Five-Minute Rule to Govern.
SERVICE TO COUNT.
New Plan Suggested for Allotment
of Seats in Horse.

A resolution was introduced yesterday
by Representative Loudenslaser of New
Jersey result of the general disssat-
isfaction among the old-time republicans
over the poor iuck they had this year
in the biennial seat lottery IN the House
The Loudenslager resolution provides
for the selection of seats according to
length of service in the House. If two
or more members have served the
same length of time, numbers corresp pond
ing ~ their names will De shaken III IN
box and they Will draw lots for prior
choice of seats. The resolution also pro-
vides that the selection of seats shall be
made Immediately after the member are
sworn i'll AT the opening of a new Con-
gress and that this selection shai. hold
good for The entire Congress.
1t is said to be probable that MIR Ill
denslager's resolution was inspire by
the fact that in the allotment last week
themselves relegated To seats far in the
rear of their juniors. and some of them
were even forced To choose seats III the

One OF the most interesting trials
that ever took place in any country
was shat of James stevens in the Cali

stances were as follows:
There were four prospectors in the

there was at its height. among whom
Stevens was one. They struck il

the United States. Just before ieav-
ing Stevens got into a faro game and
lost everything he had. Winter was
coming on and he babe fair to starve
unless something was done for him.
So the other three decided to pay him
so much to guard their dust on the
ship and pay his way home to san
Francisco. They each had their share
of dust and nuggets accurately
weighed and then put them into
common Pile. pending, of course, their
reapportionment on reaching port.
This they placed in strong box
which they nailed up and sealed care
fully. 1t was stevens duty to watch
this by day and sleep by it by night
until the destination was reached,
There was exactly 200 pounds avoirdu-
pois of the gold, sworn to by a regular
weigher. 1t was worth a great deal
of money.
Well, everything went along smoothly
until San francisco was reached. Ste.

Wonder of wonders! VIII they ever
cease! For years inventors have made
flying machines Without being able to
fly with them-until recently. So sci
entists for years have had electricity,
but the mystery has beefN how to apply
II for medical purposes to produce the
best results. 1t is now no longer a
mystery.
Now come the Electropodes which

be described as a magnet so stealthily
that the current cannot be felt even by
the person. who is using them, yet pro-
ducing such a powerful force as to turn
the weakest nerves into vigorous whip
cords" and put an end to some of the
most obstinate diseases.
The simplicity of Electropodes, as
well as their results, are almost incred-
ible. They have an astonishing effect
on nerve weakness, brain flag, loss of
ambition, courage and energy, loss of
memory and especially on nervous pros
tration. For rheumatism, neuralgia.
Kidney trouble, bac6ache, weak heart,
