 Despite these numerous deaths, the number for the entire term was one less thna that for the proceed" ing Congress. In the T3rd Congress, there were four deaths in the Sem ate and three resignatioFs, while m the House there were l4 deaths ana three resignations.
 Deaths Caused By Fast Pace
 pr. George w. Calver, attending physician to Congress, planes the death rate on the fast pace at which members of Congress work. At the capital, he explained, they have to work for their bills, appear at hearings, do multitude of oftice work as well as meet visiting delega- tions. At home, they have to main. tain contacts to prep their political fences in order. The strain, he said, N cumulative because they do not lnave--or will not take--time for re- taxation.

ISLE OF WIGHT CASTLE
TOBE OPEN TO TOURISTS

LONDON, May 30.-One distinctive
advantage that Carisbrooke Castle
has over other castles, especially in
its appeal to the romantic and senti-
mental visitor, Is that 1t is on an
island, and a small island, at that:
from east to west the Isle of Wight
measures little more than % miles.
and from north to south only 13. II
there is something romantic about a
small island, how much more so when
there Is a castle on it. and one.
moreover, that is linked with one o.
the most tragic figures in English
history.
1t was to Carisbrooke that King
Charles the First came. seeking
refuge when he escaped from Hamp-
ton Court. only to find himself in a
closer prison than before. But the
story Of Carisbrooke by no means
begins with the Stuarts. Before the
Normans built a castle there. the Ro-
mans had made a fort. In $50 the
Saxons arrived. under Cedric and
Cynric, defeated the islanders and
named the place Wihtgarasburh-
the fortress of the men of Wight.
This Summer the splendid old cas-.
tie will be open to visitors. The
outer entrance to the castle is an
archway of 1898 1t leads. by stone
bridge, to the magnificent fourteenth
century gateway. over which is a
museum that contains relics of King
Charles residence. The lofty Nor
man keep is still there, and in the
Well House a solemn donkey draws
water from its depths of $50 feet
by treading inside large wheel.

One should devote two or three days
to a tour of the redwood empire, north
of San Francisco, not only because
there is so much to be seen in the
magnificent stands of the tallest and
oldest trees on earth, but because
there are other extraordinary sights

CUSTOMS TOUGH
BUT HUMOROUS.
Irish Wit Sparkles to Keep
Returning Americans in
Good Humor.
Ev the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, May 3o.-Thousands
of vacationing Americans will find
out for the first time this Summer
why the American customs Is gen.
orally recognized by travellers as the
toughest, the smartest and the most
polite In the world.
The Government has taken action
to give their smartness double
meaning. The assayers as well as the
inspectors have begun to wear blue
uniforms with shiny brass buttons.
The assayers have white caps and
the inspectors blue.
The more informal and less ardu-
GUS customs inspections in other
countries will seem child's play to
American globe-trotters when they
come back to 60 through their own
customs.
Shrewdness and Humor.
An army Of shrewd New York Irish
men-it seems to be an Irish mo-
nopoly-are inspectors and assayers at
New York's docks. They are accus-
toned to hearing travellers making
unfavorable comparisons between
"the ordeals" here and abroad and
they are coached to keep arriving
hordes in good humor. They usually do.
When a thousand travellers pour
of a big liner it is job of several
hours to check them through. Bar
ring diplomatic immunity, there Is
no favoritism for American or for
eigner, rich or poor.
Each passenger must, get his bag
gage together; then wait In line to
draw" his inspector. No choosing
allowed on either side.
inspectors are judges Of charscter
or otherwise they would be days clear
ing a big ship. An inspector may
order a bag opened and then not look
at it. In the intervening seconds. a
word or gesture has made up his mind.
Tips for the Coop"
Coopers rip open cases in a fash
and put them together as quickly.
Strange as it may seem, the traveller
is expected to tip the coop" who ex-
poses him.
I'VE have to open cases because
there are plain clothes men around
to see that we do our jobs right,
said one inspector. Some racket,
eh?"
Sometimes an inspector will help
out a befuddled passenger with a
leading question. like this:
Say, these trinkets aren't gifts,
are they?"
The passenger wasn't sure but took
his cue and said, mo" He paid no
duty.
