New Statesmen Are Economics al

TN this new house of representatives
] there are a number of members who
have come here witt full realization
Of the fact that they are one-termers.
They know that according to all hui
man probabilities they will not be re-
turned. and SO they propose to make
all they can out of two years i'm Of
fee. No expensive hotels for them;
on the contrary, they are figuring how
they can live on their mileage and
clerk hire, and save their salaries.
The result is that the superintend-
ent of the house ONCE building has
had hard work to keep members from
putting cots in their Offices for sleep
ing there. IL is said 10 be a fact that
some Of these CLOSE" congressman
have insisted that they be given the
right to move their trunks into the

ing light housekeeping.
Speaking of committee rooms, the
shift caused by the change in the po-
litical complexion of the house has re-
suited in embarrassment to some OF
the members who have been in the
habit CT taking their nips regularly
during the day.

CHEAP CLOTHES OF LONDON
Had Hold of Long End of
Bargain.

A man who-apparently had just re
turned from Europe was Dragging to
some friends at the Waldorf in New
York recently about some remarkable
cheap clothes he had got in London.
It's all rot to say they don't turn
out clothes over there as well as they
do in New York." he said, .and you
can get three or four suits for what
you have to pay a fashionable tailor
here for one. Now take this suit
have on. Isn't this as good fit as
New York tailor could give me?"
His friends agreed that il was. One
of the men glanced closely at the
sleeves and smiled. That suit was
not made in London he remarked
III bet you anything 1t was the
other said. but let me show you
something. Look at these buttons
There is no real opening in the sleeve,
and these are only fake buttonholes
A tailor in London would insist on
Sitting the sleeves and making real
buttonholes for the buttons"
The expression of the finder of
bargain clothes changed. He bent
over and looked at the cloth and
said: We'll. if this isn't one of last
springs suits! And particularly
told-come on, boys. I guess this is
on me- And merry party headed

Up to that time both the senate and
house restaurants sold liquor. which

trouble was the young clerks got into
the habit of drinking at these places

Doctor Draper has frequently been
described as a pioneer in the science
of prismatic analysis. His discOv
cries in this field covered wide
range. He even anticipated the incan
descent light of Edison when he sug
gested as a standard for photometry
for white light piece of platinum foil
Of given area and thickness heated to
incandescent by an electric current
of specified strength.
Capillary attraction was the subject
of his first researches and from them
arose his discovery as to how the
blood is purified, a mystery which had
baffled the scientists up to that time
1t was in 1S47 that he explained the
circulation and publication of the
blood in a work that attracted wide
attention.
Doctor Draper Is still remembered
at New York university as one of the
most prodigious workers ever known.
Besides his extensive research work
he found time to publish more than
a hundred books. monographs and ad-
dresses. He wrote a history of the
Civil war in three volumes and his

to be the same as when it was first

The solution is when the assistant
enters the bag he pulls in about Is
inches of the rope and holds it, as
shown in Fig. 3, while the committee
is tying him up. AS soon as he is
in the cabinet he merely lets out the
slack thus making enough room for
