Three Of That Name Are Members os
the Senate and Four Of the House
Two from Michigan.

Senator Smith, newly sent to the
upper house of congress from South
Carolina, Is having trouble with his
mail. He complains that he Is not
getting all that is coming to him. He
will soon learn that the lack OF letters
Is not the least of legislators wor-
ries, and often he will wish that most
Of his mail went astray. But that Is
beside the mark. The point OF impor-
tance is that the South Carolina sena-
tor brings the roll Of congressional
Smiths up to seven, three in the SEN
ate and four in the house. The states
contributing the seven Smiths are
Michigan, which gives two; Maryland,
Texas, Iowa, California and South
Carolina. Thus an association COM
posed of the congressional Smiths
would be widely representative, sec
tionally, and it may be that many an
important legislative question could be
decided to the country's interest as a
result of coherent action on the part
OF these seven, so closely linked by q
strong bond of sympathy. Michigan.
by the way, has always been some
what liberal in its bestowal of Smiths
upon the country. At one time there
were three serving simultaneously in
the house. The newly-seated Smith
may be confused for short time after
his legislative advent, but he soon
learns how to combine dignity and dis
tinction by the use of all the names
bestowed upon him at baptism. Thus
the three -jointed Smith is regarded as
the only normal Smith in congress-.
and soon the public will grow accus-
toned to the South Carolina states

with Ellison and includes a middle
name beginning with B., which has not

cessively proud Of, as is shown by the
title of the one book he has published,
"a Hoosier in Russia" No mention of
Perry Heath would be adequate that
did not announce that in the so years
of his life he has been able to amass
a goodly fortune. That he has come
to Washington to spend this fortune

his good taste, good judgment and

"MATUSHkA VOLGA."

There is an air so popular in Rus
sia that 1t is even more familiar than
their national anthem to the people
of that great mysterious empire, says
Travel Magazine. l have heard 1t In
all parts of the czar's dominions, from
the Baltic sea to Bering strait and
from Archangel to the Caspian; in the
glittering palaces of St. Petersburg
and in foul prison dens of Siberia.
1t is simple melody in the minor
key, suggestive, like most Slav music,
Of sorrow and unrest, and 1t Is called
"Matushka." or Mother Volga," an
for some cryptic reason every Rus
sian, be he noble or nihilist, is taught
from childhood to regard this great
river in the light Of a maternal rela-
tive. Yet the river is full of sad az
sociations, for convicts formerly trav-
eled a portion Of the journey to 81

sweetness of "Matushka Volga" as
heard 1t sung on a prison barge one
quiet summer evening by party of
fettered politicals banished to the
great lone land Of exile. For Mother

and the loved ones they might never

Fortunately the condemned are now

railway and the unhappy exile is

eiMPLE WAY TO FROST GLASS.
Chemist Tells Of Using Glue to Pro
duce Desired Effect.

duce Desired Eject.
A French chemist has discovered q
very simple and easy way to frost
glass. The method is to cover q tum-
bier or other glass object with 8 thin,
smooth and thoroughly laid on cover
ing Of glue. Either very good cabi-
netmaker's glue or fish glue will serve
perfectly. The only care that must
be taken is to see that there are no
air bubbles In the glue after It has
been applied and that the coating is
uniform and OF even thickness over
the entire article.
Glue thus applied to glass sticks to
1t very tightly. When 1t begins to con-
tract as it dries. Now, its tight hold
On the glass prevents the layers OF
glue from contracting without pulling
at the glass, and thus, little by little,
the glue Sits and splits tiny frag-
ments from the surface Of the glass.
Il certain salts are added to the
glue the effect is still more beautiful,
because then the splitting of the tiny
fragments Is done in such q manner
that the result forms perfect resem.
blance to q frosted window pane. A
glass tumbler or flask so treated be-
comes . beautiful ornament to tho
room or the glass cabinet.
