(Extract from the Congressional Rec.
ord of future date.)
The House was called to order, with
the Speaker in the chair:
The gentleman from Tennessee rose
promptly to declare
He espoused a point of order, and he
asked the Speaker that
To settle it he'd wrestle him two
rounds upon the mat.
That ceremony finished, with the
Tennesseean downed,
The Speaker donned his coat again
and took a look around,
Till the gentleman from Wyoming
his eye essayed to catch
And recalled that he had promised
him a tourround boxing match
To decide a little question of appro
priation for
An irrigation project that had hung
year or more.
Then the member from Rhode Island
asked the Speaker right to
make
Debate upon a bill for his constitu-
ency's sake.
I'll run you round the Capitol" the
Speaker said, and then
Ii You succeed in winning you can
talk from 4 to 10"
The gentleman from Delaware re-
fused to yield the floor
To the gentleman from Maryland
which quickly raised roar.
The Speaker called them up to him
and made them fight it out
In strictly prizering manner, and lie
refereed the bout
TN now appoint committees" said
the Speaker, with a grin.
well have a battle royal and the
strongest ones shall win
The House then stripped to fighting
toys, the desks were moved
away,
And the ruction was a corker for the
balance of the day.
At o'clock the Speaker looked upon
the painting pile.

smile.
The motion made, he donned his hat,

HOGS TAIL WORTH 5000.
He Is Immune From Cholera And
Yields Serum to Save Others.

Yields Serum to Save others.
Just think of a hog whose tail alone
is worth over $4,000!
The Missouri experiment station
| has such d hog, but since the tail is
now nearly gone, the hog is nearly
worthless.
This animal grunts to the name OF
Hyperimmune No. 81, the Omaha
World-HeraId says. During his short
career over ten gallons Of serum
for the prevention Of cholera has
been secured from him by means OF
clipping off a small piece of this po-
sterior appendage and catching the
blood as it dripped out.
1t is represented by scientists that
the severed end Of the hogs tail will
bleed just enough to relieve the ami.
nal of the surplus. When all the blood
has run out that the swine can affort
to lose, then the tail will quit bleed
ing.
Mr.. Hyperimmune No q was in
the habit of getting his tail tapped

was relieved of about three pints of
serum
This serum was sent out over the
state to farmers and served to inoc-
ulate 1865 hogs. 1t was estimated that
over 80 per cent of those hogs were
saved from the cholera. The hogs av-
eraged about 100 pounds in weight and
were worth four cents per pound.
You may figure it up. Total, over
$4,000.
The immune hog is one that has
had the cholera and has recovered. IN
doing this he has developed an anti
toxin in his system, which, when in
tlOduced into other hogs, will resist
the cholera.
But this immune hog is made hyper
immune by taking the antitoxin from
the blood Of other immune hogs and
Introducing it into his system. This
process is kept up until the hyperfm-
mune is converted into a vast vat of
immunity, Or Of antitoxin

over 80 years. Later in the day l met
the funeral of another officer Many
officers have been killed and wound
ed, so it viii be seen that they are
in the thick of the hight with their
men. The news of these deaths is
not likely to appear in the Spanish
papers, as the censorship is rigid,
and it may be 8 long time before the
general public of Spain can learn
the names of these brave boys who

BIRD THAT WAS FORGOTTEN.


He was Mary Elizabeths little bird,
and it was Mary Elizabeth who said
to him over and over Sing a happy.
song, little bird"
In summer, while the cage hung on
the porch out doors, many a man and
woman smiled when they heard the
happy song of that little bird. In
winter. sad-lOOlling friends who came
to call sometimes forgot the troubles
that made them sad when they heard
the wee pets bubbling song. 1t did
seem as if that particular bird would
never be forgotten.
There came a time, however, when
Mary Elizabeth went to Europe with
her father and mother. She couldn't
take the bird. A neighbor who hau
no cats offered to keep him untiI
Mary Elizabeths return. Before the
child sailed she gave her pet a bit OF
advice:
always sing a happy song, little
bird"
At first it was easy for the little
bird to sing a happy song; but one
day his kind friend was Obliged 10
leave town for a week, and ne was
left with strangers who promised
to take good care of him.
Always sing a happy song, little
Bird were the last words the neigh
Dor said at parting.
Soon after there was childrens
entertainment in the church. to which
birds were invited. Mary Elizabeths
pet was taken in his cage, and of all
the glad songs that day his was the
sweetest. He enjoyed the entertain
ment thoroughly, and when night
came he tucked his head under his
wing and went to sleep without fear.
He didn't know, poor little fellow,
that the child who brought him lent
him to her dearest friend to take
home and keep for five days; neither
did he know that one by one the
birds were taken from the church,
and he was forgotten.
Next morning the little bird awoke,
sang happy song, ate his breakfast,
and sang a happy song. His cage
was in a pew where little girl had
left him. The bird couldn't see the
sunshine streaming through stained
glass windows, but while waiting for
his bath he sang a happy song. No
one came to give the little bird his
bath, so he sang another happy song.
This is the part of the story Mary
Elizabeth never liked to think Of for
minute; how the little bird sang un-
til his seed was gone and the water
in his cup; how two days passed ana
the little fellow tucked his head un-
der his wing, and knew that he was
forgotten.
The third day the organist came 10
practice on the pipe organ. The lit
tie bird lifted his head when music
pealed through the church. He had
never heard anything ike it,-so
sweet, so solemn. When it was over
the weak little bird must have re-
membered Mary Elizabeth's advice:
Sing a happy song, little bird
AS the organist was passing to the
outer door she heard a happy song.
And Mary Elizabeth's pet was found
before it was too late. The organisr
had known Mary Elizabeth since she
was a baby, so of course she recog-
nized the brave little bird, who was
never again forgotten.
Mary Elizabeth is big girl in high
school now, but when she is discour-
aged, ana everything seems to go
wrong, she remembers the advice
she used to give wee canary
Frances Margaret Fox, in Sunday
School Times.

A Hard TARGET to Hit.

A member Of the cabinet was ap

officeseeker, who said:

We're going to give us?"
Why replied the secretary, a lit
tie piqued, "it is everywhere. Labor is
being employed; capital is becoming
active, prosperity is striking out in

DEy|SES A SHORT
RAILROAD TICKET
aeENr INvgNTs a FORM THAT
SAVES TIME AND MONEY
OLD CUMBERSOME LYLE, LONG
AND PERPLE;,iNe, APT TO BE
suPPLANTEo.


What is expected to reyolutionize
the universal passenger ticket sys.
tenn now in cse is the Parker juno
ton ccupon ticket, the fruit OF the
inventive brain of William S, Parker
ticket agent at the union depot in
otsumwa. Iowa. The new ticket is
now in the hands OF the committee on
universal tickets, and its worth will
probably be acknowledged by the &C
ceetance of the ticket
Aside from the fact that it shortens
the cumbersome long ticket, the new
ticket, it is said, will prove a boon to
the railroads adopting it. 1t cuts
down printing bills, lessons the size
OF the ticket holders in Offices and
practically does away with nine-tenths
of the clerical work of the ticket sell
er now necessary.
The new ticket is in the form of q
small booklet, fastened together by
brass clasps, and is sufficiently small
to be carried in the vest pocket
BY using the new junction ticket
the railroad Offices will no longer
have to keep in stock from 1000 to
l,500 different forrds OF tickets, hut
viii have to employ not more than
45 forms Five forms cover all the
business east OF Chicago, while 26
forms supply the want of visitors to
western cities. no matter how circuit
Gus route may be taken.
Another feature of the ticket is
that the passenger knows exactly
what he or she purchases. 1t does not
require veteran railroad man to I'm.
derstand it, and when large cities are
reached the passenger will not have
to suffer the irritable Inconvenience
now necessary for the long tickets to
go through at the hands OF the gate
keepers
To the railroad company the nov
ticket will appeal as a great saver
not only in Office room but in fixtures
as well. The present tickets for long
passage needed case seven feet high
by six and half feet wide, while the
Parker system viii need only a small
box nine inches wide By eighteen
inches long
The conductors viii be able to
werk the ticket in the same easy man.
ner that the old tickets are worked. All
that is necessary for the uniformed
men to do is to take a hasty glance
at the transportation. punch it where
necessary or take off the form that
has been travelled and hand the book
let back TO the passenger.
Parker has. long been trying to de
wise an Improvement over the old sys-
tenn of tickets, but had not worked
steadily on his invention before last
September Since that time, however,
he has perfected the scheme, and il
IS now in the hands of the ticket com
mittee of the various roads Parker
has been travelled and hand the book
thirty-one years.
