Taylor of Tennessee.
 The Hon. Robert Love Taylor of Tennessee is one of the few senators who has not yet been heard from on the subject of the tariff. But he Is expected to take the floor within few days--probabiy on Monday if there Is a convenient opening. If he can not get In then It will not be many days before the senator will be heard from.
 Few members of the upper branch of Congress pay closer attention to the proceedings than Senator Taylor. Some of his legislative associates tell him that 1t is habit that so grown on him that he will listen to about the dryest things that could possibly be said in the chamb,e. But the gem ial and fun making lecture has evid- ently had a motive. Repeatedly when ask ed why he has been SO quiet during his service here his answer has been that he was getting his bearings Thus far he has made only one speech since coming to the senate He has been posting hie self and when he Is heard from his friends have an idea that he will say things that will prove to be decidedly interesting.
 Tn the speeche he has made. Sen ator Bradley of Kentucky has stuck "a going to talk soon again--probabiy on the subject of whether hides shall be placed on the free list, or be sub- jected to a duty.
 ''Why do you not toss aside all manuscript and give the Senate a sample of the speech you would make down in Ksntucky?" Governor Brad ley was asked.
 "I've a notion to do that very thing" was his reply. All who know Senator Bradley are aware of the fact that he's a mighty lively talker on tho stump. If he discusses hides he VIII doubtless that some interesting points to make about the bushels of letters that have been coming to him as q result of circulars sent out to his constituents by the business conle binations in various sections ardently in favor of free hides.

The little town of Faenza. in the north of Italy--whence comes tine dai- Ieate pottery known as ~faience"--was the birthplace of Torriceiii, the Invent or of the barometer and its citizens recently celebrated the tercentenary of that famous mathematician's birth. Arising out of the celebrations. Father Alfani, a local priest, conceived the idea of erecting a unique permanent memorial to Tcrrieeli, and Faenza now possesses the biggest barometer in ex- istence Torrieeili was a pupil of Gal ileo, and it was the latter's perplexfty as 10 the reason why a column of wa- ter in a closed tube never rose above thirty-three feet which induced his pupil to attempt a solution of the prob- lem, with the result that he proved, not only that the water was sustained at that height by atmospheric pressure but that a similarly suspended column of mercury was shorter than the coll umn of water in exact proportion tc its greater specific gravity.

Johnston and Jehnson.

Senator Johnson, of North Dakota. is a very solemn. serious man. Senator Johnston, of Alabama. is quick to see a joke, likes good story and tells lots of them, and he knows also how to play a joke More than that he gets heaps of solid fun out of things That mi&ht aBpear pretty dry to other folks
 The other day the North Dak Sta sen- ator in the course of his remarks on a certain schedule of the tariff bill mentioned the various things that are placed on the average dinner table. Oh, how he did plead for the rights of the consumer and point out the danger of making it cost the poor man more than it should for the necessities of life. And he got also to taking the wider range by running over the things that more prosperous people could afford to eat. Indeed, he finally made up q menu calculated to make his listeners hungry.
 Along with jams and lot of other things the North Dakotah apparently forgetting that there is pretty stin internal revenue tax on peach brandy. and that 1t really does not figure in the tariff connection. mentioned that article just as if 1t might be a daily thing on the table. t
 The Alabamian walked over to tho North Dakotan's seat when he had concluded and said substantially to him:
 Look here. senator. you are fixing to get me into a lot of trouble. The papers right often fail to state just where you are from. and some of your speeches are supposed to have been made by me. You must remember that Alabama is a prohibition State now. and If my constituents think I am ad. vocating peach brandy on the table every day do not know what they will think of me-"
 Not near so strong for prohibition as my people," said the North Dakotan. That peach brandy reference may get me into worse trouble than 1t would make for you"
 And another thing" Senator John Ston went on to explain to the senator without the 't" in his name. you had a game list in your excellent menu today. If the people down in Alabama get me confused this time with you and they find out that so much game was mentioned and 'possums were not
