A REMAlikAuLE SENATOR.

No observer OF the tariff debate in

sarcastic mention of one of those
numerous democrats in the lower
house who, Tor home consumption,

1.-THE tariff-and then voted for tar
Iiff on lumber. The following passage
then took place--one of those unusu-
| al interludes which relieve the de-
bates and recall an older generation
when classical allusion was more
common in the senate:
! Mr.. Gallinger-In another body
mot long ago a distinguished gentle
man saidd: "The tariff bill is moth
ling short of an outrage The witches
whom Macbeth met on the heath
Inever brewed a hell broth half so
vile as this legislative compound. y
| Then that gentleman plunged his
Hands into the caldron of broth and
pulled out a prize package incribed

it.
Mr.. Gore-Mr. President, I re
member something else from the
| tragedy of Macbeth" where Mac
beth himself had occasion to ex-
claim:
And be these Juggling fiends no
more believed
That palter with us in a double
sense;
/ That keep the word of promise to
our ear,
And break it to our hope.
The aptness of the allusion, the
fact that senator Cores quotation
icame from the same play that Gal
Finger mentioned, his speedy res
ponse with the best description in
| English poetry of a double-dealer,
all constitute a remarkable bit of
/ repartee. The senator who accom-
| plished this has been blind since he
was II years old. He never read
Macbeth or anything else-he
has only heard them. No other sena-
Itor has shown either such memory
or such command of classical allus-
ion or such mental agility. Most men

HINTS FOR THE BUNGALOW.
The FircIeSs Cooker Gfea' WIN
yenipnce in the Summer camp.

/ The EIT"lpSS Cooker 'i'"'
venience in the Summer Camp
! No one expecting to--sfterr1 vile
summer in a bungalow, camp or
farmhouse without modern conven-
fences should be without fireless
stove
This is not necessarily for cooking,
! but for the morning bath. Take a
wooden box two feet high and four
| feet long and have it fitted with
hinged cover, Fill the box with ex-
celsior or sawdust, and make in this
two holes so as to snugly hold two
| tin pals. Cover the contents and
line the holes with flannel. In the
evening boil the water and fill the
pals at that temperature and put
! them in the fireless stove, and COW
er. The next morning the water will
be so hot that it must be tempered
with cold water, and will furnish
two baths.
The fireless stove, if necessary,
can be used for cooking For exam
pie, if the family desire to all go
off for a day picnicking or on an
excursion, an Irish stew, to take a
familiar illustration, can be brought
TO boil on the stove, and then put
the stew will be found as well cook
ed as if it had been simmeriug on
the back of the range, as stew
should be cooked all day,
An impromptu safe may be made
for vegetables by taking wire net
ting and building an enclosure ac-
cording to the needs of the family.
If there is a cellar, there it should
be placed and made large enough
to be entered by a wire door. The
shelves, as many as need be, run
around the side, and also are made
of the wire netting. Here can be
placed not only the vegetables, but
the jellies and preservs. the canned
goods and even the garden tools,
for the door should have spring
lock and secure the contents not
only from the rats, but from thieves
and, possibly, from the children.
eIndeed there is nothing more
useful in impromptu summer dwell
lings than plenty of wire netting, so
many are the uses to which it can be
put. Wire netting, gilded, makes fine
transoms, as well as chicken coops,
garden fences and trellis for the
vines.
Another thing that is well to have
on hand IS the fol iius frame built
for the ironed clothes, but which
can be put to other and varied uses.
If screen is necessary the frame
can be covered for screen. II per-
son is i'll, draped with table cover
or a blanket. 1t can stand between

WORK WORTHY OF WOMEN.
In Preventing Cruelty to Animals

A woman in Cincinnati the other
day caused the arrest of man who
was cruelty beating a horse. That

the offender and bring about his
prosecution when a small army OF
male spectators had declined to in

| Here Is a field of endeavor in
which women are constantly putting
men to shame. The man may argue
quietly to his friend that such cruel

be invoked, but it is always the wQm-

1t has long been the contention
that women never know how to

ROYAL Mischief.

Astory of Emperor Williams six
boys is given in the Congregationalist.
When all the princes were younger
and lived together there were lively
times in the old Schloss.
One day they found amusement in
running down little spiral staircase
and popping suddenly out into the
court, so as to make the guards sta
toned there jump to their feet, and
present arms. Then back scampered
the little princes, only to reappear
three minutes later. How long this
would have continued is hard to tell,
had not the Kaiser, whose working
room locked out on the court, sent
down a lackey to see what all the
racket was about" So this fun had
to be given. up, and the little princes
were compelled to return meekly to
the playroom.
At another time, when the emperor
was holding 6. private conference with
some of his ministers he was dis
turbed by loud whispers in the ante
room. Excusirg himself, he stepped
outside just in time to see the climax
of the frolic. On the floor in a row
stood the fine tall silk hats of his
ministers. Directly in front of each
was stationed little prince, the
crown prince heading the line.
When count three" he had com
manded, well all sit down." And
then ne began to count.
The Kaiser arrived just as the
three" fell from the crown princes
lips and had the pleasure Of seeing
his minister's fine hats completely
crushed by his small sons. Is it to
be wondered that the Kaiser says he
has six Of the worst boys in Berlin?"

Last fall when | was visiting a
friend in the country a neighbor, who
lived next door to- her, had dear lit
tie puppy dog named Teddy Winks.
He was funny looking, wiry haired
terrier and not at all large. But he
could learn to do so many things and
was SO obedient that he was liked by
everybody.
His master lived long way from
the postoffice and could not always
send a servant with the mail, but he
could trust Teddy Winks to take it
quite carefully, holding it cutely by
one corner. His master had only to
say, Teddy, | want you to post a let
ter" and he would jump around, look
ing so anxious and ready to go. Then
his master would put piece of sugar
on his nose, and Teddy would keep it
there until his master had the letter
addressed and sealed Then as soon
as Teddy,saw that his master. had fin
ished he would jerk the lump of sugar
from his nose, catch it in his mouth
and be off. The man at the postofice
always had a nice sweet biscuit for
Teddy, and always tied a bit of string
to his collar, which showed his master
when he got home that he had brought
the letter quite safely-Dorothy Hill

chemists of the Bureau of Forest and
Plant Industry Of the Department Of
Agriculture are carried to further

found that fine grades Of paper can be
manufactured from cornstalks at a
cost almost as low as the present cost
OF making wood paper pulp. In the
experiments, the chemists used the $50

of the pulp from the cornstalks was
completed in from two to two and one
half hours, whereas the preparation Of
the wood pulp requires from IL to IA
