How Forceful Speaker Quieted House Riot

In the latter part OF the last session
Of Congress in which Samuel ]. RAN
DAN, OF Pennsylvania, served as
speaker OF. the House OF Representa-
tives there occurred an incident
which with great vividness impressed
me with his force of character.
The House was in committee of the
whole, the discussion droning along
Members seemed to pay little heed to
the proceedings. My recollection is
that the question before the commit
tee was one of the minor appropria-
ton bills.
Suddenly the House was In turmoil
General James D. Weaver, of Iowa,
who had gained great influence and
prominence as leader Of the Popu-
list party, was seen to be crossing
the main aisle, his arms uplifted and
with clenched fists. What had oc-
Cured no one in the House seemed
to know; that is to say, no one could
tell what had been said by someone
on the Democratic side OF the House
which had kindled General Weaver's
anger and caused him momentarily
to lose control of himself, In the
confusion it was seen that someone on
the Democratic side OF the House had
raised a chair high In the air and
apparently purposed using 1t either
as a weapon of attack or OF defense.
Suddenly there appeared the superb
figure of Speaker Randall. It was
as though he had come like an APP
partition, and was at the speakers
desk with, up1ifted gavel. The ex-
preston of his face was that Of
magnificent strength and certainty
of absolute authority. He struck the
desk three or four times with his
gavel, and 1t was as though that emf
blem of authority spoke. In an IN
slant the House was perfectly quiet.
The mental power and official au-
thority of the speaker were suffi-

Client for the emergency. Randall had
thrust the. member who was sitting
as chairman of the committee of
the whole aside so swiftly that the
latter stood wondering. He was for
a moment In bewilderment.
Two or three evenings later I called
on Speaker Randall at his humble lit
tie home, which was situated in a
quiet but not artistocratic section
of the capital, few minutes walk
from the House of Representatives.
His office was a little room, a bed

on my part after order had been re-

German Wine-Growing

The German wine growing industry
is in a bad way. Every year since
1906 there has been a shrinkage in the
acreage of the vineyards, SO thatethe
total has fallen from >297, 900 to 266,O0o
acres. AS evidence of the growing
distress of the winners, the fact is
cited that the debts of the fifty CO.
operative societies of growers on the
Moselle have increased from $345. 900
to $2,000,000 within ten years. The
causes of the decline of the Industry
are various: Increases in the costs of
production, larger imports Of foreign
wines, defective German legislation
and crop failures from the ravages of
insects and plant diseases.

A GRAVE DEFECT IN PUBLIC EDUCATION.

Inadequate health supervision of the school chill
dren is one of the grave defects In the educational
system of our Cities and statistics gathered in New
York show serious the problem is in the greatest
of American communities. Last year there were
1854 pupils and only 2So,432 of them were ex-
amined because there were not enough medical in
spectors surgeons dentists and nurses to cover the
field OF the children examined nearly 10 per cent
had some physical defect requiring treatment, but
less than one-quarter of them received It,
According to experts of the American Public
Health Association there should be medical in
apector to every 1900 pupils But the increased
STAFF asked for by the Bureau of Child Hygiene con-
templates only to every 5000. The largest in
crease demanded is in the dental staff, which 1t is
proposed to double, making 1t eighteen When it is
known that of the classes of defects found last year
defective teeth numbered more than 10000, while
the next largest class defective nasal breathing, was
only 29500 the absurdty of only nine eight
dentists to look after the teeth of nearly mil
lion school children is apparent.
The health of the rising generation should be the
first of government and yet it is of the most
neglected.

Solid Alcohol as Fuel

In Germany, and to a smaller .ex-
tent in America, cubes of solid alco-
hoi are used for cooking and for heat
ing curling irons. It is much more
convenient to put in pills or metal
containers than in liquid form, be-
cause it can be used thus on metal
or asbestos without a burner, and
gives out certain uniform heat.
Some of these cubes are made of so

mass, Mixed with collodion the solid
alcohol Is more cieanly, but rather ex-
pensive. The cheapest and most use
full cube is made of sawdust soaked
in alcohol and mixed with tar.

Great. When she was twenty-four
she became the wife of Adolph, the
heir to the throne of Sweden, and
seven years later, when he succeeded
to the throne, she became Queen.
At the time of her marriage Ulrica
had SO greatly endeared herself to
her family thet there was general
sadness at her departure, and her
brother the King, usually considered
a man of little tenderness, gave way
to tears at seeing her go. Twenty
eight years later when queen Ulrlea
had lost her husband and had beooma
dowager queen she revisited the home
of her childhood and the great Fred

yet, although 1 saw a big crowd at
the opening night of a hotel dinner
dance managed by Americans.
1.-THE tango ia now the one dance
that all Paris is doing The tempo of
the dance has changed. The music
is more brilliant, but the time is a
little slower. In fact, the dance has
been much simplified Instead of the
three or four dozen steps whose very
eornplexity seemed last winter to be
responsible fer the wane in the local
popularity of the dance, the tango in
Paris Is now limited to about five
figures. OF course, the Parisians do
it gracefully.
"The lulu fado is of Portuguese
origin. 1t is taking the place of the
maxixe. A great many people who
don't want to do that dance the dan
ION Cubano. The lulu fado is done to
music of a rather Oriental character:
in fact, the dance itself is very sim
pie. tt Is in polka time You will see
people dancing 1t and not think they
are at all enthusiastic, but the mo-
ment the band stops everybody bowls
for more. The principal part of it is
two walking steps, followed by four
little running steps.
The damon Cubano is really a
Cuban dance, and you cannot iiken it
to either the tango or the maxine.
There are running steps to the sides
and a, very subtle, smooth pirouetting,
with knees bent This is done In two
four time.
"As for the one-step the Parisians
simply haven't been able to accom-
plish 1t. They do what they call an
American one-step, very much like
the old turkey trot, but they don't
seem to like our darby music, and
they do not Know how to do the hest
tation. They think they can waltz,
but If they are in time with the music
it seems to be pure accident. Our
straight, old-fashiened waltz they
call the Boston. I am inclined to
think that the tango will still be the
rage over here next winter"
