke, R. F. D. 4, LeSueur, Minn.s Apr. IS and May 2. 1907"

 Congress has not been doing so much talking as some of the critics as- sert this session. Before convenins there was general prediction that the session would be of the "do-noth- ing variety on account of it being ' presidential year. Notwithstanding that there was good reason for this prediction, and good reason to expect a great volume of talk with little re- seult, the desire to specialization has not been induleed as much as in past sessions.
 There has been about 5,O0O pages 1 Of talking up to date That means 1 the Compression Record has been taken up to this eXtent with the say inss, as well as the doings That s not so much.
 1 The causal observer would look to see great amount of legislation for eiA1o '9leASN. tl"' 'Sii tL CaiI NStil ol conversation A comparison with other sessions however, throws some light on the question.
 l The session which ended March ] last which was the second of the fifty-ninth congress, filled nearly as much space as this session has done
 thus far. The first session of the fifty-ninth congress filled more space comparatively A comparison with other sessions than those mentioned makes it seem that, instead of doing a great deal of talking. the present congress has been holding back on speech-making.
 For this the senate can be thanked
 The House has not evidenced a desire
 to be brief. Representative have been
 talking with great power of endurance
 The senate has remained rather mute
 and has held the total amout of spact
 in the Record down to what it is. There are several reasons why the House does more talking than the sen ate, chief among which is that y;une
 stat .sman. newly arrived in Washing. tor, have a desire to spread theil
 wings and try themselves out. They
 never rose an opportunity to indu.a'
 in a fov of oratory and they never
 feel so comfortable as when readirs

 has been no lack of speed ln the in troduction of bills. Up to date ahou
 21 ,O00 bills have been introaGcep! il , the House. This is nearly fifty apicc for every member of the House.

If the Beveridge child labor bill de- pended upon the women of the country, there would never have been any doubt of the outcome. Women's clubs in every part of the country have been most active in support of the measure and have deluged congress with peti- tions for it's passage.
 Senators have been bombarded with petitions, personal letters and letters of advice to support the measure ever since it was introduced. Naturally when a senator finds large percent age of women in his own state SC keenly interested in a law, he appre- ciates what it means.

The Man With The Hen.

Tell me not in broken measures
Modern farming does not pay,
Fol farm produces chickens,
And the hens-do they not lay?
Eggs are high and going higher,
And the price is soaring fast;
Every time we get to market,
It is higher than the last.
Not a coop but that produces,
Every day an egg or two;
So the farmer gains his hundreds,
Even though the hens be few.
Every egg is very precious,
And the hens are held in awe;
When the farmer hears one cackle,
He gives loud "Haw; haw!'
In the broad and busy farm-yard
Struts rooster now and then.
But the shrewd, progressive farmer.
Has eyes only for the hen.
Trust no rooster, how snowy
Be the feathers in his tail;
Pay attention to the biddies.
And your wealth will never fail.
Lives of farmers all remind US
We may roll in wealth some day,
If we hustle to the market
With the eggs our pullets lay.-Ex-
change.
