BERLIN, May 1G.-Because CO..
Roosevelts special train arrived pre-
cisely on time today, there was much
confusion in the reception plans at

had beer informed that thu train was
thirty minutes late and with the ex-
ccption OF Baron OI 5SuOoA, .-.1
minister of foreign affairs, and his
staff, there was no one at the sta

The kaiser had planned 10 nave MS

ever. after the Roosevelts had been
bundled into taxicabs and started for
the embassy.
When the kaiser heard OF the mis-
take he was greatly fused" and up

One Use For Skins of Cows

1t was examination day at coun-
try school on the outskirts of Leeds.
Six rows of neat little "tykes," with
polished faces and clean collars had
been carefully coached by the teach
err in the difficult art of evading the
pitfalls set by the willy inspector.
To boy, they were ready!
The classroom doors opened and
admitted the dreadful parsonage.
Nov, boys" he commenced in
his most insinuating manner, "can
any of you tell me a few things that
are made in Lceds?"
"Clothes!' said Tommy Jones'.
Right" said the Inspector.
"Engines' yelled Sammy Jen-
kins.
Right" said the Inspector.
Then the replies came to a sudden
stop.
Now, then, you bright boys,
hurry up" said his majesty. But
the dreadful silence was unbroken.
We'll, now, boys, what is the skin
of cow used for?" asked the ex-
aminer, in order to jog their memo
ries.
Little Johnny Binks fell off his
seat in his eagerness to be seen.
Please, sir - please, SIR" he
yelled, "the skin is used to keep the
meat in!"-Answers.

CurionS Customs of Congress

The total appropriations by
congress for 1910 amounted to ST.
O44, 4O1, 857.12. Few people know
that five dollars Of that sum went
for the purchase of snuff for senators
and so cents for the purchase of
sand, used by elder statesmen instead
of blotting pads for drying such
letters as they write in the senate
in the course of uninteresting
speeches.
The purchase Of snuff for senators
is among the duties of the secretary
of the senate, and there is no one in
the secretary's office today who
remembers when the custom began.
The sand used for blotters is within
the jurisdiction of the senate
stationery room, and no clerk
employed there now knows but that
sand has always been used in the
senate for this purpose. At the end
of the session the bulk of the snuff
is still unused; but it is not held
over for another year.
On the ledge over he wainscott-
ing just inside the two doors

of the senate and leading to the

boxes, which are filed each morn

work, and their tops have long since
rusted from the hinges. Behind
them in striking contrast are. two
spick and span gilded match boxes,

How Inconsistent!

Less than three years asgo the
United States treasury balance
was in excess of $25O,OOO 900.
Today it hovers around $75, OOO,-
600, and is rapidly receding.
Presently the government will
be obliged to borrow money to
pay running expenses.
Yet the Taft administration
insists on a tariff so high that
imports are seriously reduced,
and customs revenues drop, coupled
with extravagant expenditures
for objects which are by no means
all to be considered necessary.

gold does not explain the high
prices on everything we consume.
He lays it to general extravaganza
in national, state and municipal
government and in doing so he
comes much nearer the truth. But
he should go further, as that is but
a part of general condition. We
are extravaganza in government be-
cause we are so in our private lives.
Our general IDEAS and tendency are
reflected in governmental extrava-
gance. We are travelling at too
high pace all along the line in our
individual, household, business and
government expenditures. If Mr..
Taft and his party managers are 60
ing to stand on that old economic
theory as the explanation of high
prices during the coming campaign,

and when a senator stops on enter
ing the doors the presumption is
that he is getting a match.
No one will say exactly how much
snuff is actually used, though it is
admitted that pinches are still taken
from the boxes. Senator Thurman
of Ohio, whose red bandana was
long rallying flag in the senate, is
said to have been the last regular
user of snuff in that body.
The senate of the United States
and the parliament of Great Britain
are said to be the only bodies in the
world using sand instead of blotting
paper. For the use of the senate
the sand, known as black sand,
comes from one of the mines near
Pittsburg, and costs dollar. quart.
A quart lasts two years, and little
sand shaker stands on the desk of
each senator. This supply is re-
inforced by package of blotting
paper, costing one cent package.
1T is an amusing fact that old
senators, whom one would expect
to find old fashioned, generally use
modern blotters, while young
senators, like Mr.. Beveridge, are
scrupulous in their use of sand.
In the house sand is discarded and
snuff is not in evidence; but the
cumbersome system Of voting by
tellers has led to the preservation of
an interesting old custom, adopted
long ago for the convenience of
crippled members. The vote by
tellers is taken in committee of the
whole, when the members for and
against proposition march be-
tween two members designated as
tellers, who count the votes. The
chamber of the house is large hall,
and this form of voting would come
hard to man not in perfect control
of his legs. Voting by proxy is
strictly against the rules; but it is
no unusual sight to see passing be-
tween the tellers for regular count
along with the members one of the
little pages, bearing before him tn e !
cane or crutch Of disabled
representative. These pages are
solemnly counted with the rest.
