An Eccentric Russian Doctor.
The famous Russian. the late Dr.
Zaharin, was noted for his eccentric
methods. When summoned to attend
Car Alexander III. In his last illness,
DR.. Zaharin required the same prep.
aration for his visit to the palace as
to any Of his patients houses. That is
to say. all dogs had to be kept out Of
the way, oil clocks stopped and every
door thrown wide open. He left his
furs in the hall, his overcoat in the
next room. his galoches in the third,
and, continuing, arrived at the bedside
In ordinary indoor costume. He sat
down after walking every few yards
and every eight steps in going up
stairs. From the patients relatives
and every one else in the house he re-
Quired absolute silence until he spoke
to them, when his questions had to be
answered by "Ycs' or mo" and moth.

To Save tho TabIeejoth,

Nothing Is more provoking to the
careful housewife than to have per.
fectly clean tablecloth literally be-
spattered with gravy the first time it
is used. Get large table napkin-one
to match the tabecloth if possible
and piece of white oilcloth cut an
inch shorter and an inch narrower
than the napkin. Place the oilcloth
where the meat dish will stand and
spread the napkin over it. The gravy
cannot penetrate through the oilcloth.
Thus there is a considerable saving in
the washing bill

A Simple Treatment BY Which They
May Be Cured.

May Be Cured.
Did you ever take nine swallows Of
water to cure the hiccoughs? Do you
remember the time some one scared
the hiccoughs away by telling you Of
a whipping due for some meanness?
Well. science has been studying bic.
coughs and caught the hiccoughs by
the "nape Of the neck" The nine
swallows Of water had little science
In it, ard so did the scare cure. The
scientific hiccough cure consists In
pressing down to numbness the nerve
that connects the stomach. heart. lungs
and brain. the pneumogastric nerve.
The pressure partially and locally
paralyzes this nerve and Of necessity
the hiccoughing must cease.
Have the hiccoughing patient sit
down and be at ease, with the muscles
of the neck relaxed as much aa posi-
BILE. Grasp both sides of the neck
somewhat toward the back part and
press down steadily and as hard as the
subject may permit for about one min
ute. having the patient work the head
from side to side. Within about one
minute the nerve will be numbed and
rested. and the spasmodic motion will
cease. 1t may require longer pressure
in some cases, but the result IL sure II
patience is maintained. - Ohio State

VIII be realized that the task OF pre-
pairing for the annual visitation Is a
vast one. Every autumn before con-
gress comes a laboratory examination

chambers Is made. The officials OF
the public health and marine hospital
service assist Superintendent Woods
In making these examinations.
The air In the two chambers often
works some unexplainable tricks. Re-
peated tests have shown that the pur-
est air In the senate chamber finds its
abiding place around the dias OF the
vice-president. On the other hand the
worst air in the whole house OF repre-
sentatives Is shown In the we'll around

re looks after their preparation for
the next session. The sergeant-at-
arms OF the senate and the chief
clerk OF the house have charge OF the
furnishings of the two houses OF con.

Last year congress gave Superin-
tendent Woods an appropriation OF
about 1874, 1000 to be expended In finish
ing the interior OF the senate office
building and some 100000 for similar
work In the house Office building. With
this he has been prosecuting his task
all summer. In addition, he has all
the buildings TO clean and dress up
afresh This means their exterior AS
well as their interior A fire engine
from the city fire department is press
ed into service and for several days
throws continuous streams of water
on the exterior walls. When this
semi-annual bath Is completed the
capitol and its associate buildings are
as bright and clean as new pins.
There Ia an endless amount of paint
ing and decorating to be done. Every
| few years the big steel dome OF the
| capitol claims a fresh white dress. and
| TO furnish II Is no small expense. II
takes 700 gallons OF white lead to

Occasionally the Goddess of Liberty
needs II new bonnet. The bonnet
must be trimmed with platinum
points. These platinum points are
good conductors OF electricity. and the
Goddess thus equipped, is able to
make plaything OF every thunderbolt
that comes her way. She breaks them
up into thousands of electrical splint
ers and sends them to the ground.
Ii is said there are four names chill
eled on the base OF which the God
dess stands. The name OF Abraham
Lincoln was placed there because he
was president at the time she assum
ed her high position. That Of Craw

a most inharmonious effect was the
result. Many OF the older senators
became greatly attached to some OLD
piece. and were loath TO part with IL
even for harmony's sake. Now when
new furniture is added II Is always

There Is almost an endless amount
OF furniture In the many hundred
rooms or the Capitol buildings, rang
Ing from twenty foot committee
table TO a pair OF andirons or silver
plated pitcher. But great precau-
tons are taken TO preserve the gov
ernment's property. Each end OF the
big building has its big card index

a storekeeper at each end OF the Cap

Every year there are many pictures
in the Capitol which require renova'
ton, and there are special rooms
known as the picture morgues. The
paintings and sculptures OF the Cap
itol cost nearly million and hair
dollars. The greater portion OF the
pictures have been bought from the
artists, but there are some which
have awaited purchase for 30 many
years that their ownership has been
lost. and Uncle Sam has taken pos
session OF them. Sometimes In the
